It is very clear that Paris Saint Germain's main goal is to bring in a lot of star players because they want to win the Champions League trophy. But so far their plans have not worked out so well and they are still having trouble making it happen. I won't be surprised when in the transfer market they bring in Cristiano Ronaldo to join them. They don't care about the money they will spend to get the players they want. But keep in mind that money does not guarantee to bring them a title.
There are still people who believe that Ronaldo can be a part of PSG in January but I don't think so. Because it wouldn't be a sensible move for PSG. First of all, they aren't in need of another attacker now. Mbappe - Messi - Neymar trio are already more than enough for them. Let's say that they would think of a substitute striker for Mbappe. Even then Ronaldo shouldn't be their choice. Because he is another big player who shouldn't be waiting in the subs. In case he comes he would be like an alternative player to one of these players. I don't think that he can play more effective than any of them as all of them are having a very productive season now. Mbappe plays better than Ronaldo now because Ronaldo is declining in age and Messi will not be benched just for him to play. PSG don't need to add to their existing trouble by signing another star player who is of the same rating with what the currently have in their squad. Ronaldo can't afford to be a substitute just like what he has been reduced to at Manchester United and he will have a big issue taking his favourite number 7 has Mbappe will not be willing to relinquish it. PSG does not need any more star players in attack. This is why the management of PSG was in a lot of trouble by keeping three big star players like Messi, Neymar and Mbappe in the team. Galtier has just settled the feud between Neymar and Mbappe. Now if PSG again adds any star player to the team then their performance will become unstable. And I guess Galtier doesn't want to destabilize his team now. PSG have a lot of money. It is possible for them to take Ronaldo into the team. But it will adversely affect their performance. So I think the chances of Ronaldo coming to PSG are very low. |

Even I have to say they have improved since Potter's arrival, but maybe you should ignore the results of his last 5 matches. The fact Potter managed to get Chelsea out of the Champions League group stage should be the reason why Chelsea have improved. Even so, Chelsea has only played 14 matches in the Premier League, it will soon improve even better in the second half of this season.
To be honest i have never really heard of Potter before he became the coach of FC Chelsea. Looking at the results i would say that his work so far is not really that successful. I think that Chelsea made a huge mistake by firing Thomas Tuchel as their coach. I mean he became coach of FC Chelsea when they were in a really terrible state and after he came he not only made them successful in the Premier League again he even won the Champions League with them, which was an exceptional performance as a coach. I think Tuchel is one of the top 5 football coaches in the world right now. The only thing is that he seems to be kinda complicated to handle sometimes for the club officials. I agree with you. A big mistake by Chelsea management was to sack Thomas Tuchel. Chelsea won the Champions League title thanks to Thomas Tuchel. And it was totally incredible. No one could have imagined that Chelsea would win the Champions League title. Yet Thomas Tuchel has won it. Chelsea management should not sack such a coach. Chelsea have performed well in a few games since Potter took charge, but now Chelsea are once again a struggling team. I don't expect a better performance from Chelsea this season. |

Curtis Jones is from Liverpool academy but until this season he hasn't gets any places to Liverpool lineup for each matches because he lost to compete with other players such as Matic or Tiago which is more experience even for young players Klopp has more trust to played Harvey Elliott or Fabio Carvalho for midfield position but apparently Liverpool still giving chances to prove himself that he deserved to gets long duration contract and indeed i didn't see any impressive performance from Jones even i was remember this season he was into Liverpool lineup while against Nottingham Forest but unfortunately Liverpool ended up with lost result on that match but he is young talented player and extended his contract could be good investment for Liverpool
I have been wondering how and why Jones is getting this kind of hype as one of the key players of Liverpool. The people in this thread almost confused me to begin think why I have not been watching Liverpool football. Everything written about Jones in this thread is 100% exaggerated . Jones is simply a Youngster of Liverpool who has a future in the club, was given an extension because he is a product of Liverpool there is nothing more than this Jones is one good and talented youngster no doubt but he is still very young and still developing. I won't rate him as one of the key players for Liverpool because he hardly even gets playing time and if you want to rate by performance the first 10 he won't even be on that list so I won't acknowledge him as one of the key players for Liverpool. At the time there is nothing special about Jones. There is something very significant that Liverpool is doing right now, and that is securing its future. In terms of his age, Curtis Jones is one of the most promising players in the league. The young man is only 21 years of age and it appears that he has some really bright potential, despite his young age. He is a talented player who can become even better in the future if he continues to work hard. My belief is that if he can stay healthy and not get injured often, I think he will be able to have a prosperous career in the EPL. In my opinion, this guy needs to gain some weight, and I think he should put on some muscle as well. |

Actually, I dont think that Chimaev gonna win Convington. The trick of Chimaev tactics was the usage of wrestling. Covington is a master of wrestling also. But, Covington seems to have endless stamina. He is able to throw strikes like a machine gun for whole 5 rounds. Chimaev is stronger, but will he have space and time to use that strenght, when he needs to defence against an avalance of strikes. Covington might win by point, or judges will give a win to Chimaev, to continue his promotion.
When both wrestlers are in the cage, they actually end up boxing just like Usman vs Covington. They tend to show the world they are not just wrestlers. It's like they both know one can avoid being taken down. Chimaev is going to win if he can strike harder which is possibly going to happen, he's stronger, taller, and with reach advantage. I am actually going to say the opposite here, Khamzat is a better fighter than Covington in my opinion. There is no doubt that he is capable of fighting better all around. It does not matter if it is a standing-up fight or ground fight I think that Khamzat is most likely to be the one who will win. As far as I am concerned, Covington's only chance is if the fight does end up making it to the scorecard. Otherwise, he is not capable of winning against Chimaev in any way. If the fight does end and does not go to the scorecard, if it ends before the allotted time, the win is obviously going to be for Chimaev. |

I believe bitcoin will bounce back when this incident is fully resolved and it will take some time to resolve the concerns of many traders.
Of course, this isn't the first time the market has crashed, and it's not the worst either. Everything heals with time and with bitcoin it only takes a little while for everything to be back to normal. I'm lucky I don't use FTX and this is more of an opportunity for me than it scares me, I bought some bitcoin when it hit $16k and will keep waiting for more drops in the future. The bears are not going away anytime soon and we should take advantage while others are scared. but this is the worst thing that happened this year because after ftx crash in this week, even today news ftx is hacked again which of course will cause quite deep sorrow for traders who use ftx. but as you said right btc will slowly strengthen again and we just need to be patient to see it. This incident is also the second incident after Terra Luna, causing quite a pain in the hearts of traders because two major incidents occurred in the same year. therefore I agree with your opinion we can take advantage of this incident to be able to buy btc at a lower price this year and expect a strong bounce early next year. From my point of view, crypto is an extremely risky and easily manipulated market, so there will always be reasons for a sudden market crash. I used to think that the bear market is not over yet and what will be the next reason why the market will continue to crash, when causes such as crisis, inflation or interest rates no longer affect the market too much, the market is indifferent to the old news. Then the market needs a more terrible reason for the market to continue to crash. The bigger the market, the worse the crash stories are, enough to cause the market to panic, which is what the whales want. It's opportunity and risk is up to one's vision, if one day binance collapses i wouldn't be surprised either. |

Tomorrow, India vs New Zealand 1st T-20 in Sky Stadium, Wellington. Both team have some changes after World cup final. New Zealand site Allen got opportunity cz Guptil has injured. And other’s site India Chahal got have opportunity also.I hope this match will be more interesting. But very hard to predict match result. I Think both team can chance to win this match
What do you think?
In this match the team who plays well will advance. But in this match we are waiting to see a good game between India and New Zealand. Many people are waiting to see which team will win this match. Some days. Earlier we saw that India could not reach the World Cup final after losing to England in the World Cup match. Let's see what India can do in this match. One of the two teams that were eliminated from the T20 World Cup semi-final match one is New Zealand and the other was India. If a T20 series is organized between them, it will definitely get a different dimension to the spectators. There are two series will be played three match per series T20 and ODI. Hope this visit of India will be successful. This will be their first tour after the World Cup. Hope India will forget all the past and be able to maintain the reign with cricket again. India is playing with a very different team here. Infact the top-3 won't be the same in the first place. Virat Kohli who really anchored India to semis won't be there so I think New Zealand is a better side for sure, not to forget them having home advantage as well. I am betting on New Zealand for tomorrow's match for sure. Only if the young Indian guns can prove otherwise that they are better than the ones who went for the world cup. I don't think there is much to worry about Virat Kohli right now, there are many players of his age in other good teams who have been performing well for the team so far. And besides, his performance in the last ICC T20 World Cup shows that it would not be right to replace him now. Virat is one of the most important players in India. At this time, I'm not seeing any replacement of Virat. Form is temporary but class is permanent and this is proven by Virat. He had done well in the last t20 world cup. People know well how important Virat is for team India. Virat is now an indispensable player in the Indian team. He was out of form for a long time, but still the Indian management kept him with the squad. And Virat Kohli has been able to prove his worth in the World Cup. He collected the maximum runs in the World Cup. And while the performance of the Indian team's batsmen has not been consistent, Virat Kohli has been able to continue to perform consistently well. And I think Kohli will make an important contribution in tomorrow's match against New Zealand. |

It was interesting match not tight match Australia vs England. Almost, Australia won the match easily. England early lost few wicket and didn’t big score without Malan.Malan played very good knok,He made 100* that match.If Australia won then match Man of the Match award got Malan.Myi thinking was also Malan deserved that.One thing,Australia bowling site also fired.Good luck England for 2nd ODI.I hope they will be back in win site.
After the disaster at the beginning, England seemed to be stuck. They could not prevent their wickets from falling in any way. But when Dawid Malan extended his stay on the pitch, England were at ease. They finally managed to reach where they were trying to reach through Dawid Malan. But the desired score could not create any resistance for Australia. Australia won the match without facing any pressure or difficulties. England's bowlers were unable to pick up early wickets, by which Australia get very easy win. Malan's big score of 134 runs had no impact on Australia's batting. If I Talking about today's match, I will say that the bowlers of both teams did not perform well in the match. In the beginning the Australian bowlers did a little better from the beginning, it was because of their negligence that England managed to go above 200 or 250.But However, in the second innings, England got a lesson from the Australian batsmen from the beginning. England stumbled at the beginning of the innings. They lost three valuable wickets for just 31 runs. And this is where they fall behind. Even then England were able to post a big target of 288 depending on Dawid Malan's performance of 134 runs. Although the target is big enough, but such a pitch should have given a target of at least 300+ to win. The performance of Australia's top order players was excellent. The first three batsmen of the top order scored 86, 69 and 80 runs respectively. As a result, Australia did not face any problem to win. The performance of their bowlers as well as batsmen was excellent. |

Bayern could have a good mentality, but we have seen last year that the mentality they have doesn't really change anything when it comes to win or go home games. Sometimes they can win it all, sometimes they can lose to easy teams, which means that they are not doing that amazingly when it comes to elimination or at the very least, we could say they are not doing that consistently, and they could be amazing or terrible and we do not know which one it will be.
This year they look fine, but we have to wait and see what happens, plus the games will be way down the line, we have world cup first, then some league, and only after that teams will play their UCL games so we have time.
Bayern Munich's performance last season was really poor, I could hardly recognise the Bayern Munich of old days when Ribbery, Robben and Lewandowski dominated the league and helped Bayern Munich stay top of the league for long years. They are doing much better this season atleast a lot better than the previous season, we can only hope they can maintain this form until the end of the season both in the Champions league and in their domestic league. I wouldn't say Bayern Munich's performance was bad last season. He played well enough and won the title easily. They were 8 points ahead of second-placed Dortmund. And Bayern Munich's performances at the start of this season have been very poor and erratic. But now they are back on the truck and have continued to perform consistently well. Bayern Munich will easily win the Bundesliga title. But I am not sure if they can do well in the Champions League. Because Bayern Munich will face PSG in the knockout round. If Bayern Munich can win against PSG then I think they can go to the final. |

Psg beat auxerre 5-0 at home. They didn't make much of an impact, but they had no problem taking advantage of the positions they found themselves in. 5 goals from 6 shots on target shows that.
In the most important match of the week, it was Marseille who won. They managed to get 3 points with 3 goals away from Monaco. In this way, they ended their bad run by winning 2 weeks in a row.
This match was very important for PSG. Because in this match PSG's second-tire player played against Auxerre basically. Messi, Neymar, Mabppe and Ramos were all in the starting XI. But every player played very carefully because now they want to avoid injuries. And so the onus for this match was on PSG's second-row players. And Hugo Ekitike, Sanchez and Soler have proved their mettle quite well. With the help of these players, PSG won a great 5-0. So even if PSG's top players are absent due to injury in a match, PSG still has the ability to perform well. Now their team is quite strong. |

Looking at Group F seems interesting. Although I am sure that many people will predict Belgium and Croatia who will qualify for the next round. But remember Canada and Maroko also have good players. The Canada team will be with Alphonso Davies, Jonathan David, Tajon Cuhanan while Maroko Hakim Ziyech, Archaf Hakimi, Noussair Mazraoui, Youssef En-Nesyri. I think these two countries have a chance to make it difficult for Croatia and Belgium because Belgium and Croatia are currently filled with a lot of old players. The strongest teams in Group F are Belgium and Croatia. Both these teams have high chances of qualifying for the next round. But we often see strange things in the World Cup. Small teams also perform well and win against big teams. Belgium and Croatia are strong enough teams. But they must play carefully in every match. Canada and Morocco have some very good players. So if Belgium and Croatia do not perform carefully against these two teams. And take these two teams lightly, then they won't win. But I believe Belgium and Croatia will do no wrong. and will qualify for the next round. |

PSG has odds @1.15 so this is not the best option to placed my bets because although probably PSG will going to win the match but the profit will not be decent but for recently i noticed PSG defensive line looks poor because in their latest 4 matches in all competitions PSG has failed to clean sheet so although Auxerre is weak team i will assume they can steal goals from PSG so both teams to scores might be good for this match
So what is the PSG lineup? if Messi can play tonight probably will show an attractive match, but maybe he still recover due to a tendon injury?, PSG has a problem lack of squads due to the world cup where to begin soon, several player like Mbappe and Neymar maybe want to break in this week before kick off on Qatar to get fit and avoid the injury. nevertheless, the odds are still not profit even the squad are still doubtful, maybe will change in second of kick off until the television show who the starter. Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are all three in PSG's squad today. However, it is very risky to perform in this match before the World Cup. Yet they took this risk. However, PSG's formation is different in today's match. They will play in 4-3-3 today. PSG will probably not play too much attacking today. Because all players want to avoid injuries. No player would want to suffer an injury before the World Cup. So it is possible that PSG will play somewhat defensively today. and will seek a narrow victory. I guess PSG will be happy with a 1-0 win today. Or there is a possibility that the match will be a 1-1 draw. |

At the moment, England is under no pressure. They need to collect 7 runs from 12 balls right now. The English still have enough wickets. In fact, the Pakistanis were first told that their runs were too low. The batting performance was so poor that they could not score enough runs. If Pakistan could have given the English a target of 180 runs, then the English would have been put under a lot of pressure in today's match.
Ben Stokes' responsible batting made England champions easily. Pakistan set a target of just 138 runs. We understood very well that it was impossible to win with such a low target. Even then, the match became quite competitive as Pakistan's bowlers bowled well. Ben Stokes' unbeaten 49-ball 52-run innings made England have no problem in reaching the target of 138 runs in this match. But I think Sam Curran and Adil Rashid are the main heroes of England's victory in today's match. These two bowlers of England have done amazing bowling. |

Napoli vs Udinese between these two teams I think Napoli is much ahead. So I think Napoli will win this match very easily. But Udinese will want to win this match and whichever team can play well in this match will win. But among all the teams, Napoli team is still ahead. So I think Napoli will do well in this match and they will win the match.
I'm a little dizzy reading the comments you wrote because they revolve around the same words. In essence, everyone already knows that Napoli is better than other teams in Serie A this season, the proof is that Napoli have now managed to score one goal in the 15th minute through Victor Osimhem's header. After all, the match took place at home to Napoli which made the Napoli side even more enthusiastic about playing and winning the match easily. Napoli players managed to continue their dominance against Udinese from the start of the match. They are playing well today as in previous matches. And if they win today's match, they will go almost 11 points ahead of the second placed team in the table. And it will be Napoli's 13th win. Napoli players are performing cautiously in today's match. As the World Cup is just a few days away, players do not want to face injuries now. And so I think today Napoli will probably not win by more goals. Napoli will win 1-0 or 2-1. |

I can't believe Man City played so horribly in the first half against Brentford... I thought they could destroy the visitors, but so far they haven't even created a single serious chance... I'm sure many have added a City win to their multi bets as have I, but so far City make such a bet doubtful... Hopefully Man City will get it right in the second half...
I hope Man city will come back second half.But Brentford played very attacking games.They have more chance created in first half.Bromford start to playing well this season and they played very expensive last year.If Brentford will win today match, I didn’t surprise with that cz they have to chance to win this match. Throughout this match I saw Manchester city having difficulty processing the ball. As the host of this match, of course, Manchester City will try to get 3 points to secure it at the etihad stadium. But Brentford was a bit of a pain, hoping as usual Halland would score in stoppage time. 75' Match on going, Now score Level 1-1, Can man city will win this match?I think, They don't get win this match.Brentford playing very well and they have many shots on target already. If man city will be point share this match then it will be very loss project for them.Arsenal already 4-6 point gap in Man City.Who will stop Arsenal? Looks like the match is going to be a draw. Excellent play by Brentford's defenders. Manchester City players are attacking a lot. Manchester City players have made 24 shots so far. And every shot was successfully blocked by Brentford players. Brentford defenders Zanka and Pinnock's performances were outstanding today. If Manchester City does not win today's match, then their points gap will increase from Arsenal. And the title will become more difficult for City. |

I believe bitcoin will bounce back when this incident is fully resolved and it will take some time to resolve the concerns of many traders.
Of course, this isn't the first time the market has crashed, and it's not the worst either. Everything heals with time and with bitcoin it only takes a little while for everything to be back to normal. I'm lucky I don't use FTX and this is more of an opportunity for me than it scares me, I bought some bitcoin when it hit $16k and will keep waiting for more drops in the future. The bears are not going away anytime soon and we should take advantage while others are scared. And so as the CPI report comes in, it's not that bad as expected. So the whole crypto market is up today more than 10% from some top tier coins.
At least though in the last 3 days, it was really bad for us, bitcoin nose diving to a lowest low at $15,500, but now recovery on it's way, around $18k. So that's how the market works, there will be times that the market will drop very hard, but there will always be bounce back due to some positive news. So I guess the next question is when we are going to see $20k again because this is our support line for the last couple of weeks.
In my prediction we can't get back to the $20k resistance this month or next as the death of FTX is still happening, there will be many FTX invested and partnered platforms that will declare breaking production in the near future. Prepare money to start a new shopping spree. |

Have you seen the recent news about SBF and FTT? I think that's what caused this drop. Currently, the FTX exchange has blocked withdrawals and it is possible that thousands of investors will fall into a similar situation as the 2014 Mt.Gox floor crash caused.
While FTX is one of the biggest exchanges (2nd or 3rd), it eventual downfall wouldn't cause the situation anything remotely similar to Mt.Gox. Hell, I don't think that even Binance is big enough to compare with h Mt Gox market share prior to collapse. Yes, if we compare then no one can be as big as Mt.gox, because at that time there were not as many exchanges as there are today, now assets are distributed and spread across many different exchanges rather than concentrating all on a single exchange. But the collapse of FTX is not just an exchange, it will entail a series of ecosystems that Alameda fund invests in, typically Solana is suffering the most. Alameda Investment Fund is investing in many leading projects in the market and they will have to liquidate them all to save FTT. I still remember on January 31, 2022 after completing the series C fundraising, FTX was valued at 32 billion, this is not a small number and less than 1 week, the market capitalization has decreased by more than 150 billion and will continue if there is official information about the bankruptcy of FTX. |

In my opinion, Messi does not show anything special this season (but compared to the disastrous last season, he certainly performs better). Neymar, in my opinion, performs more brigtly and this is reflected in his statistics. But in general, PSG remains not a star team, but a team of stars, so such a standard of team play as Bayern for me will be a favorite in this confrontation.
Sorry, I can't agree with you. Messi is playing well this season. He scored 7 goals and 10 assists in 12 Ligue 1 matches. Does it perform well? However, if we compare Messi's performance in Barcelona with his current performance, then this performance will not be good. But don't forget that Messi was the most important player in the Barcelona team. And the match strategy was made based on him. The players of the team helped Messi a lot to score goals. But Messi is not the main striker in PSG. Messi's performance at PSG suggests he is primarily a midfielder. And his main job is to create scoring chances. And considering this aspect, Messi is performing very well this season. Maybe he means when compared with any player like Neymar and Mbappe. I also still bit feel Messi is a bit selfish on the front for this session, maybe because he wants the world to know he is still better and wants to show the last skill before retiring. but, I admit Messi is a better performance from the last session, he looks to find what he wants to bring PSG to the top. Maybe he has a purpose to create the last achievement as a legend of 2 big clubs, Barcelona and PSG when able to bring the champions league title this year. Messi is in much better form than last season. And Messi's performance is good in every match. Messi's role behind PSG's good performance in every match despite not scoring goals is undeniable. Messi is now PSG's playmaker. Messi strengthened the bond between PSG's midfield and forwards. And now we see Messi playing both midfielder and forward roles. If Messi can continue this performance, the Argentina team can qualify for the finals in the World Cup. And can win against Bayern Munich in the Champions League as well. However, if Messi is not in form, PSG will not be able to win against Bayern Munich. |

Bond yields have increased a lot in the last 2 days and the stock market is likely to retest yearly lows as well.
As they are closely correlated, so are most crypto assets. they believe Bitcoin has not hit rock bottom and they will buy again when Bitcoin really is at its level.
Both markets are correlated but that doesn't mean they will always move exactly the same. The stock market is rising and so is bitcoin as we are benefiting from the news of the US midterm elections. But yesterday we received bad news in the crypto market, the battle of the two biggest players in the market caused a very unexpected drop. Without this bad news, I believe the market will recover well this month and the market will not follow the stock market, we are doing better than them as bitcoin has consistently held above $19k over the past few months, while the downtrend stocks show no signs of stopping. |

today i saw bitcoin price going down, and i want to ask everyone, what caused bitcoin to go down? Is it because the world economy is in decline or not?
Have you seen the recent news about SBF and FTT? I think that's what caused this drop. Currently, the FTX exchange has blocked withdrawals and it is possible that thousands of investors will fall into a similar situation as the 2014 Mt.Gox floor crash caused. This could be the next market crash this year like 3AC and Luna caused. At the moment, it is not clear whether investors will lose money forever. After all, hopefully everyone needs to remember: not your keys, not your money. |

I don't think Frankfurt will be a serious obstacle for Napoli and just because Frankfurt beat Celtic doesn't mean they can beat Napoli. True, this game is still four months away and no one knows how things will go for both clubs. But I think Napoli are in contention to play in the final this season.
Both coaches still have a lot of time to prepare their respective teams before the match starts, but for now Napoli do have a better condition than Frankfurt, Napoli performance is currently having the upper hand so if we think about it of course Frankfurt is not a difficult opponent to be faced by Napoli, but I think at this time we also need to take into account the World Cup risk so there will likely be a lot of changes in the two squads later both Napoli and Frankfurt, which might send their players to defend their respective national teams. I also think so that such a long pause will make a difference in the respective squads. Napoli became a formidable club if we look at it now, Frankfurt also did not have a perfect match as Napoli. The round of 16 is a good opportunity for Napoli to be able to step into the big 8 phase because their opponents are not so tough. I don't know if this is luck for Napoli or not because they didn't have a really tough opponent. Oh yes Napoli is a club that has only experienced one defeat in all competitions this season. The defeat they got when they met Liverpool in the last match of the Champions League group stage. Napoli is in great form right now. And if they were to play against Frankfurt now, they would undoubtedly win the match. But don't forget that the match will be held at the end of February. We still don't know how the teams will perform after the long World Cup break. However, if Napoli's players continue to perform well after the World Cup break and no key players are injured, Napoli will dominate both matches against the Frankfurt side. Frankfurt's performance is not enough good. Their performance is unstable and their defence is weak. And Napoli has always performed well against weak defences. |
