Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

I guess Galatasaray fans won't eat Napolitana pizza again if Napoli rejects offer from their team. That offer seems pretty good with 40m upfront, following by 17.5m x 2, and i think the better Napoli to accept it, then end this complicated Saga. How long Napoli will be so stubborn in keeping Osimhen? I hope them have some sense when considering this offer.

Napoli must let him go, then focus on how to defend their title next season.
The issue is that by 15th of July, the 75 million offer is getting ending, and that means, there won't be any release clause, if Galatasaray offered 75 million straight up, then there wouldn't be any discussions or negotiations, but they can't, hence why Napoli still has a chance to reject.

With the current situation, if they can't make a deal for a few more days, there won't be any release clause, and in that case Saudi Arabia will be back on the menu. They will offer 100+ million for him, more than the release clause and Napoli would just accept that and reject any other offer lower than that. Osimhen in that turn will just reject offers, and because of that for a whole season we may see Osimhen not play anywhere, or be loaned out again. Napoli is shooting their own foot by not accepting, but the owner is a weird dude, so I guess we will have to wait and see.

Re: USA announces 50% tariffs on Brazil

Trying to make Americans and also Brazilians be in trouble financially because Brazilian government did something that USA government doesn't like? How does that make any sense? I get it, I do understand the whole communism etc etc thing, and Bolsonaro thing and all that, and I get you could definitely have some arguments over it.

But this tariff, hurts people of USA (makes no sense) and hurts people of Brazil too. Even if you imagine that you do not care about Brazilians, or make life harder for them just to make sure they understand who is at fault and riot against their government in your best dreams. Even in that case, why hurt Americans because of high tariffs? Like what did Americans do to deserve their presidents making life more expensive?

No doubt, Chelsea have improved in their performance, I will agree with you. But if you saw the final of the Champions League between PSG and Inter Milan, and the game between PSG and Real Madrid in the semifinals, you will understand my point in saying Chelsea will just be like a newbie playing against the pros.

Bro, it even happened in the semifinal against Real Madrid, in the first half, Real Madrid found it somehow hard to hold the ball on the pitch.

But still, having hope in Chelsea is good. Just know this, no matter how hard Chelsea play in this final, they still have a small chance of winning. I won’t say they will lose directly, because the game can change, as anything can happen. All I will still say is that PSG has a higher chance of winning, and my money will be on them tomorrow.
I do agree with this. Yes Chelsea is looking much better and they are a great team but PSG is on a whole another level and they will definitely end up winning without a doubt. I feel like the best chance Chelsea has right now would be park the bus all game long, because they can't really attack and win, but if they park the bus, and attack with few people, and use counter attacking method, they could at least try to slow down PSG.

That way, either they will get lucky and win, but even if they lose like everyone expects them to, they will not end up with that much goal difference. So instead of losing 4-0, they would at least lose 2-0 or something, which would mean they will keep their chances alive until the last whistle, that is important for a final game.

The best Chelsea cam do is park the bus if they try going head to head with PSG they'll get dominated in all areas thereby creating space for PSG to attack better and score. They shouldn't even allow PSG score first cause it would weaken them just like it happened to Madrid, Bayern, Inter and Atletico Madrid. Parking the bus is the best approach so they'll get a possible counter and score first. On a second thought I see everyone hyping PSG what if Chelsea happen to win with ease?
It could happen in a football match because a team will definitely have ups and downs that will happen and it will continue, of course Chelsea has fixed it with a strategy that has been arranged and PSG also applies many strategies that are difficult for their opponents to predict, especially regarding the many quality players and that is a strong support for their team, even though many teams conceded the first goal, at least they were able to equalize or reply.
PSG having good advantage in this final of FIFA Club World Cup but still Chelsea also done good job and have enough space to hold this game with soccer is always famous for his surprises and shocking results I am expecting good match between two big clubs.

Chelsea recent performance clearly showing good improvement which is encouraging sign for management because after few years now they are back in business and also capable of giving surprise in Premier League with their skilled players and consistency. Both clubs have good depth in their early games and things were also balanced which is interesting because with their consistency and quality they are capable of having good result in this final PSG done good job in semifinal which is amazing stuff.

Pant and Rahul both played a brilliant innings. Rahul scored 100 runs and Pant scored a chiselled 74 runs. India lost two wickets in a row at 248 and 254 runs. But Rishab Pant was run out. This is annoying. There was no need to take such risks in a Test match.

Nitish Kumar and Jadeja are batting very carefully. India want to take the lead. The team has managed to score up to 311 runs. India is behind by 76 runs. If Jadeja, Nitish and Washington Sundar can bat a little better, India can take the lead. Only scoring 76 runs is not difficult. Jadeja is unbeaten on 37 and Nitsh is unbeaten on 23 runs
Two good partnerships make this match balanced for both teams Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Reddy have good day on pitch now Washington and Jadeja are having stable batting which can give physical edge to India because now this is important if they want to have advantage.

India trailing by 47 runs, but this deficit is going to be ended 50+ runs lead can make good difference because most chances this match is going to be had result and India is going to chase target which could be not easy on this slow pitch on last day next 15 to 20 overs are going to be important because both needed to have some runs which can make difference then giving batting to England for last few overs surely give chance of early breakthrough for India.

If you are not new in here, then you must be aware already if what happens next. There is only two possible scenarios and that is it is either the price will now fall down or continue moving forward. Market on the other hand is still unpredictable because there are many factors that can influence it.

Obviously, $150k is a great direction or a great price to have but if it goes in another route, that is still nice for the others as they can only buy more at cheap. Either of them can cause a FOMO but I think the once we experience first is an increase before the dip. It can look like a pyramid scheme this way but not really since we can still hodl for a recovery and soon get our share of the pie too.

The main issue with Chelsea is their defense, the gaps are just numerous, and they lack much coordination therein. Most of them are slow and would definitely not be a match to the ever fast and swift PSG attackers. Chelsea's attack has received a good boost of J. Pedro and Delap so I presume they would keep the PSG defense busy in the match. Chelsea can only survive in that match if their defensive midfield is very fast to fall back as soon as they are beaten upfront because the defenders alone cannot bear the pressure of the PSG attackers.

IMO, the only place PSG would punish Chelsea is by outsmarting their defenders, they did it a lot to Real Madrid and they would be prepared to even do more to Chelsea. Maybe after this match, Chelsea would see the need to boost their defense. Ever since T. Silva left, Chelsea is yet to find a good replacement. I was thinking they would sign a good center back in the transfer window, but they didn't.
Even if Chelsea was good, PSG is literally "the" team to beat right now. So while yes it is true that Chelsea has some downsides, beating PSG would have been near impossible task anyways, not for Chelsea only but for every single team in the world right now. Is it completely impossible? Of course not, we have seen plenty of shocking results in world of football before and this could of course be one of them and it would be incredibly shocking to see Chelsea win, and it could happen.

But I would never bet on it, I would not put up even 1 cent on it, because to me it is clear that PSG is far superior team and will have easy time beating Chelsea too. Not even close game, I am expecting a huge margin of victory for PSG yet again.

I'm not a fan of Real Madrid, and I must say that you are a bit harsh with them. It's a fact that no matter which team it is, the arrival of a new coach brings changes to almost everything, from tactics and training aspects to faces and players who will follow this plan. Real is in a changing mode overall, and it's too soon to say that Xabi won't succeed. Of course, Real is Real, and the expectations are always high. However, every team needs time to be better, and time is the same for everyone. IMO Real will be among the favorites for this season and LaLiga, as it always is.
Predicting anything about any team currently is too early because most of the coaches are doing things for next season, and they are surely having better things in future Real Madrid is having change of coach and Xabi Alonso needs to understand few things with players adjustment is also important for him.

PSG used tactics like Barcelona and have big success in semifinal which give them good success they will learn their lessons from this defeat and their defense which is long time problem going to be better because without any improvement it's not easy for them to have better results against big teams. Too many big players with all on same level it's never been easy to have adjustment while few are surely needed more playing minutes, but coach surely have to check all possibilities for having better results.

Re: Senator Lummis Submits New bills on Crypto Taxes
by

on 11/07/2025, 17:42:52 UTC
Crypto is peaking toward another milestone along with this new bill. Avoiding double taxation for miners and exemption for small transactions and loans of this new bill are showing how a government should work for their people and I believe my country will learn from this.

I am seeing all three key features are in benefit of crypto investors. Small transactions with the cap of $5k in total per year is more than enough for a small crypto investor in my opinion. This way, with 2 family members, you may trade up to 10k without taxes. Hope this new bill will boost adaption of bitcoin in America at significant level.
It is more like an update actually but this is still a good news for the poor users because a rich user won't surely mind the taxes as they can afford it and still have more after the deduction. Yeah each government should work things this way where we can say a "win-win situation" but some are just selfish or corrupt. There is no such thing as "being encouraged" on their vocabulary.

The only chance we have is if their term ends and we can vote wisely for a proper candidate next time. What you said about family member is a good strategy for us to experience more limit and still be exempted from tax. For sure this helps the adoption to increase in the said country. The rest can still benefit from it.

First Stokes opted to bat first and then for 2 full sessions they scored at less than 3 and under 4 rpo.  Lips sealed

They didn't lose any wicket in 2nd session, which is good fighting cricket but so far it seems England are back to pre bazball era.
After winning toss having bat first good decision by Ben Stokes, but pitch is slow just because of this change of tactics from them specially after having humiliating defeat in second test at Birmingham now they also change batting style and having slow batting which working for them.

First day of third test match at Lord's first session was balanced for both teams but second and third belongs to England as they are able to keep wickets and doing score with 3 run-rate Joe Root is heading for another century while Ben Stokes giving good support 78 runs partnership looking good in these conditions they are heading for 400+ runs which could be good for them in these conditions.

Re: Women's Cricket Prediction & Discussion - T20 & ODI
by

on 10/07/2025, 07:16:31 UTC
Compared to the T20 format, I would say that England women's team performed very poorly, they looked very low-confident when they stood up to bat in front of the Indian women's bowlers.
And as a result, we saw that they were unable to maintain either the run rate or wickets, which resulted in them setting an easy target for the Indian women's team. And which the Indian women's team has touched very easily, although I thought the Indian women's team would win this match before the loss of two wickets, but they won this match with a clean sweep after losing four wickets.
In last few years Indian w team is having great development which helping them for having good results even still all teams are far behind from Australia w but now Indian w are doing good job due to few retirements in England w they are having mostly inexperienced players but here need to praise Indian w as well. Batting and bowling have good balanced, and they are doing good job even still need some improvement in fielding, but things are getting results now Indian w are leading series by 3–1 with 1 match remaining after this ODI series is going o started most chances Indian w will be won this and keep their winning streak.

In both ODI and T20I rankings Australia, England and India on same level while New Zealand and South Africa following them but in near future India w can take 2nd spot from England if they are able to keep this performance.

It is not the right time to talk about Tottenham. Because the season has not started yet and we have not seen any of their matches since the end of last season. We cannot predict their performance based on last season's performance, because seasons are different and player changes have an impact on the team. It is also important to see how the players will play with the new team and the new plan.

So I think it is too early to talk about Tottenham. We should at least wait for the season to start and make predictions about them after a few matches. Personally, the round of 16 is very difficult for Tottenham.
Honestly, for them, it is not really a huge achievement at all. We should be considering how this can't be that much of a big deal since they are not really hoping to do great at UCL at all. Most likely outcome would be staying out of top 24, because that is what they think it would be looking like.

What we are seeing at the moment is a team that is not doing great at all, and that is exactly what we are going to see yet again too. If we can do that, then we are going to make sure that they finish better at premier league, that is all that matters for them. If they can do that, then the yare going to make a lot of money without a doubt. Surely it is not going to be that tough, but it would not be impossible to handle neither, it can be done.

You just missed seeing one of the most extraordinary semifinal braces. PSG is was really nice. Literally, they smashed the Real Madrid team very nastily. Bro, 4-0 🥴 🤣 this sounds humiliating.... I never expected this from the PSG side, but honestly, they banged the entire team.
This makes me wonder if this is the era of PSG, ain’t no way I saw this coming nope, Real Madrid isn’t Inter Milan but, they sure did look like one when they played PSG tonight. Inter Milan would be feeling good of themselves, justified for the fact that, the might Real Madrid have had a taste of what they did and that’s really embarrassing. We might find PSG lifting the club World Cup after all. 4:0 against a team like Real Madrid was harsh, really harsh.
After watching performance like this anyone can talk about superiority of PSG which is completing their dream time with huge wins against top clubs of Europe they took long time for these results, but now things are on level, and they are having one of the best squad with good coach making things possible.

Their performance in champions league was really impressive, but team is currently having the best chemistry which is always important for having good results in long run no big name with all youngsters are making their mark in soccer world and also rewriting records of their historic wins at this level. Final of Champions League 2025 against Inter Milan and now having semifinal against Real Madrid on same level is clearly indicating about their performance and consistency with the result like this now peoples are feeling final is also going to be one-sided.

With my observation so far in this coming season in EPL I'm seeing that there is going to be a strong competitor within the clubs, with the way and manner each clubs is taking a step at time in preparation of the EPL to kick of on the 15th of August alongside with Liverpool club vs Bournemouth club and i know that any clubs that fail to amend from there mistakes last season maybe end up not occupying a better position in the EPL table.
In last few years, premier league is touching new levels of performance, quality and consistency with top clubs are having amazing skilled and talented players while their sources are also allowing them to keep things on challenging level in last season Liverpool dominates due to Manchester City problems and Arsenal old tactics.

Upcoming season is going to be full of action and challenges as Liverpool strengthening their squad Manchester City is also increasing its power and Arsenal trying to fix their problems which will bring new war for title race at top level three clubs are on same level. Few other clubs are also working on their squad depth which will give them good help for keeping things on good level but it's going to be interesting season with many teams on same level for title race.

It's a depressing state of affairs at United. Are they trying to sell those on loan first who don't fit into Amorim's plans (Rashford, Anthony)? But there are 5 weeks left until the start of the season and even if United suddenly make a chain of deals, how will Amorim have time to prepare the team for the season (even though the whole of last season was sacrificed for this haha)? At the moment it looks like United have nothing to hope for. Even getting into the European cups would be a success.
Isn't this the reason why they are so bad anyways? I mean at this point if they got relegated, I wouldn't be really that much shocked. Because, it's obvious that the team that won the freckling title ended up getting more players than United, so it's clear that United is doing a bad job.

The best thing about United right now is that the bar is set slow for them that finishing something like 8th for example would be a great level for them. Normally, 8th place was bad for United, but of course back in the day, but right now? That would be a huge improvement for them. I get that they do not want to make a bad decision, but the big names are out there. Like Osimhen is being sold, and United is not even considering him, he would have been so much better for them.

Honestly the performance of Chelsea shocked me, it was like the other games was a rehearsal for last night. They really executed their plans excellently, Fluminense wasn’t bad either they were just outplayed by Chelsea. The controversial penalty aside I think Chelsea deserved their victory. It’s like they get better with each game, the FIFA Club World Cup has given them an opportunity to  prepare for the premier league… there’s no perfect preseason than this lol. I believe if they continue on this form they’re gonna be title contenders for the EPL. Even this final is no longer sure as Chelsea are always formidable in a final, it’ll be difficult to predict on who wins.
They have been decent all season long, not really that shocking that they are doing fine again. Think about it this way, Chelsea would the conference league, finished fourth at league to go to UCL next season, and now finalist of club world cup.

As you can see, they have been quite good and not going to be shocked that we are going to end up with anything that is a shocker at the moment, it's literally their year, they have been great. Palmer on the other hand, looked to be one of the best players in premier league for like a month or two, and has been not so great since. He is looking good again, so that is a great comeback, lets hope he does well. Chelsea doesn't have a chance to win if you ask me, they will lose at the final game, but at least they got here.

This is a good way for the kids to start earning at an early age but I think they might still not value money thinking this is only how easy it is to earn it.

I just found that Olivier Giroud returned to Ligue 1 after signing a 1 year contract with Lille. He was playing in USA, precisely in Los Angeles and apparently he wants to return home once for all. I assume this short contract was done because of his age. Lille will evaluate the player before doing an extension and if he fails, he will try to find a weaker team to end his career with, maybe.

In another news, we might see Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returning to Ligue 1 or finding a better contract elsewhere since he seems to end his contract with his Saudi Pro League team.

Honestly, Olivier Giroud made a good decision, the American football league is of much lower quality compared to Ligue1, he is 38 years old, in Ligue1 he could still play for 2 seasons and then he could retire in a memorable way.
These things depend a bit on the money as well. He is 38 years old, and I doubt he can play for another 2 seasons, I am still shocked that he found a place for himself at Lille.

Either Lille has no good strikers, or they are getting him cheap for bench, I do not know the salary deal, but I hope for Lilles sake they didn't pay a lot for him. Dude hasn't been that great for a while now, and I do not think that he deserves to get paid a ton, he is a good mentor and a leader, would make him even a captain when he plays, but he is not the goal scorer that he used to be. This is why I do not see him being good at Lille. Not like Lille is doing that great neither, ever since that title, they have been doing quite badly for a while now.

Wiaan Mulder is a cricketer who hasn't gotten a century in an ODI. His highest score in an ODI was 64 from playing 25 matches. On the other hand, he couldn't reach the figure of fift in his T20 career from playing 11 matches. But here we see his best score of 367 runs from Zimbabwe. Here is highlighted the quality of Zimbabwe's test career. How can he get these huge runs from Zimbabwe? The ICC should stop the test cricket performance of Zimbabwe. 400* - Brian Lara, West Indies v England, 2004. He was legendary. He got this score from the top cricket-playing team, England. I think the ICC will restrict Zimbabwe from test cricket.
Man no one care about what you have done in past because always peoples remember your present and in today cricket Wiaan Mulder is the biggest start in South African cricket history as he achieved many records which are not going to be stayed with them for long time.

531 runs in just 3 innings having all new blood players and thrash minor team like Zimbabwe which is already down and out but no one care because ICC love to have them in their list they fail to achieve anything positive from this useless test series but now South African have few good youngsters like Codi Yusuf, Carbin Bosch and Lhuan-dre Pretorius. Hopefully someone from Zimbabwe or ICC after watching this useless series doing something for future and have some changes even I am not sure about this due to their corrupt mind and good funds which are coming into their pockets.

There are two ways of going to college, and in both cases it is worth it (depending on how much financially it will challenge you of course). One is going to a college to specialize in something that requires college, so if you want to be a doctor, a lawyer, then yeah you need to go to college, you can't be one without going to college. In that case it works and it is worth it and should be going of course.

Second one is not having any graduation mean anything to you, if you go to some silly major, and have no use for your diploma, then it is still worth it, unless financially it hurts you a lot of course, because I know American's pay a lot of debt, we didn't, so it was worth it for us. Because the point of college, unless you study to be a lawyer or a doctor or engineer, the point is to go there for four years, and be a kid, no more tests, no more acceptance, just classes, beer, girls and fun.
