I do not believe this game will go to overtime or anything, PSG will win easily within the initial time. I think I will make two bets too, one of them will be just PSG winning, but another will be for 2.5 over in goals, maybe even in margin of victory.

Because that feels like it could happen here. Chelsea doesn't have great defense, hell they do not even have great offense to be fair, and because of that I can see PSG scoring a lot of goals. In that case we are going to end up with better results, and shouldn't be a problem at all. I get that people want to see Chelsea make an upset, because that would make it fun, unexpected results (specially if you are not the fan of the losing team) is a lot more entertaining, but I doubt it is even possible now.

If there are no big injuries, I am assuming that Liverpool could be title winners again, not only they won last year, but they added great players on top of what they already had, so that is an important factor for them to be considered possible winners.

Arsenal is looking great too, they were second, added Zubimendi, and they are working hard on Gyokeres deal as well, while Sporting president is making it tough for Gyokeres to leave, I am sure that a deal will be struck one way or another. They can try to keep a player by force, they have the contractual agreement about it, so they do not have to sell, but I am sure that after what Gyokeres went through, release clause will be more mandatory by player agents all around the world. I am sure Gyokeres will go there too, so Arsenal will be very strong.

I still believe it would be a huge mistake to get Antony to Leverkusen , specially for that much money. We all saw him and how he played at United, and at Betis he did some great scoring at the moments that mattered so I agree he has some worth.

But Leverkusen is not some team that gets players for 50+ million, just because they made some money from the Wirtz deal, doesn't mean they should be spending all of that in a single season. This is what Erik Ten Hag does, he spends way too much on subpar players and then he fails to get results. I am sure that if they do this then they are not going to get the best result. It would be wiser if they could focus on getting players the way they always did, under 30 million, that would make more sense.

Ronaldo signing back again is a great deal without a doubt, and it would not be possible without the right conditions. Ronaldo went back to United, and he had terrible time there with Erik Ten Hag and nobody supporting him, and Saudi league being right there with a 200 million a year offer when that happens. If he was great at United and got along and was being played all day and they were getting wins, then he wouldn't have accepted even for 200 million, so the timing was perfect.

Still, even with all of that in mind, I bet that Messi won't go there, it happened before, Al Hilal offered him more than even Ronaldo, and he still rejected, which goes to show you that he is just straight up against going to Saudi league and it is not about the money.

I am going to go on a limb and say that Real Madrid will not win UCL this season as well. They are not going ot be as bad as last year, because they had many injuries last year which caused them to be worse, they will do better at group stages at least, and depending on who they face afterwards, I bet they can go even further, but they won't win.

Because every season, the best team in the world usually ends up winning, and that means, even if you are a lucky team with a good draw luck, facing easier opponents and go to finals, you will still lose at finals because the best team wins. Rare cases of smaller teams winning, but that's very rare. And at this moment Real Madrid is not the best team and PSG looks like the better team, even few others.

Re: USA announces 50% tariffs on Brazil

I am pretty sure this is regards to BRICS and not about communists or how Brazil is governed. I get that it may not be the best nation politically, but USA didn't do anything about it, all the way until BRICS and now they are retaliating for what BRICS İs doing.

He already did this with Russia and China, now he is aiming at Brazil, and could even increase it more in the future. Dude knows that going to a war with any nation is costly and dangers his position, but making economical warfare is free for him and he is allowed to do. So instead of actually fighting, he is just increasing tariffs on whoever he wants, makes more sense to him and easier to handle the paperwork too, he doesn't get that much backlash because of it neither.

Do you really believe their is a weak team in the Club World Cup? Wait if they had lost against Fluminense or Palmeires won't you all criticize them? We have seen Chelsea lost to worse team in previous seasons so the consistency of winning against small teams means they have improved a lot. Is it their fault that Manchester City or Al Hilal couldn't make it to challenge them.
They haven't met a serious team to test them yet but i will say they have improved a lot now and I believe they will still be better by next season they just lack a little bit of experience and playing in the champions league will help them just as this CWC have helped them.
If you look at the "group" stages, yes there were some small time clubs because of where they came from. Like Auckland for example has literally part time players. But, they were the best of where they are from so that is why it worked out for them.

However, Chelsea definitely played very well so far, and yet, they finished fourth last season, so not like they were some terrible team, they were already a decent team and I bet they will finish somewhere around the same place this season as well. I get it, it is not really that much of a guarantee that they will finish fourth again, but somewhere about 3-5th place should not be impossible for them to handle, they could make that work. I bet that they are going to end up with some good results.

Real Madrid were just horrible. That's all. It would be funny to still defend that sh*tty game honestly. 2 of those goals were purely because of silly defensive mistakes. They couldn't even answer PSG in any way. Such a disappointment...  Sad

Now in the finale PSG are highly favoured naturally. Can Chelsea be the one to counter them?  Huh  I don't feel positive about it. PSG really care about the tournament. They are still playing their same deadly game like they had in the Champions League...
The question is, will they be like this for the entire season? I know in theory this is "end of 2024-2025" season type of deal, not start of the new season, but lets be honest they are at the new season now, and I am pretty sure that Real Madrid might play like this all season long. I am not talking about the two mistakes that caused the goal, but not like they were amazing outside of those mistakes neither.

Even if Real Madrid didn't make those mistakes, and the game was tied at 30th minute, I bet you that we would still see PSG end up winning the game. The difference is huge, and I do not think that we are going to see that much of a great profit for them at all, not right now, the difference will be a lot more than we assume. So Real needs to get better.

Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

I am reading that Juventus and Vlahovic are working on a deal to get him to be a free agent, even without being sold. They tried to sell him, but Vlahovic couldn't find a team, not sure why because he is good enough to find a team at least, we know that much. However, Juventus wants to be done with this saga, so they are basically telling Vlahovic, terminate the contract, mutually, without Juventus paying. That way, Vlahovic could find himself a team as a free agent, instead of staying at bench all season long.

I think at this point, Vlahovic postponed it, only because he is telling his agent to go find if any team would accept him if he is free agent, if there are any interest then he could definitely go free agent and move to another team.

Real Madrid defense will be better, they are not doing great right now due to injuries but they are going to get better. With that new transfer kid, rudiger, militao and more, they are going to get their defense back, they need some training toether, and I am sure htey will ge tbetter. Sure in this game we saw two mistakes, but that won't be a common thing, it was just bad luck.

If this season doesn't work too, then they really need to make sure they can do a better job with transfers to get better defenders, otherwise it won't work at all. Like Rudiger made a mistake thats true, but can we say he is a bad player? I do not think so, but if they want to, they could probably afford to get a better defender, which should help them a lot.

When you have "NATO" that does what it does, it wasn't really a shocker that eventually other nations would start to gather around. Mainly, India, China and Russia is the big three, Brazil is the fourth and not bad neither, they had some political instability in recent years as we all know, but not a small economy neither.

Places like Vietnam or Uganda is not what they are looking for ,they just want numbers, you think those actually contribute anything at all? They are just telling these nations "we can take care of you, you do not need USA anymore" and that's it, many nations cheerfully agree to that of course. Basically, competition is healthy and we needed this for a long time, let's see if it would have impact on economy in any good way.

Re: The Burnout Cult & Remote Revolution

Remote ones could be fired easier as well, just a mail and you are done. However, remote work makes things a bit harder for the employer, not for the employee. The "feeling lonely" and what not parts are not important considering you can do so much more. In 99% of the cases for jobs, where you work 8 hours a day, you do not actually need to be there for 8 hours.

It means you can't really make yourself do something productive. Whereas, at home, when you work, if you want to work or have some work then you work, but when you don't have any work, you can easily either do something fun meanwhile, or you can even work on your own business. I know a guy who worked for a foreign company making games, and while working, he made his own game, and became wealthy, 10+ million dollars. All done, during his free time, while working.

I am pretty glad to see plenty of people here are anti-trump again. For a while, because he was pro-crypto, everyone here talked about him in high regard, that is what campaigns are for and that is what he did, to get to the power and after he got the power, there wasn't really any need for him to keep his promises and that is why he is not. He can do whatever he wants, he has the congress, he has the senate, he is the president.

We have seen with "one big beautiful bill" that he is doing whatever he wants, it's a terrible bill that adds 3.3 trillion to deficit while cutting taxes for the rich and getting money out of the poor and making 15+ million people lose medical help. So believe me that we are not seeing that kind of president, he is a bad one, and finally people here are seeing that.

Musiala could turn back great, there is no need to start talking about someone else this quickly. I get it, he got injured a few times, and now going to miss a long time, will come back probably second half of the season. This is why we are not going to really see Musiala be absent for that long, he is a young player and could be future of Bayern Munich.

If you already start to talk about replacing him, then we are not going to really see how this could be that much of a difference for the long term. I believe it should be doing a lot better, and we could make sure that we are dealing with a lot better return without a doubt. If we can do that, we can definitely make some return without a doubt. Most people need to just let him be, and not stress him out.

OP, I smell like you are collecting ideas for a new coin? I am so sorry if it is true. I mean you should spend your time and energy somewhere else rather than trying out a new coin because one way or other, allcoins will become a shitcoin unless otherwise you have big money for marketing. Or, you need to team up with Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos for covering your all expenses especially promotions.

In other words, as of current trend of altcoin space, I do foresee that only if you have millions, you may survive here. You need to create a big hype across the crypto industry for ensuring the survival of your coin at the least. Overall, as of now, you do not need an innovation for a new coin but only strong promotion. A copycat also will survive and get you profits if you have strong backup.

Re: People still mine litecoin?

on 10/07/2025, 04:11:11 UTC
As long as a coin is listed on exchange and I am sure there would be a miner for it and about the profitability, it is just a fluctuating one like when I last checked price of litecoin in terms of BTC, it peaked up to 0.0011 BTC but right now trading around 0.0008 BTC. And in dollar values it is around 90 USD. So, miners will mine and hold some portions after covering their mandatory expenses to see some profits.

Litecoin is currently ranked 21 in coinmarketcap which means I guess it will survive for few more years and I remember somewhere I read like Elon type of whale may adapt litecoin and pump like he did the same with dogecoin. I agree with that because such whales need a coin to manipulate and profit and they will not mind it is doge or lite.

Real Madrid isn't really ready for PSG at the moment, but we need to wait and see how the missing players will impact the game. I still put PSG ahead, but I also understand people who put Real Madrid ahead as well. This is one of those games where it would make sense if you could see both of them equal.

Normally Real was looked a lot better before, but after what PSG did all season long, we have to consider this to be something that would make more sense and it looks like it would not be a bad one at all. I am sure that we are going to end up with a lot better results. We should focus on how to get the best out of the situation we can. I get it, people want to bet on the chance that would get them better return, but on this case we are seeing what we can consider as equal, so not much difference.

Al Nassr did give an extraordinary contract to Cristiano Ronaldo, in this case no one can imagine that at his age which is no longer prime, Ronaldo can get such a big offer, it is truly extraordinary.

The SPL is indeed a very crazy league, they do not hesitate to make high offers for players who they think are good and worthy of being drawn to play for the club, one of which is Neymar and Benzema, both top players in their time.

It does not rule out the possibility of Messi accepting a contract from Al Ahli, of course Messi will definitely get a big offer, besides all that, currently the Saudi League is consistently building its football, it is likely that more and more top European players will be interested in playing in the Saudi League, very likely.
Yes, the Saudi Arabian league teams are willing to pay top European players high fees. I think this is an extraordinary move. It truly reflects their desire to advance their football league. By bringing in top players from Europe, they will certainly achieve results much faster than starting without doing so. Therefore, we should commend the actions taken by the Saudi Arabian league teams. Basically, not all football leagues in the world dare to take actions like Saudi Arabia's.

Even other wealthy countries like Qatar are reluctant to take actions like the Saudi Arabian league. Even though Qatar is no less wealthy than Saudi Arabia, they might think twice about doing such a thing. Essentially, the actions taken by the Saudi Arabian league teams are very risky. The risk is that after spending large sums of money to pay top European players, the results will not be long-term. Because, essentially, if players like Ronaldo, brought into the Saudi Arabian league, retire, the league's popularity could likely decline again. But the point is, the Saudi Arabian league seems prepared to face all of that.
It is nothing more than just using money to increase not only tourism, but also the level they stand. Saudi Arabic teams, mostly, are either owned by the king himself, or at least people around him, so it is not like you or I can go and buy a team there, most of the time that doesn't happen.

It means, oil is paying for all of these players and they have way too much oil, and I mean like they can literally cover the need of whole world if they desired, surely their oil fields would dry up quicker in that situation, but they have that much oil. Not many nations can say that. And for a nation that small, what are they going to do with all that money? Football seemed like a good thing, it is entertaining and fun, so if you have money, why not use it for something fun?

At this point Gyokeres deal has been talked as "when and not how", because everything is basically settled and the only thing left is just time. Sporting is forced, Gyokeres wants to go to Arsenal so much that he is willing to literally get paid less, just so his salary could go towards paying sporting instead.

When a player wants to leave that much, no team could hold that player. Arsenal is lucky, they may had to deal with convincing Gyokeres too, but seems like he won't be needed to be convinced, he wants to go there. Arsenal just needs to hope that he doesn't turn out to be bad, because there is a question mark on this player, since we have seen him do badly at England before, so it is not going to be that difficult at all.

Well Nasdaq started the year at 19280, at 20410, so not really "that much" of an increase, it was already at 20k, but had a huge crash (thanks to trump and tariff war stuff in between) to 15k and now it's 20k. So if you think 19k to 20k is big, look at how we moved from 20k to 15k to 20k in like a month or two, market is volatile, so this small increase is nothing. SP500 was also about 5900 and became 6200, once again very small increase.

Market is healthy in the sense that if Trump doesn't touch it and doesn't do anything bad, then we are not going to end up with any trouble at all. But we just need to make sure that we are seeing how it could move differently. If we can do it, and can stop Trump from making stupid moves, then yeah we can see it grow more.
