Sports / Messi Denies Chances Of Next World Cup And The Importance Of The Ballon D'or by ojehmario1969(m): 3:40pm On Jun 13, 2023
Lionel Messi arrived in Beijing, China by private jet on Saturday and was greeted by hundreds of jubilant fans, with his World-Cup-winning Argentina set to face australia in a friendly next week.

Lionel Messi is interviewed by Chinese media on Chinese stream platform to talk about the World Cup, the Ballon d'Or and Pep Guardiola. “Ballon d’Or? At this point in my career, if it comes, it's good, and if it doesn't, nothing happens. “Does Ballon d’Or matters to me? No, at this stage in my life, it is no longer important to me. I’ve always said, the individual prizes are not what matters to me, but the collective ones are the most important to me. The most important prize at the moment is the World Cup. This is the greatest prize for me.”

“As I said earlier, I don't think I will participate in the next World Cup. I haven't changed my mind about that. I'd like to be there to watch it, but I'm not going to participate.After I achieved the World Cup that I was missing, I am satisfied and grateful for the career I have made, and this is what is most important to me.”


Is Messi still in touch with Pep?
Yes, and he deserved to win the Champions League. He is the best coach in the world.” Messi replied.”

Chinese fans give Lionel Messi rockstar welcome
Several hundred others waited outside his hotel, not far from the banks of the Liangma River, popular with Beijingers for strolls. This is Messi’s seventh trip to China, the previous time being in 2017.
World champions Argentina will play a friendly against australia on June 15 at Beijing’s newly renovated 68,000-seat Workers’ Stadium.

Sports / On Tenterhooks For Messi: Inter Miami Overtake Al Hilal And Barcelona by plethora007: 2:42pm On Jun 07, 2023
Striker Leo Messi has not yet given an answer about his future. The player is waiting to receive an offer from Barcelona, but so far, the proposal has not arrived.

The Financial Fair Play has prevented Barca from making an offer to the Argentine. A situation that Inter Miami and Al Hilal have taken advantage of to approach the World Cup winner.

According to 'Mundo Deportivo', the American side have moved up a gear in the last few hours and could be the one to land the player. Inter Miami would be the team most likely to convince Messi.

Meanwhile, Al Hilal are not losing faith. After the departure of Karim Benzema to Al Ittihad, in Saudi Arabia they want Messi to be the next star to land in this competition where Ronaldo is already playing. The Saudi team's plan is to announce his signing once Messi returns from the call-up with the 'Albiceleste', after the matches against australia and Indonesia.

Last but not least, Barcelona, who dream of being able to make Messi the offer that both parties, the club and the player, want so much. It is waiting for an 'o.k.' from La Liga to be able to transmit it to him. Time is what the club is trying to gain, although it seems difficult.

The Catalan newspaper claims that Messi does not want to drag out his decision too long. Inter Miami and Al Hilal have already sent him their proposals and that could play against the Catalan giants. Time is passing and, according to the latest information, the future of the '10' could be in the United States.

Sports / Ange Postecoglou The Single-minded Australian. by baboyo: 2:29pm On Jun 07, 2023
Ange Postecoglou led Celtic to a domestic treble this season; the former australia boss secured a league and cup double in his first season in charge; he was appointed at Celtic in 2021 after leaving J-League club Yokohama F Marinos"Let’s not beat about the bush, I was a joke when I was appointed."

The words of Ange Postecoglou - after leading Celtic to a domestic treble in his final game - may seem blunt but rang true following two seasons in Scotland.Few knew who the Australian was when he arrived in Glasgow from Yokohama F Marinos in June 2021, but that unknown quantity became idolised after proving first impressions do not always count.He kicked off his Celtic reign with defeat at Hearts but, after reclaiming the Scottish Premiership title from Rangers at the first attempt, he then became just the fifth manager in the club's history to become part of the treble-wining elite.

Once the Celtic fans come to terms with his departure they will remember the impact he made at Parkhead, while the Tottenham supporters anticipate what he will bring to north London.They appear to be split on the selection with some questioning his pedigree, but that will not faze the single-minded 57-year-old.



So what do Spurs fans need to know about their prospective new boss?Postecoglou tapped into his knowledge of transfer markets that Celtic had rarely explored before, with 29 players joining him at Celtic Park.

He added six Japanese players and Kyogo Furuhashi is arguably the best signing of the Postecoglou era.

The striker joined from Vissel Kobe in July 2021 for around £4.5m with his value soaring with every goal he scored.

Furuhashi instantly settled into life in Scotland, netting 20 goals in 33 appearances during his first season, which included a lengthy spell out injured.

He ended this season as the Scottish Premiership's top goalscorer with 27 goals, 34 in all competitions, and won the PFA, Scottish Premiership and Scottish Football Writer's Association Player of the Year awards.

Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda followed Kyogo from Japan in December 2021 with both quickly establishing themselves as key members of the Celtic squad.

Maeda scored on his debut while Hatate's impressive performances this season saw him shortlisted for PFA Player of Year.

Winger Jota and ex-Spurs defender Cameron Carter-Vickers joined the Postecoglou era on loan and such was their impact they agreed permanent deals last summer.Celtic had struggled to find a reliable goalkeeper but a few eyebrows were still raised when goalkeeper Joe Hart joined from Tottenham in the summer of 2021.

Many thought the former Manchester City stopper was past his best but he has rarely missed a game, playing a key part in all five trophies secured over the last two seasons.

Postecoglou led South Melbourne to two titles as manager in his early 30s and then spent seven years coaching australia's youth teams.

He burst back on to the domestic scene, leading Brisbane Roar from finishing bottom of the A-League to consecutive Grand Final victories in 2011 and 2012, with the help of a record 36-game unbeaten run.

He took charge of australia at the 2014 World Cup, won the Asian Cup the following year and led his country to 2018 World Cup qualification before taking charge of Yokohama F Marinos, guiding them to their first J-League title in 15 years in 2019.He won five out of six domestic trophies during his two years in charge of Celtic, including a treble in what appears to have been his final campaign.

European football was the missing piece of the jigsaw. However, Celtic generally performed well in the Champions League this past season - against Real Madrid, RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk - while squandering chances that should have got them more than two points on their return to the elite stage.

Postecoglou addressed the fact there was a mixed response to his appointment as Celtic manager and was also unfazed by the fact a deal for Eddie Howe had fallen through.

"You're assuming I was second choice, I might have been fifth choice, you never know," he said at his unveiling. "It doesn't really bother me. What's important is that I have been given the responsibility and opportunity."

He also dismissed suggestions he was making a "jump" in standard. "I have coached at a World Cup, I have coached against some of the best teams in the world," he said.

He will not be concerned by the reaction to his Tottenham appointment given his total focus and belief in his process.

Postecoglou has matched success with an attacking style and prides himself on building teams that get people talking and excite the fans.

Celtic scored a post-war club record 114 league goals this past season. His goalkeeper will need to pass the ball out, his centre-backs get on the front foot and are aggressive, while he employs inverted full-backs.His team played with two attacking central midfielders and two wingers who have to get in front of goal when balls come in from the other flank, while the centre-forward can expect plenty of chances.

His mantra is "we never stop" and even the Celtic ball attendants are in tune with his demand to keep the game moving.

Postecoglou has spoken of his love of a challenge and building something special from scratch.

"Just about every job I have had has been an extensive rebuild," he once said. "Usually you come in when people are needing change. Secondly, the way I get my teams to play is challenging, and requires a major shift, usually both in playing staff and the way we work."

He exerted control over a number of areas of the football department at Celtic and oversaw a massive rebuild while winning the title against a Rangers side who finished 25 points ahead the previous season and reached a European final in his first Scottish campaign.He quickly won respect from Celtic players and fostered a culture of togetherness but also takes a step back from them and lets the dressing room run itself on match days. australia international Ryan McGowan remarked how he sat next to Postecoglou on a long-haul flight in total silence as his manager does not want to be swayed by personal relationships when making decisions.Celtic fans bought into their manager's style of play, how he represented the club and stood up for it in the media, although he very rarely talked about referee decisions.

He also understood how important the club is to people's lives and used that as a motivation.

They gave him total backing in return, although success is obviously paramount to that.

The Australian, who emigrated from Greece at the age of four, won two titles as a South Melbourne player, where he worked under Real Madrid great Ferenc Puskas, and won four australia caps before injury forced him to move into coaching at a young age.

Postecoglou has a footballing philosophy of attacking, entertaining and relentless football and it was a style he never waivered from, even in the Champions League.

He favours a 4-3-3 formation that makes them relentless in the press with the manager often repeating his mantra of "we never stop."The use of inverted full-backs allowed Celtic both to build from the back and put a stranglehold on their opposition, piling men forward to win the ball back high up the pitch.

He is a great communicator and has the ability to get others to buy into his vision of how the game should be played, which is clear from his turnaround at Celtic.

Postecoglou will never become friends with his players, he chooses when to motivate and encourage or, at times, criticise them.

From the squad to the fans and even the media, you know exactly where you stand with Ange Postecoglou.

Sports / Tyson Fury Sends Contract To Anthony Joshua For Mega Fight - Pulse Sports by DonBabaNG: 12:11pm On May 27, 2023
Tyson Fury wants Anthony Joshua to cancel his fight against Deontay Wilder and take on him.

In a move that would significantly scuttle Saudi Arabia's heavyweight intentions, Tyson Fury claimed to have handed British professional boxer of Nigerian descent Anthony Joshua a contract for a bout in September.

The statement from one British heavyweight to another following their broken negotiations last year will give boxing fans a bitter feeling of deja vu.

The current WBC Champion, Fury, has been searching for a challenger recently, and despite discussions of a spectacular fight in australia, he has changed his mind about "AJ."

On social media, he informed his followers that a contract had been sent.

Fury on contract to Joshua
"A few days ago i sent a draft contract to @anthonyjoshua for a fight in September @wembleystadium.

"Its a fight that everyone wants to see, including myself. Come of AJ lets give the world 🌎 what they want to see.

"This time, im not gonna make a million vids & keep putting pressure on. the ball is now on your side.. 👍😘 @frank_warren_official @eddiehearn @btsportboxing @daznboxing @toprank @espn @skysports."

Although the assurance of no deadlines or endless call out videos is appreciated, it does not change the reality that both men must consider a suggested mega-money proposal from the Middle East.

Recently, the topic of conversation in the heavyweight division has been the staging of both Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder and an undisputed fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.

Those preparations would be at least one man short if the two Brits engaged in a pre-match fight at home.

Britain’s world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says he is seriously exploring the possibility of a fight in australia.

The unbeaten Fury is currently in the country to support close friend and former WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker in his bout against Faiga Opelu on Wednesday.

“I’m looking to do a fight here so I will be going up and down the country looking at different stadiums over the next few days,” Fury told Fox Sports television.

FIFA U20 World Cup schedule 2023 including all group fixtures, match times, and results from Argentina© Provided by Sporting News
The most prestigious youth national-team tournament in men's football is taking place as the 2023 FIFA Under-20 World Cup is held in Argentina between May 20 and June 11.
The biennial tournament was last held in 2019 since the 2021 edition was cancelled due to scheduling and logistical challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 2023 U20 World Cup was originally set to be held in Indonesia, but that nation's refusal to welcome Israel's squad — the countries don't have diplomatic relations — saw FIFA strip the tournament from Indonesia in March 2023 and instead move it to Argentina.
France, Brazil, Italy, and England are among the favorites to win the 2023 edition. Argentina, who had originally failed to qualify from South America, were slotted in as the new host nation and will surely contend on home soil.
Defending champions Ukraine failed to qualify for the 2023 tournament, falling at the second stage of European qualifying on a cards tiebreaker.

The participating nations hail from Asia (4 spots), Africa (4), North America (4), South America (4), Oceania (2), and Europe (5) with Argentina participating as the host nation.
The 24 countries were divided into groups A-F via a group-stage draw held on April 21, 2023. The top two teams in each group, along with the four best third-place finishers will advance to the Round of 16.
• Group Stage: May 20-28
• Round of 16: May 30-June 1
• Quarterfinals: June 3-4
• Semifinals: June 8
• 3rd Place: June 11
• Final: June 11
The 52 total matches will take place in four cities in Argentina: Mendoza, La Plata, Santiago del Estero, and San Juan. The final will take place in La Plata's Estadio Unico on Sunday, June 11.
Each of the 52 matches will kick off in one of three local time slots and here's how those translate across different regions of the world.

Sports / 2024 Will Be My last season: Nadal Withdraws From 2023 French Open due to injury by fergie001: 4:02pm On May 18, 2023
Rafael Nadal will miss the French Open for the first time in 19 years after a hip injury ruled out the record 14-time men's singles champion.

The 36-year-old Spaniard, who has won 22 major men's titles, also said he plans to retire after the 2024 season.

"I didn't make the decision, my body made the decision. To play Roland Garros is impossible," he said.

"Next year will be my last year on tour - that is my idea. If I keep going now I won't be able to make that happen."

Nadal, who turns 37 next month, has not played since sustaining the problem at the Australian Open in January.

Nadal has been practising in recent weeks, but not been fit enough to play a tournament in the run-up to Roland Garros.

The French Open starts in Paris on 28 May and runs until 11 June.

"I was working as much as possible every single day for the past four months and they have been difficult because I've not been able to find a solution to the problem I had in australia," said the former world number one.

"I'm not in the position to be able to compete to be at the standard to play Roland Garros.

"I'm not a guy who will just be at Roland Garros."


Nadal said he needs to stop playing for the foreseeable future in order to make a full recovery and return healthy to complete a farewell season in 2024.

"I will stop for a while, maybe one month, maybe three months or maybe four months. I do not like to predict the future," he said.

"I will do the right thing for my body and personal happiness. My motivation is to enjoy the season and say goodbye to all the tournaments I have enjoyed in my career.

"If I keep going now I will not be able to make that happen."


Nadal injured his hip during a second-round defeat by American Mackenzie MacDonald in Melbourne and initially expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks.

An MRI scan two days after the match showed a tear in his left psoas muscle.

Last month, Nadal announced he would not be able to play the Madrid Open because the injury "still hadn't healed" and was planning a different course of treatment.

Then he withdrew from this month's Italian Open - another important clay-court tournament before the French Open - saying he had still not been able to train at a high level.

On Thursday, he announced he will miss Roland Garros for the first time in his career in a news conference at his academy in Mallorca.

Nadal won the French Open title in his first appearance there in 2005, going on to triumph another 13 times in the following 17 years.

No player has won as many singles titles at one major tournament as the Mallorcan left-hander has at Roland Garros.

Known as the 'King of Clay', Nadal has won 112 of his 115 matches at the French Open.

Despite Rafael Nadal’s remarkable record of clinching 14 French Open titles, his current +300 odds reflect his recent injury suffered during the Australian Open, where he lost to MacKenzie McDonald in straight sets.

Consequently, Novak Djokovic is the current frontrunner, having recently emerged victorious at the Australian Open and clinched the French Open title twice before, most recently in 2021, following an exhilarating five-set triumph over Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Carlos Alcaraz is another player to watch out for, having already secured Grand Slam success at the tender age of 19, despite missing the Australian Open due to injury.

Experts predict that the clay surface may play to his strengths, exemplified by his remarkable run to the quarterfinals in the previous year’s tournament. With a host of riveting matches in store, the French Open is a must-watch event for avid tennis fans.

Sports / Novak Djokovic Knocks Britain's Cameron Norrie Out Of Italian Open by baboyo: 2:22pm On May 16, 2023
Novak Djokovic, after beating Cameron Norrie in straight sets: "It was an early start today, strange conditions. I finished my warm-up 10 minutes before I went on court so I was rushing a bit with everything. I'm just glad to overcome today's challenge in straight sets and move on"

Novak Djokovic has knocked Great Britain's Cameron Norrie out of the Italian Open at the last-16 stage, winning in straight sets 6-3 6-4.

Djokovic will face the winner of australia's Alexei Popyrin against Denmark's Holger Rune in the quarter-finals in Rome.The world No 1 was simply too solid for Norrie in a victory that maintains his record of never having lost before the quarter-finals in Rome.

The main talking point came in the fourth game of the second set as Norrie sought to retrieve an early break.

Djokovic turned his back on the play after presenting his opponent with an easy smash, only for Norrie, seemingly unintentionally, to drill the ball into the Serbian's legs.

Djokovic gave the British No 1 an extremely frosty stare and there was an edge to the contest thereafter, but Norrie never really threatened to land more than a glancing blow.

How much does it cost to waterproof a bathroom?
How much does bathroom waterproofing cost? If you’re wondering how much to waterproof a bathroom, the average cost is between $500 and $1,000, but it can be as much as $4,000. The overall price will depend on the size of the bathroom, scope of the project and materials used.

Bathrooms are one of the most frequently used domestic wet areas in any home. Bathroom waterproofing is necessary to ensure the structure of your property remains uncompromised.

Without proper bathroom waterproofing, your property will be exposed to damp, water leaks and condensation. These issues can cause significant structural damage to your home. Inadequate bathroom waterproofing can also create mould issues and expose tiling to water damage, causing swelling and cracking.

Sports / The Rules, Laws, And Regulations Of Online Sports Betting In 2023 by Ashleyokeneye(f): 1:55pm On Apr 17, 2023
Online sports betting has been around since the mid-1990s and has grown significantly since then. In 2023, several important rules, laws, and regulations are in place to ensure safe and legal online betting.

How legal is online sports betting
Every online sportsbook operator knows that the international legal landscape is very complex and prone to changes. One always has to be on the lookout for news and developments in the industry. However, there are few havens of stability across the globe.
Online sportsbooks are legal and regulated in many countries, like the UK, australia, Denmark, France, the Philippines, Nigeria, Ghana, and Colombia. The nature and extent of allowed activities vary, with some countries permitting only specific types of bets to be made or only allowing betting on particular sports or events. In some countries, online offerings are tied to a land-based license, and in others, they are regulated separately or not at all.

Africa, home to 1.3 billion people, is a region of enormous interest for sportsbook operators.
Of the continent’s 54 countries, only seven completely forbid all gambling activities (Mauritania, Guinea-Bissau, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Burundi, and Eritrea). Some countries, like Tunisia and Egypt, prohibit gambling but make exceptions for tourists and foreigners. Others make an exception specifically for sports betting — for example, in Nigeria, sports betting is considered a game of skill, not chance, making it legal.
South Africa is the biggest market on the continent, despite numerous legal restrictions. Online gambling, in general, is prohibited, but bookmakers licensed at a provincial level can accept bets online. Numerous provinces have their own rules and regulations, so it is not an easy market to enter.

Nigeria, Africa’s second-biggest market, faces similar issues. Regulations at both the federal and provincial levels often clash and overlap, creating a regulatory landscape that’s difficult to navigate and introducing a risk of being exposed to double taxation. In both countries, there are talks of introducing a unified gambling law, which would finally eliminate all of these complications.
