Are France any good these days? When I was a kid (I’m in my early 30’s) they were a good team. My Dad watches a lot of Rugby, I’m not a fan myself but I always watch good sport when it’s on TV.
No they are terrible. I blame it on their national championship where there is a lot of money and into which they bring a lot of foreign players which means the young French players don't have much playing time and can't develop into good payers. The National team is a mess, there are about 80 players that can play in it, noone knows who the best player is at each position, they're interchangeable. If you take any top team like England, Ireland or the All Blacks, there is a clear hierarchy between players. In France, we have no idea who is better than who so we make experiments almost every game and in the end we don't have any team chemistry. The potential is there though.

Round 2 starting tomorrow with Ireland v Scotland and finishing on Sunday with England v France. Two big games and two must win games for both Ireland and France.
I see Ireland bouncing back after last weeks defeat and I cannot see France beating England based on Frances Jekyll and Hyde performance last week.
Agreed, no way can France win this one. I hear Itoje is out of the game but England has enough good players to replace him.

It looks like Nikola Mirotic is leaving the Pelicans too and joining the Bucks. He has scored 16.7 ppg in 32 games this season. NO gets Jason Smith, Stanley Johnson and four 2nd round drafts picks.

But even if we take DICE (a DApp on EOS) with around 450,000 transactions per day and compare this to the same numbers, the usage still appears virtually invisible when compared to Internet apps like Telegram or Whatsapp. "

BELGIUM fast food QUICK
I didn't know Quick made veggie burgers in Belgium. They don't in France. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) I'm vegetarian and whenever I go to the US I treat myself with Burger King's veggie burgers, they're delicious. It's a shame we don't have that in France. McD tried it but they were awful, tasted bad and full of fat (I believe there was pesto sauce in it).

It's been a while since we haven't talked about ETFs. SEC Commissioner: Bitcoin ETF Will Eventually Be Approvedhttps://coindoo.com/sec-commissioner-bitcoin-etf-will-eventually-be-approved/"In a leaked interview with Congressional Quarterly Inc. on Feb. 07, 2019, one of the SEC commissioners Robert J. Jackson said that Bitcoin ETF would finally be approved. So it is no longer a matter of whether SEC will adopt a BTC ETF. It is now a matter of when. The draft copies of the interview were reportedly shared on social media by Congressional Quarterly. The company is scheduled to publish the full interview on 11th of February. ... Regarding the Winklevoss’ ETF proposal, Jackson said: “Would I have wanted them to be able to buy that ETF? Hell no hell no.

How will this move happen now if the season is not yet over and the January transfer window is closed? Is there a special exception for non-european teams buying players outside the transfer window? By the way calciomercato is not the most reliable news for Football in Italy, most of them are even recycled from other news sources that are also unreliable. Transfer window is still open in China. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Lyon-Barca i am expecting very good football .Lyon won his last game against PSG it will be not enough for Barca but we will see very good games
Lyon is a young team with lots of potential. They proved it against PSG this weekend and most of all against City in the first round. Barca is probably a bit too big for them but maybe they'll do what Monaco did two years ago. It can go either way I think, maybe they'll give Barca a good challenge or maybe they'll explode completely... because it's Barca after all.
