I don't think France will be the strongest contender for the Qatat World Cup title after today's victory. France will likely meet England in the quarter-finals if England win against Senegal in a moment. Apart from that Spain and Portugal in my opinion will also qualify from this stage so I think France still has to fight to beat strong opponents to reach the final.

If the scenario I think is correct, then I think France will meet Portugal or Spain in the semi-finals if France manages to win in the quarter-finals. So it takes a lot of work to get to the final, and it's never going to be easy.

I admit Newcastle have been strong so far, but one thing - they haven't been able to perform consistently against a top Premier League team. It's still very possible for Newcastle to loss points in big matches, so I haven't seen them like a very promising team in big matches like against Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham or Manchester City.

So far, Newcastle have played well, especially since they made it into the top 4 of the Premier League standings in the first half of this season. I don't believe they will be able to continue this positive trend in the second half of the season, so it is very likely that they will drop out of the top 4.

The league is still quite long, there are still many challenges and each team still has the opportunity to have a better place in the standings. I admit that Napoli have been difficult to beat so far, but it is always possible for them to drop points when the opposing team plays well compared to them. Nothing is impossible, it's even possible for Milan to take first place from Napoli if Milan performs well for the rest of the season.

Napoli also still has the Champions League, Milan too and it is likely that Napoli's concentration in Serie A will be a little split because they will focus on the Champions League too.

Neymar will recover soon, at least that is the hope that Brazilian fans will receive at this world cup.
It's a shame that Neymar had to undergo treatment after he picked up an injury quite quickly in Brazil's first match in the group stages. It was certainly not something to be expected, but this had certainly caused him great suffering.

Brazil will face South Korea in the round of 16, it will be a difficult game but I think Brazil will be able to handle it without Neymar. I hope that Neymar has the opportunity to play again during this world cup, which means I hope his injury will heal soon.

Not anymore, Newcastle are a big team right now although they haven't proved anything in many seasons. Newcastle have been impressive during this season, no one will underestimate them in the league as they have really improved a lot. So if you think Newcastle is a small team then I hope you are willing to watch some of their match later.

It took several seasons for Newcastle to be able to get several star players to strengthen their team. They could start by recruiting old, experienced stars for a short period and keep at it until the team gets stronger. But for now, it is difficult for Newcastle to convince players of the class of Mbappe to play with them even though they are highly paid.

Besides Portugal, I hope Uruguay will be the second team to qualify for the round of 16 compared to South Korea and Ghana. Uruguay must win regardless of the result of the Portugal vs South Korea match, but if Portugal and Uruguay both win then Uruguay has the right to qualify for the round of 16.

It would be a shame if Uruguay failed to qualify for the last 16, but their chances are very low as Ghana who are currently ahead on points will desperately defend their lead to qualify as well. I'm still looking forward to this fight, I hope it's really interesting.

Bruno is an important player in the Manchester United squad, so it is only fitting that Bruno not be released to another team in the middle of this season. After all, Bruno doesn't want to move from Manchester United so anyone interested in getting his services will have to be patient or maybe find a replacement in the January transfer market.

I believe Manchester United have no intention of letting Bruno go to any team at this time, so Real Madrid's attempts to get him will be hindered by the wishes of the player and Manchester United. On the other hand Manchester United may be bringing in some new players midway through the season, I think Ten Hag will be very interested in some more Dutch players this time around.

The current market conditions are chaotic, there are a lot of trust issues, FUD is all over the place, and the lack of support from big investors makes it hard for prices to go up. People tend to stick around and not invest right away even when they realize that $16K or $17K is still low. The bottom may still be reached for the rest of the year, but I don't really expect it.

It doesn't matter what other people say about bitcoin, you should have enough knowledge to make yourself believe in bitcoin. You have to be smart enough to debunk the assumptions people out there have if they say bitcoin is a ponzi scheme, but if you don't want the hassle then just ignore it and continue your journey with bitcoin.

Bitcoin are simple, no one will force them to believe in bitcoin, but if they want, they can change their mindset at any time and buy bitcoin for any reason. You also need to know that bitcoin is not for those who don't like and hate it, but bitcoin is only for those of us who believe in financial freedom. And due to its fluctuating value each trader and investor will profit based on their individual portion.

I don't know if small adoption like OP did will mean big for bitcoin and its services or not but for his small business and adoption efforts I hope he can turn a profit instead of hype.

But I really agree with the adoption made by OP by accepting bitcoin as means of payment for his services, but he must still pay attention to the convenience of transactions for his customers so that both parties don't have to wait too long for network confirmation when payment transactions are broadcast.

Maybe OP still secretly adopted it, so the sticker can't be put on the wall yet, or something, Who knows.

They even noticed it before the FTX crash, but they believed in the exchange so much they didn't mind it. However, as far as FTX is concerned, there are many negative issues that may make them uncomfortable keeping their assets on the exchange so they choose to withdraw their assets to their respective wallets.

But as @mk4 says, these assets will be very easy to transfer back to the exchange when their holders start to trust the exchange again as before. For a while, the situation of centralized exchanges really lost a lot of holders as most of them withdrew their assets, but it will return to normal with time.

Argentina are one of the teams touted as capable of reaching the final at the Qatar World Cup.
Currently Argentina have progressed from the group stage, and now we are all just waiting to see what they can do in the round of 16. I hope Argentina win against Australia in the round of 16, which will take them to the quarter-finals. I think Argentina have a big chance to win and they are favourites.

Before discussing the finals, we need to enjoy the stages that these teams will go through because each match will definitely be very tight starting from the round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals.

In a fairly narrow sense, freedom means that you are free to do whatever you want, no matter what anyone says. But when you start to realize that not your keys aren't your bitcoin, then your financial freedom is actually limited.

Bitcoin gives you financial freedom where you can completely control your money right in your own hands, just like you have your own bank. But people can choose their own path because their money is their responsibility. The best for others is not necessarily the best for us, and vice versa.

Haaland has been backed by other quality players at Manchester City, so he's really got some good serve there. There is no doubt about his quality as a striker, and Manchester City are lucky to have him this season. However, Manchester City cannot continue to rely on Haaland to score goals because other teams might guard him tighter so they cannot score goals like the match against Liverpool.

For me Manchester City were lucky against Leipzig because basically Leipzig met Haaland a lot during his time at Dortmund, so maybe he can help a lot later. But let's see if Manchester City's expectations for this season really come true with their arrival in the final or maybe they fall short again.

It may not matter to people like me and you, but some other people will find it important regardless of their reasons. After all, satoshi remains anonymous today even though many people are eager to find out his identity in various ways. Satoshi will remain anonymous, and always will be.

I would prefer if the satoshi never got exposed I would believe if it did there would be a lot of drama being made just to go against bitcoin especially from the government. Bitcoin remains strong without satoshi.

Lose, draw or win, Brazil will still qualify for the round of 16. I don't know if Brazil will draw or maybe allow themselves to lose just to let Switzerland qualify but for me it is a risky game to bet on. Even though Switzerland hopes to win, I think Brazil still doesn't want to lose and be humiliated in front of the fans who come. Brazil must play well as usual without being influenced by the other team's desire to qualify, meaning that Brazil must win and must not underestimate its opponent.

For today's match, Croatia vs Belgium is the most interesting and decisive match for both of them. Morocco, which has managed to collect 4 points, will most likely win over Canada, while if that happens, Belgium will certainly fail to qualify for the round of 16 despite winning from Croatia. The situation will be very difficult for Belgium at this time because Morocco will certainly not allow Canada to gain any points in this match. The last 16 is in sight, so it will be very interesting to see how they fare.

True, it is still early enough to say that Manchester City can get there considering there are many challenges they have to overcome. The round of 16 against Leipzig may not be as easy as we thought it would be, but a very adequate squad of Manchester City should hopefully progress from this stage as we hoped and reach the quarter-finals.

Currently only Real Madrid has a very high percentage of final wins compared to other teams in the Champions League. If this season Manchester City can reach the final, then I think they have to learn from their past experiences.

But like I said, it's too early to talk about the final because there are a few more stages for these teams to go through including Manchester City. There are at least 6 matches that will await them to reach the final, meanwhile Manchester City is one of the most likely candidates.

I haven't thought about whether Manchester City this season deserves to be in the final or not, but it seems like Manchester City's focus right now is to win matches in every rounde. This is much more important than thinking about the final even though it is totally expected.

Pep Guardiola has learned a lot from defeats, in finals or other big games. The players have got to learn a lot about that already, so I think Manchester City's play and chances this season should be very good.

Poland lost, but this loss was pleasant compared to Mexico's victory. I mean Poland lost to qualify, while Mexico won to fail, these are two very different conditions. So in the end let's say congratulations to Argentina and Poland who both made it through to the last 16, and it looks like these two teams were predicted to qualify before the World Cup started and they did.

Tomorrow's match will be no less exciting, Belgium and Germany are expected to qualify while other teams have a point advantage over them. So it will be very exciting to look forward to whether these two teams will both qualify in the end or have to pick up their suitcases first.

Yes, now Argentina is 2-0 ahead of Poland. Unfortunately Messi has failed to score so far despite having several good chances. Szczęsny played very well and saved a lot in the match, he was the last wall preventing Poland from conceding many goals today. I like Argentina's game in this match, they pressed from the start and at this moment I think 99% Argentina will win.
