This is getting interesting: who's next in line?

If guys refuse, what can be expected from girls? Although I know football fans among my girlfriends, this love is clearly not mine. Therefore, I really want to give a chance to someone who really understands all the intricacies of football, and also dreams of getting to this very interesting match, which is associated with a great journey.
I wasn't nominated for any of the awards. Still I would love the opportunity to watch the game live if you will. And icopress agrees

Salute to icopress, GazetaBitcoin, the sponsors and of course the community. We don't do a lot of these awards, users don't always receive accolades for their efforts except for merits lol (could explain the self-praise threads). You guys made it something special. It really felt like a community award. I'm so glad I was a part of this year bitcointalk awards. Congratulations to the winners.
I joined the forum exactly 4 years, this date becomes very happy for me.
Let the forum continue to be as friendly and clean.
Huge thanks to everyone.

Manchester City and Liverpool will face equally easy opponents this week. So their position or point acquisition will not change at least for this week. And that will change at their meeting in the following week and even then if the match does not end in sharing points (draw).
I don't think they will drop points this week.

for now the performances of Manchester city and Liverpool are above average so everyone must be sure they will get full points.
I favor Manchester city more than Liverpool vs when they will face off next Sunday. however Manchester City have more quality players than Liverpool.
In encounters like that of Liverpool and Manchester city like this is not always easy because Liverpool are also a very strong side,and they always show class when they see big teams.The like of Mane Firminho and Salah are always there to ensure they get the win that is desired.
Therefore concluding that Mancity might will win in that their encounter will be wrong because I know what Liverpool are capable of doing when they see big teams.
The last premier league, Liverpool won could be argued to have been influenced by the outbreak of the COVID-19 that season hence they could run away with the title easily but since then they have struggled to do it. That been said, this season might be Liverpool best season under Klopp to grab the EPL title ; they have been having a consistent run of form and also having key officiating decisions to their favor too this season. Apart from the EPL, they also got a favorable draw in the UEFA champion's league;this will serve as a motivation to them plus they are just 1 point off Manchester City, all they need do is beat City and there after, continue with their form and the EPL title is theirs.

Bitcoin has gone widespread around the globe, it's impact has touched too many lives but I think if Bitcoin is the future then the children needs to be exposed to the future or at least given a chance to explore and gain knowledge about it.
According to Raphael Schon - Bitcoin has educated more people about money and personal finance than any school.
You're right. Before Bitcoin I didn't have any idea of the term "fiat". Because of my interest in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. If there we truly see Bitcoin as a currency and nor just an asset it isn't a bad idea to add it to school curriculum as a topic in economics or finance. I learnt a lot of crap in school I don't need today in the real word. I can't see the harm here

A kid successfully growing multiple Demo accounts should have enough experience about Bitcoin, funds and how to use em, although losses will occur just like other business but since they're not real funds, they should be competent enough to minimize losses here.
I don't think children should be burdened with the trading aspect of Bitcoin. A better approach would be to simply teach them about the basics and not go deep into the technical part of Bitcoin.

Advice: This is going straight to mostly Africans and African parents, they should push for financial literacy as much as they do for religion,this has lead to too many adults being poor, so it's okay to teach children about Bitcoin and money from kindergartens, this shouldn't be at home because government are big haters of this but at home.
We are lagging behind in so many aspects. I think we need to focus more on improving IT and technology.

I just hope that Nigeria behaves themselves in today's game against Ghana oh. They have this annoying habit of relaxing when they score a goal. Ghana will do anything to make sure they win both legs and if our naija guys like, make them come dey form ajebo for field. Well I'm expecting a suspenseful derby sha.
Ghana is not an easy opponent for Nigeria. Nigeria will have to give 100% in both games if they want to beat them. I would actually prefer both teams to qualify for the World Cup (there are much weaker teams in some of the other games), but we have to arrange with the system of qualification here...

A rival game is far beyond form and team quality. I saw clips of their training session yesterday it looked like a match. The stadium in Kumasi is one that the Ghanaians have made their slaughter ground. It's a huge task the super Eagles have in hand today. I am confident looking at the quality of players we have. There is great disparity in the quality of players between the two countries. The Super Eagles have more stars than the Ghanian team I

The much awaited fixture Ghana - Nigeria is tomorrow. This is a very tough fixture. Super Eagles are pretty much strong. Every other department seem sorted out. We need to control the midfield, Ndidi is going to be absent in tomorrow's fixture. We will have to find a way to manuever our way out of the jungle.

Forget those two. Both of them only care about their pocket not the welfare of anybody. The only business Jay Jay Okocha manage to bring for us is betting nothing again. Although Papilo has an academy of footballers in Imo State.
The way our ex-Super Eagles players are after money is very tiring. Should I say they didn't pay them well during their football time or did they misuse their opportunities?
We can agree they were both incredible on the football pitch. Their political views is different from their skill

Not recommended or outdated Wallets
These wallets are either not-recommended for some reason or outdated. You should not use them! Please note that here we only list wallets that were previously on the list, or were suggested to be included by others. This does not include ALL wallets that exist and are not recommended. Wallets that are strongly not recommended:
Copay, Bitpay, Blockchain.info, BTC.com — untrustworthy, misleading customers, high fees, lacking implementation.
Mycelium — iOS app has been abandoned. Mycelium team was involved in various unethical scandals, e.g. raising money from ICOs, partying with the collected money and more.
Multibit — This wallet is discontinued: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2293714.0.
Coinbase, Freewallet — Custodial wallets. Freewallet has also many scam accusations against it.
Ledger HW.1, Ledger Unplugged — Discontinued hardware wallets.
Bitfi - John McAffee's "unhackable" hardware wallet, named also as “the world’s first unhackable device”. Besides McAffee's notorious lack of ethics and besides the admitted vulnerabilities of this product, McAffee offered in 2018 a 100.000$ bounty (raised afterwards to 250.000$) to anyone able to hack the hardware wallet. One week later, a 15 years old teen cracked the wallet and launched Doom on it, but he never received a dime from McAffee.
Coinomi — Initially open source, then changed again to closed source. Had controversial situations in the past. More information can be found here.
Trust Wallet — Mislead users that it was open source (only iOS app was). Later both versions of the wallet became closed source. They have not provided a reasonable explanation for this. More information can be found here, and here.
Exodus — high fees (not customizable), security flaws, sync problems.]

Trust wallet isn't the best wallet to use. Trust wallet is closed source meaning the code is not available to the public, the developers can make changes in the wallet without the public knowing.  Educate yourself on [General] Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why?

Yep it's a double spend, the coins were diverted to another address I'm suspecting does not belong to the OP. Appears to be a scam attempt. I have been in a similar situation before. The scammer made two transactions, the first to OP which has invalidated because of the low fee and the other to this address bc1q7l347h9yp6heax5dsgr7llelnznhz4eyg7uvmp with a higher fee, the latter was successful. This is one of the reasons why it is important to always wait for at least 2 confirmations on the Blockchain before payment.

Sad news coming from the female football league clubs as there just lost one of the female Queen, sunshine queens just lost one of their goalkeeper Elizabeth Johnson,  one of the clubs goalkeepers, she was confirmed dead on the way to the hospital from the training ground.

sunshine Queen RIP

May her soul rest in peace. Such a sad moment for her family and the women football teams.
Gone too soon. I'm short of words


The consequences is not only for Finidi George and his coaching crew. There is also consequences for Wikki Tourists for beating up Enyimba FC players for sharing the points with them. I do not know when all these beating by away teams will stop. The league organisers need to do something and put heavy fines and penalty of either banishment or point deductions on this. Otherwise what Wikki Tourists FC will encounter in Aba will not be something pleasant. Already Enyimba fans have started threatening to beat up Wikki players when they come for the return leg in Aba next two weeks. It will be bloody if no sanction is imposed on Wikki Tourists before then.
I did not read it on the news. If this is true then it is a shame that the club and their fans do not share the spirit of sportsmanship. Their actions was uncalled for and will cause retaliation from other state clubs. Football as a sport isn't perfect anywhere in the world, I know for a fact that fans in international leagues sometimes make racist slurs at players. The club addresses the matter immediately, Wikki Tourists should do the needful and first make a formal apology to Eyimba fc

Look at what the English teams are doing. Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea are all in the champions league and at the same time are topping the English premier league. English clubs are showing a lot of promise in the Uefa champions league.



Yes and also, even though Spain or La Liga have three representatives including Madrid, Atletico and Villarreal but at this moment it seems representatives from England or the EPL promise better results. I don't care about Bayern Munich, which is still available in the quarter-finals, because I really believe it looks like the final will bring together teams from England again like the previous season where the final match was Chelsea v Manchester City. But for this season, these three EPL teams are looking very good and even, Chelsea who are having problems in fact Chelsea still looks fine and these three teams from EPL have a big chance to get to the final.
No doubt English teams have the upper hand in this season’s UEFA Champions League, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, who are the reigning Champions league winners are still in the competition. They are still competitive teams from other leagues still in the competition, the likes of Real Madrid from the Spanish la liga and Bayern Munich of the German Bundesliga who pose major threat to the chances of an English team winning it.

After the final results of last week, Barcelona have got much closer to Sevilla in the standings now. The point difference between them is only three points even though Barcelona still haven't played their missing game. And this gives the signals of Barcelona to get past them in the standings sooner or later. There is no way Sevilla are keeping their position against a this much perfect Barcelona in the remaining time period of the season. By the way, these two teams are going to face each other next time in the league in Camp Nou too. It's going to be really interesting.  Grin
.The current forms of both teams suggest Barcelona will overcome Sevilla sooner or later. With the incoming match between both teams, I guess the differences between both teams will easily be decided with time.
Sevilla seem to have lost it in recent games, they have continued to drop points as if no one is lurking around to overtake them. They do take consolation from the fact that they now have just the league to focus on, now that they have been kicked out of the Uefa Europa League. They can no focus solely on the league race.

My expectation from the Chelsea - Real Madrid draw is that Real Madrid can move Chelsea out of this tournament this time. They had a bad experience against Chelsea last season. I don't think that the history will repeat itself here. We are all seeing a much stronger Real Madrid in this season until this point. We all saw how they destroyed PSG despite being in a bad situation first. And I don't see the same Chelsea in this season. I don't feel like they can eliminate Real Madrid once again by this level of performance.
Real Madrid has been lost in El Classico Laliga. Will it also give influence to the mental of the players? Although maybe they purposely did not play hard because they want to save their power to play against Chelsea.
But exactly, bot Real Madrid and Chelsea are a big clubs, they may be drawn in the first leg, but something interesting and surprising may be also existed during the game and probably will be a surprising result of the game. At least, they must let all power to face each other in the field and to prove wihc one is better
I would like to see how Real Madrid would have destroyed Paris Saint-Germain if it hadn't been for Donnarumma's dude trick and the subsequent collapse of the entire game of the club from Paris Wink Also, a lot will depend on whether Benzema will participate in the match, because Real Madrid with Benzema and Real Madrid without Benzema are two big differences and the current El Classico showed all this with great clarity. Therefore, for me personally, the result of the match between Real Madrid and Chelsea is by no means obvious, despite the bright victory of Real Madrid in the match with Paris Saint-Germain, which until a certain time was also by no means obvious.
Real Madrid were really out of depth in the game against Paris Saint-Germain until Donnarumma’s mistake brought them right back in the game. Makes you wonder what would have been the fate of Real Madrid if that mistake never happened. This is me not taking anything away from Real Madrid, they are actually a fantastic side and would be a solid match for any team in the world right now. The bright season which Benzema is having collaborating with Vinicius best season in his professional career is something no team in the world savor coming against.

Me also saying at the end of the season arsenal will be damned, but look at how fast they're going.
They're unstoppable, they have a good chance of winning Chelsea and maintaining the top  four level, Manchester United will not end up in the top four, they're to Carried away.
Tottenham are also chasing Arsenal back to back
until the end of the season I see manchester united will finish in 6th position

tottenham's performance is much better than man utd so far so it's very small chance for man utd to be able to shift tottenham's position again, and also at this time man utd is still very unstable, hopefully they can get good defenders in the summer transfer market
Following Tottenham Hotspur side this season, it's quite easy to predict games they will win. It's almost as if they are in some sort of spell of having one great game and having a bad one next; so, it was quite easy for me to predict them winning against West Ham after losing shamefully to Manchester United. It was definitely a big win for Tottenham but certainly not a thrilling performance, big kudos to Son for scoring two goals but Conte has a lot of work to do.

Xavi has really transformed Barcelona for good compare to before. For sometime now the players have not been performing very well which brought the team to be too low. Barcelona players did very excellent in their performance against Real Madrid in yesterday game , the victory of Barcelona was a prove to good performance of Barcelona players.
The result of the El Clasico match yesterday was Barcelona biggest win in El Clasico since 2018. Xavi was the first person to be happiest after his team beat Real Madrid 0-4. In yesterday El Clasico match Barcelona was far superior to the host, Barcelona a beautiful game was able to produce 4 goals, Xavi and his men left the Santiago Bernabeu smiling because they managed to embarrass Real Madrid in a front of their own fans.
Xavi hard work During his time as Barcelona coach has paid off, Barcelona has returned to its original form. We will soon see Xavi carves gold ink with the trophy that will be presented to Barcelona during his time as a coach.

Between 2003-2018, the El Classico was a rivalry between the world's most famous teams. El Classico used to be football at the very highest level, best players in the world playing against each other. Imo there are no superstars to look up to in the El Classico anymore. Gone are the days of Ronaldinho, Ego, Ronaldo, Beckham, Zidane, Messi, Ozil, Iniesta, Owen and those big names one would want to see. What we have today isn't as grand as what it used to be. It's a nostalgia if what it used to be and less about what it is at this time.

Kano Pillars 3 - 1 Gombe United
Plateau United 2 - 0 Sunshine Stars
Remo Stars 3 - 0 Kwara United
Rivers United FC 4 - 1 Akwa United
Wikki Tourist 0 - 0 Enyimba
Shooting Stars 1 - 0 Nasarawa United

Rivers United vs Akwa United. It’s just 18 minutes played, Rivers United have scored 2 goals, absolute brilliance from Rafiu and Akuneto. Rivers United keep winning games. If they keep up the form they are going to win this season. There is still 19 games in the season. Rivers United is looking unstoppable this season.
Rivers United are playing good, out of the 19 matches played this season, only 1 loss which was away match for Rivers United and six draw. Out of 10 home matches, Rivers United did not lose or draw any, the club won all the whole 10 matches, picking the club to win was not a mistake and likely the league will be won by the club this season.

I will not lie to you, that Heartland game with MFM disappointed me.
The clubs are both not good this season, that should not disappoint you. Try check the league table to see what I am talking about. Or probably you are from Imo state, I am just guessing.

Rivers United - Akwa United ended 4-1. Rivers United scored four goals in the first half. I don't understand why Akwa United coach decided to sit his star players on the bench.  How did he expect to win against Rivers United. I think the new coach doesn't want to use the old players, he wants to use the younger players.  That game plan didn't work for them today

Rivers United performed very well to have scored 4 goals in the first half was a nice one, rivers United is a strong team that always make good performance so I don't really know if the reason akwa United didn't perform well is because of the old players that didn't participate in the game.

Yesterday game was a case of Rivers United showing class. The real difference between both sides was Rivers United was playing pressing football. Their counter attack game was strong yesterday. Akwa United defense line could not hold their position. The performance of Rivers United has been superlative. Its been a poor result for  Akwa United this season

The result from yesterday is nice but  Real were just terrible, many open spaces, not pressing at all. Still quite an improvement for Barca under Xavi. I hope he would be given the time and resources to build his vision of the team on the pitch.
The El Classico isn't the same as before. Once upon a time, El Classico was a big thing to me because of the rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi, Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho. With these figures gone from the fixture, the El Classico isn't as grand anymore imo.
Real Madrid received a thrashing last night. Aubameyang was merciless with the goals. I hope Real Madrid can take the anger and direct it to their game against Chelsea in the champions league

The result of Enyemba - Wikki Tourists although goalless has a lot of consequences for Finidi George as a manager,  he has been working on a very tight rope, the last seven matches have not been good, just one win in eight matches. For a club like Enyemba ranking 9th on the table on match day 19...I  won't be surprised if he is sacked by the end of the season.
