A quick goal really decided a lot in the first half! Now England play defence, and they are good at it!
One more half to go! Hopefully Italy can score so we can see some good football again!
England play very defensive and boring in the first half. The early goal from Luke Shaw breaks the plan of Italy and brings a big advantage to England. Chiesa has a good shot but it is not accurate enough to have a goal for Italy.

Let's see how Italy can equalize the match in the second half. I hope they will have an equalizer soon then the match will become more exciting.

England just want to protect their one leading goal and don't mind to play more than half of the field.

Bitcoin is better than gold. Can you provide something that Bitcoin is worse than Gold?

How do you think Bitcoin is easier to be stolen?

newspapers can be tough, today I read the news in the journal says:

For the first time in its history, the English will be present in the decisive game of the continental competition, this while the Italians already won the Euro in 1968.

 Grin

this game is very important for both teams, but I think that for the English it is a great and unique opportunity to win the euro. It's funny that england and italy are two countries where they have a very competitive league, it was expected that they could have won a lot of euros. but for some reason they can't
England team are always over rated by English newspapers and their media. Their record is worse than Netherlands that have many semi final and final matches.

Their media usually think England will beat all national teams on the world to win World Cup and Euro. They forget that Premier League get their positions because they are rich and buy many good players from other nations but they only think all the power of Premier League is from English players.

All of illusion results in more pressure on their players in all big tournaments. This Euro, they get their first Euro final match and let's see what they can get from this final.

@hd49728 Dortmund have already clarified that Halland won’t be sold this season, but next season he’s definitely being sold and Dortmund can’t keep him beyond 2021 - 2022. Also I doubt that their performances will be severely effected because they’ll reinvest in little unknown player who’ll prove equal to Sancho and then two season later sell him, it’s typical Dortmund thing.
Thank you for the article.

I see Dortmund play fair and respect their players. They provide clear message on what they want from players. 2 transfer season ago, they wanted to keep Sancho, this transfer season, they let him go to Manchester United but keep Haaland. Next season they will allow Haaland to negotiate with other clubs.

I respect Dortmund on how they treat their players fairly and respectfully.

Dortmund have good scouts and they will return soon.

if Harry Kane scores 2 goals today (which will be hard enough against the italian team) he will be the top scorer of this tournament.
currently CR7 and Patrick Schick are leading the list with 5 goals each
2 goals to Italy goal sounds unrealistic mission for Kane. If England score goal, it can be from their wing backs, not from Kane. Because I believe Kane will not have space to play with Chiellini and Bonucci always keep eyes on him.

Grealish, Sancho and Sterling can make difference for England in the final match. However, Southgate tends to be very observative and don't want to use Grealish or Sancho too much.

I think Ronaldo will be the top scorer of the Euro.
3626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 10, 2021, 10:41:04 AM
Yes of course he is going to leave, but not this year. I doubt Dortmund is going to leave Sancho and Haaland in the same year. I just don't think there is any chance for that to happen unless, as I said, the transfer fee is a real moonshot.
They will wait for Haaland to grow up more and sell as higher as possible and I agree that they might not want to sell both two big stars in a same transfer season. They need time to rebuild their team, to find another player as replacement for Sancho and to make sure their performance won't be affected too much.

With Dortmund, they will sell star players to enrich their balance sheet and Haaland will not feel happy in Dortmund if he plays there in many years.

Quote
Without Sancho and Haaland, Dortmund will have trouble making it even into the champions league qualification. Hell, it could even be close for the Europen League. Imagine they have two or three injuries during the season and Sancho and Haaland are gone, game over!
In the past season Dortmund struggled to get a position to Champions League. It would be terrible if they sell both Sancho and Haaland.

Didn't they just now bought Alaba? He is a good and experienced player and sure is a good replacement for Ramos.
Real Madrid have a good and experienced player. He has a long career because he debuted in Bundesliga when he was very young. Even now, he is still young enough to have about 4 more years at his best.

Quote
Yeah but Varane's transfer might open a hole so yeah they might need to look at it. Still there is lot of time and there wouldn't be much going on actively with the Euro's going on right now. Here is a report that Real Madrid will not look into replacement if Varane leaves: https://www.managingmadrid.com/2021/7/9/22569770/real-madrid-varane-transfer-news-replacement-2021
I don't think they will let Varane leaves. And if he leaves then Real Madrid won't find any replacement, it might bring a terrible season for them. Alaba won't be able carry the whole defense system of Real Madrid in a long season. A good defense system need to work as a system, with some good players. Marcelo is old too and his performance is unstable already.

Some countries now ban the use of Bitcoin, or banks restrict cryptocurrency transactions, resulting in an increase in the number of long-term Bitcoin holders.
They can reverse their bans anytime.

Bans or restrictions are temporarily and it sucks if you know nations are participating in their own hype trend, CBDCs. You should know CBDC will not be launched without the contributions from bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the past 10 years.

They learn from Bitcoin and try to say Bitcoin is sam, bad, virtual just to claim their CBDCs are better.

Yes, I remember when Juventus get Ronaldo, they makes a lot of money from Jersey. But, from recent rumor i've read, Juventus ready to sell Ronaldo, even with 25m Euro, from this rumor, I think they are have a serious financial problem since COVID-19, news reported if Juventus revenue minus 20%. Read more
Thanks for the link to that article. I knew they got financial troubles (as same as other clubs) and also asked their players to cut their salary a bit.

I just wonder how much they have earn from selling Ronaldo jersey? Totally, so far.

I'm also not sure that as good as mourinho next season, he can bring Roma to win the Serie A. However, I predict Roma could be in 2nd or 3rd position next season. The reason, Napoli, Inter and AC Milan are likely to return to inconsistent performance. Regarding the competition for 2nd place, I think there is potential between Atalanta and AS Roma.
Mourinho can help Roma players play better and get higher position, perhaps the third or fourth. Win a Scudetto in his first season in Roma, is impossible. Mourinho usually need two season to win national league titles. Additionally, the quality of Roma players is below their competitors, Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Napoli.

I think Italy vs England is an ideal final, it's like a classic fight between two countries which has a good football competition and a great football history. Both England and Italy have the same great opportunity to become champions, so everything will be decided on the field.
The match is equal but England will play at their home stadium, Wembley.

Italy have amazing Euro so far that many of us did not think they can when the Euro starts. Italy looks to have better results in history than England but in a final match, and with equal power for both, either Italy or England will win it.

It will depend on how England starts the final. If they start too hurry, they might be punished by Italian boys.

My guess is the match will be decided in extra time or even a penalty shootout.
England does not have good record in penalty shootouts so as Italy but if the match goes with penalty, I believe in Italy and Donnarumma. The young goal keeper is very talented and seems to have good penalty-saving skills.

You are right that the chances of both countries are equal to be champions, even though England is the host but often in football it doesn't really matter.
England often are not get good result at big tournament, but maybe it's time for England to lift the trophy.
As said, chance is equal for both but I bet on Italy.
3633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 08, 2021, 10:43:20 AM
English premier league is not German bundesliga or Laliga where a striker bags more than 30 goals per season.In England,the defenders take it upon themselves to defend their teams,and so it makes scoring hard for strikers.I think if Haaland still wants to remain a top footballer the way he is,he should just remain at Dortmund.
With Haaland, he can score more than 30 goals. Probably he can not now but in the future, he will be able to score 30 to 40 goals each season. Do people call Haaland as a next Cristiano Ronaldo? He even has better body than Ronaldo and he achieves more things than CR7 at his age.

In his twenties, CR7 was not a goal machine like Haaland.

I also think that Haaland will be at least one season more in Dortmund and then it depends how far Dortmund has come .
Also i can imagine that he will get an offer from Chelsa and from Bayern Munich or other big Teams.
Hope to see him in the German League longer.
I believe that Haaland will leave Bundesliga and will not join Bayern Munich. He is not a German player so he does not has interest to stay in Bundesliga. Premier League or La Liga can be the destination for Haaland with more competitive clubs.

For how long, the attackers need to maintain 51% dominance in mining hash rate, in order to pull off such an attack? Given the current conditions, it will be extremely difficult for any new entity to garner even 10% of the hash rate. 51% is a long way away. And even in case they somehow manage to hit the 51% level, the other miners are not going to sit idle. They will immediately increase their hashpower (by diverting some of the hashpower from those who are currently mining altcoins). That's why I am curious about the duration. For how long they need to maintain this >51% level?
That tweet makes sense that Bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency for your transactions. Bitcoin network can be attacked too easily and people use it for transactions with high value.

Avalanche should be compared with SOLANA or magic instead of eth.

Of course, this does not mean that I am not optimistic about him.

I want to choose the right time to study it in detail in the near future.
Avalanche belongs to the tier 2 smart contract projects and I can not agree more with you on this. It should be compared to SOLANA, Polkadot, MAGIC rather than compare to Ethereum.

Those projects will need four or five years to grow and they are not quality enough to compare to ETH. They got early success but not enough and smaller than what ETH has gotten.

Yes, they have a lot of partners at the moment, but are you sure money from sponsors is enough to pay Ronaldo's salary and team?  if I'm not mistaken, Juventus is also ready to accept offers from other clubs for only 25 million Euros for Ronaldo if any clubs wants his service. But so far no one has been willing to bid for that price. This can be a proves that Juventus seems to be burdened with the salary they have to pay to Ronaldo.
Ronaldo help Juventus to get good income from Ronaldo jersey.

In principle, the match ended as I wanted - with a series of penalties. Thus, it can be assumed that Italy is physically and mentally exhausted, so it will be a little easier for the winner of the England - Denmark pair to win in the final. I hope it will be Denmark, but if it will be England it is also a good option.
England is the favorite bet for many guys but Denmark know what to do. The invitation for the Eriksen to visit and watch the final match in Wembley can bring more motivation to Denmark players. I hope they will beat England.

Surprise is the beauty of soccer but if the final match is between Italy and England it will be very cool and great final. Italy and England have meet a few times in the last 10 years and Italy have better results than England. I want to see the Italy - England rather than Italy - Denmark.
3638  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will China's crackdown on Bitcoin cause Bitcoin to become worthless? on: July 06, 2021, 05:00:40 PM
Bitcoin is impossible to stop by nature! You can't stop it because you can't stop the internet as the global infrastructure is dependent on the internet. Also, what does stop even mean? Is Bitcoin stopped when 150 countries banned it and 50 did not? To me stopped means that it is literally dead, you can't use it anymore. That I don't see coming. Even if many countries crack down on it, there will still be places where it is used to store value or transact or speculate.
It is partially stopped by China and Bitcoin mining is now easier and more profitable as algorithm adjusts after China crackdown.

The first key point is "More than 54% of bitcoin’s hashrate, which is the collective computing power of miners worldwide, has dropped off the network since its market peak in May." so if anyone or corporation collect all those mining power, they can be able to do 51% attack. It is theory but looks to be unrealistic to be done.

Lastly, China can flip their policy a few months later and it will not be the first time they change policies.

Italy looks favorite by many, so I believe we have a fairly good chance to win this game as Spain supporters. Grin
Italy look to be stronger than Spain but they are at same level and in one match, the chance to win is fair for all.

Quote
Spinazzola was the best player in the tournament, now he's gone and we don't see how it affect Italy's gameplay.
Emerson will replace Spina and he is not a bad player. Emerson is an ex-player of Roma as well. I think Italian fans should consider that accident as a suspension because of red/ yellow cards. Spina's team mates can fight for him as what Denmark squad fight too hard after the accident of Eriksen. You know with Eriksen, I don't think Denmark can go too far, semi final, like this.

Quote
If Spain defense can stop Insigne they can upset blues. Sarabia is unavailable for Spain, Morata's performance would be critical for them. Olmo and Moreno also lack of scoring in this tournament, if they break this curse today Spain may win the game.
Italy don't rely only on Insigne so you are wrong. I believe in Italy.

Spina looks better after the surgery and Mourinho has a good interview in which he said he was in since the first day and he was very impressed about Romanista.

Mourinho is awared of what Roma ended in the last season, compares to the fourth position and the Scudetto winner, Inter Milan.

Looking forward to having a good season for Roma and Mourinho.
