But quite recently, after the first matches at Euro 2020, there was quite serious talk at the forum that Kane had hit his transfer value for the worse with his performance in the championship
Big players usually have troubles in big tournaments because they are exhausted, tired after long seasons before big tournaments. Not all big players come to big tournaments with their best stamina that affect their performance. Their performance can be affected by the whole team performance as well.
Another reason why star players don't succeed in big tournaments between countries is because the number traning hours they spend is very small so it is often make communication between players not so good that it affects the appearance.
In nations where they have dominating clubs as Barcelona in Spain, years ago 2008 to 2012, Germany with Bayern Munich, national coaches would prefer to take players from those clubs as core of nation teams. Reasons are like what you said.

My post is for players who have too many matches for clubs and when they participate in big tournaments, they will whether get injured or don't have good stamina to contribute.

In World Cup 2002, France joined the tournament as the biggest candidate with three top scorers from three leagues: Henry in Premier League, Wiltord in Lique I, Trezeguet in Serie A but they were out since group stage. Zidane was injured and only joined the last group match.

Do you have any links to this related news? I have not seen any news related to this yet. Will Pogba want to leave Manchester United? Manchester United is a good enough team. However, Manchester United are less likely to win the title, as the number of teams hoping for the title in the Premier League is much higher.
Pogba want titles with club and personal titles for himself. Manchester United have enough time with Pogba and got nothing from him. His contribution for Manchester United is similar to the performance of Pogba in France vs Switzerland match. Playing well and making mistake because of carelessness.

He is selfish, not young anymore and Manchester United should sell him when his price is still high and there are still clubs want Pogba.

Quote
If Pogba decides to come to Juventus, it will be good for Juventus. They did poorly last season, so their goal this season will be to win the title. Allegri is moving forward with that goal.
Join Juventus and meet Rabiot there. I don't want Pogba will do it. Moreover, Juventus don't want conflict between Pogba and Ronaldo. Juventus sold Pogba because they understood how selfish he is and what troubles he can bring.

Grin As far as I remember, Guardiola himself said in a recent interview that buying Kane is the main goal in the current transfer window, so there are no obstacles from the head coach of the team, but on the contrary, only full approval. There also seems to be a desire in the transition from Kane himself, who sees no prospects in winning titles from his current team. The only obstacles were only Kane's unwillingness to discuss this issue before the end of the European Championship, as well as the unwillingness of the Tottenham owner to sell Kane for the proposed amount from Manchester City.
Kane asked Levy to leave him out and Kane has two Manchester clubs to choose. Manchester City looks to be a better choice for him and what a coincidence that two Manchester clubs already signed with two big players in the England squad, Grealish for Manchester City and Sancho for Manchester United.

Kane will have a very different decision but Manchester City looks to be better and safer for him. At least they can help Kane to get the Premier League title and even Champions League. Everything in Manchester United are in building.

After each big bull run of Bitcoin, policy makers or news makers are very busy with their works. Announcing small to big changes in policies and new makers will take it then spreading more.

I don't see any serious problem with tax in the US. because people have to pay tax for their earnings. It is reasonable and if crypto market want to be legal tender, it has to obey to tax laws.

China, lots of fud from China and we see it every year. China is a perfect source of fud because the nation has dictatorial policies and people tend to be more easily convinced by fud from China.

The new season is closing in. We have only a little more than one month left for the next season. Until then, I wonder what transfers we will see. I expect big moves from especially Manchester clubs and Chelsea. Maybe Liverpool also can make some changes in the squad, who knows. It's really crucial for the teams to make the right decisions in the pre-season. Otherwise, their season would turn into a nightmare suddenly.
Chelsea and Liverpool don't have big transfer so far but the transfer season is still opened and they have enough time to buy players.

Quote
By the way, Manchester City still seem to be assertive about Harry Kane. They seem as ready to spend the amount needed to buy him. I really wonder if they or Kane will manage to convince the chairman, Levy.
Kane want to leave and his performance in Euro is improving in the latest two matches. He scored 3 goals in two matches, not bad at all. If Kane scores more goals and bring the England to the final match or get the title, big clubs will stay in queue to buy him.

Levy will not be able to keep Kane staying in Spurs and it will be a good time after Euro to sell Kane at high cost.

Mourinho is an experienced coach enough that I have no problem accepting it. But I don't think he can win the title with any team. Inter formed strong squads and had no problems with their funds. He was outstanding with the Inter Milan team. Maybe he can improve the Roma team. He can change the position of Roma on the points table. But with Roma's current squad, winning the title is very difficult.
Watch: Jose's first day at Trigoria!
The Romanista gave him very uproarious welcome. They are expecting too much from JM. I believe that Mourinho training and his tactic are very good for Serie A.

I agree that Mourinho might not be able to help Roma win the Scudetto but help Roma achieving what AC Milan had in the past season is enough for Romanista. The second season will be exciting for them, and might be a Scudetto, the first one after 2000 - 2001 season.

I am pretty sure they will dominate the league for a good while more. New coach, new motivation for everybody and Sancho confirmed to go to Manchester United I think?
The transfer of Sancho is completed and two clubs agree the transfer fee. They only wait for Sancho to finish the Euro tournament and officially sign a contract with Manchester United.

Quote
Dortmund should make sure that they are not going to lose another good one. They can't let go Haaland this season, but what would they do if a club offers $150 million? Tough, Dortmund is financially healthy, but not that healthy to not even consider selling him.
If big clubs hesitate to pay more than $100 M for Haaland, Dortmund will keep him for one more season. The world can have a big crisis after the pandemic and it can occur next year, next 3 years, I don't know. Dortmund have to sell Haaland before the crisis.

They have good financial health but their strategy is find talented youth players, buy low, grow up and sell high.

Schick scored to keep the hope for Czech but he got injured and was out. He and Ronaldo now have a same goals in Euro 2020, with 5 goals. It is hard for other players to catch them with only 2 or 3 matches left.

Some players from Spain, Italy have 2 more matches and England players will have 3 more matches in maximum.

Jameson Lopp discusses Bitcoin's unorthodox governance (or lack thereof), the utility of privacy wallets, the benefits of privacy coins like Monero

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=686w0AGSGjI
It is another confirmation from a prestigious crypto-enthusiast about Monero.

Monero: A good long-term investment?
Will Monero come back after the community realize the fact that no one can break the privacy of Monero transaction so far.

theymos mentioned about Monero in [Guide] Decent mixing methods
#2 - Monero

Monero is not a magic black box which provides perfect anonymity! If you use eg. flyp.me to buy XMR and then quickly sell this XMR on flyp.me again, it is blatantly obvious to flyp.me what you've done (if they keep logs), both due to the amounts and the specific Monero inputs used. In order to get decent privacy, you have to do something like this:
 1. Convert BTC to XMR (using your own Monero wallet, not a hosted wallet).
 2. In two or more transactions of random amounts, move XMR from that wallet to a different wallet/account.
 3. Optionally, you can repeat the above step with additional wallets/accounts for greater anonymity.
 4. Preferably in two or more transactions of random amounts, convert the XMR in your last wallet in the chain to BTC.
 
Ideally, all of the above should be performed over as long a period of time as you can tolerate.

 - Pros: Possibly the best anonymity, especially if you're able to stay within the XMR ecosystem to some extent
 - Cons: You should use Tor with Monero, but you have to set this up manually; it's all more difficult; you're exposed to exchange rate risk; transaction fees may be significant

I am going to bet on Spain as well which is a closer game than this one, and going to bet on Italy which is even closer.
Spain dominates that match but their strikers are bad. I can not understand why Enrique replaced Morata too soon.

Spain have good ball possession but the speed they play is too low. It is different than how Italy possess goal and moves it around in the match with Belgium. Italian players play very quick and energetic.

I have no idea about Czech vs Denmark game, that is a bit of a shock. However I do not agree with people who saw some underdogs beat the bigger teams and then started to keep on betting at underdogs, that is how you lose more money in betting, just focus on favorites and you will end up with recovering those losses.
They deserve to be here, in quarter final and any of them go to semi final is deserving. Czech and Denmark fight too hard and they created a lot of surprise so far.

I think Czech has more players that can decide a match than Denmark and tend to think Czech will win this quarter final. Ronaldo and Lukaku were out of Euro and only Patrick Schick will be able to equalize 5 goals of Ronaldo in the quarter final.

There are two matches: semi final and final so if any player can score hattrick will move to the top of scorers. Now, Schick has his chance.

Bayern Munich's domination is as a result of their financial prowess,and besides,German bundesliga is not as competitive as English premier league.In England no top rival will sell their their best player to their bitterest rival like how Dortmund do to Bayern.If the system remains like that,there is every possibility that Bayern will always dominate the German bundesliga.
It is a cycle of success, domination, financial income.

Win Bundesliga, have ticket to join Champions League, have more income.
Have more income, are able to buy best players in Bundesliga, and destroy opponents
Win titles again, the cycle repeats.

It is exactly what Bayern do in Bundesliga and they don't need to rely on Middle East billionaires or corporations to survive and grow.

Of course and this match is not easy for both teams and Switzerland only ranks third best in the group stage, while Spain as three-time European Cup champions has not shown their best performance.
and but all that is not a guarantee because the ongoing match requires cohesiveness and full strength to be the strongest, Switzerland have that and a dangerous counter attack for Spain and the current score is 0-1 for Spain and Switzerland will repay it.
Spain dominates the game in first 12 minutes and they have one goal from Jordi Alba. It is a very early goal for Spain and after that they keep dominating the match.

About Switzerland, they have some good counter attack, good pace but need more accuracy. The early goal from Spain is a disappointment for Switzerland and might not be what they plan for this match.

Did you contact your internet provider to resolve the issue? Exactly the same problem happened to me, I also could not play slot games due to lagging, I informed my internet provider and they solved the problem. Half an hour after informing them they asked me to check again, I was surprised that there was no problem then. Sometimes they slow down some websites for heavy traffic.
Did you have slow internet connection back then?

I guess you had lagging internet connection and it happened for your other activities when you use Internet at that time. If it is a slow or interrupted internet connection, you would have gotten issues with other things, not only with Roobet.

agree, it is hard to expect old people to embrace the change, and young people should be the main target group for Bitcoin mass adoption
it takes years for sure, but each and every change needs time for people to embrace it, and next decade is here for the change, it cannot happen in a year or two, nevertheless, this is the right way, village by village, country by country
The elderly will be replaced by younger people and this change will be good for crypto adoption on massive scale. 10 years later, the total percent of global population that accept cryptocurrency will be bigger than now. Children who are around 10 years old will be a new stream into cryptocurrency market next 10 or 15 years.

Next decade, yes, I agree with you. Furthermore, next 12 or 16 years, Bitcoin block reward will be very low with 3 to 4 more halvings.

We should expect an increase in the market as these two will talk about a cryptocurrency and make some activities with it.
It will be an explosion on social media and can be a bomb but positive or negative effect will depend on what they will talk about cryptocurrency.

I obviously hope that if there is a talk, they will talk positively about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency market. Will the talk be hold soon? I guess not but I wait for it in late months of this year or in first quarter of 2022.

I feel like Koeman is not the type of manager that will make you suddenly become the best team in the world, but he is the coach that can take the best out of each player and that is a rare trait in most managers. Think about it, even the great managers like Mourinho can only play very very well if the team is built around his own strategy, he is a park the bus counter attack type of manager and with it he has won UCL and many other trophies and he is a great manager because of that, but give him Spurs and we have seen what happened.

Koeman is not like that, maybe he will win something (well he has barceloan, a la liga title is not that weird) or maybe he won't but when he is your manager you have the 100% confidence that he is playing each player at 100% and that is the great thing about him that allowed him to be manager at a club like Barcelona.
No coach can do sudden success or make a bad or in trouble team become the best team in the world. It is unrealistic. Everything takes time and luck as well. If success comes mainly from luck, it won't last long.

Long success is built up from long preparation. You can check this fact with Dortmund, Liverpool with Klopp, Italy with Mancini, Atalanta with Gasperini, and Bayern Munich. Bayern can get troubles in one or two seasons but it is from their tactics. They have high quality player resources that contribute to their success long term. A new coach comes to Bayern will inherit the very good player resources and move forwards with new tactics that in turn bring success for them.

Koeman built up Netherlands very impressive but he took that job in Barcelona when the team were in serious troubles. Their player resource does not change much in the last season. I hope the transfer season with some good contracts will help Koeman and Barcelona in a new season.

The only issue is; Xhaka. You never really know what your going to get from him. He played brilliantly last match, but he has a tendency to lose his temper. and composure when things start going wrong. If he performs, I think they beat Spain this time out, and judging by the odds they are a very lucrative option.
Xhaka is uncontrollable and Thiery Henry, as I read from newspaper, turned off his television when he saw Xhaka led Arsenal and worn the captain arm band. Henry does love Arsenal but he disagrees with the decision to give captain band to Xhaka.

Every good player has bad moment(s) in his career and that was Mbappe one. No one should be blamed for missing a penalty. Penalty kicks are very random at a point I think they ruined football but there isn't other alternatives to end an infinite game..
Mbappe is very strong and in his age, many other players are still young players. Mbappe has achieved many things in his career and World Cup is what many legendary players never won in their career.

Mbappe will be a core of France squad in next one decade and he will be more matured with time. Penalty kicks are challenge for any players especially the first and the last rounds.

The most notable is still the match between France and Switzerland, it's the most surprising match of the Euro season so far. I also think it was the most unfortunate defeat so far, when the situation of the match was so clear, France lost their chances one by one. Also commend the swiss as they played really well  Cool
France should do better but they enjoyed their victory too soon and play very carelessly after the third goal from Pogba. The moment after that goal is important because it makes Switzerland players felt angry and played with the best as they could.

In the third goal, Benzema had a bad passing to Pogba but Pogba himself played carelessly as well. When the match has a few minutes to end, and with only one leading goal, Pogba should do better. Together, all France players contribute to the two late goals of Switzerland and they deserved the loss.

Switzerland players deserve that win from all things they have spent in the match.

France is out of the tournament and the blame game has started. There is a big spat ongoing between Veronique Rabiot (mother of Adrien Rabiot) and Wilfried Mbappe (Kylian Mbappe's father). According to Veronique, Mbappe was too selfish and not passing the ball to the other players. Wilfried went ballistic over the comments and hit back saying that it was Rabiot who behaved selfishly.
France nowadays are similar to Netherlands in the past. They have internal conflict before the tournament and look at Netherlands, they used to don't have good result in most of big tournaments.

[Fitzpatrick] But I will say, the one thing also, when you think about bitcoin... Central bank digital currencies are going to be here, I think quicker than people expect.
It is what will happen in my opinion as well. Fiat currency, digital currency from central banks, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency will all together survive with each other, have mutual relationships in transactions, exchanges, etc. None of them will disappear.

Such destiny for those currencies are as same as many types of books or newspaper: paper, e-book, etc. One can become less common than the others but they won't disappear.

like i was say on couple post before this that bank sooner or later it will start accepting or using blockhain technology to adapt with new technology
Big techs do and will accept more cryptocurrency. Banks do and will do more adoption on cryptocurrency.

What they care for utmost is profit and adoption on cryptocurrency will help their banks have more income from customers. It's clear that they have to obey to local laws as well as regional laws. It it too confident to say all nations, all banks will accept Bitcoin and cryptocurrency but I believe they will. They can not prevent the revolution in technology goes deeper into human society.
