Big surprise in the match between Barcelona and Borussia, Rakitic playing from  the beginning. As expected, Barcelona putting a lot of pressure on Borussia players. Messi and Rakitic coperate very  well together. Dembele is the most dangerous player on offense so far.
Is this match last chance for german coach?

It seems to me that their biggest problem is the owner, who is willing to spend money on a new stadium but not on new players.
In such situation, without investing in new players, Mauricio Pochettino really did great job as coach.
He pulled the most out of that team and brought them very close to the title of champion of England and European champion.
Hopefully he will get a real chance to show what he knows in the right club, which will not save money on players, as Tottenham does.

Very good posts AirdropNotifyer.
I'm happy to see that you, as young member on this forum, already fighting against SCAM projects, and in doing so you are also helping other users in the forum.
Congratulation for very good work.
I gave you merit for the first post but I may review also your other posts again, if no new applications for the merits here.
Any way, this Merit giveaway is still open so I'm waiting for new applications.

I would like to add Zadar from Croatia on this list.
As you can see here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5168879.0  state owned Croatian post started very important pilot project in local post offices in Zadar (very famous tourist area by the way).
Now, we can go to the local post office in Zadar and exchange our crypto to fiat, what is really very convenient for users, specially tourists from other countries.
I can generally say that the government is friendly to the crypto market and we already have several crypto companies in the country.
The tax office has already given instructions on how to pay crypto earnings tax and if the crypto funds are kept for at least 2 years in the wallet, no tax will be paid as this is then a long-term investment.

I suggest you don't think too much about it.
If you find good quality post, something what contribute to the forum or help others, than reward such post with sMerits, if you have sMerits to give.
There is really no reason to keep them for yourself because you get nothing out of it.
As explained to you, it's better that you focus on writing quality posts as this is how you will start to receive merits from other users and progress in the forum.
That way you will always have new sMerits to give to other users and reward good posts in the forum.

Zapravo nije poanta u tome.
Svi se slažemo da je Regulus pogriješio i da je zaslužio ban.
Stvar je u onome što se događalo nakon toga.
Regulus je poslao nekoliko poruka adminima kroz službene kanale komunikacije i nije dobio nikakav odgovor.
Pokrenuo je topic u meti i cijela naša lokalna zajednica mu je dala veliku podršku.
7-8 mjeseci smo molili nekoga od admina da napravi ''review'' i ponovno barem razmotri njegov slučaj i da neki odgovor ali nije bilo apsolutno nikakve reakcije od admina, 7-8 mjeseci su nas sve potpuno ignorirali i ostavili bez ikakvog odgovora.
S druge strane neki drugi slučajevi su riješeni u par sati ili dana, obično sa signature banom.
Svi znamo i za slućaj jednog našeg lokalnog korisnika, kojemu je uklonjen permaban jer je imao privatni odnos sa jednim od admina na ovom forumu i poslao mu je privatnu poruku izvan službenih kanala foruma (dakle nije čak ni pokrenuo unban apeal u Meti).
Regulus takvu ''vezu'' nije imao, mali je i nebitni član male i nebitne zajednice na ovom forumu, ne zna privatno nijednog admina na ovom forumu i zato nije imao šansu za oprost permabana.
Što god ti rekao ili tvrdio, ali ovo jednostavno nije u redu, nije pošteno ni pravedno i svima nama je ostavilo jednu veliku gorčinu i osjećaj nepravde.
 

Manchester City have been too strong for all the other clubs in the group and I have a feeling they have passed the group playing at half power.
Mourinho has obviously helped the Tottenham players find their lost character and now they look like the right team again.
Obviously this is a brand new team now, with a new spirit and confidence and already with that Mourinho has shown why he is a very good coach, ''special one''.
Usually Mourinho achieve the best results with a new clubs in second season, so the best of Tottenham and Mourinho is probably still to come.

It's truly unbelievable what chances Pasalic missed yesterday, I can't believe it.
Dinamo was really lucky yesterday and lost only 2:0.
Dinamo will have a very serious problem against Manchester City as some key players in defense will not be able to play because of yellow cards.
Only chance for Dinamo now is that Manchester City will play with the reserve players because before and after the match with Dinamo they play with Arsenal and ManU and this match with Dinamo means nothing to them, they are already first in the group.

Very bad start for Mourinho in CL, as it seems for now.
Also, very bad start for Dinamo with Atalanta.
Dinamo losing 1: 0 right now and they are even lucky that the result is not worse.
With current results in the group, Shakhtar secures second place in the group and Atalanta is alive again and is fighting for third place in the group.
All other results are as expected.

Great testimony,  thank you very much for sharing your story RapTarX.
It's universal principle than when you give something to others you receive much more back.
I hope that many new members in the forum will read your story and learn from your experience.
We really need many members like you,  who contribute to the forum and help others with experience and knowledge.
I hope you will soon become Hero and Legendary member as well.

From what I heard only Petkovic is injured but it looks he will play any way.
All other players are ready.
Atalanta showed a lot weakness in the CL specially in the first match in Zagreb,  when Dinamo beat them 4:0.
Their defense is weak and it's obvious they don't have enough experience for such competition.
Also,  in national championship Atalanta have very bad results recently.
I think that Dinamo have very good chance for good result.

I'm merit source and in the beginning I really had problem to find good quality posts which I can reward with merits.
I realized that users who don't know English well and don't write posts often in English part of the forum have even less chance to get merits for good quality posts.
So,  I started topic in my local section of the forum where users can suggest good quality posts for merits.
After review some of this posts I reward with merits.
I also started similar topic here,  in beginners section but no so many people applied.
Any way,  my advice,  don't run for merits but if you have really good posts,  something what contribute to the forum or help others, than report this post in merits giveaway topics.

OK, tomorrow the CL continues, so let's continue our discussion  
We have some really interesting matches tomorrow, like Real vs. PSG or Tottenham vs. Olympiacos and of course Juventus vs. Atletico.
It will be interesting to see how Tottenham with new coach, Mourinho, will play against Olympiacos and if Juve can again, like last year, beat Atletico.
Real has not been playing at a high level for a long time and now has a chance to show against PSG that the crisis is behind them.
With particular interest I will look at the match between Atalanta and Dinamo.
After dropping a victory against Shakhtar in an incredible way a few weeks ago, now Dinamo players have the opportunity for redemption in Italy.
If they manage to beat Atalanta, and with the expected defeat of the Shakhtar against Manchester City, for the first time in the history of the club, Dinamo have the opportunity to continue to compete in the Champions League in the spring.
More than 50 years ago, they were the winners of the UEFA Cup, but they never achieved much in the Champions League, until now  

It seems,  based on the some reports in Croatian online news portals,  that Mandjukic will probably become new player in ManU.
They even wrote that Mandjukic is ready to move in England already in December and wait there for the confirmation of transfer.
He is not young any more but can help ManU with his experience.
Only problem now is his salary because ManU can't offer him the same salary like Juve.
What do you think about this transfer?

I think that governments also continues to learn the benefits of bitcoin (and crypto ) and how to make profit from it.
For example,  in my country,  Croatia,  state owned Croatian post started pilot project, crypto exchange in the local post offices in Zadar.
They plan to eventually offer such service to all main post offices in Croatia.
Of course people still can’t use crypto for payment but they can exchange crypto funds to fiat and than pay for services in the post office.
It's great step for mass adoption of crypto in Croatia.
Out government is very positive and open toward crypto. 

It's not to complicate to earn merit, you don't need 4 but only one step - quality.
If you write good quality posts,  something what contribute to the forum or can help others,  you will receive merits.
Some people maybe can't write good posts in English but we already have many local merit source so even in local sections it's not to difficult to earn merits.
Also,  we already have a lot merit giveaway topics in the forum so if you feel that some good posts are not rewarded with merits you can report it in such topics.

Kakva panika!? 
Pa Black friday je najbolji dan za shopping, kada cijene masovno padaju dolje i to dosta.
Super vijesti za one koji znaju prepoznati ''pravu'' priliku za kupnju i zaradu.

Na žalost, na ovom forumu nikada dovoljno opreza.
Čini mi se da je nekim članovima, koji imaju previše slobodnog vremena očito, postala životna misija da pregledavaju tisuće starih postova i da pokušavaju pronaći bilo što za prijavu moderatorima, pa se obični i normalni članovi ''boje'' da slučajno ne naprave neku pogrešku i nastradaju (pa se sad bojimo objaviti čak i slike bez izvora).
Ono što se dogodilo Regulusu na žalost ostavlja veliku gorčinu svima nama i trajna je opomena.

Both Real and Barcelona have done poorly this season, both in the national championship and in the Champions League.
Fortunately for them, other clubs in Spain have also their ups and downs, like Atletico Madrid for example, and it's still an early stage in the Champions League and they play with weaker clubs, so they will pass to the next phase of the competition and have time to improve the quality of their matches.
They have the quality and the experience and in the spring it will be seen who will win the Championship and whether they can win the Champions League.

Liverpool have a great advantage right now, but history has shown that it doesn't have to mean much.
Last season, Liverpool also had a big lead of 7 points over Manchester City but in the end they were second.
The league is very long and hard and it's very difficult to win in continuity.
Manchester will certainly strengthen its defense with new players in January and Liverpool will have a very difficult and busy schedule in December because of FIFA Club World Cup, so if they survive December then they are most likely new champions, after 30 years.
We will see.
In a way, that wait of 30 years for the championship title is probably also a psychological brake for the players and the club.
