These were the results from the games played yesterday:

France 1-1 Poland
Netherlands 2-3 Austria
Denmark 0-0 Serbia
England 0-0 Slovenia

There were four games played yesterday, they played two at a time therefore I was changing the channel between the games to see how they were playing out. Poland were very close to winning that game even though balance shifted between them. The penalty re-take was probably necessary because the rule is the goalkeeper has to keep at least one foot on the line but credit to Lewandowski for kicking the ball in the same corner but with more accuracy to score. Poland are now out of the tournament as they finished bottom of the group whereas France finished second.

The game of the day had to be Netherlands vs Austria. I could not believe the way the Austrians were playing, it was as though they were full of confidence wanting to win the group (which they did). The Netherlands finished 3rd in the group but are the strongest team at the moment in the group table of 3rd placed teams therefore will qualify for the next stage and possibly face England in the knockout stage.

About England, what a boring display they put on. They finished top of the group with one win and two draws but is was dismal from the in their three games.

These are the final group games of the tournament taking place today Wednesday 26th June:

Slovakia vs Romania
Ukraine vs Belgium
Czech Republic vs Turkey
Georgia vs Portugal

I appreciate what you said about being too busy in real life to worry about milestones and anniversaries as they are insignificant. I would not be surprised if by far the majority of forum members felt that way. Real life obligations and activities always have to take priority over anything else therefore I hope all members have the same view. Thankfully I am not one that needs an ego stroke or ego boost by receiving congratulations or congratulatory messages thus this thread was not created for that purpose.

If you remain active I am sure you will reach many milestones too. Hearing about how you felt when you reached some of your milestones would have been been nice.

Maybe I will never make the top 30 but it is fine, I am glad just to be a member here. You did not mention the feelings or sentiments you had when reached a milestone that had meaning.

I did not allude to anything on the contrary. I am glad they are open to the idea of adding more options to their website. Reputation on any website is extremely difficult to come by and from is apparent within the forum is that eXch have excellent reviews and feedback therefore whether they chose to expand or stay with the crypto they have, they will continue to attract new customers as well as retain existing ones.

Well, the knockout stages Round of 16 already confirmed Switzerland vs Italy as the first game and it will take place on Saturday 29th June. Switzerland will be heavily tested in that game and for that reason no matter how good you (or I) expect them to play, I expect them to lose because Italy would be favourites to win.

Italy are reigning Euro champions but have not been the best team in the tournament. Yes we know Switzerland are capable of causing an upset because Italy do not look like a strong cohesive unit and if they get tested by the Swiss (like Spain did to them) we will be able to see how they adapt. Having said that, this is a knockout game and for that reason I think the vastly experienced Italian side will go through to the next round.

I visited the website today and noticed they have not added any other new crypto to their list. I mentioned this before in a post some time ago and understood the reasons why the options were not expanding. Though it is not detrimental in an capacity to not increase the number of crypto available to exchange, it would certainly bring a bigger client base to their website. If eXch were offering those services at a compromise to their ethics or security, nobody would expect them to do it but if those two principles are not affected maybe they can consider it.

Keeping that aside, I hope all is well because their forum representative has not been online since 3rd June 2024.


For me it took a long time to load but there was no other issue.

Modric was given a huge standing ovation as he was substituted with 10 minutes of the game remaining, it looked as though Croatia were going to finish the group in second place and would automatically qualify for the next stage. It was his 178th cap for his country and now it seems highly likely he will not appear in another Euro or World Cup because in a few months he will be 39 years old.

What a player he was for Tottenham, Real Madrid and Croatia.

In order for Croatia to have any chance to qualify for the next stage, England have to beat Slovenia by three goals and Turkey to beat the Czech team.

It seems like yesterday that I had made 10,000 posts during my journey in the forum and now I am on 17,000 posts.

Upon reaching this particular milestone I did not have feelings of jubilation, I think it is just a reminder that slowly but surely numbers increase every day. With that it is also a reminder that every so often we learn about members that were part of the forum are sadly no longer with us (and our condolences and best wishes are always for their family, friends and loved ones).

When I reached 10,000 posts I had a different feeling, it felt like a memorable moment for me and at the time I did it without wearing a signature. Since then I have participated in numerous campaigns and it has been different journey because it has been financially rewarding too.

If I am fortunate enough to have good health and am able to continue being a forum member, I will be posting about my 20,000th posts milestone one day






------------------

What were your feelings when you reached a milestone that had sentimental value to you regardless of what others may have thought about it? It could be about the number of posts made or related to merits or anything else. Kindly share.

These types of scams are becoming more prevalent and it is concerning reading about how regular they are becoming. There is no way effective way to clamp down on them therefore people have to remain vigilant. Any sort of plugin people do not know too much about should not be downloaded especially one that will try to connect to a wallet. People should just a make a policy of not trusting them unless they are from a verified source with excellent ratings, reviews or feedback.

Maybe those are the star attractions that make gullible people fall for the scam in the first place. It is sad reading about any victim of wallet draining scams.

It is good to read your posts in this thread, where have you been hiding?  

I was surprised when a team such as Bayern Munich opted to sign Kompany as their manager after he just got relegated in his first season as a Premier League manager. More often than not, Bayern make long term decisions and think things through properly. Now we will see Kompany manage Kane in the Bundesliga.

Ipswich Town played very well in the Championship, I will not be surprised if they win that game because they will be looking to take full advantage of Liverpool visiting them with a new manager in a new era. The Klopp era is over and I cannot see a new manager having it easy in the early phase of his appointment, this will be a challenging time for him.

These were results of the games played to 24th June:

Albania 0-1 Spain
Croatia 1-1 Italy

These are the results of the games played yesterday 23rd June:

Scotland 0-1 Hungary
Switzerland 1-1 Germany


It must be painful for Croatia to be that close to finishing the table in second place and getting automatic qualification to the next stage and to lose that after conceding a goal nearly eight minutes in to time added-on. As a result Italy finished in second place but they are now relying on England to win by at least three goals (and that is possible) to get them through as one of the best 3rd placed teams.

Germany also scored a goal a couple of minutes in to time added-on for their equaliser but they finished the group as leaders but Hungary scored around ten minutes in to time added-on and they have been knocked out.

These are the games taking place tomorrow 25th June:

France vs Poland
Netherlands vs Austria
Denmark vs Serbia
England vs Slovenia

That game was brilliant last season at Stamford Bridge. Pochettino and Guardiola were trying their best to get all three points. It was almost end to end football with attack and counterattack all the way. Two late goals (one to give Manchester City a 3-4 lead and then a penalty for Chelsea in time added-on to make it 4-4) made this a memorable game.

I remember when Pochettino came on to the pitch furious with the referee for blowing the full-time whistle because he wanted the game to continue as Chelsea were mounting a counterattack. I cannot recall seeing Pochettino being that angry before.

Chelsea need to hit the ground running for the new season otherwise they will suffer. They have a new manager who is unproven and I think they could regret signing him because taking Leicester City from the Championship to the Premier League does not make him a suitable manager for a club such as Chelsea.

When you think about the Ipswich Town manager being an ex-Manchester United coach, you can understand why he would want to beat Liverpool.

That sounds about right to me. They have to be seen as fulfilling their legal obligations and for those reasons they will continue to send out all sorts of emails. Let us not forget that Grant Thornton have spent a huge amount of funds on (as they put it) trying to recover all of the assets.

Regardless of the emails, not all victims will be receiving their funds. One of the loopholes that victims were stuck in related to them not wanting to give KYC therefore had to forfeit any assets that belonged to them and they are not happy about it. 

These are the games taking place today 23rd June 2024:

Scotland vs Hungary
Switzerland vs Germany

Regardless of what happens when Switzerland play Germany, if Scotland beat Hungary they will end the group stage with four points and that should be enough to get them through to the knockout stages (the first time ever in a major tournament) by virtue of being one of the best 3rd placed teams.

These are the results from the games played yesterday:

Georgia 1-1 Czech Republic
Turkey 0-3 Portugal
Belgium 2-0 Romania

I guess he already knows where he went wrong in the unification fight and will try to rectify the errors for the rematch. Having said that, Usyk is a fantastic boxer and would try his best to counter whatever strategy Fury brings to the ring.

We can agree or disagree with what Fury says or believes but he clearly stated that as far as he was concerned he had won the fight. I am surprised you missed it if you had seen the video. Watch the video in the link provided by hilariousetc and when the video gets to 1m 38s Fury clearly states: "I watched the fight back lots of times, still got he same answer, I thought I won the fight, I thought I did enough"

These are the full results from the game played yesterday:

Slovakia 1-2 Ukraine
Poland 1-3 Austria
Netherlands 0-0 France

I expected The Netherlands vs France to produce at least a goal for each time therefore that game was a bit of a let down. It was the first game of Euro 24 that ended 0-0 at full time. Maybe if Mbappe was playing the result would have been different.

The goal Simons scored for Netherlands and was disallowed but it was a difficult decision to make. On one hand the goal should have stood because the player that was in an off-side position was not even interfering with play and was not in the line of sight between the goalkeeper and the ball. On the other hand, he was less than one metre away from the goalkeeper to his left side. The strike from Simons was excellent and deserved the goal but firs the referee ruled it out after his assistant told him the player was off-side and then VAR had a decision to make to overrule or confirm the original decision.

Poland losing 1-3 to Austria was a surprise but Poland have been eliminated from the competition as a result. As mentioned in an earlier post, well done to Ukraine for getting their first points of the tournament.

These are the games taking place today Saturday 22nd June. Belgium are in a must-win game against Romania but the game of the day is probably Turkey vs Portugal 

Georgia vs Czech Republic
Turkey vs Portugal
Belgium vs Romania

I stand corrected. Thank you for correcting me because I made an error when I incorrectly stated your Ambatman account was banned. I also re-iterate the fact that the Ambatman account is not banned. You had some issues with accessing the account and you were trying to reset the password (to which admin have not yet really made any progress on resolving for you). Thank you.

I would not go the point of saying they had a thrilling game. The main question on my mind was what on earth was wrong with the England midfield. I have to give full credit to Denmark for not letting England walk all over them and they scored a fantastic equaliser after England took the lead through Kane.

RESULT: Slovakia 1-2 Ukraine

Ukraine come from a goal down to win their first game and collect their first points of the tournament. The Poland vs Austria game is at half-time with the scores 1-1.

That is the beauty of the game, there are a huge number of games between teams that are capable of beating each other therefore both fans and neutrals can select any game they deem to a mouth-watering prospect to be their game of the day. It has the same principle in every league around the world but where it is taken to a new level is in the Premier League because on any given day, most teams at the bottom of the table are probably able to hold their own against the bigger teams.

Brentford vs Crystal Palace is a London derby between smaller clubs but still excites fans of both teams (I am unsure about neutral fans on this one).

Ambatman 2 is trying hard to have the ban removed from his Ambatman account as can be seen by several threads dedicated to that cause. To be honest, it seems the only reason he has to try to retrieve the account is because it is enrolled on a signature campaign. It is not as though there is anything of substance provided by that account historically which is supposed to important enough for him to hold on to the account. It is simply about having an account that was being monetised via a signature campaign.

It has been some time since he started his quest to have his account retrieved but it does not look as though admin are allowing it. We do not know the reasons.

Also, is the second chance thread going to be remain open for the long term? I am curious to know long the goodwill gesture from admin will last.

I think the OP has wishful thinking because there are people all over the world that are offering the same idea in a universal name for currency descriptions. I do not see the need for it and it is impractical to conceive as well as impossible to implement. Who for example will accept it and who will decline? It will have zero consensus.

If I remember correctly, up until payments for some campaigns were made in mBTC I also never understood the concept, never really looked in to it properly as sats and BTC were always enough.
