But of course I think Simeone has done his job well and of course I think Atletico Madrid only needs to bring in good players, so I believe Atletico Madrid has the potential to advance to the final and of course it is not impossible to become champions. upcoming season.
Yes, let's see what happens with Atletico Madrid.


So far Diego Simeone can be good at bringing Atletico Madrid to the Champions League, but in my opinion they are just not too lucky to win the Champions League. Several times they succeeded in being in the final, but they had to fail to become champions. Simeone can also be said to be quite consistent in maintaining Atletico Madrid's performance, even though they experienced several declines, but in my opinion their decline was a normal decline and not too significant.

Atletico Madrid have trusted Diego Simeone for a very long time, they are not too hasty in making the decision to fire Diego Simeone and sign a new coach. It seems like they also don't want to take risks, because even if they change their coach, it doesn't guarantee that they will be able to perform better or maybe they will even perform worse. Atletico Madrid does not want to be careless in making decisions.
Even though Simeone have not won the champions league, it is not a problem for Atletico Madrid management because they see that he is doing his job very well and keeping the club performance to be consistent in the Champions League. A time will come for Atletico Madrid to win the champions league because Simeone will keep on having more experience as time passes on.

Champions league is not as easy as domestic league where all clubs knows the weakness of the other or they are use to their game pattern. The champions league is something far different from that. It is difficult these days to see a good coach that will lead a club to success in just one season, so Simeone is the best coach for Atletico Madrid and with time, he will win trophies.

In gambling a gambler will only win one or two games but his loss will be maximum and those who are winning again and again are lucky enough that their wins are more than their loss. Luck will decide how much you will be profitable from gambling and there is nothing to study about gambling and learn about the process of getting success in gambling.

You cannot work hard for gambling because it is assumed that if you are gambling more then your wins will not increase but you will face more difficulties as your bet can be true or false depending on your luck and there is nothing through accepting which you can learn about gambling.

"Maximum" unnecessary word, I don't believe that losses are always maximum in every situation as a gambler, we cannot judge with such convictions.
Gambling is a game of probability of which it is low on the side of Gamblers winning, invariably meaning that Gamblers expect to win based off the chances presented and not luck, if we say luck why then do we analyse, make decision before gambling while not some random bet. There is nothing like luck, though everyone is entitled to there opinion but I would not support such as there is no lucky or unlucky gambler.
Gambling is more of luck and not analysis or decision making, and this is why you see it that a gambler cannot keep on winning but a gambler can keep on losing because luck comes once in a while. I see gambling as a try your luck thing and whoever take it so will accept the outcome of his bet.

We have games that are purely luck like slot machines, but people still hit the jackpot, so what will you call that. It is Sam with every other game that is used for gambling. Sportbet is the same if not a lot of people will be cashing out everyday due to their good analysis. Have you not heard that there is no professional gambler, no one can predict what will happen tomorrow correctly.

Have you ever heard or played with this cards or they are rather uncommon in your country?


If not for your post I won’t have known that this card exists - I don’t know if it’s just my community/ state or the whole country but never have I seen or heard anyone talk about this card before, the one that is quite popular here that we all played during our childhood was “whot” it’s used for both gambling games and none gambling games - and also the French suited decks which majority of us did use during our childhood. Most believed that e French suited decks was made purely for gambling (a belief born from movies we saw) and that if you played with it you might become a gambler in future so we sticked to our normal “whot”.
Same here, I don't think I have seen the Spanish card and I never knew that such exist. During my childhood days, we do play poker and whit, but mostly is whot card because it is the most popular game and it is played by everyone for fun, but gamblers love staking with it.

but me and my brother would have some fun playing with the cards with some rules we made up ourselves.
Wow....sound crazy. Why didn't you guys learn the rules, is it that it was only adults that plays the Spanish card because you could have learnt the rules from your friend or someone of your age mate. It will be fun learning how to play this card.

This season the fight has been more than serious and it's not about Arsenal finishing poorly, it's about the fact that Manchester City made some mistakes in their time and that's why they let other teams fight so closely, but in the end put things right. All in all, if Manchester City falter next season, Arsenal do have a good chance of winning, but only if they don't deflate themselves
EPL is entertaining and we have just one elite team that have been dominating in all angles. Manchester City and Arsenal fought so hard to become EPL champion but Pep Guardiola earn the desirable points and they're now focused on big winnings. Mikel Arteta will go again next season and this time, he's coming for every possible outcome and ensuring he made accomplishment for Gunners.
These two teams have remained stable in the title race recently, of course City is the strongest with an experience coach which is giving them a higher chance of finishing first on the table. Their dominance in the league is something no club can take from them, but who knows if it will be possible for Arsenal to do that next season if only they will keep up to their performance.

The rest clubs are not consistent and I don't know what will be of their performance next season, since some of them is making changes in both the players and managers. I still think that we will see great surprises next season from these clubs.
85  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online casino gambling is more of profit chasers while land base is more of fun on: June 17, 2024, 07:18:25 AM
What is your opinion towards my research that online casino gambling has more of possesed players who stakes to make profits while the land base gambling is more of players who stakes for funs?
Profit chasers are everywhere, both in online and offline  gambling industry. Where I live, I've seen businessmen that abandon their office to come gamble, mostly  sole proprietors.

Gambling addiction is no respecter of settings or means of engagement. Its a wide spread virus that can catch you from anywhere. Although it can be argued from statistics that they're more online, but I'll be very quick to point out to you that offline gambling center keeps little or no such statistics, so there is no much data available for the comparison.

 If offline profit chasers data can be properly documented, you'll see that they are more than you can ever imagine.
Personally, I see gambling as what can make anyone that lack self control to become an addict, no matter the medium that you are using to gamble be it online or offline.

It is the same instinct that the online gambler has that the offline also have, which might be seeing gambling as a means of profit or as a means of entertainment. Online casino is fun gambling and there are still responsible gamblers gambling fo fun and this is the same with offline casinos, also having gamblers gambling for profit.

Are any of you betting on England for this match? If you are - you will most likely win it.
Jude Bellingham is crazy - he's been a really good player for a lot of both club and national level games. I know he is the most expensive English player at the moment - of course his market value is proportional to the quality he has. Really - Real Madrid are lucky to have him at the club, he is the difference.

Gareth Southgate seems to have great difficulty rotating his players - he has a lot of good players on the bench, while he also has good players on the pitch. What a really good line up - but unfortunately, Trent Alexander-Arnold was withdrawn first. Bokayo Saka followed, replaced by Jarrod Bowen - Harry Kane may need to be given time off to be replaced by Ollie Watkins or Cole Palmer.

A lot of people will definitely bet for England to win Serbia, which came out correctly. For me the English team didn't play to the expectations of many, Serbia nearly equalized the game because of the way they playy, England where Just managing the entire situation to maintain that 1-0 difference till the end of the match with all the stars they have both the ones sitting in the bench and the ones playing.
The good thing is, they've been able to secure their first three points, but Gareth Southgate should come up with a better tactical formation for their next match, because I didn't really feel the impact of some of the big guys during the game.
England do have all the stars of England but they will still not show in their scoreline that they have those kind of players. South Gate needs to improve in his pattern of game so that he can take advantage of his squad and win this year Euro. However, it was still a good result for the match to end 1-0 in their favor.

Kane missed a beautiful header which was stopped by the goalkeeper from enteric g the goal post. Serbia tried their best and they were able to avoid conceding more goals but dominated the second half with the intention of equalizing the goal. Unfortunately, that was not achieved as they missed some good opportunities of making it happen.
87  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: June 16, 2024, 08:49:44 PM

The performance of the Roma team under Mourinho was not as good as expected. Moreover, Mourinho's relationship with the management was not good. This is why Roma management fired a coach like Mourinho. De Rossi is not experienced enough. But that's not to say Roma won't improve with De Rossi. Maybe the Roma team players will be able to adapt themselves well to De Rossi's match strategy. Every coach has his own unique strategy.

De Rossi might be able to stabilize the team. But the Roma team is not strong enough. Roma management should definitely take necessary measures to strengthen their squad. If the squad is not strong, it is not possible to get consistent good performances from the team.
Roma must thank Mourinho, he has been able to deliver a major title that has never happened before. The Special One was also able to increase the number of spectators at the Olimpico, thereby increasing club traffic again. I think Roma management was wrong to fire him. The transfer of coaching staff to De Rossi also did not improve the Giallorossi's performance, in fact there was only a setback compared to before. I am pessimistic about this team next season and it looks like it will be difficult to compete in the top five.
The same problem that Mourinho complained about buying new players is what will still happen in Roma, if not De Rossi will not be able to be in first five next season. There are matches that Mourinho experience will make him come up with a tactics to win his opponent, but I don't think that De Rossi has such experience.

Next season will be difficult for De Rossi if he does not improve his game pattern. I might be wrong with my thoughts towards him but next season is what will determine if he can manage the Roma or not.
88  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin reserved funds are not meant for fun spending on: June 16, 2024, 08:14:52 PM
In the process of our Bitcoin accumulation, it is beneficially necessary we keep aside reserve funds. Reserved funds are money kept aside for future purposes and these incidents are likely anticipated, it is slightly distincts from emergency funds.

Most investors now successfully keep aside their reserve funds but in a way are spending from it for the wrong reasons. These funds are the primary backbone of an investor and should be carefully spent, if wastefully spent then comes the need for financial involvement whereas if there is nothing left in the reserve funds balance then the investor will be left with no option than to terminate part of his portfolio which is a wrong practice for a good investor.

Our reasons as to spending from reserved funds shouldn't be for fun or enjoyment purposes so when a more pressing financial need strikes we should be able to afford it and not cater on how to raise such an amount of money.
You are misunderstanding the difference between emergency funds and reserve funds. It is emergency funds that is very important when you are investing in bitcoin and plan to hodli for a very long time. Like you said it is emergency funds that is the back bone and should be your priority when investing.

Reserve funds is the back up to your emergency funds, and that is used to buy bitcoin when there is a dip, repairing of your car or buying a new one. Going on vacation and also going to eat in an expensive restaurant. While the emergency funds is only use when a real emergency occurs that if it is not taken care of it will lead to more destruction. Like when a storm pull off your house roof, when you lose your job, this is when your emergency funds will be spent.

Serbia vs England

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England XI: Pickford, Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier, Alexander-Arnold, Rice, Saka, Bellingham, Foden, Kane.

🇷🇸 Serbia XI: Rajkovic; Milenkovic, Veljkovic, Pavlovic; Zivkovic, S.Milinkovic-Savic, Lukic, Gudelj, Kostic; Mitrovic, Vlahovic.

Here we go again tonight, England has gather a lot great players from different great club whose names are not called twice will be facing Serbia who have won two matches, a draw and lost two games in their last five matches while England only won one match, two draw and lost two matches but this shouldn't determine England strength because all the matches played are all friendlies match which they don't seriously concentrate, but tonight let see if am right with what I have said, England have the high chances of winning this match, what is your thoughts?
Currently, England is on lead the with a goal from Bellingham and an assist from Saka. Bellingham broke the deadlock luck on the 13th minutes to give England an early goal with a good header. England have a good squad and all of them are big players which should  be an advantage for them to win Serbia. England is still attacking Serbia and they are looking forward of getting a second goal.

Serbia only had few opportunities and England is dominating the game, but Serbia is still holding their ground by not allowing England to out play them. England is having a strong defense and making it difficult for Serbia to get a good chance of striking the ball to the goal post.  England is leading with 1-0.
90  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: June 16, 2024, 06:27:43 PM
Saying Real madrid is the best team in Laliga is an underestimation, they are probably the best in the world right now.
There is nothing wrong, Real Madrid will be the best team in La Liga and Europe in the 2023-2024 season. They won the La Liga title and the Champions League, but to say they are the best in the world is probably a bit of an exaggeration in my opinion. La Liga is not competitive at all in the 2023-2024 season, the rivalry doesn't really exist because Barcelona and other teams are not in good form.

It's not because they have won the highest number of champions league or domestic league but because of the performance they display whenever they play games. They play collectively and not relying on a single player. We thought the team performance will depreciate after Ronaldo left, the same thing when Benzema left but surprisingly, the young players currently in the team make it to be more stronger than it was before during the era of their legends who left. They recently signed Mbappe finally after rumors for several months now, it's indeed an addition to Real madrid and will continue to dominate football for seasons to come.
Real Madrid's performance last season was very good with only 1 loss and 8 draws in 38 La Liga matches, I have to admit. They have a lot of money to invest in players, which clearly supports the coach's plans to win the title. But behind all that, there are teams that are losing competition due to financial problems and poor team performance throughout the season.

Next season will be easier for Real Madrid. Real Madrid can be expected to win the La Liga title easily, but it is still difficult to expect them to retain the Champions League title even though the main squad is really high quality.
Real Madrid is a rich club and that has given them the opportunity to maintain the standard of the club to the highest level in order for them to be successful in life and they are achieving it. The strength of the club have increased with the signing of Mbappe.

Barcelona will not be in a match for Real Madrid next season and I don't think that Barcelona will be able to win any trophy since they are unable to buy players that will strengthen the club more than what it is now.  Bringing a new coach will not solve the problem because it is the players that will be on the pitch.

91  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: June 16, 2024, 05:29:46 PM
The new league comes with forcing power and not hitting top targets. The Bundesliga title becomes the top ranking team. Bayern Munich will heightened the entire level of Bundesliga from next season because there'd a whole lot to achieve next season. This previous season is merely warmup and thought of lesson for Bayern Munich, the main dealing comes with fierce performance from other top sides.
Why do you call last season a warm-up for Bayern Munich, even Kane himself was willing to move to Munich to win trophies in his career. It will be very funny when you say it is a warm-up because before last season Bayern Munich always dominated the Bundesliga by winning trophies at the end of the season. Meanwhile, when Bayer Leverkusen recovered with the tactics developed by Xabi Alonso, you even said last season was a warm-up. Even though Tuchel himself always tries to win important matches so he doesn't get fired.

Yes, it's funny, when he says last season as a warmup season because after all, next season the reality is that Bayern Munich also have a new manager. It is not right to say that last season was a warmup season if their manager has also changed, unless Bayern Munich retains Tuchel then maybe it can be assumed that last season was a warmup season. But anyway, because Bayer Munich has a new manager, then of course it can be assumed that Bayern Munich is starting over from scratch with the adaptation of a new manager. With this kind of chaos, then it seems that nothing is a differentiator for Kane like at Tottenham. Because playing at Bayern Munich at least to easily get trophies but the reality remains the same, Bayern Munich is in chaos so there is no good guarantee for Bayern Munich to get trophies.
I agree with you that it is like Bayern Munich is starting all over again since a new coach was brought to take over from Tuchel. If it was Tuchel, I will say that by now he has understood the players and their capabilities on how to use and mange them to bring good results for the club, because I will say that he was learning last season.

Kompany is on a new club which he is meeting these players for the first time to coach them and he will need time to learn about these players and their strengths to know how he can fit them into his game tactics, which will not be something easy. This is why I still think that next season will not be a victorious season for Bayern Munich because the other clubs are also ready to win the league.
92  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set a specific bankroll before gambling or not? on: June 16, 2024, 04:51:21 PM
Please share your experience whether positive or negative and what you learn from it.
I do have a gamble budget which I always cut out from my income when I get paid at the end of the month. I only use 3% and sometimes 5%. This has helped me to gamble responsible and also to have self control over my gambling activities, because whenever I exhaust the money I don't gamble until it is refilled at the right time.

I also have a time limit for my gambling activities so that I don't get carried away with the fun incase I am winning. The moment the time elapses, I stop gambling no matter if I am winning or losing. It is a good practice which is working for me to reduce my losses.
93  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy Bitcoin, and HODL! on: June 16, 2024, 03:45:00 PM
These are different strategies in accumulating Bitcoin. Some investors use DCA strategy, others prefer buying the DIP strategy, while some DCA and also reserves funds to also buy during the DIP and some accumulate with lump-sum (Rich folks). All these approach are decisions made individually with what suits our bitcoin investment goals.
It is not only rich folks that buy bitcoin with the DCA strategy; even a newbie can start his bitcoin investment with a lump-sum strategy in some situations. For instance, if a newbie starts accumulating bitcoin late, he or she can decide to do a lump sum buy on bitcoin to accumulate a good quantity of stash before the bitcoin price is too high, and he or she will continue accumulating bitcoin with the DCA strategy.
If a new bitcoin investor has a lump sum of money it can be easy for him to accumulate more stash in a short period of time. Basically if you want to invest in Bitcoin and get more profit, you should buy a lump sum. In addition DCA strategy allows you to regularly accumulate bitcoins which is the bulk of disposable income. If your floating money is sufficient. You may find it difficult to get dips in terms of investment so you can start accumulating bitcoins through DCAing. For a long time.
For those who are new to bitcoin investing, I must say that before investing in bitcoins, you need to acquire enough knowledge about bitcoin.
A new beginner who wants to invest in bitcoin does not need to acquire enough knowledge before he starts investing. He should start right away as long has he has his money ready. The reason is the there is no time wasting in learning too much about bitcoin and use that to deprive your from starting your bitcoin journey right away. This is because you can be learning about bitcoin as you are accumulating and growing your bitcoin investment.

You are already late to bitcoin so why do you still want to delay the opportunity that you have to start and grow your portfolio overtime. Bitcoin knowledge is complex and cannot be learnt in one year, and since you are on a long term journey, you only need to know the basic which is how to buy and which wallet to use that is safe to store your bitcoin, and how to transfer your bitcoin to your self custody wallet, cold storage is the best. Whatever area of bitcoin that you are interested in, you can learn it with ease and not in a rush because your are accumulating continuously.

A new investor that has a good financial management and always save money in the bank or anywhere for a long time whenever he gets paid, will easily invest in bitcoin using DCA strategy by putting that amount of money that he is always saving into buying bitcoin regularly weekly or monthly consistently and persistently. For those new beginners who are not used to saving some part of their income, what they need is to make a proper calculation on how much of their discretionary income that they will use to buy bitcoin that will make them be able to invest regularly and increase their bitcoin portfolio overtime.

It's also important to remember that Bitcoin is still a relatively new and volatile asset class. As such, it's crucial for investors to diversify their portfolios and not put all their eggs in one basket.
It is not important to diversify your bitcoin portfolio into other assest that is not in the same line with bitcoin. It is a matter of choice by that  investor. You should also note that a new beginner in his bitcoin journey or a low coiner should not think of diversifying and should only focus on one investment which is building his bitcoin portfolio to a certain level before he diversify if he chooses to do so. If in the early age of your bitcoin journey, you start diversifying, you will lose focus on which investment to focus on and that will lead to a poor outcome in the long run due to lack of proper planning before diversifying.
94  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A man is unable to collect his price cos he forget where he bought the ticket. on: June 16, 2024, 03:17:53 PM
I noticed on the news that a man won a lottery and when he arrived to claim his prize, he was requested to state or provide information about where he purchased the lottery ticket, which he couldn't do because he didn't know where he obtained it. It drew my interest, and I wondered if forum users could still tell where they purchased all of their lottery tickets in the previous six months (For those who still engage if physical tickets).
That's not possible!!! What sort of extension games would take 6 months to be settled? It's either you just made up the duration or the storyline isn't just correct.


According to the article “ Zhou purchased a Lotto 6/49 ticket in April of 2023 ::/:: In October he submitted a claim to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) to collect his winnings of $1,186” - if you do the maths that’s approximately 6 months, the article didn’t state when the game was drawn (we don’t even know what type of lottery it is, if it’s one that’s drawn weekly or not) so I’m not sure what date the winning ticket was announce thus the reason I used 6 months in my post. The whole issue dragged up till a year, before being settled after the media got involved.
Then it is possible for the man to forget where he got his lottery ticket from because maybe he was in somewhere at that time and decided to buy a lottery ticket. The time period is damn long for anyone to make the same mistake, as long as you are used to buying lottery tickets in random places.

The one I have heard of is about someone that lost his ticket and he won a huge amount of money. He was denied his win and that was the gambler's fault. This is why I don't like a bet that take long time before the result will be out.

96  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Limited supply of Bitcoin more of a disadvantage than an advantage. on: June 15, 2024, 08:23:18 PM


1. This 21million design will prevent a wider spread of Bitcoin adoption,
2. It will cause larger price movements and reduced the liquidity of Bitcoin,
I know this design was aimed at promoting the value and scarcity of Bitcoin, but it will hinder the growth and wider spread of Bitcoin  from generations to come,

So my people how una see am?
The 21 million can go round to whoever wants to buy bitcoin because bitcoin can be bought in fraction. You must not buy one whole bitcoin but you can buy in Satoshi. That is if you have $10 you can buy bitcoin. This is where bitcoin is unique because it is divisible.

You should also take note that it is not everybody that will love to buy bitcoin, because no matter bitcoin becomes more valuable some people will prefer the old fiat currency because that is what they are used to. So don't let that bother you because the 21 million is enough to go round to whoever wants to buy bitcoin. It is just the price that will be more expensive overtime and this is why you need to start accumulating your own bitcoin.
97  Economy / Speculation / Re: Road to 100k? on: June 15, 2024, 07:53:22 PM
.
Well the BTC price had already gone up a lot prior to the halvening.. so whether it continued to go up or not seems almost like a non-event.. meaning that realistically, you could not necessarily have high expectations either way, even if some folks might have had high expectations.... sounds like a big so what to me.  I would not be engaging in my own bitcoin preparations merely based on expectations of others that may or may not end up playing out.

Might we say that the BTC price reached a high price of $73,794 on March 13, 2024, so then it has largely been bouncing around in the $60k to $70k range in the past 3 months.. or maybe we could suggest that the BTC price broke above $53k in the end up February 2024, so add a couple more weeks to the analysis that BTC prices still have largely been ranging in the $60k to $70k arena for that whole time which is 3.5 months and so why might we be wanting to make further assessments for why or whether or what direction that BTC prices might be going when it seems to largely be at the top of its range and close to its ATH for the whole last 3.5 months, and 3.5 months is not even a very long time in the whole scheme of things in terms of consolidations.. and whether we get a break up or down from here is still to be determined, while at the same time, it still seems quite clear that an overwhelming majority of the world's population (maybe somewhere in the ballpark of 99%) still does not have any or enough bitcoin... but what can we tell those lowcoiner/no coiner people.. since they still seem to be failing/refusing to buy any bitcoin, yet those of us who know about bitcoin still can be ongoingly buying it in the event that we are still building our bitcoin stash size.

There's another interesting angle to this discussion. While Bitcoin has proven to be remarkably resilient over the years, there are still factors that could potentially shake the market. Government regulations, technological advancements (or setbacks), and shifting public perception are just a few of the wildcards that could affect Bitcoin's future trajectory.

That being said, Bitcoin's decentralized and open-source nature provides a level of robustness and adaptability that traditional financial systems lack. This is why many BTC proponents remain optimistic about its potential, even in the face of uncertainty.The second point you brought up—the vast majority of the world's population still having little to no exposure to BTC—is also worth considering. With BTC still in the early stages of adoption, there's a lot of potential for growth in the future. However, getting the masses to understand and adopt Bitcoin is a long and complex process.

It's true that Bitcoin enthusiasts can continue to stack sats regardless of market conditions, as long-term hodling is a viable strategy. But it would be naïve to assume that everyone will suddenly see the value of Bitcoin and jump on board. Bitcoin is currently at a critical point in its journey. The price is consolidating at historically high levels, but the future is far from certain.

While it's important to remain vigilant of potential market disruptors, Bitcoin's inherent characteristics provide a strong foundation for long-term growth and adoption. At the same time, we must acknowledge that adoption is a slow and complex process, and the world's population is still largely unaware of Bitcoin's potential.

For those already in the know, however, continuing to stack sats and diversify one's portfolio is a prudent strategy.

I disagree with you that bitcoin is still in his early stage of adoption that was before not now anymore. More people have come to know about bitcoin and they have also adopted bitcoin. Only bitcoin ETF approval in the US have made the whole world to know about bitcoin. Do you know how many countries lunched their bitcoin ETF after US did. Do you check the regular daily cash inflow and from the ETFs very massive.

Only the US alone is enough to make bitcoin more popular with the way they are going about the privacy in bitcoin by shutting down Mixers and some services that promotes decentralization. I guess you are still new to bitcoin and you don't know what is happening. It is only the old ones that might not be aware of bitcoin, but the youths a much aware. Down in my street and my environment 13yrs and above already knows and talk about bitcoin. Bitcoin is advertising herself now with her great potential as fiat depreciates. El Salvador have their country reserve funds in bitcoin, meaning everyone in El Salvador knows about bitcoin and the neighboring countries.

Bitcoin price is increasing because more people are buying.

I already know that sacking Finidi George by NFF will be what comes next after having disappointing results for the Super Eagles. This is so bad that it's only a foreign coach who knows how to play the Super Eagles team to be formidable. However, let's see whether the Super Eagles will peradventure pull it through at the top of the Group C table Since there are 6 remaining matches to play
It looks like he has already been sacked, and there are new coaches under consideration because we need to win our next 6 games.

According to the Vanguard, Finidi George resigned from his job as Super Eagles coach this morning. I think he didn’t want to wait for the NFF to humiliate him any further before sacking him. I also a video online of Victor Osimhen explaining why he was absent from the games and says he has evidence of his correspondence with Finidi George in regards to his absence. I don’t think Finidi George would have continue to be the manager even if he didn’t quit, a sack letter would have been issued anyway.
He made a fast move instead of waiting for him to be sacked first, because definitely he will be sacked. I don't know what is wrong with NFF, Nigeria ex-players should not be given the opportunity to coach the super Eagles because it will be a failure. If NFF are serious and wants the team to come out with good results, they need to hire a foreign coach.

As Nigerians, we know that the foreign coaches understand the technical aspect of football better than our former Nigeria players. It is just that NFF are confused and do not know what they are doing, which I might say that some of those NFF officials are incompetent and don't know what the national team needs to become successful.

Croatia didn't start the game badly indeed.
I was expecting a good fight from Croatia, but they are not playing up to the mark. It looks like the 2nd half is boring. Still no score and significant attack too. Hopefully there will be one or two more goals. Let's see.

/*edit/*
Missed penalty but scored but then VAR, no goal. Nothing is going in Croatia's favor.
The swcimd half ended goalless and Spain was able to walk away with three goals which they scored in the first half. The second half was boring until when the penalty kick came in, but luck was not still on Croatia as they lost the penalty because the goalkeeper was able to punch it out. An offside led to cancelation of the goal scored after the Spanish goalkeeper punched it out.

Croatia lost focus in the first half and that cost them a lot because before they realized it, three goals was already inside their net. I am looking forward to watch Italy match coming up soon.

I don't think Barcelona have the strength of moving around in transfer window because of their financial situation now, even before the starting of the season it should be better Barcelona to agree to just stay behind real Madrid because they can stand it, second place is for them the earlier the believe it better for them, Real Madrid are currently the most strongest teams all over the world not Laliga alone, and they are fit to play and win any of the competition without any fear. Among all the leagues, I think only home league required a consistent performance to be able to maintain it, and already they are built in that.

I agree with you. I think with Barcelona's current form and their financial status I think it will be very difficult for them to try to match Real Madrid. In fact, Real Madrid is the best team in the world at the moment and with Mbappe joining next season there is almost no doubt that they will become La Liga champions again next season. I think even Real Madrid can get a treble winner next season by winning the Copa Del Rey and the Champions League. Mbappe will take Real Madrid to a different level next season.
Anything is possible for Real Madrid next season because they gat all the best players in their team. I also expect to see them win treble next season, and if they don't it means that they did not take the advantage of their strength in those competitions.

Barcelona might still experience what happened to them this past season, in which they ended the season with no trophy. This is because Real Madrid added top class players to their team even after winning the champions league with players that Barcelona was unable to defeat. I pity for Barcelona as they are facing financial difficulties.
