Japan played its second match and is currently two goals ahead of Costa Rica, Costa Rika must catch up with Japan if they want to keep the chance of qualifying from the group phase because losing to Japan will ensure they will be eliminated from the World Cup this time, but catching up is not easy because Japan is playing very well with defense and attack that is just as good, Costa Rika has not been able to make a single shot that can be on target so the second half must be a change from Costa Rica, but unfortunately as far as I have seen no team has managed to make a comeback after being left behind.

The next game after this is Spain vs Zambia, if Spain wins, so the third match is no longer important, especially if Japan wins too, then the third match between Zambia vs Costa Rica will not have any impact on group C because it is certain that Japan and Spain will qualify and the other two teams will be eliminated, the second match in group c is quite decisive.

I watched the video on twitter. It’s a good thing whatever he had consumed didn’t claim his life but he should have been taken to the hospital asap instead of allowing him lay there. He doesn’t look good.

Sadly, you’re right. News like this would continue to appear all over. People with irresponsible behaviors would in a bid to gamble more and in the process become reckless, take out loans from loan sharks cause no reputable financial institution would lend money out for the purpose of gambling. That’s where loan sharks come in. They’ve got money to lend when no one would seemingly lend you.

I think I could understand a little how pressured one may feel to go to the extent of taking his own life. In a lot of cases, suicide wouldn’t automatically clear the debt taken from a loan shark. The family of the deceased would sometimes be pressured to pay up the loan. A person under the heavy pressure of owing huge debts to unsavory people perhaps along with gambling addiction would think taking him out of the picture would solve everything. In a lot of cases, it doesn’t.

The whole of football world is anxiously awaiting the outcome of Harry Kane and Mbappe as the countdown to the forthcoming transfer window intensifies. Without a doubt both players clubs are uneasy about their probable departures. Fans of Bayern Munich naturally want to see Kane join the team but it is important to realise that the team is still very strong even without his addition. They can remain Bundesliga competitors if they have a strong team and capable management. Harry Kane has made a significant contribution to Tottenham, and it will not be simple to get him to leave. To improve their competitive prowess among the best in Europe Bayern Munich management must go above and beyond in their pursuit of the captain of the English national team.

If the reports about Mbappe and Al-Hilal's bid are correct, PSG has already accepted the 300 million and warranted Mbappe the right to have negotiations with Al-Hilal. For PSG it looks as if it is about the money and that they want to get rid of him at the right price. The discussions about him and also the attacks against each other between PSG and Mbappe are not very promising should they end up spending another season together. Mbappe will let the clock run down now and force all interested parties to raise their offer as long as they can.

I think Napoli will be the most important player in this transfer window because there were many teams linked to this played and because of his performance we were even expecting to see a team like Real Madrid send him an offer to have Victor Osimhen for the next season but because of the huge amount of money, Napoli asks for this player that's a big hard for the team to even think about this player.

Syalom

Salam kenal semuanya, nama saya Jacqueline Tjoa.

Baru beberapa hari yang lalu saya mendapatkan tawaran pekerjaan di salah satu start-up asal singapore, sebelumnya saya bekerja untuk agensi periklanan dan karena saat ini saya akan bekerja dengan perusahaan kripto, saya terpaksa harus mempelajari banyak hal tentang kripto.

Every Bitcoin holder has to learn about cyber security. There are so many phrases like not your keys not your coins. There are topics covering how to secure your private keys, how to be careful and watch out for phishing emails, links, scams, keylogger and many others. For me the two most important reasons why every bitcoiners should take a personal course on cyber security are because crypto wallets are attractive to hackers and cybercriminals. Secondly, malwares and keyloggers ...there are too many malwares that try to record our details from the backend without our knowledge. Lastly, if the keys is yours, then the coins are yours, it lies on you take a cybersecurity course to learn sophisticated ways to protect your non-custodial wallet that has your coins.

I think that there has never been a time when bitcoiners should take personal Cyber security courses not for commercial purposes but for personal reasons for them to learn how to stay protected and secure their crypto assets.
What do you think?

In the pre-season match, Chelsea looked better than Brighton, of course with the arrival of the new coach, Chelsea seemed to have risen slightly from last season's downturn. My hope was that when the EPL started, Chelsea could really be much better than last season, while Arsenal suffered a defeat in the pre-season match against Manchester United yesterday. I think Arteta has to really evaluate that to be able to perform better in the EPL and UCL later.

So far Liverpool with the current squad team, I'm sure they are able to show the quality of their playing especially that they will also play besides the EPL in other championships such as the European league, apart from that Manchester City will definitely perform well in pre-season matches later, of course with the current squad team Guardiola is quite sure that their team can be much better than last season. 

The success that Manchester City achieved last season was the result of the hard work they have done so far, Pep Guardiola's role is certainly inseparable from the success achieved by Manchester City. I can't say Manchester City was the best team last season, but after seeing the reality and the results that Manchester City got in several competitions, people can draw conclusions with the results that have been achieved.

In a match unexpected things always happen, Inter Milan has played well throughout the match, but the result of not being good at taking advantage of opportunities made Manchester City take advantage of the mistakes made by Inter Milan players. Surprise after surprise will return this season, the clubs that failed last season have reorganized their squad to face the challenges of the new season.

But does it really matter whether Real Madrid would pay 180 million or 220 million? I think that Mbappe would be worth the money for lots of reasons. There is all the merchandise sales and Real Madrid would again be this club that was able to sign the best players in the world like they have done many times in the past. Their reputation would benefit again from that transfer and Mbappe brings in his following from his social media and he would not only be a good deal for Real Madrid, but for the whole league.

The earlier we understand that bitcoin is not for everyone, the better because it saves us the time and energy that we would have used to convince those who are uninterested, to move on to those who are interested and it can also drive adoption faster. I've read some threads here of some people trying to convince their family members on the positives of Bitcoin and get enraged if the said members don't share the same opinion as them but I feel everyone is entitled to his opinion and while some regard Bitcoin with outright disgust like Charlie Munger, there are some who care less of it's existence.

Bitcoiners have the opportunity to stand for something and that's eliminating the need for central authorities such as the government and banks and rather than forcing everyone to confirm to their beliefs, it's better to find an audience worth serving. What's your take, guys?

The funny thing is that Real Madrid is well aware that PSG is at an impasse, so they don’t even make proposals for the transfer of Mbappe  Real Madrid is trying to squeeze all the juice out of this situation and it looks like they are succeeding. Even if they don't buy him now (I think they will), they will get him in a year, and PSG, which looked like a triumphant year ago, turned out to be a complete loser, since all options are not in their favor.

Right we are gambling just with a hope to win otherwise we are putting all the funds at stake through our wager so we should be prepared for the loss and don't fee too much bad about it afterwards.If you win that's your luck but be prepared for loss scenario always.

Loosing money always hurts, but that is why you only need to gamble with money that you are prepared to loose. If you go to Vegas, your mindset just needs to be on having fun and having a budget that you want to spend on gambling; but you always you need to be prepared to loose it all as that is what most likely will happen.

I don't know where you are from but in some parts of the world, women who gamble are seen as sinners and men, there, can' accept that a woman has the right to gamble and there is nothing wrong about it. I'm not talking about developing countries because in some developed countries men also think the same way. They can't accept the fact that a woman can afford to gamble and assume her responsibility when she loses.

Mistake is inevitable, if there is no mistake there is no correction, that is, people make mistake and through the mistake, corrections are made. Most users submit their post without cross checking the write up. So in many times omissions occurred and some ungrammatical statement occurred and English speaking users see them as trash, shit post without correction. It is better you reread you work before posting to avoid mistake. Be a good poster. Avoid mistake. But mistake is inevitable. It most come but not always.

My new thought about the low investors rate on Bitcoin, this came to my mind this evening and I want to share my thoughts with everyone and not keeping it alone.
Bitcoin investors are much more than altcoins we all know that but thats not important, the important thing is Bitcoin is supposed to have more investors now if only their was no altcoins in the market, if you checked the numbers of investors you will understand what am trying to say. The competition in the market is making more investors not to invest more capital on Bitcoin.
If we use our fiat banks as an example, imagine we have only one bank in the country every citizens will want to open the bank and starts using it but if the banks are more people will spread and use other Banks.
If there's only Bitcoin in the market more investors will invest in Bitcoin because there is no competition. Although the price rate is much more than other coin, but people will still invest on altcoins because that's how Bitcoin price started so low.

I even have a few female friends who are working from home. They say they work from home to help their husband earn money, and as long as it doesn't interfere with their household chores, it's not a problem, and on average, they can have extra income from working from home. And those who work from home are very good at managing their expenses, and when I asked them about gambling, they said they had never gambled because they and their husbands had committed never to gamble. After all, it could harm their lives. And I respect their decision. But perhaps other female friends don't want to admit that they also sometimes play gambling in their spare time but still within reasonable limits.

I forgot there was an off-topic board

But it's very quiet there. I'm not sure anyone wants to discuss there. I myself also just realized that there is an off-topic board after more than a month in this forum

I came across an article How Old Do You Have to Be to Gamble in USA?. In this article, i saw that the minimum age to gamble is between 18 to 21 years. I wonder if the online casino do follow this minimum age for gambling.

Yes, the gambling sites have our age data through the KYC documents. Do they ever restrict anyone who is underage to not to gamble?
Also, if we find any site allowing minors to gamble, can legal action be taken against them?
