I reckon France have learned their lesson with Portugal and will not underestimate Croatia tonight. People like to support underdogs I guess and that's why Croatia have the sympathy of many fans over the world. Croatia made a great run but the fairy-tale will end here. They should be proud of their great achievement.
I am going with HT 0-0, HT/FT Draw/France and France FT. If this match ends in another 1-1 tie it will be very, very funny 

Now come to think of it, Croatia definitely won the lottery of easy opponents. Denmark and Russia were nothing to write home about and yet Croatia drew 1-1 twice in regulation time and had to pray to God the penalty shootouts were in their favour. England had the lead and they squandered it away in the final minutes. By the way, when England and Belgium played the group stage game with their B teams it was nothing more than a friendly match if you ask me. So maybe that match doesn't count haha.
I still can't believe Croatia are actually in the final. It should have been Belgium. Well, in that case, I am for France tomorrow haha  

Congratulations to Belgium on the 3rd place. Still bummed they are not playing the final... My absolute favorite team of this World Cup. Belgium have a Golden generation of great footballers and they deserve to win something big. Hopefully that will be the next EURO tourney in 2020 fingers crossed  Had they faced an easier knockout bracket without the likes of France they would have advanced to the final. 
And England are so lucky to have made it to the final 4. Well, football is coming home without medals

I see the vultures have started circling over the prey...

So you think having green trust or more merits is equal to higher IQ? Do you want me to show you a quote of a high-ranking member without negative trust who said that Lionel Messi's last chance to win with Argentina is Euro 2020?

Gentlemen I have been betting on Sportsbet.io since its beta test and you are trying to get my spot? Aren't you ashamed of yourselves?  

Oh wait, you have green trust and merit points. You must be real smart and know what you are talking about  

I heard that Domagoj Vida recorded the questionable video in the locker room after the match in the presence of a staff member of the Croatia national team who was later fired and sent home. I don't think Vida will be banned over what he said in that video though because Xhaka and Shaqiri weren't banned for making the double eagle signs when they celebrated their goals against Serbia. I think they or the Swiss football association were fined I am not completely sure.  And by the way did you notice how the fans booed Vida every time he touched the ball during the Croatia - England semi-final? I have to admit that the Turkish referee allowed the play to get too rough and should have shown more cards.

I think Bitcoin is not ready yet to be considered a popular payment method. In its current state Bitcoin is more suitable as an investment vehicle rather than a replacement for fiat money. My opinion about the 3 functions when related to Bitcoin:
medium of exchange - very limited as only few retailers online or offline accept Bitcoin as payment
store of value - the price of Bitcoin fluctuates wildly and it would be hard to use it for small daily purchases like bubblegum, coffee, cigarettes etc.
unit of account - because the supply of Bitcoin is limited to 21 million coins there might be shortages of available coins in the future if more people would like to deal in Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin might need to be denominated in new subunits smaller than a satoshi in order to accommodate the increase in demand and/or price.

OP I don't know what bank your uncle is using but 10% interest in 1 year is incredible. Mind sharing where you are from and the name of the bank? I will immediately hop on a plane and open a long-term savings account there. As for your Bitcoin investment, I think it's risky to put all your uncle's eggs into 1 basket. Bitcoin is very volatile and your uncle might need to wait quite some time if things go south. What if he needs emergency cash and you have to sell Bitcoin at a loss? Diversified investment portfolio is a better option with less risk involved.

People can buy Bitcoin from some designated newspaper kiosks in Germany, Austria and Australia I think. You can exchange paper money and load the Bitcoin onto the wallet installed on your mobile device and use it straight away. It's completely useless to carry around Bitcoin paper wallets in areas with no Internet connection. It's too much hassle and you would be better off using your paper money or bank cards.
Being able to buy Bitcoin in the street with cash is a fantastic opportunity for the unbanked to get their hands on some Bitcoin without having to purchase it online.

I am rooting for Belgium as well. When Belgium and England played in the group stage the managers had the B teams out on the pitch so that result can't be very indicative of who the clear favorite is even though that is obviously Belgium because they have better players on paper. I expect England and Belgium to engage in an open match without parking the bus by either side. I hope we will see glorious attacking football and may the better team win 

England were so pathetic that they made Croatia look great in the 2nd half of the match after the equalizer by Perisic. England had only 1 shot on goal the entire game. France are in another league skill-wise and I doubt their forwards will be as fruitless as the English but never say never I guess. Props to Croatia for these 3 consecutive 1-1 matches that were so entertaining to watch. I think the French will take this one. Heck it would be devastating to lose 2 finals in 2 years.

Payment received, great campaign manager, looking forward to the next one!

My prediction:

World Champion - France
Runner-up: Croatia
3rd place: Belgium
It's coming home: England 

I was really surprised by the fortitude of the Croatian team. England didn't have a shot on goal the whole match and extra time except for that goal scored by Trippier. Okay now unless some major botch-up happens France should be the winners. Croatia have had so much luck it's unbelievable.

Belgium had 60% possession and only 9 goal attempts while France had 40% possession and 19 goal attempts. I think Belgium's manager Roberto Martinez knew that his team might have problems in the back against the speedy French attackers like Mbappe and Griezmann and he tried to slow down the game with Belgium holding the ball more. I think he got his tactics wrong for the match though. Belgium should have let France be in their half of the field most of the time and then try to score on the counter attack.

I am gonna wager the same as in yesterday's game - HT 0-0 and under 2.5 goals in the Croatia - England semi-final tonight. Croatia seem to have great difficulties scoring goals in the knockout stage and after these 2 games gone to extra time and penalties I guess they will be kinda tired. England are my favorites to make it to the final. I think they will win by a goal or 2 in the 2nd half. England to win @ 2.35 is also nice. Good luck everyone.

Haha mate I nailed both my bets tonight. It wasn't a bold move just a carefully calculated one. When 2 strong attacking sides face each other it's better to play it safely in the back than trying to outscore the opposition. And an important reminder - these superstars can have a bad day and not score a goal.

Real Madrid want to sign Neymar before they let Cristiano Ronaldo go. I thought PSG were happy with Neymar? Are they going to sell him after just 1 completed season at the club? Wow that's strange. Or perhaps Real will offer them a boatload of money they just can't refuse haha.

Hmm guys I don't know which alternate dimension you are watching the World Cup from but all of the aforementioned teams have already flown home haha   The semi-finals are France - Belgium tonight and Croatia - England tomorrow.

My educated guess is France and England to meet at the final and Belgium to win the 3rd place. However I would love to see Belgium - England at the final with the Belgians winning the whole thing.
