The rumours of Ronaldo leaving Manchester United is not on the rise anymore, every other rumour circulating the media is by journalist to make money. Ronaldo is no longer under pressure to leave Manchester United because he has started seeing playing time. The misunderstanding between him and the coach is settled we should expect a good football from Ronaldo by next season. The only club that may buy Ronaldo is Chelsea because they are very much interested in him.
I don't even know if Chelsea might be interested in Ronaldo considering his age and wages, there were rumors that the new hierarchy at the club admires Ronaldo and wanted to sign him for Tuchel which he refused and that prolly had a part to play in him losing his job, right now i don't know if Todd Boehly is still interested, and if Graham Potter will want a player with a big personality and ego like Ronaldo.

Having said that, the January winter transfer window will answer all questions considering Ronaldo's future, i don't think he and Erik Ten Hag are getting along on a personal note, but it looks like they are on a professional note as Ronaldo is now getting a fair amount of game time and respect that his big personality demands. I'd love to see what happens after the WC, but i am pretty sure that in order to avoid any further altercation betwen the club and Ronaldo, he will be informed if he is part of their plans or not early enough, so he can leave if he is not happy with the plans for him.

Liverpool are unlucky to match Real Madrid again after they have been beaten and eliminated twice by Real Madrid in the past two seasons they have been matched again this season at this early stage of the Champions League. This could be another humilating game or a revenge match for Liverpool against Real Madrid. One way or the other Liverpool will give in their best in this match to get a positive outcome.
I am pretty sure even UEFA the organizing body would not be happy with this fixture because one of these two superpowers will be eliminated so early in the competition (RO16 stage), they'd also not be happy with the other heavyweight clash between PSG and Bayern Munich, they'd love to see all these four teams in the QF stage at least, it makes the competition more interesting and competitive.

Having said that, it is what it is, and we can have only two of them in the QF stage. It is actually very difficult to predict which of these teams will make it through, but with the way Liverpool are performing i think it is going to be pretty much difficult for them to eliminate the defending champions, things might be entirely different after the WC and by the time we start the RO16 fixtures, but if it does remain the same i think Liverpool would be an easy opponent for Real Madrid, as for PSG v Bayern, that one is unpredictable for now imo.

Thomas Tuchel wasn't doing anything positive
I completely disagree with you, Tuchel won the CL with Chelsea because he had a working strategy/philosophy, and not because of anything else, Frank Lampard didn't last long enough for you to claim he built a team that Tuchel then used in winning the trophy, when a manager wins a trophy for a club, even after just joining the team, that trophy is won out of his hardwork and imo has nothing to do with the previous manager.

Having said that, Tuchel is a better manager than Potter in every aspect, Chelsea played better football under Tuchel than they are doing now, the way i see it i believe that Potter is more of a small club manager rather than a big team like Chelsea. You can agree with me that there was no need to fire Tuchel, it was only because the new hierarchy at the club wanted to establish their authority, well i don't think time will benefit Potter, and in a year or so we could start seeing Chelsea fans asking for Potter to be sacked.

Bayern happen to be the only club that finished their group stage without a draw nor lose. Mancity, Benfica and PSG had two draws each. This doesn't stop the fact that they all have equal chances but the possibility of Bayern playing in the finals is higher compared to other club. The have the highest game composure and team understanding in the champions League
Well i don't quite agree with you, whilst Bayern Munich are an absolute powerhouse in the CL, they do not have a higher chance of playing in the final than the other big teams in the tournament, at least not this season because of their RO16 opponent, Bayern come up against PSG, a game that is 50/50 for both teams, thus it is very possible that Bayern could crash out of the CL at the RO16 stage.

Having said that, i think in the Bayern v PSG game the pressure is on PSG, because when they were eliminated last season the players had to endure a lot of abuse from their own fans, even Neymar was booed by his own fans, it showed the players that the fans want that elusive CL trophy, and only that can make them happy, the players will be afraid not to crash out yet again, and what the implications of an exit could be, well like i said the game is 50/50, and it is well about anyone's game.

Conte must focus on this problem of the team also. They don't have big problems on defeating smaller teams obviously. However they just can't do the same to their biggest rivals in the league now. Tottenham have a really strong squad actually. They have the strength to upset all of those teams. Conte just needs to develop new strategies depending on their opponents.
Well, imo Conte himself is the problem with the team, i have always had an issue with his footballing philosophies/ideologies because i think he tends to always set up his teams to be on the defensive rather than attack, a team like Spurs with a plethora of talented players should not always take the negative approach.

Having said that, i think the reason they do well against smaller teams is because that tactics can work against them, but it won't work against a bigger team that can hold possession very good, and if Conte continues with that approach, i am afraid they will struggle to win any trophies and could even miss out on a top four finish.

I don't think Frankfurt will be a serious obstacle for Napoli and just because Frankfurt beat Celtic doesn't mean they can beat Napoli. True, this game is still four months away and no one knows how things will go for both clubs. But I think Napoli are in contention to play in the final this season.
Well with the way Napoli are firing on all cylinders nobody can doubt the fact that they are a big threat in the CL this season, i for one would not want my team to meet them in any stage of the CL this season, i don't think they might get to the final, but if they do not have such a tough opponent in the QF, i think they will go as far as the SF and that could prolly be where their tournament will come to an end, as for their RO16 tie with Frankfurt, it is going to be a pretty straightforward victory for Napoli, except they capitulate so bad and lose quite a lot of form and momentum before the game, otherwise they are already sure of a QF spot.
1868  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Your take on Bitcoin adoption trust issues on: November 07, 2022, 09:17:13 PM
Based on the conversation, I found out that the biggest challenge currently within Bitcoin adoption in those Communities is trust issues, It's extremely difficult and hard for people to agree and come to term with anything that has to do with Bitcoin most especially as a result of those government approved school scheme for sensitization about the danger of digital currencies, Thereby corrupting the minds of those young ones
Well people who have trust/risk concern issues haven't done their own research, they only rely on the negative information and propaganda highlighted in the media and by the Government about Bitcoin. People do not have to agree/trust what other people say about Bitcoin, the network is open source and decentralized, they can verify whatever and also be a part of the network. what is required of them is to do their own research, they can't have trust/risk concern issues when they don't even understand a thing about the network.
1869  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can we see a huge rise in the price of Dogecoin ? on: November 07, 2022, 06:10:46 PM
Do you think one should bet on this event and spend good amount of money on dogecoin for reaping the benefits later ? Or we should not rely on a man like Elon Musk who has made contradictory statements about bitcoin is past? Which side are you ?
I don't think one should bet on a crypto because one person is causing hype and promoting it, what a very risky thing to do, this can be akin to manipulation, and it doesn't end well. When a coin can be manipulated by one or a few persons, then mind you that the same coin can likewise crash due to the actions and influence of that person or a few people too, it goes both ways and anything can happen.

Having said that, if you believe there is a new hype coming that would pump Dogecoin then you can invest, but for the short term, because hype never lasts long, especially when it is driven by one man, if you want to spend a good amount of money on a coin and reap the benefits in the long run you should look at coins that have an actual utility and aren't basically driven by solely hype/manipulation.

Dortmund is considered as weaker than Chelsea. They don't have a strong striker like Haaland and it is a disadvantage for them. Chelsea have better players than Dortmund and they will be a favorite team for gamblers. Anyway, in football, surprise is the most interesting thing and we can wait for surprise from Dortmund. It is supported by unstable performance of Chelsea in this season.
These are exactly what i said. But i for one isn't expecting any upset from Dortmund in this game, i think it is going to be a pretty straightforward victory for Chelsea, though i am not expecting the blues to go farther than the QF, or at best, the SF, except if they come back really strong after the world cup and prolly make a couple of good signings in the winter transfer window to lift the team, because right now they are pretty very low in confidence.
1872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: November 07, 2022, 12:26:06 PM
This is the end of the road for Chelsea in the Champions League unfortunately. Dortmund over Chelsea.
I don't really think so, whilst Dortmund are a very decent team, i think you'd be asking too much of them to eliminate Chelsea in the RO16 stage in the CL, i know Chelsea are not in their best moment currently, but they remain a powerhouse in the CL, and are one of the strongest teams in the tournament. Mind you also that this round of fixtures will be played next year, after the WC, so quite a lot could have changed for Chelsea in terms of team momentum and morale, and they could prolly be back to the same Chelsea that we know, i'm afraid i think Chelsea are winning this tie all day long.

Chelsea was never a threat to Arsenal in yesterday 's match, the gunners dominated the match from the start to finish unfortunately only managed to score a lone goal, from all indications now Arsenal had improved tremendously while playing top teams in EPL in contrast with the performance against top teams in the previous seasons
Arsenal have improved in absolutely every aspect of their game, Mikel Arteta is worthy of an awful anount of credit for what he is doing this season, they struggled at the beginning of last season and only began to improve towards the end, though they were unable to crown it with a place in this season's CL; but this season is in sharp contrast to how they started the last one, they look like a completely different team, and even people who didn't believe in them are now believing that they are indeed title contenders.

Having said that, post Tuchel era and it seems Chelsea have gone some steps backward, i know Potter has lost just twice, but i haven't seen Chelsea play well under him, even in the games they didn't lose, they aren't playing like a big team, and it might prolly not be long before we start seeing "Potter out" placards at their games.
1874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: November 07, 2022, 07:13:55 AM
Liverpool each struggle with their front lines, Nunez still hasn't contributed anything to Liverpool so it's very difficult for them to be included in potential champion candidates, while Napoli is an inconsistent team, we know in the last few seasons they have played normally but in this season they are looking good, if Napoli meets a big team like Madrid, PSG or Bayern, Napoli will surely lose.
Nunez hasn't been all that bad, he has scored a couple of goals and assisted some too, and if you judge his contribution with the minutes he has been restricted too, you'd understand that he has been somewhat impressive, though when i watch him i see that he still has a lot of work to do in order to become a better player, his decision making sometimes is quite poor. Liverpool aren't strong favorites because the overall team isn't playing at their best and not because of any player in particular.

Having said that, Napoli will be that smaller team that the big teams will be hoping to avoid, not that they cannot defeat them, but because it could be tricky, and absolutely anything can happen, i get this feeling that Napoli are going to provide an upset in this season's CL, not that they'd win it, of course they can't, but they might just eliminate a team that nobody gave them a chance against.
1875  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Early Sign to Adopt Bitcoin by Nigerian Government on: November 06, 2022, 10:15:04 PM
you can see clearly from the screenshot above that OP said the Nigerian government are willing to train up to 30k people in blockchain, specifically Bitcoin.
Okay bro, well truly that is what OP said, but from the article that he linked there was absolutely no mention of Bitcoin in the plans, it was all about just the blockchain technology, and to even make matters worse they mentioned Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV), which definitely isn't Bitcoin, thus i prolly don't know if they do not know the two coins are different, or if they are actually interested in useless BSV.
why then are they going to train 30k person in blockchain technology is there are absolutely no plan to implement the blockchain technology in any sector of the country's economy?
Well i can only answer from the information i have gotten from the article that was linked, here are some excerpts as to the reason for the training:
Quote
The objective of the training course is to make the participants “early solution providers in the fourth industrial revolution.”
Quote
intended to hasten the adoption of the tech and make Nigeria a leading player in the blockchain industry.
Quote
“quality education and equipping participants with the skills to build real-life blockchain solutions.”
Thus from the above i prolly might have been wrong with my initial comment, and maybe they actually have plans for implementation, but with the Nigerian government you just never know, we'd have to wait and see!

However, no team in the Champions League knockout round can be called weak.
I second every word of this sentence above, the Champions League is a very tough and tricky tournamnet and all the teams that make it through can be considered a difficult opponent to handle, notwithstanding, there are teams that are stronger, and are among the favorites, but even such teams cannot underestimate the less stronger teams when they come up against each other. The tournament becomes stronger as the competition progresses, from the QF every game is like a 'Final', and if any teams becomes complacent, they are definitely going to be knocked out.

Having said that, this season there are some teams that look like they will cause the bigger teams problems, i am pretty sure even the bigger teams will be hoping to avoid them in the draws, Napoli, Benfica and Porto are examples of such teams, the tournament is about to get a whole lot more interesting.
1877  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Early Sign to Adopt Bitcoin by Nigerian Government on: November 06, 2022, 08:56:37 PM
The Nigerian government is one of the funniest government in the world, they planning to train 30k Nigerians in blockchain technology meanwhile banks in the country are still banned from processing cryptocurrency transactions..
Whilst i'd agree with you that it is indeed a funny government we run here in Nigeria, but going by the news and understanding that the federal government of Nigeria hasn't mentioned Bitcoin in any of its plans, thus the whole scenario becomes clearer, though the relationship between Bitcoin and the Blockchain technology is interwoven, the Blockchain technology can be applied in other fields, and it is prolly in relationship with these other fields that the government of Nigeria would tailor this lectures to, as they are not budging on their stand towards Bitcoin.
It is my expectation that this move by the Nigerian government will bring a major boost to the economy of the country upon the end of the program and implementation of this technology into the country's monetary system.
I'm afraid it won't do anything to the economy of Nigeria, neither am i sure there's talk of any implementation of the Blockchain technology in any sector in Nigeria.

Liverpool had a very good game today. I hope they can build momentum from this win and get back to winning ways. It would be nice for them to win their upcoming matches before going to the world cup.
Yeah they did have a very good game, but Liverpool are yet to convince me this season. Even after a big win like this one, i still do not trust Liverpool to start winning and make a good run in the league, Spurs know very well how to crumble when they meet a big team, they lack character and they cannot dig deep to get victories, i never expected them to beat Liverpool, but i thought they would at least get a draw from this game. Sometimes i wonder what Conte tells his players before the start of every game, their initial approach is always to be very cautious and wait for a break, they won't win trophies in that way. Having said that, Liverpool are definitely not in the title race, thus they just have to continue fighting and see whether they can make the top four, though it would be extremely difficult for them.
1879  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: As a newbie I think decentralise poses more threat to investors, correct me if w on: November 06, 2022, 07:31:18 PM
1. The team will easily blame the hacker, even if its an inside job.
2. Any form of reimbursement isn't going to happen.
I do not know the decentralized project/coin you know that this happened to, you can write out the name if any, because as far as i am concerned Bitcoin is the only true decentralized and secure coin/project and a hacker/malicious miner cannot hack/gain control of the network/hash rate. There might be other coins posing as being decentralized when truly they are centralized, you have to take special cognizance of the security level of the coin, of which Bitcoin is the most secured of all cryptocurrencies, and the above isn't possible in the network.
We all want decentralise but it deals more damage to investors than centralise, the only thing decentralise does better is freedom but that freedom is also a huge weak point.
Well i want to know what you think: would you rather a tiny group of powerful people make decisions on important matters that affect you, or would you rather prefer that you and other member's of the said group/community/society be involved in coming up with decisions that favors your common goal, now relate that expression with centralized and decentralized coins and you have your answer in your palms.

Is my thoughts right? If you are in my shoes what will you do?
If i am in your shoes like you ask, i'd do no such thing, you cannot do someone's research for them, take their money and invest in something they neither understand or have absolutely any knowledge about, you'd definitely be held responsible should things go awry, and it could go as far as cost you family relationships and friendships.

Having said that, all you basically have to do is tell your friends and family to do their own research, that you can help them with by providing them with important research materials so they can come up to speed with what crypto is all about and the risks involved, you could also tell them the difference between Bitcoin and altcoins, that whilst the former has an actual utility, the latter doesn't, after these people must have understood what they are getting into, they can now come to a conclusion on what they want, and you are thus free from any responsibility of the outcome of their decision.
