Qatar hosted world cup and they started from scratch building stadiums setting up everything and after World cup they dismantled some of them and made sports centres to remaining.  Qatar is country who's not developed in terms of football I'm comparison to America Europe who have a developed system . In fifa 2026 many stadiums are already build so they don't have to start from scratch .
Obviously, friends of Qatar can give their best to host the world cup that took place last year because being able to host the world cup is a pride and honor given by FIFA.
In the development of the sport of football, Qatar has indeed lagged behind developments compared to the United States of Europe but Qatar can prove that they are capable and worthy of being able to provide good facilities in the world cup event.

Back to what you said that European America is more advanced in football but it is not certain that in the next world cup they can be a better host than Qatar because Qatar really prepares everything as well as possible.
Qatar itself is willing to spend some money for the construction of stadiums and several other facilities.
The fact is Qatar hosted a memorable world cup and they did everything to cater all the fans and thier accommodation from entire football world , they arranged temporary accommodations for fans during that time and that was affordable. 
2026 world cup is a big question interms of these things i-e how matches will be in America,  Canada and Mexico  and how they'll work for accommodation plus visa policy .
At the world cup event Qatar became the best country to host the world cup.
Even FIFA itself was impressed with Qatar who was very enthusiastic and provided the best accommodations to host the world cup.
Actually Qatar can be an example for countries that will host the next world cup so that they can also facilitate this most prestigious football event.

We don't need to worry because FIFA has made a decision and will also provide a solution to the problem.
After all, FIFA can still change all of its decisions regarding the selection of countries that will host the 2026 world cup later.
In fact, I really don't think any other country can host the FIFA World Cup with as much money as Qatar. I think Qatar World Cup will be remembered forever in the history pages. But it can be hoped that we will see something new in the next World Cup.

I think that Saudi Arabia, for example, could also fall into that category, as a country that also invests a lot in football.
It seems to me that Qatar wanted to show its power and wealth and promote itself throughout the world through this World Cup.
Qatar has really invested a huge amount of money in building many new stadiums that the country does not really need, so it can really be said that they have spent a huge amount of money on something that they will no longer need.
However, Qatar apparently felt that it was all worth it and that the World Cup helped boost their country's reputation, which had previously been tarnished by human rights violations against foreign workers.

OP, I see that this is your first post on the forum, and that you became a member only a few days ago.
So instead of introducing yourself to the forum community, and sharing your interests, your first question is about merit.
By using the simple search option, you would find hundreds of such questions on this forum and immediately see the answer.
The answer is very simple. If you want to get something, you have to give something first, and what that depends solely on you, your knowledge, experience, interests etc.

Mi sad pričamo o Bitcoinu a s njim se više neće stvarati milijunaši - barem ne na način da milijunaši postanu sa 10k$ investicijama.
A cuj, ako se ostvari ovo sto ti predvidjas onda bi i ~$16k investicija (to je bila cijena prije koji mjesec) mogla napraviti milijunase. Doduse, pocetnici skoro nikad ne kupuju blizu bottoma nego blizu ath kad je fomo najjaci tako da sumnjam da ih je puno kupilo ispod 20k.   


Ono što je po meni neminovno je da će BTC zamijeniti zlato kao store of value u budućnosti - a to bi ga napravilo 1m$+ assetom.
U kojem vremenskom razdoblju mislis da bi se to moglo dogoditi?

Mozda sam preoprezan, ali ja vise ne ocekujem ni blizu 20x u bull runu kao sto je bilo 2017. Uostalom, 2021 smo imali samo ~x3 od proslog ATH tako da mislim da bi se to u ovom ciklusu moglo jos usporiti. Ja bih bio zadovoljan i sa x2 ili cak 1.5x od proslog ATH znaci sve preko 100k bi bilo odlicno.

Da bi bitcoin došao do milijun dolara vrijednosti, u bitcoin bi moralo biti investirano 20 000 milijardi dolara, što je ogromna cifra, koju je teško i pojmiti.
Istina je da je bitcoin u početku imao relativno brz rast, što je i logično jer mu je u početku vrijednost bila ispod 1$ ali sa povećanjem cijene bilo je očekivano vidjeti i usporavanje rasta jer sada već govorimo o tisućama milijarda dolara, a takve iznose si mogu priuštiti samo veliki investicijski fondovi koji uglavnom imaju kontraverznu politiku ulaganja.
Oni ulažu u bitcoin kada je situacija na financijskom tržištu dobra, a kada dođe do krize na tržištu, kao što je u zadnje vrijeme zbog inflacije i povećanja kamatnih stopa središnjih banaka, tada takvi fondovi prvo izlaze iz visokorizičnih i špekulativnih ulaganja, a to je za njih trenutno bitcoin i kripto općenito.
Zlato je već stoljećima utočište u kriznim i nesigurnim vremenima i iskreno, sumnjam da ćemo u bližoj budućnosti vidjeti trenutak da bitcoin zamjeni zlato kao store of value.
Mislim da to nije neminovno jer bankari i investicijski manageri teško da će donijeti odluku da sa ulaganja u zlato pređu na ulaganje u nešto što je toliko votabilno, decentralizirano, neregulirano i visokorizično.
A htjeli mi to priznati ili ne, bitcoin je jako podložan potresima na burzama i u financijskom sektoru, puno više nego zlato.

Saturday's transfer gossip:

Paris St-Germain have stepped up their interest in signing England midfielder Jude Bellingham, 19, from Borussia Dortmund this summer. Does this mean that Bellingham will almost certainly become a Real player and replacement for Modric?
Carlo Ancelotti will be considered by Chelsea for a second spell as manager if he leaves Real Madrid at the end of the season. I think the chances are much higher that Ancelotti will become coach of Brazil or stay at Real.
Former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been included on the shortlist for the manager's job vacated by Scott Parker at Club Bruges. Solskjaer failed at Manchester United and the English league. Can Club Bruges and the Belgian league be a new beginning for him?
Paris St-Germain have dashed Real Madrid's hopes of signing 24-year-old France forward Kylian Mbappe this summer by declaring they will not sell him before 2024. The real question is what will Mbappe decide in 2024? Paris or Madrid?
AC Milan will not offer a new contract to 41-year-old Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. It seems that the legend of the club is finally leaving.

FIFA manages to give us new surprises every World Cup. The 2022 World Cup in Qatar has been brilliantly organized, whose reputation still lives on around the world. Hope FIFA will hold the next World Cup with more grandeur. In the next World Cup we will all see a new whole of young players in the team.

I don't know what you are talking about. Qatar 2022 was marred by many controversies and scandals. Tickets were overpriced, LGBT and unmarried couples were discriminated against, and alcoholic beverages were banned at the last minute without prior warning. Qatar just wanted to showoff their petro-wealth, and I guess they managed to do that. I found the 2018 FIFA World Cup much better organized, compared to the 2022 edition. And to be very frank, I would say that 2022 edition was one of the worst ever since I started watching football.

Some people believe the 2022 world cup was well organized but I didn't think the same way, they just spent lots of money to build the stadiums they won't need after the world cup, I mean for a country like Qatar without famous football teams where they hardly get qualified for the world cup building these stadiums was just wasting money but this time in the USA and two other countries there won't be a problem like this.

This upcoming World Cup after a couple of years will be of course better than in Qatar yet Qatar did well to build those stadiums as they have money to throw away and they also showed off in the international arena of their capabilities.The only thing which cannot be forgiven to them is the number of workers that died during the building of such stadiums,they could care less for human life and that is a grave mistake which has gone strangely overlooked by the international community.

I am pretty confident the 2026 World Cup will be much better as the countries hosting them are in a much better shape for hosting such events compared to Qatar which is a small country.

Preparing the world football championship is financially and organizationally very difficult and today it is almost impossible for only one country to do it.
Qatar is one of the richest countries in the world and could have done it, organized the world championship by itself, but for the next world championship, with as many as 48 national teams, as many as 3 countries were needed for the organization.
In the future, it will obviously become a trend and a rule, not an exception, and we already see a lot of other joint bids for the 2030 World Cup, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Uruguay as first candidate and Spain and Portugal as second candidates for the organization of the World Cup.
366  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Croatian League - Hrvatska nogometna liga 2022./2023. on: April 08, 2023, 01:49:11 PM
Bišćan is a terrible choice - at least in my opinion. I don't really rate Čačić as well - and Bišćan will probably do well in HNL (everybody would with Dinamo).

Considering that Dinamo will have to go through a bigger reconstruction this summer and the fact that the new coach will have to assemble a team for Europe fast - they needed someone with at least more experience.

Dinamo needed an urgent replacement for Čačić, and currently there are not many available coaches on the football market who could take over that responsibility within 24 hours.
Bišćan was a good coach and achieved very good results wherever he was so far, in Rudeš, Rijeka, Olimpija and in the U 21 Croatian national team. Why not give him a little more trust?
I think he could be a very good choice for Dinamo because he knows how to work with young players and is ready to trust them, unlike Čačić.
Livaković and Petković are leaving Dinamo soon, Ademi and Oršić have already left, so you have to trust the young and talented players from Dinamo in order to be ready to take responsibility next season when the main players leave. Dinamo needs a coach who will already start preparing young talents and the team for the next season.
367  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers on: April 08, 2023, 01:37:45 PM
Croatia has achieved considerably good results in recent years. At World Championships and European Championships. And they have also already reached the final 4 in the coming summer, which will be held in the Netherlands. Croatia in 1998 was also very good with Suker. But you will not find a player like Djokovic anywhere. It would be great for the football world if Croatia would become European or world champion one day. But Croatia will never start the tournament as favourites, they will always be the outsider. I think a quote of around 9.00 for Croatia. On a good day they can beat anyone, but teams like France are normally just too good. But they also depend on Mbappe, just as Croatia depends on modric. I do not think that European top countries will be fooled in qualifying for the European Championship. Too many opportunities to qualify your own for this tournament.

Croatia was very good at the last 2 world championships and won second and third place, but we haven't really been that good at the European championships lately.
Even in the first two editions of the League of Nations, we were bad and barely avoided being relegated to the lower ranks of the competition, and it was only in the last edition of the League of Nations that we were good and won first place in the group.
Croatia was very close in the final of the 2018 World Cup to become the world champion in the match against France, but we did not have enough luck and concentration.
However, we are now hoping for gold at the Nations League finals in June.
Of course, we have great expectations and hopes for next year's EURO.

For Chelsea this can be a dream to beat Real Madrid in this situation both teams, currently, we know Real Madrid is in a good situation after they won the El Clasico and had a perfect performance there against Barcelona while they had players like Benzema shining at this match, while Chslea just started working with Lampard and comparing to Ancelotti he doesn't have enough experience to win this game.
Exactly, Lampard also have an experience to manage Chelsea in the past, but his strategy isn't fit with players and board member decided to sacked him. I know with Chelsea, he only has a job till end of season, but waiting for this Madrid need to make sure all of players ready to playing all out for the chance playing in UCL semifinals. Ancelotti and Madrid on better conditions, I think for the first leg, Madrid will trying to playing defensive with counter attack.
Previous experience was also a note for Lampard and now we have to look again at his strategy for playing in the UCL, will this be able to keep up with Real Madrid's game, while in other words the team from Spain is still victorious when playing in the UCL, so it won't be surprising later if they lose in this semi-final it's just that we need to know how Prank Lampard's strategy is with his current abilities to manage players in this big competition

If Chelsea can't defend at home then it will be difficult when they go to the Bernabeu because basically Real Madrid have great ability at home.
Even though until the end of the season when he was in the UCL, it was a tough task for Lampard.

The sad thing about Chslea is that they do not have a good atmosphere in their team because of the results they got in the premier league and the bad performance they had. My guess is that they will start out defensively against Real Madrid, causing Chelea to lose the game because of the strong forwards Real Madrid has in their team like Karim Benzema, but this won't help Chelea at all.
Everywhere I see everyone is talking more about the Real Madrid vs Chelsea match in the quarter finals of the Champions League. But yes this match will be really competitive I think too. But we should discuss something with the rest of the parties. Such teams like Bayern Munich, Manchester City are very promising.

Yes, I agree, we talk too much about that match between Real and Chelsea, and in fact, in the quarter-finals, we have another big match waiting for us, between Bayern and Manchester City, the two perhaps biggest candidates to win the Champions League this season.
The matches between Benfica and Inter and Napoli and Milan will be also very interesting and uncertain.
It is difficult to say that there is a clear favorite even in one quarter-final, but I still give Real, Manchester City, Napoli and Benfica a slight advantage.

Each of us felt that he was right and did not want to give up, but in fact it would be much better if we could resolve our misunderstandings privately, outside of the forum.

We really can't say that every cryptocurrency has some value and is a good project.
For something to be an asset, it must be resistant to risks and disturbances in the market and hold value over a long period of time.
Personally, btc and eth seem to fit the definition of digital assets the most right now, in my opinion.
There are some other good crypto projects but they have yet to pass the test of time.
However, when you think about investing in crypto, you should analyze the crypto market in detail and, in accordance with your financial capabilities, make an investment plan and have a clear exit strategy.

Zanimljive kripto novosti:

Samo nekoliko dana nakon što su Binance i CZ tuženi od strane CFTC zbog kršenja pravila trgovanja, tri kripto influencera su također tužili Binance i CZ zbog promicanja neregistriranih vrijednosnih papira.
Radi se o tužbi vrijednoj milijardu dolara a BInance je također optužen za promociju nezakonitih usluga.
Iako su tužbu pokrenule samo 3 osobe navodi se da bi milijuni ljudi mogli imati pravo na odštetu.
Kako će se ovo odraziti na poslovanje Binance, u Americi ali i u svijetu?
Ja definitivno ne bih kod njih držao sada neka veća kripto sredstva.

https://crobitcoin.com/cz-binance-i-influenceri-suoceni-s-tuzbom-zbog-promocije-neregistriranih-vrijednosnih-papira/

A evo i vijesti da britanske banke odbijaju kripto klijente zbog mogućih regulatornih rizika.
Naravno, ovo predstavlja veliki udarac za kripto industriju u UK.
Hoće li i naše banke krenuti tim putem?

Nije samo pitanje gdje će Bitcoin nego i gdje će dolar. Što mi znači cijena Bitcoina od 200.000 dolara ako kruh bude koštao 100 dolara u odnosu na 2 dolara koliko košta dolar? Malo preuveličavam ali činjenica je da svim fiat valutama s vremenom pada vrijednost. Naravno da bi volio vidjeti BTC na 200k dolara u roku godinu dana jer u tom periodu vrijednost dolara neće (odnosno barem ne bi trebala) pasti puno. Ali ako će na 200k dolara doći za 10 godina, to mi znači jednako kao da bude i na 500k dolara - ništa. Jer pitanje što će biti s dolarom i općenito svim fiat valutama kroz 10 godina.
Ako dolar padne značajno i izgubi svoju poziciju kao World Reserve Currency jednostavno ga više nećemo korisititi. Samim time nećemo pričati koliko BTC vrijedi u dolarima. Njegovo mjesto će zauzeti neka druga valuta ili tip monetarne razmjene i to je to. U konačnici je jedino bitno koliko možeš kupiti ta taj 1 BTC. Ako je danas to jedan vrlo pristojni auto nadam se da će za koju godinu biti kuća Smiley Ostalo me ne zanima.

Dominacija dolara traje već stotinjak godina i neće prestati tek tako, preko noći.
Trenutno, koliko se sjećam jednog grafa kojeg sam nedavno vidio, na dolar otpada više od 50 % svjetskih rezervi, na euro 20-ak posto a nakon toga je na trećem mjestu juan sa tek 3 ili 4 posto, i to usprkos tome što Kina već godinama pokušava, zajedno sa Rusijom, svrgnuti dolar sa prijestolja.
Neće to ići baš tako brzo, i možemo govoriti samo o dugoročnim procesima ili trendovima koji bi mogli dovesti do pada dolara ali idućih 20-30 godina ne mislim da će se bilo što bitno promijeniti sa pozicijom dolara.
Uostalom, mi ionako ne koristimo dolar već euro, a tako je bilo i dok smo imali kune.
Dakle, u budućnosti za nas će biti važniji odnos 1 btc prema euru nego odnos 1 dolara prema euru.
Koja je valuta na prvom mjestu u svjetskim financijskim tokovima običnom čovjeku je sasvim nebitno.

OSJEČKA policija izvijestila je da intenzivno traga za počiniteljima koji su prevarili stariju osobu iz Osijeka i ukrali joj desetke tisuća eura. Naime, 84-godišnjak je od prosinca 2020. do travnja 2022. godine preko interneta stupio u kontakt s navodnim tvrtkama koje se bave ulaganjem u kriptovalute.

Žrtva je od prevaranata dobivala upute kako uplatiti novac te je u više navrata uplaćivala određene novčane iznose na razne račune u inozemstvu. Lažni broker je oštećenog starijeg čovjeka nagovorio da na svoje računalo instalira aplikaciju putem koje se spojio na računalo 84-godišnjaka te na taj način obavio više novčanih transakcija kupujući razne kriptovalute.

https://www.index.hr/vijesti/clanak/stariji-covjek-tri-godine-uplacivao-za-kriptovalute-prevaren-za-desetke-tisuca-eura/2453341.aspx

Nije to vjerojatno bilo ulaganje za njegovu budućnost već za budućnost njegovih unuka.
Čovjek je vjerojatno prodao nešto zemlje, iznenada došao do puno novca i pomislio kako bi bilo super da ''oplodi'' taj novac i ostavi više svojim unucima.
Problem ti je što velika većina ljudi životari od svojeg posla, mirovine ili poljoprivrede i kada dođu do nekog većeg novca jednostavno su izgubljeni i ne znaju što bi, jer nemaju nikakvog znanja o ulaganjima, burzi, sigurnosti...
Još je dobro ako novce ulože u nekretninu, pa unucima kupe stan ili kuću ali ulaziti u priču o kojoj ništa ne znate i igrati na slijepo, na povjerenje, je siguran put u propast...
Žao mi je takvih ljudi.

The leading Croatian club Dinamo is in a huge crisis and in the next 2 games coach Cacic is saving his job and Dinamo his season.
Dinamo had a huge advantage in the championship, but they started playing very badly and currently Hajduk reduced the difference for Dinamo to only 7 points, and Dinamo still has to play in Split, Rijeka and Osijek.
In the semi-finals of the cup, they play in Sibenik against the team that recently defeated them.
Also, probably the best Dinamo team in the last 50 years is falling apart, because Livakovic, Petkovic and maybe Ivanucec will soon be leaving the club after Orsic and Ademi. A lot of work for the new Dinamo management.

There will be competition between Croatia, Türkiye and Wales in Group D for sure. On paper, squad qualities are like Croatia > Türkiye > Wales. But when one of them is on form, its not very hard to beat each other. Türkiye lost to Croatia at home for example but Croatia couldn't be able to beat Wales at home. Now its time for Türkiye-Wales match. I think Türkiye should be able to beat Wales but Wales can be very motivated as they beat Latvia and staying at higher rank than Türkiye. Obviously I am not talking about next matches but I think both Armenia and Latvia are too weak so both of them will lose.

I think that's a bit of a simplistic view of the quality of the teams in this group.
Croatia actually played a very good game against Wales and they didn't win even though they were a much better team.
On the other hand, Croatia won in Turkey somewhat fortunately, because, especially in the beginning, they were not a better team than Turkey.
However, these are the characteristics of top teams like Croatia, that they win even when they don't play well.
Croatia will win first place in the group without any major problems because they have a much higher individual quality than Turkey and Wales, and it seems to me that Turkey is a better team than Wales.

I don't think that the tournament will be expanded further, at least not for the next 50 years or so. 48 is a number that gives equal importance to both sides of the argument, that is those who argue that quality will get diluted and those who want more representation from around the globe. The main issue that we had with a 32-team setup was that it gave too much importance for the UEFA teams. 13 out of the 32 slots were allotted for the UEFA teams. It was justifiable in the 1990s. But now the quality of AFC and CAF teams have increased to such an extent that they can give a tough challenge to the UEFA nations. So in order to accommodate them, the tournament had to be expanded.

Europe does have a lot of countries, and a lot of incredibly good countries for football. They are the ones that have won the most times.

A close second is South America.

It makes sense that those two should take the most amount of spaces.

Just by giving the other nations a free pass to qualify doesn't mean they are going to show good football. That was clear with Qatar. They were really bad, probably the worst team by far in the world cup.

In fact, most of the European teams are much better and they have better quality comparing African or Asian teams If you check the FIFA ranking or the teams who won the world cups in the past they were mostly European countries or some American counties like Brazil and Argentina that's why I think to have a world cup with better quality, if were are going to see more teams in the next world cup most of these teams should be europian.

In fact, the previous world champions were only European national teams and Uruguay, Brazil and Argentina from South America.
The fact is that African and Asian football has progressed significantly in recent years, which can be seen in the examples of the success of South Korea in 2002 and Morocco last year, but the best football is still played in Europe and South America.
In recent years, very good football players have come from Africa, such as Salah and Mane, but the African national teams are not yet at the level of the best national teams in the world.
Therefore, the inclusion of additional teams from Asia, Africa and North America will definitely reduce the quality of the world cup.

Given Chelsea's disappointing performances in every Premier League match, the chances of them doing well in the Champions League are slim. If not for their opponents in the Champions League, Real Madrid, Chelsea would have had a chance to qualify for the semi-finals. However, Madrid is a very experienced opponent. And Madrid's chances of winning the La Liga title are slim. So they will try their best to win the Champions League title. This is why it is impossible for Chelsea to perform well against Madrid without an experienced coach. My guess is that Chelsea will lose both matches against Madrid.
Chelsea's current condition is very doubtful. they have a problem with their consistency that doesn't improve. and now they also have to lose their trainer, Graham Potter. so Chelsea's current condition is very unclear. Unlike Real Madrid, which has a positive trend in the Champions League, we can't doubt it at all. and it is very clear that it is very likely that Real Madrid will indeed have the chance to win even in the two legs later. but Chelsea could have provided an unexpected result in the quarter-final match later. but it seems that not many people will dare to bet on Chelsea in the quarter-final match later.
There are some people who still believe that Chelsea will be able to eliminate Real Madrid in the Champions League clash.
It is true that everything is possible in football, but Chelsea being able to eliminate Madrid does not seem so possible for me. Since the beginning of the season till today. Chelsea has been in one kind of problem to another from player injury problems to coaching problems.

In the other hand Real Madrid seems to be very stable and consistent in the Champions League. This is an exception to their Champions League history which is second to none in the Europe. I don't see the possibility of Chelsea winning Real Madrid in either legs.
Even if they have Ngolo kante Back to the team it will not be that possible.

Chelsea was already in a very difficult situation in the Champions League this season, when after the first two rounds they were last in their Champions League group. Then they changed their coach for the first time this season and after that they started winning and eventually won the first place in the group.
Now they are again in a very difficult situation in the national championship and the Champions League and they will change their coach again. Will this help them raise their level of play again and start winning?
Let's not forget that Chelsea won the Champions League a few years ago when nobody expected it, and last season they almost knocked out Real in Madrid, after losing the first game in London. Chelsea should never be underestimated.
