After the Tournament this week, Justine Madugu and his entire crew members were sacked for not making the Super Falcons qualify in the Women World Cup and also failure to play the final in the WAFCON. Having mot qualifying in the both tournament is disappointing. At least they would have played the final or qualify in the world cup but nothing. Why I brought this is because with this restructuring of the crew, the Super Falcons will performance well in the next season tournaments.
But was there even need for the NFF to sack Super Falcons crew members just because they didn't win the WAFCON and didn't qualify for 2027 Women's World Cup. The NFF that sacked those crew members are they different? I even read from J.J Okocha that the NFF is still owning some allowances and hotel debts. He even went further to state that the Super Eagles do not have a campsite. How do the expect crew members to dispose their duties when most of them have unpaid salaries.

Quote
The drawing board now is who is coming. They should remove politics from the selection of crew members of the team. And brought experienced people to be in the crew. And another thing again the prompt payment of allowances to motivate players and management team.
We should not even expect anything different from the new crew members that they will employ because it will still be same story. The NFF is known for corrupt practices and it baffles me that nobody checkmate the activity of the NFF. No quality funding from the NFF to the National team both men and Women but the NFF receives allocation from the federal government.

Honestly, I’m a big fan of South American soccer, but lately I’ve been pretty critical of it
Quite simply, every game has ended in a tie, with only 10 goals in 7 games

Did anyone have any winning bets this round?

How is it possible to win when they're playing too many draw with few goals? I doubt if there are people who are actually winning except those who will play single bets on draw options or those who bet BTTS.

For those who prefer betting over 2.5 goals and above it will not be possible to get a winning. In the 1/8 final, it's only Estudiantes La Plata that scored up to 3 goals in their second leg against Universidad Católica. When matches don't produce many goals it becomes so boring and many gamblers can even stop betting on those tournaments as a result of many losses they do experience.

I know about that subreddit.. if you navigate through it, you'll find even more ridiculous posts about Bitcoin.. it's likely that the people in that section are either those who are bitter because they lost money in Bitcoin or other crypto, or people who work in the banking sector and the like. for a long time, I haven't paid much attention to that sub because their views on Bitcoin are quite intriguing to me, and I don't find it that important to respond to what they say, because it's just a waste of time to respond to those ass***... so it's best to just treat what that guy said as a fart.

Exactly my thought too, those guys, if at all they invested in bitcoin, it could be those who invested with the idea that bitcoin price will keep skyrocketing so that they can make huge profits from it but along the line, they didn't achieve the reason why they invested then it became a pain in their ass because it's been a long time since the price of bitcoin increased to ATH. It could even be those who have no idea about the bull and the bear season, they invested with the mindset of selling after they must have made some gains but it turned out that plans failed woefully.

A few days ago, Egyptian Premier league side club Modern Sports FC signed up a Nigerian local player Ismail Ayodele from Shooting Stars SC for an undisclosed amount this August. Lately the Egyptian club side has shown interest in Nigerian local players and they've been signing up players for their various clubs. This shows how talented Nigerians are and are a centre of attraction to many countries out there who are willing to pay to get them in their team to play for them.

https://share.google/iAQlyZYoy6WiZonss

I love the fact that African countries are now seeing the need to embrace their leagues just like the Europeans. For the Egyptian club to sign a player from the Nigerian league mean that they have seen how talented the player is. The Nigerian teams should also learn to sign players outside the Nigerian league so that it will also create a balance between African players. CAF should put more interest in the local leagues so that they can create an atmosphere where teams can be signing players across the leagues in Africa. However, Nigeria is always a pace setter in African football even though our leagues is still developing. Apart from the South Africa league and the Morroco league, Nigerian league has many quality players that can even play at international level.

Quite surprised to see how Racing Santander who incidentally for now is a promotion club but managed to hold Villarreal to a draw with a score of 2-2 in the first match even if looking at how Racing play I think other than possession they do not look far in terms of strength in this match.
I commend the strength of Racing Santander because even as they just promoted newly, they didn't fear the team who finished third in the La Liga last season which is Villarreal. If not that they gave away the 2 goals advantage they had in the first half they were even supposed to win Villarreal. The problem they had was that immediately they scored 2 goals first, they kept attacking instead of them to calm down and play diplomatically.

They have shown that they are here to stay with that singular performance, we should not be surprised when they start challenging teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid because if they can have this awesome performance against Villarreal, either Real Madrid or Barcelona will find it difficult to win them when they meet. I like when promoted teams put up a fight to survive in the midst of many big teams.
6  Economy / Economics / Re: Can workers and politicians become very rich without stealing and being corrupt on: August 17, 2026, 10:09:51 PM
OP i don't really understand the point you are trying to make because some politicians are already rich before they joined politics. The question you should have asked is if politicians can't do without stealing when they assume public office. For workers, most of them already has the spirit of stealing in them and they cover it up by saying that where they are working is where they are going to eat from. Have they ever put themselves in the shoes of their employers and see how it feels to steal from their company.

As far as I understand, becoming a billionaire without participating in corruption schemes is impossible. All billionaires have close business ties to government officials. 🙋
I agree that most billionaires have business relationship with those in goverment but it is not all billionaires. It will take you to be close with a billionaire to understand that there are some billionaires that doesn't do business with goverment officials. I'm surprised that you said all billionaires involves themselves in corruption schemes. How did you know that are all billionaires are corrupt?
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: August 16, 2026, 11:21:54 PM
I'm delighted by the outcome of the French Super Cup final, and no hard feelings to PSG fans. Most low-budget clubs, after having a fantastic campaign, would sell some of their best players to their rivals or abroad to make some money. I don't follow Lens, nor do I know about the club's transfer activity, but for Lens to beat PSG in the Super Cup final, I think Lens still has a pretty strong squad to compete for the new season, and I like it. I want the league to be competitive.

Lens has a competitive squad but their problem is that they get tired too quick and you can't predict when they will play well and when they will disappoint. They will play a good match like they just did today against PSG but don't be surprised they might lose their first match of the season. Lens once had the opportunity to win the French ligue title last season but they became weak in matches that would have given them edge over PSG.

PSG disappointed their fans in this French Super Cup, it looks like the team is not the same as they used to be. I didn't see a fierce PSG that I have known for the past 2 seasons who puts bigger teams on their knees and score a lot of goals. They were practically playing with low efforts.

I have seen Arsenal with this same performance for long but I'd love to see something different, more trophies, they need to add more trophies to this outstanding performance they gave out there, City could not even be themselves. Some will say Manchester City are without Pep Guardiola that's why they lost but the players are still there, if that's the case then let us wait for the worse because it will surely happen.

The first season without Pep Guardiola and is already tense for Manchester City to loss the community shield, it could be the same players but it takes the coach that has always been using the squad to get victory to put them on the right fit because we wouldn't see Manchester City with this form if it was with their former coach, i have not forgotten that it was still this year that Manchester City won Arsenal back to back so their performance wouldn't have dropped so fast that Arsenal would win them 3:0 on this first important cup but however I'm glad to see how the journey would be looking for Arsenal on the premier League as their performance has yielded the community shield champion for them.

Arsenal retaliate the defeat they faced against Manchester City at the EFL cup final last season. Yes, Manchester City wasn't this bad when Pep Guardiola was still available in the team so they will need to face the reality of being managed by another Coach who is not even a perfect replacement for Pep Guardiola. Arsenal's future is bright (looking at their performance against Manchester City), i think they can defend the title if they don't allow any distractions this season.

I like the clinical performance of Arsenal today, the last goal scored by Martin Odegaard was kinda funny because he faked the goalie and was left with an open net. It's been a long time I watched Arsenal play with so much confidence against Manchester City. Though they won Manchester City by a score of 5:1 earlier in 2025 around February.
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Question] If bitcoin becomes everyday money on: August 16, 2026, 10:19:08 PM
I don't know if this has been discussed before, if so I'll just lock the thread.

The original purpose of bitcoin is to be able to transact peer to peer without intermediaries or centralised authorities. Lets imagine an ideal world where bitcoin is truly used in a decentralised manner (no regulated exchanges/merchants) and is accepted as everyday money. How will attackers be tracked, identified and penalised if they steal coins from others. Is there any possible way to track the attackers since KYC is not required to initiate a transaction?

I am asking because centralised exchanges were not part of the original plan. We are supposed practice self custody for the original purpose of bitcoin to be achieved. Run a full node and manage our bitcoin client (Bitcoin core and others) instead of relying on CEX. I am particularly concerned how identifying and penalising fraudsters will be possible in such an ideal world.

OP you asked a very good question. However, if bitcoin transactions were to remain decentralised without the action of moving it to exchange wallets where KYC will force out the identity of the receiver, then bitcoin transactions will be done directly with people you know. And of course, most bitcoin transactions are done between people that know themselves so if bitcoin is stolen, the real owner will only need to track the movement of the bitcoin through the Blockchain and begin to investigate each wallets that the coin was sent to.

You can do that by reporting to Blockchain forensics, they will be tracking the movement of the bitcoin on public ledger and likely identify any of the addresses it was moved to, but it must be an address that has been posted online. It's a rigorous process that can even take many years to succeed.

The most amusing and shocking thing right now is Morocco couldn't console themselves with bronze despite being the hosts. Two times in a row, victory gets swept off from them and if I'm being honest, I hoped that they will beat Algeria and win the bronze but Lady luck was on holiday. At least they get to qualify for WC, something the Super Falcons couldn't achieve.

Being the host is not a criteria that they will win the third place. Favorite teams are not known to win the third place because they don't see it as important, it happened in the world cup third place between France versus England where France was the favourite to win it but on the matchday, England won.

The hard luck of Morocco is enough to still value our girls even though they exited in the quarter finals because for a strong team like Morocco not to make it to the final, nor win the third place shows that this WAFCON wasn't easy on teams that were initially seen as favourite. Morocco is only better than the Super Eagles because they qualified for the world cup if not they are in same category.

12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many soccer leagues are there and why do we need so many threads? on: August 15, 2026, 04:26:41 PM
In my opinion, it's time lower leagues and less popular leagues has a section in their different LBs. Even if you want to merge, which one will you merge to which?. I'm also against Premier League having a prediction thread and another discussions thread, maybe the merging should start from that one.

Continental football discussions can stay, same with major Leagues like EPL, Bundesliga, Ligue1, Italian League and Laliga, Europa and UCL. Others should be provided a gambling section in their own LB or moved to a separate board called other leagues.

This is gambling section, people gamble on different leagues. While you gamble and find major leagues discussion important there are those who loves discussion about the minor leagues and those are the leagues they gamble on and also like discussing about them. I agree with you about a league not having a discussion thread and a prediction thread concurrently because both can work in one dedicated thread.

I object to each local board creating a gambling sub-board for gambling discussions of their country, it doesn't make any sense to me except they want the discussion to be done in their own language and not English.
13  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Using Crypto ≠ Adopting Bitcoin: Are Nigerians Really Adopting Bitcoin? on: August 14, 2026, 10:09:08 PM
So what category does the majority of the Nigerian crypto community/users really fall under?? Adopters or users?? Huh
The reason why I like Nigerians is that they are one of the countries that are updated to current trends, they are very eager to know about tjr latest investment and all that which is why we normally use this familiar words "naija no dey carry.ladt". Somebody who is using bitcoin has adopted it.

Adopting Bitcoin do not necessarily mean that you must hold for a long time before it can be called adoption. Whether you use bitcoin to make payments or you choose to just keep it in your wallet, it's all adoption.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You Don't Need KYC to Lose $10,000. But You May Need It to Withdraw $11,000 on: August 13, 2026, 10:26:42 AM
Even without going through the terms of service of a gambling site,  common sense should tell you that No-KYC is limited based on the amount you win and request withdrawal. Even in some exchanges, you can deposit and make withdrawal to a certain limit without KYC but undergoing KYC verification automatically removes the restrictions to unlimited deposits and withdrawals. 

The truth is just that there is no casino that is 100% No-KYC, it depends on the amount that you requested for withdrawal that will determine if they will request for KYC or not. However, any gambler who gambles with huge amount with the intention of winning huge amount should just make sure they verify KYC upon registration.
15  Economy / Economics / Re: Markets no action no volatility slow and boring and no gains in economy on: August 13, 2026, 04:19:15 AM
Many people have enough, where is volatility? If price swings up and down a lot then profit can be made even just by luck, big guys talking about big plans future plans and btc future prices but its not enough we need money everyday and need to pay bills we want to be traders.

Sure, we need money everyday but that doesn't mean you will make profits everyday. Even in business, it takes some business owners up to a month before they realise profits from their business so you should be patient to wait since there is low volatility. A lot of people have big plans but the big wins do not come in a day, it takes a lot of time to achieve great results so it's not as if you will just make one trade and get all the money you desire.

Don't always live by luck through thinking that you can make one trade on a volatile asset and the price plunge to the moon, if you live with that mentality then you will be investing in many wrong investments because you are hoping on luck to make it big.

I don't care about who wins the UEFA Super Cup between PSG and Aston Villa, my interest is in the Somalia referee Omar Artan who has been given the privilege to officiate on this big stage after the drama that unfolded at the world cup where he was denied entry into the United States. What seems like a disappointment for Omar Artan has now turned into a blessing because I don't think he ever imagined himself being a referee in any European match but today he has been granted the honour to be the referee of the UEFA Super Cup which has made him the first ever referee who is not from Europe to officiate the Super Cup. Congratulations to him.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026 on: August 12, 2026, 05:41:29 PM
Whenever teams are promoted from the Championship League to the Premier League, they don't always look like teams that will stay in the Premier League once the season gets started. However, we do notice that one or two of the promoted teams are strong, and they can remain in the Premier League.For now, they are promoted teams, and they will definitely look like the teams everyone should expect to be relegated, just as almost everyone believes that the defending champion is the team that should have a high chance of winning the title again, based on their performance last season.

Actually, among promoted teams there is always one of them that comes with a fighting mentality to remain in the Premier league. Last season, Sunderland was the bravest of them because the ended the season in a good position, qualifying for the Europa conference league after finishing in the 7th position of the Premier league table. Among the promoted teams for this season which are Hull City, Coventry and Ipswich, the most recent of them in the Premier league is Ipswich because they played in 2024/2025 season before they got relegated again, i think they will be the team that will most likely fight to survive in the EPL because they have passed through a lot to get promoted again. However, Coventry won the Championship, they may likely extend same performance that made them win the Championship into the Premiership. Ì don't know about Hull City because they look like the weakest among the promoted teams.

Bitcoin investment na for everybody and no be for everybody too. If you dey earn low salary, wetin you go do na to dey save small small money for naira, when it don sum up better amount you fit consider to invest in Bitcoin. Make nobody go put himself under stress because say him wan invest in Bitcoin. Bitcoin no dey finish anytime soon, the only difference be say you fit buy am high when you don get sustainable income but e better say you buy am high than to put yourself for high tension while trying to buy when you are a low income earner.

if you are making money for survival and you have people you are depending on you would definitely not have enough to think about investment in any way.
Someone who is in survival mode don't need to sort out bills for anyone except in cases of health challenges. When you are in survival mode or living on low income, it is not a time to lend a helping hand to anybody. It is a time to try and increase your source of income or save some money and start a small business while still receiving salary from your place of work. When you get a balance in your finances you can then help whoever you want to help. The reason why most youths are not progressing is because they are earning low income with high responsibilities. We should have that mindset that without you, those people who depends on you will find a way to survive without you.

Marc Cucurella leaving Chelsea was a huge surprise on the faces on every Chelsea fans because nobody thought for a second that Marc Cucurella will be leaving Chelsea and today they're in the market surfing for his replacement and they found one.
Every player looks comfortable in their team until they receive a call from a bigger team. No player refuses a club like Real Madrid, except if they are not able to reach an agreement. Marc Cucurella saw the opportunity to play in one of the best clubs in Europe and he grabbed it with both hands. I saw how disappointed Chelsea fans felt when he moved to Real Madrid.

Newcastle is now the new Borussia Dortmund of England  Cheesy
I can see, that is what they are doing now but they better be careful to avoid selling all their best players if not they will bear the brunt when the season matches get to heated stage and they need players who can withstand the pressure so that they don't underperform to the extent that they will find themselves within the relegation positions. Newcastle sound about 3 to 4 of their key players just in an interval one year, if they continue selling all their quality players it will really affect the team's performance.
