It was such a misfortune Serbia had to play against the United States before the final as Nikola Jokic deserved to play it and Serbia is a better team than Germany and France but above all given the outstanding performance by Nikola Jokic against Australia. 

But also Serbia was on the verge of defeating the USA comprised of big NBA stars and deemed even better than the first Dream Team that played Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992.

Indeed, Serbia was leading the USA by 17 points and winning the whole game until two minutes before the final. Had Serbian players been a little bit more successful in the last 3 minutes Serbia would have beaten the USA as they were leading the famous American team for 7 points when only 5 minutes were remaining something that nobody had expected.

Farewell Speech!!! Joe Biden Announces his Departure.

 "A republic, a republic if you can keep it" Benjamin Franklin. 

The ambition of Hillary Clinton and the stupid decision by Barack Obama prevented him from running for office in 2016 but after the huge loss suffered by Hillary Clinton, the Democrats trusted Joe Biden afterwards as they did not know how to defeat Donald Trump.

Farewell Speech!!! Joe Biden Announces his Departure. 

Farewell Speech!!! Joe Biden Announces his Departure.

Not only Joe Biden beat Donald Trump clearly, he also was able to revert the majority at the Senate that has been controlled by his own party for the last few years. What is more, Biden got back some states such as Arizona and Georgia that had become Republicans in the previous decades. 

Similarly, Joe Biden rendered a great State of the Union speech last February. However, it is assured Joe Biden aging process was exacerbated ever since hence he was already seen as too old when he was at the G7 meeting in Italy last June. 

Farewell Speech!!! Joe Biden Announces his Departure. 

Affected by an unexpected cold, Joe Biden was overly affected by the first debate of the 2024 American Elections and he seemed so weak that soon thereafter his own political party pushed him to step down from the biggest job in the whole world.

Farewell Speech!!! Joe Biden Announces his Departure.

Abide by his usual humility and addressing a brilliant ten-minute speech where he mentioned the quote by Benjamin Franklin that starts this article, Joe Biden conveyed his farewell message after having been sick for some days because of covid last July, 24th of this current 2024 year.

Farewell Speech!!! Joe Biden Announces his Departure.

FAREWELL SPEECH JOE BIDEN

His four-year tenure has been a huge success for the USA and the Western World and he would have been 8 years in office overcoming everything Barack Obama fulfilled if he had been allowed to run for office back in 2016 when he was ten years younger insofar as Joe Biden would have beaten Trump easily unlike Hillary Clinton who delivered an awful result in 2016.

Farewell Speech!!! Joe Biden Announces his Departure. 

Democrats owe him a lot and by the way, the United States of America likewise.

What is more, whilst years ago Real Madrid had 3 outstanding players such as Cristiano Ronald, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale nowadays Real Madrid misses these key footballers. 

Likewise, once Modric failed his first penalty everything seemed just proper for Manchester City but not this time (again) hence Real Madrid will face Bayern Munchen.

MANCHESTER CITY VS REAL MADRID (1-1- (3-4))

Similarly, Paris Saint Germain will play against Borussia Dortmund. PSG manager Luis Enrique does have a golden opportunity to belong to the exclusive group made of coaches who have won the Champions League with more than one team as Ancelotti, Mourinho or Guardiola have attained. Indeed, PSG VS Bayern would be a wonderful Champions League final.
