I would say that people create too much hype about the Pakistan team's performances when I don't see any consistency in the team. Without any consistency how can one think that they are a good cricketing nation  Huh
One of the major problems of Pakistani cricket is their lack of consistency. I have seen few matches of last Asia Cup where Pakistan performed very well. I was sure that Pakistan might win the Asia Cup. Pakistan won against several teams including India, Afghanistan, Hong Kong and Bangladesh but lost against Sri Lanka in the final. Again their performance was good in World Cup cricket but they could not score runs in the final match. All in all they have potential but they are not able to utilize that potential. When consistency comes into their game they can be hopeful of victory in any tournament.

Pakistan has been playing cricket for a very long time. It is a shame that we still have to say Pakistan has some potential. By this time, there should be one of the finest teams in the world, not a potentially good team. They should have been able to compete against the most competitive teams like Australia, England, and India, and not have one-sided losses. We can often see that Pakistan loses key matches.

It always feels like Pakistanis only keeping their opponent, in a good fight, but not performing well enough to win in many cases. Just like the World Cup final. Pakistan should have been able to do much better. But in the end, the only thing we could say was that Pakistan had given Australia a good fight.

@Tony116 I believe that PCB is at fault here for not grooming player’s well and not helping them cultivate the winning mentality which effects them when they play in important matches. Furthermore if PCB can sort out their issue's then Pakistan can dominate all format’s of cricket for a very long time, but in my personal opinion it’ll take few year’s before they can win matches/tournaments on the same level like Australia, England and team India do.

I see some people who are still staying positive about the possibility of Liverpool to become the champions. But it doesn't seem any realistic to me at all. Because their performance so far has been quite inconsistent and it has caused them to get far away from the leader. There is already a gap like 15 points now. It is possible mathematically but it doesn't seem like that from a logical point of view. There are two big contenders for the league title now. They are Arsenal and Manchester City.

Even if one of these contenders start playing badly and getting bad results the other one would be motivated to take advantage of the situation. Hence it would still be too hard for Liverpool to catch up with the leader. Klopp should just focus on maintaining a long-running winning streak to get into a strong shape again.
Lol Hahah it will take a miracle for Liverpool to end up as league champions this season. Their slow start to the season has been detrimental to their success this season, Manchester city and Arsenal have quite a huge gap from Liverpool and it will not be easy at all to close up this gap. Liverpool are nowhere close to been champions this season they can only battle for the top four spot.
The top four is even going to be very hard for them because Newcastle are showing and are proving to everyone that they can compete for the top four spot.They currently sit behind Manchester city who are second on the league table. And to me,I think the four teams  for the top four spots are Arsenal,Manchester city,Manchester United and Newcastle. I am very optimistic about Newcastle entering the too four this season because of their consistency in the league.They have lost just one of their games,and have drawn three.

Meanwhile league leaders Arsenal are determined to remain top of the league till the season ends,and as such,they want to add some quality signings to add depth to their team,and they have recognised Milinkovic Savic of Lazio and Murdryk of Sharkter donesk as the two additions that can help them win the premier league.Nevertheless,it is left for them to continue this mumentum till the season ends if they want to achieve anything.


@Pulsar77 who’re these people and do they even watch football?, because if they did then they would have known that there’s a high probability that Liverpool would either play in Europa League or the Europa Conference League next season. Furthermore it’s Arsenal title to lose and from what I read so far the board is planning to buy some more player’s for Arteta, hence it’s difficult to visualise any other team beating Arsenal for the title.

B. Fernandes  is so desperate to score the third goal
He has made some good attempts too - but failed. The match is about to end. Job done for Portugal finally they have been able to win the match

Today was the day for B. Fernandes. His first goal was amazing. The second goal is from the penalty. But the attempts he made later were really great.

Feel bad for Uruguay. They had a bad day today and everything seemed to be going against them. Uruguay had some very close attacks, but in the end could not take the match in their favor by scoring. Uruguay will have many equations to think about if they are to advance to the next round. Let's see what Uruguay can do in the next match.


It was really a bad day for the Uruguayan team because they deserve at least a point in this match. They played quality football and attacked the Portuguese team aggressively. Their defense was solid until that tricky free kick from Bruno Fernandez broke the deadlock. The second goal from that penalty gave Portugal the wining but I think that hand ball was not intentional. But one good thing about the Uruguayan team was that they fought till the end.

Portugal are now through to the next round while Ghana have a better chance of qualifying but Uruguay and South Korea still has opportunity to also go to the next round. The march between Ghana and Uruguay would be a battleground because the team we say against Portugal would not give Ghana a free pass to the next round. The Ghanaian team would have to work more on their defense to be able to stop the coordinated attacking force of the Uruguay team.  

@Zlantann I believe that Fernandes can fire Portugal to the semis, but overall Portugal need to improve their game if they wish to reach the semis. Furthermore while Uruguay played well they had themselves to blame for not exploiting Pepe, and if they’re to proceed to the next round then they’ll need to stop showing their opponent team’s defender’s so much respect.

Zero margin odds, I'll have to check out the next matches once home at a proper computer and connection. Been losing badly so far and it's had an unintended effect of me going in more to chase losses haha. Not really looking good so far for anyone who picked Japan to progress out of the group huh? Depending on final game, though they still can pull it off if they get at least a draw if Spain beat Germany and they just camp for a draw?

@buwaytress it’s been really unpredictable so far, and you’re displaying the classic gambling signs of chasing losses hope you have set a limit and you won’t go beyond them in order to recover your losses.

Furthermore group E is very interesting because if all final matches end up in a draw then Japan qualifies, and if Japan draws and Germany wins even then Japan can qualify on better GD and lastly I yet can’t believe that Germany is on brink of elimination so early in this tournament.

Well they were very generous when they launched their signature campaign, running for around many years and ended it already with total payment more than 100/300 btc l if i'm not mistaken back then. Bitsler sigcamp was one of best sigcamp which has best pay rates.
But I am confused why they limit my bet limit if I win a few bets serially. Previously, I had won a few nets on cricket then they limit my bet limit on cricket and now I have won a few bets on world cup and they have limited my bet limit on football. If I violate their terms then they should ban me 0or warn me and/or they should limit my bet limit on all of their game either sportsbook/casino. But they are not doing that and instead of that they are limiting my bet limit only on those which I make little profit.

@shasan did you reach out to the support if yes what explanation did they provide for their actions, because my basic understanding is that all we can do here is speculate but the specific reason can only be provided by support. Furthermore if you feel you were particularly targeted in the past why continue with them, unless they had resolved the past issue but if they didn’t and you yet continued then my suggestion would be to pause playing there till all your issues are resolved with proper explanation’s.

For the Group Stages of the #FIFAWorldCup we’ll multiply your winnings based on how many goals they score in the match



If your selection scores:
2 goals; you’ll earn Double Winnings up to $100!
3 or more goals; you’ll earn Triple Winnings up to $200!

https://stake.com/promotions/promotion/fifa-world-cup-anytime-goalscorer-multiplier

I strongly believe that this a very interesting offer because we’re sure to witness at least 1 or 2 goals per match, hence there’s a good chance of winning up to $100 once the group stages begins. Further I believe that Spain will score more goals per match, hence there’s a big chance to win up to $200 during their match but do avoid England as I don’t really expect them to score a lot or concede easily I’m assuming that they make it to the next round.

Arsenal shouldn't kill two bird's with a single stone and I disagree if they can with the same  set of players the transfer window would be open soon, I do hope they can sign player's to back the once they have currently because injuries can also happen and it will cause harm in the long run. If they can they should just focus on the Premier League. Europa league will be very strong when the next season begins
I think if Arsenal can make a few more suitable signings in the January window they will have more options in different positions in the team and will be able to compete in both competitions without the fear of burning out their key players with the large number and tight schedule of games but I will also advice to focus more on the league where they already have a bigger opportunity to win it than in the Europa league.
In last few days we have updates as Arteta and Arsenal management are working on many players specially they are interested in two big players one from Brazil and second from Bayern Munich with most chances they could be able to have positive updates about this in coming winter transfer window and this is going to be big boost for them after this break because now things are going to be tough for all teams this break is going to have good changes for many teams which can bring good changes in all league tables.

Arsenal is currently at the top of the league table with not big difference, and they need to have good back up with good quality players which bring good improvement and their chances for the title also increased in this season.

@fullhdpixel even if Arsenal buy more player’s then too they should not bother about winning the Europa League, because this is a golden opportunity for them to win the premier league and they should not ruin it by focusing on Thursday night football. Also buying player’s in January is always difficult and Arsenal will have to pay a premium to land any of their target’s, hence I’m not expecting them to secure all their target’s in January transfer window.
1188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: November 26, 2022, 07:53:40 AM
In the match between Liverpool and Real Madrid, Real Madrid is undoubtedly the favorite. Liverpool's team is not weak. They have a strong squad. But their performance is erratic. Squad players are not performing well. In this situation, it is almost impossible for them to win against a strong opponent like Real Madrid. Madrid is an experienced team. At the same time coach Ancelotti is very clever.
If you look at the conditions between the two teams this season, it is clear that Real Madrid will be very favored when Liverpool meet Real Madrid in the Champions League this season. But I don't think that Real Madrid can win the Champions League easily with Liverpool even though Liverpool's performance this season in the Premier League hasn't looked so good and the opposite has been seen with Real Madrid in La Liga. But that cannot always be used as a specific benchmark for the Champions League, because both of them will try hard to perform better in the Champions League.
I do believe real madrid can take UCL for this season. Liverpool was good but consider it has bad performance in EPL and that makes me sure if liverpool can be beaten by real madrid easily. Real madrid was just struggling with its performance in la liga but it has become the winner of group in the champion league which has proven how capable real madrid to bear liverpool in the UCL. I have been picking real madrid to be my most favourite to win the champion league.
Let's see what's gonna happen in the february but it's still very far from now. Anything can happen during the transfer season. Real madrid has been aimed to get some new players from the market. It will make the squad become even stronger with so many superstars

@makishart while Real Madrid is definitely the favourites, but if Benzema doesn’t recover in time then suddenly the odds maybe boosted for Liverpool hence keep an eye on his injury status. Furthermore Liverpool will have extra motivation because they will know that finishing in top 4 is difficult in premier league, hence the only way to secure champions league football for next season is to win this competition hence I expect this match to be very competitive.

After today's game Netherlands-Ecuador we may definitively say that "weak" teams are underrated. With odds 1.36 Netherlands was a huge favourite, but Senegal played really good and was so close to win. Draw (3.89) made tournament host (Quatar) out of game.
I wonder if Saudi Arabia(3.63) will play again one more good game, against Poland (1.42). Until now, many 'good teams' lost and many 'weaker' teams are proud of their success (Saudi Arabia, Japan etc), their morale is really high and we may expect many good games. Which means I strongly consider betting on "weaker" teams.
It seems that in this World Cup and every bet we make we have to be aware of the possibility of losing or we can say never be too confident with the outcomes, even though betting on a very strong team, apart from the match you mentioned the England vs USA match it is also one of how hard it is now to guess who will win, how can that team who have scored 6 goals in one match were unable to score a single goal last night, English players just ran barely able to enter the USA defense area, only about 12 percent or 763 users chose a draw with odds of 4.98 , congratulations to those who chose, can earn 4x from initial capitals must be fun, it's rare to happen.

The nations of UK must now face each, predictably England are going to be massively favored and maybe a score difference is the best bet.
But unfortunately that didn't happen either because the game was the umpteenth game that ended goalless, bet on over thinking England and USA would be able to score a few goals but it was wrong.

@PawGo usually I expect one or two upsets in such big tournaments, but the number of upsets we seen so far is surreal and it just makes me wonder if we’ll see team’s like Saudi Arabia, Japan and Iran progressing ahead as I wasn’t really expecting them to qualify for the next round. Furthermore England’s draw shows that they’re yet not reliable, hence I would advise caution against wagering on them unless they manage to show some improvement in their form.

My predictions for today's matches. The match Portugal - Ghana will be won by the Portuguese. The Brazil-Serbia match is a draw.

unfortunately Brazil is not what you might imagine with lots of star players it would be impossible for Serbia to be able to withstand attacks from Brazil, I saw that match last night Brazil won the match 2 - 0 against Serbia and that made Brazil lead Group G standings with a collection of three points. Meanwhile, Serbia is at the bottom. i think brazil will reach the final  Wink

@plebeyb I never really expected Brazil to lose but have to admit that I was super nervous at half time, but my faith in them was rewarded when they scored those two goals. Also we have another big upset today as Iran has defeated Wales, but to be honest for some reason I could never put my faith in Wales hence I wonder did anyone from here too had doubts on Wale and backed Iran for the victory?.

It depend in how the new owner makes a big change to MU, If really happens the club sold (to any Oil millionaire like Newcastle or Man City), The MU club will change from nothing to something. they will definitely buy the new attacker to filling up the weak position. Too many revolve out there like Mbappe, who is know, there are is still progress, they will make surprise us next. we just wait until the world cup finish.

I really hope that Manchester United is bought by oil millionaires like the owners of Manchester City and Newcastle. Manchester United, which is struggling to rebuild its strength, is in dire need of large funds to finance its project. Oil millionaires have been proven to be able to build a better club. I take the example of PSG, Man City and Newcastle. After being acquired by oil millionaires the clubs turned into a scary club.

Newcastle is still in the stage of revamping and has started to show its strength, if Manchester United is taken over by an oil millionaire it will make the competition in the Premier League even hotter.

@mamesso at this stage there’re two big brands like Zara and Apple that have been rumoured to be interested, and if those oil millionaires come then we’ll witness a solid bidding war. Furthermore I’m sincerely expecting the new owner’s to invest heavily, and back ETH in the transfer market hence as a fan I’m really excited and I’m eagerly waiting to find out as to who’s going to buy my favourite club.

How do you say that Pakistan is the strongest team in recent few years when they are not able to win a major ICC tournament recently? Even if in their home series they lost to England by 4-3 in the seven T20 games series.

Yes, I agree that the Pakistan team possesses some greatest talent in batting and bowling but when it comes to the overall performance of the team, they lack consistency, and hence they are unable to win the series and tournaments.
I believe he might be talking about T-20 performance only.  

IMO They are an excellent T-20 side but okay in ODI and average in the Red ball cricket. @dezoel mentioned the keyword unpredictable and I tend to agree with this term that they are a highly unpredictable team and for this reason, they are exciting even when they play poor cricket.

@JSRAW I too agree that they’re really unpredictable because all had expected them to crash out early in the T20 World Cup, but they managed to reach the finals surprising all including their fan’s. However they do have the potential to become one of the strongest team, but for that their player’s need to have a better mentality because at time’s they just tend to give up way to easily.

BTW the last SL vs Pak bilateral series is under the scope due to a match-fixing allegation made by Srilakan's parliamentarian. ICC anti corruption unit might start their investigation soon.

The last thing that we want. Corruption is such a curse to the beautiful sport of cricket. And again and again such allegations surface, especially from the South Asian region. A lot of promising players had their career cut short as a result of match fixing and I hope that will not happen this time. BTW, I am curious to know how the parliamentarian got the information about match fixing. It is strange that he got the information before the law enforcement authorities and the ICC. I just hope that he is not using this to settle old scores.
I believe this might be a personal vendetta type of story due to political reasons.

But you can never rule out the possibility of fixing even if it's a small percentage of chance. There is a lot of corruption in SL cricket and you add Pakistan's name with the pinch of fixing allegations. Interesting recipe to raise a few eyebrows, let's see.

These sort of allegations will have ramifications well beyond Sri Lanka and Pakistan. I still remember what happened when senior players such as Mohammad Azharuddin and Ajay Jadeja were convicted for match fixing more than two decades back. The BCCI tried to suppress the whole issue, but in the end, things spiraled out of control. A number of sponsors pulled out from deals with the BCCI and ICC and these bodies suffered significant monetary loss. And there was a large decline in TV viewership for live cricket.

I don’t understand why do Asian team’s only end up under the microscope of fixing matches, and it’ll be really disappointing if either team is convicted for match fixing. Lastly for now I would advise people to cautiously comment on this matter, as both team’s are to be assumed innocent until significant guilt can be proved don’t you’ll agree?.

Australia set England a target of 256 runs. The England team came down to bat and were held hostage by the Australian bowlers. England team is under a lot of pressure in batting. England team score, 85 for the loss of 3 wickets in 22 overs. In the fight for survival on the field, the England team is just trying to survive with the bat. The batsmen of the England team are far behind in terms of scores. Australia will easily win today's match as well
From this match and previous ODI too we got that England is too weak and unstable in ODI batting and bowling too , because the early 269 runs partnership of warner and head exposed the england bowling lineup and now batting lineup is under pressure and lose 6 wicket while the runs on board of England is just 90 which will be too woory.
And absence of Ben stokes also effect england bowling and batting.
It is unstable but we can't underestimate England team because we all know that England team performed very well in T20 and all know that it won the world cup too.
Every team has some loose points and England has too. But they can eliminate these issues and can grow at anytime.
Pakistan then played very poorly and gave England the target for very few runs.  So they won that match by luck . So looking at that score they can't be judged as good.  They have not played well in any ODI match.  They are still quite weak in DOI. It is true that all teams have some weak points and one team never always wins.  Yet England are very weak in ODI
Pakistan's low scoring target facilitated England's victory. I will not underestimate England in any way. There is a continuous performance in them which was not in Pakistan. Pakistan can lose anytime against any weak team which is a very rare scenario in England. England won the T20 World Cup. And recently they lost the ODI series with Australia. The two formats are different so I wouldn't say England's T20 squad is bad. England is a reliable team in T20. Hope they will come back and do well for the upcoming ODI World Cup.
Can't agree with your words and I also don't understand why you are underestimating Pakistan like this, if you go to see few matches recently Pakistan won against not only bad team but good team like New Zealand. I think Pakistan's bowling side can easily destroy a strong batting side but it is true that their batting side is very weak now and they have to accept a lot of losses for that.
Yeh bro you can't underestimate Pakistan team batting and bowling, because Pakistan is in the list of those team which has ability to beat any big team like  India , england, south Africa etc. It's true that Pakistan Middle order is quite weak but Pakistan batting opening pair has most hundred partnership that any other , Pakistan is that kind of team which can beat India by opening just like england did recent, and in recent World Cup we beat Netherlands team who beat South Africa we also beat Bangladesh, new Zealand too. & Bowling has no need for explanation 😜
Every team has come strong and weak points and as the world knows Pakistan strength is its balling attack and batting wise Pakistan's team is weak and unpredictable.  Similarly England strength is strong batting lineup and balling wise its ok. If in recent ODI England failed to perform that doesn't mean that it is a weak team , it's a phase and they'll come out of that and they'll come out stronger than before.

@coinism it’s clear from this series that Australia are a better side in the ODI format, and England has to rebuild their ODI team. Furthermore I’m kinda surprised too by how easily Australia won this series, and it seems to me like England player’s are not at all keen to play ODI format now and if that’s the case then England selector’s should find player’s who’re yet keen to excel in this format.

^  I'm starting to think when Guardiola and City showed interest on Ronaldo was nothing but a master class in reverse psychology which caused United to panic and react in a manner they wanted.  Lol.  They prolly knew United acquiring Ronaldo would be a problem once he's in the team.

And of course Solskjaer intended to let Ronaldo play regularly because why would he decide to acquire him to be on the bench?  But he's a problem.

I think what's best for Ronaldo is to play the rest of his pro career back in Portugal.
I think it was real, he very nearly signed the contract for Manchester City but he was talked out of it by ex-Manchester United manager Ferguson. That has been mentioned in the media many times.

If he did manage to play a season for Sporting Lisbon before moving to the MLS to play until retirement, that would be a fitting end to his career and one he would probably accept happily.

honestly i don't see tottenham finishing in the top 3, for me it will look like this:

1 - Arsenal
2 - M. City
3 - Newcastle

4 - will be tottenham or manchester united. as for liverpool and chelsea
I would say Newcastle United will fade as the competition progresses but Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United will gain more points. I expect Liverpool and Chelsea to play Europa League football next season:

1: Manchester City
2: Arsenal
3: Tottenham Hotspur
4: Manchester United

His current problem is, the ego that doesn't want to admit he has begun to lose his power. Technique, stamina we can already see, he is not as strong and good as when he was young.  His ego didn't want to be taken down, he felt he was still quite capable yet he was wrong.

If comparing with Messi is certainly far away, Ronaldo is two years older, it is natural that Messi is still quite good at PSG. Let's see where he's going? I think he must have moved, but I don't know where.
There is no way any 37 year old can play as though he used to play when he was 27, that is impossible but Ronaldo adapted from being a speedy winger in to a goal scoring sensation. If you look at the dismal display by Messi when he played for Argentina in their defeat by Saudi Arabia you will see that on the biggest stage in global football anything can happen and Ronaldo will try to ensure he does not suffer the same fate.

@tokeweed City actually wanted Ronaldo, and you’re wrong again Solskjaer didn’t want Ronaldo and he was forced to play him because the board wanted Ronaldo in playing 11 because of his commercial value.

Furthermore I feel that Newcastle will cling to a third or fourth spot, because while they say that they won’t buy anyone in January I feel that they’ll end up buying player’s which will give them further juice to survive in the top 4 till this season end’s.

As a team that doesn't have good financial and that's the way used by dortmund to generate profit from football. This club is focusing to develop the new talent. It has been very well known by so many people if dortmund was pretty much the same like arsenal in the past when it was only developing the player to be sold for profit in the market. These kind of team can be called as profit oriented team. Dortmund will always try to sell its player that got a big offer by another player. It can be said if dortmund was not focus to win the trophy.
Getting big profit from selling the player was more than enough for dortmund but so many stars have come from dortmund.

But the departure of star players also depends on the wishes of the players themselves, because even though Dortmund often sell good players, there are also players who choose to stay in Dortmund even though they have received offers. For example, the current captain of the Dortmund team is Marco Reus, who has been playing for Dortmund for ten years. At least this case is also a small piece of evidence that not all of Dortmund's key players are easy to accept the offers that are available.
But yes, this is very rare indeed, because most players of course have different desires in football, like those who are young and want a title that they can continue to achieve.

It seems that when Dortmund realized that it was difficult to break Bayern Munich's dominance, maybe that was also one of the reasons they continued to release their key players.
Because at the same time, if Dortmund retain their key players, then Dortmund must also be prepared to provide a contract extension or a new contract which of course will cost more money.
So, there are many factors that prevent Dortmund from retaining its key players, this is also a way to keep them financially good and healthy.
that's actually right, dortmund think about if he has small chance to win the title and why did dortmund need to defend its player? Let them out with so much money as return will be much more beneficial for the club. dortmund known as a team that generated so many stars.
Remember that if once a team was winning trophy and it was also getting money as a reward. Dortmund didn't wanna lose such big offer that will not come again for the second time. I do like how dortmund think about the club was putting financial more than everything.
Bellingham already targeted by so many clubs. He may leave from dortmund next transfer season. I don't even think dortmund wanna try to defend him as long as he will be exchanged with bunch of money.

I don’t believe that Dortmund was keen to derail Bayern’s title campaign ever, because for quiet a while they sold their best player’s to Bayern so how can a team win by strengthening it’s closest rival?. Furthermore even Haaland would have landed in Bayern, but Manchester City saved Dortmund from being embarrassed by buying him first however I strongly feel that Bayern will successfully buy Bellingham and Dortmund will happily sell to them for the right price.

Intentionally or not it was too much punishment for not being able to play in 3 matches. It seemed that referee Gil Manzano was not in the best of moods at the time.
Lewandoski explained regarding his gesture which was considered insulting to the referee, he said it was shown to the bench and not to the referee. Lewandowski will try to appeal the sentence.
Lewandowski also admits that his debut at Barcelona will not be easy and will go according to plan, but he is trying to give his team the best.
Robert Lewandowski had to go through many hurdles at Barcelona because he is a very professional player so all problems are faced calmly. An unprofessional referee will be carried away with feelings so he cannot think logically as a referee has a logical task, not using emotions.

The situation on the field will be very different from what we see and also, the referee who leads the course of a professional match, of course, the referee is also a professional with a certificate and other supports. I just don't think that referees who lead big matches like Barcelona, ​​are led by unprofessional referees and it doesn't seem to make sense.
Because after all, one's emotions on the field will increase, moreover in this era there are also many referees who experience this and make the same decisions.

Getting red cards is part of football and I don't think Lewandowski should appeal. Because if he doesn't accept the decision, then Lewandowski has no challenge in his career.
At least with the red card obtained can make a big lesson to be even better in the future, as a professional player Lewandowski should be able to accept this and be aware of it.

@hahay Lewandowski is a true professional and I agree with him that this ban is way too harsh, and hopefully it’ll be overturned once the hearing on this ban begins. Furthermore La Liga is completely different to what he was used to, and therefore I believe that it’s only a matter of time before he completely settles and starts scoring goals like he used to do when he used to play for Bayern.

It was sad that the reunion between Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester united didn't last long, the fans were expecting things to work out between both parties as it won't be wise to lose a player as decorated as Cristiano Ronaldo and it was our dream for him to retire at the club that made him the superstar that he is today. After the interview was released, it was just a matter of time before everything will turn ugly and we knew that Manchester united would terminated his contract because what he did was very disrespectful.
Nobody should be bigger than a club or it'll lead to future disrespect from younger players that are looking up to this current superstar. I wish Cristiano Ronaldo all the best in his career. Who knows he might just retire if he wins the biggest trophy of them all in the ongoing tournament at Qatar.
Nobody knows if C. Ronaldo will retire or not after the ongoing world cup in Qatar, also nobody knows if Portugal will be the country that would win the world cup, Portugal is good, but the world players in other countries are also very good.

C. Roanldo was very disrespectful is just the truth. He moved from Real Madrid to Juventus because Juventus is always strong and reaching up to semi final in Champions League, but it did not work out, he left the club unexpectedly and join Manchester United, nothing again, but hoping it could be like when he first joined Manchester United and won Champions League. His going would be good for Manchester United if they start focusing on younger players.
I think retiring is the final decision and at this point in view of Ronaldo's condition and his high level of competition it is clear he will not make this the final decision.
He can still play for at least a few more years and his body condition is still quite good even though his productivity is starting to decline.
There are also several clubs who are trying to get close to Ronaldo but at the moment he is keeping quiet but as of now I am pretty sure that he will still continue to play and will not decide to hang up his boots after this incident.

I don’t understand why will he retire now when he can actually play for 2 or 3 years in a top league, or move to USA and play there. Furthermore whatever happened was bad but in a way I’m happy, because he was getting wasted on the bench and he was getting a huge wage per week which can now be used for buying a new striker which Manchester United badly need.

Argentina's record of 36 matches unbeaten ended in today's match. Maybe many fans still can't believe that Argentina was defeated by Saudi Arabia. Argentina's game today was really random, I don't know why they played like that. The next game is against Mexico, who are a very good team, Argentina will have to work hard to improve.
I also did not expect and was very surprised when I saw Argentina defeated by Saudi Arabia today. Even though in possession of the ball on the field, it was very clear that Argentina was far superior to Saudi Arabia, but Saudi Arabia managed to make a very good surprise in this match so that they got the win. This is really something I never expected before the game started.

I find it strange what happened on the pitch today, did Lionel Scaloni not coach his team well? Or has the stamina and ability of the Argentine players decreased? In my opinion, the average Argentine player is a world star player, but for some reason today's match I considered it so strange, even though it was only 2-1 I still feel that I have not accepted that Argentina was defeated by Saudi Arabia.
I feel that there is a big game behind today's Argentina match loss, do you guys feel the same way?

This is beyond my expectation.

@Dickiy this was a classic case of one team playing with over confidence while the other team played with nothing to lose, and thus full credit’s to Saudi Arabia cause they gave Argentina a timely warning that they can be defeated too.

Furthermore I wonder if someone just for fun had selected Saudi in their bet slip, because they would have gotten monstrous odds before the match began and now I wonder if this upset will cause many here to wager on the underdog team in the hope of earning a big amount when their selected team causes an upset.

Furthermore, they have also been able to maintain a very consistent level of performance. As a result, they are being rewarded for their efforts. And I think we should give them credit for it. But the main thing is they will have to play consistently in the future as well because we have seen how they have performed poorly in the later part of the season.
Who thinks Napoli are lucky, they forgot how Napoli played in recent seasons. we know, Napoli failed to get title and even experienced a decline after entering the second half of the season. However, the process of improving their game can be built from there. This season could be the peak of their best performance. I'm not saying it will 100%, because the results of the world cup for their players and the results of the transfer windows of all teams in Serie A can affect the final result. Become the top of the standings at this time is not a lucky but this is a process of their efforts over the last few seasons. just waiting for their consistency for more time and not making the same mistake again to get the title.

Napoli is playing really well, and it is not a coincidence. Also performing really consistently. And that consistency is needed if they want to win the title.
I am just waiting to see how they will perform after the World Cup because it might be hard for them to continue with the same pace after a big break.


We saw Napoli's performance last season as well. Napoli fought for the title in the previous season as well. But due to a lack of consistency in performance, they could not win the title. But Napoli has learned from their mistakes in the past few years. And they are stronger now by correcting their mistakes. Their performance this season has surprised everyone. They are playing very well and dominating almost every match. Although each team played only 15 matches. But if Napoli can maintain this kind of performance, it will be very difficult for Milan or Juventus to take the title away from them. However, I want Napoli to champion this season.

Napoli is ahead right now in terms of the race for the title. They are way ahead of everyone else.
When they come back and start playing again they are going to have basically a head start.
I hope that they will be able to take full advantage of that.

Napoli is playing an excellent championship but let's not forget and let's not underestimate Milan who has an excellent coach and who is bringing the team to the times of the past, especially remember that the real championship has yet to start because this world break will certainly not benefit any team.

@mendace a lot will change by the time this World Cup will end, and the key factor then will be what kind of mentality can Napoli coach get from his player’s because if they lose focus then they’ll suffer another heartbreak this season too. However I personally feel that this season they’re really close to winning the title, and I feel that they totally deserve it too but nothing is guaranteed in football and thus they’ll have to fight for it till the very end.
