Advancing to the knockout stage should be easy for Croatia. They may still end up as no.2 in the Group F, given Belgium is likely to top that group (I won't rule out an upset though). In the next round, they are more likely to phase the winners from Group E. This is where it gets complicated. At this stage, their opponents will be either Spain or Germany. Although these two teams are not in very good form, I would consider them as having the upper hand against Croatia. So getting past the PQF round will be quite tough for Croatia.
I agree that Croatia shouldn't have problem advancing to the knockout stage. But I don't agree that Spain or Germany would be tough for Croatia to beat and advance to the quarterfinals. They are good teams but in the League of Nations Croatia has shown that they can win against any nation. Argentina and Brazil are the biggest favorites in this year's World Cup. Both teams are very strong. Many of the players from both the teams have been playing in different good clubs, due to which they are performing well. Hopefully Argentina and Brazil will meet again at the World Cup, with the whole world divided into two halves to enjoy the game. @Sithara007 I don’t believe that Belgium are guaranteed to top the group, because when it really matter’s they tend to choke and thus I feel that Croatia can top the group ahead of them. Furthermore even if they end up second I yet would favour them to win against Spain or Germany, because I personally feel that they’ll play better football then those two team’s and stun their opponent’s with their winning mentality. |

One of the games that will be exciting tomorrow will be liverpool vs napoli, but it seems that napoli first position is almost guarenteed because liverpool team need to win with a large score in order to take the first position and their opponent napoli are on fire so its not even sure that they can beat them liverpool performance and results has been poor recently i expect the game to end in a draw.
It was not an exciting match. Totenham's group is a very interesting match as there was only 1 point gap between any team. If totenham would not able to win and that totenham may not go to the next round. It's about dead or alive match between all of clubs in the group. Liverpool and napoli have been confirmed if both will be going to the last 16. Is there an interesting thing from that match? i don't think so. I think that you shall try to watch it. The fact that if these days people will pay more attention to the group D. There are not confirmations about which team that have been confirmed to go to the next stage as all of team have 25% chances to go to the last 16 Tottenham will face a stern challenge from Marseille who know victory will secure their own place in the knock-out phase. Marseille will want to play and dominate in this game since they’ll be playing at home. Marseille will tend to have the majority of possession in this game and they know the onus is on them to go for it tonight. But it might also work to Tottenham’s advantage because they prefer playing on the counter-attack. Tottenham will have to win tonight without Antonio Conte, who misses out through suspension.
Every game in the Champions League is challenging; each side must play with intent and let the other team know it. Marseille is a highly well-organized team, and they won't treat their match against Spurs lightly. Due to their respective injuries, Recharlison and Kulu will not be playing for Tottenham. Conte's absence from the stand due to his ban is a major issue for them. To qualify, Tottenham Hotspur must draw this game. I have been strongly predicting that Tottenham will have to win Marseille in their Champions League meeting tonight despite that Tottenham is going to travel outside England but realising now that Tottenham will have to appear without their coach who was booked during their last match had made me understand that that aggressiveness I initially thought Tottenham would give might be lacking because it is going to be Conte that will always going to be shouting from outside the pitch, who will do his work tonight? @Lordhermes these are the matches where Conte brings his best tactics out, hence I believe that Tottenham will probably win and advance to the next round. However if they fail to advance then I won’t be surprised if Conte decides to leave at the end of the season, because he’s only likes to coach a side that play’s to win and Tottenham player’s have disappointed him many times already, hence it’s safe to assume that he’ll leave if they’re eliminated. |

Some good news coming in. German legend Philipp Lahm (captain of the world cup winning team of 2014) has stated that he will boycott Qatar 2022. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-11095127/Philipp-Lahm-plans-BOYCOTT-World-Cup-Qatar.htmlI am happy that at least some of the footballers view human rights as more valuable then all the money power which Qatar can offer. The human rights issue was swept under the carpet when FIFA awarded Qatar hosting rights for the world cup in 2010. But now more and more players are speaking against this issue. And also, it is reported that hotels in Qatar are refusing to accept room reservations for LQBTQ couples. When Gareth Southgate spoke against this, Nasser Al Khater tried to intimidate him. It's a shame that a wonderful sport like football, in its greatest competition, is going to be filled with controversies outside of the field. It's such a strange place to host the world cup, we'll see how it goes, but it already has a lot of controversies happening, and it's not even started yet. Hopefully the focus is on the matches and not on the events happening outside of the field. This is nothing new when it comes to football. Weren't the former heads of FIFA and UEFA, Platini and Blatter, in prison on charges of corruption. Many independent journalists and investigators have already repeatedly accused FIFA and UEFA of corruption, especially in connection with the awarding of the hosting of the 2018 World Cup to Russia and 2022 to Qatar. Football has long passed from the romantic phase to the money-making phase. First the money, then the football game and the fans come next  Unfortunately, there is corruption in every different area all over the world. Even the simplest work is bribed. This has become a kind of law of the world. As such, it is inevitable that there will be corruption in the world of football, where very big money is used. But after the tournament starts, everything will be forgotten. Football fans all over the world will start watching the matches and will watch the matches with excitement, waiting for the champion. I hope that Qatar can handle this burden with the least problems as much as possible. Yes, unfortunately, that is true. When the World Cup starts, everything else is forgotten and only football becomes important. It is obviously very difficult to fight corruption in football and try to prevent it. We can only hope that the World Cup will meet the expectations of the fans and that we will watch exciting and high-quality football matches. The World Cup is being held at a very unusual time, for the first time in history in the middle of the club season, and the question is how it will affect football players and their game. @Daniel91 I believe that the media will try to paint a nice picture of Qatar, but on social media we’ll be seeing many complaints and I sincerely hope that the player’s don’t get distracted by these event’s. I'm pretty sure we will hear a few stories of people in jail or similar for drinking in this world cup. And that will occur all the time, between matches, which I'm sure will distract a bit from the game itself.
In Qatar, alcohol is available only from licensed hotel restaurants and bars. But fans need to remember that being drunk in public is considered as a criminal offense in Qatar. So having one or two drinks may be OK, but anything more than that will land some of the unruly fans in one of the notorious prisons in the middle east. Smuggling alcohol from outside is also considered as a criminal offense. And as far as I know, none of these rules have been relaxed ahead of the world cup. And those who try their luck with smuggling weed or cocaine will face beheading, as Qatar has the death sentence in place for drug smuggling. @Sithara007 I really hope that fan’s do not break any law there, because then it’ll a nightmare for them to escape from Qatar and lastly I hope that FIFA will run ads and educate fans on why they should strictly follow the rules there. |

Arsenal dominated in their 5-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, it was well deserved and they sit two points clear at the top of the Premier League table. Manchester United won 1-0 against West Ham United to climb up to 5th place. I will post the current table when I have time. All in all it was another excellent weekend of premier league football Arsenal were really solid against Nottingham today by getting a 5-0 win.
They were very comfortable in this game most of the time. Nottingham found some chances in fact while it was 1-0 but couldn't make use of them. After finding the second goal Arsenal just started to put on a great show. Partey's goal was really classy by the way. Gabriel Jesus is still having problems on scoring. He had some important goal chances in this game also. Especially the one in the 85th minute was an absolute chance but he missed the ball by inches I'm afraid. But I believe in him to recover and start scoring again soon. He was still impressive with 2 assists anyway.
@JollyGood Arsenal are in terrific form and I have to be honest that I have underestimated them a lot this season, but now I have no doubt in my mind that they can beat City for the league title. Furthermore Manchester United could do much better in yesterday’s match, because the competition for the top 4 spot is getting very tough hence they can’t afford to drop any more point’s or win matches with one goal only. |

My Saturday Soccer Tips - (29/10/22)
England - Premier League
Fulham - Everton (29/10/22)
@Blawpaw to be fair even I thought that both team’s would at least score one goal, but there was lots of drama in this match especially regarding that penalty but sadly it wasn’t given and the match ended in a draw. Is the site working for any of you guys? When I go to the options for sports at the side, I don't see the usual list that we regularly see. 'Popular', 'top sports' and 'all sports' are all blank. Is there anything wrong with the site or is it just me?
And when I go to live and upcoming, it's all blank.
@tokeweed which browser were you accessing the site from and was it updated to the latest version, and did you try another browser too because it clearly looks like a cache issue so trying a new browser or clearing your old data should fix it for you. |

Good day, everyone, does some of you experience the same problem here in roobet, my account login is currently expired and says that I need to reset my password which is I did right now upon checking to email there's no received came from roobet so I tried to reload many times, and then I tried to use the forgot password feature I received recovery and then upon logging in the new password roobet says me again that my login password is expired and need to reset again and now it becomes a loop I can't log in my roobet account.
Tried logging in sometime earlier and ran into a similar issue though it wasn't an endless loop for me. Double-checked that this was legitimately Roobet after which I proceeded to reset my password successfully. I was able to access the site pretty quickly without any issues. Talk to their customer support in order to resolve your issue. @Peanutswar did you try using a different search engine?, cleared your cache and cookies and was this issue only seen on Roobet or other sites too?. Furthermore if it’s yet not working then the issue is at Roobet end probably a hosting issue, hence you should reach out to them like @Haunebu said but if they say that they can’t spot this issue then see if your ISP has blocked them as I have seen ISP blocking gambling sites before. |

For some reason, we all have concluded that when bull starts and bitcoin price increases, the price of FUN token will increase as well. Even I think the same and hope that FUN crosses 80 satoshis soon  I hope it's not too much I am asking for. Basically we can't conclude anything overnight, bitcoin is still too far from ATH even though it's always possible to hit ATH again. The price of FUN Token is supposed to increase following the bitcoin price trend, but in any case it really depends on the trader's interest in the market. A good future is of course expected, but the development must remain consistent and this is a big challenge for any project. That is a good point. Without consistency in development no project will last for a longer time. Lets take ETH for example, it's a huge project with consistent developments which is why it's at rank #2. As long as FUN is integrated with freebitco.in I think there will be developments in place which benefits freebitco.in as well the FUN token project itself. @pawanjain we have discussed this before too, and I personally believe that FUN tokens should be held for at least 2 - 5 year’s to get solid ROI. Furthermore I would strongly advise not to buy them for short term gain’s, because these tokens will only give you gain’s in the long run and if you’re impatient then these tokens are not where you should park your money, as the project is solid but it’ll require lots of time to grow. |

Big weekend of Premier League football coming up. What takes your attention boys?
My main bet in this round of Premier League is Tottenham to win against Bournemouth, but I am secretly hoping Southampton can perform one miracle and win against Crystal Palace, and they like winning as outsiders. I am expecting easy win for Man City and Liverpool in their matches, and they will try to put Arsenal under pressure in their Sunday match. Haaland is questionable for tomorrow but if he plays than betting on him scoring is always a good option. @notblox1 Tottenham are facing a crisis, and it’s not that they’re playing bad but for some reason it’s not working for them hence I won’t be surprised if they ended up losing this fixture. Furthermore without Halland City may just struggle, because he was single handedly scoring goals for them hence I feel that they may end up drawing this fixture. |

Do the free spins already finish if not so hoping that the free spins are included I'm my country because not all the games is supported to my current state.
The 40K free spin is not yet stared. It will start on October 29th to 31st so the promotion is still not yet started. You should post your entry on the game and rounds board thread. Also the eligible slot for this bonus is from Bgaming slot provider. You will have no problem about provider restriction if you can enter the casino freely without VPN since it has same country allowed to casino ToS. There is a lot of players too playing with same country as ours on this slot without problem. I’m sure you can claim your free spin without a problem buddy. I do agree that one can use this offer via VPN, but please make sure that you’re not using a VPN of a country which is banned from wagering, and I would further recommend to reach out to the support staff to ask about IP address issue in case it’s a public VPN, because that could get flagged as a multi account user. I do believe that this will go on as well, first Halloween then other stuff and eventually Christmas, and then new years, we are in a period where it’s really good to spend money, it could be gambling, it could be shopping (black Friday is coming up too so there will be something in all casinos but cheaper products in shops) and many other things.
I know that it’s not going to be an easy thing, but we should be living it all at max if we can afford it to see where it will take us, because blackjack.fun will certainly give us all they can give in order to gain more customers but also keep their customers (us) happy as well. This looks like just tip of the iceberg for sure.
In a period like that where there will be so many promotions, it can be said that almost all casinos will hold them. Players will choose which ones are interesting and can give more. Players will spend more I think because esspecially in Christmas and New Year is a holidays so a lot of time can be used to play. Waiting for what the casino will offer in those moments. @FanEagle we definitely should see more promotions as we head towards Black Friday, and then around Christmas and New Year’s time so save your funds well and then wager in the promotions which can get you solid ROI. |

Arsenal's condition when compared to Nottingham is clear they are much better and indeed the chances of winning are actually much bigger but the problem is their consistency now.
At the moment if you look at them in the last few games it is clear that their consistency is a bit questionable.
They need to create momentum in this regard and of course Nottingham could be the perfect place for them to hit the ground running again.
The last game Arsenal played in the Europa League signaled Arteta was more focused on the EPL than the UEL. Arteta fielded a young squad against PSV, even though losing meant nothing for Arsenal because they had already qualified for the last 16. Arteta don't want to lose any more points as happened against Southampton, in this match Arteta is really serious about preparing his troops to achieve the target of victory. Nottingham who is in the most distended position is not a commensurate opponent for Arsenal, although Arsenal team quality is superior to Nottingham, Arteta will still field his best squad to keep his position safe at the top of the standings. I know because the difference in quality between them and young players is clearly incomparable and of course this is to increase the flying hours of the young players. but for the EPL too they lost a bit of their goal productivity. in their last 2 matches against Leeds and Southampton it is still proof that they are struggling a bit at the moment. @alpamar99 I don’t feel that Arsenal are going to win this match easily, because Forest showed that they can beat the big team’s hence Arsenal can’t let their guard down against them. Furthermore if Arsenal loses this match then it’ll definitely be a cause of concern, because it’ll put lot’s of pressure on them as City is waiting for them to slip and lastly as we all know that each and every point will be very valuable at the end of the season, hence Arsenal can’t afford to lose if they seriously want to win the title. |

Yes, it is true that Union Berlin squandered a chance they could have turned into a win against Bochum and with their loss now Union Berlin are only 1 point adrift of Bayern Munich. If they can't be consistent then it will be easy for Bayern Munich to move them from the top of the table.
In the Europa League they are also very difficult to qualify because all 4 teams in the group have the same points. Now they are playing games and the score is still 0-0.
One point behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga is a threat for Union Berlin this season, because if Union Berlin can consistently win against teams other than Bayern Munich, Union Berlin will definitely be a little overwhelmed when they meet Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga because Bayern Munich will do its best to displace Union Berlin from the top of the standings. In the Europa League, Union Berlin has started to improve its position by placing second after a narrow win at home against SC Braga. @Alanaz Union Berlin will have to step up their game and try and win all the remaining matches, because whenever they’ll slip Bayern will be there waiting to reclaim their top spot. Furthermore if at the end of the season both end up having the same points then Bayern has an advantage, because of a higher goal difference hence Union Berlin should focus on scoring more goals too. |

Napoli - Sassuolo is going to be the first game of this week. Napoli are shown as the absolute favourite by bookmakers of course. Their odd is not worth betting on also as it is 1.30.
Napoli are still on an unstoppable run and they haven't lost a single game so far in 11 league games. They even added important wins to their series against teams like Milan and Roma recently. This is technically a more comfortable game for them after facing Roma last week. They even had a big dominance against Roma so this should be another similar game for them. Sassuolo might sometimes be a threat to big teams in the league. But I don't see that strength in them this season for now. Maybe both teams to score might be a nice option considering their last 3 head-to-head games.
@ILuckyGuyI you’re absolutely correct about Napoli’s chances of winning this fixture, and further I believe that they’ll be extra motivated to win as they have a genuine chance of winning the league title this year. This week Juventus will play against Lecce. Maybe they have not been to their best performance because they are still in a sad state after being eliminated from the champions league. Juventus is still in 8th place, of course that's not a good thing. La Vecchia Signora must win if they want to move up to the top 5 in the Serie A standings.
@rendravolt I’m not sure if Juventus will win, because they’ll be distracted by the fact that they have crashed out of the champions league and to be honest they have not been playing good at all hence wagering against them makes more sense. |

You don't seem to understand the problem of Barcelona. Barcelona has ideology problem and coaching problem. Barcelona team has great individual players like Lewandowski, Raphinha, Dembele, Fati, De Jong and many more that I cannot mention. They have players that can match Bayern Munich and other clubs but Xavi got it wrong. Why do you want Dembele to leave? Is Dembele the problem of Barcelona?
Barcelona has good players they need Xavi to change method.
They are obsessed with tiki taka but they did not realize that tiki taka has already been decrypted by so many coaches and teams. If they keep continuing to obsess with tiki taka, they are self-damage their progress to rebuild the club. Not mention their player quality nowadays is worse than years ago and they should accept a fact that Barcelona nowadays are no longer belong to most powerful clubs in the Europe. If they accept it, they will have a more relevant approach, use a better tactics for their players. Additionally, a club can not rely solely on attacking to win matches and titles. They can if their attacking system is dominating in all matches and can cover weakness of defense. In reality, it is not what Barcelona attacking system have in this season. Barcelona have the required players to meet up Bayern Munich strength in UEFEA and the both team players have the finished strikers with skillful wingers. There's absolutely nothing wrong with barça players, it's just that Xavi always start with the wrong lineups.
I disagree with this comparison. Barcelona have a lower quality than Bayern Munich and they are completely at different levels. Bayern belongs to Tier 1 and Barcelona belong to somewhere in between Tier 2 and Tier 3. That is why they will join Europa League soon. He should start the good players other than the familiar ones, like Frankie de Jong who have the strength to defend and he's also creative. There are also some players in the team that he give them insufficient playing time like Ansu Fati, I believe Fati is one key player because he's versatile and always good with forcing the ball to his opponents box. It's time for Xavi to drop the old players and start with the young ones who are eager to play games.
I agree that both De Jong and Fati should be given more opportunities to play. They are both good players especially De Jong who was a very important player for Barcelona before the return of Xavi. Fati actually needs chance to play and improve after a long injury in the past season. I don't expect an outstanding performance instantly from Fati but Xavi must give this player more playing time. @hd49728 Xavi started well, but he’s trying hard to please the board by taking decisions like keeping De Jong out of the team or playing him in defence and when a coach does that it effects the entire team’s morale. Furthermore even though they’re out of the champions league they can yet challenge for the La Liga title if Xavi choses player’s on their merits and tweaks his system to accommodate his current set of player’s, but if he choses to repeat his mistakes then he’ll not win the league title this season too. |

As we know that Paris Saint Germain is very ambitious to be able to have star players in their squad. And now they will definitely do everything possible to keep the star players who are now in the squad as part of them. They will not care how much money they will spend to keep the players from leaving. But of course it will be the decision of their players to stay or choose to leave and find a new club.
Lionel Messi has been tipped to return to the club he came from, and chances are he will. We'll wait and see.
After getting a big won a day ago, the owner thinking hard to hold the squad, especially the trio MNM (Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe) on PSG maybe for the next 2-3 years. Maybe this is the strategy for business also while the club created the achievement, and this is to make the target change to how to get a double winner for this session. And Messi, Many speculations to him being back, but I thing it's not for this year, may be possible for the next session or if he were able to get in what the owner's target want. if the PSG President will keep the trio they have in the main squad. it means that the ambitions and targets given have not been achieved. they are still trusted to bring PSG to glory in Europe. Messi is a great player, but given his age, I don't think that would be a goal for the business. Neymar and Mbappe may still be valuable assets for PSG. Mbappe is still very young and has a good game. @blue Snow I feel that Messi won’t leave PSG, because Barcelona won’t be able to afford him and PSG will offer him more wages ro stay hence he’ll continue to stay at least for a year and then return to Barcelona just before he retires. Furthermore Mbappe is being over paid and many in PSG board room too are feeling that, hence if a offer comes in for him then they’ll probably consider letting him go and then use that money to reinvest in the squad. |

I don't see Son succeeding in Real Madrid. His advisers should tell him to avoid Real Madrid. Son will not have good playing time in Real Madrid and he will possibly be like Hazard in Real Madrid. The kind of players Real Madrid want is a standing striker like Haaland, not people like Son.
Real Madrid has great young forward like Vinicius, Rodrygo and Valverde. I don't think that they need Son to add to this group.
Son have excellent performance with Tottenham Hotspur on every season and seems faced difficult with main position if want to move Real Madrid depending his position is the same with Vinicius Jr. Son seems frustrated with Tottenham Hotspur although have top performance and give many contribution for team on every match, but he not get any trophy yet trough stay long time with Spurs. Based on several rumor about Real Madrid manager Ancelotti interested with Son, but I don't think how competitive at his position will easy to get regular in starting eleven, seems Hazard as best player at Chelsea before moving to Madrid get difficult to be main player on ever match, he loss regular position with Real Madrid team due have impressive performance from Vinicius Jr. Competition at Real Madrid will certainly be difficult for Son. Vinicius is young and he is very energetic. even though Son moved and tried to get a place in the main squad, he certainly had to work hard. especially now that we can see how Vinicius and Rodrygo play, who always get the main place. or interchangeably. it all depends on Son, who wants to be ambitious for a trophy or a place in the main squad. @Pandu I feel that Son will slot in well because of his vast experience, and look at Modric he’s done so well for himself hence there’s no doubt in my mind that he’ll settle in well at Madrid. Furthermore while Vinícius has done well so far but he’s yet young and playing alone side with Son he’ll get to learn a lot from him, thus if Son gets a chance then he should probably seal this transfer. |

I caught the last two sets of Alcaraz v Draper last night, Draper did really well by winning
the first set and almost bringing the third set to a tie break.
There are a lot of players present at the ATP Basel who have been making headlines recently,
Felix AA and Rune! I think this will be very interesting to see how these games turn out when
these young guns meet each other.
It was finally a strong performance from Alcaraz after some setbacks. I'm glad to see the number 1 seed winning again. It was not clear, or at least I was not sure how the game would end after Alcaraz lost the first set. But Alcaraz made a comeback. He did well but I also think Draper put his heart and soul into this match. But in the end, it was not enough for Draper. I think we are going to see a clash between young players. Especially players who are not only young but also really competent players in this game. Expectations are going to be high from Alcaraz. As we have discussed Alcaraz mentality is not that of a kid anymore, he has focused, but sometimes there are mishaps and it's understandable. You can't take anything from Draper, he fought good in the first set winning it, but I guess Alcaraz have to remind himself why he is the top seed and it could be just enough to motivate him and won the next two games and a close third set. Later we will see Rune vs Alex De Minaur, and this is going to be a good match. That should indeed be a good one, it's the first match of the day, I'm not betting on that the odds are not that favourable even on handicap. Some other interesting matches are: Felix AA v Huesler - That will be a good test for Felix up against a player with the home crowd behind him, I have Felix to win though. Also Alcaraz v van de Zandschulp could be interesting, the Dutchman could trouble Alcaraz a bit. @kemarit indeed Alcaraz displayed an true champions mentality after going down in the first set and then winning the match, and thus I believe that he will only keep on getting better as he advances in this tournament. Also now he’s up against Van de Zandschulp, and I strongly feel that he’ll easily win this match too because of his terrific form. |

Read it in the forum that yesterday match between Pakistan and India has been watched by 11 million people online.
That is the biggest event - bigger than World Cup final
During the last over, Hotstar live stream was being simultaneously watched by 15 million users. And at no point, it dipped below the 9 million mark. These are encouraging signs for Disney-Star, who spent more than 3 billion USD to get the ICC media rights for 2024-27 cycle. A lot of people were of the opinion that Star overestimated the bid. But the Indo-Pak match once again proves the potential of sports live streaming in India. Given the rapid growth in users who watch through streaming, Star will he hoping that by 2025 or 2026, the user base may reach 30-40 million. @Sithara007 these are in fact positive signs for Disney, and since India often play’s against top team’s more I’m sure that they’ll be able to recover their money in the long run as those matches will get them lots of views. ICC is being biased in some places and opposition in others. But he has to come back from these two types of behavior. It is the ICC's responsibility to see other countries the way the United Arab Emirates or Oman should be seen. It can be said that if any organization who takes the responsibility of care again behaves biased, then I think this organization is a big barrier for the expansion of cricket.
The cricket is now more of commercial stuff then to the promotion of the sports. UAE and Oman are already rich countries they can create their teams - but they need to have thier nationals for the team No doubt every thing is now commercialized because in last two decades life is very fast and every second counts, so surely this commercialism is going to be grown, and we will have good and bad both tastes of this as you mention ICC I also want they do some good things for this game. We have better entertainment which is necessity of the time as well but here we have these both teams are playing without any native player which is never been good with this many complications can happen like few teams like Nepal and Zimbabwe are suffering here ICC needs to have any solid rule about this like four or five native players must in side surely will give better result for all countries, and now it's time for having more countries added into shorter format which is now also good development. @jostorres I do not feel that this rule of native player’s should be made mandatory, because many under performing player’s will then be slotted in and it’ll not be good for the team or the fan's who watch the match. |

Here are the results for completeness' sake. I didn't watch the race tbh. Lol. Felt like Ferrari could win it as Verstappen could be on a mental holiday but no... He's still into it and wants to win the rest of the races.  Greedy mother fker. 2022 F1 United States GP Race Results1 Max Verstappen NED Oracle Red Bull Racing 56 Laps 2 Lewis Hamilton GBR Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team + 5.023s 3 Charles Leclerc MON Scuderia Ferrari + 7.501s 4 Sergio Perez MEX Oracle Bull Racing + 8.293s 5 George Russell GBR Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team + 44.815s 6 Lando Norris GBR McLaren F1 Team + 53.785s 7 Sebastian Vettel GER Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team + 65.354s 8 Kevin Magnussen DEN Haas F1 Team + 65.834s 9 Yuki Tsunoda JPN Scuderia AlphaTauri + 70.919s 10 Esteban Ocon FRA BWT Alpine F1 Team + 72.875s 11 Alex Albon THA Williams Racing + 75.057s 12 Zhou Guanyu CHN Alfa Romeo F1 Team Orlen + 76.164s 13 Pierre Gasly FRA Scuderia AlphaTauri + 81.763s 14 Mick Schumacher GER Haas F1 Team + 84.490s 15 Fernando Alonso ESP BWT Alpine F1 Team + 85.078s 16 Daniel Ricciardo AUS McLaren F1 Team + 90.487s 17 Nicholas Latifi CAN Williams Racing + 1:03.588s Lance Stroll CAN Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One Team DNF Valtteri Bottas FIN Alfa Romeo F1 Team Orlen DNF Carlos Sainz ESP Scuderia Ferrari DNF Mexican GP this weekend guys. Perez prolly gets the win here? 2022 F1 Mexican GP ScheduleFriday 28 October Practice 1 13:00-14:00 Friday 28 October Practice 2 16:00-17:30 Saturday 29 October Practice 3 12:00-13:00 Saturday 29 October Qualifying 15:00-16:00 Sunday 30 October Race 20:00 14:00 @tokeweed even I’m kinda surprised that Max won, and it seems that he’s yet hungry to win more races and further it’s clear that he won’t let his opponent’s win even a single race. Furthermore I expect Max to once again be competitive, and besides him I feel that Hamilton can win the Mexican GP and Ferrari as usual will be happy to just race and won’t win this race too. |

For the EPL maybe this is true, but when the Europa League is clear it's a difference because as far as I know as long as they play games here Ronaldo is always the first choice as a striker. Regardless of whether he is meant to be a rotation player or not, of course we can see that he is still needed but maybe it will be a little different after seeing the condition of Ronaldo and Ten Hag now, especially when he was banned from playing against Chelsea some time ago in the sequel EPL.
Ronaldo has been in the squad of all the Europa League matches that was played Manchester United, even the match they will play on Thursday Ronaldo will also be in the lineup. Ronaldo has seen good amount of matches in Europa but very small amount of match in the EPL. I don't know if a Erik ten Hag want to be rotating his players by making Ronaldo to be permanent striker for Europa League and giving other players chance in EPL. Just that people like watching Ronaldo play, he should try to be bringing him on. For the Europa League, Ronaldo will definitely be the starter because apart from being able to rotate Rashford in attack, this is also the rule, considering he has continued to play in the starter during the match in the Europa League. But the question is will Ronaldo be comfortable with what happened last week with the Ten Hag? Because this is still the main thing, we know that Ronaldo has a pretty high ego. This Thursday they will play Sherif at Old Trafford and it will probably be answered whether Ronaldo is still considered or not in the United squad. @rby prior to the incident Ronaldo was a guaranteed starter for the Europa matches, but unless he agrees to be a substitute player for the rest of the season he won’t be allowed back in the team. Furthermore if he fails to patch up with the coach, then I expect Manchester United to play with a false 9 and it’ll be interesting to see who gets that role Fernandes or Eriksen. |
