Portugal has a number of star players in their squad. But I agree that Ronaldo is the most important player on the team. And Portugal's coach Fernando Santos has designed his match strategy around Ronaldo. If Ronaldo plays well, the team will win, if Ronaldo does not play well, it becomes difficult for Portugal to win any match. Thus it is very risky if a player depends on the team. Because the Portugal team only depends on Ronaldo. So I don't consider Portugal as the favorite for the next World Cup. The coach should have focused on the other players on the team as well.
That's true. What is still not understood is why Fernando Santos does not stop assembling the team like Ronaldo was 25 years old! And that's Portugal's problem, continuing to play like a youth 10 years ago. Although the players of that time no longer have the same physical condition. There are several Portuguese players of great quality, who, because of this old style of play, are not being put to good use. Dependence on ronaldo is indeed something that must be abandoned by portugal at this time, in my opinion even though ronaldo is still able to play but still his current performance is no longer the same as before and it is better for Santos to give young strikers the opportunity to fill Ronaldo position without having to throw Ronaldo , I think Santos should be more able to shift Ronaldo position as a motivator or leader for young players in the squad rather than having to make him the main striker throughout the game, nowadays many young strikers are quite good from Portugal but unfortunately they can't show their abilities because they don't get greater playing opportunities. |

Fulham will face an opponent who is in their 5 matches without a win, Newcastle. This should be a match that Fulham can win if you look at the trend of this opponent. Another advantage is that they will play this match at their own home which will make Fulham more confident in front of their own supporters. Fulham themselves have not been consistent and they have had ups and downs in every game, but this week it looks like they will give me the advantage.
Fulham last 5 matches - 5 wins & 2 losses Newcastle's last 5 matches - 4 draws & 1 loss from this, it is clear that fulham is a pretty tough team. while the head-to-head between newcastle vs fulham also shows that fulham dominates; 11-03-2017 Newcastle 1 : 3 Fulham
12-05-2019 Fulham 0 : 4 Newcastle
22-12-2018 Newcastle 0 : 0 Fulham
19-12-2020 Newcastle 1 : 1 Fulham
23-05-2021 Fulham 0 : 2 Newcastle it's hard for Newcastle to win in this match. I'm actually quite surprised by the Newcastle owner as if he doesn't really care about his team, even the quality of the players tends to be normal. A few seasons before maybe we could underestimate Newcastle when they faced Fulham, but this season it is clear that Newcastle quality is above Fulham, Newcastle game has started to improve even though they have not been able to maintain a perfect result in the 7 matches they has play but the 5 draws they have can show that they cannot be underestimated now, the joining of some good players has made the Newcastle squad quite capable and I think in the next match Newcastle will be able to get the full 3 points at Fulham home, my prediction is that Newcastle will win 1-2 over Fulham. |

If you've been following both team games this season, you'll know that Arsenal has only had three good games this season, against the likes of poor Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, and Brentford. The rest of the games we managed to pull out results by chance, and they weren't anything special. When you watch Manchester City play, you see a team fighting to retain the league title, whereas when you watch Arsenal play, you see a bunch of kids fighting for a top-four finish. Using the most energy at the start of the season is not a problem, but maintaining the tempo for a longer period of time is, and this is where Manchester City edges out Arsenal. Without a doubt, I think that is one of the facts in comparison to both teams for Manchester City and Arsenal. Manchester City have better squad depth, they have dominated the Premier League in 5 consecutive seasons and they have managed to maintain that ambition so far. It's hard to believe Arsenal will be able to compete with Manchester City at the top of the table this season until the end of the season, so I don't believe Arsenal will be able to maintain their good form in the next many match. I'm looking forward to Arsenal vs Tottenham, if Arsenal win then I might have to change my view of them more often for every next match. Against Tottenham will be a real test for Arsenal, in the last few weeks many have made Arsenal a title challenger club just because they are able to win 6 wins from 7 matches, but I think Arsenal are still far from being candidates for champions this season although they are now at the top, If we look at the 6 victories their got all from weak teams, but while facing a big team like Manchester United but their lost and I think Arsenal will get the second defeat against Tottenham later, so far Arsenal have always been inconsistent against big teams and that's why I really doubt that Arsenal will be a worthy challenger to City for the title this season. |

In fact, we can understand what Xavi is like as a coach by seeing Barca's progress. As he is a former legend of Barca, he wants Barca to play like before. And he also knows how important Messi is to Barca. That's why he might want to bring Messi back to Barca next season. Whether Messi will come to Barca now is a personal matter for him. Hopefully we will see Messi again at Barca.
We don't deny that what Xavi is doing in barcelona right now is extraordinary, he managed to re-develop and raise the level of barcelona that had previously fallen, the closeness of messi and barcelona I think is still well maintained and maybe it will be easy for Xavi to convince Messi to return to Barcelona because after all Barcelona is the home of messi, besides Messi bad relationship with Mbappe can certainly be a trigger Messi to leave next season, especially Messi is currently reluctant to extend his contract which only has one year left. |

De Jong is a player that Erik ten Hag wants so much that throughout the summer transfer window of 2022 Manchester United made several proposals to Barcelona although Barcelona also refused several times. That's a sign that Erik ten Hag really likes the former Ajax Amsterdam midfielder. It is very unlikely that De Jong would not like the tactics of the Manchester United coach if he played in England with Manchester United.
Apparently you did not follow this story well, since in the end the transition did not take place only because of De Jong's decision to stay in Barcelona. Barcelona would have been happy to sell him (and be free of a huge salary obligation) and United to buy him, but De Jong himself didn't want to go to a club that didn't play in the Champions League plus his girlfriend was against leaving Barcelona for England. The speculation that occurred on De Jong transfers was full of controversy and also took a lot of time, Barcelona had actually agreed on De Jong move to Manchester United but reportedly De Jong actually rejected the move for unknown reasons, but Barcelona reportedly has a debt to De Jong made it possible for De Jong to intervene in Barcelona decision so that the agreement with Manchester united was canceled at this time, reportedly also De Jong did not want a move and also did not want to cut his salary so this caused confusion for Barcelona. |

1st winner
2nd winner and
3rd Winner.
Say your mind.
1st: England 2nd: Germany 3rd: Portugal This is my list for the FIFA World Cup 2022. Germany plays well in my opinion, but they are missing something. That’s why I don’t think they’re going to win. My gut tells me england will win this year.  You have a good list of candidates for the title but somehow I don't think Portugal will be able to go that far in the future, I personally see that England might just suffer the same fate as last Euro 2020 which was only runner up or maybe even lower later , for the Qatar world cup, I believe more that the young Spanish squad will be able to talk a lot later because so far the performance of Spain which is filled with the majority of young players looks quite potential, while for the championship of course Brazil and Germany are my choices to enter the final. My prediction: 1st place: Brazil / Germany 2nd place: England or Spain 3rd place: France |

Yes I agree with you, although Wolves are unbeaten at home, but today their record will change. Manchester City need full points to at least overtake Arsenal, the biggest possibility is only this match. But I can't predict the next match against the red devils, because the Red Devils may could be made a surprise again for us, the current performance of the Red Devils has improved incredible.
I think today manchester city remains the favorite to win the match, but wolves performance at home which is quite good of course will likely give manchester city a fierce fight, the impressive performance of manchester city at this time is possible if they can get 3 points though maybe with a little difficulty, next week manchester derby may be more interesting because both teams have been in impressive form so far and for Ten Hag maybe the derby match later will be able to proof to the fans that manchester united has bounced back. |

I think Ajax are a good team but are not built to lift the champions League season after season, what happened to them reaching the final was a fairy tale journey, it happens once in a long time, so disappointed that Tottenham cut that story short, I think Paris Saint Germain wants to put that trophy inside their cabinet,it has been a long time and I think they have a better squad to do that now, last season was an adapting process for Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos I think these two can makes a difference this season, while Manchester city seems to have putting what has been missing in their team by bringing a striker like haaland so I think they might nail it this season. Ajax need a miracle to reach the final in the Champions League, but it is always possible if they can impress in every game and progress from round to round until the final. Their chances are very low compared to other teams, so I'm sure their journey this season in the Champions League will not reach the quarter-finals. Qualifying for the round of 16 is ok for them, but who knows even though Liverpool and Napoli seem to be stronger than them. So far we know Ajax as a dark horse team that often surprises in the champions league, but like you, I also really doubt if Ajax can perform well enough this season, indeed they are still in good form in the Eredivisie League but for the champions league it looks like it will It's very difficult to get out of the pressure of Napoli and Liverpool, last season Ajax could look quite impressive even though they were stopped in the last 16 because they have a capable squad, but this season many great Ajax players have moved to other teams so it seems that Ajax journey this season will only end in group phase as you said. |

The Bundesliga is the most boring league among the five big leagues in Europe. Bayern Munich will do wonders again and their opponents have little chance of winning.
Freiburg is way above expectations in the league and in the Europa League. Currently, Bayer Leverkusen has attracted negative attention, but they will recover.
Bundesliga is no different from Ligue where only 1 or 2 clubs dominate in the league, I personally agree with your assumption but I think not all matches in the Bundesliga are boring, sometimes some small teams are also able to surprise big teams like Gladbach who often times have brought nightmares to bayern munchen so far and also to union Berlin who managed to hold munchen to a draw in last week match, but I think despite all the surprises in the bundesliga, of course we can predict quite accurately who will finally get the trophy in the end of the season and obviously very different from some other leagues which is very difficult for we predict who will be the champion in the end of the season. |

I think it will be another drama for Dortmund because I think they will still hold Bellingham in the same way as when Haaland was in Dortmund.
They won't be in a rush to let go of their young players especially when the price isn't really to their liking.
Every season Dortmund seems to be busy with drama of potential young players lol. Dortmund have made good transfers in the last years and these players have developed brilliant so that they could sell them for a lot more money. Look at Jadon Sancho, bought for 21 million euros and sold for 85 million. Erling Haaland the same. Bellingham will maybe be the next one. Dortmund has good coaches and they can get more out of many players. That bringt a lot of money in the last few years. In terms of seeing the potential of young players, of course, dortmund cannot be underestimated, so far dortmund has succeeded in nurturing young players which are bought quite cheaply and they have developed so that they have a very high market value, but unfortunately the greatness of dortmund is not accompanied by their championship achievements so far and making fans quite angry because dortmund is more focused on business than trophies, nowadays many clubs are trying to buy Bellingham from dortmund and just like Haalaand of course if there is a club that dares to pay high then Dortmund will not hesitate to immediately release Bellingham later. |

Although this week Manchester City will face an opponent who on paper they are much better, but they must remain vigilant with surprises in the game. I can't say that Manchester City are stable at the moment, because in some games they have struggled. But their performance is much better, especially in attack with Haaland as an actor.
After we absent seeing the football match last week at the end of this week we will again watch the premier league match, from several existing matches of course the match between Wolves and Manchester city is an interesting match, on paper I think it is clear that manchester city will excel in terms of squad depth but I personally hope if Wolves in the match will be able to provide a strong resistance, besides that, the match against Manchester city will probably be a debut match for Costa and of course it is quite anticipated whether he will be able to show his sharpness in the premier league this season. |

Even we can check quality of many big teams are on decline but Juventus case is surely strange as players are doing right now most chances soon we will have Allgeri is going off from his job because now players are not happy with him and his tactics which are not working properly, and they are going down badly.
There are several rumors about Tuchel being linked with Juventus following Allegri's current condition who is not very good at concocting the formula for Juventus but this is still just a rumor because it is rare for them to change players in the middle of the season but the possibility is still there when his performance is still like this I think . Juventus still have quite good players and can compete but due to some conditions their performance is still stagnant. Juventus current performance is the same as last season which continues to get bad results so as to keep them away from trophies, it seems Allegri ancient strategy is now very easy for opponents to read and maybe that could be the reason for their poor performance in Serie A and Champions League, I think current juventus fans have lost patience with Allegri and even a few days ago when the match against Benfica ended a lot of fans started tweeting #AllegriOut on twitter and I think it's time for juventus management to evaluate Allegri before things very get worse, with back-to-back defeats in the Champions League will of course make it difficult for them to be pass the next roundstage because so far Juventus have not get a point. |

James Rodriguez has signed a long-term loan contract with Olympiacos from Al Rayyan. The unveiling of James as an Olympiacos player will take place today. Number 10 will be his shirt number. As a result of this deal, two best friends, James and Marcelo, can spend more time together. I am very happy about the reunion. It's great to see you back at European Football and at Olympiacos, Rodriguez. Olympiacos is now my favorite team, so I can stake my money on them!
James and Marcelo are two players who are experienced enough so that it is very useful for Olympiacos to go through this season, the arrival of Marcelo and James will certainly make Olympiacos stronger and able to compete in the Greek and European leagues, actually Jamez has good performed so far with the Qatar club Al Rayyan, but his desire to return to Europe forced Al Rayyan to loan James to Olimpiakos at the close of the Greek transfer market, I think even though James is no longer young, but he is still able to show impressive performances in playing so far. |

From yesterday’s game, Yesterday I was able to pick up some sights of improvements on their style of play. The midfield looked set even though it wasn’t well organized when defending. At least Raheem Sterling and Reece James were able to run at defenders and were also having good linkup. I think going forward they looked better. People shouldn’t be jumping to conclusions after 1 game with the new manager in charge when he's had so little time to effect things.
Their new manager of course takes time to adjust to the players. and make the best strategy and squad choice for him. Seeing some of the movement and possession of the ball by Chelsea is quite good. but we have to see it against a stronger team. then we will see the success of Chelsea with their new coach. There's no need to rush, fans and club management should give the coach more opportunities. Potter has just joined chelsea so it is unlikely that he will be able to revive chelsea in a short time, maybe there are many who doubt potter's capacity to coach a big team but I think Brighton performance so far can be proof that potter is a good coach, Brighton was originally a club weak but has now become a strong club under Potter coaching and it's not in an instant, so it's good for chelsea fans to continue to support Potter every his step of the way, because after all Potter needs to do a lot of improvements in terms of strategy and how to play chelsea which is still visible as a relic of Tuchel, I think with potter ability maybe we'll see a change in the next two or three weeks. |

Manchester United lineup is out and it’s a first team players that will face Sheriff. I know Erik Ten Hag will go with his strongest 11 because the Crystal palace game was postponed and there’s no EPL game this week, then next week is international break. Since they lost the first game, they’ll have to channel all that it o winning this very game, not just winning but winning with a big score line.
The postponement of this week in Premier League match made it possible for Ten Hag to field his best squad despite facing a team like the sheriff, and now it is proven with a complete squad that Manchester United managed to score 2 goals in the first half, although the match still leaves a lot of time but it looks like the victory will be Manchester today, the defeat of Sociedad last week became an evaluation for Ten Hag in developing a better game plan today, including in terms of optimizing every available goal opportunity. |

you will see that Juventus will rise again like the phoenix
give him time to work on Allegri, he has to fix a team in disarray
Definitely Juventus will rise again. Juventus is a club that as good players but due to how the players are having injuries it is really affecting the team performance in different leagues. If the players should quickly recover it is possible for Juventus to bounce back to a better position. Juventus are not as expected at the moment even though at the start of the season they looked quite strong, but after a few games they started to weaken and even looked difficult when they had to face a weak team, I don't know what caused the decline in Juve performance at this time but I think it's tactics and Allegri strategy is now starting to be read by other teams so it's easy for other teams to anticipate it, indeed we have no doubt that Juventus will come back to increase, but I'm afraid later, when Juventus have risen but they are far behind like last season when they were out of the championship competition. |
