Portugal has the opportunity to talk more in this World Cup with the players it brought. But of course it is not easy to say they are favorites because other countries also have the same potential. I feel this year's World Cup is more difficult to predict because most of the countries that make it to the final have less significant strength, so every game will always be a surprise in my opinion. Can't wait for a few more days.
I would not consider Portugal as one of the top-5 teams who are favorites to win the world cup this time. Cristiano Ronaldo maybe the best individual footballer at this moment, but the team balance is not there for Portugal. They have some young promising players such as João Félix, Rafael Leão and Gonçalo Ramos. They have scored a lot of goals in La Liga and Serie A, but at international level they are quite inexperienced. I am not sure how much support CR7 will receive from these younger players. If he doesn't receive much, then he will be under enormous pressure. As one of the most senior and most experienced member of the team, Cristiano Ronaldo is heading to his fifth World Cup. Because of his experience, he is under a lot of pressure from his fans to win the World Cup under his wing. It depends on how the team works together whether they win or lose. Lots of young talented players in their squad, waiting for an opportunity to shine at the international level. It's even Cristiano's hope it will be a beautiful ending. |

There is no doubt that 99% of crypto will not survive. Consider how much impact this FTX event will have on Solana or the entire crypto market. Don't get involved with Solana or anything related to Solana. Because it was too juicy, I wanted to find out how much it would drop. We have already done a lot of damage though. It should be interesting to see what happens next, as nearly everyone here holds a particular coin and wishes death on those who do not.

Here we go dears as the England won the match and what batting by the England. They made me the fan of the their batting lets see what is going to happen in the finals haha PAK vs England this T 20 cup was full of surprises. As Pakistan made to win the emi finals and England won semi finals. That is what it ia but if India vs Pakistan was there then game level you can't even imagine.
In this match, the Indian team was completely annihilated, losing heavily. I thought India would win and a match between Pakistan and India would take place. However, after England's performance, the final is shaping up to be a great match, battle of the opening pairs! Although England appears stronger, Pakistan could surprise you! This England side is too deep for Pakistan to beat. Shaheen Shah, however, has the potential to skittle England's top order. |

168 runs is a good score, but India should have aimed for 180. Thanks to Hardik Pandya, the big match player and good finisher as well. Stepped up when the situation called for it. Hardik played a brilliant and calculated knock. Hardik contributed 63 runs in just 33 balls for the Indians to end the inning strongly! 169 runs are needed for England to win. This pitch could be conducive to Indian bowling line-ups by seeing how England bowls.

The Premier league is a very competitive league and so far this season only Arsenal have shown to be serious contenders and challengers against Manchester City. Though Manchester City are looking too strong against other EPL teams but they have lost a game and drawn twice this season to smaller teams so I won't be surprised if they draw or lose against Brentford in the next fixture.
I don't expect them because in the beginning of session I have favorite to Liverpool to compete Man City for this session. but Arsenal is going more unpredictable today. Only PSV and MU that can able to beat them. Arsenal also have big chance to get the tittle because not many player who plays in world cup which means less chance of injury and fatigue. and when talk about City and brentford, they have 90% won on Etihad. Arsenal is winning more matches than everyone else at the moment, which is how the EPL is won. Arsenal has a chance of winning the league in the opinion of Mikel Arteta. When the Premier League breaks for the World Cup, which team will be on top? There are only injuries to worry about at the end of the World Cup, and there is a need for more high-quality players on the roster. The advantage will surely go to Arsenal. The task is not easy, so let's see if Arsenal can succeed, otherwise Man City will. Now, we're focusing on every match. |

After analyzing the financials, Binance is not buying FTX, so what can we expect from FTX token? For CZ, this has always been a power move, and the goal has never been to help the industry, but to obliterate competitors. Here, there has been an astounding amount of market manipulation. As long as FTX Token exists, there will be flooring. It's all about trust! Now is a shaky time for the crypto world. The crypto space will only suffer as a result of this. We will get to the other side.

Sadio Mane injured for about a month, no world cup for him and Sengal chances of doing something down the drain. I am sure big Bayern victory yesterday was enough for him to be happy about  I am expecting a lot of strange results in this last week before WC, with top players missing out or playing with handbrake. I also heard about that news or rumor just now. As far as i know it is only the L`Equipe that reported that as of now so it is not officially confirmed yet by Bayern Munich, Mane himself or his national team. If it really would turn out to be true then it would be a huge low blow for Mane himself and an even bigger one for Senegal as a country. Mane really is a national hero in his country and he is far more than just a great football player for his fellow countryman. So i am pretty sure that Mane himself would be devastated if he could not participate in the WC this year. He is 30 years old and in his prime. It would really be a shame. I am quite sure it is legit. Bayern played yesterday and Mane got injured early, he was unable to continue and was substituted in minute 20. His facial expression was quite dire and I belive that possibility of missing world cup was in his mind immediately. I hope he pulls some miraculous recovery but not counting on it. It is confirmed that Sadio Mane has been injured, which is circulating everywhere. As a result of an injury he sustained during Bayern Munich's game on Tuesday, Sadio Mane will miss the World Cup. Senegal football fans would be devastated by this news. With the amount of games they have already played, many players are going to miss out. There have been injuries here and there as a result. There is no news regarding this from Bayern Munich or the Senegal football team. In my opinion, he won't miss the World Cup. His strength allows him to survive quickly. |

It's Pakistan's turn now. As a result of their victory over New Zealand, Pakistan have qualified for the T20 World Cup Final. Today, Pakistan played very well with tremendous intent, and it is the right contender to advance. Although Pakistan had some luck in this tournament, today it was Pakistan who completely dominated over Kiwis. Pakistan just outclassed Kiwis in the semis due to dropped catches, poor bowling, and missed fielding by NZ players. I'm curious to see which team makes it to the World Cup Final: England or India.

Considering that before the world cup Pakistan defeated Newzealand in the final match of tri nation series in Newzealand the odds for today's match look awkward. As usual Pakistan is a unpredictable team and in the last two matches they have played exceptionally well. Newzealand have been consistent with their game throughout the tournament but have been struggling with their batting. They have the best bowlers for these kind of pitches who have the ability to change the game.
It is very hard to predict this match but I feel the odds for today's match should have been same or a slightly different for both the teams.
Pakistan was one of the favorites when the tournament started. They had this big win in New Zealand under hostile conditions. But then, this is the same team that went down against Zimbabwe. A lot was talked about the New Zealand pace triad before the Super-12 stage. But they are yet to showcase their full potential. Today's match is extremely unpredictable. It can turn out to be a very close match, or a completely one-sided outing with one of the two teams proceeding to face India (most probably) in the final. There are only two games left before the trophy is lifted. This is a big opportunity for Kane Williamson, they were close last time too, but this time they'll do their best and take advantage of it. This time, NZ has a great chance. Ultimately, it depends on which team showcases their full potential on the day of the match. Pakistan may introduce their valiant efforts, which will be yet another disappointment for New Zealand. It is necessary for New Zealand to play in big tournaments if they want to win them. Otherwise, they will finish second or third. |

So fantastic ! Raphinha in and make an unexpected score, I think it's offside and the ball bounces out but not, its a goal. Although only 10 players but Barcelona can managed to steal 3 points from Osasuna, it was quite a tense match. Now Barcelona are in a comfortable position stay away from Real Madrid, without Lewandowski Barcelona actually have good striker but indeed losing 1 player makes it difficult for them.
Yes, so far I see Barcelona back from like achievements in the past. Seem like I haven't seen this for a long time, this is a good moment to bring greatness when Madrid is lost in what he has on the team. So, I still doubt who the Hero?, is Xavi ? or the team especially players like Lewa and Pedri? Or does Madrid have a bad performance?. So, 5 points left or 2 points left when Madrid won in the rest which I thing is hard to hold the table when Benzema finds his performance next. We're all pleased to see the boys playing so well, maintaining a high level of consistency and leading the points table. La Liga's top team now has a five-point advantage over Real Madrid after their win against Osasuna. The team managed to win and achieve the lead regardless of the numerical shortage. As a result, Barcelona is returning to its past achievements. Real Madrid are too dependent on Benzema, Ancelotti must find a way to avoid further losses! |

Napoli won again and Milan lost points, they have now +8 points versus the second team!
The draw of Cremonese vs Milan is really very bad and unfortunate. How can a big club like Milan be held to a draw by a club like Cremonese who enter the relegation zone? This is Milan's poor performance. Now, Napoli becomes more powerful and the point difference from other clubs is much higher again. It's hard to imagine a team such as AC Milan failing to beat Cremora FC. AC Milan's defending champions have suffered an unexpected result. Following tonight's draw against Cremonese, they are now eight points behind Napoli. It's over now, and Napoli has made it to the Champions League semi finals and also won the Serie A title. There is no time to waste for AC Milan to step up their game. |

In fact, we are all interested in the game between Bayern Munich and PSG. I think this game will be very competitive as the team that loses this game will be eliminated from the league. Firstly, I think PSG's attack is the best, while Bayern Munich's defense is stronger. Hope both teams will play desperately. Now it's just a matter of time to see which team wins.
I see Bayern ahead, but always dangerous when the PSG attack is in a good shape, but they have a way of destroying PSG attack. My sincere hope for all the players is that they come back fit from the World Cup so that we can enjoy two great games and not have to discuss afterwards -what if this player or that player had been fit? Or this loss is because this player or that player isn't fit. As the game between Bayern Munich and PSG drawn, things are already getting spicy. The absence of Lewandowski will be tough for Bayern. The result would have been PSG's victory over Munich. There's no doubt that PSG has the best player of all time and an attack that is top-notch. It's going to be a disaster for Bayern. The World Cup is just around the corner, let's hope those key players stay healthy. |

New Zealand bowlers are in top form at this moment. Pakistan will face tough challenge from them tomorrow, during the semi-final match. BTW, Pakistan need to improve their batting and there is no doubt about it. So far, they don't have a single batsmen among the top-10 run scorers. Shan Masood has scored the maximum number of runs for them, at a strike rate of 115. Iftikhar Ahmed and Mohammad Rizwan are the only other batsmen who have scored more than 100 runs so far. Even for them, the strike rate is quite low.
After the match between Pakistan and Bangladesh I think Pakistan bowling is far better than Newzealand. Pakistan star bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi was bowling far better than what he bowled earlier in the tournament. Newzealand batters do struggle playing the spinners and Pakistan spinners have proven that they can not only get wickets but can also control the run rate. Pakistan opening pair are a concern but their middle order has started contributing to the total score. In all the first semifinal game would be full excitement and upset. As one of the most consistent teams in ICC events, New Zealand is always in the semi-finals. There is a very cool and non-fussy way in which New Zealand goes about its work. With Williamson as a leader, New Zealand can easily conquer the Pakistan team. Even though Pakistan recently defeated New Zealand, they are still the best team at the World Cup. We'll see who dominates, but New Zealand deserves a trophy. |

I didn't watch Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid match, but it is so surprising to see the results in this way, this results is just the opposite of how many people thought about today's game. Rayo Vallecano really tried to win Real Madrid that many expected to win the match.
Vallecano was playing so hard against real madrid. It's even giving a hard game rather than against barcelona. Vallecano was playing very offensive against real madrid. It seems like that this doesn't even expected before. A bit surprised that real madrid was loosing in this match but that's not something that needs to be disappointed. Real can come back again very soon. Loosing the match is something understandable as long as it will not be facing lose streak like what happened with another club. I hope real will be consistent again for the next matches. Real Madrid had the game to win… they missed a lot of chances. But overall, Rayo Vallecano was quite better than Real Madrid. I saw this defeat happening. Ancelloti needs a backup for Benzema. Anytime he's not in the game they struggle upfront. This was the situation last season when he got injured. They should have been proactive knowing that this same thing might occur again. Rodriygo couldn’t handle the forceful duels from the Vallecano players. Now this defeat means they trail Barcelona by two points at the top of the table. Again, top players aren't present, and look at what happens to them. Due to the absence of Benzema, they were beaten mercilessly. Thus, Real Madrid loses their first game in La Liga. This was a very bad exposure for Madrid. Throughout the entire game, most player played poorly. I didn't expect this. Against Rayo Vallecano, Mendy was at his worst. For that wing to be competitive, Madrid needs to find another left back. Vinicius looked exhausted, and the manager made the wrong decision to keep him on. Although Asensio played well, he did not receive any support. |

Liverpool vs Real Madrid
Real Madrid and Liverpool seem to have strong chemistry, this match reminds us of last season's UCL final, last season's UCL final Real Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0. There is a slight difference in this match, Liverpool inconsistent appearance makes Real Madrid have the opportunity to dominate Liverpool again. Champions League finalists will meet in the round of 16. It's the same old dominance over Liverpool again. There will be no problem for Madrid. Possibly Liverpool have another chance at revenge, but their inconsistent performance convinces anyone that they won't be able to take the lead easily this time. The match is going to be extremely challenging, but I'm not sure why Liverpool has such a hard time. |

I guess people will pay a lot of attention for the match between barcelona and MU. Barcelona may good in the domestic league but the performance in champion league was so bad. CR7 will be facing barcelona again. it may make him feel interested with that match. I hope that CR7 will be played against barcelona. MU needs to play serious to be able beating barcelona. The most interesting match to be seen. Just wanna see how serious MU to rebuild its team after the lost against aston villa in EPL. I will vote for MU  I think that is the most interesting game in the first elimination stage of the Europa League yet I find it extremely difficult for Manchester United to qualify.They were pathetic in the yesterday game against Aston Villa where they lost 3-1 which is a really bad result for them. On the other hand Barcelona just got top of the table in the La Liga yesterday and they may lose it eventually if Real wins tonight but yet they show perfect form,in Champions League they were in a very strong group with Inter and Bayern Munchen but now I think they have huge chances to be Europa League winners this year. this is a big match where ronaldo again has to face barcelona in the first preliminaries and i know that ronaldo has a long experience in facing barcelona. On the one hand, these two teams are equally inhabited by quality players and it is difficult to guess who will lose in that match. but I'm more sure that Barcelona can win that game because their focus this season is to win the trophy and that will be proven when they have to face Manchester United. on the other hand juventus got an easier opponent because they were met with FC Nantes which on paper juventus can win this match. Heavyweight match once played in UCL. It's an unfortunately that both teams no longer resemble their former selves. There was a Champions League final between them 11 years ago. It is now difficult for them to compete in the Europa league. What a fall from grace! Man United isn't ready for the embarrassment Barcelona brings, because Barcelona has an upper hand. Observing a Europa League game so enthusiastically will be my first time ever. |

Asston Villa's historic win over Manchester United didn't feature Brazilian playmaker Philippe Coutinho. Unai Emery confirms he was unable to play against Manchester United due to injury. Having suffered a thigh injury in training, Philippe Coutinho has been ruled out of the Qatar World Cup. Instead of Coutinho's problems, the Brazilian team has a number of better players who can replace him.

Apparently Aston Villa players are not necessary to more adaptation for Unay Emery strategy because they can through yesterday match with 3 points and the result of Manchester United vs Aston Villa was beyond out of my expectation that Aston Villa has displayed fantastic performance even first half was belongs to them because Aston Villa has playing more effective than Manchester United
Besides that i noticed too Manchester United transition from attack to defense was still poor and it proven 3rd goal from Aston Villa that they cannot anticipate the counter attack from their opponent and another important thing why Manchester United failed to win because playing without Bruno Fernandes makes Manchester United players has lost their creativity to attack and it proven from their statistics yesterday that Manchester United still lacking for shots on goals
If we look at the arrival of Unai Emery to Aston Villa, it brings fresh air for Jacob Ramsey and colleagues. How not, the Spanish tactician was able to mix tactics, which made Aston Villa appear crazy, even against Manchester United. The result also gave Manchester United the first defeat in its last 5 matches. Aston Villa appeared full of confidence by taking advantage of Manchester United's weak defense to get 3 points in last night's game It has been a great return for Unai Emery. Emery made a successful return to the Premier League by defeating Manchester United 3-1. Aston Villa opened up a two-goal lead. There has been a real lift in this place under Unai Emery. It was a great performance by Jacob Ramsey. Still baffled by how Aston Villa managed to defeat Manchester United. Strikers at United need to put in more effort. Cristiano Ronaldo failed to live up to expectations in his first match as captain. |

By halftime, PSG is 1-0 up thanks to Neymar's 9th minute goal. He has set the Paris team ahead of their opponent Lorient with his early goal. Neymar is on a mission this season, and he is a fantastic player. For the season, Neymar has scored 15 goals so far. It would be nice if he continued to play this well in the Champions League Round of 16 matches and helped Paris win the Champions League title off course.
