Messi is one of the all time greats and I am sure many people would love to see Argentina win it but I still think France will take the worldcup home again. They have such a good team and made the best overall impression this worldcup.
France is favourite and Argentina wants this World Cup so much after not getting it for a long period. Both teams will play furiously but Messi might be the most challenging since he wants this trophy so much. It is the best reward that every player would get before leaving his national team. |

Manchester city investment predicted going stuck as they are looking for a shortest ROI , buying and selling players went successfully profitable for them at the monent they might continue it but no more spending huge money on a single player , they have spent billion in players under guardiola himself.
A champions league win could end the syeikh mansour era in city crazy transfer window as they have acquired the main goal.
Indeed, if City win Champions League, some changes in the club might occur. For the moment, City will take a good reward from FIFA for the participation of their 16 players in World Cup. They are planning to enlarge their stadium to get over 60k spectators and adding some commodities there. Otherwise, I read that Haaland father's said that his son might leave City in a year or two since he might want to play in several clubs / leagues! |

A lot of new signing is on the way after the world cup and the transfer window open up, I am hoping that some of the young players who have showcased their talent during the World cup will finally get signed to reputable clubs where they can continue to build their career. La liga next season will witness new vibes from those players that are produced from the current formations
Some of the La Liga clubs are waiting for the fair-play announcement to see how much they could spend. Barcelona is very limited and cannot spend much after their expensive summer. They are planning to add another sponsor which is this time WhiteBIT, maybe more are planned too. |

Liverpool have just made things much more difficult for themselves by starting the season very badly. Even Newcastle have a bigger probability for the league title now. Liverpool's target is not to win the league title anyway from now on. They just want to recover as soon as possible and have a decent performance in the rest of the season.
They are full of skilled and talented players now. Mane's absence was bad at first but Diaz's coming here has changed many things for the team. If it weren't for Diaz's high effort maybe their placement in the standings would have been even worse. He has been injured for a long time but he is expected to return by the end of the year.
Diaz will not return before Mars 2023 which is a bad news for Liverpool since he was operated in the knee.. Nevertheless, it is unclear if a player could get back his full performance after a knee surgery. Most players fail to  |

The revenge mission will be carried out by Argentina, because what we know is that they lost in the round of 16 in 2018 to France, at that time France won over Argentina with a score of 4-3, and will meet again in this year's World Cup Final, of course not included. Does it make sense, that these two countries will meet again in the Final Match, it is certainly difficult to predict bets, it is likely that France will win the World Cup again this year, hopefully this will happen because the French players are more everything than the Argentine players.
Of course, Argentina has a chance to win the final, let's not forget that the World Cup in Qatar was missed by such stars as Benzema, Pogba, Kante due to injuries, and with them the French national team would be an absolute favorite, but even now it looks harmonious and is a real contender for victory and Argentina will not have it easy. Indeed France could have been more powerful without injuries. I believe it is one of the most teams that suffered injuries with key players being unlucky to not participate. Still, France is favourite in my opinion. They have to be disciplined and cut the ball from Messi in their quarter of the field. |

Departure of Victor Oshime will not happen as he is a major part of the squad hunting down the title. Selling Victor would bring drop in form in that attack as he also helps in defending and supporting his player's with assistance. Napoli will consider his sale as good business as he was brought in for nothing higher than thirty million but most clubs want him around hundred million. They have hope of winning the tittle if it works he will be sold next season with Chelsea eyeing the lad already. I believe Napoli will sell Osimhen in the next summer transfer window since they are eying the scudetto this season. The only thing that will let them sacrifice him is a very good price to grab this winter, +$80-100m. Obviously such price will be afforded by EPL teams namely Chelsea or ManU. City and Liverpool doesn't seem interested AFAIK. |

There is a vote on top and only two answered for the moment.
I voted France since they are more powerful in case they will be able to limit the movement of Messi. If they fail to limit him then Argentina will win tho.
Deschamps is accommodating the team regarding their opponents tactics and weakness.
Otherwise, I think a poll with the winners of the last games poll would be interesting too:
- France - Morocco
- France - Croatia
- Argentina - Morocco
- Argentina - Croatia

Inter just have such a potential in this season but they can't reflect this on the standings. Otherwise they are the second most effective attacking team in the league right now. The number of goals they have scored is nearly the same with Napoli. But they haven't been doing good in defense I'm afraid. They have conceded so many goals which dragged them down.
However there is still a long season ahead. Even if they don't catch up with Napoli they can still finish the season at the second position actually. They just need to improve their defending and this will help very much.
Inter the previous seasons were more powerful. This season they were doing good but not enough. They lost many top players throughout the years which made them more vulnerable... I don't see them first in the actual version of scudetto where they have rivals like Napoli |

I would continue to support Morocco despite their terrible first- and second-half performances and the incorrect defensive formation that contributed to their loss since they did Africa proud. Who would have thought that an African nation would get to the World Cup semifinals? Who knows, perhaps another African team will advance to this round of the world cup.
Morocco has a chance to bring home the bronze for all of us Africans. They shouldn't act the way they did when they faced France. Let them play Croatia in an attacking and defending style.
The French team made some tactical changes that perplexed Morocco play style and made France even harder to challenge. It is unfortunate to see Morocco leaving the race after all the efforts made before the final game, nevertheless, they should play good against Croatia to bring something precious for their country and for African. |

Dinamo Zagreb make a big profit if they sell Livakovic to Bayern, despite conceding 3 goals in the semifinal against Argentina but everyone saw that Livakovic is an extraordinary goalkeeper, and when discussing transfer speculation, of course, Bayern will try hard to get Livakovic signature, even Oliver Khan has been monitoring Livakovic's appearance himself.
Conceding goals due to defence mistakes doesn't count, especially the second goal was a joke, the guy literally run 2/3 of the field, passed 3 defenders and scored.. As I said earlier, Navas received 7 goals.. So judging goalkeepers is more about specific points than just receiving difficult to save goals. I'm actually quite funny watching MU's behavior, every time there is an issue of players being sold, they always appear LOL. Denzel is a good defender to replace Maguire, but will they be able to compete with Chelsea? besides that Inter fans don't allow Inter to sell Denzel. I see Denzel's sales drama is quite interesting LOL.
ManU is always trying to consolidate their team (and they fail)! For Dumfries, he played good and if ever he will be sold, they will ask for a good price in addition to finding a suitable replacement for him |

and now we will all have to wait and see who will take the other ticket in France vs Morocco.
can't wait for this match to see France slaughter Morocco for more than 1 goal like Argentina did against Croatia earlier, I think many people make predictions for the final later Argentina vs France because France is seeded in the semifinal match later even though there could be a surprise Argentina vs Morocco in the final also not bad, looks like it will, but i hope morocco loses against france because i bet on france I believe Morocco will take a lesson from what happened to Croatia today. So basically Argentina let Croatia play in the first 15-20 minutes then it surprised it with a goal then came the second one to destroy Croatia hope, then the third one to end the Croatian dream prematurely. Morocco will play more defensively and count on counter attack. The problem they have is the presence of Mbappe. They should find a way to stop him and France power will be reduced considerably. Overall, I am counting on France - Argentina final unless Morocco could lead France to play penalties. |

EDIT: And it is 2-0 now thanks to Alvarez's goal. I think it is GG now.  Well Croatia didn't totally gave up although it seems hard for them to get a draw.. There was a good attempt at the end of the first half time started with Modric shot but wasn't successful. Well Croatia players needs to focus more on their attack strategy and stop doing bad move in the defence seriously. The second goal was a joke.. |

Argentina 2 - 0 Croatia.
Croatia played the first 15 minutes good then all changed. Messi scored a goal from penalty then Alvarez run almost 60% of the field alone to score the second goal. Now it is almost an own goal by Croatia.
It doesn't seem good for Croatia at all this match..

I have seen some news like Juventus are planning to make an offer for Mason Mount. They are said to be ready to part ways with a couple of players just to sign him as well. Chelsea still haven't extended his contract. Mount is actually waiting for a reasonable contract to extend with them. Because he doesn't seem uncomfortable there at all.
But Chelsea don't seem to be rushing anything yet. I have heard about a contract offer by them before but Mount rejected it. They should review their offer and prepare a better one this time. Mount is still an important player for this team to be more productive.
Chelsea doesn't seem willing to maintain their players. I am not sure if they changed this behaviour but for example Ziyech is a good player that wasn't been used properly and are willing to sell him. Mount is a good player and better to keep him. The instability of the team and changing coaches with different points of view, made Chelsea losing its leading position.. |

I already suggested adding Morocco goalkeeper Bounou to the poll since he is the national hero of the Moroccan team. His move to give the reward to the last match to En-Nesyri was a nice one. BTW can we add Belgium in red to the map, like that once France is conquered it will be a reddish map from moron to Belgium  Obviously the game vs France will not be easy and hopefully Morocco will win it. And of course, everyone who does know Bounou will know his team is one of the biggest bedshitters in La Liga (and that's after luring everyone into thinking they were title contenders last season). And so far this season his team is in the relegation zone, so man, he cannot possibly be considered for the prize outside international football. Strange he wasn't in the poll, he won golden gloves in Spain 2 seasons ago... I don't disagree he's a great performer in this tournament, but let us remember they have only played 5 games in this world cup. A league's 38 seasonal games, plus Europe and cup ties is a better estimate of prowess (though it should be added he has 1 goal and 2 assists in the last couple of seasons). When I remember poor Navas getting 7 goals against Spain, I said how unfortunate he was when he has a bad teammates like those. When the defensive strategy is a failure, the goalkeeper cannot help that much. I mean he can save a goal or two in every match, save more goals in some games but he will not be able to stop everything the defenders let go through them. |

Agreed, Morocco will try to give the best. Because we don't know whether it'll get an opportunity similar to this in the upcoming World Cup. Moreover I find the win of Morocco against different teams were also a tactics. Most of the players aren't playing for any clubs, so there games weren't known to the opponent. About the popular players, the opponents were well aware of their ability and tricks. Let's see how Morocco is doing in its do or die situation.
We are very excited for the final 3 matches. But believe it or not I can't get over with Neymar and Ronaldo They were so upset on losing the match that the world cried with them. Such are the legends. They rule the hearts and minds of the people forever Because their teams are good enough to lift the title, yet they lost vs the underdog teams which was shocking for them, their fans and citizens! Additional reason for CR7 is the fact that this is his last chance to play World Cup and lift the Cup. It ended as a catastrophic end for him and his team. Less than 24 hours for the match between Argentina and Croatia. I wonder if Croatia will add another surprise in this World Cup. |

Real Madrid and Barcelona are currently between a rock and a hard place. Both teams are facing champion league and Europa league pressure respectively. For that, I think la Liga will be quite unpredictable seeing that Real Sociedad despite being in the Europa League is also pushing so hard this season to have a place at the top of the la Liga list after experiencing their last la Liga title and several runner-ups since 1981, I can't underrate their ability this year.
I think they are aware of what they have to do because that is the basic thing. Moreover, they are a big club who really have to know that the bigger they are, they also have to be able to continue to compete wherever it is because this is like the real provisions. This is also what made them known and labeled as a big club, right? Indeed. The problem of having a tight schedule is only available once there is many injuries and less players to rotate. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona have enough players to participate in different games except for one or two positions where it might be hard to find a good substitute, like Benzema case. Otherwise, the title will remain between these two clubs in La Liga. |

There are many mistakes in Portugal's game, that's why their game is not very good. It could have been if there was no way to win but they had to lose this match due to their own fault anyways they have to accept that they have no choice but to.
Portugal played with a mentality that had lost when Morocco had won 1 goal in the first half. Besides that, Morocco has several extraordinary and lucky players, so I see Portugal's defeat as a natural thing morocco has the best goalkeeper in the world cup this time, which is still without conceding, against france, i wonder how far morocco will be able to survive, or maybe they will make new history by becoming the first african team to enter the final Morocco conceded only 1 goal during the actual version of World Cup which is impressive. They have one of the best goalkeepers, their defence is solid and their attack line is quite effective and every attempt requires a good goalkeeper to stop it. Portugal players were psychologically destroyed and not concentrated after the goal but they tried to score at least. |

The most profitable thing about Barca at the moment is that Madrid is still dependent on Benzema. from the several matches that took place, when benzema didn't play we saw madrid get bad results. This season's transfer market will definitely be enlivened by the hunt from Madrid to find a potential replacement for Benzema. The competition between Barca and Madrid this season is really tight.
Many names popped up in the World Cup and the winter transfer window is getting closer so I assume Real Madrid will try to sign a remplacement for Benzema even though he isn't injured anymore. |

unfortunately i can't participate in the voting because my favorite (the moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou) is not listed. but i don't blame the creator of the pool because who would have thought that this goalkeeper plays such a tournament and shows one brilliant save after the other in every game and brings the opposing strikers to despair ... not to mention the held penalties  and as you can see below, morocco continues to move north and will hopefully conquer france as well https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fjoam6CX0AgA4_u?format=jpg&name=smallAs it stands now the Morroco goalie is set to win the golden gloves and he is also the best African player in the tournament. He should arguably be the best goalie in the Spanish league. I will advice the creator of the thread to edit the pool and include him. I will not also participate in the poll if he is not included. I already suggested adding Morocco goalkeeper Bounou to the poll since he is the national hero of the Moroccan team. His move to give the reward to the last match to En-Nesyri was a nice one. BTW can we add Belgium in red to the map, like that once France is conquered it will be a reddish map from moron to Belgium Obviously the game vs France will not be easy and hopefully Morocco will win it. |
