I don't know about 2024. But as far as 2022-23 is concerned, he remains as the best Portuguese player (you can disagree with me). I am not denying the fact that Portugal has a bunch of younger guys looking forward to replace Ronaldo in the squad, including João Félix, Rafael Leão and Bernardo Silva. But my take is that none of these players have the ability to single-handedly win the matches for their team. Ronaldo maybe out of form right now, but his class is permanent. I am sure that he will regain his form soon and make an impact during the Euro 2024.

Nije isto kad ti zarađuješ tipa €1.500 pa dobiješ priliku da radiš isti posao negdje drugo za €1.700 ili €1.800. To je dosta velika razlika za običnog smrtnika. Ali kad se vratim na onaj svoj primjer gdje ti već imaš €10 mil. godišnje, ćemu prelazak u drugi klub da bi imao €10.7 mil u jednom sportski neizazovnom okruženju?

Možda je neka nostalgija za prošlim vremenima kad si znao kad upališ utakmicu ko će istrčati na teren. Znao si da imaju igrači na koje se možeš osloniti da će biti tu dugoročno i nije im novac jedina vodilja.

Par primjera da navedem bez da imenujem igrače i klubove. Nisu orginalni citati pa nema potrebe za navodima. Možda će se neki i sjetiti koje šta rekao.

Otac mi je igrao za ___, ja sam cijelu karijeru proveo u ____ i moj sin će također. (Već igra).
Šta ćemo u ___ kad nam je ovdje dobro? Tu nam je lijepo, djeca su nam sretna i idu u školu, ljudi nas vole i porodica nam je blizu.
Jedini način da ja zaigram za vas je da vi kupite ___ i onda ću bit vas igrač. Nikako drugčije.
Gospodine, ___ je u problemima a ja sam njihov kapiten. Zar stvarno mislite da bi mogao sad da ih napustim?
Da napustim ___? ___ je moja porodica. Jel vi znate nekoga da je napustio svoju porodicu i otišao da živi sa nekim bogatim strancima?

Ma naravno da ne. Nisam ni mislio da bi igrači trebali ostajati u manjm klubovima i ligama. I naravno da je normalno da ćeš Dinamo gdje zarađuješ par stotina tisuća godišnje zamjeniti sa klubom iz jedne od 3-4 najjače lige gdje ćeš početi zarađivati nekoliko miliona.

Ali kad već dođeš na taj vrhunski nivo gdje imaš fantastičnu platu od recimo €9 miliona godišnje i klub ti ponudi produženje, tu onda počinje kockanje. Neću ja više €9 mil, hoću sad €12 mil. Pa klub kaže ne možemo toliko ali evo dat ćemo €10. Prije 20 godina se tu nije toliko cjenkalo i drago ti je bilo kad si u klubu okružen pobjednicima koji osvajaju trofeje. Ovi današnji igrači će prihvatiti i slabiji klub s kojim neće biti u prilici da osvajaju trofeje samo ako dobiju malo veću platu. Odlazim iz svog kluba gdje mi daju €10 mil. da bi igrao za €10.7 mil. negdje drugdje. I kod najmržeg rivala, šta me briga. Pa šta ti ta razlika znači? Šta to možeš za €10.7 mil godišnje sebi priuštiti što ne možeš sa €10 mil?  

Živimo u svijetu di je image i društvene mreže skoro dovoljan za uspijeh. Samo pogledajte onu budalu Salt Bae ili kako se već zove. Sad se naslikavao s Argentincima kada su digli pehar. Po kojoj logici jedan loši kuhar koji postao slavan samo zbog načina kako soli hranu može doći tamo s argenticima. Da ne pričam uopće o još većem problemu što takva osoba uopće postane poznata.

Musk je ipak napravio jako puno toga što god mi mislili o njemu. Čovjek dobije ideju i relizira ju, naravno da bogatstvo pomaže ali opet ima puno bogataša a malo ih je onih s utjecajem kao Musk.

In my opinion, Italy are not ready for the changes in the squad. If their squad is always identical with experienced players, then when they try to combine young players with experienced players, they will not find their best form. To be precise, we can say that Italy need time to return to their best form.

The penalty shootout is very tense and even the best player in the world do miss penalties both at top level. Leo Messi missed a penalty in the opening game against Saudi Arabia, it's not longer a shock to me see players missed the penalty, it's fact about the game that whenever a game results in a penalty shootout, there's every possibility that a mediocre player can outrun the high profile players. France did make a mistake, but those inexperienced players you talking about are the same players that brought France to the final. Didier Deschamps have one of the best squad despite losing his keyplayers due to injuries, these average players are very good on the pitch because they always give in all their best.

Comparison charts will not give you the bigger picture, Emiliano Martínez impact is evident when they played against Netherlands and he was able to hold on to his position during the penalty shootout and the same happened during the final against France. His saves impacted the match during crucial situations and hence he is adjudged the best goal keeper.

No gambler wants to bet in such a situation because there is a 99% chance of losing his money so no one wants to waste his money. And if someone wants to take Ricks then he never wants to bet a big amount there maybe they can leave a small amount there so they get a big return according his betting amount from it but not a very big money. I enjoyed that match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia and when Saudi Arabia offered 100x then I wanted to bet $10 there but I accidentally skipped it.

This World Cup was good for many gamnblers by the way considering group matches and overall results. Least likely things that happened: "Brazil was eliminated early", "Morocco finishing at top and beating Spain later", "Japan finishing at top", "Germany leaving at group stage" also "Belgium with same", "Uruguay getting eliminated in group stage was also surprise" So people should never underestimate weaker nations. They can beat more recognized nations, indeed.

Engleska 2. liga je po svojoj kvaliteti bolja od mnogih 1. liga u Evropi. A profesionalni nogomet se igra i u 3. i u 4. ligi. U tim nižim engleskim ligama još postoje neke vrijednosti koje su davno zaboravljene od ovih profesionalnih kurvi. Ah šta mi bi, htio sam reć fudbalera i super zvijezda. Privrženost svom klubu i želja da sa svojima pobjeđuješ i osvajaš je stvar prošlosti.

Rekao je Musk neki dan (prije ove ankete) da je već našao idealnu osobu za poziciju CEO-a Twittera.

Musk nekad stvarno djeluje kao budala ali definitivno to nije, ima on neki svoj plan. Bilo bi genijalno kad bi stavio Snowdena

By all accounts France's goalkeeper led the way but all statistics failed when Argentina goalkeeper Martinez saved Randal Kolo's powerful shot towards the post in the 120th minute.  It means that if this goal could have been scored then France would have won the match outright.  But Martinez skillfully parried the shot to lead to the game's trybreaker and eventually Argentina won the final thanks to Martinez's skill alone.

This was the only victory FIFA decided the Golden Globes deserved for Martinez.

There were also saves that marked the final match. We can say that his save in the 120th minute was perhaps the breaking moment of the match. He also made great saves in penalty shootouts. Livakovic brought Croatia to the semi-finals. Because penalty shootout determined 2 matches. These two goalkeepers came to the fore, but in order to play in the big team, the goalkeeper needs to act like a defender when his foot needs to be smooth as well as penalty saves. These goalkeepers cannot be great team goalkeepers for now.

It's not exactly a problem, there's 2 awards in this case:

Golden Boot to the player who score more goals
Golden Ball to the best player of tournament

The only possible way to measure the golden boot is goal

He will (as I said) won't be able to compete with 25 year olders who are running like hounds a pitch at the age 39. His body is gonna be very old at that point for that kind of very high level football. In Portuguese league he may be able to keep playing but at Euro finals? Nearly impossible. Best way to use Ronaldo would be giving him chance at the end of match like 10-15 minutes as opponent will be tired and he will be able to use his talents. Or just extra-times where every player will be tired anyways. Playing champions league and/or world cup level football is very hard.

This is my best world cup, Qatar performed well, the hosting was classic. I think everyone enjoyed Qatar. In the future they will host again. No one ever believe dthat just small country will displayd such quality. I'm very impressed.
All the players are back to Their various clubs , tomorrow premier league begins. We're back to club football.

I agree but also think that Martinez deserved it more than any other goalkeeper simply because of the number of penalty saved,it was about 4 of them,2 in Holland game and 2 in final game taking into consideration that he found the direction even in that penalty which got out.It is only natural for him to have gotten the golden glove because of this and because he had done more than Livakovic,we don't know how Livakovic would have behaved in a final,he surely was great against Brazil but that is only one match.

Most of Mbappe's goals came against weak teams. Two of his goals came against Poland, two against Danmark, and one against Australia. And in the final, although he scored one goal by himself the other two came from penalty kicks. And during the initial 80 minutes his performance was pathetic (although he made up for that in the next 15 minutes of regular play and 30 minutes of extra time). I thought that although he received the golden boot, there was nothing special in his performance this time. For comparison, I would rate Julián Álvarez ahead of him.

That could happen too but it all depends on Ronaldo and if the country wants him and he wants it then why not. Ronaldo can still be relied upon, although not as good as before, and he also still has the potential to strengthen Portugal and it seems that Ronaldo still has the desire to defend his country.
and group B is no less fierce because the Netherlands are in the same group as France and are still in the same group, there are the Republic of Ireland, Greece, Gibraltar. And I think the Netherlands and France will qualify for the next round.
