What happened back in 2018 world cup with the Croatian national team was a once in a blue moon event. We can't expect them to repeat that performance every time. No one actually expected Croatia to qualify for the quarter-finals back then, and they managed to reach the finals. This time it is going to be some other less fancied team. Chances are that it can be one among these teams - Qatar, Serbia, Ecuador, Wales, Poland and Denmark. Won't be surprised if Croatia repeats their 2018 performance as well.

Stan is playing fantastic apart from the slip up when serving in the second set for
the match and getting broken and losing that set, he got the job done in the third eventually.
He plays Batista Agut later today, I have gone for another win for Stan.

I actually saw part of Stan's win, this is his home tournament and he has never won it,
purely because Roger always wine it, he has 10 wins here I think.

Stan plays Brandon Nakashima tomorrow and is not favourite. 1.79 to 2.0, I have gone
with a straight win for Stan.

I also have another bet on Felix AA to go further and beat  Kecmanovic tomorrow

Barcelona has not let it down in this match. It is also not entirely fair to give an accurate analysis of this match, as Inter Milan had already won 4-0 beforehand and so Barcelona already knew that they were eliminated from the Champions League. Then I can imagine that the necessary motivation problems have started to arise. Maybe it is good for Barcelona to play in the Europa League, they can certainly win that tournament, but they are not the top favourite. I would like to see Barcelona - Arsenal.

Schalke are still struggling to get out of the relegation zone, they have only obtained 6 points from 11 matches. Schalke must save himself from the threat of relegation, a win can help improve his position in the standings, this time Schalke will have to fight hard because Freiburg are a difficult opponent to beat.

PSV who is in second place has 7 points instead of 5 points. Meanwhile, Arsenal are clearly 12 points clear at the top of Group A as Arsenal have not lost in the four matches played for the Europa League this season. And soon PSV Eindhoven will play Arsenal at their own home in the hope of winning so that their position can be a little safer in second place, because Bodo/Glimt who are in third place with a total of 4 points will also play soon against a team that does not yet have points in group A, namely FC Zurich.

Juventus chance qualifying to next round quite heavy behind 5 points left from PSG and Benfica, actually if win from Benfica and PSG still not guarantee qualifying to next round depending with Benfica vs Maccabi Haifa and PSG vs Maccabi Haifa matches. Juventus can get 9 points maximum if want 2 match later but Benfica can get 11 points although loss from Juventus but can win from Maccabi Haifa in the last match. Juventus really need help from Maccabi Haifa to win at one of two match left between PSG or Benfica.

I will justify your assumptions about Messi, I mean Messi has really had a different role at PSG over the years. Most recently, Messi contributed to Mbappe's 2 goals with his assists and Messi also scored in that match. So far Messi has been the owner of the most assists in Ligue 1 with 9 assists, which is 2 numbers higher than Neymar who has 7 assists.

So it's true that PSG's strategy is actually around Mbappe, it's very visible from their game. Messi even started to feel comfortable with this strategy even though he was still very savage about goals, but in the end he had to do it for the sake of the team and his coach's strategy. Last season did not look good for him in terms of goal statistics, but Messi managed to register 14 assists in 26 appearances in Ligue 1. For this season, Messi's goal record has equaled last season's record in Ligue 1 "6 goals", but this he did in 11 match.

Messi has always had a privilege, he can always score goals from various positions. I think it doesn't matter to him, because he's a creator and the finish shoot towards the goal is equally good. This is the busiest he can still score six goals in twelve match this season.

Finally my guess is correct. Two umpires declared the match abandoned due to rain. And shared the points equally between the two teams. But I think Zimbabwe benefits from this decision. Due to rain, the match was played in 9 overs. Zimbabwe team score 79 runs for 5 wickets in 9 overs. South Africa went into bat with a target of 80 runs and managed to score 51 runs in 3 overs without losing a wicket. But unfortunately due to bad weather it started raining again and the match was abandoned. The continuity of the game shows that today's match would have been won by South Africa

In your dream
IMO Juventus doesn't have any chance to be qualified for the next round since they have poor result in this season, Juventus need to beat PSG and Benfica, at the same time Juventus need to pray if PSG and Benfica lost against Maccabi Haifa which is impossible. It's really a miracle if it's really happen, just like Real Madrid make an epic comeback at the last minutes.

I don't see anything happening with Messi's performance, but if Messi is allowed to play like he did then he will play great like he did in Barcelona. But Messi is not getting that opportunity in PSG. But I don't see the previous performance of Ramos as he performed for Real Madrid. But maybe Ramos is trying to do better.

Well I was watching the fight with 3 friends and we all agreed that Sean won that fight because his strikes were on point every time when Petr had only ground control and a few important strikes. Ground control won't win you the fight anymore if  you don't finish the job or put massive pressure on the opponents and Sean was able to survive every time he was on the ground without taking massive hits. It was tight, I won't say that , but Sean had that 0.5% extra percent that won him the fight. Anyway , Yan really did a good job but not well enough.

It's worth noting that Ingram scored 28 points, and Valanciunas had a double-double with 30 points and 17 rebounds against the Hornets. So the great start of the season for the Pelicans isn't all because of Zion. This team really has a lot of potentials, and I also hope that Zion and other key players can avoid serious injuries. Honestly, it seems to me that if the Pelicans stay healthy, they will even be able to reach the Western Conference Finals.

what I know is corruption (budget misuse) into two, the first is to meet the needs of the personal stomach and the second group is for other developments, I mean by other developments, for example, which was for the construction of public facilities such as road access and then used for the construction of educational institutions or MSMEs whose goal is for the progress of the community in their area, even though number two cannot be justified by law, it is at least much better than the first one I mentioned.
after I see and examine the people who reply to this topic, it turns out that there are certain steps to deal with this. Then I formulated it to deal with the corruption that hampers the economy in a country.
The first is to socialize to the whole community that corruption or misuse of the state budget hinders the state's goal of prospering its people. 2 establish an independent and transparent press institution, 3 make punishments for perpetrators of corruption that are firm and deterrent, 4 create an independent corruption eradication commission with legal protection, 5 government accountability reports every period must be transparent to the public so that the public can assess and supervise.

Yes, I don't think this will be easy in terms of technical implementation and it will take a lot of time, but if it is implemented properly and correctly, what we hope is that it will probably happen.

Customer service and a good Advertisement

I believe these to be the main elements to a successful business.
It's important for businesses to maintain a high level of customer relationships as these tells a lot as to how you value them and not just being out there to make money off them. No one likes to be milked like you do cattles and having your customer at heart ensures there safety and your patronage.

Advertisement helps to elaborate to your customers on what they already know as well as what they don't. It not only pushes the product to distant corners but it does help in business growth.

The interest rates were kept too low for too long. So many companies over leveraged themselves with the cheap money and now the money is getting more expensive, naturally they will suffer from it. It is the FED’s fault keeping the rates too low for nearly a decade and now is the payback time. It is not going to be pretty for many people because most of them will lose their jobs and life savings.

Union berlin seems very consistent at this moment compared with another team. Even bayern munich can't become consistent like union. that's a bit surprising to see that if union berlin was doing well by become a very consistent to win in any match. It can even win against dortmund easily without doubt. I think that if union will become the most potential competitor for bayern to get the trophy for this season. The match between both will be a very interesting to be watched by us

They dominated the game.  There were many attacking positions and only one was scored.  The important thing was to get the 3 points and they did.  Thus, Arsenal guaranteed to advance to the next round in the European league.  Arsenal is the closest team to be champion in both the Premier League and the European league this year, in my opinion.  PSV has a strong squad but was very ineffective in the match.

Well, i for one also think that Ronaldo has been constantly disrespected by Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag, but the team is always bigger than a single player, and despite the fact that Ronaldo is one of the greatest player's of all time, he still has to respect the club in all ways possible. Shortly after his suspension from the team, Ronaldo has issued an official statement/apology to the club, and from his words i think he is really sorry for his actions and the club should forgive him and the two parties should work together and show each other more respect going forward, at least before he maybe leaves in January.
