Cro2 Team, I would like to indicate it very sincerely that you have created an amazing organization. I have been trying to join every pool on the forum for a long time. But this work of yours has been even more fun than pools. I hope we can see this kind of organizations continuing. While there are many people who can't join, it is sad to see this kind of incidents happening. But it is really low in number. I'm sure that the other rounds will be much more fun. I hope that I can manage to reach the next round.

After a really good start Tottenham have started to perform not very satisfyingly. Especially in big matches they had really serious problems. They lost nine points against Liverpool, Newcastle and Manchester United in their last five matches in the league. This is unacceptable for a team that have a really good squad quality now. They have a great manager like Conte at the same time. I think they will find a solution to this failures in big matches in the other half of the season.

Winning against smaller teams will not be enough for them to have a good season. They are comfortable at the fourth position for now maybe but they need to decrease the amount of point losses to minimum to prevent teams like Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea from catching up with them. I'm expectant about especially Liverpool to improve their performance.

According to the source below, Al Nassr has made an offer to Ronaldo recently. It is said to be a three-year deal contract and it is worth 186 million pounds.

This is another huge offer to sign him by another Saudi Arabia team. But it doesn't seem like money is the main thing Ronaldo wants from a team now. I assume he will reject this offer as well. Because he still wants to remain in Europe to compete in the Champions League. Maybe after a couple of years he would retire at a team in the MLS or maybe he would rethink of a move to a country like Saudi Arabia if he still gets an offer before his retirement.

Lakers have started to improve their stats recently. They won four of their last five games. Last night they played against Spurs and won by 143-138. This was another game in which Lebron showed a great performance - 39 points, 11 rebounds. It was a game Lebron tried to carry again and things weren't going very well for them mostly in such cases. But they managed to win this one.

Westbrook wasn't in the forefront much but I remember a time he had a problem with Collins. Collins made a foul and Westbrook's face was suddenly covered with blood. There was a high tension after that between these players. Apart from that I remember a time he made a nice alley-oop with Lebron. Maybe this might be a proof that they are getting along these days.

We watched another example of the fact that ball possession is not everything in football. Because Belgium controlled the ball most of the time but they still couldn't score the goal they needed. They found some important goal chances but Morocco goalkeeper was successful with his saves.

Morocco's first goal by a free-kick was really fascinating. It was a smart thinking by Saiss to try scoring directly from there instead of a cross. The goalkeeper was unprepared for that. Courtois didn't have much to do against the second goal as well. Ziyech was also impressive today and made an assist too. Now Belgium's job is really difficult as Croatia won against Canada as well.

The final series has finally started. The map picks were like this:



Heroic have made a great start by winning 16-11 on Overpass. Heroic's performance was a great example of consistency on both sides. However FaZe had more difficulty on T side which resulted in a loss for them. ropz made a huge effort again with 26 kills but this wasn't enough. Twistzz had a bad game with only 11 kills. He is normally one of the best fraggers of the team so I expect him to get better on Inferno. The remaining maps might seem to be in favour of FaZe but we never know. Maybe Heroic can manage to defeat FaZe this time.

I have checked Transfermarkt for further information about Neymar's current condition. It says that his return date is still unknown. Even though people are staying positive about his return soon I'm not that much sure for now. Missing the rest of the group matches will be bad for him of course. But hopefully he can catch up with the matches in the later stages.

As for the team they can find a solution to this actually. Because Brazil's most effective line is attacking obviously. There are so many talented wingers in the squad already. For example, Antony can fill his place as a player who can play on both wings.

I'm not sure if Manchester United would do the right thing by signing Depay back after many years. You must be remembering his Manchester United performances in the past. He was really ineffective as he had really low amount of goals and assists. Manchester United weren't happy with his effort at all and they decided to get rid of him.

But now we are talking about a serious possibility for them again. Depay's performance at Lyon and Barcelona might be misleading. I don't know if a player can do much better after returning to the team which he performed really poorly before. We have seen Chelsea trying it with Lukaku but it didn't end well for them.

I think it is very difficult for Manchester United to finish the season ahead of Liverpool. Because I don't see a more impressive game by them comparing to Liverpool. Yeah, Liverpool have had a really inconsistent run so far as well but they have a bigger potential than Manchester United anyway.

First of all, Liverpool are more productive than them in the league right now. Manchester United's main problem has been this for a long time period. They just waste too many goal opportunities and this causes them to suffer a big hardship indeed. I expect to see Klopp making a good progress in the rest of the season. Liverpool had this kind of times before and they know how to deal with it as well.

I really don't understand what is going on with Natus Vincere these days. They are eliminated in another tournament officially. I was believing in them against NIP. Because NIP were also a not very consistent team for a long time and I thought Natus Vincere would defeat them thanks to their quality. But they failed on the decider map by 16-10. s1mple wasn't ahead with his statistics this time. When he doesn't do an extra job the team struggle even more. es3tag and Brollan had the biggest role in NIP's win on this map by the way.

I'm thinking about if FaZe's end could also be like Natus Vincere's. Because they are not in a very different condition than them recently. Whichever team win this matchup they are going to be Heroic's opponent in the grand final. The grand final winner goes to the World Final but the loser is just taking the money.

France had another solid match this time against Denmark. Their first half performance was really impressive but there was no goal in it. Denmark were really bad in this half but they made up for that in the second half. However they still had big problems against especially Mbappe. He was really unstoppable today and he proved it by scoring two goals as well.

Rabiot's goal attempt by a volley was also fascinating but it didn't find the target I'm afraid. Denmark also had an absolute goal chance with Braithwaite while it was 2-1 but he wasted the chance. Denmark are worse than I expected in the World Cup.

I don't think that this is a season for any smaller team to win the Super League title. It is most likely that we will see one of the biggest teams of the league will make it. It looks like the champion will be one of the Fenerbahçe - Galatasaray - Beşiktaş trio this time. Trabzonspor are far away from their look in the previous season. Their effort has dropped down too much in one season but they must still be happy about that extraordinary season for them.

Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray have opened a really nice gap with Beşiktaş for now. But we still have so many matches left in the season. You know that the balances can change very much in this league in even only a few weeks.    For example, Şenol Güneş is a big hope for Beşiktaş fans now to get better. Maybe they might catch up with the Fenerbahçe - Galatasaray duo thanks to his strategies.

Since Lewandowski's arrival, Depay hasn't been a very necessary player for Barcelona. Him and Aubameyang were on the brink of being sold last summer. Interestingly they preferred to sell Aubameyang although he was showing a really good performance. Maybe Aubameyang didn't want to be a backup player while he was in a great shape.

However Depay's end will also be the same seemingly. As Lewandowski is showing a really good performance it is too difficult for Depay to have a chance in the starting eleven most of the time. It is the best for Barcelona to let him go for free. For now I don't see any candidate to sign him. Manchester United are said to be interested but it's only a rumour.

BLAST Premier has ended really early for G2. They have eliminated in the quarter finals after a 2-1 defeat against Heroic. G2 still have a long way to go to be able to reach a high level in this big tournaments. They still don't play like a top tier team I mean. The new transfers like HooXi and jks have been performing pretty well actually but they still lack in team performance.

Natus Vincere are playing against NIP currently. NIP won on Inferno and they are in the lead by 1-0 for now. Mirage is like the worst map for NIP now - %17 win rate. Natus Vincere should be able to make it 1-1 here. The decider map is Overpass and the map stats are nearly the same for these teams. But hopefully Natus Vincere will perform stronger as a team and win. s1mple will need to do an extra work as well.

It was a horrible match for Netherlands. They must be wishing to forget about this match immediately. Because they had literally 2 shots only in the whole match. They must consider themselves lucky about scoring one of these goal attempts at least. I must admit that Gakpo's goal was really impressive. He is already one of the very talented youngsters in European football.

Ecuador deserved to win this match to be honest. Valencia scored another goal and made the number of goals scored so far 3 already. Plata also had an amazing shot which hit the goal post.
