Portugal are starting the World Cup with a match against Ghana tomorrow.

As you must have heard, Manchester United have parted their ways with Ronaldo recently. Ronaldo was already pushing for leaving the team immediately so this must be absolutely good news for him. After solving this problem completely I expect Ronaldo to focus on his game even more with Portugal. This is his last World Cup so I expect to see his best performance. Bernardo Silva stated that he was going to fight for the World Cup title especially for Ronaldo. We will see how ambitious they will be tomorrow. We have seen some surprising results already and let's see if there will be any tomorrow as well.

I agree with your point of view.

Ricciardo is already 33 years old now. Of course this isn't a hindrance for any driver to be the world champion normally. However Ricciardo has started to seem like he doesn't have the same ambition for having solid races. We rarely see him fighting really hard in a race. It has been like this at McLaren at least. He was much more ambitious and successful than this at Renault before.

Of course even in this situation there is no guarantee that he wouldn't have the same issues with Verstappen again. Maybe we would be wrong and Ricciardo might start being more competitive again after having one of the fastest cars on the grid. The time will tell us about that.

There is no surprise so far in BLAST Premier Fall Final.

FaZe completely destroyed OG by big map scores. It was a really big effort by them which was promising and surprising at the same time. Because after seeing their terrible Major performance it was difficult to predict when they would pull themselves together. Heroic lost the first map against NIP but they made a strong comeback by getting comfortable wins on Ancient and Overpass. Upper Final in Group A now is FaZe - Heroic.

Natus Vincere had a really easy opponent like Fluxo and we didn't see any surprise on both maps. Right now Liquid are playing against G2 on the first map, Vertigo. They are close to winning it as it is 14-9 now. This is pretty interesting because it was G2's pick. When we check the win rates we can clearly see that there is a huge difference between them. This is like one of the worst maps for Liquid normally. Mirage and Inferno (decider) are the other maps and Liquid have better stats on both. So they might really be Natus Vincere's opponent in Upper Final in Group B.

Watching Germany so desperate against Japan was pretty unexpected for me. I just thought like Germany would destroy them by a big goal difference. But now we are talking about how they can lose by 2-1 here. The first was under full control of Germany. They should have been able to score at least two goals then. They just experienced the same thing Argentina did against Saudi Arabia.

Spain showed how it is done. They turned it into a show as well by finishing off Costa Rica by 7-0. Now Belgium are in the lead by 1-0 against Canada. However Canada's missing that penalty was a turning point for Belgium as well. I'm still not very confident about Belgium until they make it 2-0.

Yes sir. I've joined the league.

BLAST Premier Fall Final is about to start tomorrow.

4 teams are already decided to join BLAST Premier World Final. These teams are Outsiders, Natus Vincere, Vitality and FaZe. The winner of the current tournament is going to have the right to join the World Final directly. The remaining three teams are going to join considering BLAST ranking.

There are two groups in the Fall Final now. My favourite team in Group A is Heroic to be honest. I know that there is FaZe there as well. However their form has dropped a lot in the recent times. Especially their Major performance was horrible as they were eliminated in the group stage already, 0-3. I know that there are G2 and Liquid in Group B but I still want to believe in Natus Vincere to reach upper final and be the winner there. They just need to improve their team effort a little more.

I think that he might still stay in the English Premier League. I mean that Chelsea have had some interest in signing him for some time. There were rumours about a possible transfer even last summer. Chelsea aren't in a good condition right now. They are struggling to score goals easily in their league especially. They obviously need a striker to solve this problem. I assume their current form is related to the management also but they would really make use of a capable striker now. Because it doesn't seem like they will do good with Aubameyang and Broja there.

Ronaldo can play a big role at this point if he goes there. As Chelsea are in the Champions League too Ronaldo would be eager to sign for them.

It was a really interesting day for Argentina. This was normally like the easiest match in the group for them. However their performance was much worse than I expected. I mean they had big difficulties in defense especially. Both of Saudi Arabia's goals were impressive at the same time. By the way, I couldn't even count how many times Argentina players were caught offside.    Many goals were disallowed just because of that. Martinez's first offside was a really slight one as well.

Not being able to find the second goal brought Argentina's end in the second half. After those shocking goals they tried to make a comeback but it didn't help. Saudi Arabia's goalkeeper was really amazing today by important saves.

By the way I must admit that it wasn't one of the most enjoyable races of the season. I hoped to watch another unforgettable race in Abu Dhabi after the one in the previous season. But we couldn't watch a big rivalry between Leclerc and Perez unfortunately. I was hoping to see Leclerc finishing there of course because of my pool picks. However this race still could have been more exciting if they fought against each other. Perez got really close while getting close to the end but there wasn't enough time left to make an attempt.

I hoped to see Hamilton on podium but he had unfortunate issues with the car. He must be disappointed to finish the season by a race like this.

You are right about your point as well.

It isn't easy for Chelsea to make a signature transfer in January which is like the middle season. Not many teams would be eager to sell their valuable players in a time like this. Like you mentioned, there is only Ronaldo who comes to minds as available then. He is already looking forward to leaving Manchester United as soon as possible. If Chelsea make a proper contract offer to him then it wouldn't be hard to convince him for them. Manchester United are already prepared to let him go now.

If Ecuador can defeat Qatar this easy then I can't even imagine what Netherlands can do to them. But it is totally normal because I don't see even a single player among Qatar players who is well-known and playing for a decent team. Qatar supporters should just enjoy the World Cup atmosphere in their own country.

Tomorrow, my favourite team England are going to play against Iran. I think this is a nice opportunity for them to put on a good show and make a solid start. I just hope to see Southgate using the squad as effective as possible starting with this match. Normally England shouldn't have any problem on defeating all of the teams in their group.

İyi dilekleriniz için gerçekten çok teşekkür ederim. Forumda böyle bir etkinlik aynı zamanda rekabet aynı zamanda yardım kuruluşlarına yardım etmek istiyorsak benim aklımdaki fikir de şu katılımcılar giriş için bir ücret öder ücretin yarısı yardım kuruluşlarına ayrılır yarısı da katılımcılardan başarılı olanlara dağıtılır.Bunun için bölümümüzde escrow olacak değerli üyeler var ancak böyle bir organizasyona katılım talep ne kadar olur onu bilmiyorum.

We planned to start this pool four days before the season started. As a result we had low amount of participants comparing to the other pools. However we have had a quite competitive pool. I'd like to thank all the people who have participated in the pool very much. Besides I'd like to thank Sportsbet.io very much for sponsoring the pool and supporting us. And I'd like to thank jeremypwr very much also for helping the yellow cap prizes to reach their owners. I hope you have enjoyed the pool and we can create a much bigger community next year.



Besides congrats to vd309 and swogerino for earning prizes by finishing the pool in top 3. After Vd309 sends his address I will do my best to make your payments as soon as possible.



Congrats to LTU_btc for taking the last yellow cap of the season.

Eternal Fire don't have any roadmap and this is costing them very much. They need to take stronger steps on this road to be successful. The team have a big potential actually but they just don't know how to benefit from it. All of these players are unique and have really great aims. They have XANTARES before anything else. He is like one of the best players in the world now.

The point they lack is the strategies. They play by heart instead of preparing some solid strategies for each one of their opponents. This causes them to have big problems in many matches. XANTARES talked about his days at BIG in the past and mentioned how many tactics BIG had. You just need to be prepared for many kind of teams to reach big successes.
