Missed penalty from Saudi Arabia decided the match already in the first half. That was when their momentum went down and i was hoping for 1-1 and they just lost 2-0. They were better but just couldnt score some big chances missed and Poland and Lewandowski punished that and now this group is intresting. In the end Poland really answered people's doubts in this match with a 2-0 win. Saudi Arabia had to lose and drop points in the second game, and this allows Argentina to take advantage if they win against Mexico. Saudi Arabia did dominate this match with a number of shots and attacks, but unfortunately they were unable to prove that by scoring goals. I really hope that Argentina can take advantage of this defeat by Saudi Arabia to win the game, so 3 points will be very important today. I don't expect Argentina to underestimate Mexico, so this has to be the final for Argentina. For sure Argentina will try hard to get 3 points. they have to work hard today because this is the match that will determine the chances for Argentina to advance to the next round because if they win with a big score then their ranking will go up to 2nd place. but a big score is not a level that must be pursued by lionel messi et al because their main target is to win even with a thin score. Besides that, Poland has pocketed a great opportunity to advance to the next round after they were able to beat Saudi Arabia. Lewandowksi performed quite well against Saudi Arabia, he was able to contribute 1 goal to win Poland. |

Memphis Depay has arrived to Barcelona when Koeman era at that time Koeman has impress to his performance and decide to get him with free transfer status so basically Depay isn't the player who buyed by Xavi and when first time Xavi train Barcelona on 2021 indeed Depay is Xavi main player for forward option this because Barcelona had lack of forward players who can scoring goals but this season everything was changed especially after the arrival of Lewandowski that Xavi has decide to trust Lewandowski than Depay so basically Memphis Depay is the victim of changed manager and obviously he will be for sale this winter
Depay contract at barcelona will expire in the summer window of 2023 so barcelona can take advantage of this winter window opportunity to release Depay instead of keeping him for the second half of the season. I saw some news about Depay status at Barcelona, which in fact will be released in January with a lower price clause, considering that Barcelona brought in Depay with free transfers in the previous season. The player will also be more interested in moving to another team considering that he has been marginalized at Barcelona after Xavi chose Lewandowski for the front line. Depay quality as an attacker is very good, it's just that he lacks playing hours which makes it difficult for Depay to find his best form this season. |

Barcelona are actually playing really impressively in general. But somehow they just fail hard in big matches. Maybe it was due to some missing players in the defense line also but it can't be the main reason. Because they were obviously having struggles about scoring goals also. They lost many points because of this in the Champions League especially and it caused them to continue in the Europa League. Normally they should have finished ahead of Inter in the worst case.
This must be mostly related to Xavi's player choices and strategies in that kind of matches. Because we witnessed some bad choices there and it affected their performance deeply. Xavi still didn't give up on doing the same thing in literally every big match. I hope that he has learned his lesson from now on. Because the Europa League will also be important for them.
We have to admit that Xavi brought a lot of changes to the Barcelona team. After he joined the team as a coach, the image of the team changed. The team regains their strength. Xavi added some new players to the team, making the team much stronger and so on. Then Barcelona failed in the Champions League. But Xavi's main goal now is to secure the LaLiga title. After being eliminated from the Champions League, Xavi next target is to be able to bring Barcelona to win the Europa League and Laliga, but Xavi task is more difficult in both competitions because in Laliga, Real Madrid is very strong this season and the point difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona is very close. Therefore, Xavi must be able to put a lot of pressure on his players to remain fully consistent in every match in order to widen the gap with Real Madrid when Laliga returns. in the europa league barcelona have to compete with several strong candidates like arsenal and several other teams and that will be a tough task for xavi. indeed Xavi performance was very good at Barcelona because he was able to make significant changes in his coaching this season. |

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.
The rumors circulating are true that Manchester United is reportedly ready to bring in Depay to fill the gap left by Ronaldo. but that's not necessarily certain because Manchester United need players who can really make a bigger contribution to achieving their target, which is to finish in 4th place. depay is indeed very difficult to compete at barcelona because lewandowksi shines brighter than him this season so that the front line barcelona always belongs to lewandowski. besides that depay also hasn't found his good form in the world cup because he has always been the second choice for louis van Gaal. Now, in a situation like this, it's possible that Depay will leave in the January window, but for his new team, only Manchester United are rumored to be bringing him in. |

Full Time Netherlands 1-1 Ecuador. They were Shared the point that match.Netherlands leaded 1st half and the scored Level up in 2nd half and finally last time that match ended in draw.But both team played very good football this match aslo.It was tight game.But my prediction was Netherlands will be win in this match.If Equator will not miss the easy opportunity then Ecuador will be win and get full point. In my opinion, the result of the Netherlands vs Ecuador match is fair. The Dutch are good defensively and in midfield, but they are not sharp at attacker. Ecuador could even have won had their goal in the first half not been disallowed by the referee, but unfortunately it was an invalid goal. I expect the Netherlands to qualify for the last 16, as well as Senegal who won today against Qatar. I'm not looking down on Ecuador, but maybe they won't win against Senegal in the decider later. However, Ecuador looked better in this match than their first match against Qatar. I'm sure the Netherlands can advance to the next round because the next opponent is Qatar, which on Dutch paper can easily beat Qatar. but seeing the potential in group A there is still fierce competition from the top 3 teams to advance to the next round. but the chance is 50% already in the hands of the Netherlands and 50% for Senegal and Ecuador. Qatar will automatically be eliminated from the world cup this time because it has lost 2 times. in Group B, seeing the points from the 4 countries there is still a big chance for the 4 teams to qualify for the next round but for Wales they have to be able to beat England in their last match and even then it will be impossible because goal productivity will be counted if Wales can collect 3+1 point. On the other hand, Wales odds will determine Iran result against the United States. But for that England and Iran have a bigger chance to qualify for the round of 16. |

For the people who think that Newcastle can join the race to sign Ronaldo, I would like to share this news: https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-newcastle-united-snub-cristiano-ronaldo-after-16m-late-night-development/On this source, it is said that Newcastle have no interest in bringing Ronaldo to the team in January. I was surprised to hear about this when I first read it truthfully. Because Newcastle don't have any budget issues as you know. They can buy whatever player they want theoretically. Maybe they didn't want this because of having many strikers in the squad already. They must be happy with Wilson's scoring performance as well. But we are still talking about a legend like Ronaldo. I think it would be better for them to have him in the squad and sell the worst striker in the team currently. Apart from that we don't know how much Ronaldo would be eager to go there as well. I guess that he wouldn't be eager so much because of Newcastle's not being part of the Champions League. As of today we are yet to get concrete news on Ronaldo's next destination. I think Ronaldo is fully focused and committed to national duties and would love to concentrate on how to win games for his team in the world cup. Newcastle isn't a bad team after all but it will only come down to Ronaldo's choice of destination which we will have to wait until the end of the world cup or Portugal's eviction to find out. Ronaldo hasn't thought about which team will be his next team to defend because he is still focusing all his mind and energy on Portugal in this world cup. In fact, in the past few days, several EPL teams have been very close to Cristiano Ronaldo, such as Chelsea and Newcastle United, and even teams from Serie A, such as Napoli. but Ronaldo has not addressed the issue because he completely forgot about the situation after he was dumped by Manchester United. I think Ronaldo will find it easy to get a new team after the world cup is over because he is a star player who is currently arguably the one who has stolen the most attention in the world. |

the score was 2-0 to brazil. Richarlison appeared impressive in this match by successfully contributing a goal to Brazil current advantage. In the first half, Serbia was able to make their defense quite difficult for Brazil to penetrate, but there were several good opportunities that Brazil got, but in the first half, Brazil failed to make their chances into goals. in the second half the game Brazil became more aggressive they continued to press Serbia and in the 62nd minute Richarlison was able to score the first goal for Brazil and doubled the advantage in the 73rd minute. Now the game is getting more exciting where Serbia continues to build attacks but their front line is really not good in this match. There is still time for Serbia to reduce the gap and I think they should really take advantage of the remaining time in the second half.
Brazil has made some great attempts on for the goal - they have managed to do 2 goals till 89 min. But SRB is still struggling for one goal - today is not SRB day - they have approx lost the match Brazil performed perfectly as the main squad and the second-tier squad was just as solid. Richarlison became a Brazilian star. I think this goal will be included in the nomination for the best goal in the world pila. Brazil's game seemed free in this second half, and well these 2 goals are certainly not surprising with the capacity of the most featured players. There is still extra time for the third goal for Brazil to perfect the score in this match. No goals in response from Serbia, Brazil started their first game with a win and that was good enough to look at the next match. statistically Brazil is able to dominate possession and is also able to make more shots than Serbia. Brazil in the Qatar World Cup became the strongest country team to win the Trophy because their squad was really filled with world star players. For now, Brazil leads Group G, followed by Switzerland, which collects 3 points. this is a pretty interesting match apart from the other matches that took place today. On the other hand, Portugal also started their first match by winning and Ronaldo was one of the players who performed quite well for Portugal in that match. tomorrow we will see wales against iran. |

54 minutes of running time there is still no goal presented in Brazil's match against Serbia at this time.
Brazil, with its dominance, is still having quite a hard time facing Serbia, which is indeed with a high defense in this match. There were some good opportunities but the Serbian players are still quite disciplined but if they are pressed like this it is not impossible that Brazil will be able to score goals later.

All that matters for Barcelona is to win the league at the end of the season. Real Madrid in every way looks better even on the pitch but the mentality of those player's matters alot especially with how they return back from the world Cup. Barcelona has to show results else the job of Xavi won't make sense. Over Lewandoski and his appeal, he should serve the three match ban if it is found that the act portrayed by Lewandoski was disrespectful. The appeal against the three match ban should be ignored.
That's for sure, Xavi is targeting the league trophy this season, even Xavi is also targeting the Europa League. however, it looks like it will be the coach's biggest challenge. the reason is, if he is unable to get a single title this season, his career with Barcelona will end in dismissal. regarding Lewandowski, if the appeal is not granted. that way, Barcelona will have problems without a center forward. Xavi must find the right formula and strategy to face Espanyol, Atletico Madrid, Real Betis, a match that was not easy for Barcelona in the absence of Lewandowski. if Barcelona slips, automatically Madrid will return to the top of the La Liga standings. Until now, Madrid remains the favorite to win the La Liga trophy. they are the only most established team in La Liga. Xavi does not want to end this season without presenting a trophy for Barcelona. barcelona spent quite a lot of money in the last summer window for sure barcelona will target one of the trophies for this season. they have two chances to win the trophy including the europa league and laliga. barcelona has a big chance in laliga because they are better than real madrid in the last few matches. Can barcelona maintain its best quality after the world cup later it's worth the wait. in the europa league xavi immediately got a big challenge to be able to bring barcelona through to the next round because barcelona has a strong opponent in the knockout round. |

after the iranian national team (vs. england) did not sing their national anthem and thereby directed a statement towards the iran regime, today the german national team (vs. japan) gave a small reaction towards fifa and the banned '1-love bandage' by covering their mouths during the team picture  I think they should have focused on their game rather than protest - have they had been more focused on the game they would have won the game and we would not have got the shock of their defeat. Likewise - the same this iranian did. They should put everything aside and focus on their game. Because only victory will be celebrated and honored Yes, this shouldn't be a big problem for Germany to protest what Qatar has implemented in this world cup. all countries must respect the rules enforced by Qatar in this world cup. So, back to the Germany vs Japan match, where this match was quite a surprise to many people because Germany, which was held up as the strongest team in this world cup, had to swallow defeat in this inaugural match. Previously, there was Argentina, which had to lose to Saudi Arabia. two countries that have high-quality players in their team had to undergo a series of negative results in their first match at the world cup. maybe the world cup held in Qatar will be one that will record great history in every game because there are many surprises that have happened. |

Break the transfer window and also the world cup will still have an effect on the team. Even though they are not part of the national team squad that represents their country for world cup. Example the physical and mental health of the players that will change when the league returns. This is something that the teams who are fighting for the championship need to be wary of. Changes in the formation of opposing players from the transfer window can make the opposing team better. So, Napoli must be careful and maintain the physical and mental players in order to continue to appear consistent after this break.
If we consider the resumption of the championship as a restart, then Napoli should not experience problems, since the first half of the championship is always successful for them. The problem is that it will be an "unusual" start of Serie A and different players will be in a completely different state after the break (those who rest will be retrained and those who play will be tired). Everyone will need an individual program to get back into Serie A games again. But I think Napoli's medical/therapeutic team can do it. Napoli will not worry about this to start Serie A when the world cup is over, surely the players and coaches will have time to polish their players again to keep performing well in training sessions before the competition starts. Yes, there are indeed a number of teams that will be a little overwhelmed in dealing, especially if the players are injured in the world cup. however, Napoli this season has been quite consistent in every game so when the games start again I think they will be able to maintain their positive trend, but one thing that can make them lose control if several Napoli players choose to leave in January later, of course this is very detrimental to Napoli if they have to lose core players in january. |

I would love to watch Ronaldo at Chelsea while they are having scoring problems already. I know that he hasn't shown any impressive performance but it was due to his not getting many chances in the starting eleven. Otherwise he was pretty solid in the previous season by scoring so many goals in the Premier League.
I don't believe the Real Madrid rumours because Benzema is returning soon. As long as he doesn't get injured once again in a short time I don't expect them to sign any centre-forward in January. Maybe Ronaldo had amazing years there but we have left those days behind.
Chelsea has seemed potential for him, but I don't know how it goes, because Chelsea is not performing well like MU on the premier league. Chelsea still has problems with the coach and I guess between Ronaldo and Potter does not have compatibility with each other, Ronaldo's temperament often explodes when in changing room and fields. Potter looks worried that Ronaldo come to chelsea will affect for solidarity team and maybe won't be as substitution for sterling or others. Which team Ronaldo will go to for the second half of the season is still a big question mark, as he might go to an easier league and leave the EPL. Ronaldo will probably be able to play competitively for only 1 season because in February he will be 38 years old and from there it will be a big benchmark that Ronaldo will seek an easier league for the good times in world football before he decides to retire. Chelsea can rely on Ronaldo in the second half of the season because Chelsea need a sharp enough competitor up front and I think Graham will make that happen. In addition, the status of a free transfer player will be able to attract many big teams to bring in Ronaldo. |

Manchester United just released a club statement that Ronaldo has been released based on mutual agreement.
We all saw this coming, no matter how they would try to forgive him theirs actually no way he his coming back. His coming back might affect other team mates. His statement of be been disrespectful to the Coach was Harsh.
It has been a disaster return. Will Ronaldo get a top club to sign in? That will depend on his world Cup performance.
Last few hour ago Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo have released on mutual agreement cut off contract early before over on June 2023, right now Cristiano Ronaldo become free agent and his chance moving to the team participants at Champion League could be easy. Ronaldo have great reputation right now and bring positive impact based on he has many fans around the world, I think new team reach agreement to sign Ronaldo have potential with T-Shirt sold out and home ticket easy for selling. For new team maybe Ronaldo will announce after World Cup because he want fully focus with national team and could be last time opportunity for him playing on World Cup. I think Ronaldo will be surrounded by many big clubs to get Ronaldo signature after the world cup is over. Even Chelsea, who were very closely associated with Cristiano Ronaldo last summer, would be very lucky if they got Ronaldo in the January window because they don't have to spend money to get Ronaldo. But other than that I think that teams from Serie A are also rumored to want Ronaldo services in the second half of this season. So, back again with Ronaldo desire to play again in the Champions League this season, of course he will most likely go to a club that has already qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League. but I think we will see this certainty after the world cup is over. |

Due to the hard work of Saudi Arabia team players, they won 1-2 against Argentina. The players of the Argentina team were to attack Saudi Arabia again and again. Argentina football team failed to reflect the attack. Saudi Arabia's defender played a huge role in today's game. Saudi Arabia's defenders repeatedly defended the Argentine team's attacks
Saudi arabia deserves it. The defenders of argentina was not doing so good at that match. That's why argentina must lose against saudi arabia. That's good for saudi to take full points from a nation with so many great players like messi. I would like to call that if saudi arabia can be considered as a strong team. Argentina loses against saudi arabia which has been making so many fans surprised with the result from that match. Saudi arabia was loosing everything like ball possession but it can used any change perfectly and then two goals were enough to make saudi arabia to win the game against argentina. That's very good to see that if saudi arabia can also perform so well during the match even so many pressures have come from argentina Almost everyone was surprised by Argentina defeat I don't know if this is just luck or indeed Saudi has a strong quad To prove it we have to see their next match against Poland and Mexico. I can't imagine Argentina going out in the early stages Because Poland and Mexico are not easy opponents based on statistics these two countries are stronger than Saudi Arabia. This match is the group phase stage so you don't need to worry too much about the defeat, of course Argentina will be able to perform better in the upcoming matches. argentina played quite impressive earlier it's just that they were unlucky in the inaugural match of this world cup. I think Lionel Messi will be able to bring Argentina through to the last 16 because in the group phase there are still many matches to be faced by Argentina. Indeed, this defeat broke Argentina winning trend, but that is not a strong benchmark if Argentina is very weak in this world cup. I'm sure Lionel Scaloni will be able to bring Argentina to victory in the next match against Mexico. |

Amazing. Amazing.
2 goals were immediately replied by Saudi Arabia in approximately 5 minutes. The spirit of the Saudi Arabian players immediately increased after the first goal scored by Al-Shehri.
It looks like many bets will fail for those who place for Argentina. Indeed Argentina has a number of star players who played at big clubs, but Saudi Arabia saw a lot of changes in the match against Argentina under Herve Renard, the former coach of the Moroccan national team.
62 minutes already in the second half. What happened and what next?
What game did Saudi Arabia show? This is an incredible game. Never expected that in today's game. It is a shame for Argentina that they are going to lose to Saudi Arabia. Those who supported Saudi Arabia and bet on them are going to be rich today  woww, it's amazing i see some winners with small stakes able to win quite a lot of money. I even had to lose a little money because argentina lost the match earlier but congrats to the winner who supports saudi arabia. Argentina is outside the expedition of most people because the bettors prefer Argentina to win the match but the results on the field are beyond expectations. Saudi Arabia performed quite well because the opportunities they had were converted into goals, but Argentina were unlucky in this match because 3 goals from Argentina were annulled for offside. for now we will see Denmark vs Tunisia, where Denmark is superior in this match. |

I put the score 5 - 0 for Argentina, because I believe that this match will be flooded with goals made by Argentina, Saudi Arabia at that time in the 2006 world cup round, once defeated by Germany 8 - 0 so it's impossible. Argentina only won narrowly over their opponent Saudi Arabia, of course Messi will make a lot of goals in this match, 2 hours from now kick off time will start..
Saudi Arabia is not a difficult opponent for Argentina, and most likely there will be many goals, but betting on the correct score is too difficult, and the odds for Argentina to win are too small. Denmark should also beat Tunisia today, in this match the odds are already better. Denmark has been playing very well lately, Tunisia should not become a difficult opponent for them. Yes, Argentina will be able to easily beat Saudi Arabia in the match that will start soon. Saudi Arabia in their last 5 matches they have been very inconsistent, but Argentina in their last 5 matches they were able to end all matches with a win. therefore the chance for Argentina is very big to win that match even with a big score, I think lionel messi will be the player who will shine in this match maybe he will score a lot of goals for argentina first game in this world cup this season . odds agentina @1.13 saudi arabia @24. this is a pretty fantastic bet if saudi arabia wins but it would be pretty improbable. but we will see the match that will soon start. |

Newcastle must be planning to make their biggest transfers next summer rather than January. Because it would be really difficult for them to convince any top players or their teams for a deal in the middle of the season. Those teams won't have a Plan B in the end and the time for this transfer window is also not that long. They would just bring a couple of decent players in January I guess to strenghthen some positions even more to secure a good season. They have a claim on top 4 as it seems and they will need to do their best to achieve it. Their job is really difficult there.
If they join the Champions League I can't imagine what players they can bring here. They will have no money problem and they will have the needed level of success in the Premier League also in the end.
To maintain their good performance, I think Newcastle United will be looking for a few additional players in this winter window. because several other big teams will certainly continue to exert great pressure for the second half of this season. In fact, I see that Chelsea have been linked with Cristiano Ronaldo, of course if this will come true, Chelsea will definitely put pressure on being able to grab the 4th place position. Newscastle United have strong finances. I think they will be looking for more quality players in the January window. some names may already be in the lineup that will be arriving in the winter window. |

The match between Senegal vs Netherlands has started. Today the Netherlands is playing very well. I still can't guess which team will win this match. But both teams are trying hard to score but neither team has been able to score yet. I am looking forward to see what happens in the match.
The first half ended goalless, even in my previous post I made my choice for the Netherlands, but seeing their game in the first half was really disappointing because they had several good opportunities but didn't finish perfectly. I hope the Dutch can put more pressure in the second half because this is the best chance for them to get 3 points. Senegal in the first round also appeared impressive which was able to provide strong resistance where the statistics of their first round match were able to release more shots than the Netherlands. the second half has started let's see how strong netherlands is to beat the senegal to get 3 points. |

I will choose the Netherlands as the winner in the match against Senegal. Losing Sadio Mane due to injury discouraged my intention to support Senegal in the world cup this time, the Netherlands will appear with great enthusiasm to be able to win this match. especially on the front line, there is Bergwijn who performed quite well in Ajax and I hope he can continue his good form in this match. Apart from that, Senegal will rely on Diatta up front for this fight. World Cup matches are difficult to predict the final results, but in this match Senegal without Sadio Mane will greatly affect their performance and the opponents they face are quite strong when viewed from the quality of the players. maybe a thin score will be a Dutch victory.

Real Madrid is not arrogant, they are the best team in the world and as such should be mindful of players they sign. Benzema is in his apex and he will play very well for atleast 2 to 3 seasons and the young guys in Madrid like Rodrygo and Valverde are doing well and can fit in for Benzema till Real Madrid get a good signing and I prefer a natural 9 player like Victor Osimen to Nkunku
Benzema was once also not the best striker of Real Madrid and did not always have a place in the first team, but now he is one of the most important players in the team. Real Madrid knows how to make real stars with players, for this they have all the conditions, so you should not worry that Benzema will have to leave the team sometime. Not so long ago, Raul was a Real Madrid striker without whom it was difficult to imagine a team, but time passed and everyone began to forget about him... Benzema has achieved everything in his old age and he has been an important player for Real Madrid this season and the previous season. This season even benzema seems to have lost his best form because he an injury that happened to him even in this world cup benzema doesn't seem like he will play because of a thigh injury. with the contract with real madrid ending in 2023 I think ancelotti will be more interested in finding other players to fill the gaps on the front lines because benzema has started to show a decline in performance due to frequent injuries. this will be a sharp turning point for benzema career because last season he was so impressive with real madrid but this season he has to rest a lot. |
