At the moment France Vs Finland are in a tough game, it is just the first half and I see Benzema very worn out to the iguial that Griezmann, Finland has a defensive line very similar to the Italian defense, it is very compact, in fact its attack is very consolidated because it makes France move their lines back to their midfield, this game really promises.

I like the football that France does and although they are winning 1 to 0, Finland can tie and be careful if more goals are encouraged.The growth of Finnish football is very good, Europe really has a great football level, this QATAR World Cup is going to be very exciting.

France really have happened to lost their fear factor, I still can't figure out what exactly the problem tends to be... It's really good for their morale, to have the lead the before the break, despite playing relatively well in the first half I strongly doubt Finland will be able to match up the performance after the break, let alone get back on level terms.



Things really can't get any uglier for Turkey, losing by 3 goals and down to 10 men, all within the the first 45 minutes, currently they're 3rd on the standings, with Norway up 2nd position after the Netherlands.

Ansu Fati will never take Messi's place. Messi has been in Barcelona for a long time. He was familiar with any match strategy of Barcelona and was able to adapt himself properly to all the players on the team. Ansu Fati will need a lot of time to join the ranks of a world-class players like Messi. Besides, I don't think he has the same dribbling skills as Messi.

I agree. Messi was one of the most special football players in the world. One of the best for both Barcelona and the world. Ansu Fati is still a very young football player, he has many years ahead of him. I think he is very talented but Messi is a more special football player. We'll see if Ansu can be that successful, I think he may not be that good of a football player Smiley

There will never be another Messi, I'd agree, as there wasn't another Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Xavi or Iniesta... However, Ansu Fati can make a huge name for himself at Barcelona like all these other players mentioned, he's got what it takes to do that, and the fact he got to play a couple of season with Messi too would have impacted his experience. In as much as he's able to get fully fit and stay that way after a long time on the sidelines, he'll sure prove himself worthy to have been tipped as their heir to Messi.

Portugal vs Azerbaijan would kickoff in a few minutes, and the visitors would be without Ronaldo for this encounter and that's making me second-guess my decision on Portugal HT win @ 1.58

Even after 20 minutes, I still didn't see any team attacking well. I did not expect attacks and goals from the Azerbaijani players. They are a weak team, they will play defensively. But Portugal is strong enough, yet they do not attack as much. They just possess the ball. If played in such a way, the match will be goalless.

Portugal is leading 1-0. The goal was scored by Bernardo Silva in collaboration with Bruno Fernandes. Portugal's players have made only one on-target shot. And that is the goal. However, the match did not see the possibility of a draw. Portugal will win, I bet for their victory. I hope I will not lose money.

Turned out to be an easy bet for me in the end, I anticipated the win to be honest, but sometimes these favourites just don't get firing up earlier into game, it was different here, although there wasn't much of a chance for Portugal before they took the lead.

We are into the stoppage time already... No Ronaldo ? No Problem 😉

I have prepared a parlay for myself for the World Cup matches today. And honestly, I think that it is really good. Croatia must win their match definitely as they are competing with Russia for the 1st place in their group. Besides, there were so many goals in the Turkey vs Netherlands match before. And in the last match which is Bosnia vs Kazakhstan, I expect many goals as Bosnia have really capable players in their attacking line.




That's quite a good selection to tale tbh, but the only fixture I'm somewhat skeptical about is Bosnia vs Kazakhstan, I'm not so sure that game will provide at least 3 goals, but I wish you good luck on that.

honestly this really surprised me, Serbia is in first place in the temporary standings in Group A while Turkey is in first place in Group G temporary standings

Although Turkey defeated Norway and Netherlands, they drew with Latvia and Montenegro in their home stadium. And I think that they lost a big advantage after these happened. In my opinion, Netherlands will take the lead back by defeating Turkey home by a big gap tomorrow.

Mere looking at the group standings, one would think Turkey are in quite a form, but most of the qualifiers fixtures have been played as far back as march, except for the most recent ones against, so It's much more logical to put into consideration Turkey's performance at the Euro before placing a bet on this fixture, it was an awful outing for them in the Euro, and I choose not to believe that they're now a different team simply because they've drew against Montenegro and defeated Gibraltar.

Franck Ribery is on a move after spending some many times on the bench in Fiorentina in the last two seasons battling injuries, it becoming annoying to see a legendary player roaming about going to small clubs. Ribery retire please, wish Bayerm could take him back on laon to end his career at least for all he did for the club.

Quote
Franck Ribéry will officially become a new Salernitana player tomorrow. Medical in the morning - then he’s gonna sign until June 2022 for €1.5m salary net. Ribéry stays in Serie A after last two seasons spent as a Fiorentina player.

Fabrizio

I don't think Salernitana will be competitive enough for Ribery, I think he should have opted for another instead, China or USA would probably pay much better.

Ribery might however impress with the team though, I just don't see them staying in the top flight.

the evening matches are now also over and as i suspected today, kosovo has drawn (1-1) against greece. both goals were scored in the respective halftimes in injury time Grin
otherwise there were no surprises... Tongue


No much dramas, all scripts were played out accordingly... Italy actually pissed me off, It the second consecutive draw after conquering Europe in a spectacular fashion, they've failed to win in two last games, Jorginho probably needs to change his penalty taking technique, any keeper that has faced him before probably knows he'll be waiting for them to move first before kicking the ball, and that gives the keep a bit of an edge, Yann Sommer literally figured this out, it was almost an effortless save.

man what the hell is going on here:

40 minutes played:

Germany 3 - 0 Armenia

I wonder how many goals can still come in this game? i feel sorry for the coach of armenia

Poland 3 - 0 San Marino



spain 2 - 0 georgia

it was expected

I'd say most of these results were anticipated already, I knew at least a few games from tonight should ended at least with 5 goals, Lol. Having Germany and Poland in mind.

Belgium ML vs Czech Republic was my go to and most valuable bet for today, Belgium were offered @ ~1.50 odds and that seemed like a very good bet to take for me.

I do not think anyone can doubt the quality and the abilities of Messi, however he is facing a situation that he has not faced during his whole career, when he was at Barcelona it was the duty of his peers to adapt to his style of play as all the team was created with Messi in mind and how to bring out his maximum potential, however this time is different, he is the one that needs to adapt and not only bring his maximum potential but to do under adverse circumstances, something that is not easy at all but if there is someone that can do it is Messi.

I don't doubt Messi's abilities, he's a great player.

The point is that, it has been questioned whether Messi would really be so good if he played outside Barcelona, outside that style and that team designed for him. He's now going to answer that question, and we'll have the opportunity to see that.

Messi would literally have no issue playing in Paris, Messi has adjusted his playing style over the years, during is early and mid stage in Barcelona, Messi was much more of a solo player, he always relish taking defences in the individually, but later on was more of an assist make playing somewhat deeper behind the forward line.

It think it will much more be about the how the coach decide to use and integrate him into the team or style, neither should be problem.

Guys, I would like to ask you a question!

With Cristiano Ronaldo moving to Manchester United, do you believe he will be close to retirement? Is this plausible?
Because, I believe that the team of his heart can be Porto or United, will Cristiano be able to retire in one of these teams? And he's already 36 years old.

I really doubt Roanldo will finish is career at Man Utd, he is someone who wants to remain competitive always, If he's unable to produce or match the level of competitiveness in the EPL again, he might ended playing far away from Eurpoe, perhaps one or two seasons in the MLS.

Barcelona are keen to sign Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig, reports as per Goal.com established that Barcelona are scheduling a meeting with the players and club representatives to complete a deal for transfer in January.

Aurier can play in every major team in top five leagues, it's surprising teams don't make a move. I wonder what's his wage demand? Fenerbahçe was interested signing him but even if they will they can't use him in EL group stage now. Ribery is wanted by Karagümrük, it would be interesting to watch him in Turkey after all these years. He may retire here as well. David Luiz is another surprising name that couldn't find a club yet. He may either play in Brasil or Turkey as there are transfer offers for both countries.
Aurier is linked to Arsenal in the first place otherwise to Ligue 1 team or less likely Barca or Juve.
Ribery will sign with Salernitana, it was linked also to Verona but was denied later.
David Luiz, well still not clear, Turkey? Brazil? or Serie A? Since he cares much about money AFAIK, he can join a club in Saudi Arabia or Qatar for 2 years then retire in Brazil.

Aurier to Arsenal would probably make much sense, since Arsenal have let Hector Bellerin joined Real Betis during the transfer deadline, but I strongly doubt Barcelona would be making any move for the player.

Netherlands 3: montenegro 0 and it's 72' already which placed Netherlands second on group G after a draw match with Norway. The pressure is really high do we still expect more goals

The match has come an end with a 4-0 final result, It was quite a better performance from Dutch team, after a poor result against Norway few days ago.

Memphis Depay was the star of the scoring two goals, in the one sided game...



It seem France are going to have to settle for a draw yet again, their second consecutive draw, it's yet another subpar performance for the team, Israel vs Austria has got to be the surprise of the day, as the Austrians are currently losing by 5-2.

It is official Mario Mandzukic announced his retirement. One less player on the free player.

This is the list of players without any team who they can join whenever they want outside the transfer market.

There still quite a number of really decent players on that least to be honest, although their wages might be somewhat on the high, if not I guess some average teams can really make do of their services, at least for a short period..

I would have imagined Ribery has retired already, if not for this list.

Did anyone watch CONMEBOL qualifiers late last night?

Messi is extremely fortunate that he did not sustain a major injury following their match against Venezuela. He was this close to getting his left leg snapped in half after a reckless tackle, check out the video if you want:


image source: https://twitter.com/ESPNFC/status/1433590605238743043


I had a small wager soon after the red card on Argentina to win, as well as Peru and Brazil to score. Little did i know, the Brazilian side had so many absentees, almost unrecognizable squad, hell they even had Hulk on the bench lol. I forgot that all their Premier League players are not allowed to travel because of the mandatory 10-day quarantine if they'd to travel back. Lucky me, they scored one after the break and with 7/7 they've pretty much qualified for the World Cup next year.

Messi indeed was very fortunate not to have been injured, I was able to catch the highlight and was surprised that he didn't leave the pitch after the tackle. The Argentina team seemed to be getting everything since before the Copa America, they have a more complete team and
 the chemistry really is there.

As for the Premier League 10-day mandatory quarantine, that means Leicester City's duo Iheanacho and Ndidi, as well Man City's Mahrez would all miss the next couple of league matches as they all travelled.

It is said that Barcelona are still after Leipzig's 23-year-old midfielder Dani Olmo. They failed on signing him in the last transfer window. But they are planning to make an offer to him again. But as long as Barcelona are still in the same financial condition in January, I have some doubts about them to be able to sign him. Dani Olmo is a quite talented player and he would be really useful for Barcelona in my opinion.

I'm not sure the club have the financial capacity to have sanctioned that deal, regardless of how desperate they might, and forcing a deal might only set then back a few transfer windows back from what they're trying to achieve.

I'd rather the club just play out this season with the the already available players and work towards to next season, panic-buying brought the club to this situation, and panic-buying wouldn't bring it out.

This week has been full of shocking surprises in the UEFA FIFA world cup qualifications, and a bitter peels in the mouth of those who always bet on strong European teams to win, and I think I am part of those who cried after the results so far.
First I was surprised about the score in the game involving the world cup champions France after they went on to draw in their last match, I didn't see that coming now yesterday spain did the worse by losing to Sweden.

It was some crazy day and some unexpected outcomes, Spain losing wasn't much of a surprise to me though, because I knew Sweden stood almost an equal chance of winning the game imo, I was more surprised at Italy being held to 1-1 draw by Bulgaria and Germany only being able to out 2 goals past Liechtenstein. England and Poland which  I expected to be a very close affair both out 4 past their opponents, although as for England the score line doesn't actually describe how exactly they had to struggle before finding their first goal and all goals had to come within a short time.

Pjanic is going to Besiktas!

The transfer window is still open in Turkey, what an end for Miralem.
Just 3 years ago he was in a very good shape.

It's really is just a matter of shambles upon shambles for Barcelona, If Pjanic was supposed to be surplus to requirements, then why waste a young player like Arthur Melo to facilitate a deal, while even paying additional money for such deal..

I really can't remember the last time or player Barcelona signed that was an actual success, except Frenkie De Jong.

The king is back again with 2 goals at the end of the game after missing a penalty.

Now he is even more in the history, the best scorer ever with a national club in the history.

After a missed penalty i was thinking he wont score at all in this match,but thats why he is the best player in history not only did he score but he scored twice and won the game for Portgual. What a player!!!  Also on the other hand France is still playing really bad,they cannot beat Bosnia at home.


Ronaldo once again that he should never be underestimated, what a win and congratulations to him on his new record...

France are really playing awfully, I don't know if I'd blame the players or the coach himself, they really lack making clear-cut opportunities, and the understanding between the players is not as it should be, perhaps the coach needs to some changes to the team's tactics and approach.
