This was the final match but for some reason Di Maria had to be replaced, even though Di Maria could still play full time and one of the reasons Di Maria was substituted was usually to rest him longer for the next match. But this is the final match that I think Di Maria can play full time, because after Di Maria is substituted it is difficult for Argentina to make a good attack.
Until finally Mbappe was able to score two goals very quickly, these two quick goals made Mbappe seem certain to get the award as the top scorer.

Wow, that is a very extraordinary achievement that was made by Mbappe as a young player and moreover if France can win the World Cup this time then Mbappe is a complete young player.
I didn't think France could score a quick goal like that, but I think the blame lies with Argentina replacing Di Maria which made Argentina's gameplay more defensive. Even if Di Maria is still playing, then I'm sure Argentina can maintain the victory it has earned at half time.

But the reality is that Argentina can still make very dangerous attacks in this second half and as such, I believe France does not have much hope of turning things around. What's more, I was always impressed with Emiliano Martinez even when Emiliano Martinez played for Aston Villa as well so yes, with Argentina having a goalkeeper like Emiliano Martinez I'm sure Argentina will be safe in this final match.
Because with this 2-0 advantage, of course Argentina only needs to defend it, and in fact Argentina is still trying to score goals and of course this will be a good way for Argentina to maintain this victory.

I personally think that France is playing unusually and it seems that they are quite careful in this final match, with such high alert then I think they will not be free in the match because it is full of pressure.
With gameplay like that, I personally really believe that France will find it difficult to get good opportunities, especially to have goals. But indeed, it does not rule out the possibility that France can still score goal, but I believe that the goal that France might have will not be able to make France lead.

I'm worried about the seven season curse for the Liverpool coach and also as he said because indeed, the issue was also a big worry before the start of this season. But it seems that Kloop has high confidence in being able to break the notion of the curse. But with the current situation and condition of the team, it certainly won't be easy for Klopp to be able to make big changes for Liverpool's performance to improve quickly again.
But if Klopp really manages to break the seven-season curse, then of course Klopp will be the best coach for Liverpool.

Regarding Nunez, of course it would be very unfortunate if Nunez was still difficult to be able to make a big contribution to Liverpool. But at least, it's still early in the season for new players, which I think is still at a reasonable stage for Nunez to be able to adapt.
After all, Nunez wasn't the only player who was a player with expensive signings, but still failed to shape the team's performance for the better.
Because there are many other players who are also bought with a lot of money, but in the end they only spend more time on the bench. So I don't think the Nunez case has become something that is too bad for the team's performance, because Nunez can still be relied on in every match.

I don't understand what you mean by a chance for a European seat, while Villarreal and Valencia are currently even ninth and tenth in the standings. So, how can you say if Villarreal beat Valencia it could be Villarreal's chance for a European seat?
Indeed, although Villarreal are currently ninth and Atletico are fifth in the standings, they only have a three-point gap. But that doesn't mean that by beating Valencia, then Villarreal will immediately be in fifth place for European tickets.

Because after all, Atletico will also play against Elce and that can be a guarantee for Atletico to keep getting points.
So in this case, even though Villarreal managed to beat Valencia, it is not a guarantee for Villarreal to get fifth place in the standings for European tickets. But what is more correct is that if Villarreal manages to beat Valencia, then at least the chance for Villarreal to be able to finish in the top five is still possible.

Yes indeed, when comparing Livakovic and Bono then of course Livakovic still has a long future, because Bono is currently 31 years old and even though at this World Cup Bono appeared impressive but to replace Neuer was not the right choice. In essence, Bayern Munich needs a goalkeeper to replace Neuer for the long term, because if only to replace Neuer at least until the injury ends then I don't think Bayern Munich needs to sign a new goalkeeper.
Therefore, Livakovic is indeed the right choice, because his contract at Dinamo Zagreb itself will expire in 2024.

So this is indeed, this will be the right moment for Bayern Munich to sign Livakovic because his trend and performance are still very good. But even so, there are also many sources who say Bayern Munich are more interested in recruiting Bono, and if these two players have a high interest in being able to play with Bayern Munich then of course they will compete.
But regardless of who Bayern Munich will recruit to replace Neuer, I personally think that these two keepers are in very good form. So it won't be wrong if Bayern Munich recruits one of them, only what makes the difference is their age, I think Bayern Munich will better understand the goals and priorities of the team.

thanks and good luck everyone..

Josko Gvardiol himself still has a long contract at Leipzig until 2017, so it is highly unlikely that Barcelona will be able to sign him. But yes, maybe if Barcelona sells some expensive players who are completely useless, it might be possible for Josko Gvardiol to join Barcelona.
But I think Josko Gvardiol seems smart enough to choose which team is right for him, because choosing to join Barcelona I think is very wrong.

Unless Josko Gvardiol has the same strong will as Lewandowski, Rafinha and also Kounde. They even turned down offers from other big teams because they really wanted to play for Barcelona, when in fact the situation and conditions for Barcelona were very chaotic.
So yes, if Josko Gvardiol gets offers from other clubs especially from Real Madrid, then surely it will be better for Josko Gvardiol for his long term career as well. Considering Josko Gvardiol is still very young and joining Real Madrid is a very promising career for Josko Gvardiol.

If the Juventus scandal is proven then not only Vlahovic will leave Juventus, but I'm sure all Juventus players will leave. In the past, when the Juventus scandal cost Juventus a penalty of being relegated to Serie B and the only players who remained as far as I know were Buffon and Del Piero.
They are players who are very loyal to the team, but in this era I am not sure that any Juventus player will stay if the scandal causes Juventus to receive another relegation penalty.

Therefore, if Juventus are relegated, not only Vlahovic will leave but it seems like all the main players, because after all the main players that Juventus have are of course still in demand by other big teams in Serie A and or also in other leagues.
Any big team that will succeed in recruiting them, then of course it will be a big advantage for them too. But what is clear, we have to wait to see how the results of the investigation will continue, but I hope this scandal is not really proven and keeps Juventus in a good position in the Serie A standings.

Congratulations to Croatia for winning third place in the World Cup this time, I'm also actually sure about Croatia having a bigger chance to beat Morocco and win third place. But even so, I tried to choose something that was the opposite or something different from my personal prediction, so I chose Morocco to win the bet.
Regret is always there, but at least I can still accept it because this way is also a personal choice and not a compulsion from others.

Even though in the past few days I also predicted and believed that Croatia would certainly be able to continue to put pressure on Morocco and that really happened in this match.
Even in the second half, in fact, Croatia had already taken the lead, but Croatia still continued to put pressure on it. So even though Morocco still got a few opportunities in the second half, unfortunately, Morocco failed to convert these opportunities into an equalizing goal.

I'm not sure about Dortmund's priority for a title, because I think Dortmund's priority is just about business and big profits by letting go of the star players they have. Therefore, I personally am not sure when you say Dortmund's priority is for the Champions League, because usually teams that have priority for the Champions League will also try to do better in the local league first.
If even in the Bundesliga Dortmund can't break Bayern Munich's domination, then how can Dortmund win the Champions League title, at least that's the theory.

Not only that, even Dortmund's performance this season in the Bundesliga is quite chaotic, because usually Dortmund has always been the shadow of Bayern Munich. But what happened this season is that even Dortmund are still trying to get back into the top four.
With a result like that, I'm really not sure about Dortmund. Because at the same time the teams that are now in the top four look better and are more prepared to be able to maintain their position in the top four.

There is nothing strange because after all the team that is in the top four is the team that at least managed to make good consistency, having different views is not a problem because anything can still happen anyway. But regarding Liverpool being bad at the start I think maybe because they trusted Nunez too much, because in reality Nunez couldn't quickly make a good contribution to the team.
What's more, Klopp doesn't seem to have any other options after knowing that Nunez still can't replace Mane quickly.

Until the end, Klopp had to work even harder to get back to winning ways quickly and at least they succeeded a bit, because now Liverpool are only four points behind Manchester United who are in fifth place in the Premier League standings.
But even so, Liverpool still need more wins, because Manchester United is slowly getting better under Erik ten Hag.

Morocco has indeed been a surprise at this World Cup but that doesn't mean it will be easy for Morocco to win third place but even so, I also hope for Morocco to win whether it's in regular time or in extra time and or on penalties. At least with Morocco being able to score quick replies too, they can prove that they are still capable of providing strong resistance even though the Croatian squad can be said to be better with the experience they have as well.
But while typing this Croatia can score a second goal and it looks like Croatia will win at half time.

With the victory at half time, I will start doubting Morocco to be able to make a goal back in the second half.
Because so far we also realize that Croatia and Morocco have a good defense, so that when one of them has won at half time then it seems like the team that won at half time at this moment is Croatia will likely be able to maintain its advantage until the end of the match.

Of course, Napoli will also receive defeats and draws for the following matches, but I am sure that the bad results that Napoli will get will not continue to happen. Likewise with Inter's good results, at least Inter will not continue to win in all subsequent matches.
Therefore, these two teams will indeed get wins, draws and losses, but one thing I believe is that they will not continue to get the same results every match they play.

With these considerations, of course, these two teams will still have a gap that will not make them overtake each other, unless the gap is very close, then of course the possibility of overtaking each other is very likely.
But with this wide enough point gap, I personally doubt if they will get closer in the standings because of course Napoli will also defend its position in the standings with great effort.

Great if in fact there are other players who deserve to be man of the match, because we only know about Messi, of course we cannot doubt Messi's performance and contribution so far. But if actually there are other players who also have a big contribution, then of course that will also be very good for Argentina's performance and I'm not too concerned about which player is more worthy of getting the man of he match.
But indeed, if they also make a big contribution then the media should be able to bring it up to the media as well and not just about Messi.

Therefore, I think Argentina is indeed a team that has a chance to win but that doesn't mean it's an easy job.
Because after all, France is also at this very good moment so they still have the potential to win the title. Anyway, the two teams in this World Cup have great potential and what is a little different is the result in the first game. About Argentina who got the result of losing, while France really dominated the match from the beginning of the match.

Basically, the performance of Arsenal and Manchester City is also not as perfect as imagined, they are not easy to keep winning. It's just that, when the performance of Arsenal and Manchester City was not good, other competing teams also experienced very severe performance declines such as Liverpool and Chelsea.
But yes, we don't know what will happen next, but if I consider situations like this, then I think Liverpool still have a chance to finish in the top four.

Besides that, when I consider Arsenal and Manchester City's performance is not so perfect, then I doubt them to be able to win the title this season.
Even though so far Arsenal and Manchester City are still in first and second place in the Premiere League standings, it looks like their position will be taken over by a team that has just become the richest team and is experiencing a very rapid increase in performance.

It is very unfortunate indeed, Barcelona only buys expensive players but when Barcelona releases them or sells them only at a lower price. It's not a problem as a big club to buy expensive and sell cheap but what's really unfortunate is, players who were previously obtained at high prices but in reality these players can't contribute as they should and or a failure.
A case like this is of course an unhealthy investment and certainly destroys the club's own finances, so it is indeed difficult for Barcelona to get new players in the upcoming transfer market.

But if in the January transfer market later Barcelona can still buy some expensive players, then I would really question whether financial fair play is actually implemented or not.
Because Barcelona's financial case has become a big question mark by several other clubs and coaches out there. Even though they have new sponsors and have also sold their broadcasting rights but still, there will always be a limit to them buying a lot of luxury players at exorbitant prices.

Basically there is no guarantee that a team will be better or worse after the break, because any result can still happen. But yes, because before this break we got a great record from Napoli, then at least that's enough to make us confident that Napoli will be able to maintain this good result.
But of course not everyone has the same assessment, especially for those who have a strong love for certain teams. So they will also believe that the team they love will be able to break Napoli's dominance this season.

In fact, if we consider the existing point gap, I personally as a person who has a neutral view, at least I would say that the point gap is quite wide and difficult to overtake.
With these considerations at least it makes me sure that Napoli is safe enough at the top of the Serie A standings, because I'm sure Napoli will be able to maintain good results for other matches later. Unless I still think that Napoli will still be difficult to be consistent, then I also might have a view for Napoli's position which can still be taken over.

Yes indeed, Liverpool were able to win in the last two matches before yesterday's break but the fact is, Unai Emery was also able to make two consecutive wins before yesterday's break for Aston Villa when they played against Manchester United and Brighton in the Premier League. With the same result with two consecutive wins, I don't think Liverpool will be easy to beat Aston Villa at Villa Park.
Even if I consider their head to head results obviously Liverpool are better, but I'm still not completely sure about Liverpool.

Indeed, at this time it is also clear that even though Liverpool will play away, Liverpool are still the favorite team.
But even so, I still believe that Aston Villa under Unai Emery's coaching can get better. Therefore, maybe I would bet on Aston Villa with a handicap option like Aston Villa +1 or maybe +1.5. Because for me, even though Liverpool are the favorite team and for example can get three points, I'm sure the victory that Liverpool will get will not be with a big score and maybe only one goal difference, but I think the match could have ended in a draw.

I personally don't see any of them being superior because with them being able to have the same number of goals in this World Cup then of course they are the best and superior in their respective teams. Mbappe is ahead of France and Messi is ahead of Argentina, both have different ages but it's great that Messi, even though he is older, Messi can still show his best qualities competing with younger players.
If I consider this then it is clear, Messi who has a lot of experience and awards so I can say Messi is superior.

But if it's only about their rivalry for the top scorer in this World Cup, then I can't see which one is superior, because both of them also have a good style of play and support in the team.
Therefore, let's see who of them can score more goals in the final match because to be honest, scoring goals in the final match will be difficult because everyone involved in the final match will certainly put in a huge effort.

Will Endrick play for Real Madrid this season? Because it looks like Endrick will only join Real Madrid in 2024, at least there are still two years ahead for Endrick to be able to prepare everything even better. Maybe, there is an age limit for young players who can play for the main squad in the league and professional teams. Therefore, even though Real Madrid had made a transaction, Endrick did not immediately move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Considering that Endrick himself doesn't have much experience playing in different leagues and clubs, then of course it would be a big risk if Real Madrid took him right now.

With this transaction, of course, it is a great achievement that Endrick has had at a young age, because at his young age and not much experience, Real Madrid has seen the great potential that exists in Endrick and this opportunity is very rare for young players out there.
It will be interesting to wait for what big steps Endrick will make, because if during the two-year period before joining the Real Madrid main squad, Endrick did not have any achievements, then of course that would be a cause for concern as well.
