Today, Netherland vs USA and Argentina vs Australia for the first game of the round of 16. I predict USA and Argentina to win today's match.
Let's see how your predictions co-relates to the odds placed by the gambling sites. Argentina is no doubt the favorite of the two and should win against Australia. The odds also suggest the same.  However, when we see the odds of the match between the Netherlands and the USA, the Netherlands is the favorite team however you are getting a very good odds in case the united states of America wins.  The two countries mentioned are a favorite to win in the first match in the last 16. But don't be too confident because maybe we will see a lot of surprises that we always see in the group stage. Argentina is very superior to anything from his opponent this time, but they must be careful that he did not make the mistakes needed because in the round of 16 and then it would be a match of life and death. |

Neymar is the one performing the most well for PSG currently. So not having him available is going to be a problem for PSG.
In only 14 matches this season, he has scored 11 goals and dished out nine assists. This is a very positive record for him so far.
I am sure that Lionel Messi and Mbappé are going to be able to play well for PSG. I am not sure if Messi will be able to perform as well without Neymar, and this is my main concern at this point. Because we all know that Messi is a great friend of Neymar, but he does not have that type of friendship with Mbappé at all. So, I personally think that if Mama takes a long time to recover, it is going to be a problem for PSG. Especially in Champions League matches.
There is an interesting fact in Neymar's case, he has experienced something like this since he first participated in the world cup in 2014 and it will definitely take quite a long time to recover. the issue is that PSG is targeting Marcus Rashford, I don't know if Rashford is being prepared to replace Neymar. We'll just see the development of Neymar. Neymar has indeed become one of the important players in the Paris Saint-Germain squad. The injury he experienced while defending his country was one thing to worry about, but it happened to him. according to reports the injury is not too severe and allows for a quick return. Let's hope that this is true so he can return to play for Paris Saint-Germain and if possible return to play in the World Cup with Brazil. |

The very bad performance of Germany in World Cup can affect Bayern Munich too. Germany have many players from Bayern and look at their performances in World Cup, it is not good for Bayern when they meet PSG in Champions League.
Of course it will have an impact. First of all, Bayern can train with a full squad much earlier. Then no one will be injured either. But I would not say that the players are now playing worse at Bayern Munich. In the national team, it was not just the palyers from Bayern Munich. Hansi Flick did not manage to form a team from the individual players. You are right, indeed Bayern Munich is a team that sends a lot of players to Germany. But in terms of games, they were better when they played at Bayern Munich than when they played in Germany. Moreover, the strategic factor will also greatly affect the form of their game. I also see that Nagelsmann and Hansi Flick differ in terms of strategy. It will have an impact maybe, but it won't be significant in my opinion. |

Sergio Busquets is 34 years old and has played for Barcelona for 15 seasons, Barcelona being the only club he has defended throughout his career, at least until recently. Busquets continues to be rumored to be moving to Inter Miami soon, but until now he has not agreed with any club so far.
Inter Miami is indeed a club that really wants to bring in Busquets, Busquets contract at Barcelona will expire in June 2023, if Barcelona are not interested in keeping Busquets, Inter Miami will become Busquets port to continue his career before deciding to retire from football.
Sergio Busquets once made a statement, he would continue to be at Barcelona until coach Xavi needed him, but in that statement, he also opened up opportunities and possibly moved to another club. Rumors are developing that Inter Miami is linked to Sergio Busquets, but until now there has been no official statement from either club management or the player. Barcelona is preparing a long-term project by strengthening young players in the coming years, that's why Sergio Busquets has doubts about staying at Barcelona, especially since the player's contract will expire in 2023. I think it will be completely Xavi Hernandez's decision for Sergio Busquets' future at Barcelona. He will continue to be in this team if he is still needed to help Barcelona. And also I heard that Xavi Hernandez is struggling to keep him speaking specifically to the management. That means Xavi Hernandez still has high hopes for Sergio Busquets to stay at Camp Nou. This is a pros and cons among fans, because many also think that it is time for Barcelona to let go of this loyal player. |

I heard about Ronaldo's replacement options. After Man United definitely fired him, I read several social media if they wanted to bring in Cody Gakpo and the second option was AC Milan winger, Rafael Leao. Leao brought Ac Milan to the championship last season, apart from that he can also play in several positions such as wing attacker and center forward.
I hope Leao doesn't move from AC Milan in the near future. Because Milan really needs Leao for now. He became a key player for AC Milan to stay in the Top 3 of Serie A. If Leao goes to MU I'm sure it will be a big loss for Milan. Because so far, Leao has made a very good contribution to AC Milan's success in the current standings. Leao also proved his performance in the World Cup and had the opportunity to help Portugal qualify for the knock out phase. That would be a tough consideration if they didn't have the option of replacing him with a new player. However, if there is an agreement between them regarding the transfer of Leao, maybe they already have another player who will be a substitute instead of Leao. Manchester United themselves are now eyeing many players for them to recruit in the winter transfer window. Names like Cody Gakpo until Leao became players who entered their radar. |

I am very curious about Juventus' actions in the future after this shocking news. They will need to manage this crisis in the best manner not to cause it to get bigger. Maybe you will say how bigger this situation can be for them but for example they can be relegated from the Serie A. This would be the last thing this team would like to see it happening.
In case of an incident like this it would be too difficult for them to recover. Before anything else they would just lose many of their big players as they wouldn't like to play for a second league team.
Juventus are now better off with their success getting back into 3rd place in the standings. However, the question is whether they will be able to maintain their winning streak or not. I think they are also better now in terms of players, because some of the players who were out injured at the moment with them have come back. That is good news for Juventus, because the players who return later will become new strengths that will help Juventus to have more confidence in themselves. |

I have no problem with Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo, but Real Madrid still need a pure striker, while the two players are still suitable to play in the winger position. Moreover, Benzema is no longer young, therefore Readl Madrid must buy new players in the next season's transfer market, otherwise they will find it difficult to adapt to a big team that has a great striker. Moreover, next year they have to compete in La Liga and the Champions League, it will definitely be difficult if you still rely on Benzema.
Real Madrid has a problem in attack which until now has not found a player who can replace Benzema. Because Benzema's position is so crucial that it must be filled by players who have good abilities, such as an instinct for scoring goals, being smart in finding good positions, quick in making decisions and others. I agree that Vini and Rodrygo are good players but can't replace the positions they've left now. In the upcoming transfer window they have to really hunt for players. |

Money just doesn't seem to be Ronaldo's priority at least for now. Because he is still passionate about playing for teams that is a participant in the Champions League. He has achieved so many titles and awards in his career so far. He doesn't need to prove anything to himself or anyone actually. It is just about his nature that he is an ambitious person in every condition. Maybe he is this much eager to do this but we don't know how many of this kind of teams will be interested in him in January transfer window.
We have seen rumours about Chelsea maybe but they are focused on finishing the Nkunku deal for now. If they do this then they might not be eager to make another striker signing. I don't believe the rumours about PSG and Bayern Munich also.
Ronaldo has always been a player passionate about playing, with his achievements I would expect him like every other player to focus more now on the money and getting richer but he is still hungry and eager to play more which is just shockingly amazing. I really curious to see which team he ends up joining after leaving United, hopefully a less difficult league. Yes, that's Cristiano Ronaldo, he has always been a person who is hungry for the achievements of himself and the team he defends. He won't want to stop halfway, as long as he can still play football he will continue to do so, until his age really stops him. Regarding which team he will defend is still a question mark, because now his focus is only on playing in the World Cup, so we'll have to wait until he completes his mission. |

In my opinion, Union Berlin is not expecting to improve in the near future. If anything, they are most likely to find themselves in a downward spiral in the next few matches. It is true that there are a lot of strong words that can be used to describe the current state of Union Berlin. As a matter of fact, they were lucky at the start of the season and now they are not as lucky as they were at the beginning.
I agree with what you said about Union Berlin, they won't be back as quickly as they were at the start of the season. And now I'd rather say they were lucky at that time because when they are playing well, the other team is doing the opposite of their form, so they are easy to be on top for a while. Now that other teams are slowly returning, it is difficult for them to compete with such teams as Freiburg and Leipzig. |

The most remarkable match of the day will be the Iran - USA match to be played in Group B. I wonder how the political rivalry of the two countries for years will reflect on the field. A draw is enough for Iran. England easily passes Wales and the first England becomes the second Iran. In 2 hours everything will be clear.
yeah right. but it seems that at the beginning of the first half that was underway, the two teams were still in a draw and it was not yet clear which team dominated the match. but in terms of attack speed Iran is superior. but USA's defense so far is pretty good. and USA has a counter attack that is no less fast. and in individual possession the USA is also superior. USA needs to win in this game to qualify. but for Iran the draw results still provide an opportunity for them to qualify. The United States is in control of the game and continues to pressure the defense from Iran. Iranian players are mostly in the defensive area, almost all of their players are below the halfway line. Their transition when they had the opportunity to counterattack didn't go well either, I noted that there were at least 2 times they were able to counterattack but they couldn't use it properly because the other players were late in helping the attack, I saw only 2 players when they attack. |

I think Hakim Ziyech will still be considering a move away for better opportunities and playing time because it looks like he has fallen out of favour with the new manager talking about Erik Ten Hag. At this point I doubt if he will be granted an extension for further years. I still wonder why a player like Ziyech is not getting playing times at Chelsea. He needs a chance to show how much he can help the team.
If he show a good result during training or match, of course Graham Potter will let him to play. Ziyech has been played for 3 times when Tuchel still become Chelsea's manager, it's a match between Southampton, Leeds and Dinamo Zagreb, but as you can see Ziyech doesn't score any goal, moreover his shoots is really bad. I'd say Ziyech is only lucky during world cup match, we don't know how stable his performance. Yes, I agree, the coach is impossible not to play players who show good play during practice. And what happened to Hakim Ziyech because maybe the coach wasn't satisfied with what he showed during training. This means that he has to put in even more effort to be glimpsed by the coach and break into the main squad in the team. We can't blame a coach for not playing players we think are good, because coaches have their own standards in determining which players can be trusted. |

Real Madrid seem to be just as dependent on Benzema now as they were on Ronaldo. He has given Madrid the Cl 3 years in a row. Benzema was also very important last year with his goals in the CL. In the league, they can make it through a few games without Benzema, but he's hard to replace. The difference in level between Barcelona and Real Madrid compared to the rest of the teams is quite big. But Barcelona is the best on paper, I just don't know which of the 2 teams will make a mistake first. Real Madrid had a slightly worse period before the break was called in by the World Cup.
Real Madrid performance is gradually decreasing since Benzema has injuries that made him not to function well like last season he demonstrated well through out the tournament without any injuries stop him. The way the tournament is going now, showed that Barcelona will take a lead after the break in this la Liga league table, because Barcelona players are doing well in this season compared to last season that made them to struggle to won some matches. I think, there is a great future ahead of Barcelona in this la Liga league season, which will be difficult for any teams to stop them not to achieve this season title. It depends on how Xavi Hernandez maintains something they have built since last season. They have spent a lot of money to create the team we are seeing now, fortunately they can play well so they don't waste what they have spent in the last transfer market. Real Madrid did struggle when Benzema couldn't play, which is a shame because they haven't found a replacement who can take Benzema's place. |

A lot of good games in the europa league play offs such as Rennes vs shakhtar , rennes is doing great in the last couple of years and shakhtar team has a good history in european competitions its a tough game to predict but i give a slight advantage to Rennes team just because of their players quality.
Shakhtar went into the Europa League play offs as they failed to compete with Real Madrid and RB Leipzig in the Champions League group stage. Meanwhile, Rennes could not compete with Fenerbache in the European League group phase. It is true that this match will be very difficult to predict because both teams are in good condition in their respective domestic leagues, it's just that they cannot compete in higher events such as the Champions League and Europa League so that puts them to get rid of each other in this round. |

What !!! Belgium is defeated by Morocco?  surprise still continues in the World Cup somehow teams from Europe had difficulty winning the match Is it true that teams from Europe have difficulty adapting to the weather in Qatar? so great players like Kevin De Bruyne can't score goal Very sad if favorite countries are eliminated earlier like Germany who is still struggling to get the first point. It is difficult for us to predict what will happen in the World Cup this time, because so many surprises have occurred in the matches that have been contested. Surprises still have the potential to occur in the upcoming matches. The big countries that are the favorites in the match cannot prove that they are really trusted. Maybe one of the reasons for them is the weather, but there are other things that I think affect them a lot too. |

After a bad start, Juventus still somewhat in the track of Napoli. They are also unlucky that Napoli takes so many points and actually leaves nothing behind.
We can see the progress of Juventus' development in Serie A is very good. Even in several matches they never lose and always win with satisfying results and games. Their failure in the UCL certainly gave a bitter lesson so they kept trying in the Italian Serie. Although maybe this is also too difficult to get the title, moreover, the number of points is very different from Napoli. Napoli itself is the most consistent and growing club. But I don't know if after the FWC there will be a change in players at the club or not, which might interfere with Napoli's performance. Because after all there are some big clubs aiming at some Napoli players. Juventus shouldn't focus too much on winning titles, they should focus more on their own game. The reason is that it is true that they have won in a row, but I cannot say that their game is satisfactory. In fact, I think in some of their wins it was a stroke of luck that came their way. There is time for them to be able to perform even more satisfactorily, also some of the players have recovered from injury. |

I don't know why big clubs always want to buy more players. They will be focusing on Champions league and be buying so many players and forgetting that there is no club in Bundesliga that can give them big fights.
Bayern Munich coach should find a way to stablize his team and that team will be so great. They have too many goal scorers in the person of Mane, Sane, Gnabry, this African Moting, Coleman etc. These army is able to bring any team down if well utilized.
The Bayern Munich coach also very often uses all the players he has bought in the right positions so that no one should be surprised when he sees Bayern Munich win a lot against other big teams. Even though there are many star players in a team, it is also not a guarantee that the team can win any league title easily. Because a team that doesn't have more star players can also be very good when the position of the players is in the right place and also the cooperation of better players is always there in every game When a team collects many players in the same position, the coach may not be satisfied and is still looking for players who really make him satisfied. In this case, Bayern Munich also wants to have players who are ready in all conditions, including making sudden rotations. Indeed, the number of star players will not guarantee that the team will win the title easily, but for the Bundesliga Bayern Munich has reached a different level from other teams. |

Liverpool does not have a chance in the English Premier League title. They are no longer top contenders but they can end up in top 4 if they are serious to displace Manchester United and Newcastle United and yet it is very difficult to happen.
In the Champions League, they don't also have a chance. I don't trust them to beat Real Madrid. What they cannot do when they had Mane and the team was complete, is it now that they will do it?
Liverpool still have a chance to beat Manchester United with existing problems so I'm sure Liverpool can take advantage of this situation to get goals, but for Newcastle this is indeed very hard to fight against because considering their very good game, it was proven that in the last game they managed to win five times in a row. Liverpool still have a chance for that, Premier League matches still have a lot of matches left that will allow them to break back into the top 4, with the note that they should be able to play better when the league resumes. They are only 7 points adrift of the 4th position currently occupied by Tottenham, moreover there is no guarantee for those who occupy the top 4 now will be able to maintain that position very well. |

I still don't believe that PSG will win the Champions League. Because PSG doesn't have enough defense to reach the Champions League final. The Champions League is a tournament of the best clubs, where you have to build the best team to do well. I still believe that Manchester City is a worthy team to play in the Champions League final.
Yes, that's natural because I myself still have a lot of doubts about them now. They only benefit because they have a lot of star players, because if you talk about the game, there really isn't anything special that they show in the Champons League or in Ligue 1. Actually, if we pay attention when talking about Paris Saint Germain, it will be more focused on their front three, not on the game. as a whole from Paris Saint Germain. |

Argentina vs mexico match will start in around 13 minutes from now and this is the best chance for Argentina to recover from the shocking lose against arabi saudi and prove that they are not ready to leave the world cup for the group stage, i expecte an easy win for Argentina and i will bet on hondicap -1.5
I would like to see the faces of half people in this planet if Argentina lose against Mexico and got kicked out of the World Cup. Obviously this is hard to happen especially that Argentina is better and will play with all its power to get these 3 points. So far in the group stage, we have only one team that guaranteed a ticket to the next level and it is France, and one team that got kicked and it is Qatar. There will be lot of shocked faces for sure. It will be hard to gulp down the fact that they got kicked out in group stage if happens. Argentina has too much of quality in their squad and are the heavy favourites to win the World Cup. It is a must win game against Mexico and hope they do at least make it past the group stage. About France and Qatar, I am not surprised as France are a really good team and Qatar haven't made a quite good impression like other underdogs are doing. We all know that Argentina is widely predicted to be the favorite to win the title in Qatar. And now they are hanging on to today's game, if they can win then they still have hope, but if they lose then Argentina will have to immediately take their bags from Qatar. The match will enter the first 30 minutes, and there are no goals or even opportunities that have the potential to be scored. Argentina controlled the game and continued to press Mexico. But Mexico tried to implement a strategy of survival and more waiting. |

Yes, Manchester City and PSG will return to the attention of many people this season. These two wealthy teams are very ambitious to be able to win the Champions League title for the first time for them. But in my opinion, Manchester City is more likely to realize his dream. And I certainly really hope that Manchester City and PSG will be ideal Finalists.
Manchester City and PSG have spent a lot of money and have managed to form a stable and strong team this season. Galtier and Guardiola are doing quite well. They have strengthened their team. I guess PSG can qualify for the final if PSG can win the next match against Bayern. On the other hand, if Haaland of Manchester City continues to perform consistently well, then they are capable of winning against any team. To reach the finals all teams must always be consistent, there is no other way to reach the finals other than winning every match. PSG and Manchester City have formed teams a few years ago to achieve their goals, this year Manchester City and PSG will compete again to lift the Champions League trophy. Guardiola and Galtier are already equipped with a strong squad, they must develop the right strategy to achieve success in the Champions League. Obviously to get a place in the Champions League final they have to play very consistently. I think if you compare Paris Saint Germain and Manchester City, Manchester City has more opportunities to do that. Because they had a solid game as a team, whereas at Paris Saint Germain they were no better than what Manchester City did. These 2 teams are aiming for the Champions League trophy which they never got while participating in this competition. |
