You cannot be counting Barcelona as favourites to win the Europa League when they have not overcome Manchester United that is a big challenge for them. If you want to count favourites, it will.be fine you mention both of them because anyone that won between Manchester United and Barcelona may likely get to the finals of the Europa League for this season. It is unfortunate that the two big teams met early
Barcelona still not yet in the favorite for UEFA Europe League trophy because they have heavy match against Manchester United at play off round, current bad performance facing with bigger team I doubt chance for Barcelona can win against with Manchester United and not really sure with Barcelona chance can lead to next round. Early have to see big match at Europe League between Barcelona vs Manchester United because I think excited if both team meet at final stage than play off round, but still have many big top teams left on Europe League from Juventus, Arsenal and the historical team with EUFA Europe League trophies Sevilla. I don't agree with your opinion because even though they will face Manchester United in the Play offs, they are still the favorites even in this match. In terms of conditions, they are still the same, but in terms of teamwork, it is clear that Barcelona is still above Manchester United until now, even though we are also aware that their performance in the Champions League was disappointing, but I think that in terms of attack and goal productivity, Barcelona is clearly superior. |

In itself I can live with South Korea going through to the next round. And let's be honest, both Uruguay and South Korea don't stand a chance against Brazil in this form. But, strange things can happen in football. In group G, the last matches are now played in the group stage, both matches are still 0-0 and little spectacle. But Brazil will probably mainly want to save strength so as not to incur injuries. And Neymar can also recover for another week that way.
But at least qualifying is much better than being stuck in the group phase. Brazil is currently the favorite because with their current players they are indeed very good and every line is lined with players who really play in a big league so their experience is obviously very large. But in this case, we still can't be sure that it will be an absolute victory, especially with the world cup this time always being decorated with various surprises. |

What a night! We saw all the details that make football beautiful tonight. It was unclear until the last moment whether Germany, Japan, Costa Rica or Spain would advance to the next round. We watched two matches with a very high threshold of excitement. I really wanted Costa Rica to surprise and go to the next round, but they failed.  Also, Germany's early elimination from the cup was also a big surprise for everyone. I certainly did not expect such a result. In the end it did come as a surprise again and again for the world cup. After a few hours ago, Belgium is now Germany, who have to go home early, even though they are one of the favorites to qualify for the next round. Japan really played really well and I like the way they played in this game. with this result they are the second asian club to qualify and i like this. |

I see Barcelona without money to buy relevant players, the one I see best is Lewa, they just have to focus on him to get the victories,
barcelona has excellent players you can see in this world cup they playing for example some good barcelona players: Raphinha - excellent player for barcelona and who in this world cup scored a very beautiful goal for brazil and who is in the center of attention since he is playing in the world cup Ousmane Dembélé - another great barcelona player who is in the spotlight at the world cup for france, you can see him when he plays for france how he is an excellent player Ferran Torres - another great barcelona player who is also being the center of attention at the world cup when spain is playing In this case, I quite agree with you, but judging from his current condition, it seems that Ferran still hasn't shown something that is his greatest ability at Barcelona because I really prefer to see the side where Dembele or Raphinha are when Barcelona play. But indeed in this case Barcelona has some good things because Dembele is more priority in terms of skills especially for one on one but Raphinha is also very good in the speed he has. |

I'm sure Morocco's performance surprised everyone. Croatia and Belgium were the favourites in Group F. But leaving behind these two teams, Morocco qualified for the knockout round by becoming the group champions. And the important thing is that Morocco has not conceded a goal in three matches. Morocco won 2-1 against Canada in today's match. But the goal was due to a mistake by defender Aguerd. If we can do such a performance in the knockout round, I think we will see the Moroccan team in the quarter-finals.
Agree with this because indeed seeing from their condition they are a dark horse in my opinion but surprisingly they are at the top of the group stage. On the other hand, Belgium became a clown in the world cup event this time, even though they were dominated by great players in every line of theirs but they failed miserably and there was even a split in their squad because they were still arguing with each other's selfishness. |

I even see that Napoli will play better when the second half of this season starts. because Napoli itself did not contribute much to its players playing in the world cup. so there is no reason for the Napoli players to experience a decrease in performance. only 5 players that Napoli donated to play in the world cup. namely Kim Min Jae (South Korea, Mathias Oliviera (Uruguay), Piotr Zielinski (Poland), Frank Anguissa (Cameroon) and Hirving Lozano (Mexico). Meanwhile, Napoli's key superior players did not participate in the World Cup. Like Osimhen who did not participate in the cup world because Nigeria didn't qualify for the World Cup. but when the player transfer season starts then I think that's when Napoli will be affected. because As we know a lot of teams are after Osimhen. and if Napoli lose Osimhen then I think Napoli will decline.
It depends on how they make their players survive in the next half of the season because indeed their current squad is very strong but if even one axis of their core players leaves then I think this will have quite a big impact on performance later. At the moment there have been some attractive offers for Napoli in terms of players and of course this could affect performance if one especially for players in attack and midfield they leave. well, that's what will happen if Napoli loses one of its leading players, who has been the key to victory so far. in fact all the Napoli players have played well this season. But still, if one of the players leaves, the balance in the well-designed line-up will suffer. I even read the news some time ago that Napoli could give up Osimhen if an offer at a high price came. and now it is reported that the teams from the Premier League who are interested in Osimhen are MU and Chelsea. and as we know MU and Chelsea in terms of finance no doubt, they are rich clubs. As an Italian league fan I hope that I can continue to see Osimhen in the Italian league (Serie A). This does not rule out the possibility because at this time Napoli still has a price tag of more than 100 million in the clause so indeed when this clause is fulfilled there is indeed no reason for Napoli to refuse again, especially if Osimhen really wants to leave. But I still hope they can still keep this player, especially since the contract is still long because it will end in 2025 so they can still retain this player. |

LOL.. two big upsets today. France (who are supposed to be one of the tournament favorites) got defeated by Tunisia, and then Australia managed to defeat Denmark. But despite the win today, Tunisia is out of the world cup, as Australia ended up with 6 points. Danmark had a disappointing tournament, and they finished at the last position in Group D. Till now, a total of 6 teams have qualified for the PQF stage, and these are: Netherlands, Senegal, England, United States, France and Australia. And out of these the most surprising inclusions have been that of Senegal and Australia.
Actually it's not too surprising because they really didn't make anything, moreover they played it safe by securing some of their core players because they really wanted to focus on the next phase considering they were safe. But it's a surprise for Denmark, especially since they can be said to be the favorites in this group but they have to be at the bottom of the final standings. Even though Tunisia won, they still lost in the group phase and congratulations to Australia. This knockout stage of the world cup will be full of many surprises for the top team as the stage is where any little mistake can send the country back home from the world cup, Tunisia and Argentina we're my most favorite for the world cup. But with the way things are going a lot may become the outcome of the moment and I also await the result of Argentina tonight's match. At least Australia is a team that surprised me because indeed for other groups such as France, the Netherlands or Senegal this is already in my prediction. Now Argentina is playing, it will be great that they can win in this game but I don't think it can be said that they won even though they are the seed, especially if you can say that this is a match of life and death. |

This can indeed still happen but in the current conditions winning the European league and EPL clearly requires a very big effort for them even though at the moment their consistency is still maintained but we also know that Arsenal sometimes change from time to time and cannot be predicted so this it can still happen but quite difficult in my opinion.
What things have you seen at Arsenal this season? So it seems you are still in doubt for Arsenal who have to focus on the Europa League and Premier League this season. Because for Arsenal this season is a very good opportunity for them to win these two very different competitions and so far Arsenal have also shown very positive performances and unusual abilities in every game. Even though they are in good condition, actually there is still no guarantee, I think. Indeed, in this case the chances are still big but on the other hand we also know that there are still some very long and tough schedules that they still have to go through and of course this still has to make them work hard even though their condition is currently in good condition but we it is still uncertain whether in the future, especially after this half of the season, they will be able to maintain their consistency. Indeed, the big hope is to be able to maintain this but seeing their track record in consistency I still have to see their performance because this still cannot be predicted with confidence enough in my opinion. |

It should be realized that the Champions League is very different from Ligue 1 because in any case both in terms of quality and competitiveness they are very different.
Now with PSG's condition there is no doubt for them in Ligue 1 but the Champions League is a different story because this is where champions gather so it is quite natural that they have difficulties especially they are too happy in Ligue 1 so when they are in the Champions League they are a little different because of the ability of the club others are also very good.
There is no doubt Champions League is completely different place from any domestic league and here every team needs to be very competitive and having energetic performance on game day if they want to stay into good position because here we can expect shocking results frequently like we have in current world cup where few top quality teams lost matches against the weakest sides which were no in books because on game day if you have your best then surely you can do amazing performance for the win. With PSG is having big edge in Ligue 1, but sadly they are facing completely different opponents in Champions League which give them tough challenge but in current season they are doing better job and trio is also at his best which is double bonus and this can give them good end of this season in Champions League even they can win this which is surely long time dream and things are going to give this a reality just need consistency from them. So from that, we can see that from the quality alone it is very different, so indeed Ligue 1 cannot be compared to the Champions League because this is indeed very different in any way. Now the comparison of PSG in Ligue 1 clearly cannot be used as a benchmark because indeed in this case it refers to that difference so that even though PSG is strong and dominates in Ligue 1 still for the Champions League they are still on par with several other big clubs from various domestic leagues there even though they are we know that they are still one of the favorites but it is still uncertain how they are currently there whether they will qualify for the knockout or not. |

It is interesting if we look at the statistics of the players from Ligue 1, where Paris Saint Germain players are at the top of the line in terms of scoring goals and also scoring assists. In the top scorer record while Mbappe leads with 12 goals, followed by Neymar with 11 goals, in 3rd place is Terrem Moffi from Lorient with 10 goals. Meanwhile, on the list of names for assist scorers, Messi was the top name with 10 assists, followed by Neymar with 9 assists. These 3 Paris Saint Germain players are in the top positions in Ligue 1 statistics. With this, there is no doubt that they are a team that really dominates in all respects, be it management, finances, players, and so on. It would be a shame if they couldn't become champions.
It's not too strange about this because you can already guess what their condition will be like, especially with the quality of the players from other clubs who are actually very far away when compared to them, so something like this will definitely happen. I personally feel in this case with the productivity they have in terms of goals, of course this will make a significant difference later. There is no doubt that the players are having a good time on the field. I would like to point out that the forward three, especially that group, are probably making the best attack at the moment. There is a problem, however, in that PSG has a bad track record when it comes to choking in the Champions League. So, I am not so confident that they will be able to perform well in the Champions League. However, I am confident that they will be able to perform well in the Ligue 1 if they work hard. Due to the fact that there is not much competition for them in any case. It should be realized that the Champions League is very different from Ligue 1 because in any case both in terms of quality and competitiveness they are very different. Now with PSG's condition there is no doubt for them in Ligue 1 but the Champions League is a different story because this is where champions gather so it is quite natural that they have difficulties especially they are too happy in Ligue 1 so when they are in the Champions League they are a little different because of the ability of the club others are also very good. |

I think Arsenal can win both the Europa and Premier League all the need is more more good games and consistency. They maintained a good performance and stat in the premier league as well as Europa in the early games of the season. The remain the favourite to win the Europa but for the PL the will have to maintain the point difference the have over Manchester City because Pep is cooking up some new tactics to test them once the season resumes.
This can indeed still happen but in the current conditions winning the European league and EPL clearly requires a very big effort for them even though at the moment their consistency is still maintained but we also know that Arsenal sometimes change from time to time and cannot be predicted so this it can still happen but quite difficult in my opinion. |

Belgium are really in trouble now. Croatia got a solid win like 4-1 against Canada and have taken the lead. Belgium are one point behind them and Morocco both. In addition to that Belgium's last game is even the most difficult one in the group. It doesn't seem like Belgium can qualify for next round to me.
I don't know how Belgium can lose to Morocco. It was another big surprise in the World Cup. They actually have a great lineup but something is going wrong. We don't see the same productivity of Belgium team. They weren't having any difficulty in EURO tournaments against weaker teams. Somehow they can't show the same performance in the World Cup which is the most important tournament.
This is a little worrying for them because indeed with so many star players in their squad this is clearly unimaginable before. The comparison is very different because indeed in terms of individual quality they are really great but in terms of teamwork this is not as imagined. They made a lot of mistakes in teamwork and of course their midfield and defense weren't good enough especially when counter-attacked. |

I think Napoli should try to do better in the upcoming important matters after the World Cup. I think the matches against Juventus, Milan, and Inter are going to be very important for them. I believe looking at those matches we will be able to determine if they are actually going to play better after the World Cup or if are they going to choke again at an important time. I think this time they will actually be able to play well. They should learn enough from their previous seasons and now they should understand how to keep calm in these situations. In the end, I just cannot think that there will be throwing away that huge advantage that they have. They should be confident just knowing that they have a huge advantage coming after the break.
They have worked hard from the start of this season and their proof is now visible because indeed if I'm not wrong even a lot of people doubted Napoli when they sold some of their core players and now they have succeeded in making a better regeneration which indicates they have worked hard to this. I think they will still be the same if there are no significant changes in terms of players because if they still maintain the current scheme and players they will still be very strong. |

I'm pretty sure that if Bayern Munich are going to be buying players in the winter transfer window, they will still be looking for young talent that fits Bayern's style of play. after all, Bayern needs its new army to regenerate its players. Muller is old enough to always rely on, he is now 33 years old. maybe only 1 or 2 more seasons, he will play for Die Bayern.
It seems that rather than looking for Muller's position they are still interested in finding a player in the same position as Lewandowski and their options are still Kane and now maybe Thuram as another option. As for Muller's current position, there is Musiala who can always replace Muller well and he is still young so this can be a good asset for Bayern and I don't think they will be looking for a replacement in this position. 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. Actually this is quite reasonable, because apart from strengthening them in playing this also still applies to rotational players especially when we don't have many players when something is not wanted with a busy schedule such as injury problems and bans from playing we still have player options that rather because there are still substitutes that can be played differently when they are not many players. What's more, we know that Bayern is a club that is always busy with a busy schedule, so it's only natural that they continue to look for several players. |

Actually, for now, another pretty good thing for Napoli is that Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen, who are in good condition, are not there because obviously this can make at least the risk of fatigue and injury minimized for them and of course this is an advantage too, although there are indeed some opportunities for them leave but this is still just a rumour.
But on the other hand, of course, there will be some additional flying hours if players take part in the world cup.
In general, not so many Napoli players are in the world cup, so the potential for Napoli to continue to win in the second half of the season is clearly very wide open because Napoli can still formulate their best strategy to win games in the second half of the season. And also Napoli can improve their performances in the Champions League because the Napoli coach knows how the condition of their players is at the moment and also sees the opposing team's consistency starting to decline. In this world cup, only 5 players from Napoli left and that was Kim Min Jae (South Korea), Mathias Oliviera (Uruguay), Frank Anguissa (Cameroon), Piotr Zielinski (Poland) and Hirving Lozano (Mexico). and actually this is not much different from other big clubs like Inter who sent 6 players and Juventus with 5 players just like Napoli. This isn't really a big problem because this is indeed an advantage, especially with this, the rest breaks don't go more and more. |

Once again the real action has been seen in the second half of play. Messi really came out and rescue his team with a goal to his name and an assist no doubt he certainly the man of the match.
With this victory today Argentina will be relieved of the pressure of not advancing to the next stage. Messi will be looking to perform another wonders when he face his former club Barcelona striker ROBERT LEWANDOSKI in their last group stage match. A victory against the polish side will see them secure a place among the last 16 of the world cup.
This should naturally happen because with their current condition it would be very embarrassing and disappointing if they failed to bring points in this match, especially if you see that their condition did not get the same points as going home, fortunately they got points in this match. On the other hand it will be the decider at the end because of course at the moment our benchmark for these two teams is still Lewandowski and Messi. |
