Yes, with Juventus who are again experiencing illegal practices, of course Napoli will really deserve to win the title this season. Even though before the issue of Juventus, I was also very sure that Juventus still had a chance to be able to compete with Napoli, even though indeed, this wide enough point gap was like something difficult to take over from Napoli.
But considering that there are still many matches to be played and changes that might occur after this long break, of course their consistency will be a big consideration.

But if Juventus are really proven to have made a mistake later and get punished, then I really believe Napoli will be able to maintain their top position in the Serie A standings until the end.
Because in my opinion, even though there are still teams like Milan and Inter, I personally am not so sure about these two teams to be able to take the top spot in the standings. Therefore, this season Napoli deserves to win the title, because from previous seasons Napoli has often been a team that has entered the title race so this season will be a good season for Napoli.

The transfer window will just open in January, but yes, preparations for getting new players, of course, they have to consider it from now on in order to get targeted players without strong competition from other big clubs. However, some of Real Madrid's main players should have been replaced by younger players, because it would be bad if they only started looking for new players when so many key players were injured.
I don't know what kind of player is good to replace Benzema, but at least they also have certain assessments of players who have great potential in the future to be recruited.

Indeed, so far there has not been a player worthy of being matched with the quality of Benzema, but if Real Madrid get a player with great potential in the future. So of course, over time the player will be able to adapt to the team and will slowly find his best form at Real Madrid.
So, everything really needs a process and it's not about getting new players who have the same quality as Banzema, because Benzema himself doesn't quickly become great and at least there will always be a process that must be gone through with the many minutes played given.

Yes, on paper the favorite team will at least be safe but in reality, when the unseeded teams play the decisive match, at least they will also provide strong resistance. Say like Japan and South Korea, basically these two teams in the last match really weren't considered to win, but even so, at least there were still considerations about a draw.
But what happened was that Japan and South Korea actually won and made them qualify for the next round, especially about Japan who thought Japan would win Group E above Spain and Germany.

So, even though for example Brazil will only play against South Korea in the knockout round, at this moment I think Brazil is still not completely safe. Because it is possible that South Korea can still play well and be able to give another surprise at this World Cup and because of that, there is still no team in a safe position in this competition.
Also regarding, Ghana who previously played well and Uruguay did not play well, but in the last match their performance was something like the other way around even though both failed to qualify. But at least this also proves that it is difficult to keep these favorite teams safe with the opponents they will face.

The case of Hazard and Bale was something different because if I'm not mistaken Real Madrid paid dearly for them, apparently by breaking the record for the most expensive transfer at the time. But for Bruno Fernandes if there are no high demands like what happened with Hazard and Bale, I think Bruno Fernandes will still be fine.
Also, comparing Hazard and Bale, basically Bale was still a player that the team could rely on at that time, unlike Hazard, who of course was a player with the most unlucky signings for Real Madrid.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with Bruno Fernandes choosing to stay at Manchester United, but if Bruno Fernandes' ambition is to win many titles then it would be more appropriate to join Real Madrid.
But if Bruno Fernandes really wants to lead Manchester United to rise and win the title, then of course it will be a great dedication from the player to the team.

---

After all, De Gea is no longer young and also, as far as I know De Gea is the highest paid player at Manchester United or maybe that high salary has been broken by Ronaldo, maybe.
I don't know for sure, but as far as I know that at that time De Gea was very close to joining Real Madrid, but because De Gea got a new contract and a high salary increase, De Gea chose to stay at Manchester United.

I am worried that this will also happen to Bruno Fernandes but yes, with that in mind I am also not sure that De Gea will get a new contract or maybe there will be other teams outside the Premier League who will sign De Gea, there are still many possibilities that could happen.

Even though before this match started or before the match between Ghana v Uruguay started, in fact Uruguay was the only team that didn't have a goal from all the matches that had been played. But in this last match Uruguay even managed to score two goals in the first half, and it looks like Uruguay will win at half time. It was quite surprising, I think, because with the two results that were not optimal in the previous match, it made me doubt Uruguay because maybe Ghana would be able to maintain their advantage.
But what happened was that Ghana didn't seem to be able to make many efforts to maintain their advantage at this moment, and of course with a 2-0 defeat in the first half it would seem that Ghana had lost its chance to qualify.

But if Andre Ayew had scored earlier, through a penalty, then maybe it would have been a different result.
But because at this moment Uruguay can score first and is also superior in statistics, then of course Uruguay has a better chance of winning. With this victory, it is certain that Uruguay will be the runner up, very unlucky for Ghana who already had a very good chance to qualify but was finally thwarted in this last match.

One Japan goal was very controversial for me, even though there are rules about the decision but I think it was clear it was an out ball. Even though the result can no longer be changed, I still can't accept the referee's decision because if this match ends in a draw then Germany will be the runner-up because of the goal advantage. Difficult to accept because this is a big tournament which of course must have a fair decision, even though there is already a VAR system but this decision is still a controversial decision.
I just can't accept this decision that I think is unfair, even though I'm also not a fanatical supporter and am more neutral.

But yes, with this controversial decision, in my opinion, becoming a tournament may not be interesting, because after all, a fairer decision will certainly make this big tournament look cleaner and healthier.
For the remaining matches of the next two groups, I don't think they will be too competitive, because I think teams that still have a chance to qualify, such as Uruguay and Serbia, will not be able to do much. Because Uruguay and Serbia will play against teams that will certainly be able to maintain their position as group runners-up, because Switzerland and Ghana are clearly better at this moment.

Yes, it feels strange to say that Barcelona and Manchester United are title candidates, because even one of them will be eliminated quickly in this round. Unless we say one of them then it is more acceptable, as many people predict also about Barcelona possibly beating Manchester United.
Because indeed, Arsenal and Barcelona this season are very good in the local league, so good results there will certainly have an impact on their assessment in the Europa League as well.

About Juventus, I think it's still a big question mark, because the rumors circulating about Juventus are in a problem that cannot be taken lightly. Because if indeed Juventus is proven to have carried out illegal practices, then maybe it will also have a negative impact on its position in Serie A and also in the European League, of course.
Even if Juventus don't have problems like this or with this currently circulating case, I'm also pretty sure Juventus will be able to become a strong team in the hunt for the title in the Europa League this season.
But unfortunately, the increase in Juventus' performance will only be in vain if Juventus get punished because of the existing case. But I still hope that Juventus will still be okay with not being proven guilty and that way, the competition will be more interesting.

It would be a shame if Bruno Fernandes did not accept Real Madrid's offer, because at the age of Bruno Fernandes, who is already 28 years old, Bruno Fernandes should have had a greater chance of getting high achievements at Real Madrid. Considering the reasons for replacing Modric, it makes a lot of sense and Bruno Fernandes wouldn't just be on the bench if the reason was indeed to replace Modric.
Anyway, this is a very good offer and there probably won't be another good offer like this, because it seems very few players turn down Real Madrid's offers. Unless it's a case like Mbappe who earned a lot of money at PSG but about Bruno Fernandes, I'm not sure Manchester United will make a big effort for Bruno Fernandes by spending a lot of money.

If Bruno Fernandes chooses to stay at Manchester United until his contract expires in 2026, then as he continues to grow older it will become increasingly difficult to get a good offer like this later.
Maybe I was a little surprised if Bruno Fernandes really refused this offer, because I also think that staying at Manchester United was not the right choice. Because if Bruno Fernandes really has the desire to be able to win titles then it will still be difficult if he is still playing at Manchester United, unless there is a big salary increase then maybe the case will be the same as that of David de Gea.

Yes, it would be a shame if some of Napoli's main players chose to leave in the January transfer window. If an offer comes from a big club with several attractive bonuses, then it is very likely that Napoli's main player will accept the offer. But maybe the Napoli board or coach will block this by making new contracts or new bonuses for players who have contributed greatly to good performance for Napoli this season.
At least I hope that there won't be many changes in the Napoli squad after this long break, the point is that Napoli's main players now at least can choose to stay to finish this good season with Napoli.

But apart from the concerns about an overhaul in the main line-up in the Napoli squad, I personally still don't believe Napoli will be a team to challenge for the Champions League title this season.
Because even though Napoli has had good results so far, I still doubt Napoli's consistency for the upcoming matches. Moreover, the issue of major players who might leave, at least this factor will make Napoli's performance decrease as well.

The previous prediction might not come true but in reality it can happen, the prediction about Japan to win actually happened and basically it might be a result that requires a miracle because Spain at this moment is also not bad. Even if Spain can beat Japan and maybe also with a draw, at least Germany still has hope.
But yes, this is what happened and betting on Japan's victory is definitely in the minority, and congrats to Japan and those who bet on Japan because of course it takes courage.

Germany and Belgium are teams that have a lot of great players in their squads, but they could not qualify for the next round because they were eliminated in the group stage. Regarding Wales and Denmark it might still be a natural result for them to be eliminated because their squad is also not full of star players, but for Germany and Belgium their elimination in the group stage may be an unacceptable result considering the quality of their squad.
The last team with a star player in their squad to be knocked out will probably be Uruguay, because Uruguay will be play against Ghana and I think at the moment Ghana is having a better performance than Uruguay.

They are professional teams and of course it will be easy for them to recover from the pain of having been rejected before, so it is still very possible for Mbappe to leave PSG whether it be Real Madrid or another team at any time. Because now rich teams can buy players they like, regardless of the contracts that are still in their old clubs because rich teams can pay for it.
There are many other teams that are richer than PSG, so it is very possible for other rich teams that exist to be able to pay Mbappe more than what he received at PSG.

The problem of money in this era is no longer a problem for big teams, because if they want to achieve many achievements and the players they recruit have the same target. Then of course they will be able to work together well, and I personally have no doubts about that.
About selfishness or arrogance, I think all players also have this factor. But indeed, other players have different levels of selfishness and arrogance because maybe they are also aware of the abilities they have. But for Mbappe with great potential in him, it is only natural that Mbappe has higher selfishness.

Indeed, there is still a chance for Liverpool to be able to return to the top four, but with a note, the team above them has also experienced a decline in performance. So this is indeed something that is difficult and I say there is a chance but in reality it is difficult, because in reality every team will experience ups and downs at any time.
So yes, if when Liverpool can consistently win and at the same time the team above it loses points more often, then this factor will also make Liverpool's position rise again.

At least that is if I only consider "in football anything can happen", but if I accept reality then at least I will also say this season will probably be a bad season for Liverpool and also Chelsea.
Because with this wide enough point difference, at least it is difficult for Liverpool to be able to return to the top four, and only a miracle can bring it back to the top four.

it would be very worrying if Osimhen would really leave Napoli but I think, if Osimhen leaves then surely Napoli will recruit other talented players. So even if Osimhen leaves, at least Napoli still has other player options but for some reason, I personally don't believe Osimhen will accept the offers in the transfer window later.
Because after all, after all this season is a good season for Osimhen to finish the season in Serie A, because Osimhen is also very likely to get the award as top scorer this season in Serie A.

Also, at the age of 23, at least it wouldn't hurt for Osimhen to stay at Napoli for at least one more season. Because as a player who has a big contribution to the team and will probably give the Serie A title this season, Osimhen has the right to get a better place in this Napoli team and of course with a salary increase.
But if Napoli can't comply with his demands then yes, it would be better for Osimhen to leave. But to play in a new team at least Osimhen has to work even harder, because adapting to a new team is not as easy as one might imagine and does not guarantee to get the same performance.

Basically winning titles can also be obtained when the team has a high level of luck, if you remember about Leicester it was a fast process for Leicester to win the Premier League title. How could it not be, Leicester were able to win the title at that time, in fact, it was the second season Leicester were playing in the English Premier League.
In fact, in his first season Leicester played in the English Premier League but Leicester could only end the season and finished 14th in the final standings in the 2015 season, and in the 2016 season Leicester became the team that won the title.

It was a fast process for Leicester to win the title, at least this achievement had a high luck factor because at the same time the top teams were experiencing a decline in performance at that time.
So, if we consider Tottenham so far when handled by Conte, basically Tottenham has experienced an increase in performance. But unfortunately, at the same time there are still teams that are better at maintaining performance, this will still make it difficult for Tottenham to win the title.

Also, when several big teams like Liverpool and Chelsea are experiencing a decline, it should be a good opportunity for Tottenham to get a better position.
But again and again, there are teams that were not even considered to be able to reach the top four quickly, but the reality is that Tottenham can easily be overtaken by Newcastle and this also makes Tottenham's chances of winning the title even lower.

Croatia v Belgium is a difficult match to predict which team will win, because even though Croatia only needs a draw it seems that it is not enough. Because after all, of course, Belgium will also put out all its capabilities, because there is no other way for Belgium if it wants to qualify, it is mandatory for Belgium to win.
This is difficult because there is Morocco in the top two which of course, Morocco has a very big chance to win in this last match against Canada. Because in fact, Morocco has so far not conceded at all which proves that Morocco is indeed good in defense.
But for Canada at this moment they are a very weak team, so I personally don't doubt Morocco can beat Canada.

Also about group E where Germany is the only team that has not won in this group, but Germany still has a chance to qualify. But with a note, Spain had to beat Japan and Germany beat Costa Rica, so that was enough for Germany to be the runner-up.
But if, for example, Japan is able to hold Spain to a draw and Germany can win with a big score, then it is likely that Germany will still qualify because it is superior in the number of goals if at this moment Germany can beat Costa Rica with a big score of at least two goals.

There have been lots of experiments with many options to get big odds with multi bets, in the end I only get wins by just using this simple option. Maybe it's just luck or whatever, but to be honest betting on basketball especially in the NBA is something that is more fun for me too.
Every day I try it and only win a few times at low odds, but always with the multi bet option and it's like a daily routine because it's so much fun.

Because here there is no team that continues to dominate every season, it could be a team that was very good in the previous season but in the new season they have very bad results.
It's factors like this that keep competition interesting and even though these are also the odds which in my opinion are still relatively low, I still feel good about continuing to bet on NBA matches.

Basically when Union Berlin first returned to being a promoted team in the Budesliga exactly three seasons ago, Union Berlin was able to finish in the final standings in the middle of the standings and in 11th place to be precise. After that, for the following season Union Berlin was able to finish in the final Bundesliga standings in 7th place and then, last season Union Berlin ended in 5th place.
Therefore, Union Berlin this season can play in the European League and what's more, Union Berlin has qualified for the play-off round and will play against Ajax.

With such a record, of course Union Berlin is a team that continues to experience good improvements in the Bundesliga from season to season, so this season Union Berlin will still have the chance to end the season in fifth place again.
If later Union Berlin fails to finish in fifth place, but I'm pretty sure at least Union Berlin will still be able to end the season by getting a European ticket. Because the sixth position will still get a ticket to be able to play in the Europa Conference League next season.
Even though it's like experiencing a decline but still, Union Berlin can still be consistent at least to be able to finish in the European zone in the final standings and that's still good for Union Berlin.

It's a shame that Saudi Arabia didn't play too well in their last match, because if Saudi Arabia could win then of course Saudi Arabia would be the team that also qualified with Argentina. With this defeat, even though Poland lost by Agentina with a score of 2-0, it still made Poland runner-up in Group C.
But yes, if for example Mexico can win by 3-0, then Mexico will be the runner-up, but yes this is the end result and we have to accept it.

I just didn't expect Saudi Arabia to play with such bad statistics, because with Saudi Arabia being able to beat Argentina in the first match, at least that could be a big motivation for Saudi Arabia to be able to win in the last match against Mexico.
But for the statistical records of Poland v Argentina, I don't think it's anything surprising because after all, before that I was very sure that Poland really had no chance of winning and tended to just hang on and it happened.

Even though this was a very good opportunity and moment for Mbappe to be able to add to his goal if France put the main squad in from the start, Mbappe just played in the 63rd minute after Tunisia scored a goal. With Mbappe playing, of course France doesn't want to lose and maybe, previously Deschamps believed that by playing a second-tier player the result might be a draw.
But what happened was that this was a consolation victory for Tunisia, but the defeat still didn't make France's position taken over and France still won Group D.

But to be honest, this is indeed a disappointing result because I also bet on a French win.
Before that I didn't think France would only play with second-tier players, and I thought France would still play as usual with its best squad. Considering that at least they also have to give Mbappe the opportunity to add goals and of course, to make Mbappe's goals stronger as the top scorer.
But sadly, my estimate was wrong and I should be able to accept this result. But indeed, this method must be done at least to keep their main squad healthy and good for the next match.

If Mbappe is willing to accept Real Madrid's offer then it is no longer about money that is the main factor, but because of an achievement from the team's great achievements because at Real Madrid at least Mbappe has a better chance of winning many titles. Previously, Mbappe chose PSG and rejected Real Madrid's offer, obviously because of the big money he got, but as time goes on, at least Mbappe wants to achieve a lot, so Mbappe can't stay at PSG forever.
But yes, I think the chance for Mbappe to leave PSG is very low at the moment. But do not rule out the possibility that in the next few seasons, it is very possible for Mbappe to really leave PSG.

About Benzema, I think Benzema can be paired with anyone because Benzema is not a selfish player who scores goals.
With that style of play, of course, other players won't have a problem with Benzema. But unfortunately, Benzema is no longer young and this will at least make his recovery from injury last longer than normal recovery.
Also, if an old player is injured, then in the future this player will remain vulnerable to getting injured again and of course, this will be an obstacle for Benzema to be able to continue playing in every match later.
