The reason why some of the arsenal players didn't perform in the world cup is best known to them, because i don't think that it the club arsenal that obstruct them not to pertake in their various countries the way I'm seeing it. But i believe that since that so many of them didn't engage in this world cup they will perform well in their next match indecencies that they will undergoes many training's, i believe that we are expecting arsenal to perform well because of many of their players at home with them. what you said is true, the many players who did not join their team in the world cup is a big advantage because their team's performance will definitely improve when the league starts again. arsenal will definitely try to play consistently, if their performance decreases in the second half of the season then it is a problem that must be fixed quickly. This is an important point, no one can deny the very good performance of arsenal this year but the most important question is if they will be able to keep the rythem till the end of tge season, city will keep chasing theme and surely they will not give up easily so arsenal need to continue in the same way if they want to get the EPL trophy It will be so sad after the world cup arsenal will not be able to perform in their normal way. If arsenal key players won't be performing in the world cup to avoid loosing quality after the world cup it will be good for arsenal. Saka who is a key player for arsenal but he played for England and scored 2 goals for England. |

Ecuadorian football had a great start to its World Cup. At least we should expect a winning mentality on the field from Qatar, even though we know it won't go anywhere. They're playing utterly meaningless football. Qatar will likely not win or draw any matches during this World Cup if they continue to play like they did against Ecuador. Neither Netherlands nor Senegal have yet played Qatar. To get better results in their upcoming matches, Qatar's manager needs to work on his strikers' ability to work together.
We all expected Ecuador to win the match and the country won it, the South American countries are just good and Ecuador can not be compared with Qatar at all, if they play again and again, Ecuador would win over and over, they have better players with more strength and accuracies. About Qatar, being with other countries like Netherlands would make it difficult, Senegal is the best in Africa now too, it would makes things not easy for Qatar too, I think Qatar should just have the fun of hosting the world cup and nothing more because they are going not far. I never expected Qatar to win the match because Qatar players are not too strong. Ecuador performance was very impressive with 2 goals without no stress, Qatar performance tells they can't be consistent in performance. |

Bayern Munich will have to score in the match against PSG in the Champions League because otherwise, it will be hard for them to win. As far as I think PSG is obviously going to score in that match just because of the attacking power that they have. And Bayern Munich cannot keep defending and defending. Eventually, they will leave gaps in the defense. So they better find a way to score.
Bayern Munich and PSG are one of the strong teams in the Champions league and the leading teams. I can't tell how the match will end because this two teams are good, but I know the match will be a tough game for Bayern Munich. |

When we talk about great players, Cristiano Ronaldo should also have become a professional player, but in the end he was not respected by Manchester United and a problem occurred which eventually made Ronaldo's career fall and be disrupted. lacking, they must remain humble and have a good attitude with teammates and coaches. CR7 feels that he is a star, and star players must be respected by management and coaches, he made a big mistake I never hated CR7, I respected him but he made bad behavior so he was not appreciated by the team. if in the next season CR7 does not move to another club then he is aware of his mistakes so far He feels because he's a great player then he's more important and bigger than the club, that's is why he can leave the pitch whenever he feels like. Ronaldo feels coming to Manchester united he is doing the club more favour. He went to extreme, I guess he should regretting it by now. |

in the fifa ranking Iran is ranked 20th and England is ranked 5th so it doesn't mean that Iran has a team that can be underestimated, even though England can win this match easily but England shouldn't underestimate Iran, I already bet for England a few days ago and I hope England can win the match even though it only won by a narrow 1 - 0
England had better squad than Iran, England is a team that their performance is always impressive . England have better chances of winning the game. England is among the strong teams we have in the FIFA in the world cup. |

I really love African teams in a world Cup tournaments but they are not encouraging me to watch them again. As you mentioned the high skillful players in Ivory Coast, I also remember the ones in Nigeria in those days, players like Austin Jay-Jay O. Kanu W. etc, I don't think there are still skillful players that can replace these players in this new generation. Probably they might be but the corruption in the African football official is very high that might not bring the skillful players to come on board. Instead nepotism and favoritism is eating deeply into the sport ministries in the continent.
Those days they get players by merit, Real talent but this time it no longer like that. Most of the players we have is based on connections. Those days their were no much corruption that's is why every players playing those days are good. The players we have now sometimes I do ask myself if it is the best we can get . |

Napoli's upcoming opponents are tough. If Napoli manages to win against this formidable opponent after a long break, I would say there is no team more deserving than Napoli to win the Serie A title this season. Napoli seems to be the favorite for the title so far. But there is still a long journey to win the title. And if they want to win the title, they have to maintain consistency in all the upcoming matches. As the teams are getting a long break. So it is not possible to predict how they will perform after the break.
It is consistency that has made Napoli to get the point they have. If at all their are tough teams that can be a problem to Napoli it won't be hidden that those tough team would have been struggling with Napoli before now. Napoli has proved that they can continue to be consistent in this season. |

Manchester City will face Leipzig in this round of 16. Manchester City must not underestimate RB Leipzig in the slightest, if they do RB Leipzig will give a big surprise in this match. Manchester City are favorites in this match, of course they will get it because of their impressive performances in recent years both at domestic level and at Champions League level.
RB Leipzig itself did not come to lose just like that, they will definitely be more motivated to beat Manchester City in this round to go further in the Champions League this season. They must be wary of Manchester City's tall striker.
I don't see Leipzig as a weak team and I don't think Manchester City will be too loosed to allow leipzig to win the game. Manchester City is one of toughest team that is very difficult for a club to defeat. I'm sure Manchester City will win Leipzig no matter how tough they play their game. |

Xavi will need to try more options and know the best tactics for him. He will need time for this experiment just as Potter is experimenting with Chelsea. But after a few match he will discover the best method to beat big clubs. He is not doing bad and we cannot say that he is doing well because champions league is the best test of performance for big clubs.
That the best thing should have done. He needs to try other strategies to see if it can make the players in the team to be stronger more than the way they are. Barcelona are not in their best performance. |

Ronaldo is a great player and arguably the greatest of all time but his recent act of overzealousness and not playing the role of a role model makes me upset with Ronaldo.
even his behaviour during matches will make you think Ronaldo is acting like 18 years old player, he becomes angry easily and he nags at every failed opportunity offered, to be honest this is not the right life for Ronaldo to be leaving at his age and level of career.
Take a look at Messi in psg, the struggle has been between Mbappe and Neymar even Messi who is the greatest is not involved in their dragging.
Hahaha, I think I have to agree with you mate. There are many moments when Cristiano seems to be nothing like a role model for young players at Manchester United and a professional at his club. Do you remember when Ronaldo refused to play in the dying minutes of the match? Maybe he thinks he is the star and he is bigger than Manchester United. I don't know if it's become a habit or it's due to age (can't control emotions). On the other hand, Messi looks more relaxed even though there is an internal conflict between Mbappe and Neymar. Before now Ronaldo has been this desperate players, he is too desperate and striving to be the best players that's why whenever he miss any little opportunity he becomes furious and look for who to pour his anger on. I have always fancy and appreciate Ronaldo for is excellent talent but this time he allowed his anger and emotion to spoil things for him. |

in this year's World Cup I personally do not have any expectation from African countries, this is not the right time for African countries because many of the African countries that are familiar to my hearing did not go to the World Cup. I don't know many of them except for Cameroon and Ghana.
The one African country that would have had a good chance of going far in the World Cup is Senegal because they are the champions of Africa but since their star man is no longer with them I don't know how far they can go
I agree with you on this. I don't think the African countries that will be playing in the world cup in Qatar have what it takes to make it to the knockout stage. We have Cameroon, Ghana, Morocco, Tunisia, and Senegal in the world cup but the African Champions are expected to go far this time if not because of the injury case of their hitman Sadio Mane who everyone believes would have been a strong force in the team of Senegal. Well, I guess we should be hopeful because football is not by big names the players in Tunisia and Ghana are good players and their groups are difficult but I believe they will shock the world because they will come out from their groups to the next stage. Ghana players are better than the way they used to play. Many people don't have confidence in Ghana because of their record of football in the past. Ghana was underrated in the AFCON tournament, Ghana surprised many people for the fact that they were able to qualify in the AFCON game. This time in the FIFA World Cup game Ghana might break another record again. |

 ] Ronaldo has put himself in problem. The interview of Ronaldo might affect him and run is career down. I think Ronaldo went too far to say things that is not necessarily for anyone to hear. It is very bad to expose the home you belong no matter how bad it is. |

Earlier the season Tottenham were performing very well , I thought they can continue to perform impressive. This season is full of surprises . Fulham is another team that started very well but they later dropped in the quality in their performance. It is only arsenal that have not changed pattern in their game .

I have noticed that Napoli haven't played against Juventus yet.
Maybe Juventus can be the first team to finally end their unbeaten streak in the league so far. Or actually Inter could do the same as well because Napoli's next game is going to be an away one against Inter. Napoli are going to play against these big teams in three weeks. There is a long time to think about the probable result of course. But I believe already that one of these teams will beat Napoli.
I don't believe Juventus can beat Napoli. For long Napoli had been showing quality strength in their performance , Juventus just started to win their games of recent and we are not if they can continue to be a consistent. Napoli is unshakeable, no teams can stop Napoli. |

I think Brazil will win. Alternatively, some other team from South America such as Argentina could win as well.
It is possible any of this team to win the world cup. Argentina and Brazil stand the chance of winning the world cup. Brazil has a better squad that cam make them win the world cup. I will prefer a new team has not win before to win the cup. |

only two points separate Real Madrid from Barcelona, the latter certainly cannot be sure. I notice that they have the same goals scored but a big difference in the goals conceded. Maybe Carlo Ancellotti should work on that, yesterday he was a guest in an Italian program "Che tempo che fa" I hadn't seen him for a long time. For now am sure which of the team will win Laliga but as for the first and second position it will be a position that Barcelona and Real Madrid will be swapping from time to time. I guess the next match Real Madrid will play can bring them to the first position. Real Madrid and Barcelona looks dramatic 😄, difference of 2 point. |

what did I tell you? I told you that my beloved Juventus would have recovered when the injured would have returned luckily  I was right, now we are in third place The injury challenge of Juventus players was a big blow to Juventus, it deprived them from high points. I just hope Juventus have recovered from bad performance. I was going through Napoli sheets and I saw it is so clean. Napoli has not lost any game this season, they have played about two draws . It is sure that Napoli will win the league for the number of points they have achieved. |

Freiburg winning was very comfortable for them, getting to the net of Union Berlin it was very easy for them to push the ball into the net. Vincenzo Grifo scored wonderful hat-trick within 20 minutes of the game. Leipzig is behind Freiburg in the standings, let's see if Freiburg can maintain the second or Leipzig will take over and remain their for the season.
I don't know what happened to Union Berlin, after their defeat 5 weeks ago they continued to decline in terms of appearance. I think this has something to do with their mental unpreparedness when they lose. Freiburg's victory was very comfortable, their quick goal made them even more confident to finish the remaining time. Moreover, with the superior number of players it made it easier for them to maintain the advantage they got in the first half. I'm not surprised that Union Berlin lost this match. If you look at the standings, Freiburg are now in second place, very close to Bayern. They have lost only three games this season and won 9 games, which is very good for a team that finished the Bundesliga in 6th place last year. So after Union Berlin got the card early in the game, it was clear that Freiburg would not miss an opportunity to win. If Union Berlin continues to lose all their wins will count to nothing, just few games they lose right now they are in the 5th position all the way from 1st. The interesting thing about the Bundesliga league is that other teams are trying to come to the top, for Union Berlin to go back to its former position it won't be easy. |

Napoli have been beaten by Liverpool 2-0, only in Serie A Napoli have never lost, only Bayern Munich have not accepted defeat in the Champions League so far. UCL provides many unpredictable things, many good teams will surprise in the round of 16, although it cannot be predicted accurately, we think Manchester City, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Napoli have the same chance to advance to the next round.
Bayern Munich become the only one team unbeaten at Champion League and won 6 of 6 games, excellent performance from Bayern at Champion League because 100% winning although have in difficult group stage. Napoli almost have great achievement but last matchday beaten by Liverpool and still lead standing position have more goals. Have another team still unbeaten at Champion League from Manchester City, PSG and Benfica but not 100% winning ratio games with 4 win of 6 games and two draws. Based on drawing match on 16 round seems Napoli have easy opponent than Real Madrid face Liverpool and Bayern waiting for by PSG. Bayern Munich have played impressively in the Champions league since it started in the beginning of the season. Bayern Munich has never shown sign of weakness in performance in the Champions league. Bayern Munich or PSG have a chance in winning the league, but I'll prefer my favourite Bayern Munich. |
