Pogba is rumored to be ready for the 4th of January for the 1st game after the break of the World Cup.
Also Chiesa will be almost at his 100% for January.
Juventus will basically already signed 2 "new players" if nothing wrong happens in this month.
The old lady's have a very poor start this season in the Seria A, they lost enough points and inconsistent in their games. Juventus will come back in good shape after a long run with the absence of keyplayers in the team. Allegeri insearch for more backup players and the team will stand once again when Chiesa and Pogba will come back to Turin. The old lady's have suffer enough defeats this season with PSG humilating them in group stage and they found themselves in the europa league. It is hoped that the return of these players will make Juventus even better and return to the winning ways as they have shown in the last few weeks. They still have to adapt first, of course it won't be easy for them to reach their best game after the injuries they have experienced. I hope it doesn't take too long and they adapt quickly and find their best game again. After the World Cup we hope to see a great Juventus. They have good footballers in their team but injuries have affected the team. Hopefully Juventus will come back with full strength. |

For this match i didn't expect Qatar can able to win the match but they should try at least not lose so i might considering to pick draw option for this match
Qatar is the host and it's the opening match so I would probably avoid it, because it could be Qatar surprising even though a lot of people here are making the same prediction that the match will be a draw, but I think avoiding the home game in the opening event is something difficult guess what, wish you luck  I am avoiding that game for sure. I have heard some many news in the internet about that match. Qatar cannot spend those big big monies to host world cup and come and lose their first match and still Qatar does not have the ability to beat Ecuador. So I leave the match for peace to reign. Qatar play own venue, they will naturally have some advantages like as they will have favorable weather conditions and will have supporters on the ground. Because of all this, their motivation will increase a lot. But if you follow the players and the quality of the game, Ecuador is much better. And those who do well in the field do not need any more advantages. I deserve Ecuador is the winning team of today's match. Since Qatar is the host team, they will have an advantage in all aspects. Also, Qatar's players play good football, and since the game is being played at their home ground, they will take advantage of this opportunity. However, Ecuador is a good team and they will want the first match of the World Cup to start with their victory. |

India's performance really impressed the supporters today. Suryakumar Yadav is taking control of the match alone. His batting storm has left New Zealand in disarray. Not only in batting but also in bowling, Indians player try to keep New Zealand players under a lot of pressure from the beginning. When they made 16 in 4 overs with the loss of one wicket, I doubt that India would win today's match and that is happened at the end. Congratulations to the Indian team.
New Zealand have just one over left so the game will be over. But they scored only 126 runs, they can't do more than 130 today and they will lose to India by difference of huge amount of runs. At least they are going to lose by 60 runs. It was a great match and India played well today. Congratulations to India for a great game today They had nothing to do with the target of 192 runs. They were under pressure from the start and they also lost wickets. They tried to play a complete over towards the end but ultimately they failed there too. Such type of game is really rear especially New Zealand's environmental recognition. In the last World Cup, they performed brilliantly till the Semi final. They had to leave after losing to Pakistan in the semi final. What a great win India got. India has performed well. They scored great runs against the New Zealand bowling. But the reputation of India's bowling has to be improved. They have been able to beat the New Zealand batsmen brilliantly. |

PSG consistently gives at least one title a year - Champion of France. Plus, there is also the French Cup, so Messi can easily get titles that will allow him (if I'm not mistaken, he has very little left) to become the most titled player in the world. And in fact, PSG is now higher than the level of Messi, I would say that the club is pulling him and not vice versa. Leaving such a comfortable club to Barcelona in crisis or somewhere else is stupid. The question is whether PSG will be interested in continuing cooperation.
Although winning titles are good because it helps players have positive mood and Messi is not an exception, Messi actually aims at Champions League, not Ligue 1 or French Cup. He joined PSG after leaving Barcelona because he sees PSG are very strong and competitive for Champions League. Messi knows that at his old age, he is no longer able to be a hub of one team and in PSG, he will be shared a lot of pressure, responsibility by other star players. Therefore he will have great opportunity to have funny playing time and can contribute his best for PSG. I don't expect PSG's trio to fall apart very soon honestly. They are here for a purpose, to win the Champions League title. I still want to believe that PSG will win this title one way or another. I don't know if they can do it this season but hopefully they will. All the investments into the team shouldn't be for nothing. The Ligue 1 is already too easy for them and there isn't any surprise about their dominating the league. The fans want success in the Champions League as they have Mbappe, Messi and Neymar all here.
Why not soon as we saw Mbappe is not actually happy in PSG. He still really want to leave PSG and join Real Madrid. If not Real Madrid and La Liga, maybe he will consider to join Premier League. Generally Ligue 1 is smaller than La Liga and Premier League and Mbappe want to play in big one to increase his chance to win Ballon d'Or, not only Champions League. I don't expect Messi to leave at the end of the season unless he gets a reasonable offer from Barcelona again. But it doesn't seem likely considering Barcelona's financial condition now.
It will depend on what he will achieve in this World Cup with Argentina. If Messi wants to play at highest level, he will not leave PSG. If he does not want it, he might leave PSG and Europe to return to Argentina and Newell Old Boys. Whether Messi will leave PSG cannot be said yet. Because he is busy with the World Cup, his main goal now is the World Cup title. However, he will consider what is available after the World Cup. But I think it wouldn't hurt too much if he stays at PSG. |

Finally, the World Cup begins. I would normally play for the Ecuador win in the opening game, but I won't be betting on this game because of the rumors. Just in case. Normally, Qatar cannot win, but if the match-fixing rumors have the slightest effect on the match, I will not be comfortable. The interesting thing is that these teams met in a friendly match in 2018 and Qatar won that match. Of course, 4 years have passed since this match, the squads are not the same, the conditions are not the same, the importance of the match is not the same. Best to stay away from this game.
The World Cup is now in front of our eyes, and after some time we will see it. As this year's World Cup is going to be the best in history, all the teams will fight to win this title. Hopefully we will see a great tournament. |

Times have changed and this strategy has ceased to bear fruit. Or did Atlético just become bad at it? They have conceded a lot of goals in the last two seasons and their defense is far from perfect. Either way, they need to change. Almost any modern team knows how to play the bus when necessary, but being like Atlético the bus all the time and hoping that someday it will bring results again is irrelevant.
Since the last season, they have had problems in both defense and attacking. For Atletico Madrid under Simeone, it is strange to see they have weak defensive ability. It is not usually happen in the club after they started to get success with Diego Simeone many seasons ago. They did not have that problem even after a departure of Diego Godin who was a heart of their defense. I believe their defensive problems come from their system, from defenders to midfielders. It is not because any single player. In attacking, they had problems too as Griezman has never reclaimed his best performance like years ago. A transfer to Barcelona and a few failed seasons there take a lot from Griezman. Joao Felix is another disappointed case but other attacking players are responsible for their general bad attacking in this season too. Griezmann is undoubtedly a good player. However, he could not show his talent in Barcelona. Because he was not given a chance in every game. But Griezmann has done a great job at Atletico de Madrid, where he is getting the full opportunity. |

If Barcelona still doesn't make a bigger point gap with Real Madrid, then the top position currently occupied by Barcelona is still not safe because Barcelona still needs to beat Real Madrid this season if they want to get the La Liga title. Real Madrid is a team that is still very dangerous for all teams in La Liga including Barcelona, because if there are only two points between the two, it will be easier for Real Madrid to take the top spot again from Barcelona.
This means that Barcelona must always win and Real Madrid at least should lose once. This may be difficult to expect this result, but nothing is impossible. Sometimes, real Madrid performs quite surprisingly when fighting with certain clubs, sometimes they give surprising result such as draws. Well,hopefully this will not happen. Both Barcelona and Real Madrid should not be drawn or lost to make thier position keeps safe and will not be takne over again. I personally really like Real Madird. But, I can't deny that Barcelona will always be a difficult opponent, moorever they aplay much better after failed in the UCL. We have to admit it was an unlucky UCL adventure for Barcelona. We must not forget that they are ahead of Real Madrid in La Liga. Real Madrid are surprisingly losing some points, but Barcelona seems to have held on better. Even though I like Real Madrid's squad quality more, I want Barcelona to win. I've been a fan of them since the time of Ronaldinho. If Barcelona want to do well in the Champions League, they need to strengthen their squad. Because almost all the teams in the Champions League are very strong, the players of the teams are very fast. Barcelona need to add some more good players to their squad if they want to do well next season. |

India vs New Zealand in 2nd T20I. New Zealand won the toss and elected to bowl first. Currently, the New Zealand team is the best pace bowling in the world. I think New Zealand bowlers will be able to stop Indian batsmen very easily. If New Zealand can perform well bowling in today's match. Then New Zealand can definitely win the match. Let's see how strong the bowlers of the New Zealand team can perform in bowling
I am sure India will win. Because New Zealand has lost 6 wickets so far. 80+ runs needed in less than 20 balls. I think New Zealand will never win this match. India will avenge the semi-final in style today. |

The World Cup games finally start today... I think there will be a lot of interesting matches and I hope there won't be many boring ones... In the opening match I don't know who can win, the situation is not clear... On the one hand Ecuador got to World Cup from the fourth place, losing only to Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay... On the other hand Qatar has had no problems at all in qualifying... I'm going to guess that Ecuador will win...
Finally few hours left for the start of the World Cup. Everyone is very interested in this World Cup, hoping for their favorite team. However, football lovers around the world are divided over Argentina and Brazil. Hopefully we will see a great World Cup. |

India VS New Zealand
India and New Zealand are facing each other again tomorrow. This is the second match of the series. There are various criticisms around this match in the cricket world. There are some experienced players are eliminated, will India finally be able to pull off a win or wait for the third match with a big defeat? It is not possible to select either good or bad until a match is happened tomorrow. New Zealand have been playing quite well in recent times so the matches will definitely be competitive.
I will put India ahead in the match between India and New Zealand. Because they were defeated in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup. Due to which India has some regrets. But New Zealand cannot be left behind. They also play quite good cricket. |

Barcelona should be patient and work with what they have, they are not in the best place financially to be making big signings. I think Barcelona already have a good team on their hands and Xavi just need a little more time to get to know these players and work with them. They just need to work together as a team and create that team spirit amongst themselves, I think that should be a solution to improving their performances in every game.
No, it can be seen from what already stated by xavi if barcelona may try to search some new players during the transfer season but with the note if it must be a free transfer players, it's caused by barcelona has a very bad financial at this moment. that being said that if barcelona needs to get more players again. They have been working together since the early season and calling them to have good team work doesn't make sense. Barcelona needs only to make sure if it will able to fix some problems especially from its defenders. The defensive of barcelona is not strong like another big team. people talking about Barcelona getting more new players in their squad does not know the type of risk and the amount of risk that Barcelona took to get these current good players that we are seeing now. Barcelona amidst their financial problems have to sell some of their rites to get good players and with the mindset that they will do well to win either of the Champions League or the La Liga so that they can in nearby get out of their financial problems. I don't think that for now Barcelona has any purchasing power to get any more player In fact, there are many soccer fans in the world who are fans of Barcelona. They have seen Barcelona as a great team since childhood. But in front of the eyes saw the previous Barcelona disappear. So everyone wants Xavi to bring back Barcelona's performance anyway. |

To be honest, I also want to see Cristiano Ronaldo become world champion. He is a great football player and deserves the title of world champion. But it became known a few hours ago that Manchester United are exploring ways to terminate Ronaldo’s contract at the club without compensation. I think this incident will have a negative impact on Cristiano. Or vice versa anger and motivate him.
I doubt if the contract termination was going to have any huge difference in his career and personal life, Cristiano Ronaldo should be expectant of all of this actions from Manchester United even before he planned going live to say all he said about the player's, Coach and the Glazers. At times you need to fall before you rise, I'm fully supporting Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo to win the FIFA World Cup, the break out with Manchester United and contract termination without compensation is bullshit, ( Joking ) I hope he wins the World Cup, retire completely, comes back to buy Manchester United and then improve the club the way he wants ? I'm just a big dreamer exaggerating. Some four years back, it was all bout Paul Pogba at Manchester United, broke out with Jose Mourinho who referred to him as a virus. Paul Pogba went ahead to win the FIFA World Cup for France/ French National Team. If people don't like the fact that Ronaldo said his mind, they should kindly ignore, too much of the HULLABALOOActually football world cup is a dream for all the players. The lives of those who possess this World Cup become blessed. Similarly, this year's World Cup has created interest among all the players, among whom we can think of Messi, Neymar, Cristiano. I hope that this year's World Cup should be won by a worthy team. |

Even I have to say they have improved since Potter's arrival, but maybe you should ignore the results of his last 5 matches. The fact Potter managed to get Chelsea out of the Champions League group stage should be the reason why Chelsea have improved. Even so, Chelsea has only played 14 matches in the Premier League, it will soon improve even better in the second half of this season.
To be honest i have never really heard of Potter before he became the coach of FC Chelsea. Looking at the results i would say that his work so far is not really that successful. I think that Chelsea made a huge mistake by firing Thomas Tuchel as their coach. I mean he became coach of FC Chelsea when they were in a really terrible state and after he came he not only made them successful in the Premier League again he even won the Champions League with them, which was an exceptional performance as a coach. I think Tuchel is one of the top 5 football coaches in the world right now. The only thing is that he seems to be kinda complicated to handle sometimes for the club officials. Sacking the Tuchel was surely the worst decision by Chelsea new management because as he was doing things these were going to have good results in long run but a mistake change all development and after Graham Potter arrival few good results highlighted by media as it's going to be the best change but now after just few weeks Chelsea is eight in Premier League table and the second-worst team in form for last few matches as having three loses and two draws which are clearly giving all report about and their chances for qualifying again into Champions League in presence of tough challengers which are at their best. Tottenham which is at fourth having eight points difference which is not allowing them to have any positive feeling about going into top four with currently New Castle United and Arsenal are having amazing run and good challenge for Manchester City which is currently defending their title. Manchester City is still a worthy contender to win the Champions League. They have a great playing XI. Besides, the rest of the extra players in the team also play great football. That's why Manchester City never had a problem with players. |

When it comes to the Dortmund - Chelsea matchup I can say that Chelsea is clearly the favourite side to advance.
Regardless of the leagues they are both playing in, Chelsea is a much better team than Dortmund this season. Chelsea has demonstrated superior ability in the Champions League group stage match by finishing first in the table above what the Dortmund team demonstrated in their own group stage matches. After the World Cup, I believe this is a straightforward pathway for them to reach the quarterfinals. I don't think it will be an easy game for them recently their performance and results droped drastically and they have been losing in the premiere league, true dortmund also lost but i think this game could go either way its one of the toughest to predict in my opinion. In fact, with the current performance, it is not worth thinking about the status of the game in February. Because many changes can be observed in many players during this World Cup. Also many players may get injured. In view of which it is difficult to predict the match between Dortmund and Chelsea. |

The first T20 match between India and New Zealand has been abandoned due to rain. This match was telecast live from New Zealand's Sky Stadium.
Earlier head to head India and New Zealand faced each other twenty times in total in which New Zealand won in total ten times, India won in 9 matches. Only one remaining match result is void. However, New Zealand is much stronger at home.
So only two matches left in this series and hopefully those two should not get abandoned by rain. I am sure many Indian fans wanted to see the considerably new team in action. I was eager to know which two batters were supposed to open the batting in today's match but everything got shattered due to the rain. Generally Indian cricket fans have a distinct attraction towards cricket, they love cricket with their heart. When the Indian team fails in any big target especially in semi-final or final, cricket lovers suffer more than the players. Anyway, I hope that the next two matches are not abandoned due to rain. However, New Zealand receives a lot of rain during this season. So it would not be unusual for a match in New Zealand to be abandoned due to rain. It's true, when India played in the last semi-final, the ticket price for the World Cup final was around $300. But when India loses in the semi-final, the value of each ticket drops drastically. The price of each ticket then drops to $75. Which is not only the defeat of India, but also the spectators and also the cricket organization. India is a cricket loving country. Cricket is in the blood of the people of this country. Today's match has been abandoned so many people are regretted. Since there is no human control here, it is only logical to prepare for the next match. India and Pakistan are cricket crazy countries they live and love cricket and there team so that's why when their team wins they celebrate with whole heart and when they lose they get hurt that's natural. Alot of cricket fans would be waiting for today's match but that's abandoned due to rain. Let's wait for the next ones hopefully they'll be played . Yeh India and Pakistan are one of those countries which love cricket more than a girlfriend 😜 Cricket is everything for them and rivalry between them are at another level , some people has taught that ashes is better but i am totally against him because in this rivalry new young shining stars born and many legends got fired from team , you can imagine the grace and love from the people of Ind Pak that final of ICC t20 World 2020 got less viewership than India Pakistan match. You are right. The supporters of these two teams are crazy about cricket. The first reason is that these two teams are not suitable for any other sport, such as football. Since childhood, everyone has seen their country leading in cricket, so they are crazy fans of cricket. |

Marseille are definitely my favourite for the second position in the standings. For now Lens have the position but I don't expect them to be consistent until the end of the season. Marseille should be able to take advantage of having a better squad quality than them. They just had a bad time period for some weeks but things are better now. The recent two wins should give them a boost.
Maybe there is still no team that is able to fight with PSG for the title until the end. But at least there is a nice competition for the rest of the top positions.
The french league is quite unpredictable; from 2nd to 6th position; they usually swap the positions amongst their self until the final game week of the season. With the worldcup break and player fatigue; i think Marseille will have to put in more efforts to keep the second spot come end of the season Almost all leagues are now closed for the World Cup. This can change the performance of almost all team players. Maybe someone will do great and someone will not be able to do well. We will see the new performance of the clubs after the World Cup. |

The main goal of the big clubs is their league title and the Champions League. But this season is a little different. Many big clubs are now performing in Europe leagues. But still the main sign of every team is its own league title. Barcelona and Arsenal will be looking to secure their league title. And then they will want to win the Europa League title. But as a common spectator we would definitely like to enjoy a competitive league.
It is certain that this season's European League will run very competitively because there are many big teams in the Europa League this season after several of them failed to perform better in the Champions League. And for Arsenal and Barcelona I see that both of them still have to fight harder to get their own league title, as well as the Europa League title which will look fierce after the Qatar world cup. Looking at Barcelona's good situation, Arsenal are not in too bad of a situation, both teams are in good form. Many of the players from both the teams will be playing in the World Cup which may change the performance later on. |

Real madrid has started to find a backup for him. He may retire in real madrid but we didn't know when. the problem is his age become even closer to the 40 years old. that means his stamina will not be so strong like when he was still around 30's. i hope that osimhen would be agreed with the offer from real madrid. madrid is the best team in the world but since world cup will be starting very soon and so many players from the various team will take the rest from playing with their club. benzema must also play for french for the world cup
They should do, that position really needs to be occupied because I don't like the way Rodrigo was slipping out from that striker position during their match against Cadiz, he was later substituted by Ceballos and yet, I wasn't really satisfied as would have been if it was Benzema. To say that Benzema's absence from the squad had an effect on Vinicius, Cadiz gave him lots of pressure, man had to fight for himself and other players. I think Benzema made it clear already that he is not leaving Real Madrid, his transfer out of that team is not a discussion for Madrid and I will be happy if they successfully sign Osimhen back to Spain, the guy is representing Seria A, just look at the gap points Napoli has given to other teams on their table but what I fear is that Napoli wouldn't sell that guy for a smaller amount of money, Real Madrid would have to break the bank to get him over to Laliga. Benzema has reached a contract agreement a few months ago if I'm not mistaken even though it's only a short-term contract considering his age he may in this case be extended one year of service until 2024. They knew each other well enough and it didn't take long to extend this player's contract so he certainly did. But still, even if Benzema is still there, Madrid must look for other alternatives because relying too much on Benzema in attack is not too good for their survival in the future. I personally think Benzema is a very necessary player for Real Madrid. He has a big role in this club. If Benzema leaves the Real Madrid team, I think this team will have a bit of a poor performance. Real Madrid will never get a striker like Benzema. |

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. These teams play very well indeed, they undoubtedly have many world class players in their squad. Coaches also play one of the biggest roles in the team, whose tireless efforts make the teams successful. |

Paris Saint-Germain team closed out 2022 successfully by beating Auxerre by a wide margin. A goal was scored by Mbappe, and he scored 19 goals this season. PSG's first goal is scored by Mbappe thanks to Messi's brilliant pass over the top of the defence. In the back, Messi celebrates his pre-assist with Nuno while Mbappe celebrates his goal with Nuno. I feel nostalgic watching that footage. Messi was unlucky not to score today. It's great to know they won't have any injuries, and heading into the Qatar World Cup.
PSG is undoubtedly a good football team. They have great players in their team. Who are playing a huge role in the team's various activities and victory. Got one of the best players in the team, Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. There is a lot of bonding between the three of them in their game now, so they can do a lot better. |
