Unfortunately, Diogo Jota had to be absent due to his injury. IMO, the overall depth of players that the Portugal squad has meets the standards to be a challenger in this championship. but unfortunately, Fernando Santos tends to use a 4-2-3-1 formation, where he only relies on a single striker up front. none other than Cristiano Ronaldo who became Target Man. in the League of Nations, Portugal did not have impressive results with the formation pattern of the strategy applied by Fernando Santos. even though Portugal have Benardo Silva, Rafael Leao, Bruno Fenandes, who can always be relied on to tear apart their opponent's defense.

on the other hand, as we know Ronaldo's performance is really far from what was expected. even this season with Manchester United, he was only able to contribute 1 goal in the premier league, 2 in the Europa League. so yes, as you said, the problem now is the starter used in the world cup later.

I totally understand your point, I agree that it is not easy for the Senegal squad to qualify even with Sadio Mane. even Ecuador cannot be underestimated by Senegal, they were able to hold Argentina 1-1, draw Brazil 1-1, overthrow Chile 0-2, and finish in the top four of the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualification.

however, if we refer to the ranking they have, on paper, Senegal and the Netherlands are the favorites who will qualify for the next round. although in fact, we do not know how the outcome will be.
So far, we are only talking based on available data and statistics. in the end, the real results will be known after this championship really starts.

speaking France vs Senegal at the 2002 world cup event, I remember very well at that time Senegal had the star name El-Hadji Diouf, Senegal won with a score of 0-1. in fact, the French squad is filled with many star players, one of which is David Trezeguet, Thierry Henry, Patrick Viera.
but what was interesting in the world cup was the home team, South Korea with all their controversies, overthrowing Italy, which at that time was a star-studded squad, there were Vieri, Del Viero and King Totti, plus midfielders and defenders who became legends.

Rodrygo is a winger, after missing Benzema through injury, Don Carlo tried to play Hazard as a centre-forward. the results were not satisfactory, in the end Ancelotti tried to rotate Rodrygo into a center forward. so far the results have been satisfactory considering he is a winger, he has also contributed four goals for Madrid in La Liga. he is still relatively young, so I think he still needs time to explore the talent he has.

As for Victor Osimhen, so far he has been linked with several big clubs. Reportedly, Manchester United are interested in bringing him to Old Trafford in the transfer window later. Likewise with Chelsea, since the rumors of Aubameyang going to PSG, Potter has been eyeing Osimhe in the transfer window later.

Osimhen is a pure center forward, so it's no wonder that Real Madrid will also be after him. however, if he had to play as a second-tier player just to replace the vacancy due to Benzema's injury. it seems, he will choose a club from the Premier League if he will leave Napoli.

If we look at the depth of the players, the pattern of play, the mentality of the players, the strategies of these two teams. obviously, Barcelona is more in favor. the schedule for this fight is still long, Erik Ten Hag has time to improve the potential and performance of his players.
this match will not be easy for the Red Devils, Barcelona are a strong team, especially if they field the starting line-up of main players, plus with players who have recovered from their injuries. Barcelona seems stronger than Manchester United, plus, these two teams have a history of twice in the champions league final that Barcelona won.

This match has received more attention from Ten Hag, because Manchester United cannot be said to be in its actual form, there are many things that need to be revised by Ten Hag, especially the front-line players who lack sharpness.
You can compare the two Man United vs Real Sociedad matches, how they had to go all out to win the match. So, Ten Hag has an extra job to bring Man United through to the next round.

For this season, it seems that it will be difficult for Real Madrid if the three veteran players have to miss out with various scenarios of not being able to play, whether it's injury, card accumulation, or whatever makes the three players unable to appear. I'm not sure, Madrid will not be able to qualify for the next phase, without the presence of these three players. however, this is just a scenario.

So far, with Benzema injured. El Real seemed to have lost the sharpness they had, in the end Dor Carlo experimented with making Rodrygo a center forward. the result is quite satisfactory even though it is not as sharp as Benzema. Modric's absence, during the Asasuna match, made El Real lose full points. the absence of Benzema and Kroos in the match vs Rayo, made them have to swallow their first defeat in La Liga. that way, these three players will still be needed by Real Madrid before the young players projected by Don Carlo reach their maximum level.


we know, that Madrid has a winning mentality and is again able to get out of pessimism that was initially not too superior. they will always be a team that their opponents fear later, including Liverpool who will meet in the round of 16 later. however, as we agreed. this season seems to be tough for Madrid to get the champions league title, PSG, City and even Bayern look much better in terms of the pattern of the game. yes, so have to just wait it out and see what scenario will happen.

Everyone has the same equality, as well as matters of privacy. there are many people who like things related to betting, in this context it is gambling. not infrequently they keep it a secret from the closest people, or to outside parties for various reasons.
but most commonly, to maintain the reputation they have.


Enjoying gambling activities is the right of everyone, some consider it a fun entertainment, some make it an escape from the problems they face, some make it a side income, it all comes back to each individual.
however for me. to be honest, anything that is related to hobbies is a personal thing, in this context it is a hobby of gambling.

I don't keep it a secret from anyone, especially my wife. so, I'm not obligated to give any explanation to other people as long as it doesn't harm them. meaning, you don't have to worry, if people know that you like to gamble. If you are a responsible person, you must ensure and manage finances properly and wisely, you must separate your basic needs and hobbies that you enjoy.

As we know, Don Carlo's coaching style is not so much tinkering with his strategy. In almost every game, Don Carlo doesn't change formations or rotations much if he doesn't really need to, unlike today's young coaches, who have a lot of philosophies.

however, Don Carlo has the charisma and leadership that makes the players mentally strong. that's why, Real Madrid won the title in the champions league last season. Carlo Ancelotti's coaching style is really needed at Real Madrid, as you said, controlling the game is necessary, and Madrid don't always control the game, especially in champions league games. however, the most important thing is how to lift the trophy.

and they can do it.

Without emotion, you and I would feel nothing. we will not feel, sensation. happy, sad, chasing defeat, very excited when getting a win, or whatever. So, it's normal when you experience, feel all emotions while doing a gambling session.
I think this is something that happens to everyone, including myself. however, I don't agree that that's the reason we can't stop gambling. because, emotions surround anything that concerns our lives.

I can stop gambling, if the free time I have is over. whether it was because of the work I had to do, or quitting because I lost a gambling session. apparently, gambling has become our style of entertainment here. you have to learn to deal with your emotions, you have to try to change your own mindset if you are always controlled by emotions, especially when you experience a big loss. I like to gamble, especially football betting. however, I must be responsible for managing my finances well and allocating a budget for a hobby that I enjoy, in this case gambling.

Although Sadio Mane is one of the most influential mascots of the Senegal squad. but that doesn't mean this team will be weak in terms of their attacking sharpness, even without Sadio Mane.

actually the Senegal squad has several other names although not very well known, Krepin Dieta, Monaco, Kieta Balde, Spartak Moscow, Bamba Dieng, Marseille, Ismaila Sarr, Watford, Habib Diallo, RC Strabourg, Demba Seck, Torino, Nicolas Jackson, Villareal. here's a list of names, of the strikers owned by the Senegal squad.

almost entirely, the players of the Senegal squad, playing in the european league competition, including their goalkeeper playing for Chelsea, Kalidou Koulibaly. as well as the midfielders that Senegal has, some playing in the Premier League and Ligue 1. so what do you think, the strength of Senegal in this Group A.

Even without Sadio Mane, I'm still optimistic that they will qualify for the next round with the Netherlands.

As I said in the previous post, that Leverkusen will beat the home team. After beating Union Berlin with a landslide score, Leverkusen will continue their victory when they play away to Koln. although actually Koln have a better record when they play matches at their own headquarters. but in the end, Koln was defeated in their own base. with these two results this victory, Leverkusen rose to rank 11 which was originally in the relegation zone. in this match, I won the bet to bet on Leverkusen.

Next, Leverkusen will play against Stuttgart at BayArena, their home base. Alonxo is targeting a win for the third time in a row, so their ranking will automatically rise and be in the safe zone. as for Stuttgart, they also need a win to secure their ranking from being in the relegation zone.
however In my estimation, Leverkusen will win this match.

The French squad is the most star-studded team, and there is nothing wrong with the names on the list. in the defense sector, filled with core players from their respective clubs and they are very reliable.

in midfield, there are many big names even though France had to lose Pogba and Kante because of the injuries they suffered. although, Tchouameni and Camavinga are young players, but they have been tested playing with their club. don't forget, their club is Real Madrid.
after all, Rabiot still exists, although its performance is sometimes unstable. in fact, Kingsley Coman was often played as a midfielder by Nagelsmann at Bayern Munich. So, don't doubt the potential and talent they have even though they are still very young.

Up front, we don't need to doubt the strikers that France has. with the depth they have, France deserves to be one of the strong challengers in this championship.
However, their performance in the Nations League was very poor. and I hope, in this Qatar world cup. Descamps was able to bring his troops to play at their best.

Of course, Marseille has just come off a bad trend. In their last 5 matches in all competitions, Marseille suffered 4 defeats and one draw. victory over Lyon, can be a motivation to lift their morale against Monaco later. these two teams have the same points, with 27 points from 14 matches in Ligue 1.

If we look at the statistics from the standings, these two teams have something in common. in 14 matches, they won 8 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. of course in this match, Monaco is more superior than Marseille. besides they played at their own base, Stade Louis II. Monaco is in a better form than Marseille. in their last 4 matches in all competitions, Monaco only got one draw and even then in the Europa League match.

however, if we refer to the odds held by Manaco and Marseille, Monaco's advantage is that they play at home at odds @2.26 while Marseille's odds are @3.00. my estimation in this match, Marseille will win this match.

So what do you think Don Carlo should have done, given the situation Real Madrid faced when Karim Benzema was sidelined through injury. that way, what the coach did was correct. remember the role of other players did not contribute too much, not much was expected from Hazard, Asensio, so Ancelotti experimented with rotating Rodrygo into a center forward who was actually a winger. however, he proved to be able to adapt quite well.


Well so in essence, it is consistency that determines it. remember, Rayo is not a team that is too weak, they also have a coach, strategy and how to counter every attack that is built by Real Madrid. In the end, Rayo was able to counterattack and win the match.


Yes that's correct. however, for now, Ancelotti can only make the most of the available players. on the other hand, the tactics and strategies implemented by coach Rayo went well, so that every attack that Real Madrid built could always be countered. but yes it seems, Real Madrid have been eyeing several players who are on their radar in the transfer window later. especially looking for players who are potential replacements for Karim Benzema later.

If we have to compare these two teams, and based on the analysis from my personal point of view. Manchester United's current pattern and game scheme, can't be said to be very good, they still have many shortcomings, that's why Manchester United has not been able to show their best performance. So, obviously Barcelona is better than Manchester United.

I admit, Manchester United has now made significant progress, Ten Hag's strategy and tactics are working as they should even though they are not optimal. we can learn it in the Europa League group match when United struggled to score against Omonia, and in the match against Chealsea in the premier league. actually they already have the game, it's just, they always struggle to score goals. this is the job for Ten Hag, to explore the potential of their front line players.

On the other hand, Barcelona have a better depth of players than Manchester United overall, they also have a very sharp striker.  however, if Xavi can maximize his players with the strategy he applies.I doubt that the Red Devils will be able to overthrow Barcelona in the playoffs later.

It's natural that we always have differences of opinion regarding the two teams that will fight in the round of 16 later. especially when it comes to the team that is always the favourite. but for sure, in the match later, both teams will play with their best and their respective qualities. these two teams, will play all out with all the abilities they have.

Liverpool and Real Madrid have a long history of meeting them in the champions league. however, in this season. everyone will agree that El Real has a higher probability than Liverpool. we can compare from the statistics of the two teams this season, Real Madrid is more consistent in both the domestic league and the champions league. plus, they have a winning mentality.

As for Liverpool, there have been a lot of problems that have happened to their team since the start of this season.  a lot of injured players, underperforming team performance. this match was not easy for Klopp, with a very unstable team performance. but Klopp still has time to improve the performance of his troops, to face the round of 16 match later.

We will never know, whether he is able to bring Manchester United to its glory. however, so far. IMO, Ten Hag is better than any of the previous coaches. I mean, after Sir Alex Ferguson left Old Trafford. although at the start of this season, the Red Devils had to stumble a few games. but as we have seen, gradually they are able to adapt to a better way. patterns, schemes, strategies, which are applied by Ten Hag. running as it should, although not really optimal.

Because after all, he still needs time for what he has planned in his project with Manchester United goes according to his expectations. besides that, Manchester United still needs new players, especially for the front lines and we will find out in the winter transfer window.

Overall the points you say are basically true. however, despite all that. the question is, can you be consistent with the points you say in this long list.  these points are the basic things to be applied to each individual, if you want to develop. however, to get to that point.
One needs practice, knowledge, guidance and experience. Patterns such as these examples can be applied from a young age.  you have to get used to it to that point. if you already have good management and are trained, especially regarding how to manage money properly and correctly. as you said in this thread, then, you should already be a rich person.


yes, that's what one should do if you want to invest. especially investing in new coins which are prone to big risks. at least, before someone starts investing. he must understand what he will do, he must learn things related to what he will invest.
Having basic knowledge is very important, rather than just being carried away by hype or market sentiment. someone needs learning, especially from people who are more competent.

First of all, I'd like to ask him what he wants to do with the degree he currently has. after that, what does he want to do after getting a higher degree. what plans he wants to do in the future, if it's to pursue his brighter future with the degree he has and equal to his abilities. then I will encourage him, to continue his studies at a higher level.

For the second, I will not prevent him if he does not want to continue his studies. chances are, I'll ask him. what skills does he want and what are the prospects for the future, whether after getting the skills it gives him high space and opportunity to create decent jobs or can bring in income that is equivalent to the skills he gets. furthermore, the choice is theirs.

So far, there is no definite and accurate information. we only read from Op's thread articles and posts, so in this case. I personally have to look at both sides in a balanced way, which is where both sides have their own claims.  In the end, the final decision will be made in court and both parties will have to prove it to win the case.


If you play on a site that decides not to pay the winnings that should be yours, then that site is a scam. So, you have to make sure that the casino you use has a credible reputation. and in our forum we have casinos that have a high reputation.

However, in this case. the lottery casino platforms had paid the man's winnings before. so, it's not like what you say here. this case has been in court, regarding the outcome, only the court can decide.

Japan is one of the representatives from Asia who will compete in the world cup championship stage in Qatar. unfortunately, Japan are in Group E which includes Germany, Spain and Costa Rica. they are in a completely unfavorable group, they have a very difficult opponent to beat. the only equal opponent for Japan, is Costa Rica. however, if we refer to the rankings held by Japan and Costa Rica. Japan is ahead by having a ranking of 24 FIFA, while Costa Rica is ranked 31st FIFA.

Japan will start the match against Germany, everyone knows that Germany is stronger to win this fight. but hope is always there, where Germany's performance did not look good if we refer to its match in the Nations League.


Yes, an unforgettable moment at the 2002 world cup. which was where there was a lot of controversy. I remember the moment when South Korea defeated Italy, with the final score 2-1. Ahn Jun-Hwan became the hero of the South Korean squad at that time, and another important victory against Germany in the 2018 world cup.

In this group, South Korea seems difficult to qualify for the next round. but as you said, the team that was not favourite at first, might give us a surprise in this year's world cup.
