Morocco will no longer continue the good luck that beat Spain. Against Portugal in the quarter-finals, in my opinion, Morocco had to give up their best achievement until the quarter-finals because the semifinals belonged to Portugal. I feel confident like the predictions of many friends that the 2022 Qatar World Cup will be Ronaldo's last final.
England will play against Portugal in the semifinals because it is highly likely that the defending champions of the 2018 World Cup will fall even though this tournament is full of surprises and difficult to predict.
What you did above is pure speculation but you sounded so confident as if you work with the FIFA. I don't understand how you say that Morocco does not have any chances of advancing to the next level, though everybody is entitled to their speculation and their thought but I thought you would at least backup your speculation with reasons but you merely said it . Portugal is the favourite here but so what happened in the last match how Almighty Brazil was eliminated could be the fate of Portugal today |

bayern munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer suffered a lower leg fracture and underwent surgery on friday. the accident happened during his winter vacation while skiing. bayern munich will now have to do without MN for the rest of the season - Sven Ulreich will now be in goal for all competitive fixtures  Quick Recovery to him, since the FIFA World Cup they won at Brazil German's have never been good, but still he never brings errors to Bayern Munich. He is a very good inspiration to any young germans growing up to reach this level. He is indeed a true captain who have test the length of time. Bayern Munich had quality players I hope his absence won't affect them anyway in goal. They should have started planning for his retirement. Neuer has been a classy and the most confident goalie I have seen. His experience plus his experience gives him the edge above all.his competitors. He equally has the ability to use his feet very well. I categorise him in the class of Edwin Vandersa of Manchester United and Peter Cech of Chelsea and the then Oliver Kaln. He should be an inspiration to the young generation. I wish him quickly recovery but I know his age will limit his recovery rate. |

Real Madrid is the best team in La Liga. All the players in their team are very experienced and play tactically. The good performance of Real Madrid's team has the potential to go well in La-Liga. That means they deserve to win the La Liga title.
Real Madrid has been one of the best teams in the world for many years, everyone agrees. They've been playing pretty well in the past years, but I don't think it's right to say that they're the best team in La Liga this year. If it was as you say, they would be leaders in the league now, but they lost points in the games before the world cup and Barcelona are in a better position now. A lot of things will change by the end of the year, but I don't think it's fair to say they're the best right now  I understand your logic and that because Barcelona FC is at the top of the La Liga table it means they are the best team in La Liga, that it will therefore be wrong to call Real Madrid the best team in La Liga. Let me follow your logic and tell you that Real Madrid remains the best team in La Liga, do you know why? it is because Real Madrid is the champions of La Liga and for now there is no other champion until whenthe season finish. So Real Madrid is the best team in La Liga and also the only team that is in the Champions League from the La Liga side how do you see it ? |

Exactly , there was this much expectation on the Spanish team this world cup, And this amounted pressure on the entire players.
But on before the world cup, the Spanish team is not what they used to be before, there was a drop as regards to their performance, so what makes it to become a headline and a big defeat was the fact that people was not expecting a team like Morocco to send them packing.
That is what makes football so entertaining to watch. An unexpected team defeating a team that everyone expects to win a match. Spain had played their best till that point. They were able to keep Morocco at bay until penalties, despite having the majority of scoring chances in that game. To me, penalties do not assess a team's perfection, thus their exit was just unlucky for them, whereas Morocco benefited from the penalty that day. The Spanish team did not do anything special about their team before coming to this world cup. It has been the Spanish team we used to know if you can remember in 2018 World Cup at Russia spain faced Crotia and they were able to complete 1000 passes and they could not win the match. history repeated itself against Morocco they had 1050 passes and still lost the match. most of their passes are not forward past, they pass sidewards and backward pass this is not what is needed in the World Cup to make a win and Crotia has a good penalty history |

Aston Villa have been active in the last transfer window and have managed to put together a good team so far. A young vibrant team that I enjoy watching, Aston Villa are now used to putting up quite a show in the transfer windows, I was shocked when they succeeded in getting Buendia and then Coutinho, so it’s not all that surprising anymore to hear them being interested in Abraham and Felix especially now that they have Emery as their manager, we have to expect this kind of deals.
In this present competitive English Premier League Aston Villa might not be able to enter the top 4, they also might not be able to go to Europa League but one thing I am sure about Aston Villa is they will be known as a club that is capable to give fight to any club in the English Premier League. this could be the beginning of their glory and the arrival of Emry is an added advantage to the club and his presence could drive any good player to the club. If Abraham or Felix is interested in joining Aston Villa it will be a very good show down and will open door for more good players |

Manchester United has played friendly matches with Laliga team Cadiz yesterday that surprisingly they were lose from Cadiz with scores 4-2 although some of key players such as Martial, Mctominay and Van De Beek were played but Manchester United cannot able to beat Cadiz who filled with young players and Manchester United will do one more friendly match against Real Betis this Sunday before playing at Carabao cup against Burnley on round of 16
Opposite result was happened to Arsenal that playing at Dubai Super Cup against Lyon they can able to win with big scores from Lyon with scores 3-0 although Arsenal was playing only with young players but they can able to performing well on that match
The friendly games are just to help the coaches assess their team's performance and progress so far and it is not a competition that the fans should whine about a lose. Soon the world cup will be over and every player will be returning back to their clubs to resume the season. Arsenal also had a game against Lyon which ended in a 3 nil win in Arsenal's favour. The boys put up a good show and dominated the game so well. The friendly matches which Manchester United have played or will play during the course of this World Cup is not a serious one to begin to cry about. It is a match that the young boys in his team are being tried. I saw Marshall as the striker and I also saw other good finishers like Garnacho and Elanga. Van de Beek was at the middle with Mctomny. Although Manchester United we are supposed to come out well in the match because they have famous names in the team but even if it didn't work out there is no cause for alarm. It's for fitness purposes |

i hope for just as exciting 2 quarterfinals today as they were yesterday. since i'm always in favor of the supposed underdogs at big tournaments, i've been supporting croatia and morocco since the quarterfinals.
can well imagine today that mar again creates the surprise via a penalty shootout and maybe eliminated tonight then even with france the reigning world champion
I am in support of this World Cup to belong to the underdogs and they have been doing wonderfully well apart from last night that Argentina refused to be eliminated but when we talk about underdog the only underdog am seeing at this stage is Morocco. We should not confuse Crotia to be an underdog. This is because Croatia was at the final at the last World Cup 2018, so it will be an error to call them an underdog because they have good experience of the World Cup and especially of penalty kick. |

Sevilla still has a great opportunity to improve their performance because this season there are many matches remaining. I'm not too worried about the surprises that happened to the Seville team because I believe they can recover in the second half of the season. but they will find it difficult to break into the top 4 in the season but for me they will try hard to be in the middle of the table in the second half of the season. sevilla has points that are quite close to the team above it so I'm sure they will be able to get out of the relegation zone when laliga starts again after the world cup is over. Sevilla only needs to improve a little in the transfer season window. I hope their management is not stingy in purchasing players in order to be able to support their performance in the second half of this season. Being in the relegation zone is not a good achievement for a team that often occupies the top four positions. Sevilla still has time to improve, the transfer market can be used to bring in the players needed. La Liga has only completed 14 games, there are still 24 more games that Sevilla can use to improve their ranking in the standings. To improve the performance of the team currently being handled, Jorge Sampaoli needs support from club management by facilitating everything needed, classy players are a priority that must be brought in when the transfer window opens. When a club is not doing great it is always difficult to see great players that are willing to go to the club. Unless it a big club already who is just having a bad season and players will know thatvit will take a season or less than a season to recover from slumber. Big players now want to play on the big stage. If not champions league, atleast they should be at the Europa league which will give the hope that the Champions league dream is alive. Sevilla on their own should show seriousness to attract big names. |

So far Gabriel Jesus has been a very important player in the Arsenal team and Arsenal's excellent game so far, of course, has a very large share of Gabriel Jesus and with the absence of Gabriel Jesus of course it will greatly affect Arsenal's performance.
however it all comes back to Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta how to handle this.
and so far due to the world cup we can see players who have improved performance and also injured players, it will all have an impact when they return to their respective clubs, be it positive or negative changes.
Jesus and Zinchenko was are City main team players who have become very important players in the Arteta team. For Guardeola, their absence is noticeable this season, did he really think that if so many important players left the team (remember Sterling went to Chelsea) his team's game would not change? But the season is not over yet, perhaps in the end it will turn out that he was right. ) The absence of Gabriel Jesus is a big blow to Arsenal and Arteta but they will not sit back and complain. They are lucky it happened when enough time will be given them to plan their next move. It is now left for Arteta to decide to get a striker by January or decide to use Nketiah who also is a good striker till when Jesus will recover from the injury. There is time for him to make decisions and i wouldn't want to see him make a free fall from the top. |

honestly this two days of World cup break seems to me like 1 week. The environment has been boring no entertainment no English Premier League no La Liga no Bundesliga No Champions League and Europa only waiting for World Cup. I'm happy it has resumed. but from where I am living it is several hours before the match between Brazil and Croatia but I have no option than to wait patiently.
So actually we don't expect FIFA or UEFA to reduce the tournament because it will make us football lovers so boring because the matches that can be watched regularly will be reduced, thankfully after this World Cup is over the Premier League will soon play its matches on December 26 while Serie A starts January 2023. The Netherlands vs Argentina match is at midnight according to my time zone so I should be ready for a late bedtime. Lol. You make a whole lot of sense. Many of us have been saying that FIFA and UEFA should reduce the number of matches that are played while we cannot stay days without watching football. In order to balance it UEFA needs to remove some tournaments like conference league and the UEFA nations league. The EURO tournament should replace it very well. For your time zone, so sorry about keeping late night. In my time zone I will watch the matches around 3pm and second match will start by 7pm. |

I don't blame Arsenal if they lose Martinelli, because players sometimes are hard to convince when renewing contract. And clubs like Barcelona are hard to turn down. I still think they need a winger. If you look at Barcelona their wingers always prefer to play from the right wing. The only player that plays from there is Ansu Fati who is always injured. And with Lewa almost looking to leave possible next season then it is a right move for Barca.
On their transfer issues it is still ridiculous how they sign players and still say there having financial issues. I just think laliga officials are turning a blind eye to there financial dealings
Martinelli have mentioned on different occasions that he is bent on extending his contract with the club and wants to stay so I don't understand where this news of a possible move is coming from. Barcelona have many wingers in their squad, I'm quite confident that Martinelli will stay and extend his contract with Arsenal for more years to come. Martinelli for me is the future of Arsenal and is showing great potencial. Arsenal needs to start making a team for the upcoming years. They are on a good way with how good they are playing and it looks like Arteta knows his job. Barcelona wont buy Martinelli they already have too many attackers If I were to be Martineli I will not consider going to Barcelona an option. He is a starter in Arsenal and the Arsenal of today has direction. Arsenal is seriously contesting for English Premier league title and they are in the race for Europa League also. Apart from these, in the next 3 to 4 seasons, Arsenal will continue to be in the top 4 of the English Premier League, unless they change management. This means Martineli will continue to be in Champions league after this season. |

I'm hoping to get a ticket to the Real Madrid vs Liverpool game. Feel like Liverpool will have a good shot this time [even though I do wish we beat them in the Champions League final last year
Watching live the match between Real Madrid vs Liverpool is everyone's dream, I really hope to get tickets to be able to watch the match between Real Madrid vs Liverpool live, because this match is a repeat of last year's final, even though Liverpool have not been able to get a win against Real Madrid. Madrid but I'm optimistic that meeting in the last 16 this year will be a comeback for Liverpool to make history and be able to get rid of real Madrid from the last 16 of the Champions League, although it's difficult but I'm sure Luiz Diaz, Mohammad Salah et al can beat Real Madrid at the meeting later. Point of correction, watching Real Madrid versus Liverpool live is not everyone's dream do not try to generalize the statement. Based on personal feelings and perception I would rather choose to watch Bayern Munich vs PSG than to watch Real Madrid versus Liverpool. What other interesting things are we going to see in Real Madrid versus Liverpool if not inability to score goals. They have met several times in the Champions League and I have known how the vibe use to be. I don't want to witness it anymore especially this season that Liverpool is not in form |

I'm starting to get bored and don't know what to do now that the cup is suspended  I don't think Croatia is strong enough to give Brazil problems. Of course we have seen a lot in this world cup. Anything can happen but from my point of view Brazil will have a comfortable match. I hope it will be as you say and I will watch a competitive match. Otherwise it might not be very enjoyable to watch a match directed by Brazil. I expect a Brazilian victory with a result like 3-1. I was just about to write the same. Two days without a game, after xx days with many games was of course a bit boring. Today only 2 games, but okay, we'll be fine. Brazil I see the team in the semifinals and I think the Netherlands have a good chance vs Argentina. They haven't lost a game this World Cup and won 8 of their last 10 games. Argentina lost 1:2 against Saudi Arabia in this World Cup. honestly this two days of World cup break seems to me like 1 week. The environment has been boring no entertainment no English Premier League no La Liga no Bundesliga No Champions League and Europa only waiting for World Cup. I'm happy it has resumed. but from where I am living it is several hours before the match between Brazil and Croatia but I have no option than to wait patiently. |

Musiala wont leave Bayern Munich anytime soon,i think that he will stay in the club for a very long time and he is their project. Bayern Munich always makes a team for a couple of years in advance. Musiala can only leave the club if he isnt attracted to play in the bundesliga.
Jamal Musiala career at Bayern Munich is still quite good and has good achievements, whereas if someone offers him a high price I'm sure Bayern Munich will let him go to increase their finances, this is the same as when Bayern Munich released Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona. I don't think that there is any amount of money that will make Bayern Munich put Musiala for sale. Bayern Munich is not Dortmund that is known for selling their young stars for money. The only problem that will make Musiala wants to leave Bayern is when he is not getting a good playing time he will want to find his way out from the club now that he has made his international ground breaking appearance. He is still very young, the future is bright for him. there is no club in their right senses that he'd be willing do some a youngster like Gemma Moore sierra for any reasons I left the club is having some financial issues |

A powerful AI that is being provided with the necessary information can predict football match for instance. If the player ratings of both teams is given to the AI, the availability of players given it, the head to head history given to the AI, the weather condition given to the AI, the importance of the match to both teams given to the AI, I think the AI can make soke good predictions. But I will not leave it 100% without interference.

Barcelona's lead over Real Madrid is no guarantee that they will win the competition. Real Is not at its best in the last phase of the competition. But if you look at that team, there is more class and substance than Barcelona. It will still come down to the mutual confrontation later in Barcelona. Barcelona has actually won many matches with very ugly football and then also with minimal differences. I think that game image has to change, because if you keep winning with minimal differences, then everything has just fallen in the right direction. Benzema will be back in January.
There is every possibility that Barcelona can win the La Liga. They are already at the top of the league and their strongest competitor is Real Madrid, if you look at the player situation of Real Madrid you will understand that Benzema is not in his best fit for now and before he could return to Real Madrid to help them get more goals Barcelona will advanced because that is the major challenge they have apart from the Europa League. Xavi will want to win the La Liga in order to redeem his image and get more time in Barcelona |

I don't know if Croatia will be able to face Brazil this time... In my opinion Brazil will have no problem winning, judging by the way they have played in past matches... I think this time Croatia was unlucky... If they had not faced Brazil, but for example France or Portugal, I'd be thinking about who could win... But Brazil will undoubtedly win...
This world cup has been unpredictable. That is the reason why I am being hesitant while making a prediction for this match. Even then, if somehow Croatia manages to beat Brazil, then it will be the biggest upset in this tournament so far. And everyone will be disappointed. 90% of the fans want the first semifinal to be between Brazil and Argentina. If Croatia wins on 9th, then the semi-final will be between them and the winner of Argentina vs Netherlands. Even the TV broadcasters will be praying for Brazil to win. There is no how Crotia was going to win against Brazil. Even if the Brazilian team will have to play one man less Croatia cannot win the match. Assuming it is the Croatia of last World Cup we would have expected some surprises but the Croatia of This World Cup has nothing spectacular to offer at this stage against Brazil. all their winnings and struggles to the stage was not even smooth for them, it is more of luck than hard work that brought them to this level so Brazil is going to eliminate them |

Ronaldo denied the rumors linked to Al-Nassr, he said he has not signed with them.
Was a rumor, more than a rumor form for the deal done with the Saudi Arabia club for 200m/year.
I still think he will end with Sporting.
Enough rumours circulating Ronaldo and what his next club will be. He exits united the moment he procrastinate the conditions of the team. Ronaldo said his mind and Piers Morgan have even urged Ronaldo to have a second thought about joining arsenal which I think it's absolutely out of the box for the GOAT. Ronaldo focusing more on the world cup rather than staggering on rumours concerning his move to Al-Nessr as false. He's heavily link with move to Saudi club and it's one of the big deals in football history if he pull it. As it stands now every information about Ronaldo's transfer is just a rumour and should be regarded as false information. This is because many information has been viral on the social media about Ronaldo for how many months now. This is what the journalist do in order to keep their business alive. even Ronaldo as of now does not know where his next destination will be. I think he is more focused on the World Cup, immediately after the World Cup Ronaldo will have a clue on where his next destination will be. |

Manchester United players in the world cup have been performing so well, players like Rashford, Luke shaw, Harry Maguire, Martinez, have show positive signs of picking up form in the world cup which is good news and a boost for Ten Hag's side when the season resumes. This break should be a bounce back period for team who failed to impress before the world cup.
You left out one of Manchester United's World Cup stars, Bruno Fernandes, who has excelled in the midfield this year. In this World Cup, his playing style has greatly improved. If Manchester United team can replicate what other players like you mentioned earlier are playing in the World Cup into their primary league after the World Cup, then every club will not want to play against them because of how strong the team will be and cannot be easily breakthrough. Well Bruno Fernandes found the right friend in the National team and he didn't find it in the club after all there is no guarantee he will do well even if Manchester signs the same player sometimes the motivation to play with the team in the club is different from playing with the national team like what Ronaldo did. All the Manchester united players that are doing great in world cup, I attribute the success to the coach of Manchester United. If Manchester United didn't have a new coach and they were struggling before the World Cup I doubt many of them wouldn't have been called up and the ones that are called up wouldn't have performed very well. It is because Eric has change the mentality of players, change those that are lazy to be very vibrant that is why you are seeing Manchester united players doing well in the World Cup |
