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

The Spanish mistake was to force every player who shouldn't be in that position. Let's take the example of Marco Asensio, he should be in the winger or AMF position and instead he is positioned as a striker, while Rodri should be in the DMF or CMF position instead he is placed in the center back position. But in fact the two players were placed in an inappropriate position.

Even though on the bench there are names like Alvaro Morata who plays as a pure striker and there is also César Azpilicueta who plays as a center back.

I can't understand why Luis Enrique could think like that, does he still want to keep the Barcelona players to fill his line up in Spain or indeed he can't see the potential of other players.
I was also surprised when I saw that the Spain coach played many of the players out of position. almost at the defence line that played against Morocco where midfielders while defenders were sitting on the bench, he changed many things.
But I decided not to blame him any longer because they must have tried it out in the training and there should be a reason why he should do it at the quarter-final stage. Meanwhile all those people played well in all the positions they were played.  Morocco were more focused and energetic than the Spanish team

Brazil has a big chance to be the winner of the World Cup 2022, but that will be challenging because every country has the same opportunities. We will see the performance of the other countries, including Brazil, and if Brazil has the best performance, they will beat every country and stay at the top.

But this World Cup surprised me as some underdog countries can beat their favorite countries in the beginning, and if, in the next match, those countries can beat the other favorite countries, that will be another surprise to all of us.
Brazil is the most favourite for this world cup and they will be able to beat any country that comes their way. The underdogs have no power over Brazil. They can pull surprises on other countries but not on Brazil and France. Brazil is the favourite, followed by France and England.  But England and France one has to fall which makes it even less work for Brazil because both of them are in the other arm of qualifying

Portugal is currently in the FIFA World Cup 2022.  However, this is Ronaldo's last World Cup as he will not be able to participate in the next FIFA World Cup due to his age.  His age acted as the biggest hurdle in his life due to which this was his last World Cup.  Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup Can Ronaldo win for Portugal with the team.


Portugal were outstanding in their last 16 match with a crushing win over Switzerland. They have the opportunity to penetrate the Semi-Finals because they have an opponent who on paper is no better than Portugal. Cristiano Ronaldo and colleagues will make the most of the opportunity and it is certain that they want to present something extraordinary with their Megastar.
Morocco is their next opponent, so their chances of breaking into the semifinals are above their current opponent.
Portugal has been very outstanding in their world cup performance they have faced every match they had with a lot of energy and they have won almost all their matches which is a very good fit for them.
Their next test is the match against Morocco and we know how good the Moroccan side are in terms of playing defensive. How many goals will Portugal players be able to score against Morocco. How would they even be able to score against Morocco or we will just wait and see

Reported from  Fabrizio Romano Cristiano Ronaldo rumor about joined with Saudi Arabian team Al Nassr done deal is not true, I don't think why many newspaper have official announcement about agreement deal between Cristiano Ronaldo with Al Nassr because he wants existing with playing in European team. I think all player transfer rumor never true except announced by Fabrizio Romano.

Still questionable with the future team for Cristiano Ronaldo, waiting few weeks later after World Cup over and we know what the next team for Ronaldo retired his career.
if I were to be Ronaldo I will accept the contract from Saudi Arabia, that is the best thing for his career at this very stage of his age. When he was being benched at Manchester United many people blamed the coach that Ronaldo cannot be bench as long as he is still playing.
ETH insisted and that brough the problem between him and Ronaldo in Manchester United .Today Portugal is benching Ronaldo in a match that if they lose they will go home. this is a very big signal that Ronaldo is been affected by age. the best for him is to accept the huge contract and make another history in football and retire by eating his money from Saudi

I wholeheartedly congratulate the coach of Morocco. That man is well trained and intelligent, he knows every bit of things that he does and he studies the game very well and knows what to do at a particular time in the game.
I listened his interview where he said that the big problem with Africans in the World Cup is that they only aim to qualify from the group match that they don't have to win the World Cup but he has not only come to qualify from the group stage that he aims to win the World Cup. That very mindset of his has brought him this far and I wish him more success. If he can win Belgian, if you can win Spain, he can also win Portugal

Arsenal was never in the title race, they're known to blow chances up when ever they're in the lead of the table. This isn't the first time they'll be losing a lead after then been in lead during the holidays. With or without Gabriel Jesus they would had still lost the title to Manchester city. While Arsenal still have some of their vital players still playing at the world cup like Saka, Manchester city best players are already going home and some didn't even make it to the world cup like Haaland, Riyad Mahrez etc

Kevin De Bruyne which is arguable the best player at Manchester city is on his way home, going to rest after Belgium didn't qualify from the group stages at the world cup. It was a disgrace but also meant he'll be well rested before the season continue and will be back assisting Haaland score outrageous goals and break news record as usual to help Manchester city lift the trophy.
I doubt with Arsenal consistency without have Gabriel Jesus after confirming injured with his national team and absent until World Cup 2022 over, seems Arsenal have already if loss Gabriel Jesus and need to find who are the best replacement choose for position leaving by Gabriel. Arsenal actually still have potential player at World Cup with Bukayo Saka but he has different position with Gabriel Jesus.

Manchester City still lucky team right now in Primer League because their player Kevin De Bruyne have eliminated from World Cup, but still have potential with other player like João Cancelo worry will injured or not. Several team in Primer League have many their player existing in World Cup, just hope and pray they can back to the team without injury.

I had always been confident that if Arsenal can top the English Premier League table till after the World Cup they will be able to win the title League but I always give my conditions for saying so which is that the three Arsenal strikers should not be injured.
But looking at the present situation that one of the three strikers who is Gabriel Jesus is now injured, it is a very big blow to Arsenal and I wish they can find a way to replace Gabriel Jesus in the January open window before he gets back to his feet if not they may slide off the table.

It is unfair that FIFA does not give enough time for rest after the group stage. This kind of schedule will affect Premier league players who will resume league this month. The schedule is too tight.
Brazil is lucky to have South Korea to meet. It is obvious that Brazil can beat South Korea without Neymar and that will give more time for Neymar to recover. South Korea will only try to defend because they cannot attack openly against Brazil
Changes to the World Cup schedule which are usually carried out in the middle of the year where local competitions have finished their season and now at the end of the year when the leagues have to take a break for the World Cup all activities become so crowded, of all this density the players are the most disadvantaged, especially like the England which known as a country with very tight football competition they will be very tired, but Fifa is unlikely to give players a long break after the group phase because it will affect other competitions, so what can be done now is only run the existing schedule without being able to change it.
What will be the most disadvantaged if there are core players who have to suffer serious injuries while the team still has to continue playing and when he returned to the league he still couldn't play so the club was also at a disadvantage

I remember a statement made by Thibaut Courtois that, "FIFA is playing the players too many games in a year".

There is no doubt that football is a game that is very physical. It requires a lot of physicality as well as a lot of mental strength. If players are forced to play too many games, then they are likely to suffer more injuries. In addition, they might as well suffer injuries that will end their careers.

Recently, there have been a lot of competitions for players, including the champions league, the league cup, and some smaller competitions. As we have seen in this World Cup, there have been so many big players injured because of the high frequency of matches that are being played.

My personal opinion is that both FIFA and UEFA should decrease the number of matches that they play. This will ensure that the players stay healthy and give the audience a great show that they deserve.

You know, a few days ago Neymar got injured. I saw Brazilian fans cheering in the comment section when Neymar posted on his Instagram account that he is well and ready for the next game. No one expect such kind of incidents.
Mate you have said it all, FIFA does not care about the welfare of the footballers, what they care is money. also Eufa does not care about the welfare of the players.
Why would they have Champions League and also have Europa League and went ahead to have Conference League they also introduce Eufa Nations league all these things are bringing low quality football out from players.
Like Morocco vs Spain do you know what the Morocco guys work so hard to hold Spain down such that Spain played 1050 passes without having three goals attempt. In the next two days there are up again playing and tearing muscle after which they will not give them time to resume League
7169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 07, 2022, 07:14:56 AM


Not Cristiano Ronaldo, not Lionel Messi and not Kylian Mbappe, the scorer of the first hat trick in the 2022 world cup was Goncalo Ramos, he started to replace Ronaldo in the match against Switzerland. With an absolute 6-1 win over Switzerland, Portugal's move to the quarter finals is definitely safe and ready to meet Morocco to fight for a ticket to the semifinals.
Goncalo Ramos has been a Benfica player since 2020 until now, but surely people will start to recognize him through this world cup match. Against Morocco, I hope he can start again as a starter with the duo Joao Felix who is so extraordinary with his skill game. For Ronaldo, it's better to stay on the bench because Portugal plays far more optimally when these young players have the freedom to carry out creative attacks and not rely on just one person.
I didn't expect that someone without big name will score the first hatrick. I was thinking it will be Mbappe that will score the first hatrick or Saka or Rashford but as Rashford was not seeing frequent matches I counted him out. Surprisingly another person did it. Congratulations to Ramos.
It is now obvious that Erik Ten Hag was not wrong when he was benching Ronaldo. Nobody can beat nature.

of course a team will go through a long process to become stronger than what happened to them before. but additional players are the first option to improve the quality of the current team even we saw newcastle united also made a big improvement in the last summer window and it seems they are doing a better job now. West Ham will most likely be able to make improvements in the winter window because for now we see them to be in 16th place in the standings with a collection of points that are quite close to teams who are in the relegation zone.
Newcastle has always practiced well to improve teamwork which until now has been the key to victory for Newcastle, at least Newcastle has proven that they are capable of winning and there is still potential to win first place. It is likely that when the transfer market is open then Newcastle will try to add new players again to strengthen the team they have.

I would say the best teamwork we have seen this season is between the Newcastle players. In second place I will put Arsenal team. Newcastle have no star players. Newcastle have improved tremendously this season simply because of the understanding between the players and the confidence they have. They are able to play well in every match.

Now Newcastle need some very talented players. Newcastle's defense is very strong. They need more talented forwards and regular scorers. If Newcastle strengthen their attack in the next winter transfer window, then Newcastle's team performance will improve even more.

Newcastle United team seems to be the best team for me in English Premier League. That team don't depend on any one man or two to deliver the team. Each and everyone of them are up and doing in their respective wings.
What will make you to understand that Newcastle team is powerful is when they begin to occupy England best eleven every week. You will see two or three Newcastle players every week in that squad. That shows they are doing well.

Good to know that Neymar Jr is back and we all saw how he helped his country to win. Congratulations to Brazil. After this stage we will meet the semi's where France will face England. That will be a tough match, with regards to that;

Raheem Sterling flew back to London because of family matters. It was reported that as Sterling was playing for his country, his home was raided by mobs and he flew back to check the safety of his family.
Do we have an idea if he will be available against France?

I thought that after going through a difficult phase in the South Korean group stage, at least it would make Brazil feel difficult, but it seems that it was even unexpected that Brazil in the first half managed to score 4 goals and at the same time made the victory for Brazil so absolute. In the second half, South Korea managed to score 1 goal, on the other hand, South Korea also had many opportunities but was thwarted by the appearance of goalkeeper Alisson, who was extraordinary in being able to block shots from South Korean players. But I really salute and respect South Korea, they performed very well in this world cup.
I don't actually know what to tell people that expected that South Korea Will Survive against Brazil. There is no how South Korea would have done anything better than they did against Brazil. The Brazilian side are too hot and too skillful to be held down.
There is no expected miracle that can happen, in fact let me put it like this, in this world cup the only two teams that has the ability to face Brazil and have a good result is France and England apart from these two countries no other country can defeat Brazil in this world cup

It hasn't happened yet. Nowadays, media news can't be relevant. A deal for Cristiano Ronaldo to join Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr has not yet been reached, despite reports. Until the World Cup is over, Cristiano Ronaldo's main goal is to win the tournament.
https://www.facebook.com/SkySports/videos/1265760774003715
200 million euros per season incl. advertising revenue...that's a lot of money what chrostiano ronaldo is supposed to get there.
getting so much money at 37..i think this is a new record in professional football .
then ronaldo can buy a lot of bitcoin so that the price goes up again  Grin Grin

I do not believe that this has already happened. I think the media is trying to get views. That’s why they are spreading these news. As far as I know, Cristiano Ronaldo has been offered this amount of money. Basically, he has been approached with this offer from Al Nassr. He has not yet accepted it. I think if he does not get any really good teams, accepting this type of money is always good for the future of anyone. I think he should go for money at this stage of his career, regardless of how much money he already has.
I sensor the kind of news I read and the type of news I spread. I know that Ronaldo is in Qatar struggling with what seems to be his last world cup. He is a determined leader and so he won't be distracted at this time accepting or rejecting club proposals. A fresh and reliable news would be heard after the world cup. It can be fine if we stop over speculating.

Bayern is just trying their best to be the best team with the money they have and mane is their big hope to replace Lewandowski but talent like Lewa is hard to find. there is still hope for Bayern to be able to maintain their good performance, as long as they manage to get harry kane then their problem will be solved.
Players who have high skills and patience like Robert Lewandowski are very difficult to find, but if Bayern Munich prefers players who have a young age with good skills, maybe they will get it easily, because Robert Lewandowski is a player that is really wanted by many teams.
I am thinking that the issue of Bayern Munich looking for striker since Lewandowski left is over blown. Bayern is not as desperate as depicted in the media. Have you thought about how many active goal scorers are in Bayern Munich? Let me try to mention people that are capable getting a goal in their three appearances.
1. Thomas Muller
2. Sadio Mane
3. Lorry Sane
4. Gnabry
5. Moting
6. Davies
7. Musiala
And still counting.
7175  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion Thread || Current discussion: African teams at Qatar. on: December 06, 2022, 07:01:11 AM
Among the two African countries that are remaining, I am believing Morocco to qualify for the next round than Senegal. This is because England this year is better than Spain. Moreover Spain didn't have a very easy ride during the group stage. They at a point was not about to crash out . This doesn't mean I'm undermining any country. Anyone can advance including the Senegalese

A very bold opinion and although I agree that every team has a chance, I agree here with the opinion of bookmakers who see this game like this:

To Qualify:

Morocco 3.90

Spain 1.24

It seems to me that Spain did not spend much energy in the game with Japan, so in the game with Morocco they will play in optimal shape and win easily.
I will go with @Docnaster here with his opinion of Spain this year not having the usual experienced team as we use to see them on most previous World Cups, if you say that they didn’t give their best on the match against Japan that’s not a reason because for few minutes when Costa Rica was winning against Germany, Spain was out of group stage if the score remained the same.
I believe Spain is just not strong enough this year and Morocco may have a great opportunity to win the match

Yea, I already knew that Senegal will not see the next round, it was so obvious because the England attack is so difficult to handle by any team. I did also compare the strength of Spain to that of England and England was at the higher end.
The Spain team is a better team than Morocco, but if Morocco can pay attention to their defence and try not to conceive in the first half, Spain will be in trouble.
7176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Candidates for the WORLD CUP 2022 Winner on: December 05, 2022, 10:07:38 AM
So far France is the biggest favorite for winning the World Cup. Brazil didn't impress at all against Switzerland and they lost against Cameroon. They also have a bunch of injured players. Maybe Brazil can reach the semifinals at least. I don't believe that England is going to achieve something big on this World Cup. The English team played against weaker opponents and won, but they fail at winning against a better opponent most of the time. I can't see how England could possibly win against France. The rest of the teams seem mediocre, even Spain and Portugal.

Based on individual attacking powers, England can eliminate France in that meeting. The attacking strength of England is more powerful than the attacking strength of France. But the attacking strength of France is more dangerous than the attacking strength of England because of Kylian Mbappe. That guy is so deadly and can put out wonders that you wouldn't expect at any time.

I actually see that Croatia should be able to change their strategy. Croatia's defense is solid. but in this match it is croatia must focus on how to overcome the speed of the Japanese players.
Is highly spirited team versus a very good and experienced team. My take on the Match I think it is going to end up in favour of  the experienced team. Croatia team has been together for the past six to eight years with the best midfield in this competition. Players such as Luca Modrich, Mateo Kovačić of Chelsea and the midfield maestro Marcelo Brozović of Inter Milan. I think they have the tools to overrun Japan.
Did you also consider the age of this players. The Croatia players are older than the Japan players and that is why the Japan players are faster and they cam return to help the defence when needed. This the only fair fixture I have seen in the knockout stage of the World Cup. Croatia vs Japan is a far fixture.
7178  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 05, 2022, 09:49:42 AM
Age have nothing to do with Ronaldo , he is still very active . The reason why maybe much clubs are not interested in buying him is because of the high amount of money to sign in him. This season Ronaldo have not played football in a full match compare to last season that is why he has not done much.
Ronaldo said  he was going to retire at the age of 40 that was from his past interview with Piers Morgan. He is the most ambitious footballer ever in history of football. He has said he will love to play with his son in professional football. And also, he has a lot of records to protect due to the activeness of Lionel Messi. He thinks he still has a lot of years left in professional football. I do not see him going to Saudi Arabia. And I am very sure he will sign for a top team in Europe. Possibly, Napoli.
If you say that age has nothing to do with Ronaldo you are not being sincere to nature, no one can cheat nature and that is how it has been designed to be. When Ronaldo was at the age of mbappe he was a fire in the pitch, he was a playmaker, he was a goal scorer, he was a penalty kicker, he was a free-kick and he was everything you can think of in football. Today the energy Ronaldo hard when he was at the age of mbappe is not what he has again. if I am a coach I will even play small Garnacho in football above Ronaldo in a match that needs high-pressing ability. Ronaldo cannot cheat nature so saying that age has nothing to do with Ronaldo is a fallacy

.....then to my shock i was boy aged around 14 to 15 years who came in and gave the cashier a booking code to place the bet and give him the coupon and the cashier collected and i was like isn't this too little to be involved in such acts.
There are countries whose legal age is 16 and there may be others with lower number as their age of consent. I doubt the one or two-year age gap won't really be that big of a factor when we talk about the "side effects" of gambling addiction at an early age.


Our government is also pushing this legal age due to incidents involving minors, mostly 17 years old. It has really good aspects to have this 16- to 17-year-old legal age. At this generation's age, 16 to 17, people are more mature than they were in my time, and they are more curious about things that we parents can't stop.
Mostly, those side effects greatly affect those teens, as that is where they start learning what is really in the world, and this is also the time that teens get curious, which is where the addiction starts. 
After seeing how young people grow big and misbehave this time around, I concluded that God created another generation from the year 2000. If you look at this teenagers you think that they know things as they have grow. but I took out my time to call few of them and interviewed them and I discovered that they don't have any experience of life. There is little or even nothing in their head about life and that is why I cry for them because they are heading to doom and some of their parents do not take responsibility, they allowed society to train their kids any how the kids meet the society

There is nothing particularly noteworthy about the past games Japan played against strong opposition like Spain and Germany. The only intriguing quality is the determination to get through the group stage. A well-built and cohesive team will make for a challenging match. Croatia is a very strong defensive team, so I predict a draw in the game. Croatia will triumph on penalties.

Well good football is one thing but in the case of Japan, they are Just finding a way to  win their matches which is the most important thing in football. No matter how beautiful your football, the thing that matters most is the baging of that crucial three points. Japan knows how to hold the line against a team that is good in playing the ball but the only time they faced a team where they are the ones doing the playing they lost @costa rica.  Their game against the croatians  i think is really going to be a  boring match because both team will be very careful not to misuse the ball and concede a goal. As for the game ending a draw,  i don't think there wil be a draw maybe japan  might just scale through with a goal at nearly stoppage time.

Spacebar96 you understand football and you have said it as you understood. I want you to understand that the Crotia team of this world cup is not close to what we had last world cup interms of quality. Their saving grace is good defense and Japanese also have good defence that is why they will score less goals and the match likely end in draws and I'm penalty kick I don't know the country that has a better keeper.
