Croatia played a friendly match against Saudi Arabia yesterday and won but very hard, only 1:0.
In fact, it could be said that Saudi Arabia lost undeservedly, and they even had a chance to win.
After the match, all the Croatian players and the coach complained about the very difficult weather and high heat, which made it very difficult for them to play.
It seems to me that the difficult weather conditions in Qatar will be a major aggravating factor, especially for European teams that are not used to such harsh weather conditions.
These weather conditions will surely suit the African teams a lot more and maybe because of this the African teams will have more success in this world cup.

Croatia could have won with a bigger goal difference. Two of their goals were cancelled due to var and things could have gone worst for Saudi Arabia in this match. The heat will be a huge problem in the world cup and they need to get used to it. Team like Saudi Arabia,Qatar and so on are used to this conditions so might have a small advantage because of it

I agree, in the second half, when it was a little less hot, Croatia was much better and could have won with a much bigger goal difference.
However, in the first half, Saudi Arabia was much better and if they had scored the first goal, the question is how this match would have ended.
The Croatian defense made several huge mistakes in the first half, and it's really lucky that the players of Saudi Arabia didn't take advantage of that and scored a goal in the first half.
I hope that the Croatian players will get used to the high heat by the time the World Cup starts and that they will play better.

Hello, guys however it will end this will end of an ERA.

Most likely it will be the last world cup for Messi and Cr7.


Anyway, another big will skip the cup, bye bye Mane.

The two living legends of today are Messi and Ronaldo. But they still can't touch the World Cup. However, the brutal truth is that the Portugal team is not strong enough. They are more dependent on Ronaldo's performance. So, if Ronaldo continues to perform well, Portugal will do well in this World Cup.

On the other hand, Argentina team is very strong in this World Cup. I forget the last time they lost a game. They are consistently playing well. And Messi is in very good form. So we can expect a good performance from Argentina in this World Cup.

It's sad for Sadio Mane. Also I am not sure if Senegal can perform well without Sadio Mane. Sadio Mane is the most important player in the Senegal team.

Portugal has been in crisis for a long time and is playing badly.
In the qualifiers for the World Cup, they lost at home to Serbia and took only second place in their group, so they had to play additional qualifiers.
Ronaldo also played in all those matches for Portugal, but he did not really help the Portuguese team.
Honestly, I think his time has passed and Portugal would be better off playing without him. Manchester United started playing much better when they got rid of Ronaldo.
Argentina is currently a much more complete and better team than Portugal, and Messi plays much better than Ronaldo, so they have a much better chance of a good result at this World Cup.
Senegal with Mane and without him are two completely different teams. I'm sorry that such a good player misses the World Cup due to injury.

As expected, after Rijeka's disastrous defeat against Dinamo, 7:2, Rijeka's coach was fired.
It seems to me that this is Rijeka's biggest home defeat in history.
The long-standing wrong club policy and the large sale of players after each season led to this disaster.
Once a big club that always fought for titles in the Croatian league and in Europe often participated in the group stages of European competitions, now it is fighting for survival in the Croatian league.
It's a shame how the club's management destroyed this club with wrong decisions and the president of Miskovic should be the first to leave because he is the most responsible for the current state of the club, not the former coach.

Croatia won an exhibition game 10 minutes before the end. It doesn't say much, but it's better to win such matches than lose for self-confidence.

ya.ya.yo!

It was a very difficult game for Croatia and a very hard-fought victory, 1:0 for Croatia.
It could even be said that Saudi Arabia lost undeservedly and they were even close to victory.
After the match, almost all Croatian players and the coach talked about the very difficult conditions for the game and the high heat, which made it very difficult for the players to play.
It seems to me that this is another indication that it will be very difficult for the European teams to play in the World Cup, because they are not used to such difficult weather conditions.
Because of this, we might see some unexpected results at the World Cup.

Did anyone watch the match between Hajduk and Slaven Belupo yesterday?
Again we saw a lot of things that have nothing to do with football and it turned out that Hajduk fans are probably the craziest in the country.
However, this match also showed what is the difference between Dinamo and Hajduk and why Dinamo will be champion again without any problems, and why Hajduk is far from that goal.
Dinamo has a lot of quality players in the team, and based on their great individual quality, Dinamo often wins matches in which they play worse than their opponents.
On the other hand, Hajduk does not have many quality players in the team and depends too much on one player, Livaja.
Because of this, it often happens that when Hajduk is close to victory, they don't know how to end the match and are left without important points.
928  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: November 13, 2022, 12:59:12 PM
Well personally, I think Modric is in very good shape, in Belgium we have Haazard and we all know how well he plays, and even more so when he is in his team, Candá I see it as a team that can be or look somewhat weak , but I am considering that Croatia has the potential to reach a final, these countries are incredible, but as the tournament goes on and they qualify they become very strong, and they have always had very good players, I think that Croatia will pass and it will easily reach the semifinals, as it has done on occasions that have made us dream, of course I see it that way, we still have to wait to see how the players are grouped and with what strategies they can go out to play, everything depends on it.

I think that Modrić showed this season that he is still Croatia's most important player. It's not only because of his play. His appearance on the field brings some sort of relief to his teammates. Maybe I'm biased but for me Croatia without Modrić and Croatia with him are two totally different teams.

It will be a tough game against Belgium but Croatia is known to play their best game against strong opponents. I'm worried that the first two matches for Croatia are against Morocco and Canada. It could happen that they "shit the bed" in one of those games and then they'll have to fight with Belgium for the next round.

I agree with you. Croatia usually plays best against the strongest national teams, but often fails against weaker teams.
In this year's League of Nations, they lost the first match at home to Austria, then they beat against France and Denmark away from home and finally won the first place in the group.
The last qualifiers for the European Championship also began with an unexpected defeat by Slovenia.
With that in mind, obviously you shouldn't worry too much about how Croatia will play against Belgium, but you should worry about how they will play against Morocco and Canada  Grin
929  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: November 13, 2022, 12:52:08 PM

the team that will play in the next round of UCL is the best European team, but predicting which team will advance to the semifinals is not so difficult. Bayern and Man City will definitely go there, while PSG will have to fight hard to get to the semifinals. they will play bayern and from the history of the two meetings, PSG will be difficult to win against bayern.

but it's true what some people say, it's still too early to predict which team will advance to the UCL semifinals, we don't know what will happen when the world cup starts, many players will be injured or sold in the transfer market.
The possibility of the completion of the World Cup will bring new surprises to clubs competing in the last 16, both players who will suffer injuries or the transfer market that will revive hope for some clubs who have started recruiting new players.
And it's true that it's still too soon to make predictions for the title, but roughly speaking, the club that is often mentioned has a big chance in my opinion.
All teams will definitely make the best possible preparations to face this round of 16 match. But now they have to wait and support their players to compete in the World Cup while hoping that nothing untoward will happen and they will return with good performance to defend their team. Of course this is not the right time to predict, I mean with a very long time lag then it will at least change the shape of the team later.

This break in the competition should help some teams to better prepare for the continuation of the season and increase the chances of a better result.
I'm thinking of Liverpool in particular, who usually start the season worse, but in the second part of the season they play much better and achieve much better results.
If they were to play their match against Real now, they wouldn't have much of a chance, but I'm sure that in the spring they will be much better and more ready for the match with Real.
In any case, a very uncertain and exciting competition awaits us, and we still do not know in what condition the players will return from the world cup.

You can't say that everyone has the same chance to win the World Cup. Yes, all nations in Qatar CAN win the World Cup but you can't say that South Korea has the same chance to win the Cup as Brazil, Argentina or Portugal. South Korea simply don't have that good players like these three nations.

I found some interesting percentages to visualize about potential winners


Source: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/betting/football/world-cup-2022/winner-odds/

If we consider these odds above, there are 80% of chances of the champion be one of the past champions.
only 20% of chances to have a new champion like Portugal, Belgium and Netherlands.
They didn't consider another squads.
 

It's always like that. Bookmakers always give best chances to countries that were once a champion in the past. But usually it's with a reason because these countries have good players. Croatia was runner up in the last World Cup and passed into the final four of the Nation's league, but no one mentions them to become a champion. It's normal and expected.

In fact, there is a tendency to underestimate Croatia at every major competition.
The bookmakers never gave Croatia a chance for a big result, neither at the 1998 World Cup when we were third in the world, nor in 2018 when we were second in the world, nor in this year's League of Nations when we won first place in the group ahead of France and Denmark.
The biggest chances are always given to big football nations, and small football nations like Uruguay, Serbia, Croatia etc. are underestimated.
Regardless of the bookmakers' predictions, I am sure that there will be a lot of unexpected results and surprises at this world cup.

I can see the vast majority tipping Real Madrid to win against Liverpool but they have forgotten that football is unpredictable.
The main fact Real Madrid has had the upper hand over Liverpool in recent seasons doesn't mean it will continue. There must surely be a stop to it. And who knows, it might be this season because Liverpool this season has been unpredictable. February 14th is not that close. Anything can happen. Don't underestimate Liverpool now. They are coming back stronger by next year.
I know you're just saying this for typing sake,  just accept the fact that Liverpool is very unfortunate to be drawn with Madrid in the knockout stage of the champions league. Madrid is one of the favourite for the title this season, Liverpool has unbalanced team compared to Madrid that's complete from the defence to the midfield and to the attack. No one should deceive that Liverpool can scale through. This is their end to champions league journey.

Brutal  Grin
Although I support Real Madrid, I do not agree with such categoricalness - every team has a chance, even Villarreal was able to send Bayern home last year. But on the other hand, I do not agree with the bookmakers who believe that Liverpool is the favorite in this pair (it looks like a mockery against the backdrop of high-profile disasters that Liverpool have had this season). I think that Real is the favorite in this pair, and which team will go further will be seen later. Plus, we must take into account that the shape of the teams after the World Cup can seriously change.

The Champions League is a very uncertain competition and surprises always happen and some clubs unexpectedly reach the semi-finals or quarter-finals of the competition, like Villarreal last season.
This season, there are many more surprises and even Barcelona, Juventus, Atletico did not make it to the knockout phase of the competition.
If the match between Real and Liverpool was played now, Real would definitely have the advantage, but I think that this break in all competitions due to the world cup could help Liverpool.
We don't know in what condition the players will return from the World Cup, and Liverpool was much better in the second half of the season last season as well.

The question is how much will being a home tim help Qatar. I don't know how popular football in Qatar is. If there is not enough home fans, than I'm not sure that there will be a great atmosphere that we all are used to in home games. I would say that for now (at least until their first match) I would say that they are the biggest mistery of this World Cup. All I could find is that they have one lost game against Canada and one draw against Chile few months ago.

The problem we are facing is that the 4 teams in Group A hasn't faced each other recently. So we don't know how Qatar will play against Senegal, or how Ecuador will fare against Netherlands. And as you mentioned, this is the first time that the tournament is being hosted by a middle-eastern nation. We don't know how the local conditions will impact the performance of the participating teams. Anyway, at least for the first few days, I am staying away from making any bets. We can expect a few big upsets in the first week.

I agree with you. The World Cup is being held for the first time at this time, in the middle of club seasons, and it will be a great challenge for all national teams.
Most national teams will come to the World Cup without many opportunities to play friendly matches, and because of this, the coaches will not know the state of their teams until they play their first matches.
That's why I expect a lot of surprises in the first matches of the World Cup, but later it will be easier for all national teams, when they get used to the environment and play more matches.
Qatar is really a big unknown at this world championship, but it would still be a big surprise if they make it to the knockout stage of the world cup.

And now there will be one less foreign coach in Croatia. Everybody in Rijeka considers Cosmi as a history and I would say there is 99% chance he gets fired after Dinamo game. That is the last game before WC and whoever is managing our team would be expected to loose anyway. Better to count that loss under Cosmi, then fire him and give new manager a cleaner start and full month to work with the team.

This is to be expected. It doesn't matter which teams a coach was leading in the past, if the team that you lead is sitting at the end of the league table, a coach will be fired. It could be that they simply sold all the good players and signed bad ones but for the manager it's easier to let go the coach than to change the team.

Anyhow I hope that Rijeka will recover in the next part of the season.

The saddest thing in the whole story is that the coach is the least guilty and will be fired because of the mistakes of others, first of all the owner of the club Miskovic.
Miskovic never had a long-term vision for Rijeka, but every year he did a big sale of players and every season Rijeka entered with a lot of new players.
It is always a very risky transfer policy because you never know what the new players will be like and whether they will show the necessary quality.
Former coach Kek was very good at creating a strong and good team from a lot of new players every new season, but in the long run that strategy was doomed and that's exactly what is happening in Rijeka now.
In my opinion, the current coach is doing a very good job, the best he can with what he currently has, and the one who should be replaced is actually the owner of the club, Miskovic.  Grin

I also enjoy Christian Ronaldo's games, but recently Ronaldo's have dropped drastically compared to when he was much younger, actually when he started at manchester united and also real Madrid later going to Juventus he also played well, coming back to man u now his performance have dropped but even at that Ronaldo is still a legend and playing at the world cup I know he will do his best.
I don't think Ronaldo's performance has really dropped, I think he hasn't been lucky with the Manchester United squad since this season. At least last season he carried the club on his shoulders and saved them from relegation. The world cup will give him a chance to play where his comfort level is similar to that of Juventus and Real Madrid where he got lots of trophies. The only issue Ronaldo will face is his decline in pace due to age factor but if well feed with good passes i trust him to do quality finishing

When you look at his statistics, a big drop in his game, especially in the number of goals scored, this season is obvious.
The last season was not very successful for him either.
He was not even among the top 10 footballers in the selection for the footballer of the year, which says a lot about the quality of his play lately.
His time has definitely passed and it is questionable how much he can help Portugal at the World Cup.
In the qualifiers for the World Cup, Portugal was only second in the group, behind Serbia, and had to play additional qualifiers, and Ronaldo was very bad in those matches.

Will this be a competitive team for the World Cup?

France has a reputation for being very competitive and now has access to one of the world's largest player pools. Also, despite the fact that Pogba and Kante had to be lost for France due to their ailments, there are still many notable players. Regardless of the fact that Tchouameni and Camavinga are still developing as footballers, they have already proven themselves with their club. Recall that Real Madrid is their club. Rabiot is still around, albeit somewhat unpredictable performance. In truth, Nagelsmann frequently used Kingsley Coman as a midfielder at Bayern Munich. Therefore, despite the fact that they are still extremely young, don't discount their potential and skill.

I agree that France, by names, has very strong team, but they have not been playing at the top level for a long time, as they played in the World Cup in Russia when they were world champions.
At the European Championship, they were very bad and were relegated too early, and at the last competition of the League of Nations, they were very bad and almost relegated to the lower division of the competition.
These are not very encouraging results before this world cup, but it is about an experienced and high-quality national team that knows how to play for the result and win in difficult matches.
However, for me, France is not the main favorite of this world cup.
