A single player ot two players cannot win the world cup when there are countries with strong players in their first eleven and their bench. The problem of Ronaldo unable to win the world cup is because of the country he is from. They don't have the players that it takes to join force with Ronaldo in order for Portugal to win the world cup.

It was in the last world cup that Messi was able to break the curse after playing in several world cup, and he didn't do it all alone. France also have great players, if Portugal players have improved their performance and take the world cup competition a do or die affair, maybe they can win it next season. I doubt if such thing will happen.
This is perhaps the biggest failure of Cristiano Ronaldo, he is unable to change players and win the World Cup trophy. If Portugal had players like France, Brazil, Spain, England, then Portugal would have won the World Cup trophy by now. But what still gives hope to me is that a team like Morocco played in the semi-finals of the last World Cup, but Portugal can certainly show them well with this team. In the last world cup we saw cristiano ronaldo being intentionally benched by the manager for several matches i think it is disrespectful to ronaldo if that doesn't happen in 2026 world cup then he should participate again in 2026 world cup. If a player who has single-handedly done so much for the team has to be humiliated at the last moment, it could not be worse.

-snip-
The current Real Madrid squad is not bad, all the players are in their best form, the arrival of Mbappe makes this Los Blancos squad even stronger as others say, I believe the game statistics have improved again.

The last few seasons Real Madrid's player purchases have never failed, maybe what failed was the purchase of Eden Hazard in the past but now they are investing more in young players who have talent and in the future will have high market value.

What is careful is the arrival of Mbappe for free while last season offered him 200 million this is really a good strategy done by Real Madrid.
I once said that Mbappe is a selfish player and doesn't really care about other players. He seemed to really prioritize individual achievements over team achievements during his time at PSG, so I hope the atmosphere in the Real Madrid dressing room never changes after his arrival. Vinicius, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Mbappe have their own egos, if these players don't get along then the team's performance will never be as expected.

I don't want to see Real Madrid's performance decline after Mbappe is in the squad, of course I hope for a better performance compared to the previous season. Mbappe is a free purchase which is expected to make Real Madrid even more feared in the world as a team, so it is hoped that all players can make a good contribution and work together throughout next season.
PSG and Real Madrid are two very different clubs, at least you can be sure that the kind of things that happened at PSG will never happen at Real Madrid. At least the Real Madrid management will be able to keep their dressing room in order. 

Real Madrid already has Vinicius, Rodrigo, Bellingham and knowing that these three players have a good relationship, Mbappe has signed a contract with Real Madrid, so he will definitely try to move the team forward with these players. Real Madrid's manager and management are different from all other teams so I think there is no chance of this happening.

Xabi Alonso has indeed made many news media continue to report on him because of his greatness in making positive changes to the Leverkusen club. Even though he failed in the Europa League final, we still see everyone's appreciation for Xabi Alonso. Because that was the only defeat for Leverkusen in the season that just finished.

The real challenge will be in the UCL next season. And Xabi Alonso must be prepared for a stronger level of opponent in the UCL. And if you look at Leverkusen's current quality, Leverkusen's potential in the UCL is actually quite good. At least I'm sure this team will make it to the last 16 in the UCL. And even if they fail to qualify from the group qualifying round, at least this team can return to the European League. But I'm sure Xabi Alonso will take Leverkusen further in the UCL.
It's true, he will have an even bigger challenge next season, besides having to be able to maintain what he has shown this season, he also has to show that they can compete at a higher level such as the Champions League. It is a task that will not be easy for him, but I am sure he will try as hard as he can to bring Leverkusen to achieve something to be proud of in the Champions League.
They don't have to be champions, they can show a charming game that will allow them to talk a lot in the Champions League next season. I think that's more than enough for them. Because we also have to be realistic that it is not easy to become champions in the Champions League, especially if the team doesn't have as much experience as teams that are used to being there.

Aside the champions league competition where Xabi Alonso and his team will have to play and prove themselves as champions, they also stand in a tough competition in the league because their biggest rivals Bayern Munich changed their coach and is ready to challenge them to take back the league champions from them, they will have a double fight to fight because they are already in so many competitions already. Xabi Alonso is not new to the champions league competition even though his team is I think he's going to work towards imperting the experience he has to his team Nd make sure the team has a perfect outing in the champions league, the coach will also need to put the performance of his key players in check and ensure they have a solid team that is ready to face a tough season since they will be defending their league title, the DFB cup title and they are also going to experience playing in the champions league where they will have bigger opponents to compete with, the team should get more players to solidify the team of they are lacking anything when the league has not started already.
Leverkusen didn't win the Europa League title this season but they went undefeated in the domestic league and won the league title so they will have plenty of challenges ahead of them next season. The first challenge for them is that they must dominate the local league and in case they qualify for the Champions League next season, they must make their Champions League tournament memorable and they must perform well to make the Champions League tournament memorable. With all these plans, they may have already started organizing their team. How to build the team and what kind of players to appoint in certain positions, they will do this before the transfer market closes, because if they need to buy more players, they will have to do it before the transfer window closes.

But has Goncalo Ramos shown that he can match the playing skills and great achievements that Mbappe has brought to PSG?
I not sure that Goncalo Ramos will really be able to replace Mbappe and of course this would be an ambiguous decision if we really had high hopes for Goncalo Ramos to be able to fill the void and play as Mbappe replacement next season.
Indeed, I admit that Goncalo Ramos is also young and talented player, he has shown his contribution as an attacking player is also quite good, but this will not provide guarantee that he can and deserves to be called replacement for Mbappe.
It not just goals and assists to be able to replace Mbappe, there are several other factors that other players, including Goncalo Ramos, can't have, do you remember what Enrique said during the interview session asking about Mbappe replacement.
It's not a question of replacing or not because in any case for Mbappe with his current condition I don't think he can be compared with some players especially for Ramos because they have different types. In terms of skill and popularity, Ramos still cannot be compared to Mbappe but this is a situation that must prove that PSG will continue to develop even better even though there is no Mbappe there.

They have until now been too dependent on players so that when these players leave it seems as if the club will not be able to develop very well. But in the end we also have to remember that this is a match between clubs where 11 players all have a role not just relying on one player alone and with Mbappe gone now PSG must be able to prove that they are not that dependent on Mbappe even though we know that in the last few seasons Mbappe was the backbone of the team. The last few seasons Mbappe was the backbone of PSG but now they have to get up because Mbappe is gone and it's time to now change the scheme that always relies on Mbappe and replace it with a good cooperation game so that they are glimpsed not only because of Mbappe but PSG is glimpsed because of a club that plays well in terms of performance and cooperation.

As long as psg don't recruit any new players to their club I will consider psg as a weak team. PSG had a significant number of departures last season and then again this season saw one of the club's most valuable and most important players move to Real Madrid, so now the team is undoubtedly a weaker opponent than any other team. Since this team has enough financial solvency and since this team has been able to appoint a good quality manager to their club, I believe that they will sign a significant amount of players with their club this season.

By buying the right players in the right place, hopefully this team will become a strong team again and once again they will be on the field to succeed in the Champions League competition.

Usually the DCA method will be based on your income, because if you invest regularly. Then you can invest weekly or monthly. Estimated average monthly expenses in your household are $100, and $170 if you are salaried. Then you can invest part of your expenses here and meet the basic needs, with the rest of the money you can invest.  
In this case, it is most important that you use an emergency fund, because people can get sick at any time. That is why you must use emergency fund so that your investment does not get lost.

DCA is a strategy for investing in which you can invest consistently every day, you can invest consistently every hour, you can invest consistently every month or every week. If you think you will invest 10 dollars every day then at the end of the week your investment amount will be 70 dollars and at the end of the month your investment amount will be 300 dollars. I used to know that investing earlier means we need to accumulate a lot of money before we invest but this strategy of investing has changed our entire thinking of investing and made investing much easier. In this investment strategy investors can easily invest from any income or from any profession. I think every investor is satisfied with this investment strategy.

Mbappé is still young, with a long career ahead of him. So if he performs aggressively from now then he can perform better later. Mbappe can give Real Madrid a good dream because until now the Real Madrid team has been strong enough, then the Real Madrid team has become even stronger due to the addition of Mbappe to the club. And these titles from the present to the future must be won.


Someone mentioned earlier that Mbappé is not a God and I will agree with the person that Mbappé isn't God and I don't think anyone in his or her own mind will assume or think that the player is one. However the guy is doing awesomely in his young age and that has given him the position he currently hold in the hearts of many football lovers. Mbappé is promising and always try to come through and deliver in his capacity as a striker and his ability to run in a great speed is a good skill for him to always utilize.
There is no denying it because Mbappé is human like us, he is not a god or a robot. However, it is natural that the supporters will praise as much as the one who should be discussed or praised. There is no doubt that Mbappe is the best finisher at the moment, so when the best player joins the best club, it is only natural that people talk a lot about that club and that player. Mbappe has moved to Real Madrid on a long-term deal and it goes without saying that he will surely take his career there in a better position. You just have to wait and see how much Mbappé can achieve individually and as a team.

Adding to what has been responded to you, which day status of Liverpool for the past few seasons, I no longer see them as serious contenders for the Champions League. The lost their ability to contest effectively in the Champions League when they lost Sadio mané. We must come today realization or understanding that there are many other good teams better than Liverpool. For instance, Dortmund and Leverkusen are to me better than the Liverpool of today.

As Doomloop observed, Liverpool just changed their coach, you don't expect them to continue with the momentum of Klopp. It is possible that the momentum could and if care not taken, drop low before they could rise again.

The Liverpool we know today is nothing compared to the glory they use to have. Come to talk of their performance this past season, it was one of worst they've done towards the end of the season, and that fully explains that they might not be in good shape to compete with high probability of winning the Champions league, and it quite unfortunate that the had all their players in good shape but yet their performance wasn't good. However if Manchester City keeps up their good form to next season, they are likely to win the league but it seems their favourite opponents Real Madrid  is cooking and ready for next season.
They failed to qualify for the Champions League last season due to a poor performance and therefore had to qualify for the Europa League where they saw a lot of hope from the fans but ultimately failed to finish the Europa League tournament in a good position due to a poor performance towards the end. Last season they started well in the English Premier League and continued to perform well until the middle of the season but towards the end they performed like an ordinary team which ended their chances of winning the English Premier League title. Although they will play in the Champions League again next season, if there is no change in this team, I have already said that it is not possible to perform well in the Champions League with this team.

Ronaldo has already confirmed that he will play in the 2026 World Cup but Lionel Messi has not made any decision on whether he will play for the national team in the next World Cup. Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are definitely two of the most mature players but the way they are connected to football and the way they have maintained their fitness, I don't think the 26 World Cup will be difficult for them. 

We have accepted that they will retire in the 2022 World Cup so if we see them in the 2026 World Cup it will be a bonus World Cup tournament for us. As a football lover, I would definitely like Messi and Ronaldo to play the World Cup together again.

Previously, we all thought that Ronaldo had really retired from defending Portugal, but it seems that he still feels able to play the last World Cup with Portugal and of course staying at Al Nassr this season is nothing but one of the ways for Ronaldo to be able to maintain his playing performance ahead of the 2026 World Cup starting later, so far Portugal still gives great confidence in Ronaldo and several other senior players,  So indeed we will see the Portuguese squad will be filled with a combination of young and old players later, Messi has previously said that the 2022 World Cup will be the last World Cup for him, but reportedly he also does not rule out the possibility of playing in the 2026 World Cup if indeed his physique and stamina are still very supportive to defend Argentina later.

Ronaldo and Messi are two of the best players in the world and they continue to compete to prove who is the best between them, the 2026 world cup of course we want to see the rivalry between the two players happen again and wouldn't it be interesting if later Portugal and Argentina might be able to meet in the final, so it will also be the final of the rivalry between the two before they really decide to retire from football?.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a legendary player and has achieved a lot of personal achievements in his accomplished career, but apart from winning only one Euro title for his country, he has no notable achievements. As the player he is, it is natural to expect him to have a World Cup trophy next to his name and his countrymen to remember him forever for the World Cup trophy. He started the last World Cup with high expectations but did not finish well. Maybe that's why he decided to play for another World Cup team. 

It's not that he's unfit, he's fit enough to play and he's been performing well regularly in the Saudi league so the team will definitely give him another chance if he wants to. However, if you want to do something good in the 26th World Cup, every player must play with a lot of responsibility and do well only then this star can make the 2026 World Cup memorable

Yes that's right. If explored further, Bayern Munich's problems began when Julian Nagelsmann was fired from the Bayern Munich coaching chair and this was truly surprising. because previously there was no news that said he had problems at Bayern Munich. Even though Nagelsmann is a great young coach with creative tactics in every match, even his dismissal when Bayern Munich was playing well.

So it's not surprising that when Tuchel coached Bayern Munich it wasn't optimal because it seemed too forced, making it difficult to get chemistry with the players. Which ultimately made Bayern Munich end the season without a trophy and led to Tuchel's dismissal. With the presence of a new coach, Kompany, I hope Bayern Munich learns from these mistakes by not interfering with the coach's decisions and giving Kompany time to build a strong squad for Bayern Munich. Next season the Bundesliga will be very competitive because Xavi Alanso finally stays at Leverkusen. Of course Leverkusen will remain the strong team they have been this season.
Every team has its glory days and like Bayern Munich is currently in decline because of the mistakes it made in the past, and what you said is true that the first mistake made by Bayern Munich management was when they fired Nagelsmann.

A tough task awaits Kompany because the Bundesliga is currently very competitive with the rise of several teams, especially Leverkusen, which is making it increasingly difficult for Bayern Muncih to dominate the Bundesliga like it did in the past.
To be honest, I have a little doubt about Kompany because he doesn't have experience, especially now that Bayern is in a slump, of course it will be a little difficult to get this team back up.
Bayern Munich's mistakes are obvious and those mistakes may be why their team performance is so poor right now. Bayern munich changes manager and it is very common for them but this manager change has a bad effect on their club's performance which Bayern munich may not realize till now. Kompany may take charge of Bayern Munich again but how well he will do for the team is still a big question. But Bayern Munich must have faith in this manager and must give this manager time to fully implement his strategy and internalize his tactics. When the players understand a manager's strategy well, it will be seen that each player is doing well in his position, thus the team performance will be better and the team will have a chance to do well in the big tournaments.

However if Manchester City keeps up their good form to next season, they are likely to win the league but it seems their favourite opponents Real Madrid  is cooking and ready for next season.
Obviously their coach has been a big part of their success story all this years and his absence is definitely going to mean a whole lot to the team because they are definitely going to be a weak on some sides, his tactics has always been one that's unmatching as he's always have a better way to approach other teams and always know the best tactics to use to get the best results they can get against any team they meat and minimize their losses.

This season we did expected he was going to have a very fantastic exit by virtue of the the fact that he will be able win a trophy on his exit which would have been a very remarkable one, he was even making a good attempt in that regards in the way they performed this season at some point and I personally was expecting they will even win two trophies, probably the Europa and the premier league trophies.
One season has just ended and the teams have started preparing for another season. It happens every season that when a team exits the Champions League group stage in the quarter-finals or semi-finals, they start planning to improve the next season from there. Manchester City Bayern Munich were the favorites this season but they lost so they will definitely try to do well in the Champions League next season. Real Madrid have strengthened their squad so expectations are high from them next season.
Real Madrid is one of the best team for Champions League and till now they have won 15 Champions League titles, this achievement shows how successful they are in Champions League.  

15 Champions League titles they have won in the past but not like that they have won the Champions League titles in the past and they have maintained that winning streak till now. You said real madrid favorite next season of course i agree with you but i want other teams to compete hard and new teams to do well in champions league tournaments. Think how happy it will be for those who have been trying to win the Champions League title for the last 10 years if they can win the Champions League title. So hopefully next season some new team will take this opportunity and show like this

I may not totally agree with the part of everyone who start investment having the mindset of long term holding , but for the sake of this thread many has know that long term holding and using the DCA is the actual formula to achieve the real value of their investment in Bitcoin, because some newbie or new investor has the feeling that as the invested on BTC they will get the profit as fast as possible, even some still see investment for Long term holding as trading where they will quickly take their profit but true this regular discussion and answering many people question has solved allot of misconception of Long term investment.

The area of investor building an emergency fund this part is a primary thing that is inevitable for any who really want to hold for long term not to put into proper planning as one can't hold for long term with such saving of fund or planned the such to such without tempering the investment.
Whether you believe it or not, emergency funds guarantee consistent investment. Since you are earning a certain amount of money every month, the expenses will not be the same every month. We have some religious ceremonies and sometimes we have to spend money on some important occasions but they are beyond our account and when we have to spend those money but later we don't have any money left to invest. If you don't have an emergency fund, how will you maintain your investment during that time? Investing may be easy but maintaining that investment consistently and sustaining the investment for a long period of time is very challenging and not everyone can take up this challenge.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: June 11, 2024, 05:42:43 PM
Xabi Alonso will make effective planning for his club next season, he's particularly one of the strong pillars of the club and his presence have always matter for the club. Bayer Leverkusen has a wonderful form in previous season, we've watched how Bayer Leverkusen becomes an elite team and always focusing on top goals. When it comes to signing, Bayer Leverksuen will ensure they're grabbing hold on important players and also making improvements because the fierce competitive bundesliga title race wouldn't be considered easy.
The tight competition for the Bundesliga title next season will always be a very interesting thing for many people to see, even though all eyes will probably be on Bayer Leverkusen, who over the last season have caused a stir in the media and Bundesliga fans and other league fans have been amazed. Because Bayer Leverkusen was able to win the Bundesliga title without losing even once during the season (apart from the Europa League) and next season there is still the possibility for Bayer Leverkusen to dominate the Bundesliga again.
The way Leverkusen have finished this season has no choice but to discuss them. Thus, when another team suddenly goes out of the favorites and wins the title from undefeated, it is natural that there will be a lot of discussion about that team. They have performed well this season and secured the title but the journey ahead will not be easy for them as they will face tough opposition from Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich will be very serious from the start this season as last season they fell a bit behind this team early on and they could not recover from that later on. Bayern Munich will certainly not want to drop any points this season and will plan to finish with at least one point as well as full points in every match. That is why the next season will be difficult for Leverkusen.

I see the idea of building up funds first before accumulating bitcoin as a plan that will delay our bitcoin accumulation journey. Instead of trying to build up funds before accumulating bitcoin, you can use the DCA strategy to accumulate bitcoin either weekly or monthly, whenever your money is readily available. There's no pressure to invest in bitcoin; no one is forcing you to do so. The only thing that can make you sell your bitcoin when it's not time for you to sell it is when you use your whole money to invest in bitcoin. You will depend on your bitcoin investment to survive because you used all your money to invest in bitcoin.
Indeed, this idea can delay us in accumulating Bitcoin and it will also make us delay the profits that we have obtained. Yes, using the DCA method in collecting Bitcoin will make it easier for us to collect Bitcoin. We can use any amount of funds and set our own schedule for collecting of course. we have to do it consistently, in making investments of course we have to be able to make our own decisions and don't let other people influence the decisions we make in investing, if we use all the funds we have to make investments of course this will make it difficult for us to maintain our investments and it would be better if we could have remaining savings for the needs we need to be able to carry out investments well.
Everyone who starts investing for the first time has the idea that they will employ a long-term plan, but for many, the long-term investment plan may not materialize. Some may fail to invest consistently while there are some investors who end up not holding their investments due to various financial crises. Apart from these, those who end up holding their investments for a long time but definitely get a lot better from the investment. DCA investment method is definitely an effective and simple investment method when it comes to long term investment. In addition to the DCA investment strategy, if the investor can build an emergency fund, the continuity of the investment is ensured. If an investor can invest these two combinations then he can later consider himself a successful investor.

There are only 4 days left for the opening match: Germany - Scotland.  Smiley  The odds I can see on TrustDice: Germany: 1.26  Draw: 5.60  Scotland: 11.00

1.26 is just too low to bet on but I might use it on a multi. I don't expect Germany to lose points here, what do you guys think?

Germany have not done well in recent tournaments. They are not the old Germany. But they will host this tournament. This will be a great motivation for them, no doubt. Also, they beat France and the Netherlands in friendly matches. I think these matches were important for them. I don't expect any surprises in this match. Germany will start the tournament with a win. Because if they don't win this match, they can continue to have bad results throughout the tournament. I think they have to win in the first match. On the other hand, I don't think Scotland are a team that can challenge Germany.
Germany is the host nation and their country is going to host the Euro tournament this season so they will have a considerable advantage. France and the Netherlands will never be easy opponents for Germany. As you said this Germany is not the old Germany but the power of France is still the same as before but it is difficult to defeat them. Germany are in Group A and the other teams in Group A are Hungary, Switzerland and Scotland. Hungary, Scotland will be easy to overcome but Switzerland will not be easy for Germany. Switzerland and Germany are likely to secure the next round from Group A.

I think it's time to make a quick prediction guys , right ? I will start this one.
1st. England ( going with England because in theory they have the best team and also they are a finalist from previous Euro and that should give them a pretty great boost )
2nd. Spain ( I can never count out tiki-taka Spain from actually reaching a final but if they do , I don't see them winning this time )
3rd. France ( this team in theory should win but after losing world cup final , can they regroup to give us another legendary run towards final ? I doubt it ).
4th. Italy ( because they are the actually winners from previous euro and the experience of this team is massive and you can never count them off )
Disappointments? I think Germany and Croatia will not even reach quarter-finals...but this are just my assumptions. Same can be said for Belgium who are kinda losing that golden team they had on previous years  Grin

The friendlies are not a measure, but I don't like England and France's recent form. Unlike the World Cup, in this type of tournament there can be surprises. I think this tournament will be like that.
England are the favorites but it's obvious that they have never won a major tournament. They start every tournament thinking that this time it will happen and then they get disappointed again. I like Spain, we can say they are a tournament type team instead of a league type team. I think they have a serious chance. France can advance but I don't think they will win, they have hard times scoring against good teams. I'm not sure what will happen with Germany, I wouldn't be surprised if they are eliminated early like you said, or if they reach the final. I think at least one surprise team will be in the semi finals though.
Like Copa America it is easy to predict which team will win or which team will do well but in Euro usually no prediction can be done in advance because most of the teams are strong here. Copa America Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, these teams are tough opponents than other teams, but in Euro, every team including England, France, Spain, Germany is strong, so the competition is always more difficult in Euro tournaments. England's performance may not be very good recently but with the squad they have, they can definitely do well in the Euro tournament. France have several star players and their team is well balanced so we can expect good things from their team as well.

Florian Wirtz seems like secured for Leverkusen for at least next season. Normally it wouldn't be much possible but Xabi Alonso effect changed everything for Leverkusen. They started to believe in themselves to achieve any title available.  Smiley  Therefore I also think Wirtz doesn't need to leave already now. He is only 21 years old as well so there is no need to rush while doing wonders with his team.

But in the summer of 2025, it seems like it will be very difficult to keep him. Real Madrid and Barcelona are already monitoring him according to rumours. As long as Leverkusen doesn't win the Champions League title I don't think he would stay.
Florian Wirtz is one key frontline for Bayer Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso will not take things likely with his opponents next season. Bayer Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title with unbeaten run, they didn't record a loss and we know they're the best German club this season, surpassing Bayern Munich and Borrusia Dortmund.

Bayer Leverkusen have other plans to meet up, winning the UEFA Champions League title is their target but they should ensure they're having one of the best competitive squad because this is no newbie title but meant for top clubs.
A great season for Leverkusen. They played fantastic soccer and won the Bundesliga. But the Champions League is unique. Best of the best. Undoubtedly, Leverkusen is good. Their level is below Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City. Not even close. They havent shown they can withstand Champions League pressure and intensity. Thats key. Not just skill, but experience and mental tenacity. Lets see how they do in groups. See if they can handle the big boys. We can then discuss Champions League contenders. But now? Way too early. Far too early.
Leverkusen did well last season except for one match. Bundesliga, Europa League they were single handedly dominating everywhere but as I mentioned in the first line there was only one match they did badly and that one match was the final match of the Europa League. If they could have done better in the final match, they might have had a fulfilling last season. In the last season in the local league, Leverkusen remained at the top of the points table with the most points and they secured the title by going unbeaten, which is why they are going to participate in the Champions League tournament next season. They know that the Champions League tournament will definitely not be easy for them and knowing that they may be preparing for the Champions League ahead. Inclusion of new players in their team is definitely mandatory and it is better to go ahead with the plan to strengthen the team and do well in the Champions League.

As mentioned in few above posts things are pretty clear for the Cristiano Ronaldo to go for the next world cup as his target is having 1000 goals in soccer games with this he could be first player in history who will touch this milestone, and he can do this because his recent performance in Saudi League is impressive and most chances he will be able to have contract until 2026 which could be enough for him to have this milestone in front of his name.


I believe Ronaldo has a great chance of becoming the first player to score 1000 goals in the official FIFA records. Ronaldo is really very difficult to do even though he is old. I also really want to see the two goats compete for the last time in the 2026 world cup. I assume they will use the 2026 world cup as a place to announce their retirement. I think this will be very extraordinary and will always be remembered for all time. Ronaldo's performance was truly extraordinary. Al Nassr failed to win the SPL title but what is great is that he is the top scorer of all time for the SPL. I want to see Ronaldo and Messi's performance for the last time in this world cup.
Ronaldo has already confirmed that he will play in the 2026 World Cup but Lionel Messi has not made any decision on whether he will play for the national team in the next World Cup. Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are definitely two of the most mature players but the way they are connected to football and the way they have maintained their fitness, I don't think the 26 World Cup will be difficult for them. 

We have accepted that they will retire in the 2022 World Cup so if we see them in the 2026 World Cup it will be a bonus World Cup tournament for us. As a football lover, I would definitely like Messi and Ronaldo to play the World Cup together again.

Bayern Munich management will not allow what happened to them last season to repeat itself shortly, so they will sign players that will help them get back to their glory days. So I agree with you that Bayern Munich will be a serious contender to win the UEFA Champions League trophy when it starts next season. It is a pity that Harry Kane joined Bayern Munich at a bad time. Harry Kane put in his best and scored goals for Bayern Munich to win a trophy last season, but Bayern Munich's team spirit was low, which made them not win any trophy last season.

Bayern Munich would had been a top contender for me but they do not have a manager that we can depend on to challenge Real Madrid and Manchester city, Bayern Munich have very good players and a top striker but they can not win, I do not think they will be able to win their league in the first place because other teams will use the opportunity of Bayern Munich having a new manager that is yet to understand the team and the league to play very well so they can win the league. I do not think Bayern Munich made the right choice of hiring Vincent Kompany as their manager. There are better managers without a job that they could have hired and they will be favourites to win. Real Madrid with mbappe is going to be untouchable and they are going to defend their championship league again.
Bayern Munich changing managers every season can definitely consider it a bad decision for them. Real Madrid Manchester City are successful because they have brought experienced managers to their club on long term contracts and the team is being managed under that manager. If Real Madrid or Manchester City changed managers every season I think it would be difficult for them to succeed here as well. Everyone has been a manager in their own capacity so everyone's strategy must be different.

Every season a new manager will come to the club and he will apply his tactics and it will be seen that the players are not getting the right tactics. If Bayern Munich are to do well next season they must first hire a quality manager and if they are successful here they will be successful in performance.

Mbappe has signed a long-term plan for Real Madrid so he will surely win multiple Ballon d'Ors in the long run if injury problems do not arise. The way he plays, he rarely gets injured but injuries are unwanted, they can happen to a player at any time. Injuries have ruined the careers of many players, so Mbappe must play to protect himself from injuries as much as possible to make his career better. He will surely be nominated for the Ballon d'Or if he plays the full season ahead. Winning a major title is usually considered enough to win the Ballon d'Or, so Mbappe could win the Ballon d'Or if Real Madrid win the Champions League again.
Moving to Real Madrid increases chance for Mbappe to win Champions League and Ballon d'or but I can not say about future ahead of time. Mbappe must be healthy, without or with little injuries and without serious injuries that can harm his career and he needs more conditions that Real Madrid play well and win Champions League. In some special years, he needs to play well or win World Cup or Euro title with his national team too.

Many conditions which make chance for Mbappe to win Ballon d'Or is complicated and unpredictable. I don't agree that moving to Real Madrid will make Mbapep surely win Ballon d'Or.

Life is challenging and destiny is not fair for all. Some super star players won Ballon d'Or but did not win Champions League and some win Champions League titles but did not win Ballon d'Or.
None of us know about the future but in some cases we can make some predictions and sometimes our predictions match. At the moment, Messi and Ronaldo are not in Europe so it is a very easy matter for Mbappe to win the Ballon d'Or. Mbappe didn't do well at PSG but will definitely do well at Real Madrid if he doesn't get injured. At Real Madrid, Mbappe will have quality team-mates who will help him score goals and the successful assists he will make will be well finished by the rest of the club's players. Winning the Champions League title is very important for the player who will be nominated for the Ballon d'Or. If Mbappe had come last season as Real Madrid offered him last season, he might have won the Ballon d'Or this season because Real Madrid won the Champions League title this season and if he played the whole season for Real Madrid, he certainly had a chance.
