This is the most surprising world cup that I have ever watched, teams you never expect to perform well are the teams leading and making stars in this top teams to cry. We still have more surprises to see in the quarter-finals, no one knows what will be the result of the games.
The under rated nations have been showing their great performance during the world cup. That's just like morocco, japan and south korea which has been showing the good performance to beat some strong clubs. I think that we will see another surprise to come from morocco. It's caused by the performance against from strong nations already made people amazed with it. Ziyech has become the key player for morocco. It seems like he will become the key against france. |

I also think that Manchester United will not just let go, Rashford is very reliable at Manchester United, so Ten Hag will not let him leave Manchester United, which is a fatal mistake because of course it will make Manchester United worse off in terms of attack.
MU can prevent him but he if will be deciding to go out from MU and MU can do nothing about that. I think that MU may start to search potential player as a replacement for rashford when he will be deciding to go out from manchester united. In my opinion that if rashford may not think to stay even longer in the united as united already targeted some new players. Let's see whether rashford wanna try to extend his contract or not. This gonna be a challange for MU. |

It is true that Ronaldo as maintained his place as one of the greatest player in football history, but his present in Chelsea current squad is not needed because already , age as affected his form in his former clubs.As such his playing style is quite archaic. Chelsea as been a club that attains victory through team work play, Ronaldo will not be considered fit for the team.
Chelsea never try to confirm if it was interested with ronaldo. There are only so many rumous but these are just rumours. I will not consider rumour as a thing that's gonna be real as long as there are no relable sources who have been confirming it. Ronaldo itself is still too far to become a candidate as new player for chelsea. It's not just now that we hear rumors about Cristiano Ronaldo with Chelsea. Last summer's transfer market he was much talked about going to join Chelsea. However, the Chelsea coach, who at that time was still Thomas Tuchel, confirmed that he was not at all interested in Cristiano Ronaldo. And it was Manchester City who were closer to Cristiano Ronaldo, but when they were one step away from reaching an agreement, Manchester United came and managed to persuade Ronaldo to return to Old Trafford. The same thing is happening right now. Potter has confirmed he never interested with CR7. I think that so many rumours were just appearing to create the hype. These rumours could come from any parties and we shall wait from the official announcement by ronaldo. Ronaldo itself was in a very bad situation caused by he was going back with portugal after losing from morocco. Ronaldo is in a very bad mood for now. I guess he will be making some confirmation later. There are bunch of speculations about what's gonna be next team for him. |

Tomorrow game against Croatia will determine if Argentina will win the world cup. If Argentina luckily wins the match tomorrow, they will try their possible best to win the finals. If Argentina wins the finals it will be so exciting for Messi because this has always been all he wanted as a legend.
Croatia will give the hardest game for argentina. It seems like that croatia knows that if argentina was always using a strategy to dominate the ball and argentina will not give a chance for the opponent to touch the ball for so long. That means if croatia will be going to the fully defensive against argentina. The parking bus strategy will become a very suitable strategy to be used against a strategy to dominate the ball. Croatia was always fully defensive. It seems like that croatia will try to do that against argentina. that strategy is very suitable enough to be used against argentina |

I don't think with Morocco chance can lead until final stage in Wolrd Cup 2022, have made many people surprised with result matches and eliminated top national team from Spain until Portugal. But I am not sure with Morocco can beat defensive champion last edition France. Let's seee what's gonna happen with morocco. It's better waiting for the match to be started but im sure that morocco will able to make the match become draw. I remember so many people were always underestimating morocco but this team was able defeating some clubs with so many great players on the team like spain and portugal. Morocco may give you another surprise during the match against france very soon. France itself has become the most favorite in the next match. France is favorite national team to be winner in World Cup 2022 after success become the first national defensive champion team lead to semifinal, have many defense national team elimi ated from group stage from 2002 era until 2018, but France can destroy all impossible thing by lead until semifinal.
France was a winner on the last world cup but it doesn't mean morocco has no chance to beat france as a winner on the last world cup. Morocco was always doing so well during the match. |

If the world cup ends we'll know if Barcelona is good enough to win the Europa League, Barcelona is seriously interested and working harder in winning laliga league, Barcelona can't win more than a trophy this season because they are not so strong
Do not conclude that Barcelona's strength this season has only been seen in half of the season. But let's see how strong Barcelona will be after this world cup or when La Liga and Europa League restart this season. Because every team still has time this season to make changes for the better and it's still very early to conclude anything for all the teams in the two different competitions. You're right, it's too early to conclude that Barcelona won't win more than one trophy this season, and it's also too early to conclude they will. Competition is still very tight in La Liga and also in the European League, it will not be easy for them to win the championship which is still very long. Also other teams will not allow any team to win the title easily. Challenges are still waiting for them ahead. I remember that last season barcelona has been predicted to win even europa league but it was going out caused by lose from frankfurt. I think that people shall not over expectation about barcelona. Just let the team to do the best. Barcelona is not yet winning la liga. Real madrid is always following barcelona at the second position. There's no reason for barcelona to get the trophy until the end of season. The fact that it's going out from champion league. Barcelona may get the same result in europa league too. That depends on the result against mu |

Argentina have a tough job to do in the semi finals. Croatia are going to be a very tough opponent for them due to playing a defensive focused game. Croatia are already the last finalist in the World Cup and they want to make this happen once again to finish their incomplete job. This job was with France as they lost 4-2 back then. Croatia will be going all in against argentina. Back then croatia must be going to the final to make the history will repeat again and it must not lose in the final. The problem is argentina was also in the best form now. It can be said that argentina was on fire. Croatia must be careful with argentina as it was always dominating the match with very high ball possessions. Argentina should be able to take advantage of their attacking power somehow. Messi's performance will play a key role of course. van Gaal couldn't stop him and let's see if it will be the same for Dalic as well. I still expect Argentina to eliminate them.
As long as argentina will always be controlling the ball and it will always get a chance to win the match. The problem is argentina's defender must be careful with the problem that may come from croatia's counter attack. Croatia was always using counter attack. |

we can no longer talk about Barcelona's internal problems because this issue has always been discussed since the start of the season but in fact Barcelona's performance has been quite good this season, now they are at the top of the La Liga standings and in terms of performance they are also continuing to improve.
and against Manchester United in February was a testament to them, and I agree that if Barcelona can overcome this hurdle then they are very favorites this season to win the Europa League, and for sure Barcelona this season is much better than last season.
If Barcelona are good this season, how did they end up in the Europa League?  And why did Javi talk so much about his dismissal? I think that Barcelona is nowhere near as good as expected when they invented all those levers to find money for a serious transfer campaign. Judging by the results of the big games, United will be the favourite. It's only doing so well in la liga but not in another competition other than it. Barcelona itself has not yet become a winner for la liga in this season and it's potentially to be surpassed by madrid again. Barcelona was not strong. The result from europa like was also still remain unknown at this moment. It can be kicked out from europa league like last season by frankfurt. People were always calling barcelona was strong but i personally think that barcelona didn't even reached the highest level. I put my choice to the united although barcelona has better statistic against MU |

Chelsea had a plan to exchange their winger Christian Pulisic with Bayern Munich player Kingsley Coman this because Potter hasn't satisfied with Pulisic performance during this season so Potter want new players instead of Pulisic and Potter has confirmed he will put in Kingsley Coman as his watchlist on January and this transfer will possibly to happend although Kingsley Coman has long duration contract until 2027 with Bayern Munich but so far he cannot earn trust from Bayern manager Julian Nagelsmann to playing regular and he has spend this season in the bench so left Bayern could be good option for Coman
that's a good plan but the problem is whether bayern wanna accept such offer or not. Pulisic has been doing so well during the world cup but that's not enough to make potter feel satisfied with his performance. I hope that kingsley will try to consider chelsea as a good team for him in the future. That will be so good if he will able to play in the most competitive league in the world rather than still stay in bayern as a substitution only. Chelsea can pay him with better price than bayern. |

Newcastle are more likely to maintain the position
If Tottenham doesn't perform well they are getting displacement back to six position
Man United are another team no one should trust, they are not reliable, the form they have is not balance
This is still not certain, although indeed in this case Newcastle's condition is indeed very good but of course in terms of quality they will still continue to make improvements and this could be another problem I think. But even if it's like that, it will be very good, regardless of its position in the top standings, so that's very good for Newcastle United's future prospects. Newcastle was just starting and it has not yet reached the peak performance for this season. There are so many times for newcastle to prove if it's reliable enough for now to be considered as the big team. The new owner has been slowly changing newcastle to be the same like city. I remember when city being acquired by a billionaire and that was changing the direction from city. It has gone from nothing to something. The same thing is just happening with newcastle as the new owner has been giving so much money to be spent into the market. That's why newcastle was buying almost 1 full squads last transfer season. I thought that newcastle has not yet stopped to buy new players for the rest of season in epl |

Well simeone always welcomed to english premier league in case atletico planning to sack him for being too constant which yeah the fans as well seems running out of patience , 11 years successful season is not short period indeed but there always a time to say goodbye. Simeone is too long to be a coach for atletico. As far as i know that there are no great achievements from 11 years with atletico madrid. Winning three seasons of la liga and 2 europa league were not impressive achievements for me. At least simeone has been changing atletico into a better club. If simeone's time has come and then he might be ready moving to the a new club or retire as a football manager. In case simeone leave , there a lot of spanish candidates await though.
Agreed and i think that would better for simeone try to take a new challenge in another league. That will give him best experience as a foot ball manager caused by he will be getting a new pressures in the different league. |

Newcastle are more likely to maintain the position The current newcastle was not the same like old newcastle. This time newcastle can be considered as a big club in EPL after it has been acquired by arabian consortium with unlimited funds. That's why newacstle will not go below from top 4 until the end of season. If Tottenham doesn't perform well they are getting displacement back to six position Totenham may not perform so well during the rest of matches in EPL caused by some key players will gone and the new formation needs to adapt with the situation in the club. Man United are another team no one should trust, they are not reliable, the form they have is not balance
MU is still having a competence to compete with another big club for the top 4 until the end of season. The gone of ronaldo has been making new player got a new place. |

Injuries are never pleasant to see. Seriously, Neuer? Neuer broke his leg while skiing and will be out for the rest of the season. He broke his leg while on vacation. As a result of frustration following an embarrassing World Cup exit, I think it was deliberate. However, Bayern Munich won't be pleased. I wish him a speedy recovery and good health.
Bayern has no choice other than using secondary player. Neuer may not able to perform against PSG while mane was also getting the same situation as he has not yet recovered from his injury. it seems like that the frustation that happened with neuer has been making him lose his focus and that gives him injury on his leg. Im doubt if bayern can win against PSG next year if bayern will not able to perform with greatest formation that already owned due to the some main players got injured. That gave more advantage to the PSG over bayern munich in champion league. Bayern may need buy a new goal keeper |

Croatia vs Morroco in the final?
maybe, who is know?
this is the world cup.
None knows about what's gonna be the final. The thing that i do believe is croatia against morocco will be a very interesting match to be seen after we have failed to get a chance final between argetina against portugal. That means the most interesting match that may become final will be morocco against croatia. Croatia itself will be facing argentina. So far argentina was always dominating the ball possessions in any previous match and made many shots on goal. It seems like that croatia can only become defensive against argentina. It's very good to see that croatia was able going to the semifinal with so many dramas in any match |

I think at this point thirty million dollars is a lot for him as he has aged quite a bit. Although I think Manuel Neuer has left his golden days in the past. But I agree that injury has been a significant setback to his career at Bayern Munich. In my opinion, Sven Ulreich is not a suitable replacement for Neuer since he is not that good. I personally think that Bayern Munich should buy other players other than Ter Stegen. I think they should offer younger players.
Manuel Neuer was injured quite badly due to pain and broke his leg in last night's World Cup match. It is likely that Manuel Neuer will retire because he is too old and maybe Bayern Munich will finish his contract without extending it again. Hopefully, Manuel Neuer will recover soon. He was getting injured when playing ski after germany was losing. Neuer may not able to perform with bayern until the end of season. He was getting fracture. it needs a very long time to recover his condition. There's no guarantee he will able to perform the same like before he was getting his bone had broken like that and so that injured will be greatly affecting the performance from neuer. It seems like that bayern needs to find a good replacement for him. |

Question: Which of the teams do you think will play the Final? Morocco vs Argentina - 8 (42.1%) Argentina vs France - 7 (36.8%) France vs Morocco - 4 (21.1%) Total Voters: 19 Please Agbe I don't know if you are the one that set up the poll but you didn't include Croatia as one of the potential finalists. I want to believe it's a mistake, please kindly effect the correction. First, I want to congratulate Morocco for scaling through to the semi finals, it's a big achievement for them and the continent. If there's anything I have learnt from football it is that it's full of surprises. I never thought Morocco would beat Spain, and they did. They did it again with Portugal and who knows they might pull some surprise again  . Also, I won't be quick to write off Croatia. They have been really solid especially the midfield and the goal keeper was really good against Brazil. Croatia might take their revenge on France this time. Agreed and it seems like that agbe was rarely watching this thread since he has not yet updated the pool for croatia. The interesting match between france against morocco will be happening very soon. It seems like that OP didn't believe croatia to have a chance to win the champion league. I hope that croatia will be included on the list. Croatia itself has been specialized in the penalty. There will be possibility if the final will be croatia against one from three clubs remaining like morocco. Croatia was not an underrated team caused by it can go to the semi final for sure. Croatia itself slowly but surely moving up without any doubt. |

how beautiful is this world cup? full of twists. for the moment Morocco is winning 1-0 who knows how long this result will last and who knows if they will be able to win this match! it would be a record for Morocco as they would become the first African nation to reach the semi-finals in a world cup
The goal that already made by morocco was actually unpredictable for sure. Morocco may win the match against portugal but 20 minutes remaining for portugal to make goal against morocco. It seems like that morocco has bigger chance for now to be qualified for the semi final. Morocco has been making my NFT goes to the moon on okex. that's good to see that. i hope morocco will able to go to the final for sure. Only short time remaining before the match will end and morocco is still leading the match |

Real Madrid football is shifting towards the Brazilian football school. They are expanding their roster with talented Brazilian football players. Madrid was a team that loved attack and speed, crushing the opponent with long balls. Together with the Brazilians, i think it will be one of the teams with the most foot pass traffic. Real Madrid have reached a deal with Palmeiras for 16yo Endrick for a 72M Euro package. The Brazilian young starlet will join the Real Madrid squad in July 2024. Endrick will sign a five year contract with Real Madrid on 21 July 2024. Young talent will be in Madrid at the age of 18. Thus Real Madrid will have added another Brazilian young talent to its roster at the beginning of his career after Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo.
It seems like that madrid was focusing to regenerate its players. The striker has become the main problem that has not yet fixed. Rodrygo didn't suit to play as a pure striker and that's the reason why real madrid wants to pay such a big amounts to get endrick from palmeiras. 72 millions were a lot of money for a young player like him but seeing from his potential after played with palmeiras and i think that's not a problem for madrid to priced him with such big amounts of money. Endrick will still able to evolve when he will be regularly playing with real madrid. Will endrick become the next benzema? |

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.
The main competitor of madrid in la liga barcelona was also doing so well in the la liga but barcelona didn't have good mental to play in other than la liga. It has proven with the result in the champion league. Barcelona was going out at the early stage caused by it has been kicking out by intermilan. Real madrid is the only team from la liga that plays int he champion league for now. Im thinking about the real madrid will be starting to be serious to win the UCL again. Real madrid has proven if it can be consistent in both of competition caused by all of its players have very good spirit and mental. Madrid is still having a very big chance to win la liga and UCL at the same time again. The gap with barcelona was not so big. |
