Well.. I said that such teams can be effective at times. I am not claiming that they are better than well balanced teams such as Argentina or France. Obviously Wales with a few quality players apart from Bale and Norway with a few good players other than Erling Håland/Martin Ødegaard would be more consistent. But again, at times one-man armies can surprise more balanced teams. Also, I would rather agree with the last line of your post. As the competition moves to knockout phase, it gets progressively more difficult for these teams.

I somewhat agree with you. Napoli's performance is slightly weaker than last season. But their performance is very weak? I don't think so. Napoli have lost only two matches out of 8 matches. Although they lost against Madrid in the Champions League match, they won the match 3–2. Not too many poor performances from Napoli. And so changing coaches cannot be a solution now. No one can guarantee that Napoli's performance will not deteriorate further if a new coach is appointed. That's why I think the Napoli management should trust Garcia. And he should be given more opportunities. It would not be the right decision to change coaches so quickly.

Nice this season is really impressive. Meanwhile, yes Marseille are still not showing any signs of improving their performance, although their last match won but that match against mediocre team. Based on the head to head between Nice vs Marseille, the both have been quite equal in the last five matches. But this season Nice has been very consistent and especially that match will be held at Nice, and I think it is very likely that Nice will win.
Interestingly, the bookies gives quite generous odds for Nice. Currently the odds for this match are Nice @2.37, Draw @3.20, and Marseille @2.90.

Borrusia Dortmund is competitive and have strength to compete with their rivals for the league title. Dortmund shocked everyone when they failed to lift Bundesliga title when everyone assumed they've won the league. Giving up at critical time, I believed they have no pressing concerns during these moments, they were carried away by excitement and Edin Terzic was reluctant with his dealings among his players. It was hugh dissapointment for Dortmund and they would lived to regret it. Perhaps the future holds desirable results which can be earned by hardwork and consistency in games.

Man City can always beat Arsenal but then last week Arsenal managed to beat Man City. In my opinion, the same thing could happen in the Chelsea vs Arsenal match. That is, Arsenal can always beat Chelsea, but it could be that in the next match it will be Chelsea who can beat Arsenal. Although statistically I also agree that Arsenal will actually be much more favored. Chelsea have not found their best performance because Chelsea actually does not have a mainstay striker at the moment. Their consistency is also questionable. So it is not surprising that Arsenal will be favored by many people.

Dortmund last season was superb they did great and almost won the league but this season they're not very consistent and could kill your expectations when you bet on them to win, it mostly ends with a draw, if not they would had been in the 1st position currently cause they're among one of the 3 teams that's still unbeaten, well their performance is not very bad and there's still hope for them to win the title this season cause they're currently in 4th place and sharing same points with Bayern Munich,with just 2 points behind Leverkusen who are the league leaders.

 The match between Dortmund and Bayern Munich would definitely be in favour of Bayern Munich even though they're sharing same points currently, Bayern Munich got a better squad and are more stronger and if you judge from the previous meetings 2018 is in a very long time and I don't think Dortmund would be able to win them.

Messi will definitely play, he is not going to be all that old when he plays on the WC, the only one I wonder would be Ronaldo, I am sure that he will want to play and that looks like a possibility as well, he gained some more shape at Saudi league because he is constantly playing and training, not like when he was at United on his last season, for a summer he did nothing and then when he came back he didn't get proper minutes neither.

However, he will be around 40 years old if I am not mistaken and not like Portugal lacks any players, they could easily replace a 40 year old Ronaldo, don't get me wrong he was their best player ever in their entire history, but that doesn't mean that you are not going to get Ronaldo dropping with age, so maybe he may miss it.

Moving to the SPL is not even in Mbappé agenda currently and even though they come running to him with a more better offer I don't think he'll still accept a move over there, cause he's still young and has a lot to achieve at the European league moreover the only benefit he'll get from the Saudi Pro League is the financial benefits that comes with a move there, considering a move there wouldn't be very beneficial to his footballing career.

 The league is still developing and it not very competitive as the European league, even have fewer viewers, however football is not all about money he's still needs to achieve other titles and trophies like the UCL trophy and Ballon D'or title which he'll never be able to achieve if he moves over to the SPL, well I believe they'll still try to tempt him with a better offer in the next window but I doubt if Mbappe would consider a move there.

Having losses and continuously playing for the reason you want to recover your money are certainly not right and we all know that. However many gamblers can't refrain themselves, that's a fact. Well, some of us are still playing despite of losses but still able to play in moderation. Why? Because our main desire is to have fun.

But this is not the case if your intention (that's why you're playing) is to double your money. Just quit, that's the right thing to do for gamblers who are looking for profit. Find a decent job and forget about gambling because instead of gaining you'll only lose your money if you have no discipline.

Yep. It is quite difficult to expect other quotes when a team becomes champion 11 times in a row. If you look at it from this point of view, 1.25 can even be called a generous coefficient. However, if things continue the same way for Bayern, then I will begin to doubt them. They concede a lot of goals (in the Bundesliga this is not the case, but in the season on average yes) and so far their results are very far from the expected dominance.
As for Stuttgart, they have no chance in the long term, but it will be interesting how long they can stay at the top. Bayer is naturally the more serious contender.

Abha did put up quite a surprising resistance in that match. Even though Abha's ranking in the standings is really very different from Al-Nassr, in reality they are able to make Al-Nassr difficult.
In fact, the number of shots on target that Abha and Al-Nassr had in that match was also the same, namely 6 shots on target.

But a draw seems fair enough for the match. But I imagine that if Al-Nassr wins that match and gets 3 points then of course now Al-Nassr will be in a better ranking, namely at 2nd place. But being at 3rd place is also quite good. It's just that the points Al-Nassr currently has are the same as Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli. Which makes everything possible in the next match. changes in the standings will really become more fierce.

You may have a point about giving Garcia time but will the board and fabs be willing to exercise much patience with him? Don't you think that was the main reason behind Luciano Spalletti throwing in the towel after winning the Scudetto last season?

Losing to Real Madrid, I felt they would start dropping points but they have decided to make a good show of the chance they have. They won against Cadiz which showed they meant business and want to stay longer than we have predicted.
I will wait untill halfway of the season before I can judge or give a good conclusion.

Since Lewandoski and some players would be absent, Barcelona is likely to play a first half draw or we shall witness less goals scored in the first half. More like it was against Porto during the Champions League.

It's like Lens has lost its soul and is still unable to stabilize in Ligue 1, but I think they will still try not to be relegated this season. From the start, Lens was an underdog team and perhaps since last season their name has been worth considering because they have succeeded in becoming PSG's competitors in the top flight. But they cannot maintain these results again this season and the results can be as we see now, they are having a hard time winning and most of the time at the start of the season they have suffered too many defeats. This makes their position unsafe and even so it doesn't change the fact that they are still a strong team this season but they do need more time this time to recover.

Football, you play with our feelings so much! Ittihad is still hurting from their second loss, while Al Nassr is sauntering into their spot, even though they only tied a game against a team that looked like an easy win. I get it. We were all expecting to win against a "weaker" team like Abha, but it ended in a tie. But isn't that what makes the sport so great? When what everyone thinks is the underdog scores a goal despite the odds being against them. It really warms my heart. Yes, the tables turned in a way that no one saw coming, but isn't that what keeps us all hooked to our screens every week?

It's quite strange in my opinion if someone says that if he can win the world cup again it won't bring anything for him, because of course it will give something extraordinary for his career, because winning one world cup trophy versus two world cup trophies is a very different thing in terms of anything including financial and records that will probably last a long time before another player can match or even break them.
However, whether Lionel Messi plays or not is a mystery and if Lionel Scaloni still calls him, it means he still has strong value for the Argentine squad in the future and of course with careful consideration considering that Argentina is a country that has quite good player resources.
