For now it has started to seem to me like PSG are getting more favourite in their matchup against Bayern Munich. The recent injury news are making me think like this. Because Neuer is out for the rest of the season and Bayern Munich might not be comfortable in defense if they don't fill his place with a reliable goalkeeper.
In addition to that Mane is also injured and it is possible not to see him in the first leg. Because he might not be ready until mid February at least. Of course the team don't consist of only these players but these are both crucial players for the team. PSG had better do their best to keep the trio healthy until then.
Neuer certainly will not playing and it is confirmed he will ended this season early but for Mane i think there is a chance to this player to recover considering first leg will be held on February so in the next 2 months maybe Mane will playing although there is no official statement regarding Mane current conditions but lets assume if these players cannot be played on the first leg against PSG and for Mane position it shouldn't be a big problem for Bayern because they have several players who can be replace his position on the team but looking for Neuer replacement is a bit hard for Bayern because so far Neuer always be playing for almost each matches in all competitions so lets see how Nagelsmann will overcomes this situation |

I can't predict who's winning between Morocco and Croatia. The two sides played very well both In the knockout stage and the semifinals. Though Croatia has the upper hand based on experience, I think Morocco's last play in the semi-finals tells that they wanted to reach the end of the tournament, as such, they will leave no stone unturned while playing the quarter-finals. All I know is that the side with a better game plan will win the match.
I pick croatia over morocco. Croatia has greater chance to beat morocco to get the third place in the world cup. The defensive line of croatia is far greater compared with morocco. The problem is croatia must face argentina which is on fire now. I guess that if this time croatia become more favorite compared with morocco by bookmakers by giving it small odds but both were almost equal between one to the each other. It's really hard to predict caused by sometime morocco was also making a surprise. Croatia current odds was @2.36 and Morocco @3.05 and this makes Croatia has slightly the favourite than Morocco in this match and indeed most of people will predict Croatia will going to win the match because they are more experience to playing at world cup more than Morocco but you might be still remember both of teams have been met at group stage and they were share points with gets draw result before so possibly the results of previous matches will be repeated again tomorrow considering Morocco has good defense too and if this match ended draw at normal time and continue with penalty kick i think this is interesting to see because the goalkeepers from both of teams were equally good |

It's actually better, at least there he still has fame rather than forcing himself to be in the European domestic league especially with the price and salary I think it's difficult to find enthusiasts this time.
His contract will expire in 2024 but looking at the current conditions it is not impossible when Bale's condition in Madrid could also happen to Hazard, which actually can be said while he was in Madrid this was really a failure.
When Eden Hazard wants to move to Inter Milan, he will have to consider the performance of his game because currently Eden Hazard is often injured and will reduce his contribution on the field. At least Inter Milan must consider that in the future so they don't lose out when they already have Eden Hazard. Hazard cannot earn trust from Ancelotti to play regularly with Madrid because often to gets injured and before this rumour appears i thought he will going to retired but apparently some of teams still interested want to used him and indeed besides MLS the latest rumour is Inter Milan want him but not for this winter because Inter probably will bought him this summer and currently they still monitoring him because they want Hazard can playing consistently until end of this season or at least he didn't gets another injured again so Inter might be will give him a contract however some people believe with his game of style Hazard will be suitable to joining Serie A teams |

The revenge mission will be carried out by Argentina, because what we know is that they lost in the round of 16 in 2018 to France, at that time France won over Argentina with a score of 4-3, and will meet again in this year's World Cup Final, of course not included. Does it make sense, that these two countries will meet again in the Final Match, it is certainly difficult to predict bets, it is likely that France will win the World Cup again this year, hopefully this will happen because the French players are more everything than the Argentine players.
Of course, Argentina has a chance to win the final, let's not forget that the World Cup in Qatar was missed by such stars as Benzema, Pogba, Kante due to injuries, and with them the French national team would be an absolute favorite, but even now it looks harmonious and is a real contender for victory and Argentina will not have it easy. I think that France will defend it's world champion title. Argentina is a great team but I think that France is a better team. I know that the whole world want to see Messi lifting the cup but I think that Lloris will be the one who will lift the cup. Overall I think that France have showed much better performance than Argentina and they deserve to win the World Cup. This would be interesting to see because since modern football era there was no team who can able to gets 2 times streak champion even mostly previous champion always be failed at group stage and this year was different France can qualified to final match with smoothly unlike Argentina who through this competition with penalty kick against Nederlands but France can beat all of their opponents only with normal time but don't mean France is stronger than Argentina because i think both of teams have equal chance to gets the trophy so lets see later who is the better team and can lifted the trophy at the end of tournament |

Inter just have such a potential in this season but they can't reflect this on the standings. Otherwise they are the second most effective attacking team in the league right now. The number of goals they have scored is nearly the same with Napoli. But they haven't been doing good in defense I'm afraid. They have conceded so many goals which dragged them down.
However there is still a long season ahead. Even if they don't catch up with Napoli they can still finish the season at the second position actually. They just need to improve their defending and this will help very much.
Inter the previous seasons were more powerful. This season they were doing good but not enough. They lost many top players throughout the years which made them more vulnerable... I don't see them first in the actual version of scudetto where they have rivals like Napoli Inter was very productive this season that they are as the team with the most goals along with Napoli but their defense is so poor and from 15 matches Inter only can able to gets 3 times cleansheet and besides that many things has change why Inter performance is not so well this season that from the departure of several important players such as Lukaku to Chelsea and changed manager from Conte to Inzaghi Last season runner up position is good for Inter considering Inzaghi only 1 season to train Inter and Copa Italy trophy also indicated Inzaghi seems promising coach for them and that's why the management has decide to extended his contract but now 11 points below to Napoli makes Inter out from race title because it's hard for Inter to playing consistent such as Napoli and maybe second position or third positions will belongs to them at the end of season |

It's a shame that a club as great as Sevilla can be below the relegation line this season. I checked the standings list and it turned out that even in the top 10 the name Sevilla was gone. Indeed, Sevilla players lack motivation in playing football and it's only a matter of time if they can't change the mindset that each player will drop to La Liga 2 next season. But I think they will be able to get up considering that the first half of the La Liga season will continue soon and they really need to get points in order to move up to a better position.
Sevilla are in the bottom three and that keeps them from qualifying for the next match. At least this should be a lesson for the Sevilla coach so they can learn and try to improve the quality of their game and get another chance to return to the top 10 next season. If you look at the depth of Sevilla's squad, there are great names that shone at the 2022 World Cup, the best goalkeeper for Morocco at the moment, Yassine Bounou and Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri, both of whom fully contributed to bringing Morocco to the semifinals. Then there is Isco, Ivan Rakitic and erik Lamela they are all great players who have played in big clubs before. Source: https://www.laliga.com/en-GB/clubs/sevilla-fc/squadSo what needs to be fixed here? It seems that this is the responsibility of coach Sampaoli who cannot take advantage of his players, if Sevilla want to move forward again they must at least get a new coach who is great at setting up a strong team strategy. Their mentally should be fixed because almost for each matches in Laliga Sevilla players looks lack of motivations to wins and as the team who finish at champion league zone last season Sevilla performance is not reflected they have decent players on their squad moreover changed manager in the middle of competitions also the main caused why Sevilla still struggle to avoid relegation zone even the current manager can't do more to lifted up Sevilla performance besides that Sevilla problem is their striker still cannot found their shape and it proven only Rafa Mir who can able to performing well After world cup it might be will change Sevilla performance because as you can see some of Sevilla players can perdorming well on world cup so i assume they will resumes their good performance and bringing Sevilla to avoid relegation zone and there is still time to improve their position in the league standings considering that La Liga has just entered its 14th week |

The transfer window is closing in and I have started to be wondering about what moves Newcastle are thinking of making now. As the World Cup is about to finish soon the teams will start focusing on their next matches directly. Meanwhile the winter transfer window is also going to be open. Newcastle have impressed with their performance a lot so far. I presume many of us weren't expecting them to have a run like this in the league with an average level of squad. They have a really big potential for the rest of the season also.
However they need to support this amazing form with some new decent transfers also. Because maybe they might not be able to keep the same level of effort with the same lineup in the rest of the season. Adding some new solid players would keep them powerful. It would still be not easy to convince top players maybe. They might need to finish the season in top 4 to do it easier.
Until now there were no recent news for Newcastle target players because this team were lack of rumours to upcoming transfer window but to support the current squad in my opinion they have to buy at least one or two famous players and i think it's necessary because after international break ended Premier League will be more competitive because i am sure some of big teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool or Chelsea will attempts to improved their weaknesses with buy new players But at least Newcastle has successfully to gets Australian youngster Garang Kuol from Central Coast Mariners that this could be potential buying especially after he makes his debut match on world cup and he also recognized as one of the youngest player who makes his debut in this tournament in the history after Pele |

Despite not the most impressive match with the national team of Morocco, when the French national team for the absolute majority of the time just stupidly defended the minimum advantage,
Morocco looks depressed since 1st half, they look different from when meeting Portugal before, I don't know what happens, maybe the news make them depressed and shape them to how to make the surprised again. So far, France look enjoys, maybe because the factor and experience make them impressive and make the chance to create more goals from the beginning. Morocco also shows us they are not an insignificant team, they always fight and try to how to get the win. I have to say it's different class that Morocco has met one of the strongest team in this tournament France so they are clearly different than Portugal especially France as defending champion so they had good mentally besides that squad quality of France is far to better compared to Portugal but a bit surprised to see Morocco can able to control the game and France statistics yesterday is similar such as they against Tunisia on group phase apparently France was always be hard struggle if against the teams from African countries however although Morocco lose i think during this tournament they had displaying good performance and as dark horses team who always be underestimated Morocco can prove that they can get this far |

Since bought from Manchester City to Barcelona Ferran Torres didn't have much time to gets more minutes to play in this team and this because he lose to compete with other players such as Dembele or Ansu Pati for forward lines so he will taking possibilities to left Barcelona if there is good offers to him and rumour is Torres currently into Arsenal watchlist and Arteta actually want him since Torres was playing at Valencia even he feel Torres is one of potential young talented player so this January he will attempts to buy Torres and if this rumours is true i think the possibilities for Barcelona to release this player is quite high considering Barcelona required money to gets more player this January

Everyone thought last night's game would be tough, but it was a very easy game for Argentina.
I never thought that the game would end with this score.
There is MOROCCO - FRANCE game tonight. France will win 99%.
I hope France wins the cup.
Indeed i expect Croatia can performing well such as against Brazil but i was wrong about that because Croatia performance is so poor yesterday even Messi alone can break their defense but Croatia still have a chances to ended this tournament with 3rd position so they will wait their opponent today whether it Morocco or France but from whole sides obviously France is better than Morocco and as the favourite too the bookie provide odds for France @1.55 this actually not quite low but France during this tournament was quite sharp that almost for every matches France can able to scoring 2 goals or more so besides France win i think over 2.5 goals might be good choose for betting purposes |

With Gabriel Jesus out due to injury, Murdryk will be essential for Arsenal, his presence in the team will give Martinelli the chance to play in the middle, the position Jesus was playing before injuries. There are also rumors that Joao Felix may also be joining Arsenal in January since he is leaving Athletico Madrid in January. I believe these two players on the top of transfer list are very important targets to ensure that we finish this season the way we started, which is on the top of the table. If Edu and Arteta can also look towards getting another solid Defensive Midfielder to assist Thomas Partey, that will be great as well. Joao Felix NewsAs I expected, Arteta is eyeing another talented young player and if Joan Felix is indeed being targeted by Arsenal I'm sure it's the right decision. At this time, it is not certain that Gabriel Jesus will recover in a short time, considering that the injury he received was quite severe it is very unfortunate that Jesus is already dominant in his position. Arsenal can still close Gabriel Jesus position for a while. Arsenal will continue to increase its strength to really ensure qualification for the Champions League. Targeting talented young players like Joan Felix is the right decision, apart from needing a replacement who can replace Gabriel Jesus, Joan Felix can be used as a long term project for Arsenal. Arsenal need to maintain squad depth to keep up their chances, Arsenal have been at the top of the EPL standings for a very long time and are one of the top teams in the Europa League. Arteta needs to maintain and increase Arsenal's strength to win a Trophy while maintaining the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League next season. Before Gabriel Jesus got injured actually Arsenal wasn't interested to him but now they had decide to joining the race to gets Joao Felix and after performing well at world cup some of teams indeed interested to him such as Aston Villa or Manchester United but reported Aston Villa has withdraw from this race because of financial problem and regarding Arsenal this team actually want to bought him in January but if price tag is too expensive probably Arsenal will take other options and will attempts to gets him with loan options for 6 months duration so lets see which option will he choose or he might looking for other clubs instead of Arsenal |

About transfer, I did not find good striker who is able to replace Benzema and has a high level like Mbappe and Haaland. Could you share any world class striker who is young too in your mind, please.
if Madrid wants to get a quality striker with the good quality of Benzema, it will be difficult this season. some sharp strikers are hard to come by easily. hard to admit, but maybe Madrid should keep their current squad until the end of the season. if you want to add, I think the option is to look for an attacking midfielder who maybe can cover for Benzema or push Vinicius or Rodrigo. although with this formation, Madrid still can not score goals productively. Real Madrid will looking for new striker in January i am sure about that but indeed on winter transfer window it's hard to gets good quality strikers because usually some of clubs weren't sell their players in January and most likely they will sell their striker after league ended or on summer and to cover Benzema position actually Real Madrid still have Rogrygo although he is more likely as a winger but Ancelotti was playing him for centre striker several times and the result is not really bad although he cannot playing well on that position such as Bemzema but i think this is good option for Real Madrid and assuming if Real Madrid failed to buy striker and Benzema still got injured i think this option can be used by Ancelotti for every matches |

Liverpool still have plenty of time to recover, but it may be desirable to get another good striker in the winter break.
Liverpool definitely don't need a striker, they have Darwin Nunez and Firminho already, so i am pretty certain that they would not be in the hunt for a striker in this winter transfer window, what Liverpool need right now is at least two young midfielders, they really need to reshuffle their midfield with some fresh and talented legs, i heard they are interested in Bellingham, but that deal is going to be pretty difficult to pull off, the kid is wanted by almost every big team in Europe, teams i am pretty sure Liverpool can't compete with in terms of funds available for spending. Having said that, Liverpool might as well need a winger in this window, Diaz suffered a setback in his recovery from injury and he is set to spend a longer time 'on the sick bed' and away from the game, thus a replacement is a brilliant idea. That's true Liverpool doesn't need new strikers because the current players is enough for them and before winter transfer window opened Liverpool has linked to several midfielder players and i think it's proven Klopp looking for new midfielder players only and Bellingham indeed could be a good player to buy because during with Dortmund he has displayed impressive performance but considering expensive price and Liverpool have to compete with big clubs which have a lot of money such as Real Madrid i think it's hard for Liverpool to gets him Liverpool indeed really required new potential midfielder because some of players such as Henderson or Milner already aged so they have to find new players on that position besides that Liverpool have to extended Firmino contract because in my opinion he has help Liverpool with performing well while other strikers still cannot found their shape |

The penalty has ruin Croatia strategy because after Messi goal Croatia was unable to performing well apparently Argentina know how to counter defensive strategy from Croatia so 3-0 is decent score for them considering Argentina performance was outstanding last night and in this match too Messi has made new records that he is Argentina player with the most assists in world cup along with Maradona and 5 goals during this tournament makes his record equal to Mbappe however this is Messi second final match and looking forward to see Argentina upcoming opponent today

After Manuel Nueur got injured and unable to play until at the end of this season Bayern Munich has linked to several goalkeepers and one of them is Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic that his current club Dinamo Zagreb was open possibilities to negotiation with Bayern Munich and they will allowed Livakovic to left in this January although he has contract until 2024 but apparently Bayern Munich has limited budget to get the player from this position that if Dinamo Zagreb provide expensive price for Livakovic probably they will looking for other players instead of him

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. Marcus Rashford's contract with Manchester United will expire in the summer of 2023. I have not heard of Manchester United's attempts to offer Rashford a contract extension so far. Yes, it's true apart from Manchehster United, Marcus Rashford will also decide which team he will defend more. Erik Ten Hag might keep him, but if he wants to leave then it will be very difficult for Manchester United to hold him, especially since his contract is not going to last long. Last time i heard Rashford has clause on his contract that he can renew his current contract automatically with 1,5 year duration and this clause will activated on January this winter and actually Ten Hag hopes Rashford will accept that clause because currently Manchester United still lack of forward players especially after he linked to PSG and Ronaldo left but the decision is in the Rashford hand that if he accept that probably Rashford will be in Manchester United until 2024 but if he refuse it probably Manchester United will lost him with free agent status at the end of this season |

I don't think that Croatia and France will meet again. Because that's what is currently likely to happen. To thwart the predicament I expect Argentina to be able to overcome Croatia's game which is quite solid. However, Croatia looked very confident and was able to beat Argentina in the semi-finals.
Looking at the current teams who playing for semifinal matches indeed the final should be between France vs Argentina but Croatia shouldn't be underestimate because they had experience playing on previous final and i think Morocco journey will ended on semifinal match that they possibly will lose from France tomorrow but the most unpredictable result is between Croatia vs Argentina that although Argentina is the favourite but beat Croatia will be so hard for them and i think whoever the winner of this match probably with slim score and besides that if the match ended again with penalty kick i think Croatia have good chances to win the match considering since 2018 Croatia was never been lose from penalty kick |

AS Roma are reportedly interested in the Japanese national team player, Ristu Doan, who is competing in the World Cup. He scored 2 goals in the World Cup with Japan and was able to lead his country to the round of 16, even though he had to be eliminated because he lost to Croatia. In Freiburg itself he is a player who gets regular playing minutes and has played 15 times by creating 4 goals and 2 assists so far. But no deeper news has been heard, it's just that AS Roma is reportedly continuing to monitor the player who became the top scorer for the Japanese national team at the Qatar World Cup.
During this season Ritsu Doan performance is so impressive that after transfered from PSV to Freiburg this summer he can adapt quickly with his current team and bringing Freiburg reach to second position under Bayern on Bundesliga and he was performing well too at world cup with scoring 2 goals at that tournament and bringing Japan qualifed to round of 16 so i am not surprised if Roma putting him into their watchlist and possibly will bought him from Freiburg and he is the typical player who able to playing well at different positions such as wingers or second striker so if Roma really bought him this will be a good advantage for them |

leicester city is one of the clubs that had a pretty bad rally at the start of this season but slowly they were able to get up and give victory after victory in the matches they had played. leicester city had slumped to the bottom of the standings and there were also rumors of fans wanting leicester city management to dismiss brendan rodgers from the coaching chair, but brendan rodgers was able to provide several wins that made leicester city able to get out of the relegation zone.
I hope Leicester City can continue the winning trend in matches this season because they need consistency and support from the fans to be able to improve their ranking in the standings table. maybe brendan rodgers will try to bring in some new players in the transfer window.
Leicester has fundamental mistakes that they always be sell their star players since several years ago without buying decent players and this make team performance is not stable and last time they selling Wesley Fofana to Chelsea but luckly their new player Wout Faes has performing well and can able to replace Fofana position in the team and Leicester is the team will lack of new players because the management hasn't give enough funds to buy players on summer but Brendan Rodgers was very clever that he can utilized the current squad to bounce back and for this winter buy new players is necessary for Leicester if they want to survive on Premier League moreover they will losing Vardy who got injured |

There was interesting fact about the match Argentina vs Croatia that the captains from both of teams Messi and Modrid already tasted final match that Messi on 2014 and Modric on the last world cup and they were failed to gets the trophy because at that time Argentina lose from Germany and Croatia was lose from France so i am curious which player will reach the final match for the second time however Croatia has displayed strong defense during this tournament that their players is so discipline to guard their defensive lines so this is big challenge for Argentina that whether they can break the defense of Croatia or not
