Poland heading the game with a 1 nil lead over Saudi Arabia. Not an easy game for the both sides as Poland keeps all hope alive with good defend while Saudi Arabia can't make good opportunities of their chances. Missing the penalty at stoppage time in the first half was one of the draining moment of the team and they will look to push more harder in the second half inother to secure a goal. Poland can't hold the pressure for too long, if Saudi Arabia continue to push in.
Saudi Arabia is still trying to get a goal to equalize. At the moment they are really trying hard to do it and secure themselves in the last 16. The reason is that the win will make them comfortable in the 3rd match later. Likewise with Poland, they have the upper hand now with 1 goal they managed to score in the first half, they also need a win because in their first match they only won 1 point. |

I think we need to see the debut of the top 16 teams from different leagues to see how good they are in this competition.
Even though so far Napoli has appear quite tough in Serie A, what needs to be considered is that the teams play in the Champions League are the best teams represent their each league. This of course will be very different from Serie A, Napoli will meet the opponent who have never before they found in Serie A
Of course the teams in the top 16 are the best teams from their league and also from a group of 4 their teams are the best. The Champions League also cannot be equated with the domestic league where they play, that is an unequal comparison in my opinion. Napoli are playing very well this season, but with the team they will face is a big team that also has the same mission it will make it difficult for them in every game. I want to see how far they can go in the Champions League this season. |

I think he was injured for quite a long time i don't know if they should still be interested in him i don't think bayern need a midfielder in his position especially one who will not be able to play right after the world cup when bayern players return exausted.
After the world cup is over, soon the transfer window will also open again for all teams who want to sign new, better players and of course Bayern Munich itself will also see this as a very good opportunity, although it will not immediately let go of the players they still have. need after the world cup. Injuries are a very big barrier for players who are often used in the team so that the team will still make other options in order to support better performance when players who are still relied upon still have to undergo a recovery period. All teams will take advantage of the winter transfer window to increase their ammunition. And I think the World Cup will be a place for them to see the players who might later become their target players in the transfer market this winter. Indeed, an injury is something that is not expected by all players, but it cannot be avoided because injuries are unpredictable. It's not only in matches that they get it, even in training it often happens to the players. |

Exactly having a bounce of new players without experience will still end up being a wasted energy without combination of experience Barcelona team may not win the La Liga. As it was said there is a need for more experienced players to come in but then the money to get such experience players will be a major problem for the club also. But I have more confidence in the Real Madrid team this season.
Real Madrid is undoubtedly the best team in La Liga. Their team has great experience players. One of which is Karim Benzema Vinicius Jr. Besides, Real Madrid has a good understanding of the team. They have the ability to win the La Liga title. However there should be a good mix of experienced young and senior players in the team, it will help them more and make their confidence better. Young players with very good enthusiasm and energy, senior players with their reading of the game, that is something every team should have, and I haven't seen that in Barcelona. Not infrequently I see young players do provide something fresh, but they still often lose their way if no one guides them. |

Whatever is happening at Juventus at the moment is something to be expected. I don't hate Juventus at all, but seeing juventus performance at the beginning of the season I was a little surprised. I remember when the Juventus board threatened Allegri, this was proof that the Juventus officials were also angry with Juve's performances this season. Sometimes pressure from official and fans are needed when coach failed to give their best.
There isn't a board that isn't angry when their team isn't doing well or even bad, and it's common for them to threaten to fire coaches if they don't also make changes in their appearance. A coach must always walk with criticism received from team fans or even management, this will build and motivate him to work even better. If a coach doesn't get pressure and criticism, it will actually make it worse because maybe he continues to be in his comfort zone. |

Ronaldo is with Portugal to stay focused until the world cup, and Manchester United will not know what ranking they will finish once in the Premier League. Everything will be answered and we will see the results. Wherever Ronaldo is or if he retires, Manchester United will stay on the right track.
Ronaldo now is totally focused for Portugal and his last Word Cup in his career. I don't know that Ronaldo will get back to his right track after a few terrible months. Furthermore, we also know more about his problems with ageing that he will not be able to avoid. World Cup and today match will be a first test for Ronaldo to show that he is still able to play at highest level. In a few hours we will look at Cristiano Ronaldo's appearance for Portugal in the match against Ghana. I think now he doesn't think about and doesn't care about how he will be after the World Cup because he will focus on the World Cup, because if he thinks about it it will affect his performances. And I think when he came to Morgan he wanted to let go of all the burdens that he had been harboring in his mind so that it would make him more relieved to go into the World Cup. |

The next match will come from Group H between Uruguay VS South Korea. As we have seen in several matches where the unseeded country can achieve surprising wins. This time Urugay is the favorite to win the match but that doesn't mean South Korea will lose the chance to beat them. It is very possible that we will see another surprise in this match, especially since Korea has also sent Germany home from the group stage at the previous World Cup.

Bad news for Barcelona, Lewandowski got a ban from playing in 3 League games. This is because Lewandowski got a red card and was considered disrespectful to the referee. If counted then Lewandowski will miss games against Espanyol, Atletico Madrid and Getafe. Of course they will have a hard time. Currently Lewandowski's statistics are very good, 19 games with 18 goals and 4 assists. But I heard Lewandowski will appeal because he thinks it is not insulting to the referee.
This will affect the team especially with the current position they occupy in the league which requires them to maintain top performance and winning mentality to remain at the top so losing their key man for three games at this point isn't a good news at all. Xavi will have to find a way to cope without Lewandowski when the league resumes and find a way to win these games with the available players at hos disposal. this is not at all good news for Barcelona, his engine is really him I don't understand how a professional can make these mistakes, ok he's making a bad foul. But disrespecting the referee is equivalent to extra days of non-play. Very very stupid. It would be a shame if indeed this is the final decision regarding the ban for playing for Lewandowski. Indeed, on the field sometimes the emotions of players cannot be controlled, so that it will make them act things they really don't want to do. But with the wealth of experience he has he should be able to control himself better and set an example for young players. Because this is not only detrimental to him as a player but also to the team he is defending. |

A star like Lionel Messi is always targeted by news that can surprise many people, because it is processed by news writers based on their own thoughts, not based on the official site, so I ask when there is no confirmation or news from the official site. But wherever Lionel Messi is next season, he won't be as productive as before so other teams have to really understand this if indeed Lionel Messi can really move.
This is a vicious circle - any news inflates the hype around the player and makes him "more valuable" to the media. Even in this thread, 40% of the posts contain the word "Messi" although his significance for PSG and the French championship in general is minimal. Today in the game with Saudi Arabia (lol) he got a score of 6. It is obvious that age has affected him and in terms of prospects he is not interesting. Big names will always be the center of attention, especially now that he is a star player who will soon decide to retire from being a professional player. I personally am someone who does not trust news with unclear sources, I prefer other, higher quality news based on sources and not based on speculation from the maker. But indeed that is the risk of a player who is labeled a star, his movements will always be the subject of news. |

If Newcastle United knows what is good for them they should not think of signing Ronaldo. Newcastle is still building their team and Ronaldo is a heavyweight player who has the capacity to destruct the chemistry of any team that is not organised. So if they make that mistake in getting Ronaldo they will have big problem, the only reason they would like to sign Ronaldo is for business purposes and to boost their shares the more, sell of Jersey but this should not be the problem of Newcastle for now.
Why do so many people think that Cristiano Ronaldo will destroy the chemistry in the team he strengthens. Even though he was able to build a good mentality for his colleagues, I say this because many players who have played with him say this, it means that issues about him ruining the game are something that still needs to be questioned. Regarding the problem at Manchester United at the moment because there is something strange for him in the body of the current regime. |

FIFA World Cup 2022 between two teams England vs Iran will be held play today. But two of these groups are very strong. I think England is stronger than Iran, here England is more likely to win today. The star of England is very good and experienced which is the wonder of football only with this star it is possible to bring England team in touch of victory.
The match has just started, I hope it will be tight and interesting. With the strength that England has, it certainly makes them the favorites in this match. England tried to dominate the game from the first minute and they were hoping for a quick goal against Iran today. Both countries are still looking for the rhythm of the game they want so far. Let's see. |

if ronaldo moves from MU to chelsea, PSG or bayern then he is no longer worthy of being called a MU legend. many people criticize and support whatever he does, but he must realize that the team that first raised his name was MU. if Ronaldo retires at MU then he deserves a MU legend but if next year's transfer market he moves to another club, then he is not a MU legend.
What is the size of a player if he wants to become a legend on a team then he has to retire on that team? lol. The player has the freedom where he will retire, whether it's the team that raised his name or any team that might be the eternal rival of the team that raised him. If you say so, then don't forget Sporting where the team was the team that started his football career. Whether or not he has been named a Manchester United legend, he is one of the players who has been part of the success of Manchester United in the past. |

For you to mention Manchester with city in your mind means that you think Manchester United don't have any chance for the title race you don't have to write anyone out because Manchester United team is good currently and they can do anything. But for now it is Arsenal I trust
Manchester United has a chance to win the title this year?  I will be surprised if they can finish 2nd regarding their fluctuating results and the performance of both Arsenal and City which are way better. Best thing ManU can do is to get a spot for the Champions League next season imo. I agree united are not stable in terms of performance and results they almost drawn against fulham in the last round i think the draw would've been a more fair result i think it would be a good result if they managed to take the third position by the end of the season we musn't forget about tottenham team they had decent results so far. I don't expect too much for Manchester United, being in the top 4 at the end of the competition is something good for them at the moment. Everyone will realize that Arsenal and Manchester City are playing much better than Manchester United, and if someone says otherwise it is a mistake that must be straightened out. Everything that happened to Manchester United was something that disappointed a lot of fans, even many of them had not moved on from Alex Ferguson's coaching era. |

I don't expect PSG's trio to fall apart very soon honestly. They are here for a purpose, to win the Champions League title. I still want to believe that PSG will win this title one way or another. I don't know if they can do it this season but hopefully they will. All the investments into the team shouldn't be for nothing. The Ligue 1 is already too easy for them and there isn't any surprise about their dominating the league. The fans want success in the Champions League as they have Mbappe, Messi and Neymar all here.
I don't expect Messi to leave at the end of the season unless he gets a reasonable offer from Barcelona again. But it doesn't seem likely considering Barcelona's financial condition now.
Their main goal to bring in star players is indeed to win the Champions League title, but before doing that they have to face a team that is as strong as them, even a team that is better in terms of teamwork. What they haven't got until now is a game that combines all the players. Indeed, now this trio has found good chemistry, but they also cannot rely on these 3 players alone, the role of other players is also very important to help them achieve all that is targeted. |

Leicester are said to be interested in Gosens from Inter. He is a left-back and he would be a nice addition to their defense line to strengthen it.
However this wouldn't be enough for them surely. They had better sign at least one solid centre-back as well. Their main problem has been with their defense for a long time. They have conceded so many goals in the English Premier League and this caused them to have a poor run. They are newly fixing things but they still need new players to get stronger. I don't believe they need any attacker for now as they don't have any problem about scoring goals.
If they want their defense to be stronger, they have to reshuffle their defenders. It doesn't have to be all but they can sign at least 2 players in that position. I agree with you that they need to bring in a tough centre-back. But don't forget their defensive midfielder who also has to play well. They can't just rely on defenders forever, defensive midfielders will also play a big role in cutting off opponents' attacks before they come face to face with defenders. |

It's a shame we won't see Sadio Mane's performance with his national team at the World Cup. It is very unfortunate that it happened when the World Cup was only counting the days. Regarding his role at Bayern Munich, they will soon be looking for players to fill the void left by Sadio Mane. With this break, of course, they can be said to be lucky because they can prepare well in that position. |

Bayern Munich have made the Bundesliga like a toy for themselves. The reason why I think in this way is that they can just dominate the season in every condition. This season started much more different than the previous ones for them as you know. They got really bad results unexpectedly and this gave a chance to some other team to shine in the lead in the league table. But it didn't take a very long time for Bayern Munich to gather themselves up. They started to be as effective as they were in the Champions League.
Being able to do this even without a striker like Lewandowski is a proof of how strong team they are. It proves that they haven't been fully dependent on Lewandowski.
Yes, no one can match their performance in the Bundesliga. No matter how good the other teams are against Bayern Munich, they can handle it very well. They were talked about a lot at the start of the season when they had some unsatisfactory results from a weak side in the Bundesliga whose domination was coming to an end. However, in just a few weeks they were able to take over at the top of the standings and now they can even sit comfortably. Not only that, they can also refute their assumptions about Lewandowski with the evidence on the field. |

Barcelona have a good chance to finish their missing for the La Liga title this season. As you might be knowing already, they have haven't been able to win the title for three seasons straight. They are finally performing strongly thanks to Xavi's arrival. Koeman's Barcelona were just a mess back in the day. It was one of the best decisions Barcelona made in the recent years.
I'm also aware of their weakness in big matches. But this is like this only against Real Madrid for now in the league. As long as they become more consistent in the rest of the matches than Real Madrid, they are still closer to the title on paper.
This season Barcelona has shown improvement, Xavi has done his job properly. But to speak the title I still doubt it. Having a two-point lead over Real Madrid certainly doesn't make them safe. In my opinion, Ancelotti doesn't really think that something bad has happened to his team, but Los Blancos' troops are still very confident in La Liga and they will again take the top spot from Barcelona. I am happy when Barcelona can again do very well in La Liga. With that, the competition in La Liga will be interesting again because it doesn't only show one superior team to win the title. Barcelona are eternal rivals to Real Madrid, so it's only natural that they are up there with Real Madrid. I hope this doesn't just last a short time, but they can improve and improve again, because if you see Real Madrid they are full of confidence and also the young players who are currently there are quite promising for the future of Real Madrid. |

I also think that Barcelona really should think about getting rid of some of the players because first of all Barcelona does not have too much money right now in the bank. If they can get rid of some players whom they do not need, then I am sure that it will be a boon for their financial situation if they are able to do that.
And another thing is that players might be able to have a better future somewhere else by having a better amount of playtime. We have seen Barcelona defend well throughout the season, except in the match against Real Madrid. The defense of Barcelona was not convincing against Real Madrid at all. Barcelona cannot afford to do that if they want to win the La Liga title.
I don't understand what Xavi really thinks of the players he has at the moment, the fact that he continues to keep them even though they don't really contribute much to Barcelona. Xavi should have realized that Barcelona's finances were currently in a bad state. He is able to provide income to Barcelona's finances by offering and releasing some of his current players, so that Barcelona's expenses do not swell even more. |

PSG's main goal about bringing Messi and Neymar here as well and building the "trio" has always been winning the Champions League title. Therefore if they continue to fail in their goal anyway then I don't know if any of these players would think about leaving. Maybe not because of lacking the Champions League title but for example Messi might think of leaving at a point. Because he might be still thinking of retiring at Barcelona. But until then I don't see any reason for him to leave.
It is very clear that Paris Saint Germain's main goal is to bring in a lot of star players because they want to win the Champions League trophy. But so far their plans have not worked out so well and they are still having trouble making it happen. I won't be surprised when in the transfer market they bring in Cristiano Ronaldo to join them. They don't care about the money they will spend to get the players they want. But keep in mind that money does not guarantee to bring them a title. |
