Something I heard somewhere on TV this week, but I haven't thought about it yet, is that many players are of course doing everything they can to make it to the World Cup. That also means not trying to get injured and therefore possibly taking it easy in the competition. You sometimes see players consciously putting in less effort and yet not going all the way. Understandable in a way, but you're duping your team that way. The last thing you want is to get injured. just look at Wijnaldum at AS Roma, who was injured in the first training and can forget the World Cup. Is there any real possibility that Paul Pogba has recovered in time to compete in the World Cup with France?

That is always the fear that many players have, but what can they do? they have to do their job at their clubs, I don't know about Pogba, but I'm sure he'll be fine for the World Cup, now the one I don't want him to get injured is CR7 just because of the bad times he's going through, I'm sure when he arrives At the World Cup things will change for the better for him, so that would be a lesson that he will give to all the clubs in the world that have rejected him, I really would like that to happen, now if Portugal wins the World Cup, the slap will be exuberant and I think that would be a total humiliation, especially for the current manager of Man United.

Yesterday Portugal had bad news, there will be a drop in weight for the attack.
Liverpool forward Diogo Jota is injured and will not participate in the World Cup.

Will we have more news of the genre in the coming weeks?

You are absolutely right, this is very bad for Portugal, for me CR7 has much more to give, but I don't see it either, it is a great challenge for CR7, for me CR7 is the fundamental piece for everything, now well, I know that CR7 cannot do everything, in fact I think it could be the case that this team is giving everything so that the scorer for Portugal and probably for the World Cup is CR7 and it seems to me that it is a fair deal because all the Portuguese players would be benefiting, that is something that has to be seen from that perspective and that the way to have one more incentive for the players is born, the fact is that a striker is already needed.

although there are still other names such as, Joao Felix, Andre Silva, Ricardo Horta and even Rafael Leao can be placed in Diego Jota's position. even so, it looks like if Jota is absent it is a loss for Fernando Santos. he must look for other options as his replacement, plus currently the Portugal squad is not at its best.

Portugal even has players for that position, such as Gonçalo Ramos. That he is having an excellent season at Benfica, with several goals scored. The doubt is whether Fernando Santos will have the courage to call him and put him to play. I believe he will even be called up, but whether he will be a starter I don't know.

Well, following Gonçalo Ramos' trajectory, I don't see it as bad, he's a very good option, it's also understandable that he will be a teammate for CR7 and CR7 will give him a lot of advice, just as he gives it to Anthony at Man United, I think all of this is part of the great challenge that CR7 has, it's all very controversial, really at this time is when the players should take care of themselves the most, despite the fact that Ten Hag has been so inconsequential with CR7 sometimes I see that he does him a favor by not putting him in the game, because it could possibly be saving him from a serious injury, sometimes the bad has to be seen as the good, I think that's the biggest lesson for CR7.

I find this article excellent, and what fans are capable of giving joy:

World Cup 2022: Wales fans' joy and fears ahead of Qatar

Quote

Not all fans have been put off by the host nation. Thousands are still expected to make their way to watch Wales.

"Four weeks and we're off. We can't believe it," said Sharon Parker from Merthyr Tydfil.

She has followed Wales for 30 years and was in France to see the national team exceed all expectations at the Euros in 2016 when they reached the semi-finals.
