Ukraine's future depends on how much the West are willing to help them militarily. So far, the West has not helped them enough. With enough of the right weaponry, do you not think that Ukraine can turn this war in their favour? There are many men willing to fight to defend Ukraine and Europe, they just need more weapons, fighter jets and tanks. Kicking Russia out of Ukraine and them joining NATO is the only way Ukraine will be left alone. What are the alternatives to this? Ukraine keeps fighting with not enough weaponry, fighter jets and tanks and continues to lose more lives without making much headway on the battle fields. Or Ukraine tries to sign a peace-deal with Russia for a ceasefire, which will inevitably involve Ukraine accepting the Russian presence in Ukraine. This option will definitely mean that Ukraine never gets left alone. Ultimately, any potential peace deal will also give Russia time to regroup and attempt further attacks at gaining more Ukrainian territory in the future, as Russia has proven time and again that they cannot be trusted. It's a real sad situation that we have in Ukraine.

They have no regard for the innocent, they are destroying Ukrainian cities with their missile strikes.

Another shock result in the competition, as Algeria lost to Mauritania. The only goal of the game was scored by Mauritania's Dellah Yaly. Mahrez and company have been knocked out early in the competition. Mauritania 1-0 Algeria Angola beat Burkina Faso 2-0 as goals from Mabululu and Zini secured them victory and 1st place in the group. Angola 2-0 Burkina Faso

Australia and Uzbekistan drew 1-1 in a closely fought match. Australia took the lead through a penalty goal by Martin Boyle, while Uzbekistan managed to equalise from a header by Turgunboev. Australia knew a draw was enough to see them top the group and that's how the match ended. It's a shame that Uzbekistan's star player Eldor Shomurodov didn't make the Asian Cup cut due to injury, he would have added a lot to the Uzbekistan attack. Australia 1-1 Uzbekistan In the other match in this group, India lost their 3rd match in a row after they lost narrowly to Syria by a 1-0 score-line. Omar Khribin scored the only goal of the match and the win was enough for Syria to clinch 3rd place in the group and qualify out of the group. Syria 1-0 India

Why is their team dickheads? That's a bit of a silly thing to say. You can't just say it should have been 4-1 because you feel like it, VAR disallowed goals and VAR was correct. The goals shouldn't have counted and VAR was accurate. That's exactly why we have VAR. It's like saying the UAE should have won because they actually missed a penalty that they should have scored from and they also created other chances to score, they had more shots on target than Iran. At the end of the day, 2-1 was the final result and the fair result. Iran are heavily reliant on Taremi for good reason, he is by far their best striker and their best player. Azmoun unfortunately seems to miss most chances that come his way, unlike Taremi.

Where's the ambition at your club?

PSV Eindhoven's young Belgian winger Yorbe Vertessen, is close to joining Union Berlin. Both club sides are apparently close to agreeing a deal. Union reportedly poised to complete Vertessen capture (bulinews.com)

Meant to write Forest, my bad.

Danny Ings joining you guys hardly sets the pulse racing, especially at this stage at the tail end of his career.

I think Reyna would be an excellent signing for Palace. Incredible to think that he is still only 21 years old, as he has been playing at the top level for quite a while now. I think it would be a good move for all parties involved, as Reyna has struggled to break into the Dortmund side and he has been there for a few years now. It's probably time for him to move on.

If that's true, that's incredible news. Valencia have actually had a decent season so far and will probably look to finish in the top 6. This news is further good news for them, if it comes to fruition.

In today's games, Senegal won again as they defeated Guinea 2-0, with Abdoulaye Seck and Liman Ndiaye the scorers. Senegal 2-0 Guinea In the other match, Cameroon beat Gambia 3-2 with Ekambi, an own goal by Gomez and Christopher Wooh the source of Cameroon's goals, with Jallow and Colley the scorers for Gambia. Cameroon moved into 2nd place in the group after this win just behind Senegal. Cameroon 3-2 Gambia

Syria are a dogged team, but nothing special even at this level. They barely beat India 1-0, they will just be happy that they qualified for the next round having finished 3rd in their group.

In today's matches Iran beat the UAE 2-1 with Mehdi Taremi scoring both Iran's goals and Yahya Al-Ghassani scoring the UAE's goal. Iran 2-1 UAE In the other match Palestine beat Hong Kong easily 3-0 but finish 3rd in the group due to goal difference. Palestine 3-0 Hong Kong

Juventus

Cape Verde have been a decent side for a while, but Mozambique have really surprised with their performances against Egypt and Ghana.

R.I.P.

Qatar managed to beat China 1-0 in their match today, this is despite Qatar fielding their reserve side. Qatar had already qualified having won both their first two matches in the group. However, even their reserves managed to defeat a China side that needed to win today to ensure qualification. Qatar's goal was scored by their striker Hassan Al-Haydos. Qatar finish top of the group with a 100% record, as they won all 3 group games and they advance to the next round. Qatar 1-0 China Tajikistan defeated Lebanon 2-1 to seal their qualification to the next round. Lebanon took the lead early in the 2nd half thanks to a goal by Bassel Jradi. But Lebanon then had Al-Zein sent off. Tajikistan who had 2 goals disallowed after VAR was reviewed, managed to equalise through Umarbayev in the 80th minute. Then in injury time, Khamrokulov scored the decisive winner. The win see's Tajikistan finish 2nd in the group behind Qatar and qualify for the next round. Tajikistan 2-1 Lebanon

Equatorial Guinea destroying the hosts Ivory Coast 4-0, has to be the shock of the tournament so far. Equatorial Guinea ended up top of the group, ahead of even Nigeria on goal difference. Nigeria also managed to win 1-0 in their match against Guinea-Bissau, thanks to an own goal. Ivory Coast 0-4 Equatorial Guinea Nigeria 1-0 Guinea-Bissau

Dovbyk is now the leading scorer in the La Liga and he is also has the 3rd most assists in the La Liga. Not bad for a player who is new to the league and who has missed some matches this season. Dovbyk has really excelled this season and is living up to his potential as this clinical all round centre forward.

Girona continued their impressive form by thrashing Seville 5-1 and move back into 1st place in the La Liga standings ahead of Real Madrid. Girona's star player Dovbyk scored an impressive hattrick to inspire the win, while his Ukrainian compatriot Tsyhankov also scored for Girona. Seville took an early lead when Isaac Romero slotted the ball into the net after a cross was cut back for him in the penalty area. But it wouldn't take long for Girona and their talisman Dovbyk to equalise. Less than 3 minutes after Seville scored, Dovbyk scored with a towering header from a cross, that beat the Seville keeper Dimitrov to equalise for Girona. Only 2 minutes later, Dovbyk scored his 2nd goal to give Girona the lead. Dovbyk shot home a low cross in the area past Dimitrov to score his and Seville's 2nd goal of the match. Dovbyk completed his hattrick just 4 minutes later, as he superbly controlled a long ball punted up-field, Dovbyk then went on a run, beat the Seville defender and then unleashed a rocket of a shot from outside the area past the Seville keeper to complete his hattrick! It was a superbly executed goal by the Ukrainian forward. Dovbyk scored a hattrick in the space of 7 minutes, which just goes to show how important he is for Girona. Tsyhankov, Dovbyk's Ukrainian team-mate at Girona would score their sides 4th goal in the 2nd half. Tsyhankov met a low cross on the run in the penalty area and he shot it past Dimitrov and into the net. In the dying moments of the match, the veteran Uruguayan Stuani, who'd come on as a substitute, would score Girona's 5th goal, as he scored from close range, after a cross was pulled back for him. In the end it was a very convincing win for Girona, as they once again lead the La Liga table.

In the most recent matches played Oman drew with Thailand 0-0. Despite dominating the match with 70% possession and creating many chances, the Oman national team didn't manage to put the ball into the back of the net. The draw means Thailand move into 2nd place in the group after they defeated Kyrgyzstan 2-0 in their opening match. Oman will now need to beat Kyrgyzstan in their final match and preferably score a few goals as well in the process. Oman 0-0 Thailand In the other match of the day, Saudi Arabia beat Kyrgyzstan 2-0. Saudi Arabia took the lead in the 35th minute after a long range thunderbolt of a shot by Abdulellah Al-Malki crashed against the inside of the Kyrgyzstan post, the rebound fell to Saud Abdulhamid who crossed the ball for Mohamed Kanno to emphatically volley the ball into the net in style. 22 year old midfielder Faisal Al-Ghamdi scored Saudi Arabia's 2nd goal, when his powerful shot from outside the area found the back of the net, as his shot couldn't be stopped by the Kyrgyz keeper Tokotayev, despite him getting his fists to the ball. This win was Saudi Arabia's 2nd win in a row, meaning they now go top of the group with 6 points and have sealed their place in the Round of 16, with a group game in hand to play. One would imagine that they will rest quite a lot of their key players for their final group game against Thailand, seeing as Saudi Arabia have already qualified from the group. Saudi Arabia 2-0 Kyrgyzstan

Morocco could only manage to draw with Congo 1-1. Achraf Hakimi gave Morocco an early lead in the 6th minute, as he volleyed a cross from a corner into the back of the net. However Congo managed to equalise, when Stuttgart's Silas calmly slotted a low cross home, after he found himself some space in the penalty area. Morocco 1-1 Congo Zambia and Tanzania also drew 1-1, as Msuva gave Tanzania an early lead in the 11th minute, only for Zambia to equalise very late in the 88th minute of the match through Patson Daka. But this draw, means that Morocco and Congo still remain ahead of Zambia and Tanzania in the group/ Zambia 1-1 Tanzania In the other match of the day, South Africa thrashed their neighbours Namibia 4-0. Tau gave the South Africans an early lead through a goal from a penalty in the 14th minute. Then two very well taken goals by Zwane and then a 4th goal by Maseko completed the scoring. After getting a shock win in their opening match against Tunisia, Namibia were brought back down to earth by the South Africans in this match, as they were really outclassed. South Africa 4-0 Namibia
