PSG actually don't have a good club management, they seemed to sign top players recklessly without a proper plan on how to build a strong squad as a unit. The don't care about wage structure, they just give big names a big wages while talents in the club have small wage, this creates a psychological gap which makes players feel playing for PSG is just a job, no spirit of belonging to the club.
PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi have a whole lot of work to do this season because he needs players to compete in major tournaments. Paris Saint-Germain will start regretting their actions because the club recorded huge mistakes few seasons back when Real Madrid made substantial offer to sign their key player, Kylian Mbappe but declined the offer and went straight ahead to increase Mbappe's contract with the club and offer him irresistible contract, but looking at what happens today, quite shocking to witnessed.
Maybe it would be better for PSG if Mbappe doesn't stay. If he had stayed at PSG, he might have disturbed the peace of the team because he could sometimes act like the owner of the team. Now the important thing for PSG will be to convince good players to come to the team. Of course, I know this will be difficult, but PSG can use its economic power in this regard. Maybe if they add Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia to the team, they can have effective wings.

I partially agree with you.   Mbappe is very one-sided as we know it. PSG's management has given Mbappe a lot of favors. So Mbappe probably considered himself the owner of PSG. For this reason, he has opposed various decisions of the coach in the past. Mbappe's relationship with coach and players was visible in PSG's squad.   And this is why PSG's performance in the previous season was erratic.   So PSG will not suffer too much if Mbappe leaves the squad if Luis Enrique can find a suitable replacement for Mbappe.

There is no doubt that Mbappe is a very talented player.   And he has the ability to score a lot of goals.   Mbappe is also PSG's main scorer so far. So if PSG can't find a suitable replacement for Mbappe, this negative effect will definitely be seen in PSG's overall performance.

Here we go. Another unexpected thing is coming again. According to the latest rumor, Ratcliff has contacted De Zerbi to be a successor for ten hag if club will sack him. If this report is correct, ten hags will be fired by manchester united. Manchester United fans must be welcoming him as a new coach when it becomes a reality. I know t's hard to accept it.
It's unbelievable that after Chelsea that tries to contact Maresca to be Pochettino's successor. I can't believe it now. im only wondering what all of United fans think about this.

I know that if majority of people may be disagree with it but let's see what's gonna do by manchester united in the approaching days.
I'm expecting some surprising news as soon as possible.


Quote
Former Brighton & Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi has reportedly emerged as a surprise candidate to replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.

I hope that they are going to change the coach at least. he is going to be definitely an improvement for them compared to Ten Hag. Even though I have not seen much from the coach that we are talking about here. but I still think that he is at least not going to bring such bad results as Ten Hag has actually brought for this club. 

but at the same time, I will also say that Manchester United can definitely get a coach who is even better than him. Probably the only problem is that the recent record of Manchester United is not very good and probably that's why good coaches are not very interested in working with Manchester United at this moment.  I just hope that they do not keep the current coach that they have just because they were able to win the FA Cup final.

Leed were better than the Southampton side, their style of play have changed compared to when they last played in the EPL and Southampton only has that slow style of play and getting to draw games me.
Is not about getting that promotion but can they withstand the pressure come next campaign? Is going to be hotter than they felt it before being relegated, coming back means they need to step up and I hope they do because they're not that convincing to last longer in the EPL, but let's see how it will look like next season.
You're right, Leeds is better than Southampton this season, but we shouldn't say that Southampton is the weak team to play in the next Premier League. Many clubs are in the Championship that is stronger than most of the clubs in the Premier League, I believe that Southampton will survive the pressure of the next Premier League because their performance was quite good in the Championship this season, they finished the season in the 4th place, despite that the league is very difficult since all the clubs are fighting to get their chance back to the Premier League competition.
If Leicester can go to the champions and com back I was expecting both Leeds and Southampton to do the same but for them to slack and allow Ipswich to finish 2nd is not cool to me, it pains me to see both teams I would have loved to see back in the premier league going head to head to qualify, it should have been either Ipswich against Southampton or Leeds but the both teams messed up. Southampton can maintain the pressure in the EPL that's true but how long can they manage to do that?


I also thought we would see Leeds United and Southampton in second and third place in the table.   But the performance of both the teams in the last matches of the season was very poor.   Leeds United have lost 3 and drawn one of their last 5 matches, while Southampton have lost 3 and won two.   Southampton could not come in the top 3 of the table due to defeat in these three matches.

But it cannot be denied that Ipswich Town have performed very well this season. Ipswich Town have lost only 6 matches out of 46 matches in the Championship. Also Ipswich scored 92 goals in 49 matches. This is the highest this season. So I would say Ipswich have qualified for the Premier League on their own merits. This team is playing very well. I hope to see the Ipswich Town team perform well in the next Premier League season.

The final doesn't have two legs, it's a 90 minute game and it can go in favor of any team. Real Madrid surely looks the better team but Dortmund is also a competitive one. If Dortmund are able to defend against and score a goal or two in counter, they can have a win. The recent win of Manchester United against Manchester City in FA cup is an example where the stronger team controlled most of the game but failed to score. Leverkusen also lost to a less anticipated Atlanta in Europa Cup. I don't mean the trend needs to follow but unlike a league, you just need to have a couple of good hours to win the final.

Leverkusen suffered their first defeat of the season against Atalanta. Leverkusen were in very good form. We saw a completely one-sided match against Atalanta.   This was a completely unexpected result.   The Leverkusen team was defeated in this match by a big margin of 3-0.
 
Manchester United won the FA Cup final against City.   None of us expected such a result. Because Manchester City were in great form.   Manchester United's performance on the other hand was very erratic. Manchester United still managed to win the FA Cup final.

I don't see any chance of underestimating the Dortmund team.   I would say the main strength of this team is their defense. Defenders are able to perform well in almost every match.   Against PSG I also saw excellent performances from Dortmund's defenders. So I don't think it will be easy for Madrid to score in this match.

We have the IPL winner, it’s KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS. After 12 long years they are able to lift the trophy. A complete domination I must say. Both bowling and batting unit of KKR did tremendous job. Throughout the game, SRH were clueless. Finally Pat Cummins final winning streak has come to an end. Last time KKR won the trophy when Gambhir was captain, now when Gambhir again joined as mentor/coach, he did it again and made KKR win another trophy. This season it was roller coaster ride for all the teams. We all expected a high thrilling final but ended up seeing a one sided match. Let’s see what happens in the next mega auction and in the next season of Indian Premier League.


Congratulations to Kolkata team.   After a long time they won the title of IPL.    But I was very disappointed with Hyderabad's performance. I didn't think the final match would be so one-sided. Was looking forward to watching a competitive match. I never imagined this match would end so quickly.   I don't remember the last time we saw such a one-sided final in the IPL.   Sunrisers Hyderabad team has given a target of only 114 runs.

Kolkata batsmen were in very good form. Hyderabad gave 200+ targets in this match but Kolkata team had the ability to win. Kolkata team reached the target of victory in just 10.3 overs. Venkatesh Iyer was unbeaten on 52 off 26 balls. Kolkata Knight Riders team won very easily.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: May 26, 2024, 05:26:39 PM
I don't see it as a disappointment because Ancelotti did the right thing by making sure that the players don't put much strength on the match to save them from fatigue. There is the highest competition finals for them to play in football history apart from the world cup, so why do you want them to waste their time and seriousness on a worthless match that will not add any reputation to their name. Gamblers are always self centered and they don't consider so many things before betting on a club. I was not expecting any great performance on Real Madrid after I saw what they played last week. Keep your money or lose it if you are staking on Real Madrid to a win on any of their matches before the UCL finals.
Maybe they don't understand how a team can play several competitions at once so they assume every match will definitely end in victory even though as we know Real Madrid is preparing everything for the Champions League final match. On the other hand, Real Madrid has already won the Laliga title this season so whatever the result of the last match has no impact, if they win it is a bonus and if they lose it is not a problem so if someone was disappointed when Real Madrid only drew yesterday, maybe he only paid attention to Real Madrid on the livescore, not in the standings and match schedule. Usually gamblers understand situations like this as I did bet for Real Betis in the first half +0.5.
Personally, I would be better off avoiding a match like this if I compare those who continue to hope for Real Madrid to win, because of course I also consider Real Madrid who still have to play in an important match later in the Champions League final. So, even if they bet on this match, ofcourse it would be better to choose another option and not always choose the 1x2 option. But yes, if they are still betting on Real Madrid winning then maybe it won't be a problem if at the same time they are ready to accept failure. But yes, however,  in several previous matches it has also been proven that Ancelotti only plays second-string players and as such, they should also be aware that Ancelotti is also preparing his main players for the Champions League final match.

Betting on these type of matches is very risky.   Because Madrid already won the title.   So now Madrid has no problem even if they don't win any match in La Liga.   Also, Madrid are now preparing their match strategy to win the Champions League title. So naturally, Real Madrid will not give much effort in the La Liga match, it has been predicted before. So I refrained from betting on this match.

Madrid played very carefully in this match.   Ancelotti does not want any player in the Madrid squad to face injury in this match. So the Madrid players did not try to attack much in this match. Although Madrid were favorites in the match, they could not win. However, I am very interested in the Madrid vs Dortmund match. The match is expected to be very competitive. Dortmund will definitely go all out to win.

Leyenda, Tony Kroos! Thank you for everything you've done since coming to the real Madrid. You have brough your amazing talent to the real madrid. Kroos has collected 22 trophies. Without a doubt, people referred to him as a real madrid legend. He delivered an incredible performance that will never be surpassed. He received a great deal of gratitude from all of madrid fans in the world especially florentino perez.
He follows in the footsteps of Zidane who retired from football in 2006 and zidane was playing in the World Cup in Germany, while Kroos will compete in Euro 2024 after this retirement from real madrid, he is now trying to dedicate all to his national club.  That's the last game of kroos wearing real madrid's jersey. One of greatest midfielder that has ever exist in the history of football.
A true legend really deserves to be attributed to Toni Kroos, he has dedicated everything to Real Madrid and won various prestigious trophies. There is no need to doubt his loyalty, he chose to retire at the age of 34 because he did not want to defend another club after parting ways with Real Madrid.
If he went to the Arab league or another league, many clubs would want to use his services, but he chose to take the same path Zidane did before. Toni Kroos will always be an important part of Real Madrid even though he no longer plays there, maybe after that he will get an important position on the club's board of directors as a form of return for his loyalty all this time.


Toni Kross joined the Madrid squad in the 2014–15 season. And he spent 10 long seasons with Madrid. He has won many titles in these 10 years. Toni Kroos won 4 La Liga and 4 Champions League titles with Real Madrid. He is an excellent midfielder.

Toni Kroos is not old yet.   Any squad in Saudi Arabia is ready to pay Toni Kross high wages. Kitnu Toni Kross does not want to prolong his career.   He decided to retire very early. I thought he would retire after maybe 2/3 more seasons. But perhaps we will see Toni Kross start a coaching career in the next few seasons as well. Come on, if you start a coaching career, Toni Kroos will be as successful as Zidane.

The aggressiveness of Man City game in the face of Ten Hag pressing strategy will clearly make Man City game ineffective. With this victory I think it was deserved, even though Man City totally dominated, in the counter attack the advantage was with the Red Devils where Man City defense line was very wide open. In addition, the blunder of the first goal due to a communication error between the defender and the goalkeeper was the start of a revival in the enthusiasm of the Man United players. Then Maino second goal added to Man United back line which was required to be solid in guarding the movements of Haaland, Bruyne and Foden. It was clear that even though Man City controlled the field, their difficulty penetrating the back line guarded by Wan Bissaka, Dallot, Varane and Martinez in onfire mode made the Man City striker overwhelmed.

Source: Football365

I was really surprised by the result of this match. We considered Manchester City as favourites. Because Manchester United team was not in good form. And the performance of this group is very erratic. But Manchester United's win surprised us all in this match.

This machete is completely dominated by Manchester City players. Manchester City players had 74% of the ball possession. And made 19 shots in total. Even then, Manchester City could not return to the truck in the match.   Jeremy Doku scored a goal for Manchester City in the 87th minute.

Manchester United played a completely defensive strategy after scoring two goals.   In the second half I did not see any strong attack from Manchester United players.   Their main task was to repel city attacks. Ten Hag's match strategy helped defeat City in this match.

Xavi was expected to be kicked from Barcelona at any moment especially that few weeks ago he was declared out then resumed... Their might be some misunderstanding and tensions between him and the staff but that was mainly due to the poor results they had and for not winning anything this season.
Barcelona was devastated this season by not getting any trophies, but the position in the standings can still be said to be good for Barcelona this season. Because apart from these bad results, I am actually more convinced of other sentiments that caused Xavi to be expelled from Barcelona at the end of this season and replaced with someone else. However, I am also not quite sure that Barcelona's new coach can bring Barcelona back to its glory next season if Barcelona is still experiencing a financial crisis.
Obviously, Xavi dismissal was not about the results he got this season, and also not about not winning any trophies this season but about the disputes and or differences of opinion that occurred. Therefore, initially Xavi had stated to leave the team at the end of this season but over time, there were disputes and or differences of opinion until finally Barcelona stated to dismiss Xavi. So, regarding Barcelona's failure this season not to get the trophy it is not a problem factor but even so, I really prefer Xavi to leave because after all, Barcelona also does not appreciate Xavi at all.

I don't understand why Xavi was fired. Because Xavi has already announced that he will not stay with Barcelona next season.   This season is going to be Xavi's last season with Barcelona. Also, we haven't heard any rumors about Barcelona sacking Xavi this season. We heard the news of Xavi's dismissal quite suddenly. And we were not at all prepared to see such news.

But I agree with you that maybe the Barcelona management decided to fire Xavi because of Xavi's conflict with the Barcelona management. However, we haven't seen any news in the past about Barcelona management's conflict with Xavi. However, now I am waiting to see who Barcelona appoint as their coach.   If Barcelona hire someone like Koeman as coach again, we will see a further deterioration in Barcelona's performance next season.

For Napoli, if they haven't found a new coach then next season will still be hell for them. Finishing in 10th place in the standings was very bad for last season's Scudetto winners and it is true that what was done to Spalleti should not happen again. So we'll see who will replace Francesco Calzona later.

I have never seen a Serie A title-winning team suffer such a slump in the past. Napoli won the title the previous season. So naturally the fans' expectations were high from Napoli this season. We also thought that the Napoli team might fight for the title this season.   But Napoli's performance left us all disappointed.

The Napoli team is in tenth place in the points table with only 13 wins out of 37 matches. However, I consider the team's bad defense to be the main reason for Napoli's downfall this season. Napoli have conceded 48 goals in 37 matches this season.   On the other hand, Napoli conceded only 28 goals last season.

Napoli need an experienced coach. Also the squad needs to be strengthened. But I don't think the Napoli management will be interested in spending huge amounts of money to strengthen their squad.

Sunrisers Hyderabad's batsmen cannot provide big targets. In today's match I expected to see 400+ runs in this match.   Because both Hyderabad and Rajasthan had strong batting orders.   But Hyderabad managed to collect 175 runs today with the loss of 9 wickets.   Heinrich Klaasen scored 50 from 34 balls and Rahul Tripathi scored 37 from 15 balls. Besides, no batsman could bat well in Hyderabad's squad.

Even if Hyderabad could not give a big target, Hyderabad still has the ability to win this match.   Rajasthan's batting is very slow today. Rajasthan mustered only 67 runs in 8.3 overs. Tom Kohler-Cadmore scored 10 runs off 16 balls. Jaiswal played very well in today's match as well. Jaiswal got out after collecting 42 runs from 21 balls. Captain samson scored 10 runs from 11 balls. Rajasthan are under a lot of pressure at the moment with the loss of three wickets.
I don't see any chance of Rajasthan winning at the moment. But I am really surprised by the performance of Hyderabad bowlers today.   Hyderabad's bowling is very controlled today.   Hyderabad's bowlers have already picked up 5 wickets. 

The batsmen of Rajasthan Royals managed to collect 90 runs after losing 5 wickets in 13 overs. This is not a good collection. Rajasthan's batsmen could not collect an average of 7 runs per over. Rajasthan must collect 86 runs off 42 balls. As the team has already lost 5 wickets. So I don't think the team can collect 86 runs off 42 balls now.

I thought we might see Rajasthan vs Kolkata final.   But Rajasthan's bowlers can bowl well but their batsmen can't.   Rajasthan cannot collect 176 runs today because of batsmen's bad batting.   In 18 overs, Rajasthan lost 7 wickets and collected 124 runs.   Dhruv Jurel remains unbeaten with 52 off 24 balls.   It doesn't seem possible to me that Rajasthan will score 50 runs in the last two overs and win.

I would say that because of Shahbaz Ahmed and ABhishek SHArma's excellent bowling, Hyderabad are going to win this match. Shahbaz Ahmed picked up three wickets for just 23 runs in 4 overs and Abhishek Sharma picked up two wickets for just 24 runs in 4 overs. 

Whether Hyderabad can do well against Kolkata in the final is not certain.   Sunrisers Hyderabad have lost their last two matches against Kolkata. .

People think Manchester City will beat Manchester United easily considering Manchester City already won Premier League, but people forget with this guy :
Antony is the only player that on the same level like Messi and Ronaldo, even Mbappe or Haaland didn't even close to Antony. Although the match haven't start yet, but I already know it's over, Manchester United win 6-0, Antony scored double hattrick.
What joke are you talking about that says that Antony is on the same level as Messi and Ronaldo. Even if Antony is compared to Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, Nicolas Jackson is still better. So the FA Cup final will definitely be won by Manchester City. However, there will be no massacre against Manchester United. I predict the final score 3-1 for Manchester City to win.
There are many players who can be compared to Antony because Antony is not an extraordinary player. He is an average player and I believe he is not even Premier league quality. Manchester United needs to get rid of him as soon as possible and make better transfers. He serves no purpose other than being Erik Ten Hag's former student that he brought to the team. I may be making harsh comments, but I cannot be optimistic about a player who cannot contribute properly to Manchester United.


I agree with you.   Antony is not a top tier player.   He is an average quality player. And buying a player like Antony for 96 million was a big mistake by Manchester United. The party has wasted money. United coach can't find the right players for the squad

Coach Ten Hag is spending 96 million to buy Antony and 75 million to add Hojlund to the squad. And these two were Manchester United's losing projects.   Ten Hag failed to buy the right players for his squad. For these reasons, I think Manchester United management should sack Ten Hag and look for a new experienced coach. Otherwise Ten Hag will be wasting more money.   I don't know why United management bought a player like Antony for such a high price.

SRH vs RR is quite entertaining at the moment since it seems like it's 50:50 at the moment. RR is taking wickets regularly while SRH is banging the ball nicely. Funny thing is all batsmen who got out so far were caught behind.

RR are definitely the favourites at the moment, but I still think SRH shouldn't be underestimated here. Let's see how this plays out.
Frustration is building up as SRH keeps losing wickets just when a partnership is needed. They are still scoring runs, as there is no point in slowing down now.

With six wickets down, SRH is slowly losing their strong position in Chennai. I don't see a big score on the board unless Klassen hits big.

Right now, I dare to say the match situation is 50:50, but RR has a better chance of winning today's Qualifier 2.
I think this time there is a must for the team of Sunrise Hyderabad and the crowd has to convince Travis Head to hit shots. In the group stage matches, Travis Head always played well in the first overs and also hit boundaries even we can see his batting at least 100 times and would never bored but now I think everybody put pressure on it and he came under pressure which caused of his bad performance.

Let’s see what will happen and what target Sunrisers Hyderabad manages to give because now their condition is not good, the player who made the score in the start has been all out and now they have already lost 6 wickets.



Sunrisers Hyderabad's batsmen cannot provide big targets. In today's match I expected to see 400+ runs in this match.   Because both Hyderabad and Rajasthan had strong batting orders.   But Hyderabad managed to collect 175 runs today with the loss of 9 wickets.   Heinrich Klaasen scored 50 from 34 balls and Rahul Tripathi scored 37 from 15 balls.

I am currently enjoying the first match of the T20 series between West Indies vs South Africa. There is no doubt that this match will be very competitive. I am looking forward to an exciting match.   Because both these teams are very strong. And both have a very strong batting order.

South African team captain van der Dussen decided to field after winning the toss. But the West Indies batsmen are batting brilliantly. West Indies team collected 107 runs in 10 overs.   West Indies batsmen are collecting more than 10 per over. But the important thing is that only Brandon King is batting aggressively. Brandon King is unbeaten with 76 runs from 41 balls. Kyle Myres was unbeaten on 23 runs from 14 balls.

Although West Indies set a big target, South Africa have the ability to win the match. Because South African batsmen are in very good rhythm now. Even if the target is more than 200, South Africa has a chance to win.

After losing three T20 matches, Pakistan team is playing the first ODI match of the series against England Women today. Pakistan Women's team lost all three T20 matches due to their poor batting. Pakistan would not have lost all three matches if the batsmen had performed a bit better.

I don't see the possibility that Pakistan will win the ODI series. Pakistan's loss in the ODI series is also high. Because the Pakistani batsmen are unlikely to perform well against England's experienced bowlers.



Pakistan team won the toss and decided to field. England women's team lost 4 wickets and collected 155 runs in 33 overs. If England can score 100 runs in 17 overs then it will be a good target for victory. If England women team can collect more than 250, then Pakistan women team will not win this match.
Pakistan batsmen are batting with responsibility today.   Pakistan women's team has not won a single match in the T20 series. So Pakistan team will try hard to perform well and win in ODI format. Pakistan captain used his 7 bowlers today. Nida Dar picked up three wickets and Nashra Sandhu, Umme Hani and Aliya Riaz took two wickets each.

A target of 244 runs is not a big target on this pitch.   If the batsmen of the Pakistan Women's team can bat responsibly, Pakistan has a great chance of winning this match. At the end of 15 overs, Pakistan women's team collected 66 runs with the loss of 1 wicket.   Pakistani batsmen need to collect 178 runs in 35 overs.


Now looking at the batting of the Pakistan women team players, it seems that Pakistan team is going to lose in this match like the previous matches.   The team lost all three matches of the T20 series. And lost almost every match by a big margin. We do not see any change in the batting of Pakistani batsmen in ODI format as well.   Even today Pakistani batsmen batting is very slow.

In 28 overs Pakistan women team lost 4 of their batsmen and mustered only 118 runs. The team collected an average of 4.2 runs per over. Pakistan need to collect 126 runs from 132 balls to win.   I don't see any possibility of Pakistan winning this match if the way Pakistan is batting now. Captain Nida Dhar remains unbeaten with 18 runs from 26 balls.   Nida will definitely have to play a big innings if they want to win the match. Lauren Bell is bowling quite well today.   Lauren Bell picked up two wickets with 20 runs in 5 overs.

Team USA batted in the first innings of the second T20 match against Bangladesh today. USA team collected 144 runs after losing 6 wickets against Bangladesh in today's match, although this run did not give much target to Bangladesh team today. USA batsmen batted well today with some players including the team captain who also did well. However, Bangladesh team did a good bowling performance in today's match due to which USA did not allow USA to score too many runs. Bangladesh team bowling Rishad Hossain and Mustafizur Rahman and Shoriful Islam each bowled well due to which they managed to get two wickets each. USA team tried to do well in today's match, but Bangladesh bowling line was good, I hope they will bat well too. And if the Bangladesh team wins the second match of the series in today's match, then the result will definitely be 1/1, and I think the target of 145 runs can be easily met by the Bangladesh team.
The USA batsmen's performance was quite good today.   I would not call a collection of 144 runs a bad collection.   In the first 10 overs USA collected 68 runs for the loss of 2 wickets.   USA batsmen collected 76 runs in the next 10 overs. Compared to the previous matches, the performance of the Bangladeshi bowlers was also quite good, especially RIshad Hossain's bowling was very good today. RIshad gave 21 runs and took two wickets in 4 overs. Tanzim Sakib's bowling was also very controlled. 

Bangladesh unexpectedly lost the first match. Bangladesh team will definitely want to make a comeback in today's match.   A target of 145 runs is not a big target for an experienced squad like Bangladesh. However, since the performance of Bangladeshi batsmen is very erratic. So this match is likely to be competitive.



I find it very boring to enjoy matches of Bangladesh team in T20 format. Bangladesh's batting is very slow.   Almost every team is batting at a smart strike rate, but the strike rate of Bangladeshi batsmen is not good. Moreover, the performances of the Bangladeshi top order, especially the Bangladeshi openers, have always been weak and erratic.

After the defeat in the first match Bangladesh team did not keep Liton Das in their squad today. This batsman has been in bad form for a long time. However, even in today's match, Bangladeshi openers cannot play well. Bangladesh team is batting at a target of 145 runs.   Soumyo Sarker returned to the dressing room before adding any runs to the squad. Bangladeshi batsmen collected only 29 runs in 4 overs. We don't see Bangladeshi batsmen playing well even against the bowlers of a weak team like USA.   How will this team play well in the World Cup?

After losing three T20 matches, Pakistan team is playing the first ODI match of the series against England Women today. Pakistan Women's team lost all three T20 matches due to their poor batting. Pakistan would not have lost all three matches if the batsmen had performed a bit better.

I don't see the possibility that Pakistan will win the ODI series. Pakistan's loss in the ODI series is also high. Because the Pakistani batsmen are unlikely to perform well against England's experienced bowlers.



Pakistan team won the toss and decided to field. England women's team lost 4 wickets and collected 155 runs in 33 overs. If England can score 100 runs in 17 overs then it will be a good target for victory. If England women team can collect more than 250, then Pakistan women team will not win this match.

Hopefully Todd Boehly will not regret his decision to stop Mauricio Pochettino as one of Chelsea's best coaches. I don't know for sure how Chelsea will be next season. Does Chelsea have a new coach who can improve Chelsea's performance and provide victory next season? If Chelsea always does this then the possibility of Chelsea winning will be very difficult to obtain.
To be honest, I was also surprised when I heard the news that Mauricio Pochettino was fired from Chelsea. Chelsea did perform very badly at the start of the season but in the second half they improved their ranking a bit more. Chelsea ended the English league standings in sixth position and they managed to get 5 wins from the last 5 matches. I even saw a lot of memes saying Chelsea was better than MU even though both of them performed badly at the start of the season. Many say this is because Mauricio Pochettino failed to meet the club board's expectations after spending huge amounts of money on players. I agree but I think it looks like Mauricio Pochettino has found the right formula for the team at the end of the season.
There is no surprise about Pochettino sacking because after all, even if for example, that Pochettino managed to deliver a trophy this season and then in the next season Pochettino failed to deliver good results for Chelsea. In the end Chelsea will always sack their coach,it's like a basic rule that Chelsea has to always sack the coach when it fails. Although basically, Pochettino is not bad at all because Pochettino still managed to get Chelsea in the top six compared to teams like Manchester United who have failed. So yeah,I don't care who Chelsea new coach is for next season, because in the end Chelsea will still always sack their coach when they fail to compete for the title.

you are right   Chelsea management will sack their coach only if the Chelsea coach fails to win the title. This has become a general rule. But there is no doubt that Chelsea coach Pochettino has done a good job this season.   Chelsea's overall performance was not bad either. Chelsea's performance was particularly good in the late season matches. And this is why the Chelsea team managed to occupy the sixth place in the table.

I will blame Chelsea's management for such a poor performance. The impact of the management's internal problems can be seen in Chelsea's overall performance. Chelsea's performance will not improve if the internal problems of Chelsea's management are not resolved.   Even if Chelsea hires a more experienced coach, Chelsea's performances will remain erratic.

Second T20 match of USA and Bangladesh will be play today in first match USA won by 5 wickets the main reason is that USA playing on their home which they have took advantage. Bangladesh team have 9 position in icc T20i rankings it will be very harmful for them to lost a 19th ranked team. I think today BAN team will gave all effort to won this match If they even lose today match they will lost the series and their World Cup campaign will also be affected. Bangladesh team have a good record on his home they won series against such strong teams but when the are playing abroad the situation will be different and losing against like USA team.


The bangladesh players warmup


In the first match we saw bad batting from Bangladesh. A collection of 180-200 runs is now a normal occurrence in the T20 format. But it is challenging for the Bangladesh team to collect up to 160 runs. Bangladesh team cannot win against weak teams with such a bad batting order. Bangladesh's defeat against the third row team USA was extremely embarrassing.

Bangladesh and USA will meet in the second match of the series today. The USA players are now more confident after the win in the first match. On the other hand, Bangladesh must win today's match to save their honor. But it will not be possible for Bangladesh to beat the USA team with top order batsmen batting like stupids.

Considering the players level perform, Real Madrid have good composition and get bigger winning percentage ration than Dortmund indeed success eliminating many top team from Atletico Madrid until  PSG from quarter until semifinal round. I see Madrid has opportunity to make another history as the most winner UCL and reaching 15 Champion League trophies.
Real Madrid have all the necessary odds to win Borrusia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League final but this is football, it comes with unbelievable outcome. For instance, you've watched the Europa League final, Atalanta vs Bayer Leverkusen in Dublin, Leverkusen long stake unbeaten finally come to an end after been humiliated by Atalanta 3 nil last night. Observed Bayer Leverkusen have all the odds because they were favorite for the big winning but ended up been the victims of defeats, a perfect scenario for illustration?

It is impossible to make sure predictions about Champions League finals and Europa League finals. We have to be ready to see any result.   A few years ago we saw a mediocre team like Chelsea win the title by defeating strong opponents like Manchester City.   Manchester City were favorites in the match. No one even imagined that Chelsea would win the Champions League title.

Yesterday we saw Atalanta blow away a strong team like Leverkusen 3-0. Leverkusen suffered their first defeat of the season. Like me, many expected Leverkusen to remain unbeaten this season. But Leverkusen lost by a big margin of 3-0.

Real Madrid are favorites against Dortmund. But it would be foolish to think that Madrid have no chance of defeat.   I would say 65% chance for Madrid to win this match and 35% chance for Dortmund to win. I am saying this considering the squad and experience aspect.
