-- So there's no reason to choose another shirt. Onana expressed excitement at reuniting with teacher Erik Ten Hag and can't wait to be dedicated to MU's success An extraordinary purchase was made by Man United because Onana's ability under the crossbar could help the game scheme and strategy implemented by Erik Ten Hak. Now the pair will be reunited at Old Trafford next season and it will be great to see him in action next season. That's fantastic news! I'm sure he must be feeling really proud right now. André Onana's joining Manchester United will definitely make their squad stronger, especially in the goalkeeping department. It's going to be so thrilling to see how things progress with him on the team. I have no doubt that his skills and presence will play a key role in the team's success. Just can't wait to see him in action, hope he'll fit in de gea's boots. |

Meanwhile in the fourth Ashes Cricket test match, England is at the better position by the end of day 2 with the lead of 67 runs and 6 wickets in hand. Opener Crawley have scored 189 runs from 182 balls which is really impressive. Stokes and Brook on the crease can expect another 100-150 runs for sure.
Surprising fightback from England actually. After watching their performance during the first two matches, I was thinking that Australia may whitewash the series 5-0. But the addition of Mark Wood and Chris Woakes changed everything. Despite the fact that their premier pace bowler (James Anderson) is out of form, England has managed to restrict Australia to a small total (317). They are at 384/4 now, and with Ben Stokes and Harry Brook at the crease, they should be able to get a first innings lead of at least 200-250 runs. England are looking confident to take the game against Australian, while it was Australia threw away the opportunity. Now the game took a surprising turn, leaving Australia feeling quite disappointed. It looks that that England will be leveled it 2-2. At the end of the day two, Zak Crawley's remarkable 189 runs innings helped England a 67 runs lead. England is expected to build on this advantage on Friday and get at least 250 runs lead. |

The result of friendly match between Chelsea vs Wrexham is really outstanding, they beat Wrexham for scored 5-0, Ian Maatsen who's from Chelsea Academy scored 2 goals. This is a big achievement compared to other European teams where they only with 1-2 goals margin, I think Pochettino will include Maatsen in Chelsea international team. Does this a sign Chelsea will be a strong candidate in the next season?
The Blues have returned to their winning ways as they kick off their pre-season with an thrilling 5-goal win against Wrexham. Ian Maatsen who started the scoring for Chelsea from Nicolas assist. Maatsen scored two goals in this match, this basically raising hopes that he will bring the same energy to the English Premier League in the next season. In the making of a strong candidate, Chelsea still require the signing of 2-3 additional players balance their squad. |

Imam-ul-Haq rescued Pakistan from late stage wobbles. If Sri Lanka had 30-40 more runs on board, then things would have got interesting. Because Pakistan won the match only with 4 wickets in hand. And by the time they won, the last batting pair of Imam-ul-Haq and Agha Salman was at the crease. After them, the three tailenders to come next - Abrar Ahmed, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah. If the Lankan spinners had taken one more wicket, then there was a good chance that the Pakistan batting order would collapse.
Imam-ul-Haq consistently delivers outstanding performances on challenging pitches. His brilliant innings today played a crucial role in Pakistan's victory. Pakistan team has a habit of making matches thrilling, but it's not an easy when batting on such slow and tricky wickets. Congratulations to Pakistan for starting the World Test Championship cycle with 12 points. Saud Shakeel and the rest of Pakistan's batters also displayed great batting skills. Yes, if Sri Lankan batters managed few more runs then match could be more interesting. |

Manchester City are surprisingly now interested in signing Brazilian and Barcelona star Raphinha as a replacement for Riyad Mahrez who will move to Saudi Arabia soon. Raphinha's career in Barcelona is not so bad, but not the best we expect a player of his quality to deliver. If he moves to Manchester City either on a full contract or on loan, Pep will make a monster out of him.
Raphinha might be a good player option to replace Riyad Mahrez. Pep has a good assessment of Raphinha, who won the main place in Xavi's squad the previous season. he helped Barca a lot last season. Chelsea also reportedly want Raphinha, but a month ago it seemed that Raphinha still wanted to stay in Barcelona. but all possibilities can happen if there is an attractive offer to Barcelona. especially if Xavi wants a player who can be exchanged with Raphinha. Riyad Mahrez out, Raphinha in? Pep really admires Raphinha and sees him a top priority to replace Riyad Mahrez. However, I do believe there are better options available. While Raphinha could perform well, he's not an exact like-for-like replacement for Mahrez. And the outcome will depend on whether Manchester City is willing to meet Barcelona's asking fees for Raphinha. |

Today there was another correction so the price fell below $30k, of course I never thought that the price would fall below $30k, maybe this is a trap made by whales because they want to buy cheaply, but let's not panic and sell too, better to keep buying because the bull run is coming soon.
The thing is, if you truly believe in Bitcoin as a new global payment system, it's highly possible that its value will rise significantly due its scarcity. Instead of panicking during any market fluctuations, it's necessary to stay motivated always. Just remember that you won't have more traditional currency to keep buying Bitcoin, but what you'll need more buying power. |

Women vs India Women
The second match of the series between Bangladesh Women vs India Women has started. Bangladesh Women won the toss and decided to bowl. India Women lost the toss and went into bat to collect 21 for the loss of 1 wicket in 5 overs. Marufa Akter got the first wicket. The first match was played in 44 overs due to rain. Bangladesh Women were all out for 152 runs in 43 overs.
According to the current situation. Indian women team played 49 overs and made 224 runs. And now they have lost 5 wickets and recently lost a big wicket with Jemimah Rodrigues she made 86 runs and I think they will give 230+ target to Bangladesh and I think this is a good target for Bangladesh and this will be little bit difficult for Bangladesh. By the way at this time we can't say anything and can't underestimate Bangladesh. Indian woman won by 108 runs the all- round performance from Jemimah Rodrigues 86 runs and took 4 by just giving 3 runs in 3 overs has helped India level the ODI series. Bangladesh women only had 120 runs and lost all of the wickets in just 35 Overs. India woman bowling performance was brilliant in this match J Rodrigues win the player of the match for his all round performance and levelled the 3 Match series by (1-1). Ban W 106/4 to 120/10 I just can't believe it! Bangladesh Women's team lost their last 7 wickets in just 14 runs. A terrible collapse in the lower-middle order. As a result, Indian Women's team registered a comfortable 108-run victory against Bangladesh W in the second ODI and leveled the series by 1-1. What's even more surprising is that Rodrigues performance in today's match, she isn't even an all-rounder, but won the Player of the Match award for her outstanding all-round performance. This is thrashing win after the unexpected start in the first ODI. |

Sri Lanka is still trailing and they have lost 4 wickets already. Both Noman Ali and Abrar Ahmed are bowling brilliantly. And the Pakistan skipper is doing the right thing by sticking with spin for now. Dinesh Chandimal and Dhananjaya de Silva are trying desperately to restore some decency to the Lankan innings. They still need another 150 runs to have even a remote chance of saving this test match. BTW, Pakistan captain may decide to give one short spell each to Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah, if this partnership persists for some more time.
Pakistan in command of this test at the moment. Srilanka have given a target of 131 runs to Pakistan on day 4. 20 overs still to be bowled today and if Pakistan can bat with quick run rate then there is chance that we have a result today. Naseem Shah had good time with bat as he blocked almost 75 balls and had a 94 runs partnership with Saud. Naseem kept one end and allowed Saud to score runs. Pakistan if wins today then it will be a win after a long time. Pakistan need 131 runs to register victory in this test match. Sri Lanka will need to deliver an exceptional bowling performance to stay in the game, but based on Pakistan's impressive batting display in the first innings, it won't happen. The target should be easy to get, as long as Pakistan avoids complicating matters. The outcome of the first test in Pakistan's favor, 1-0 lead is loading. |

Anybody on the forum got into the sale? Projects like Arkham that are low on the radar before getting the limelight at launch time go the hardest.
I was lucky to get in on it and ended up with some free money. Projects like Arkham are currently very low, but this project has potential to big later. This could be a fantastic chance to turn our small investment into a much bigger amount before the project getting into limelight. |

Although the biggest possibility at the moment is Lukaku leaving because it is impossible for him to be at Chelsea I think but for Arab clubs it is actually still possible.
Indeed in this case, there are several conditions where Lukaku gave a statement by not wanting to go to Arabia because he still wanted to compete in a big competition but this could not fully be a reference because even this small possibility could still be considered.
Lukaku's condition is still unpredictable about his future because he could also make the decision to go to Arabia and betray Juventus' approach just as he did to Inter at this time.
He hasn’t decided anything. That is what is annoying him. He is waiting for the best deal that he can get. I hope he doesn’t wait too long though. Because if he does all contracts might slip through his grip. I also don’t think he has any problems betraying any club either. His future also remains unpredictable for him to make a choice about where he wants to play next year. In order to remain in the spotlight, he must opt for a European club in the midst of competition. Juventus doesn't seem like his destination of choice. It's highly probable that he'll embrace a lucrative opportunity in the Saudi league. Right now, I don't think he's actually interested in competing for glory. Money is what he is much more invested in. Now Lukaku is indeed a hot topic of conversation, especially on the Italian League stage. I heard that Chelsea had managed to reach a final agreement with Inter Milan and even before that he really wanted to play with Inter Milan. However, in the final transfer phase, Inter Milan canceled the deal with Chelsea because it was reported that Lukaku was difficult to contact at the last seconds of the deal. In the midst of the uncertainty of his status now I heard that reportedly he will stay at Chelsea and is ready to join the Pramisum squad of The Blues. With this decision, so far Pochettino has not given an answer to his desire to return to join Chelsea. I don't really understand him, before he expressed his desire to play for Inter Milan but now he has missed the opportunity. If it is money that Lukaku wants then it would be great if he decides to go to the Saudi League. His behavior seems kinda abnormal, with his feelings changing all of a sudden. Confused human being! It's like he can't make up his mind about what he really wants. Last season, he made an interview to an Italian paper where he said he never wanted to come back to Chelsea. That statement makes everything even more complicated. Lukaku grew up at Chelsea, and the club means a lot to him, despite the loan or permanently transferred elsewhere. Lukaku is going through some serious confusion, and he really needs help. I wouldn't be happy see him betraying both Chelsea and Inter Milan at the same time. That would be really disappointing. |

I can't agree with it. Why can't you accept the fact that if money has become the main reason why some european players decided in moved to the saudi pro league? It's not always being linked with their religion.
What about neves, brozovic, henderson, savic, firmino and many more? If religion gonna be their main motive to join in the saudi pro league and they will never do that. Anything related to the religion is still remain a sensitive case.
They wanted to join the Saudi Pro League because of the attractive offers. I can't deny if a player like benzema joined due to the his religion but it's only him. It's not happening with all of players joined in the saudi pro league
Some European player leaves their career in top Europe teams for receiving much money with Saudi Pro League teams, all players can earn more 10x bigger salary than stay with Europe teams. There are not reason about religion because some Europe players are not Moslem except Benzema and Nkante. Great opportunity with fantastic salary coming once in their career, I don't think many Europe players waste this moment where earn much salary than their achievement with European teams despite they are on top or end career but has bigger chance for playing with Saudi Pro League teams. Almost all target success bring to Saudi Pro League teams although have some player denied like Lukaku, but at the end money is everything and make some Europe players want leave their career in Europe teams for getting bigger salary. I'm not entirely sure, but it may possible like Ronaldo move to Saudi Arabia, and other players followed him. However, the quality standard of the Saudi Pro League doesn't really match up to any European league. This season, there have been some improvements as teams adding quality players, but it won't guarantee boost their game as immediate effect. Actually, players moving to Saudi Arabia has nothing to do quality game; it's more about crazy bids and high salaries. It's nothing special. China tried similar but didn't succeed. I have doubts that it will be same with Saudi Arabia once they've collected their own share and move on. |

Pakistan managed to take the lead. Before the lunch break, they managed to collect 313 runs with the loss of 6 wickets. Although Agha Salman failed to score a century, Saud Shakeel is still unbeaten with 119 runs. Apart from Saud Shakeel now Noman Ali is batting very responsibly. He is unbeaten with 13 runs off 49 balls. If Saud Shakeel is at the crease, Pakistan will take a lead of at least 100 runs. I will say if Pakistan can take more than 150 lead today then Pakistan will win this match. Salman Ali Agha Missed His Well Deserved Hundred By Just 17 Runs Some 80s Are Better than a Hundred Pakistan is now lead by 43 runs Saud Shakeel played amazingly at 135 runs unbeaten while Naseem Shah is playing dots only. Pakistan 355 runs in a loss of 8 wickets Sirlinkan Spineer was unable to pick lower order wickets too fast. I think if Saud played Aggressive shorts lead will be 100 plus that an enough to make a pressure on Sirlinka's batter to win this match. The Sri Lankan bowler's performance is not good today. Sri Lankan bowlers are not able to take the wickets of Pakistan's lower order. And slowly Pakistan team is moving towards a big collection. Now Pakistan's total is 381/8. Naseem Shah is providing excellent support to Saud Shakeel. Saud Shakeel remains unbeaten with 154 runs. On the other hand, Naseem Shah collected only 1 run off 25 balls. Pakistan has already got 35 runs from this pair. Pakistan has taken a lead of 69 runs. if Srilankan bowler’s do not dismiss these two then Pakistan will comfortably take a huge lead hence post the break the Srilankan bowler’s need to come up with a new plan to save this match. Also if Pakistan manage to take a lead of 150+ then it’ll be very difficult for Srilanka to give them a big target and thus at the moment it looks like Pakistan will win this game quiet easily. Absolutely brilliant performance by Saud shakeel. Roar like Saud Shakeel Phenomenal innings by the southpaw score 208 not out 361 balls with the help of 19 fours what a player pure test player from 101 loss of 5 wickets to score 461 a great fightback from Pakistan led by Saud Shakeel Pakistan lead by 149 runs that a huge lead. I'm shocked to see Saud Shakeel has an Average of 98 in the Test. If Pakistan bowler Shaheen and Naseem bowling well in 2nd inning and picking early wickets then surely Pakistan will win the match. From 101/5 to 461 Indeed a remarkable fightback! Saud Shakeel delivered an absolutely brilliant performance, also become the first Pakistani batter to score a double hundred in Sri Lanka. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Saud Shakeel's innings, he played exceptionally well under pressure. From executing sweeping shots effectively utilizing the tail, he batted with great determination. As a result, Pakistan is now firmly back in the game with a lead of 149 runs. Having a great chance to win this game, but the outcome of this match now dependent on the Pakistani bowlers. |

Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan came out on top, no cricketer from India or Pakistan is even close to him. As the age of Shakib Al Hasan is increasing day by day, it is as if he is taking himself to another level. He has performed brilliantly since the beginning of his career so he has reached this place. Shakib Al Hasan has a record as an all-rounder since then. Shakib Al Hasan hit another unique milestone in the third and final ODI of the series against Afghanistan on Tuesday. Shakib needed only 29 runs to hit the new milestone before taking the field in this match. He scored a total of 14 thousand 39 runs in 3 formats in international cricket. As a result, he has crossed the barrier of 14 thousand runs in three formats. On the other hand, he has taken 600 wickets in all three formats with the ball, now he has 674 wickets next to his name and Shakib himself has given birth to a new club. Shakib Al Hasan is the only all-rounder in the world who has 600 wickets with 14,000 runs in three formats. Shakib himself, however, does not want to bother with the record, the Bangladeshi star's only goal is to make Bangladesh the champion.
Shakib Al Hasan is an all rounder player of Bangladesh team. Shakib Al Hasan can be seen playing well in all situations. And there is no other player like him in the Bangladesh team. But it cannot be guaranteed that another player like him does not exist in a team like India. India, Australia, England each team is very good in cricket and they play better than Bangladesh. So one player like Shakib Al Hasan is not enough to make Bangladesh better. Bangladesh needs to develop a few more players like Shakib Al Hasan. Then Bangladesh to develop itself more in cricket There's no denying the truth. Shakib is definitely superior to the rest! Bangladesh team is truly lacking a high-quality player like Shakib Al Hasan. It would be wise to consider giving him the captaincy in the ODI format. However, there's a question of whether the Bangladesh team can afford to take the risk of changing the captaincy right now, especially with the Asia Cup and World Cup just around the corner. Somehow I feel like that under his captaincy Bangladesh can perform way better than expected. |

Harry Maguire withdraws as Manchester United captain after a 2 years+ stint with coach Erik Ten Hag looking to choose a new captain for his side ahead of the new season. With DE Gea released after his contract ended. Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw are touted as captain and vice captains respectively.
Who do you think will get the Captain band ??
Based on the news I read, it was Erik Ten Heg who wanted a change of captain in the Manchester United squad. And it seems that Harry Maguire is actually not happy with Erik Ten Heg's decision. He told about this through his twitter. He even felt disappointed with Erik Ten Heg's decision. But I personally feel that Erik Ten Heg's decision was right. Because last season Harry Maguire also didn't get much playing time. he was mostly on the bench. But Harry Maguire's actual performance is still very good. it's just that he really doesn't fit the style of play built by Erik Ten Heg. And Maguire also made a lot of mistakes when he got the chance to play. So I also understand why Erik Ten Heg rarely plays it. A good coach is someone who works for the betterment of the club, and Erik Ten Heg act rightfully. Harry was not a great captain. He received too much praise and was given the captain's armband unfairly. This news must be bringing happiness to many Manchester United fans. Although I am not a fan myself, I can anticipate Erik's next move. This is a message to him, that suggesting Maguire should consider leaving the club. It might be beneficial for him to leave in order to get back into his form and confidence. |

Sri Lanka are bowled out for 312.
Despite a challenging start at 54/4, they have made an impressive comeback. A special thanks goes to Silva for his outstanding century, which played a crucial role in helping Sri Lanka reach the 300 plus run marks. Considering the conditions in the first innings, score 300 or more is considered a positive achievement. Pakistani bowlers, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Abrar Ahmed, each shared three wickets. As the match progresses to day 3, it is expected that the ball will spin more, which adding another dimension to the game. The match is still wide open though.

Afghanistan's performance today is going down the drain as the loss of two wickets is sad news in the power play. But today's bowling performance must be mentioned Bangladesh's bowling Taskin Ahmed, he has shown today's performance which has made a place in the minds of the audience. The game is suspended only because of rain. Afghanistan can collect 130 runs if they continue to collect runs like this. Wicket pressure engulfed Afghanistan. However, Hasan Mahmood bowled two overs and conceded only four runs. Bangladesh's performance is expected to be better as there will be a strong form in batting as well.
Afghanistan are under a lot of pressure in today's series as they lost 2 wickets at the start. Had Afghanistan held on to their wickets early on, they would have had a chance of increasing their runs. However, the match is still suspended due to rain and if the rain clears, the match will be reduced to overs under the DLS method. But in today's match Bangladesh bowling performance is great especially Taskin Ahmed already he has taken 2 wickets. But I think if Afghanistan batsman can perform well after rain then can collect good score. And if Bangladesh can provide better bowling supply, Afghanistan will come under a lot of pressure. at the moment, Afghanistan could not collect many runs. Today, if Afghanistan scores 150 runs, then there will be hope of victory. And Bangladesh, if they perform as they have won in the last match, Bangladesh's victory will be assured in today's match as well. Bangladesh's decision to bowl first after winning the toss turn out working well, as their bowlers have been in control of the game so far. Taskin Ahmed made an impact by taking 2 important wickets. However, there was a rain interruption, and now the match will be played for 17 overs (DLS) method. At the moment few balls left, it's quite challenging for the Afghan batters to reach 150 runs. I'm looking 120 runs after playing 17 overs. |

First test between Pakistan and Srilanka will start in a while at Galle. Srilanka won the toss and elected to bat first. Pakistan had a terrible test record last year while Srilanka had much better recern test record compared to Pakistan. Last time these teams meet at Galle in July 2022 and Sri Lanka won that match by 246 runs. Pakistan a desperate test series win to improve there test ranking.
Pakistan really wants to win the Test series, and their recent stats demonstrate why they're hungry to win. They must focus on improving their performance in red ball cricket because they had a terrible test record last year. Now, they are facing Sri Lanka in Galle, and we'll see if the stats remain the same or this times around new journey begins for them. |

Inter Miami owner Jorge Mas has announced that Messi will make his MLS debut on July 21. According to this statement, if there is no surprise development, under normal conditions, Messi will play his first match next week.
MLS will not be one of the best leagues in the world because Messi has transferred to MLS, but just like Ronaldo's influence in Saudi Arabia, this league will become more visible than before thanks to Messi's transfer. As a matter of fact, I read on the news that Miami match tickets, with prices ranging from $800 to $3,500, have already been sold. It is not difficult to predict that the interest in Messi will be high in America.
in my opinion messi going to this league is not going to change anything, in the past david beckam also went to this league as other good players did and nothing has changed in terms of popularity and that has a reason: they don't invest much in marketing, it is very different from the case of the saudi arabia league, the arabs knew that cristiano ronaldo is a very popular player, just look at the number of followers he has on instagram, with the signing of cristiano ronaldo Al-Nassr had a huge increase in followers in a few hours and all tv channels were talking about cristiano ronaldo going to Al-Nassr but messi has always been a very reserved player in terms of fame, so going to that league he doesn't get much attention in that league, we can see that even in this thread, that even people seeing that messi went to this league nobody is posting in this thread , few news channels talk about messi's team, so in my opinion messi will be forgotten in a short time, probably in 1 year people won't talk about him anymore, I believe he knows that and that's what he wants when he goes to play in this league I'm not completely sure, but it's still a point. He’s achieved everything. So, he doesn't really need to prove anything. Hopefully he elevates MLS. There's talk about other international players following him at some point, and joining the league because of him. He could become an inspiration for many Americans to play football. He made a decision to leave Europe so that he can have some fun and spend quality time with his family. It's possible that his main priority is to be with his family and represent his national team in the upcoming Copa tournament. Don't know others, but I'm planning to watch MLS. MLS have Lionel Messi, and I'm sure this time around it'll be quite interesting journey. |
