In the previous few seasons Lens did not appear so impressive but last season they managed to become runners-up with 84 points and only 1 point difference with PSG who had 85 points but this season they have failed to maintain the best performance they have for League 1.
The deal is that I not so sure that Lens can be like last season being a great competitor for all League 1 teams.
Even though it is true that if they managed to beat Arsenal with a score of 2 - 1 for the UCL this will not guarantee that Lens will be able to give their best for the UCL because several teams from the Bundesliga and Premier League will definitely be able to easily get rid of Lens from the UCL.

Never judge team strength just because it has won one or two times but look at it as whole especially for the UCL which is filled with top teams from every league in Europe.

You've given a clear and accurate assessment. Tottenham has made a good start and has a chance to qualify for the Champions League. However, winning the title might be a challenging. Besides Son Heung-min, it's hard to see a leader within the team. I appreciate all the players and their style of play under a good coach, but the season is still lengthy.

Its not too early because there is possibility that Spurs will make new history with Ange Postecoglou, even though it seems too early, but if Spurs are able to appear consistent with the performance they have, I am sure they will remain at the top of the EPL standings. but we also have to first consider how other teams such as Arsenal and Man City are performing, who are currently also in a state of enthusiasm to pursue first place in this standings and if possible Spurs will continue to lead in the EPL, this will be very interesting because the dominance will change to another team.

it seems like Lens is really focused on the champions league match so they are not too focused on the league 1 match. IMO for the early stages of this season Lens looks bad because they are preparing their team to try to appear consistently in the UCL and after getting to the middle of the season Lens will immediately improve the performance gets more points to get a finish in a better position to get a seat to the next UCL.
and this is just my speculation regarding Lens performance, which in the near term will improve soon considering what I said previously.

Bongs were spanking everyone at home tho. I remember them beating India in ODI and guess they did the same to Kiwis.

The score is not big but this track supports spin and Bangladeshi spinners are no mug when a pitch assists them. The only worry would be dew here. Expecting Shakib to come soon and hope he continues to do what he does best.

Indeed, no one expected that the contrast between Lens' performance in Ligue 1 and the Champions League would be very pronounced and they could even beat one of the strongest EPL teams. Lens should be able to do the same thing in Ligue 1 by regaining their rightful place and not remaining stuck at the bottom of the standings. Maybe Lens have lost quite a lot of soul since this season and because of that they don't know what to do.

New Zealand won big against England. But against Netherlands, their performance was not that flawless. They struggled to get to 300 plus (which was made possible only due to a horrible last over from Bas de Leede), and then they allowed Netherlands to put up a 200 plus total. Anyway, today they look much better. Bangladesh is currently reeling at 57/4, with their top four batsmen back in pavilion. Among the New Zealand spinners, Glenn Phillips has started the proceedings with a wicket from his very first over. This is going to be the third consecutive win for New Zealand.

In the Bangladesh vs New Zealand match, the Bangladesh team came to bat in the first innings. However, seeing the game of the opening batsman of the Bangladesh team really gave me a bad feeling. In today's match, Bangladesh team lost a wicket in the first ball, which I am really sorry to see, because I am a Bangladeshi and watching the game with the support of Bangladesh. But I was not at all prepared to see this poor game performance of Bangladesh. The way they were under pressure at the start of today's match, it may take a long time to overcome this. And Bangladesh team may never match New Zealand if their batting performance continues like this.To win the match against New Zealand, Bangladesh will need to score enough runs which they have shown early on that they will not be able to do. New Zealand's Trent Boult bowling line has been excellent, he has picked up early wickets and boosted his team, may bowl well to take more wickets later on.

so true but you need money to build the quality players. Money doesn't give guarantee but in fact, many clubs who have been spending a lot of money in the football keep dominating it. I can even mention some clubs like real madrid, bayern, city and many more. These clubs have spent so much money in rebuilding their clubs. They have got what they wanted by dominating the domestic league combined with international competition like UCL. In fact, money is something needed by the club to dominate the football competitions.
Money gives more probability for the club to winning the competition caused by having money will make it even much more easier. The club can buy any great players to be combined in the same team.
That's it. PSG was dominating league 1 once this club spent so much money.

Australia currently 50/3 needing 262 runs from 241 balls. They need a run rate of 6.55 per over, it’s definitely achievable but isn’t going to be easy.

South Africa set them a sizeable target with their innings of 311/7. This is going to be an exciting watch, I urge you to tune in if you can.

Arsenal's performance surprised everyone last season. Most people had confidence in Arsenal to win the league last season, but Arsenal surprised everyone with their performance towards the end of the season. Arsenal had a better opportunity to win the league last season. Arsenal was leading Manchester city which was in second position with a reasonable points which I didn’t believe Manchester city will be able to cover up those points before the season ends. Arsenal's performances have also been incredible this season. Let’s see how they end this season. Let’s keep on hoping their performance won’t drop before the end of the season. I can’t really say Arsenal can win the league this season.

My prediction stands. Winners of the Spanish La Liga Competition would be Barcelona. They have all it takes, and that need be is the return of every single player that gives balance to the club.
I've just checked the last five game for Girona and it does look like one that could be handles easily. Almeria, Celta Vigo, Osasuna, Rayo Vallecano, and Ath. Bilbao are games that would be faced from now till the November.
The first two are games that could be handled comfortably. Bilbao and the other Vallecano has been tough.

The matches will not be really easy for many teams, despite the fact that I also believe that Newcastle and PSG are the favorites and have more chances to win their next match in the group. newcastle match against Dortmund will really a very tough match because Dortmund will surely try their best to also achieve three points to make them have hope in the group and seriously Dortmund form is not that bad to win the match against Newcastle but for Newcastle to the host,I believe till will be the difficult for Dortmund to win, so i am just expecting draw in the game, and for the psg match against ac Milan I am also still expecting draw because in their two matches played in this on going champions league till ended in draw, thinking even this will end up in draw because my observations in their match they very good in their defense line which believe it will be hardly for psg players to break into the their defense line. 

I can admit that Sevilla is still in good condition but it just that maybe in the Champions League match Sevilla still needs a strategy to be able to achieve what they want, such as competing always with strong performance until the final round but it all very difficult because in the Champions League there are so many The club is very strong and has very good strategic experience so playing in the Champions League I have a little doubt about Sevilla.
But for matches in the domestic league, I still believe that Sevilla will end up in the best position to still get a ticket to the European League next season even though they failed in the Champions League but it looks like Sevilla will fight for the European League Cup again and we will see a strong performance from Sevilla when it comes to the end next season.

Well said. Mancity is likely to lose that match they they play defensively like they did against Arsenal. One mistake that Guardiola will make in this match too is by allowing Brighton net the ball in the first instance. That I feel will reduce the fear the club may have over Man City and develop more confidence for them to score more goals. An opportunity that should be strongly avoided by Pep in the first place. I know Brighton for one thing. Their ability to score goals with their forward.
Now, Guardiola must face them squarely and ensure that they break their defense through his professionalism which I believe won't be difficult for them. Immediately the players are able to understand the pattern of their opposition, it makes it easier for them to win over the opposition. On the other hand, if Brighton wins this match. Man city will lose the 3 points and will drop down the table again.

After the last 2 matches must lose, Manchester City will host Brighton in the upcoming match. Brighton also has the status of not an easy opponent to beat, they play well even though the last 2 matches they also struggled and had to lose and draw. Manchester City must not underestimate them in this match, if they do then Brighton has the potential to give them 3 defeats in a row. The absence of KDB affects their attack line, yes now they are a little difficult in building attacks and providing passes that spoil their attackers.

A team batting second is also under a lot of pressure if they get a big target, and their batsmen often get out early under that pressure. Afghanistan team may have decided to bat first for this reason, because India batting side is very strong which could give Afghanistan a big target. AFG lost three wickets for 63 runs, but since then Hashmatullah and Azmatullah  have been making a good partnership.
The score has been taken to 135 runs in 28 overs and the partnership between the two continues. However, This partnership can play a big role in making the AFG team score a big one,if this partnership adds another  runs. If AFG manage to set a good target it will be a good match, but I think a target of 300 runs will not be too difficult for India.

I don't believe they got such bad results just with match tactics. We also need to think about the players not being sufficient for success in La Liga. Better transfers are a must, but as far as I know, Sevilla is going through an economically difficult period. Because of this problem, they may not have been able to make the desired good transfers. I hope they can achieve success with the change of coach.

In fact, in today's match, not only the batting performance of Shakib Al Hasan, except for two or three batsmen, the batting performance of almost everyone was very bad today.In fact, in today's match, not only the batting performance of Shakib Al Hasan, except for two or three batsmen, the batting performance of almost everyone was very bad today. Mehdi Miraj, who had a good performance in the previous match, also played poorly in this match, although he took four wickets in the bowling line-up but also gave away a lot of runs. As Bangladesh's batting performance was bad in today's match, their bowling performance was even worse, although it was normal that the batsmen would get a different favor on the pitch played today, but today they suffered a loss due to Bangladesh's overall poor performance. Anyway, I hope they don't lose confidence and do well in the upcoming matches even though there are bigger and stronger opponents ahead.

Sevilla have not been able to show the performance they expected in La Liga for 2 years. They were very lucky last year to become the European league champions, and this year they cannot perform fully even though they are in the Champions league. They are 14th in La Liga and this is a real problem. The person who needed to change was the coach and he did. Let's see what kind of performances will be in La Liga.
