Bangladesh vs Netherlands, 17th Match, Super 12 Group 2 has started. In this match Netherlands has won the toss and decided to bowl. Now Bangladesh is batting but Bangladesh has lost 2 wickets so far.  Bangladesh scored 57 runs in 8 overs. Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 25 runs off 20 balls. And Soumya Sarkar scored 14 runs off 14 balls.
It is absolutely foolish to expect the victory of the Bangladesh team from the performance that the players of the Bangladesh team are showing.  Bangladesh team's opener batting Liton Das has already departed.  Nazmul Hasan Shanto collects 25 runs off 20 balls.  Shakib Al Hasan, who is the hope of Bangladesh team, left the match today after collecting 9 runs from 7 balls.  Such a game is not what one would expect from a good player.  So far the team run of Bangladesh team is...
93/5 (13.3)
Despite all the odds, the Bangladesh team managed to win this match. At one stage I also thought that Bangladesh would not make enough runs but they still managed to get 144 runs.
Ireland did not bat well and could not chase this small score. All of them bowled out quickly except Colin Ackermann who made 62 runs, but he cannot win the match alone. He did not get any support from the other end. Taskin took four wickets in this match and got the man of the match.
Thanks to the Bangladesh team, they won the match tomorrow despite all the odds. After 15 years, Bangladesh won the main stage of T20 World Cup. Bangladesh got off to a good start in the World Cup with a nine-run defeat in the Netherlands. Later if Bangladesh can do better then Bangladesh will gain more reputation.

As Bangladesh has been performing erratically in recent times, I thought that Bangladesh will not win any match in this World Cup. But Bangladesh won the first match. They played well. Although the performance of the batsmen is not good, the performance of the Bangladeshi bowlers is excellent. Bangladesh won because of Taskin's brilliant bowling. Bangladeshi players are very confident now. However, if the Bangladeshi batsmen cannot play well in the upcoming matches, then the Bangladesh team will not be able to win any match.

@CryptoBuds if they continue to perform so poorly then they’ll definitely crash out early, but if they manage to show some resilience then they could probably cause one or two upsets. Furthermore I’m not expecting them to make it to the semis, and thus my advice is to wager against them if you get decent odds on the opposite team.

I saw where people wrote that the match between Barcelona and Bayern Munich is "The Road To Europa" Grin I need a very good explanation. Is there no chances for Barcelona to qualify?
What will be the result that will happen in both Barcelona and Bayern match and Milan vs Plzen match so that Barcelona can qualify for the stage.
Does it mean that there is no hope for Barcelona, even if Plzen miraculously wins Milan which I doubt will happen. But for assumption sake, what if Milan losses to Plzen?
Barcelona still has a chance to qualify if Inter draw in the next match, but it's like a miracle of the world because Inter probably won't draw or lose against Plzen. Previously when visiting to Doosan Arena Inter could make the home helpless with a score of 0-2, this time also Inter will look more ferocious to qualify. But there is always hope for Barcelona, because the game is not over yet there are still two more Smiley
I don't think that Inter will get out with a draw against Plzen, well they shouldn't, Plzen is a weak team and both Barcelona and Bayern destroyed them, the road seems pretty easy for Inter, and they should push hard from the start, I think Inter will win the first half, that's my prediction.

Inter are basically superior in two ways from Barcelona
First, Inter have a slight more advantage because against Viktoria Plzen it won't be as difficult as against Bayern Munich, and Inter are also superior based on the collection of points that keep them one level above Barcelona.
Barcelona will really work hard in the upcoming Champions League match besides having to beat Bayern, Barcelona must also be able to get rid of Inter from its current position. Of course it's not easy for Xavi's squad
I am now thinking about the match between Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Both teams are very strong. Earlier, Barcelona were defeated at home, but Barcelona could not capitalize on the opportunities. But this match will be played at Barca's home venue, so favoring Barcelona, ​​hopefully they will give the fans a great win.
Barcelona and Bayern will be the game between these two teams. It is impossible to say which team will win this game.  But I think we will see a tough fight between the two teams.  But in this match I will support Barcelona.  Because I like watching Barcelona players play.  So I will support Barcelona.

I believe that Barcelona shouldn’t give up hope right away, because they have Lewandowski who can inspire them for a victory but let’s not forget that Bayern is not an easy team to beat, however if we get good odds on Barcelona then it makes sense to wager small amount on them. Furthermore I totally agree with you’ll that Inter won’t lose or draw against Plzen, and I expect Inter to score at least 3 goals against them and comfortably seal their victory.

Pakistan cricket board along with the government will give the best security. Whenever there is a schedule between India and Pakistan, the same will be promoted in all possible means. Look at today's match, the ground is full. The host nation is Australia and for its match we can't expect the same crowd. For the betterment of Pakistan cricket, they are in need of hosting Asia Cup. The discussion will not come to an end, and Pakistan won't be hosting the league.

In the end, it comes to security. If countries such as England and Australia are ready to visit Pakistan, then India can't give any excuse other than the lack of permission to do so from the central government. PCB will be in a dilemma. If India doesn't visit Pakistan, then the TV revenues and sponsorship will go down. PCB needs the support from smaller boards and then they should approach the ICC. If BCCI refuses to visit Pakistan, then the latter should claim reimbursement of the losses from the Indians.

@Sithara007 I believe that Pakistan has passed the security tests, and if I’m correct even an Indian delegation is allowed to travel ahead and check the security arrangements, and thus I feel that security is no longer an excuse that BCCI can use. Furthermore I feel that BCCI will happily pay the compensation but they won’t pay the full amount asked, because I’m expecting them to negotiate and lower the compensation amount.

Here are the latest results:

Saturday 22nd October 2022
Nottingham Forest 1-0 Liverpool 

The biggest news over that period was Manchester United beating Tottenham and Liverpool losing to Nottingham Forest. Liverpool fans can see how far they have fallen behind since Sadio Mane departed. Opponents are not worried about facing Liverpool now and I think they will miss out on a top 4 position because Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United are probably going to finish the season in the top 5 positions.

This is the biggest mistake that happens to Liverpool, when a team that has been made as good as it can be, will become a tough team, and when that team is solid and they sell one of their players like selling Sadio Mané to FC Bayern Munich, then we can see Liverpool this year, they have lost confidence in their own team.

So that's why Liverpool still need a replacement person like Sadio Mané, who always plays for the team not for his own ego, because we know that the figure for the power to hit the opponent's defense is very important, because Liverpool lack that person, if we rely on Mohamed Salah as a line. even that front can't help Mohamed Salah to do something in the opponent's goal, and in the end they always lose in every match they play...

I know many will disagree but I strongly feel that it’s time for Liverpool to move on from the Klopp era, because it’s clear that they need a new coach and a new set of tactics to challenge for the title. Furthermore Klopp chose Salah over Mane and we all saw how his decision has backfired on him, hence I feel that at the end of this season Liverpool should look for a new coach and they can probably pick between Tuchel or Poch to revive themselves.

There is a difference between being a bad casino and being not a great casino. I understand not finding this casino one of the best, that is understandable, but that doesn't mean that this one is a bad one neither. It just means that we are talking about a place that doesn't give back to gamblers as much as some other places do.

Gambling in the crypto world grew insanely high, which means you would be getting huge amounts back, and casinos are getting bigger so their profit margin could grow smaller. But this place hasn't grown that much, which means it is not getting that much attention anymore, and that could be what your friend was talking about.
That is mainly because there are so many casinos out there these days, which begs the question how do we make our decisions on which one is good and which one is bad. I know that when it was just a few casinos, it was basically either good or bad, but now that there are a lot more that means there are situations where places which are obviously bad, but there are also places which are obviously good, but there are also a ton of places that are right in the middle, just like bitsler.

The number of casinos decides this, if you have 5, then you wouldn't have this problem, but when you have 500+ places then you can't just make it all bad/good and nothing in between.

I feel that it’s harsh to call Bitsler a bad casino, because each casino has a budget and they need to stick with it to survive in this competitive industry. Furthermore there’s no set guidelines which makes a casino great, but for me I would prefer payouts to be on time and support to be responsive and till Bitsler is doing both we should give them some more time and not list them under the bad casino’s category.

No, we do not. Actually, basically all intercom based casino do not require a login details for contacting support.

Now I understand and see the case here. Probably @megaAkker ticket got flooded by other message and the CS overlook the last message. Probably a full report of what happened is the best thing to do to explain your side since he just send a solid proof that deny your previous statement about him not leaving details of his account as reason for the delay on reply.

I heard that it was already being handle so I guess this case should be cool off now.

@owlgames wouldn’t it make more sense to implement login for support so the user’s messages could be easily be mapped out?, and timely replies could be provided to avoid issues like these?.

Good to hear that you got your funds. Did you finally provide your info for the support team to check?

You should send your relevant info when asked so you won't have to wait for several days.

Yelling 'where is my money' won't help anything when you encounter any issues.

Support team does not know your account if you do not send your info.

@owlgames first of all I’m glad that it’s settled for both the parties, and you have raised an important point too which as user’s we should strictly follow i.e. give full cooperation to the support and swiftly give the support team all the possible details they could need to resolve the issue’s.
1287  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - 🦉 Drake, UFC, Watford Main Partner ⚽ 🥊 on: October 23, 2022, 05:53:37 AM
I suggest to the title thread change to - Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - 🦉 Drake, UFC, Everton  Main Partner ⚽ 🥊
Because Watford is not the main sponsor again if I don't have a mistake.
As long as I know based on the current Jersey of Watford, Stake is still sponsoring Watford this season. You can check Watford official partners page https://www.watfordfc.com/club/partners or you can watch some highlight matches of Watford this season and you will see that Stake's logo is still printed on the jersey. It means that Stake is currently sponsoring both Everton and Watford. The best option is to add Everton in the title of this thread instead of remove Watford and replace it with Everton.
I just realized that Watford play on Championship, I think is better to change or adding Everton on title thread. Because with name of Everton, Stake has had selling value than putting name Watford on the title. Especially, Everton's performance is starting well after beat Crystal palace 3-0 last night, all people will searchingly who is the main sponsor Everton.


@blue Snow it’s an excellent suggestion and I wonder why didn’t they update their title earlier?, and Everton are currently sitting just outside the top 10 hence they’ll definitely attract lots of user’s by adding Everton to their title. Furthermore I feel that Stake should leverage this sponsorship and provide match day tickets via a contest, as that would get them many new user’s and even existing one’s will participate in it.

Salah + Haaland, impossible to ignore as part of our MajSev picks, right?

Exactly, I picked these 2 players for the current round of Majestic 7 after I missed to participate in the previous 3 rounds. It is also hard to not pick Mitrovic and Toney when their team are in the selected 7 matches. So this round I pick Salah, Haaland, Mitrovic, Toney, Zaha, Saka, and Bowen. Seems like a big chance to win something this round  Grin Lets be confident and lets the dream come true to win the main prize.  Wink

@Bitnity indeed one should select Haaland because he’s a player who just can’t stop scoring, and I can’t wait to see how many goals he’ll scores by the end of the season and personally I’m assuming that he’ll score at least 40+ goals. Also Mitrovic has been in terrific form and I expect one of the top 6 team’s to purchase him next season, hence it does makes sense to add him in the weekly selection.

And for Tsitsi backers, he won against Ymer, I wasn't able to watch the match, but it was just a 2 set win by Tsitsi, score is 7-5, 6-3. It seems that Ymer give everything in the first set, unfortunately, Tsitsi is really focused on the game and didn't give Ymer a chance to even it and force a 3rd set.

Ruusuvuori defeated Tiafoe in the other match, setting a semis between the two.

The other one is De Minaur vs Rune.
Tsitsipas have played as usual not letting the match move to the third set. Ymer wasn't able to do much in the second set. During the first set he tried the best to win, but things didn't work.

Now it is Ruusuvuori vs Tsitsipas, which is gonna have the same result as the Quarter Final.

On the match De Minaur vs Rune, I find the chances high with Rune though the odds were in favour of De Minaur.

@btc_angela for me personally he’s a mixed package, because whenever I start to feel that he’ll win he tends to lose so for a change I’m happy that he won his match and has now progressed to the semis. Also now I hope that he wins this tournament, because he seems really focused this time round and it’ll be really disappointing if he loses in the semis or in the finals and lastly anyone here thinking that he’ll win the finals if he makes it?.

Small correction, not threatening to pull out but unilaterally decided to pass "Neutral venue" as a possible solution.
Do Malaysia and Nepal get anything from it? I'm not aware of that, talking about Men's Asia cup revenue model. I know BCCI doesn't get a single penny from ACC.
It has also been reported that Pakistan has been very angry about the suggestion India made that the next Asia Cup should not be held in Pakistan. Instead, it should be held in a neutral venue. You can understand why Pakistan is very angry. In addition, I have heard that Pakistan has threatened that if the Asia Cup venue is shifted from Pakistan to a neutral venue, then they will not be participating in the World Cup 2023. As far as I am concerned, there is no reason why the Asia Cup should be held in a different venue. I am sure that there is going to be very good security provided to the players and all the members of the cricket boards if it comes to a security issue.
I won't use the word Pakistan here but PCB (because when it comes to Pakistan then state sponsor terrorism comes to my mind tbh, they are in FATF grey list for a reason after all).
IMO PCB has every right to oppose the BCCI proposal be it organizing the Asia cup at their home without the Indian team or boycotting the next 50overs WC but at the same time they should be ready for backfire in the future when they are not getting their share of the revenue from the ICC, every time they are boycotting the ICC tournament in India
And i would like to add that it should be the same for BCCI.
Frankly, I am willing to defend Pakistan here. You cannot call a country "sponsor of terrorism" just because some dumb people bombs themselves in the name of religion. You also cannot call a country terrorist just because some other country listed them as terrorists when that certain country was the one to teach terrorism in the first place. Anyway, I will not pay attention to any political stuff anymore.

I think the Pakistan cricket board has the absolute right to host the Asia Cup in their own country. For a long time, international cricket was not played in Pakistan let alone any tournament until recently. This is the start of something good and I really do not think that the BCCI has any right to damage that or stop that from happening.


In last 75 years these countries never learn from their mistakes and still going on the way of conflict which is surely going to hurt both countries even right now many are feeling India is big and have right to do things like this but surely in long term they can also face consequences of these in long run I don't want to go in other topics like terrorist and politics but still they need to do some soft policies for the better future because if they will go like this then surely things could be worst for all.

ICC can't do anything in this case, just they can stop funding or again this crap Pig-3 like drama can happen because most of the time these have power to blackmail small boards in these cases with their power and resources. Right now, BCCI is under pressure due to inner policies so most chances we will have no favourable decisions for Pakistan, but things could be changed in the future, and they could be down on earth with this all.
I have always said that the problem is that the people in power are really narrow-minded and quite racist, to be honest. They don't want the conflict to end. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any problems like this. They just want to watch the other suffer.
Most people lose their common sense when they get into power. Under the influence of power, they start behaving differently towards the weaker. But they forget that power is not permanent. There will come at a stage when that ability will no longer exist.

For the good approach of cricket, Pakistan should be given the opportunity to hold the Asia Cup without taking any negativity. It would be better if Asian countries support it instead of opposing it. They have already announced that they will not participate in the World Cup if the next Asia Cup is not held in Pakistan. And it is also a threat to cricket. Many may say that nothing matters if they participate or not. In that case, there is a word that nothing happens without a single country. But there will be some temporary effect and it will be fixed later. But cricket will lose its respect.

I feel that this is a very delicate situation for both the team’s and ICC, and instead of giving statements in media they should all sit down in a room and discuss what’s the best way to defuse this situation. Furthermore I feel that if ICC fail’s to resolve this then that’s why the point of having them, but i do understand that it won’t be easy for ICC and lastly I’m sure that we’ll be seeing more drama from both the team’s over these issue’s.

Well, i for one also think that Ronaldo has been constantly disrespected by Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag, but the team is always bigger than a single player, and despite the fact that Ronaldo is one of the greatest player's of all time, he still has to respect the club in all ways possible. Shortly after his suspension from the team, Ronaldo has issued an official statement/apology to the club, and from his words i think he is really sorry for his actions and the club should forgive him and the two parties should work together and show each other more respect going forward, at least before he maybe leaves in January.

I really think that there is only so much a man can take. Throughout his time at the club, as well as under the management of the club, he has consistently been disrespected. However, this is not the right way for him to express his anger. I know that he has published an apology to the club. However, I don't think that will change anything between him and Manchester United or ETH. I think they are still planning to disrespect him.

In my opinion, Cristiano Ronaldo should really go out and find another team, because after what has happened so far, I don't think he is going to be able to play well for Manchester United. His move should be made even if it is to a team currently playing in the Europa League. Otherwise, his career is as good as over if he stays at Manchester United.
If Ronaldo leaves United during the transfer window, I will blame Ten Tang. The best player in football history, RONALDO played for prestigious teams like Real Madrid and Juventus and helped them win numerous accolades and trophies with his incredible abilities and skills. Ronaldo deserves respect as well. It's wonderful that he has apologized since it demonstrates how humble and willing he is to support the team. Ronaldo understands the culture, is aware that he is not greater than Manchester United, and I have no doubt that he will bounce back stronger.
Even though he is a great player but that was in the past and if there is very little contribution so no reason to keep him, will it benefit the team? clubs have to take into account the money that must be spent to pay him and it is not a small value, if releasing Ronaldo actually has a good impact on the clubs and maybe for Ronaldo himself then it is a good thing for both

I am a Manchester Unite fan and I’ll say it clearly that the club has not disrespected him, he ignored pre season training and then failed to adapt to the new coach’s method. Furthermore the apology was written by his PR person and no he’s not bigger then the club, and the best solution is to tear up his contract and save those big wages.

I don't think it's appropriate for Xavi to be addressed as the worst coach because Barcelona this season in La Liga is still in good form despite having poor results in the Champions League.
LOL. Anyone can judge, but I think Xavi is bad not in all matches. If you compare all that to the Koeman Era I totally agree with you. They have risen and they are better, although at the moment they have a lot of star players all need time. It's hard to change teams in just one night. It should be that the observers are more observant, Xavi's statistics are increasing. Perhaps if at the end of the season they don't have the title, it could be a reason for the supporters to insult Xavi.
Maybe only some of the observers provide analysis by ignoring the foresight in seeing clear statistics because they don't like Barcelona. We don't have to blame them, because slowly they will know what Xavi has made.
The result of last night's match vs Villarreal again showed that Xavi was the right person that Laporta chose to become Barcelona coach.

The result of last night's match vs Villarreal again showed that Xavi was the right person that Laporta chose to become Barcelona coach.
They forgot that before Xavi, Barcelona were in a very bad situation and they even were considered as not competitive enough to get a position in top four of La Liga. It's magic to see Xavi brought the club to end the past season with a runner-up position and people looked at season ending and thought Barcelona even can beat Real Madrid and take La Liga trophy if Xavi has more time. In the past season, Xavi had about half of a season to manage Barcelona.

They forgot that in this season, a runner-up position in La Liga again would be still a good result for Barcelona. If they want to win La Liga, they must give Xavi more time and allow him to buy 2 or 3 more players to enhance Barcelona strength in the next summer. If they sack Xavi in this season, they will make another mistake and the club will be in uncertain crisis again.

@yudi09 I don’t think that they’ll sack Xavi unless Barcelona crashes outside the top 4 in La Liga, because even the board knows that it’s a long term project and there’s no instant fix to their problems. Furthermore Xavi needs at least 2 more year’s to buy all the player’s he want, and then build a winning team that can dominate La Liga for year’s to come.
1294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 20, 2022, 10:50:13 AM
Dortmund is really out of form and I think it eventually comes down to them not having Haaland on the team. Just like Bayern Munich is not in form without the presence of Robert Lewandowski. Well, at least not in the first position. I think you guys understand what I am trying to say.

Things are really looking bad for Dortmund. They are not consistent at all. Their recent performance does not suggest that they are going to be competing for the Bundesliga title this season.

I am also surprised to see the performance of Union Berlin. They are doing a really good job. For any team consistency is key and they are being very consistent.

In this season, Dortmund is not as good as last season after Haaland's departure to Manchester City. some of the young players they project, have not looked brilliant this season.
Dortmund's problems have actually been seen at the start of the season, after signing Sebatien Haller from Ajax Amsterdam last summer, he was declared out for a long time because he was diagnosed with a tumor.
in the end, the plans that Dortmund had prepared did not work out as they should.

As well as what happened to Bayern Munich.
After Lewandowski's departure, things went smoothly at first with Sadio Mane. but after playing a few games, Bayern have lost their momentum because they don't have a main striker who is usually a finisher. even so, Bayern are slowly getting back into form, even though Nagelsmaan has to fiddle with his strategy in every match he will play.

On the other hand, Union Berlin became the only team that performed differently.
so far, they are still performing very consistently even though it has to be paid for with hard work. however, Bayern Munich's dominance is still very strong in the Bundesliga.
as we previously predicted, it is only a matter of time for Bayern to return to being top of the Budesliga standings.

@Tony116 it’s not surprising to see Dortmund perform so bad this season, because Halland was a key player for them and without him they were always bound to underperform. Furthermore I feel that they need to buy at least 2 player’s in the January transfer window, and if they don’t strengthen then it’s quite possible that they may end up outside the top 6 by the time this season ends.

Honestly I saw this news very shocked whether it was true or it was just a rumor, news from Italian Football that Inter Milan owner Steven Zhang decided to sell Inter Milan and offered Raine Groub for €1 billion for the club.


According to The Financial Times, Inter have given a mandate to Raine Group, a US investment bank and Goldman Sachs to find a buyer for the club.

The Zhang family reportedly want €1bn for the club.

Raine Group recently acted as an advisor for Todd Boehly’s Chelsea takeover.

SportMediaset are reporting 3 groups interested in buying Inter:

- An American group led by Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry
- A fund from the UAE
- Ernesto Bertarelli, the richest man in Switzerland

It seems that was true  and it's not only a rumour. I hope that inter will be acquired by a group from UAE. As far as i know that if UAE was interesting to acquiring intermilan as it has been acquiring newcastle which has been played in premier league right now.
Im feeling doubt about another party other than UAE. We do know that how UAE was full with so many crazy rich billionaire, so many people know correctly about the reputation from UAE.
They were always giving so many funding to keep the club become the best like what happened with PSG and city

Unfortunately until now, no investors from the UAE have looked at Italian clubs, although I know that this rumor has been around for a long time but only recently emerged, and directly from their president Steven Zhang's family who stated this.

There is a possibility that Italian clubs are still question marks regarding match fixing, although this is just my speculation, at least that has happened to Juventus with the Caciopoli case.

Maybe that's one obstacle why people from the UAE don't want to look at clubs from Italy, because the fixing of the score in the Italian League Serie A is still thick, when talking about money problems, people from the middle east are not likely to buy some shares of clubs from Italy, but in fact there is not a single club owned by the UAE people..


I suspected that sooner or later Zang was selling Inter
for many reasons
- it is not a profitable business, on the contrary it is an endless pit
- to fix some things you have to destroy society

I am very sorry for the Inter fans

@babo I strongly believe that a new owner would do wonders for the club, because with the right investment Inter Milan can dominate the Italian league for year’s to come. Furthermore Conte left due to lack of finance and imagine had he been backed by a new owner then I’m sure that he would have delivered multiple trophies for the club, hence in my personal opinion Inter Milan fans will be happy with this sale if it takes place.

This is an opportunity for Manchester United to show again that they can handle stronger opponents, especially when playing at Old Trafford in front of their supporters. After a goalless draw with Newcastle United the previous Saturday, it's only natural that they don't want to disappoint their supporters again.

In the last three meetings, Manchester United have won against Tottenham Hotspur.

The opportunity for Manchester United to achieve positive results in the match is wide open, especially since United has a good report card against Tottenham Hotspur. That well-preserved record is a testament to how dominant Bruno Fernandes and his teammates were when they met the London club.
Are you a Manchester United fan? If so, I hope you will have fun today.  Wink

After the most humiliating defeat to Tottenham in the 2020/2021 season with a score of 1-6, Manchester United has not been beaten by Tottenham until now. This good record should be something that can make Manchester United worth fighting for maximum points in today's match, and I think Manchester United will probably do it.

An excellent show from the theater of dreams, in emphatic style, Manchester United extended their unbeaten run to a fifth game, having put pressure on a Spurs side who were not so impressive in most games with limited performance. Fred's shot finally put United ahead just as the second half began, as he picked up a short cross from Sancho on the edge of the box before curling a shot that was deflected past Lloris.

The Reds' three points were in sight since the second goal in the 69th minute through Fernandes' beautiful arch-foot strike, and goalkeeper Lloris' heroics really decided the score in tonight's game. Finally, the chants of the Manchester United supporters sounded again "Glory glory Manchester United". Wink

There is no special result in this week's EPL game other than Manchester United's win at Old Trafford, I didn't think they could beat Tottenham by 2 goals, before I thought that they would be difficult to win, and if they did win, they would win by 1 goal. But my guess this time about them was wrong. BTW, Lloris played really well in that match, he made a lot of crucial saves.
Manchester United players has playing well in that match that since the beginning of match Manchester United really dominated especially from shots on goals that they had several attempts to scores goals and indeed Tottenham lucky because Hugo Lloris was playing well because probably the scores will be more than 2 goals if he didn't made crucial saves and as i predicted Manchester United won the match seems while against big teams they always be playing well and this also indicated Manchester United will threat other teams for champion league zone but next opponent will not easy for them because this saturday they will fight against Chelsea

@Kayeshlyn the impact of Ten Hag was clearly visible, and finally it looks like the team is playing the attacking football that he promised us when he first arrived. Also Fred inclusion in the playing 11 was a surprise but he made sure that the manager got rewarded for selecting him, and the only negative part was Ronaldo walking away and I feel that the club should take strict action against him because he’s setting a wrong example for the player’s.

In fact, the possibilities of PSG are already starting to raise questions for me - I don’t see them as a reliable consistently strong game against strong opponents (weak ones can be ignored). In the Champions League, they failed to beat Benfica twice in a row. If it was a separate match, then I would not pay attention, but twice in a row this is already a signal of problems. It is a pity that the next game will be against Maccabi and there the result is a foregone conclusion. The final game of the group stage against the crisis Juventus may show us what PSG can do.
Regarding the result in the Champions League against Benfica, it made me curious as well, whether it was purely because Benfica were indeed in their best form or there was something that maybe they planned to keep getting points so that Juventus no longer had a chance to overtake them. But apart from these suspicions, I also agree that it is indeed difficult for PSG to continue to get maximum results in every match, because winning by only one goal difference with the squad they have, for me it is not a maximum result.
In part, I really like this, because if PSG is in trouble to win, that does not mean that the team is making a mistake, it means for me that the level of football of the other teams in the French league is increasing, that although PSG It has many stars like Mbappé, Messi, Neymar, among others, they are not so comfortable, that means that things are going well in world football, for me it is a great success, this match between Marseille and PSG was not won. for a great result, they won it because it really cost them, but if Marseille hadn't been so bad, things would have been different, that's what comes to my mind the most.
But for me it is not, because if other teams in Ligue 1 improve to make it difficult for PSG to win or only make PSG able to win by a narrow score. Then PSG will be increasingly tested and of course have a good impact for them to compete even stronger in the Champions League, but in reality this is not the case. Because PSG in the Champions League doesn't seem to have had a big development to get stronger and that means they are still at the same level, or maybe they tend to decline a bit because over time they need more effort than usual just to score one goal.
Marseille put up a fight against PSG, but they made some silly errors that cost them the game. It's quite sad how Alexis tried so hard to do everything to help the team win the game; he was everywhere on the field.

Alexis was fantastic, but luck ran out of him. Marseille has demonstrated that they are prepared to win a trophy this year.
Alexis Sanchez is indeed a hard-working player and I really liked it when Alexis Sanchez played at Barcelona, and until now he is not young anymore Alexis Sanchez can still play with very good movements. But yes, a team win cannot be done with just one player and also, basically it is not easy for Marseille to beat PSG. What's more, PSG's team development makes it difficult for Marseille to beat PSG from time to time. Therefore, Marseille is still not strong enough to win the trophy because even, to stay in the top three Marseille really needs a bigger effort and it is not easy for them.

@hahay I believe that these two are key factors why PSG player’s are not performing that well: 1) the new coach has failed to unite this egoistic squad, 2) Mbappe status is causing discontent among the squad and the solution is to sell him and reinvest in other player or player’s. Furthermore there’s also talks of Messi leaving which has further distracted the squad, and if PSG wants to achieve success this season then it needs to put an end to Messi’s exit rumours.

Arsenal will be hosting PSV Eindhoven in the Europa league tomorrow at the Emirates. I won’t lie, it’s going to be the most toughest fixtures they’re going to face in the Europa league this season. PSV are currently sitting second on their league table and they derive pleasure in scoring goals. It’s going to be a tough one for Arsenal as they’re yet to recover from Leeds game. PSV will likely go into this game with their first team and I don’t know if Arteta will do the same. He needs to understand that this PSV side is a much better side than Zurich and Bodo/Glimt. So he needs to start his best players to get the maximum points at home.
Arsenal will find it difficult to face PSV Eindhoven? will it really be? After I saw the odds at 1X2 on Rollbit, I think you are wrong to say that Arsenal will have a hard time against PSV Eindhoven.
For Arsenal's own win, I see odds of @1.51, for a draw @4.6 and @5.8 for a PSV win. Referring to the odds of course this match will be an easy match for Arsenal. On the other hand, PSV will be in trouble because they will play at the Emirates.

The Arsenal team continued their streak in the Premier League and Europa League. They have won 9 out of 10 matches in the Premier League and are at the top of the points table. Arsenal has won all 3 matches in the Europa League. And it is very difficult for PSV to get points against Arsenal. Arsenal players are very confident now.

This is Arsenal's first match against PSV in the Europa League. PSV is a strong enough team. They won't let Arsenal win easily. But this is Arsenal's home match. Arsenal will not want to disappoint their fans in home matches.

Arsenal is playing at home and they will most probably win easy against PSV,their game of today is postponed exactly for this reason,they play tomorrow against PSV.As good as PSV maybe compared to such performing Arsenal I doubt they will be of any difficulty to be beaten.It is a shame for Arsenal though that they will have to play PSV tomorrow and postpone their main game against Manchester City which if won they would be leading the Premier League by 7 points.Arsenal main focus is the Premier League but that does not mean they are not going to win easily against PSV.

@swogerino Arsenal are definitely winning, because they’ll be fielding their strongest playing 11 and I doubt that PSV will be able to handle them. Also not surprising to see those odds, because Arsenal player’s are in top form and if they continue performing so well then there’s a high probability of them winning the premier league and the Europa league too.

The thing is that the world we live in right now is fast-paced. Everyone wants everything to finish faster. People are way busier now compared to 20, or 30 years back. So people enjoy T20 more as it is more action-packed in a smaller amount of time which is more enjoyable than test cricket, as test cricket is a very slow-paced format which has become backdated. So, it can be said that T20 is the future now.

It's not just that the world has become fast paced. The ICC has also not been very successful in making test cricket more interesting to the audiences. They thought that the World test championship would do the trick, but so far it has been a failure. The main issue remains as such. A lot of matches end up in meaningless draws, even after 5 days of play. The fans get dejected as a result. Flat tracks in sub-continent nations and increased incidents of rain interruptions as a result of climate change further exacerbate this situation.   

A 5 days match cannot become appealing for cricket lovers in an era where T20 format dominates. You simply cannot spend an entire day watching cricket unless you have nothing to do on that day. I do not think ICC is in fault in any ways. It just that 5 days cricket is no longer the only option left for cricket fan. I also believe that this format will stay for sometime now and gradually will fade away.
It is true that the world has become mechanized. Now people don't have the time to sit and watch a game for 5 days. It is not possible. Basically this game is made for the purpose of giving pleasure to people. If the audience despises a game, it will not progress in the long run. But it is also true that cricket is not producing such quality players as before. And I think to be a good player he must do well in Test cricket. Test cricket is one of the best ways to improve the quality of a player.

@BobK71 I do agree that Test cricket is no longer entertaining, but if ICC could arrange for more day and night test matches played with pink ball then fans will definitely return to the stands to watch these matches. Furthermore they could tweak the rule and declare no points for drawing the match, and while this would generate lots of backlash but it’ll ensure that all matches will have a guaranteed result which is what the fan’s ultimately want.

~snip~
I'm not completely sure, but as far as I know, at least in recent history, it has never happened that the host of the World Cup did not pass the group and not advance to the knockout stage of the competition.
However, due to the quality of their team, Qatar does not deserve to play in this World Cup and I believe that they have a minimal chance to pass the group and reach the knockout stage of the competition.
If they aren't the hosts, we certainly wouldn't be watching them at this world championship, just as we haven't seen them at previous world championships either.

Yeah, it's a huge advantage to host the world cup. But the thing is that the previous world cups have been usually held in countries in which they have a strong team to begin with, such as Brazil, Spain, Germany, England, Uruguay, and so on.

This is probably the first time that it's going to be held in a relatively weaker country. Maybe Korea-Japan 2002 could be comparable up to a point, and even then they managed to go past the first stage, which has been their all time best performance for both Korea and Japan.

We'll have to see if the boost for playing local is enough for Qatar.

I wouldn't really compare South Korea and Japan with Qatar, because Korea and Japan have a much longer football tradition, they have invested much more in football, and they have a much larger population and a much larger football base.
Just look at their results in the last world cups, Korea and Japan often make it to the knockout stages of world cups and achieving great results.
Ok, it seems that Qatar is currently achieving good results in friendly matches, but does anyone seriously think that they would have qualified for this World Cup if they did not have the direct right to participate as hosts?

No, of course. No one holding that illusion. Before, Qatar isn't on the same level as some of the MENA teams in the region. If not for the host right, they wouldn't even pass against other strong teams like Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Qatar recently got good only because of the massive preparation for this World Cup. They got a lot of new players under their national team, buying and transferring left and right just for the stake to put up a good face as a host. I'm damn sure after this World Cup is over, Qatar will fall back to its place, behind stronger teams in MENA. Money can only buy them some temporary victories before and a bit after this World Cup.

I will also jump the bandwagon of people saying NO, and if I could swap them for another team then I would have gladly use it to bring back Italy. Furthermore do you’ll think that it’ll be a nice opportunity to make some quick bucks while wagering against them, and even though I’m expecting super low odds I yet feel that we can earn some good bucks on their matches if we get lucky.
