Zimbabwe lost one match in the ODI series between Zimbabwe and Australia and it is easy to say that the remaining two matches will also be one sided matches. Australia will win the series. But I have little hope that Zimbabwe will be able to build counteraction in today's match. If T Marumani , Madhevere , Raza and Chakabva can perform well. If these four player can push the score ‍and keep them under pressure in bowling then Zimbabwe's dream may come true. Then a big change can be seen in their cricket.

Even if they win 1-2 matches against Australia, there is no chance that they will be able to directly qualify for the ODI World Cup. It is going to be an uphill task for the Zimbabweans. They are playing without some of their best players and that too away from home. With just 5 matches remaining (2 from this series), Zimbabwe is at 12th place with just 35 points. Even if they win all the remaining 5 matches, they will fail to finish among top-8. Maybe now it is time for them to introspect and plan for the next edition.

@GigaBit who was even expecting Zimbabwean team to defeat the mighty Australian side?, and for me personally they were always going to lose hence the end result didn’t surprise me at all. @Sithara007 I don’t think that their board cares about qualifying for any tournament’s, because if they did then they would have planned better and therefore I don’t expect them to plan even for the next edition of the ODI World Cup.

Tsitsipas loses his match against Galan in 4 sets. Lost the first set 6-0! What's going on with Tsitsipas? he was one of the favs to win the tournament and he goes down to world no. 94 in the opening round. Halep lost in the opening round as well. Quite a few upsets on Day 1.

Wow, I really expected wins by both Tsitsipas and Halep, Tsitsipas reaching the final of Cincinnati,
we would have expected the form to continue,  Same with Halep, winning the Canadian Open this
month we would have expected at the very least a first round win.

Luckily I didnt bet on them
At times matches go completely against the expectation. Tsitsipas is on a winning track and everyone believed he would make good progress. Rather than any other sports, it is good to make bets against the odds suggested by the gambling houses. There is more chance of making a win, because many match results will have similar outcomes in the upcoming days.

@romero121 I kinda agree to your statement, because in the past we knew that Federer would win, then came Nadal and Djokovic era where they would win most of their matches and thus wagering on Tennis matches were easy to do, however the current generation is very unpredictable and wagering small amounts against them is not a bad suggestion.

However people should not wager big on unknown player’s to cause upsets, and they should apply the basic rule i.e. to study both the opponent and see if the underdog has any potential of causing an upset like we witnessed in Tsitsipas match.

France's team is looking amazing so far, at least just their attack, Benzima and Mbappe are doing crazy stuff with their clubs by scoring multiple goals and leading their teams to win, with what they have right now they should be favorites to win the world cup but Brazil is, they also have Vinicius Jr and Neymar who both are doing good as well so it makes sense, a match between Brazil and France would be spectacular in the world cup.

Benzema and Mbappe are among world's best, but I have doubts regarding Pogba. It is still not clear whether he will be able to take part in this edition of the world cup. His (possible) absence will be difficult to fill in the midfield, and may put more pressure on players such as N'Golo Kanté and Adrien Rabiot. Compared to forward and defense, mid-field is relatively weak for France. Thomas Lemar is being talked about as a possible replacement for Pogba in case the latter is unable to play. Let's see how he performs in Qatar.
I think pogba will still contribute to this world cup even though he is injured and may not be able to play full time because reportedly he decided not to have surgery in order to contribute to this world cup, so I'm sure Pogba will still be on the pitch and provide support full to his team to keep fighting spirit to win.

@TopT3ns as per the last update Pogba was undergoing therapy which was going very well for him, and that means he’ll most likely be available for the World Cup. However as a football fan we all should know that when a player hasn’t played for long time he’s bound to be rusty, and now that it looks he’ll be available I personally feel that he may turn to be a liability then an asset for the team due to his lack of playing time.

Whoever still had 1% doubts about the new champion of this season, will now have no more doubts, I think. He was really great today, Max. Started from 12th place and after a quarter of the race he was already in first place. It also helps that they have a super car, we saw the weekend that Red Bull was by far the fastest car, but then you have to wonder why Perez couldn't win this race? After all, he started in 2nd place (but had a terrible start). Then Verstappen is still 7 places behind the start. Is Verstappen so much better or Perez much worse?

What Max Verstappen did today was magnificently, leaving just three dated for the first in 20 laps is too few.
I don't remember seeing something like this happen "that often".
RedBull has a fantastic car, we cannot deny that this helped Max a lot to achieve this result, but this would not have been possible without the talent of Verstappen, a perfect combination.

There is no doubt that Verstappen will be champion in 2022.

@Zackgeno96 this was one of the most epic races I have seen in a while, and it made me realise just why I love F1 so much, and though we won’t see many repeats of this happening I feel that Max is racing on another level and currently no one can catch up to him.

Championship was already over before summer break. Max started from P14 today, but winning today was so easy for him that's not even interesting. With Red Bull pace, P3 for Sainz is best what he was able to achieve. Ferrari didn't failed in strategy today, but things can't go well for them - Leclerc got penalty for speeding in pit lane on last pit stop and lost P5 that he got in last lap after overtaking Alonso. Poor Bottas, his race ended after accident with GOATifi and he had no chance to avoid it.
And Alonso radio message about Hamilton was epic - ''This guy only knows to drive starting first'' Cheesy.

@LTU_btc this race once again proves the era of Hamilton is all but over, and it’ll be interesting will he try to his salvage pride by racing next season or will he be humble enough to quit F1 as he already has built a nice legacy.

Terrible lag for the last 2-3 days and I have stopped playing Stake originals until they fix server issues. Despite the Telegram notification of the official channel, it is still lagging like one Plinko ball per second, making it impossible to spam plinko balls. Hopefully, the lag issues will be fixed until Eddie's stream or weekly bonus since traffic will increase during bonus/stream hours..
The number of active users has increased a bit after the release of post-monthly bonus. Stake originals games lag when there are more users than the usual times. And you will see a terrible lag during the weekly boost and stream hours. The speed of the bets decrease when there are more users. That's why I don't play the games at Stake during the stream hours. Although, I'm not facing any lags on Plinko at this moment. But I have faced lags during weekly boost time.
If you pay attention to English chat, majority of users were complaining about lag and freezing slot rounds. I agree, traffic has increased a lot especially during post monthly and stream hours but this time lag was annoying tbh. Even maintance didn't solve it, they had to fix the server issues asap, IMO.

anyone experiencing problem when accessing Stake? its lagging for me, I tried clearing cookies and browser history still experiencing it and when I change to another internet provider I was only experiencing a slight delay.

I just tried to access the site and it seems that they have a new captcha test probably to weed out bots, and post that the site loaded smoothly.

Lastly if one’s yet experiencing issues then I would recommend them to try and use a vpn to see if the issue is particularly for their country, or one can do the standard procedure which has been shared in this forum and often works: 1) use a new search engine, 2) clear cookies for existing search engine or 3) try a different device hopefully one of these steps will work for all.

Big fives getting win in any matches. I think that so many critism can help them all to be even better in every match. Chelsea must become the main concern caused by it was getting a red card but it can still win. Chelsea can play so well even winning the battle against 11 people with almost full time of match. I think that so many big clubs tried to be consistent again despite the fact that competition become even more competitive.
The bad thing is last night almost all of big teams were live in the same time. It's very hard to pick one to be watched.
I watch Manchester City because it's weird if they're lose in their own home, I believe they will comeback either 3-2 or 4-2 and my hope come true. Liverpool already leading 5-0 on the first half it's obvious they will win, Chelsea and Arsenal are strong clubs so I don't think they will lose, while Manchester United I think they would either draw or lose lol. Too bad for Adams his shot were blocked, once again Manchester United fans are happy with this result.

@Despairo I too had a hunch that with Halland on the pitch City could stage a comeback and he didn’t disappoint at all, furthermore Liverpool did surprise me because I never expected them to score 9 goals. Lastly while Manchester United won I felt that the match could have ended in a draw, and I totally agree with Ten Hag as he’s right because there’s definitely lots of room for improvement.

I’m not sure too about this because I’m not whales but some casino indeed requires KYC to user with huge amount of balance due to AML requirements. Some casino just manage to void it for whatever procedure they do to remove it to there license terms but in general AML policy this is required. You will notice this on ToS of online fiat casino that recently convert to crypto.
It's true that some gambling sites require gamblers to submit their KYC when withdrawing big amounts, but there are many other sites that don't require any form of KYC when withdrawing big amounts unless they found something suspicious.

I know some people who withdrew big amounts in this manner and never submitted KYC so far.

@Eternad I believe that they can subject anyone to KYC even if he’s just a new player, and to be honest it’s a safe practise as they’re keen to run their business in a legit way. @Haunebu while there’re casino’s that do not follow KYC, but would you be able to trust them when they don’t follow their own country basic laws so what’s to say that they won’t scam their user’s, and thus in Roobet’s case we know that they follow the law and thus they can be trusted.

I guess I got lucky here with 3 Golden Tickets! And enough RPs for cashing out! All in all, I am satisfied. Smiley

Wow! Bravo!

5 hours left for Spa F1 betting. Sainz was the fastest yesterday, but let's wait for qualifications. I think I will bet on Ferrari (and maybe just a little bet for Verstappen).
Weather will be good this weekend, it is going to be a beautiful race.

@iv4n till date I too have won two golden tickets in two separate rounds, and my suggestion for you now is to try and collect more Golden Tickets because you already have a small start ahead of the competition. @PawGo no point in wagering now, because of the multiplier you’ll get very low returns on your bet, hence always try and wager as early as possible on Freebitco to get higher returns on your bets.

My picks for match day 4 are Haaland, Sterling, Salah, Jesus, Almiron, Watkins and Harry Kane.  I feel extra good about this one.  I really feel like 10k is going straight to my pocket...  Exactly the same feeling I have every match day.  Lol.
Until first game starts and our choice limps off in minute 15 Smiley

My choices are Haaland, Maddison, Jesus, Wilson, Watkins and Kane and of course after getting 6/7 last week this week that 10k goes straight to my pocket. Since we are both so secure in our choices I am thinking both to score on Chelsea match, Newcastle over 1.5 goals and Haaland, Jesus, Kane to score could be a nice multi ticket, odds should be good.



By the way I complained the other day that I only got 25$ for my 6/7 Majestic 7 and I got the other 25$ a day or two later. So my talk to live support got my problem solved but i didn't get any info about it. Would have missed it if I did not check manually. We have to claim our free bets now under bonuses section, they do not show automatically like before.

@tokeweed that’s a nice selection but why Almiron do you really feel that he’ll score again, but even if he doesn’t I feel that you can get many right from your existing selection. @Trofo who’s that mysterious 7th player you have included, but not posted here and your lineup looks pretty strong too me, and therefore I feel that one of you is indeed taking the $10k home once this round ends.

The winner of the 2022 FIFA world cup is between Germany, Spain, and Italy, and my preferences are with the hierarchy I wrote them. I am glad that this list made the poll on this thread, which makes it more assured because the players in the counties are the best in the world. I support Germany to be the winner, Spain to be the second and Italy to be the third. Both Spain and Italy could switch sides too, it does not matter. Germany has it so poor and lucky in the last world cup despite having the best players. They must have learned their lessons and given a fierce fight this time.

Historically, UEFA teams have fared poorly when the tournament is held outside Europe. And despite that you have chosen Germany and Spain to be the winners are runners-up. And I really don't understand how Italy comes in the picture. For heaven's sake they haven't even qualified for the world cup. There was some discussion on Ecuador getting disqualified and Italy entering the world cup as replacement. But FIFA has rubbished such claims. And I am sure that it will be tough for Germany and Spain to progress to the semi-finals stage.

@Sithara007 I too was baffled to read when he chose to put Italy for a contender, and either he believed the rumours or he hasn’t been updated with who qualified for the World Cup. Lastly I feel that you’re right because these two teams are no longer considered dangerous like they were in the past, hence we should consider wagering on them only if odds are good and if they show decent form in their previous matches.

Ronaldo is being rumoured to join Olympic Marseile in France, Desperation to increase the tally against Messi In the UCL has made Ronaldo a riddle of transfer. Just 15 goals separating them . Messi will likely brake Ronaldo UCL record and over all goals In total except the international goal record. Messi is indeed a spoiler to Ronaldo. I understand he's a fighter, a winner, one who doesn't settle for less, but the signs are there for him to see. He has paid his dues, and shone like a million stars, he should leave European club football while the ovation is still echoing.
I don't think so, when he chose to join the Olympique de Marseille it doesn't mean he can compete with Messi who is at PSG, these are two unbalanced forces. This is just a rumor and I'm sure it won't happen even if it's for UCL reasons.
Ronaldo doesn't look happy right now at Manchester United but his age is not young anymore and maybe he will only play 1 or 2 more seasons in Europe's top league before he decides to return to Sporting Lisbon or retire, with his old age making top teams are reluctant to recruit him.
Ronaldo's contract with Manchester United is only 1 season left, I think he will stay there until the contract expires.

I feel that this is media sites attempt to generate clicks towards their site, because it’s an open secret that Marseille can’t afford his wages and secondly if he so wanted to leave why hasn’t he handed in a transfer request. Furthermore the club has the option to extend his contract for one more year next season, which means that he’s not going anywhere unless the club allows him to or he hands in an official request to move away.
1452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 26, 2022, 04:34:25 AM
Lazio and Inter will play tomorrow. I think the chances in this game are not equal and Inter will have to win, although Lazio have not performed badly in recent games. Maybe they can score a goal. Statistically, Lazio have scored goals in almost every home game against Inter. I think we can expect that this time too.
Yes, I also think Inter Milan is still superior to Lazio. Inter Milan looks perfectly in the two early matches this season, so it is difficult for Lazio to surprise them.
Both are equally strong when playing at home which means inter will fight hard to win even better with the squad. A draw is possible, but if Lukaku's performance same as in the 2 last matches, most likely Inter will dominate the match and win. Inter is a favorite besides Milan and Juventus, which means Lazio will play careful and conscientious if want to be one of them, if they slip and are easy to beat, the position will be not far as the last session.

I think the next match when Lazio meets Inter is a nightmare for Lazio because they have to play against a big club that has player strength unlike players from the usual team, most likely Inter will get a win by scoring a lot of goals in this match, and the possibility of Lukaku will not be in the match for the full time because he is still in the process of recovering from his post injury.

I feel that we’re discounting Inter Milan’s chances to win bit too much, because they’re in terrific form and Lazio player’s will feel the heat when they play against them. Furthermore I’m expecting Lukaku to shine in this fixture, and it’s my personal belief that he’ll continue to perform very well in the league, because I’m sure that he wants to prove that he’s a top class player after what happened at Chelsea last season.

It is only the third match that Bayern Munich has played in the Bundesliga so far, but it feels like they will be running away with the title once again this season as well. Bundesliga is one of the most competitive leagues in the world, and Bayern Munich is one of the best teams there is. As a result, the main attraction of the game will be their performance in the Champions League. However, when it comes to the Bundesliga, there is no question that Bayern Munich will come out on top.

It is no doubt Bayern Munich is a great team and even though their big star player is gone their management is doing something to get them a shot at ensuring that they will keep the championship and getting the best players to take upon the role of Lewandowski I think it is a great decision in getting Sadio Mane, Matthijs de Ligt, and keeping Jamal Musiala, for the future of Bayern Munich,
Lewandowski's absence in the squad has been completely replaced with Mane now and it's better in this case after Lewandowski left, Gnarby is also more able to maximize his position now so that's obviously very good because indeed when Lewandowski was there Gnarby was just a cover but now he's turned into a tandem from Mane and this is definitely something very good.

I too am surprised by how well Bayern has coped since Lewandowski left, and this show’s how a football club should be run so that the club can always perform well even when their best player’s leave. Lastly assuming a hypothetical scenario where Bayern drops some points which team do you’ll feel can challenge them, or even when they drop points you’ll feel that it won’t harm their chances of winning the league.

I really look forward to the friendly match between Manchester City and Barcelona. Because of course, the fans want to know which of the two can really win. Judging from the last few weeks, Manchester City performance has always been good, even though in the Premier League they got a surprise from New Castle. Here I am interested to see how Barcelona perform and if they can balance the Manchester City game more. Because clearly, the results are quite influential on the status of Barcelona.
Both have equal performance. that's good to see that if there would be no a huge gap between la liga team and premier league team. Draw is good enough as the result before barcelona will be facing another match. It seems like barcelona can become equal with real madrid once the el clasico will be happening in the future. That's give a lot of insight about how strong barcelona this time. Newcastle was a strong team.
Barcelona has indeed shown its new strength with Robert Lewandowski, all matches will become easier and what must be considered is that teamwork with supporting players must still be considered so that attackers can provide good execution because so far many big teams have failed to win because they did not win. there is good teamwork, so it is difficult for attackers to get good good passes to score goals.
That could be true in la liga but we will see how consistent barcelona when it was facing various competitions at the same time. That would be good if barcelona can win any league but i think that's too early for me to think like that. I just wanna remind you that  if we have also another strong opponent in laliga and that's real madrid. The competition is just getting started. I wanna see how good the result from barcelona until mid of competition to make sure if it has found its best starter match again like when there are iniesta, xavi and messi at the same time in barcelona.

I didn’t see the match but it ended in a draw, and what’s strange is all the player’s who scored for Barcelona are the player’s who’re linked with an exit during this transfer window. Furthermore I wonder if this match will have an impact and maybe Barcelona will decide against selling them, but for now Barcelona can take positives from this match as it’s not always easy to keep Manchester City from winning.
1455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: August 25, 2022, 07:21:13 AM
Spain is good, but not as good as they once were around 2010. Then they became European champions, world champions and European champions again. They were almost unbeatable then. Only at the 2010 World Cup did they lose the opening match against Switzerland. They are certainly not favorites for the world title, but with a good draw and the right players in shape at the time of day, they can beat anyone. That was also seen some time ago when they crushed Germany. The group stage is going to be fun. Germany and Spain are together in the group and it seems to be a battle over who will be first, assuming that the other 2 countries will not play a significant role in this group.
That Spain team is probably one of the best national teams we have ever seen so it is natural they are not as strong as they once were, however they are competitive and they have a chance to win it all, however the fact they have to face Germany on the group phase is without a doubt a problem as Germany in a good day can beat them and they know it, also they will most likely have to face either Croatia or Belgium during the round of 16 and neither of those teams are easy to deal with.


At the moment, I think that both Spain and Germany are not as strong as expected and compared to previous years.
Both teams are going through a phase of player renewal, and they still haven't been able to find a balance point for this new generation.
But of course, as time goes by, they get better, and that's why until the Worlds, things can be different. Even so, I don't see these teams getting very far in the competition.

I feel that I’m being bit harsh but I don’t see either sides as genuine contenders for lifting the World Cup, because they don’t play dominating football anymore and while they may cause an upset or two they definitely won’t win the World Cup.

Furthermore on paper these two sides should qualify from their group, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they had to struggle to qualify hence keep an eye on their form before deciding to wager on them.

I have no idea what is going on with the Zimbabwe cricket board at home at the moment.
The amount of money they receive from the ICC doesn't seem to be being used in a productive manner by them.

Besides, they are getting a decent amount of money from the ICC, compared to what the associates team is getting from the organization. It goes without saying that the corruption in the Zimbabwe cricket board is not helping the situation in any way. After the retirement of Sikandar Raza, I do not see any credible candidates as a replacement for him. Who may be able to carry the Zimbabwe team forward in the future? Sad
I don't know how much interested is the native population in the sport of cricket. They can't rely on the white and Asian players for too long, because that player pool is rapidly vanishing (although still we get quality players such as Brad Evans once in a while). Zimbabwe team until the late 90s used to be all-white, with Madondo, Olonga and Mbangwa being rare exceptions. But times have changed and due to political reasons the vast majority of the white population departed from that country. And unfortunately the black population doesn't seems to be too interested in cricket.
A big issue for few countries in this region like Zimbabwe, South Africa and Zambia they have no good enough black players in cricket and this all happening due to restrictions which set by white rulers few decades back and sadly now they have native black governments, but they completely fail to bring some fair system for all communities just because of this we are watching many issues in South Africa and Zimbabwe fail to bring any better quality and Zambia is also all gone with white players it's all about corruption and few other things which give them set back.

Because, I was feeling South Africa could be role model for many countries as they have resources and change of governments will bring some positive developments but their personal issues and political influence give them more shocks, and now they are still having not good enough system which give them quality players from all communities for national team.
Yes it is true that their team is not good now. If Zimbabwe and South Africa can improve their cricket boards better then their country will produce better players.But I think every government should pay attention to the cultural media that every country has.This civilization in culture can take a country to the heights of recognition and progress.Today there are some countries that people don't know about but through different sports all those countries are known all over the world.That is why I say that every country's government knows that all its cultural games express the importance of games.

I believe that Zimbabwean team never really improved in ODI once their star player’s left, and since then they have only been in a one way decline mode. Furthermore I feel that if they had a strong fan base then it would have helped them put some pressure on their board, but since they don’t have a strong fan base I doubt that we’ll see them improve anytime soon.
1457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: August 24, 2022, 12:39:13 PM
The 1-7 PSG victory is ordinary because they have a team that has world class players. If PSG cannot score 7 goals when Lille has lost enthusiasm in the match, then it is in vain to have a MMN trio. I do not intend to underestimate PSG and Ligue 1, but in Spain (La Liga) and in England (Premier League) the big score is rare, because all teams can provide resistance, even the team at the bottom of the standings can beat the ranking team at the standings.
Ligue 1 teams are relatively less powerful than La Liga and Premier League. However, Lille is not a weak team. Lille was the Ligue 1 champion in the 2020-21 season. Scoring 7 goals against such a renowned team were not easy. PSG played very well. They scored in the first minute of the match. Maybe PSG won't be able to score 7 goals against any Premier League or La Liga team. But if PSG are able to maintain such consistent performance, they are capable of defeating any strong team.
If so, we can also equate great teams outside Europe. They can also beat Europe's great teams if they are able to maintain a consistent performance.
I know that Lille is not a weak team, but the players in the PSG squad are not comparable to the average players in the Ligue 1 squad. Logically, PSG are able to score more than 4 goals when they face other teams in Ligue 1 although on the field luck factor also affects the results.

The PSG versus Lille Match is over and as expected PSG won the match very easily. The score was 7-1 at the end of the match. Kylian Mbappé scored a Hattrick, Neymar scored a brace and Messi scored one goal. The defender Achraf Hakimi also scored one goal. This was a really good performance from PSG. But if I have to nitpick I am going to say they could have done better on the defensive side. But on the attacking side, there is no problem right now. I am glad to see Kylian Mbappé understand that he is a player and not above the team. That is why I think the team is starting to work well. And obviously, the arrival of a new coach for PSG also did well for their performance. Just look at how they started the last season and how they have started the season.

I don’t mean to be rude but if PSG player’s get over confidence by winning against Ligue 1 team’s then they’ll epically fail in champions league matches, and thus they should use these league matches as a practise session to try new tactics that can serve them well in the champions league.

Furthermore the only time we can see some other team challenging them is when a big investor buys a team in this league, and spends crazy money to beat them but until that happens PSG is going to win this league without much resistance.

New Zealand obviously has world-class bowlers, fast bowlers actually. In the spin department, the bowlers that they have are quite competent for limited overs cricket. The spinners must be able to spin the ball quite well and quite a long way if they are going to be very successful in the test format. They don’t have any bowlers like that. In addition, New Zealand as a team is not in form.

Honestly, I did not see them performing very well after they had won the test cricket championship. So keeping these things in consideration I have to say South Africa seems to be the better team at this moment.

Yes.. quite simply they are not in form. Neither the batsmen, nor the bowlers. One of the advantages with the New Zealand pace attack was that there is a very good bonding between them. Boult and Southee always bowl in tandem, supported by Ferguson, Wagner and Milne. Boult recently rejected a central contract from NZC and is concentrating more on franchise T20 leagues. This maybe one of the reasons for the lack of rhythm. But there is no excuse for the recent lack of form shown by Kane Williamson and Devon Conway.

There is no doubt that Kane Williamson is the most consistent player in the New Zealand squad. In almost every match he has played, he has performed well, no matter what the circumstances may be. However, his team is not being able to provide him with the support that he needs to succeed. Neither in terms of batting nor bowling.

In addition, it is understandable why Trent Boult is trying to focus more on franchisee cricket. In franchise cricket, he has more opportunities to make money and gain fame than he has when he plays for the national team. There was a time when things were different. However, now we can't blame him for taking such a decision since he has no choice but to do so.

I believe that New Zealand’s desire to perform well in Test cricket started to drop after they won the test cricket championship, and at this stage the management can drop a few player’s to see if it helps them recover. Furthermore Kane Williamson has done a lot for New Zealand, but he’s also allowed to be out of form on some days and like I said New Zealand will have to drop some player’s and see if their replacement’s perform better.

India is a cricket-crazy nation. I am quite sure that if Virat Kohli is dropped from the team a protest might even take place. While Indians are crazy and want the love and respect that they have for someone, it is nearly impossible for them to lose the love and respect that they have for that person.

But it is a valid point that you raised. Does that actually have the caliber of players like Virat Kohli in place ready for replacement?

If they have then it’s ok, but if they don’t there will be a lot of fingers pointing at them. I think that is why they are still trying to give Virat Kohli another chance.

I will never go to the extent of demanding Kohli's omission from the national team. But the BCCI needs to force him to focus on the game. My guess is that Kohli spends only around 25% of the time on cricket and the rest on Bollywood related activities and advertising. And this may be one of the reasons for his recent lack of form. All that said, I can't deny the fact that India used to be a one-man army in test matches conducted in SENA nations until 4-5 years ago. The team used to depend heavily on Kohli back then.

Virat Kohli has to realize that if he does not perform well in cricket there is no chance for him to succeed in Bollywood or even as a model. He needs to realize that he got recognized because he plays cricket very well and that is why he got recognized.

So if he does not continue the good work in cricket no one will actually give him any importance in any other aspect of life. And BCCA also needs to make sure that he comprehends that. Otherwise, his career is going to be lost and he will not last long...
We once knew Virat Kohli as a very good cricketer. Such a beautiful performance of his batting made everyone very free in the field of play.Everyone was very impressed with his amazing game.But Virat Kohli's poor start to the game will soon lead to his dismissal from cricket in the country.But I'm sure if he gets kicked off the cricket board, he won't be able to do anything better later.And Virat Kohli has such thoughts in his mind.
We should know that form is temporary but class is permanent. Virat is a classic batsman and he has ability to do well in the future. He tries to bat well in the competitive match. Has has proven it many times and I hope he will come back strongly.

I don’t think that anyone will protest if he’s dropped, because Virat’s been in poor form for quiet a while now but due to his past performances he’s been kept in the team. Lastly if he fails to perform in the Asia cup then I believe that BCCI will have no option but to drop him permanently, because he can’t occupy the spot and perform poorly, and it’ll also end the rubbish theory that he’s been kept in the team because of pressure from the sponsors.

Second leg for play off match today and as a host Benfica will more comfortable to faced this match because they already win 2-0 before and recently i had seen Benfica records that since last season until now Benfica can get 11 consecutive won so this proven they were quite strong especially play at their home ground and for today match Benfica had good opportunity to win the match but i'm thinking they will not force to win the match and want to playing safe so possibly they will playing more defensive than first leg and for bet purpose probably under 2.5 goals is good
Yes, Benfica's advantage in the second leg match against Dynamo Kyiv is because Benfica is the host and Benfica has pocketed 2-0 on aggregate in the first leg of the playoffs last week, and now is the time for Benfica to defend its position.
and Dynamo Kyiv have to fight extra because in a position behind them playing at home which I think is difficult, because Benfica will not let Dynamo Kyiv win and Benfica will continue to attack, and also defend.

@bering I totally agree with your assessment and definitely Benfica should progress ahead, but I feel that they’ll sit back more rather than try for a third goal. Lastly it’s champions league so Dynamo will know that upsets can happen, hence I’m sure that they’ll push for a result therefore my prediction for this fixture is 1 - 1 or 2 (Dynamo) - 1 (Benfica).
