If you really a Cristiano Ronaldo fan, you will watch Arab League especially when his club matches against the other club, there's nothing impossible since there's a live streaming. I just hope after Manchester United kick Ronaldo, they will suffer lose streak and it would make Ten Hag decision to kick Ronaldo is a worst decision. There's must be a big problem why Ronaldo can answer like that. Don't forget Ronaldo never make any problem after Erik Ten Hag was become his manager.
Why do you think Ten Hag's decision not to have 37-year-old Ronaldo was the wrong one? I just think every team even the top teams will do some rejuvenation of their squad because obviously the older players are not going to be as fast and as good as one would expect from their performances. I know Ronaldo was the best at Manchester United in previous years but the same goes for Real Madrid, who previously sold Ronaldo to Juventus.

You have to be oriented to the needs of the team, not to your desire to keep one of your aging stars. After all I don't think Manchester United have done one big mistake for Ronaldo, but I just believe Ronaldo has made a big mistake to return to Manchester United at the end of his career. Maybe this would also have happened to Messi had he returned to Barcelona, ​​his age doesn't do much to the wishes of the team and the fans so he would have been under a lot of stress psychologically.

I can see that Cristiano Ronaldo actually made a mistake going to Manchester United because he actually carried that team on his back in the first season that he played for Manchester United. But his performance did drop in the second season and from the second season.

It is hard to say that Cristiano Ronaldo could have performed better if he played for another club. But I thought Cristiano Ronaldo is generally a very perspicacious person. So he should have been ready for these types of situations at this stage of his career. And I think he made the right decision. Even though he has a lot of money, this was the right decision to make because if he just sat around, hoping to get a team, he wouldn’t have achieved anything.

It's not that I dislike Cristiano Ronaldo; it's just that he hasn't played well for quite a while. In the course of a player's career, his form declines, he sits on the bench, and he then plays outside of European football for a couple of years. As Ronaldo, this feels more than just a story about him securing a salary that would suit his view of himself as the greatest footballer.

After being rejected by every giant club in Europe, it is a cruel irony of fate. Thanks to Cristiano, the entire world will pay attention to Al Nassr and the Saudi League.

Almost 75 minutes in the game and still a goalless score in wolves vs man united game, either manager has managed to change the game with the subtitutions, its an important game for both teams because the win get wolves out of the relegation zones and put man united in the fourth position that enable them to play the champions league this situation will make the last 15 minutes either boring or extremely entertaining.
In the 78th minute, Rashford brought the Manchester United team to a 1-0 lead, a very strong game and struggle by Wolves in this leg, with Wolves' strong defense making it difficult for strikers from Manchester United to penetrate past his defense. in the match earlier I was amazed by the accuracy of this Wolves player's kick, but unfortunately Manchester United has a reliable goalkeeper to guard the net.
Therefore, Man United fought hard for their victory. It has always been an exciting matchup between the reds and the wolves. It is Rashford's prime time. With a brilliant goal in the 76th minute, Manchester United enter the top four of the Premier League. Even though the performance was not the best, the clean sheet and three points are more important.

Not to make a FUD, but their shilling method is what makes me (personally) unsure about this project. FYI, they have online marketplace that operates in Indonesia, with the domain https://pimarket.id/, it is very clear this is an illegal operation, because they use PI as payment on their platform. As I mentioned, using other than Rupiah (IDR) for buying anything is illegal in Indonesia. so, at any time the market service is likely to be taken down in Indonesia and the real FUD may come for this project.
They already made a statement and clear that they are not the one who initiated the listing and its different on their own Pi network, so I don't think if this is just their shilling strategy to make another hype with the project or those exchanges really don't care about what is real or not and they just want to attract users on their platform because of this listing. I'm not familiar that much about Pi network, I just heard this before and got no interest about this, there's still a risk here so be careful.
my guess is, this is done by the team itself. however, their coin-holding community has grown large. but most of the coins are still locked. this is just an effort by the team to make the community have high expectations of what they have done.
after the news of PI being traded, now many people are looking on social media to buy PI. isn't that a successful strategy by project developers? but I'm not sure it will last long.

That's right! As soon as the real coin launches, it will crash hard. It is important not to get excited just because you have done the math and own a few thousand Pi. When it goes live, it has zero chance of being sold at a reasonable price. It will instantly drop to less than a cent due to the sell pressure.

A price is meaningless if you cannot trade, withdraw, or deposit.  DYOR.

$20 in how many years do you think? No doubt, Polygon is a solid blockchain and has the potential to really do well in long term. In my opinion, 20$ may not be achievable in 5 years taking into account the current conditions of the cryptocurrency space. Well, nothing is impossible, I'm bullish on Polygon (MATIC) for a long term.
But the coming bull season won't hinder this from happening at least .


MATIC is one of the most promising project crypto market ever had , and like what sais ? it has a solid Blockchain and this is why many believes in its future though I also believe that in long term it will.

but in 5 years there are lot of things to happen so lets not close the door from that.
Yeah, that's what they say, and I'm doing that, but I should have just held MATIC instead. My biggest bag is MATIC, which is why I'm not broke right now.

As for me, I'm also waiting, but I'm always curious to see what other people are looking at.

Among those, Matic stands out as the best. DCA'ing into matic, all other stuff is trash. In the midst of a free fall in traditional markets, quality projects just continue to rip, but I will never be able to settle down permanently. Change is always welcome since there are a lot of things to happen.

Do you have any plan to place bet on New Zealand win? The odds is 3.20× for New Zealand win.
Way too risky. Pakistan can easily continue defending on this highway thanks to players like Imam, Babar etc which is why I bet on draw result at 1.18 odds.
Babar Azam, who was a dependable player, is gone. Currently, Babar and Sarfaraz Ahmed are playing. The Pakistani team lost four wickets but still trailed by 63 runs.

One possibility is that the match will be drawn, and the other is that New Zealand will win. For me, it is unfair to say that this game is already beyond New Zealand's control.

Shocked to learn that Pant almost died in a car crash a little while earlier.

https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/2998671

The car was totally burnt to a crisp. I have no idea as to how he managed to survive that without major injuries. This accident could have ended his life or career. He's one of the best cricketers at present and I hope that he recovers quickly.
It's terrible news. Upon waking up, I heard this sad news.
He suffered from a very dangerous accident. In accordance with reports, Rishabh Pant's knee and forehead are his main injuries. He will undergo surgery.
Since he has been one of the major contributors for the last four years, the Indian test team will suffer. For India, this could be a fatal blow in the upcoming Australian series. A speedy recovery is wished to the Indian superstar.

We know Haaland is one of the best players in the world, but I think he is still young and there will be times when we will play better.
Even now, he manages to break many records despite this young age Smiley
Look at Haaland, he is young, only 22 years old but he has scored 181 goals, nearly 200 goals. Will Haaland scores enough 1000 goals before his retirement?

Mbappe is 24 years old but has only 222 goals, not too much more than Haaland.
It's huge. All records are going to be broken by him. The fact that he's playing for a team like City makes that seem more likely. He may retire without playing in the World Cup because scoring for Norway will be much more difficult.

The next big thing will be Mbappe and Haaland if Messi and Ronaldo fade away. There will be a couple of years when they share the stage dominantly. Neither can be avoided!

During PSG's match against Strasbourg, Neymar was sent off for diving. The referee deserves a lot of credit. It would be great if more people acted with courage when blatant dishonesty is exposed. PSG had a very difficult time winning the match. Mbappe saved the day at the last minute, almost bringing most of us to tears. PSG's Kylian Mbappe scores the winning goal in the 96th minute. It was Mbappe who saved investors. Thanks to him, we won. I bet on PSG to win, and I won.

Bloody hell 191 overs  Shocked

Poor bowlers but i guess Pakistan deserves this treatment after creating an absolute road. They turned out to be an amazing host tho as they handed out tons to every freaking batter in every match in 3 historic series. Rambo did a fair amount of good work for Pakistani cricket but if i am being honest then he should be spanked publicly for this Flat track fuckery.


As far as I'm concerned, Karachi's pitch failed to meet our expectations, and it deserves this treatment after playing test cricket on flat roads. At home, Pakistan is struggling very badly. The match's outcome will be determined by the first session tomorrow. Pakistan will be unable to avoid defeat if New Zealand captures three or four wickets in the first session tomorrow.

Argentinian young talent, Enzo Fernandez in Chelsea's sights, according to rumors, currently Chelsea are ready to offer Fernandez for € 127m (source) to Benfica. A very fantastic price for this player. Because previously not many paid attention to him, the World Cup skyrocketed his name by becoming the best young player at the World Cup 2022. Even though he is being linked with Chelsea, Fernandez admits that he doesn't know anything (source).

My opinion is that this is a terrific deal for Enzo Fernandez as he has shown for the past few years that he has tremendous potential on the pitch. There's no doubt that he had a stellar World Cup season with champions Argentina, and he deserves all the attention that he is getting at the moment. It is true that he might be a worthwhile addition to the Chelsea squad. This is because Chelsea may want a central midfielder as they attempt to build a bit of squad depth in that position. However, I personally feel that €127 million is a bit excessive.
There's no way that kid can afford that much money. It would be a waste of his talent to sit on the bench with all their other big signings.
Enzo Fernandez, it is reported, is wanted by Chelsea, but Benfica will not sell for less than 105 million euros. His World Cup season with Argentina was stellar, so this is not surprising. Despite having money, Chelsea invests in players that aren't helping them.

The match between Pakistan and New Zealand now looks boring as hell. I am watching this live on Sony Sports HD5. The Pakistani bowlers are unable to take wickets, and New Zealand batsmen are in no hurry to score runs. Kane Williamson is nearing his century, but his strike rate has remained below 50. BTW, in the other test match something unfortunate happened. Cameron Green will be out of action for 1-2 months, as he has suffered a fracture in one of his fingers. He will be missing the remainder of the BBL, but fortunately he will be able to participate in the IPL.
A top-of-his-game Kane Williamson scores a century against Pakistan. There is a lack of wickets being taken by Pakistani bowlers on a regular basis at home. Due to their lack of regular wicket-taking, watching their bowling action is quite boring nowadays. The track is flat and boring.

BTW, in the other test match something unfortunate happened. Cameron Green will be out of action for 1-2 months, as he has suffered a fracture in one of his fingers. He will be missing the remainder of the BBL, but fortunately he will be able to participate in the IPL.
In addition to being ruled out of the Sydney Test, Cameron Green will also be sidelined for at least a couple of months with his fractured finger. There looks to be more disappointment in store for the Australian squad. The Sydney Test is also in doubt for Michel Starc.

Good decision by the selectors to remove Kholi, Rahul and Rohit from the T20 squad. KL Rahul should now be able to focus on his batting if not then he might get dropped from all format of cricket. I hope the vice captain responsibility does not affect SKY's batting. Big responsibility give to Hardik as he is the capitan and vice captain in both the format. Sanju Samson is in the squad but will he be part of 11 is still not certain. Strange Risha Panth dropped in both format in this bilateral series.
Agreed, the next t-20 WC is scheduled in 2024 so by that time Kohli and Sharma ji are going to be 36 and 37yo respectively so ideally the process of team transition should start right now and if selectors are considering this solution then prop to them.


As the BCCI selects squads to play Sri Lanka in a bilateral series, some difficult decisions were made. It is important for the team transition to commence right now, as it was for their selection panel. Kohli and Rohit dropped out of the T20 squad, but how does this affect their performance? There was a time when they played like legends. It was a golden era. As the transition progresses, we'll see how it goes.

Overall Manchester United played well but this cannot be used as a benchmark that they are back on track because their opponent is Nottingham
However Nottingham is not an equal opponent for Man United they have to prove it against stronger teams one of them is the match against Manchester City in mid-January.
Not at all a worthy opponent of Manchester United because the game of Marcus Rashford and friends who entered the starting eleven played well including those who came off the bench were able to score goals. If Manchester United are only able to win 1 goal let alone end up losing, then United can be called a club that cannot beat a weak team like Nottingham.

Every club that Manchester United will face in the Premier League is a test for them to return to the championship path. No exception, starting from the bottom, middle to top teams for us it is a challenge to get the best results.

We're delighted with the Red Devils' boxing day result and we're excited for the new year.
Rashford was the striker Manchester United fans condemned last season. Oftentimes, football players have rough seasons because either the manager or the team is not doing well. Rashford is one of my favorite players because of his style of play and the serious way he handles the ball.

United defeat Forest at home to earn all three points. No more controversy because there is no way to narrow down a win based on the fact that your opponent does not meet your standards. Let's put an end to this nonsense and challenge others. One point separates them from fourth-placed Spurs. Flying to the top 4 soon. If Manchester United continues the way they're playing now, they'll have a good chance of winning the Premier League next season.

Psg next game will be against strasbourg the team on the 19th position the only win they got this season is against the last team angers its a difficult situation they are in despite how well they performed last season, i think psg coach will give rest to some players especially messi and mbappe i expect psg team to win even without them.

PSG will be able to win their matche against Strasbourg whether they play with Messi and Mbappe or not. PSg has quality players which Strasbourg doesn't have.
The Epl started today and big clubs won their first match, it is expected that when legue 1 resumes, PSG should also be able to win their first match.

It seems, PSG will start the match in the second half of this season without being filled with some of their main pillar players. if I refer to some of the media that I read, Mbappe, Hakimi, are doubtful that they will play against Strasbourg later. while for Nuno Mendes, he will be absent due to his injury. and apparently, Messi will also be absent in the match later. so, it looks like PSG will not play with a full squad.

fortunately, Strasbourg was not a difficult opponent for them to beat. moreover, PSG is playing at home, Parc des Princes. and according to several sources that I read, Galtier will partner two players, namely, Neymar and Hugo Ekitike for PSG's front line. even so, the predicted lineup for PSG could change because we don't know for sure what Galtier will do later. well, if it turns out that Mbappe, Messi, will certainly be absent in the match later. Can PSG win the game with a landslide score? according to my predictions, very doubtful.

I look forward to the second half of this season, which is starting up again with the same uncertainties. My best wishes go out to Nuno Mendes for a speedy recovery. However, Messi will remain at home because he is still on holiday. Next Tuesday, PSG expects Messi to return to the club. As League 1 gets underway, Mbappe and Neymar are both expected to play. On December 29, PSG will play Strasbourg in League 1. In the match against PSG, Strasbourg won't try to keep up the pressure even though Mbappe, Messi, Neymar, and Hakimi will be absent.

Manchester City still haven't played and will compete tomorrow but seeing as their opponent actually has a big chance for second place is still very clear because I think the difference of 1 point from Newcastle doesn't really mean anything.
Their condition is also still quite good although sometimes Leeds has a few surprising times when facing big teams I don't think this is too much of a problem for Manchester City.
But saying Arsenal's strong competition is a real thing this season, it's good that some big teams are also starting to stretch like Liverpool who managed to win although it's a shame that Tottenham couldn't get full points.
I expect Brighton and Newcastle to be very challenging. It's going to get harder as the season progresses. While Manchester City isn't giving up, second place is still very clear, but to be honest, Arsenal would be tough to beat. This season, the Arsenal boys are taking things seriously. There is so much motivation among them, and I am loving it. The gunners dominated and displayed a master class. As a side capable of going all the way, Arsenal fought like champions. Man City are waiting out there, and Arsenal has a good side. Tomorrow, Manchester City will face Leeds.

I hope that with this signing, Liverpool's attack will improve a lot in the next games, but Liverpool still needs players in the defense, which is the most problematic place in the team because there are players who seem to have not been making much effort in that area of the team, it's up to the coach looking for a good player for defense
IMO Liverpool already have enough defenders and those players aren't often injured, so substitution isn't really needed. Liverpool has many star defenders:Van Dijk, Arnold, Robertson, Gomez and Konate. While Liverpool is only have 5 strikers, 3 of them are currently injured, since Liverpool usually use 4-3-3 strategy, they need to find one more striker and it's Cody Gakpo.

I think the reason why many striker doesn't want to join Manchester United is people will think the new striker is replacing Ronaldo position, which make it's not easy for them. They need to have a good mental and high skill in order to make people didn't attack him when he's playing bad.
Cristiano talked about the following in his interview with Manchester United. There are a lot of basketball heads on Man United's board. The United team is far behind in terms of infrastructure and technology, which every player wants from their club. Players will turn United down unless and until their training complex is upgraded to a modern facility.

The signing is a good one for Liverpool as a whole. Once again, United is too busy talking to do anything.

This test match is turning out to be a completely one sided one. Hardly any South African bowler has been effective today. Smith might now reach is century as he has already scored 60 runs. If Warner and Smith stay on the pitch the whole day then 300+ runs can be easily achieved by the Australian team.
Yet, we're watching David Warner who is putting on a masterclass of his own. There is nothing new about this performance from the Aussies. A record stand was put on by Warner and Smith to take control of the game. SA is facing difficulties with bat and ball, despite being a great test team. They are lacking high-quality players, and that is a sad reality.

Even though this is quite a big loss, of course this should not be used as an excuse to make them feel that losing Gabriel is everything.
They still have some talented young players, and with their current compactness of course the hope is very big that this can be something good for them.
Hopefully someone can replace Gabriel's position properly later.
Arsenal will certainly make purchases of players strictly in this transfer market because Gabriel Jesus is one of the core players who is highly relied on while other players are not necessarily able to do that,
so it is certain that Arsenal will look for replacement players who have the same expertise as Gabriel Jesus.
But until now this kind of thing still looks cliché and there hasn't been any progress in this regard.
Let's hope Arteta can find the right players in this regard because it would be better if they move from now on.
The current condition is Nketiah and Martineli can still be used as options but Martineli is also needed in midfield as a second striker so I don't think there is a need to gamble with that and they have to put Martineli in a normal position.
In my opinion, what matters is how Arsenal finishes the season, so maybe they will finish outside their comfort zone. It looked like Arsenal would have a good season before the world cup, however, they lost their most important players to injury at the world cup. Although they may have lost important players, not players like there are many, their dream of winning the premier league remains intact.

I think the change of sarfaraz in place of Rizwan give a huge strength to Pakistani batting lineup, this is the first change of new chief selector Shahid Afraid and it's worth. 
we know Rizwan is phenomenal player he build too much record in few years and placed himself on first spot in T20 batter ranking. But from his performance it's clear that he is best in short format cricket like T20 and ODI rather than performing in test matches, ln recent World cups and Asia Cup he was the only performer after baber who help team in difficult situation.


Pakistan recovered nicely after losing 3 early wickets today. Pakistan at the moment is 243/4, and what a come back by Sarfraz after 4 years. He is not out on 84 along with Babar, who is on 145. I don't know much about the pitch, but stats telling that this must be a balanced pitch that has something for both bowlers and batsmen. Pakistan will try to avoid third consecutive home series loss.
Great comeback and the batting from Babar Azam is as usual. There is a saying Pakistan is a team that depends on very few players. Even in today's match this has been proven with the performance of Babar Azam when team is struggling to maintain good partnership. End of 85 overs Pakistan have scored 306 runs with 153* from Babar Azam and 86* from Sarfaraz.
Sarfaraz's selection by Pakistan's chief selector was welcomed. Sarfraz Ahmed is an extremely reliable player, so I had no doubt he would do well in test matches. While Sarfaraz was unable to convert 86 to a century, Babaz Azam finished the day on a high note as Pakistan finished with a solid score. Babar Azam and Sarfaraz should not always bail out the opening batters. While Sarfaraz missed out on his well-deserved century, he played a superb knock. Pakistan are 317/5 after 90 overs
