The PNG team showed little anger in the Afghanistan vs Papua New Guinea match. The team was all out after batting just 95 runs in the first innings due to which the Afghanistan team seems to be successful in meeting the target. Afghanistan team gave a great bowling performance due to which PNG team lost wickets very easily and could not increase the run rate. Afghanistan team is much more experienced and strong than PNG so they will surely win today's match easily. Afghanistan team has already lost three wickets to meet the target of 96 runs but the Afghans will surely succeed in meeting this small target today. At the moment, Afghanistan need to collect 35 runs from 58 balls to win, although there are still enough wickets and balls to win easily.
Papua New Guinea very disappointing performance in this world cup losing all three matches. Papua New Guinea scored a low target of 95 runs All out against Afghanistan. Afghanistan won by 7 wickets. Afghanistan team easily chased down the target of 101 runs in a loss of 3 wickets and qualified for the final of the Super Eight round. The man of the match award to Fazalhaq Farooqi for his outstanding bowling performance picked 3 important wickets by just giving only 16 runs in his bowling spell. Afghanistan team is amazing by winning all three matches in this World Cup and top of the table after beating Papua New Guinea. What a team Afghanistan is and its players are putting everything into winning the game they played that's how they deal with teams nowadays and PNG lost their 3rd game but what a team performance by Afghanistan under Rashid's captaincy and qualifies for super 8. |

In the 27th match of Bangladesh vs Netherlands team, Bangladesh team won the match by 25 runs. Bangladesh team came to bat and scored 159 runs for 5 wickets in 20 overs. Bangladesh team batsmen Shanto and Litton Das did not do well. Shakib Al Hasan and Tanzid Hasan both played excellent batting. The Netherlands team came to bat and lost 8 wickets in 20 overs and scored 134 runs. The Netherlands team could not win by exceeding the target given by the Bangladesh team.
Good performance by Bangladesh and they are very much near to qualifying for the super 8 after another victory but the Netherlands performed very well until they lost their 3 wickets in 14 -15 over and lose the game very much. |

Any idea how Leverkusen is going to perform in the Champions League competition?
I actually want to see Leverkusen from well in the Champions League competition. For some reason, I also want to see a final between Real Madrid and Leverkusen. I think because I want to see how great coaches, Alonso and Ancelotti does against each other. I understand that this is not a good comparison and probably there is a very high chance that Real Madrid is actually going to win very easily. Because of the track record that they have in the Champions League. But it will still be something to watch. The expectation is really high from Leverkusen. I hope they will be able to deliver properly on that.
Leverkusen can perform very impressive this season in the bundesliga and the europa league even though they failed to win the championship trophy, but compared to other teams this season in the top 5 European leagues, of course Leverkusen is the best team in my opinion, the depth of the squad, the cohesiveness and also the mentality they have are able to surprise us, next season of course Alonso will have a hard job to be able to repeat their achievements this season, At the moment of course it is difficult for us to predict what will happen to Leverkusen next season considering the transfer market that is indeed possible for players to come and go, at the moment some Leverkusen players are rumored to be close to other clubs so I think it will greatly affect their performance next season. The Champions League is the tightest competition so far, in addition to needing luck, of course teams such as Leverkusen, Atlanta, Girona and also Bologna of course need squad depth, player quality and of course mentality to be able to compete in the Champions League, I appreciate all of Leverkusen's achievements this season with their ability to maintain their performance, but for the Champions League next seadon of course it seems their that it is not very ready in my opinion, I think next season Manchester City and also Madrid will again be a team that is indeed fiercely competing in winning the championship trophy. Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso performed brilliantly well and just faced a few defeats in their matches and everyone is hoping that they performed good in UEFA Champions league and surprise everyone . |

Alright buddy, I hear ya, but let's gently slow down crowning Arne Slot just now. Replacing Klopp ain't easy. There is no mercy in the Premier League; every club is out for blood. So, let's be honest even as much as I wish to see the trophy. Champions League qualification, that's the bare minimum. Perhaps he is not the guy if Slot cannot even get us there
Still, Slot has time to shape this team to his vision. Even Klopp started to experience increasing discomfort at first. Allow the man an opportunity to establish himself. Should he bring us into the Champions League and exhibit some great potential, perhaps, just maybe we could start fantasising about a title the next season
I agree to be honest, it’s going to be really tough for him. Maybe that’s the reason Alonso didn’t feel like taking the job. Replacing Klopp is maybe impossible because not just the trophies, the connection with the fans is so hard to make. We will soon see if Slot has the credentials, I am not convinced but ready to support him. Slot's Liverpool must leave Klopp's Liverpool behind, but it will be very difficult. With Klopp, Liverpool had leveled up and they were fantastic. I was sure that they would have continued with Klopp if he had not resigned as coach. Now Liverpool is starting another excitement with Slot. I hope he succeeds in this. The team is generally composed of good players and they can be ready for next year with a few good transfers. Arne Slot is a good coach and we as a Liverpool fan always hope that he will lift the team after klops departure. Arne has some good managerial qualities which help Liverpool to rise their standard more and win the titles for the fans. |

USA ended up with 110-8 against India, with tailenders Shadley van Schalkwyk and Jasdeep Singh adding valuable runs towards the end. At one point it looked as if they may get to 130, but even this score is quite good given the fact that the tracks so far have been very supportive towards the bowlers. Still India may walk away with 2 points from this match, and USA need to contend with the fact that this match may not do much damage to their net run rate (which may be important later on).
It is a good total on this pitch and early wickets cause a lot of problems for the Indian team but what a performance by Arshdeep Singh. The way India restrict the USA is amazing and now they are trying to achieve this target and secure their position in the final 8. |

Erik Ten Hag is staying considering the poor and good form he put the Red Devils. The board gives him a second chance to do better and we know he's competent for the managerial position. Erik Ten Hag have been the best manager in recent seasons for Manchester United. He won them two significant titles in two season and we know how straight it have been for the Red Devils. Manchester United will push for excellent positions next season because they've arrived with trembling points and form will be really massive.
After considering this season's review, it has been decided that Erik ten Hag will remain at Old Trafford. Professionally, I consider this a good decision as an opportunity for ten Hag because in a short period of time it is impossible for the head coach of a team to immediately step on the gas as management hopes. Who knows, the opportunity given by Manchester United could make the Red Devils achieve positive results next season. Ten Hag was also not so bad when he managed to give the trophy to Manchester United. Talking about Erik ten Hag's opportunity, I remember Arne Slot who will be undergoing his first season in the Premier League with Liverpool. In my opinion, it is a good decision taken by Man U management, and it's good for Man U to start the season in a very good way. Ten Hag lifts this team and builds it very amazingly and I am sure you will see them performing like an Old Man U in the coming EPL season. |

I've never seen Kylian Mbappe perform disappointingly, maybe he doesn't score goals or assists or statistically, he doesn't play like he usually does, but surely many people will agree that he is a fairly stable player, which is why Real Madrid is trying to ensure he plays at a big club.
Mbappe is not God and he is not able to bring 3 points to his club in every match. He is not able to score goal in all matches and I am sure we can find disappointed matches and individual performances of Mbappe through his career so far from Monaco to PSG and French national team. In fact, because of the presence of the captain of the French national team, many have predicted that Real Madrid will not only be able to defend the Laliga title but also the Champions League title and that is certainly not impossible for Real Madrid because they are one of the clubs that can achieve this while other big clubs are only occasionally unable to defend it in the following season, but still predicting that Real Madrid will defend the Champions League title is too early because the group draw has not yet been held.
He is one of best attacking players recent years and he will help Real Madrid to attack better next season. With competitiveness of Real Madrid, Mbappe will play for a club which usually is considered as one of best competitors for Champions League title nearly every season. It will be biggest surprise if Mbappe won't win any Champions League with Real Madrid in coming years and if it happens, we can say it is like destiny of Mbappe. It's not easy to happen because Mbappe has a long career ahead and he will have enough time and seasons to play for Real Madrid and win Champions League with them. Mbappé is still young, with a long career ahead of him. So if he performs aggressively from now then he can perform better later. Mbappe can give Real Madrid a good dream because until now the Real Madrid team has been strong enough, then the Real Madrid team has become even stronger due to the addition of Mbappe to the club. And these titles from the present to the future must be won. He is a very good player with a good career ahead in football his performance is simply amazing and in Real Madrid it's very interesting to see him playing with Kroos and other intelligent players. |

But with the current situation, if Ten Hag is retained, the team will still not be able to improve. The club should replace Ten Hag with Mauricio Pochettino, who left Chelsea last month. I believe the new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe will have to make a change. He doesn't want to see the money he invested in the club gradually decline.
MU leaders should have fired Ten Hag right after the FA Cup final. However, the emotional victory over Man City brought a new wave of support for coach Ten Hag from the fan community. Fans continue to put their trust in Erik ten Hag. This fact is making it difficult for Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who decides the future of Ten Hag.
Has the Man United board done a sensible thing? I think it makes sense. They need to support this guy with all the resources, and Man United will be great again. He deserves at least one year after the FA Cup final. Winning 2 trophies in 2 years while dealing with so much drama and many setbacks isn't bad. He loves the club, and as expected Man United board has shown their support for him, so I'm sure he'll do well with proper backing and more confidence. I support the stance that Ten Hag was given another chance because it has always been obvious The Manchester United owners has been the core problem but at Lear now they don't have much as Jim is now among the owners, who will think will make things better. Now we're going to see the kind of support Ten Hag get from him and how he is able to utilise these resources to produce an efficient result more than before to show there's a chance of him to bring United back to their days if glory It was confirmed by Sky Sports that Ten Hag is not going anywhere and get its contract extended with other terms and conditions personally this is a good decision by Man U management. Ten Hag is doing good with Man U team and players. |

Nepal vs Sri Lanka
Sad to see another match being abandoned due to rain. The timing and place of this tournament has been a bad one. A world cup should have been prioritized over any other games. The rain now could be a deciding factor for making a team to qualify for the super 8s and some not.
Today's match of Nepal vs Sri Lanka was very important for Sri Lanka. As the Sri Lankan team was badly defeated in two consecutive matches, Sri Lanka would definitely have a chance to win against Nepal in today's match. But the match was abandoned due to rain and Sri Lanka had to share the points with Nepal. To be honest Sri Lanka's fate is very bad. Because the Sri Lankan team was knocked out of the Super 8 due to the fact that they lost the first two matches in the T20 World Cup badly. But if the match had not been abandoned today due to rain, Sri Lanka would have easily won against Nepal, but that's what happens with bad luck. After this draw, Sri Lanka is almost out of the World Cup and its chances of going into the Super 8 are almost gone. Matches that are abandoned without playing any ball hurt both teams as they are closely focused on run rate and points. |

Namibia vs Australia
That was a short match with Namibia being all out making 72 in 17 overs. Australia chasing the target of 73 completed it in 5.4 overs losing a wicket. Australia surely is one of the favorite for the cup and Namibia is lucky to meet them in this platform.
That was looking a one sided match and Australia proved it. First of all Australia won the toss and chose to bowl first and they bowled excellently. I appreciate the bowling of Adam Zampa who collected 4 wickets. And at the end Australia restricted Namibia at 72 runs and all team of Namibia got out. And then Australia started their turn and they played really and they lost only one wicket and they chased the target in 5.4 overs. And the target was not high Namibia gave only 73 runs target and Australia chased it easily. Congratulations to Australia for this massive win against Namibia. A one sided game from a Champion team Australia about how you perform against a low-level team and improve your RUN RATE. Australia performed like a champion in every match either its a big game or small. |

In today's Pakistan vs Canada 22nd match, Canada team came out to bat and scored 106 runs in 20 overs losing 7 wickets. Pakistan team will win the match by easily surpassing the target of 7 wickets in 20 overs. Pakistan team is now coming out to bat. .Scored 36 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 7.1 overs.Pakistan team batsman Saim Ayub was dismissed for 6 runs from 12 balls.Mohammad Rizwan scored 20 runs from 25 balls.Babar Azam scored 7 runs from 10 balls.
Finally 2 points for Pakistan and register their 1st victory in the World Cup. I think the Pakistan team did not deserve to be in the Super 8. The USA's performance is far better than Pakistan's. Let's hope things go in Pakistan's favor and Pakistan still qualifies for Super 8. |

Pakistan team was under heavy Indian bowling pressure in this game, due to which they came at the last minute and lost by six runs. Mohammad Rizwan in particular scored 31 runs off 44 balls, although he performed well as an opening batsman but was far behind in terms of runs. If he could have performed a little bit better then surely Pakistan team could have come in the last minute to win, like Naseem Shah he has performed well enough but unfortunately he could not hit the boundary in the last ball.
If Osman Khan, Imad Asim, Mohammad Rizwan had performed this well, there would have been a chance to win. Because the margin of victory was a small margin of 6 runs, but the players of the Indian team did not perform well in terms of batting, but they performed well in terms of bowling.
Game awareness in cricket especially in the shorter format is very important every player should be aware of the situation and also handle the pressure. Rizwan knows his importance in the crease while chasing the target but he goes against India's top bowler and through his wicket in a very tough situation after that Imad Iftikhar and Shadab do the rest work and build a lot of pressure on team Pakistan in the chase situation and within 10 mins win predictor from 92% drops to 43% just because of their dots and not going for a big hit. All credit goes to the Indian pace attack they continually build pressure on Pakistan and its middle order. |

Bangladesh could not win the match despite keeping South Africa within such few runs. At one time the equation was that Bangladesh would have to score fewer runs than balls to win but Bangladesh made that simple equation much more difficult later.
Mahmudullah picked up the ball on the fifth ball of the innings and the ball would have crossed the boundary line had the South African fielder not fielded brilliantly. I will not say that Bangladesh lost this match only because of Bangladesh's failure, there were some faulty decisions by the umpires.
In all these major ICC events, ICC uses their elite panel amperes but such wrong decisions are not really expected by these elite panel amperes. Several white balls they considered as legal balls as well as they gave up without claiming LBW, it was seen here that several decisions went against them.
All in all, if Bangladesh could have won then maybe we would have forgotten everything but that was not the case.
Pakistan and Bangladesh could not handle the pressure and were not aware of the situation that when to hit the ball and when to stop or take singles. Another worst thing that happened to team Bangladesh is ICC's sluggish rule about dead balls and at the end of the day, those 4 runs cost Bangladesh a lot. |

Finally, people's predictions were coming true since they were talking the possibility for conte to recruit lukaku. Napoli made its initial proposal for Lukaku but it fell far short of Chelsea's asking price and it was not making chelsea feels satisfied with it. Chelsea wants €38 million, but Napoli valued him at €15 million which is farrrrr below the asking price by chelsea. This is far beyond Chelsea's expectations. It is clear that Chelsea is unwilling to sell him; the offer was not even close to what Chelsea desired.
Napoli is a joke. He was thinking that Chelsea sorely needed money right now. Chelsea may be able to give Lukaku another chance to play in the Premier League as they await a suitable offer to deal with. Things have been quite challenging for Lukaku at the moment.
He has been hoping to play for a serie a club, but as you all know, serie a clubs are quite poor. They never had the money to buy him. They were constantly sending nonsense offers.
Lukaku has been Conte's favorite player since joining Inter several seasons ago, so it is still quite natural that Conte wants to reunite with Lukaku and try to repeat their glory days when they were at Inter for Roma. Apart from that, this possibility could become a condition where in the end Lukaku becomes an option for Osimhen who is ready to leave, but price is always a problem that cannot be avoided. Currently, Chelsea don't want to suffer too big a loss because selling Lukaku for just 30 million is already a loss for them so they don't want to lose too much but Napoli's offer also sounds realistic because after all, Lukaku's age and performance decline is quite drastic. indeed spending more than 30 million is a condition that is quite difficult so they will try to bargain at the price they can, especially since the financial conditions in Serie A are quite unequal compared to the EPL. But for an offer like this it will clearly be a difficult condition because Chelsea will definitely not make too significant a reduction for Lukaku because after all Lukaku has been bought twice at high prices and Chelsea always suffers losses from what they do to Lukaku so for now maybe such offers will be ignored. Lukaku and conte has a different relationship in terms of manager and player they both love to play for each other so whenever conte moves its for sure thing that Lukaku move is on its way their bonding their understanding is simply amazing. |

Afghanistan vs New Zealand
Afghanistan has played their turn and they made 159 runs. Means now New Zealand has to make 160 runs to win. By the way which I am looking New Zealand is not looking strong as this time. They have lost 3 wickets and they made only 33 runs in 6 overs. I am typing my reply and they have lost one more wicket means New Zealand is looking little weak at this time. They need 126 runs on 82 balls. Means this is not difficult if they will play fast. But if they will play fast so they will lose wickets and they have only 6 wickets left. In conclusion Afghanistan is looking strong at this time I think they will win the match. A massive victory from Afghanistan they completely shatter the Kiwis in all three formats. What a class batting bowling and fielding efforts by Afghan players they are up to mark and the Kiwis are not anywhere in this match from the 1st ball Gurbaz faced. Stunning performance by Afghan Players. |

In today's 11th match of United States vs Pakistan team, Pakistan team is now out to bat. They have lost 6 wickets in 16 overs and have scored 126 runs. Pakistan team still has wickets and 4 overs. Now it is to be seen how many runs Pakistan team can score in these 4 overs. Mohammad Rizwan did not do well in batting today and was dismissed for 9 runs from 8 balls. Babar Azam was dismissed for 44 runs from 43 balls. Fakhar Zaman and Kharab performed poorly in batting.
This was a completely unexpected result. It was unthinkable that a team as renown as Pakistan would lose against the USA. I bet Pakistan to win. But Pakistan lost the match. Pakistani bowlers are in a very bad shape right now. Pakistani bowlers cannot perform well even on bowling friendly pitches. Pakistani bowlers are very experienced, still they cannot perform well against USA batsmen. Pakistan team will definitely lose against India. As Pakistan is in bad form, it will be difficult for Pakistan to win against Ireland and Canada. Qualifying for the next round is uncertain for Pakistan. Mark my word Pakistan will not even make it to the Super 8 they lost their upcoming 2 matches 1 from India and 1 from Ireland. The team Pakistan is not capable of entering in super 8 and competing with the top 8 teams of the t20 World Cup. |

Bloody hell! Mighty impressed with the USA's batters. They did look lost at the death but they spanked Haris Rauf nicely in the last over. And we have another Super Over. Win or lose, the USA should be very proud of this performance because Pakistani bowling lineup is no mug. -------------------- Edit LMAO some village cricket is going on  USA done a incredible job and beat Pakistan in a super over. There overall performance is up to mark and Pakistan is no way near to this team. USA is good in all there departments Bowling Batting and most importantly Fielding. Poor very poor performance by Pakistan team they let themselves down they also let there fans down. This is not what Pakistan fans are expecting from our team. USA deserve this win. Pakistan need a lot of thinking on there Team selection Fielding batting and Bowling too. This is a stage where everyone works hard but only team Pakistan is going down and down in t20 ranking just because of favoritism in team. |

I feel KDB should go over to the Saudi league and ply his trade there because if you look at it, the Belgian has won all there is to win at Man City and even in his country. Yesterday's game against Montenegro made it his 100 cap for the country and at his age, if he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity, who knows if he won't get plagued by injury that may see him out of football that when he comes back, he won't be as deadly.
We've seen big names that moved to the Saudi pro league and are doing well and if it's Al Nassr that will be seeking his services, I think it will be needed and much welcomed because although there's Sadio mane and Ronaldo as the bigger names, the club haven't been able to lift any major trophy and I feel if the Belgian accepts to go there, he coupled with the others can make a difference there.
I know everyone loves a good transfer rumor, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Things are going well for KDB. He's a fighter. He's not even in his mid-30s yet, but look at the guys still doing great in Europe: Modric and Kroos are almost retirement age in football, but they're still winning titles. City wont let KDB leave easily because he has a deal with them and is their top player. Even though he's been hurt a few times, he's still scoring goals and setting up others like it's nothing. What about the Saudi league? Its not even close to being as good as the Premier League. KDB wants to be known as a legend, and you dont become a legend by playing in a bad league. Kevin De Bruyne has always had a place of honor at Manchester City, he will not leave as long as he is still fit to play. There is a lot of speculation about De Bruyne's future as he will leave for the Saudi League but it looks like he will finish his contract in Manchester. City also don't want to be careless in making decisions, Gundogan's departure last season had a big impact on the team, especially if they lose the Belgian man again, City will lose its identity. Guardiola will let KDB go if he can find the right replacement. KDB is not going anywhere is a main performer of the Man City team and City will not lose this player now The management is not in the mood to sell this player and not even in their plans according to SKY Sports |

In my opinion, it is still too early to speculate who will win the UEFA Champions League for the 2024/25 season because the player transfer saga has just started and the composition of players between clubs competing in the UEFA Champions League next season can still change.
Yeah, maybe it's too early to speculate who will win the UEFA Champions League of 2024/25, but we can predict which team that has been really prepared for the next season. Real Madrid and Dortmund can be listed for the winner next season, i conclude this because both team already got many profits from their achievement, moreover from sponsorship. Based on these gains, their manager could give their ability to win the transfer saga, and got their dream team for the next season. Defiantly its way too early to tell who is going to win the UEFA Champions League but the top favorites are Real Madrid Arsenal Liverpool. Everyone is now working on Buying and selling players and teams are completely in rest mode. |

 The 24/25 Champions League season hasn't started yet but the live odds for favorites to win have appeared and as you can see, Manchester City is still at the top. It seems that Mbappe's arrival at Real Madrid did not have a big impact from the bookies' point of view and maybe they still believe that with Manchester City's beautiful game, the defending champions will not be able to win this title again. I don't know for sure, but what is clear to most of us is that Mbappe's arrival will make Real Madrid even more difficult to stop and they could retain the title and make it back to back titles. It would be very unfair if we saw Real Madrid dominate the Champions League for seasons and it would make it even more difficult for other teams to win the title from them. Anyway, Arsenal remains the number 3 favorite on this list. It is too early to say that but my vote goes to LFC that they should win UCL 24/25. Mbappe's arrival is good for Real Madrid but its performance tell us that is this signing worth it or not so let's wait and watch until the new season starts. |
