Even if he scores a single goal, Haaland is an incredible player and has scored 15 goals in 9 games. He is a truly outstanding player. If he continues like this, he will remain as one of the best strikers in the world in football history in the future. With Cristiano Ronaldo, I would love to see him as two strikers. They were a lethal force at their best. Haaland is the most outstanding player in the Premier League this season, 15 goals in 9 games making him the most prolific debutant in the EPL. Haaland goal tally is far above Harry Kane, who is second in the top scorer list with 8 goals. Manchester City were very lucky to get the services of Haaland in the transfer market last summer, he has been the most prolific player in the Manchester City squad. If Manchester City and Haaland are able to maintain their form this season, they can defend the EPL title and the chances of winning the UCL are huge. Erling Haaland has scored 15 Premier League goals. Those records are meant to be broken in the EPL by this guy. City is an mighty team, and Haaland is a natural scorer because he is so familiar with his position, and his scoring ability has exploded since he joins the world's best team. He is enjoying himself, just like the Man City team is having a great time. There are still a lot of big moments to come. As well as defending the EPL title, they also have a great chance of winning the UCL. |

Pakistan have won the match by 6 wickets and 10 balls left. In recent T20 matches played by Pakistan, Babar Azam or Mohammad Rizwan used to take responsibility and do the best. Today it was Babar Azam who leads the team towards victory with his scoring of 79 runs out of 53 balls. New Zealand wasn't that good in batting as well as bowling. At the beginning New Zealand made a maiden over and later nothing helped them as strong partnership got developed.
It is really interesting that Pakistan wins the match on the day when Babar Azam or Mohammad Rizwan performs well. The last match between Pakistan and New Zealand was exactly like that, Babar Azam scored 79 runs in 53 balls which resulted in Pakistan winning the match easily. However, the rest of the players in the Pakistan team will undoubtedly perform better. A win against Pakistan was not possible with a target of just 148 runs. The performance of the New Zealand batsmen was poor. At least 170 runs were required to win. But the New Zealand players collected very slow runs from the beginning of the innings. Also Babar Azam batted very responsibly. Babar Azam's partnership of 79 runs off 53 balls made Pakistan win easily. If Pakistan wins, either Babar or Rizwan will always in front. As Pakistan beat New Zealand comfortably, Babar Azam bats through the chase. Congratulations to Pakistan on their victory over New Zealand. It was a well-played match by Pakistan under the leadership of captain Babar Azam, good luck in their upcoming matches. Now that the world cup is just around the corner, the Pakistani team is back on track. |

I think finding a new club shouldn't be a problem, which club in the world wouldn't want to have a player like Ronaldo in their team, Ronaldo was in top form before he came to Manchester United, Ten Hag and the United squad made Ronaldo look bad. I believe he will do well in a better team, the only hindering factor should be his wage and I believe that will be why many clubs are staying away from the deal. This is a good time to take that big money deal to the Arab league, what else is there to play for, he already has every thing he want, trophies and even legacy so he should just play for the money now.
Well, let's assume what you say is true, regarding Ronaldo's performance before coming to Old Trafford. however, we must remember that the age factor cannot be denied by any great player. 37 is not a young age, although he still has excellent stamina and a strong physique, it is clear that his sharpness is decreasing as he gets older. the few times he missed a chance to score in the game versus Omonia, what we expected, didn't make it anything special in that game. I'm not sure it's just a matter of salary, there are a lot of things that big clubs take into consideration, one of which is the age factor, the productivity has decreased a lot due to age. I think this is the reason why many big clubs are not interested in signing Ronaldo. The world's best player is Cristiano Ronaldo. In the history of sport, we are witnessing one of the greatest falls from graces. Several of his records are unlikely to be broken for 100 years or more. His high standards just make him a victim. I think that's it. Despite the facts that Cristiano Ronaldo may leave Manchester United in January, United is confident that he will remain with the club. He will try to leave if he finds a team, however. His productivity this season makes other teams hesitant to sign him. |

Pakistan vs India Women Asia Cup 2022
Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first. Not a good day for Pakistan as already 3 wickets down 47 runs( 8.3 overs)
Indian Players are giving hard time to Pakistani batters. Sidra Ameen failed to perform today ,Pakistan will not be able to give big target today (predicted scores 120 maximum).
Finally this has turned to be the day of Pakistan. India Women wasn't able to reach the target of 137 runs. This is a big turnaround in the Asia Cup, India lost all its wickets for 124 runs. The scoring between the two teams haven't got much difference. There is no big number for India as 56 runs from Nida Dar of Pakistan. In Pakistan's historic victory against India, Nida Dar has named Player of the Match. I would have to say that Pakistan's bowlers dominated Indian batters and won this match. It was a superb inning from Richa Ghsh for his team, but today Pakistan women played brilliantly as well. Congratulations to Pakistan's ladies. |

Rashford and Martial has became an super subs tonight that they can solved the deadlock of Manchester United forward line with scoring goals and help Manchester United to win the match but unfortunately Ronaldo cannot playing well as people expected although he has made 1 assist tonight but besides that i had noticed Manchester United defense in that match is very poor because the coordination between defenders players were quite bad and 2 goals from Omonia players is pure from their mistakes that this shouldn't be happened again in the second leg
I don't think Omnia's defence is very high. However, the entire first half of Manchester United's performance was very disappointing. At the end of the first half, Manchester United was behind 1-0. Ronaldo was not very effective in the first half, although he was able to make several attacks. If Rashford and Martial had not played well in the second half, United would not have scored 3 points in this match. However, through this match, it is well understood that the Manchester United team is still struggling to achieve stability. Ten Hag has yet to develop a stable match strategy. In their match against Omonia, Manchester United had to suffer to win. In the second half, Rashford and Martial played well, scoring as well. Without Ronaldo's presence, United would have scored more if they hadn't focused on him. It was Cristiano Ronaldo who failed to score despite doing everything he could. There is no sign of fitness, he seems detached, absentminded, and disinterested. Coaches from Manchester United and Portugal are under pressure to play him, but neither team would benefit from his presence. |

Messi's fitness is still very good. He will not decide to retire so soon. He will be associated with football for another 3-4 years. And the most important thing is that he will not decide to retire from the PSG club. There is a possibility that he will come back to Barcelona. And from Barcelona, he will announce his retirement. Or he will announce his retirement from a club in Argentina, where his career began. I think we will see Messi in Barcelona jersey again. Even if it is for a very short time.
I doubt if Messi would be able to play competitive football for another 2 years. Players' performance tends to decrease faster when they are getting old. No doubt he is strong and fit but he might retire in the next one or two years. Messi is now about 36 years old. He still manages to perform consistently well as a young player. As players age they cannot maintain fitness. But Messi's fitness is still excellent. And he's not dealing with as many injuries. I would say Messi will be able to serve his team well for several more years if he does not face any fitness issues. Messi still needs to be aware of his fitness. And the idea is that Messi will be able to easily maintain his good performance for at least 2 years. He can maintain his fitness till at least 38 years. His fitness is outstanding compared to other players. Despite other players being rejected at such an early age, Messi won the Copa América and the Finalissima at 34! His ability is one of the reasons he's playing for PSG with Neymar and Mbappe, but he's the best among them. He has at least two more years to serve his national team and club. Retiring at the top of your game and when the crowd is roaring is better than waiting until you are rejected by everyone. |

Pakistan V Bangladesh
Bangladesh lost against Pakistan by 21 runs. We know the Bangladesh team is weak in the T20 format. But I wouldn't say that their performance was bad. Pakistan set a target of 168 runs. Apart from Mustafiz and Hasan Mahmud, the performance of Bangladesh's bowlers was quite good. Taskin managed to pick up two wickets for just 25 runs.
As usual, the performance of the batsmen of the Bangladesh team was very poor. Apart from Yasir Ali and Liton Das, I don't think any batsman's performance is good. If the performance of the batsmen does not improve and consistency does not come, then Bangladesh will not be able to win a single match in the next World Cup.
Bangladesh loses by 21 runs to Pakistan in Christchurch. While Bangladesh bowlers do well, their batting order is a significant concern, and it will cost them in the upcoming T20 World Cup. It was a very good win for Pakistan thanks to the bowlers who bowled well. It will also prove useful during the World Cup. It was another excellent performance by Muhammad Rizwan as he maintained his excellent performances in the tri-series as well. |

What's happening with Indian fielding nowadays? Quite surprising tbh as fielding was one of the departments they've improved a lot in recent times but out of nowhere they are looking like headless chickens on the field, dropping, missing catch opportunities regularly and even misfielding are very common.
Although Indian players have improved in the batting sector, they are now very weak in fielding and bowling. A few days ago, Indian players used to do amazing fielding. I'd say now they've gotten a bit lazy so that's what's happening. Players should be more professional and responsible. South Africa set a target of 250 runs in 40 overs. Quite a good collection. India must collect more than 6 per over if they want to win. Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill returned to the fold with 4 and 3 runs respectively. At the end of 12 overs, India collected only 30 runs. I don't think winning this match is possible if you bat like this. David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen have worked together to take SA from 110-4 to 249-4. The target South Africa set was good. Does the quality of Indian teams decline with time? There was a clear quality difference in both bowling attacks, with SA faring better. As a result of poor fielding and poor bowling, India failed to produce quality batting. There are four wickets down for India as South African bowlers are on a roll. The ball has been handled superbly by South Africa so far! |

PSG were really surprising last night. They couldn't defeat Benfica despite dominating especially the second half. Benfica had better be happy still for getting a point from them. Because they weren't able to show an impressive performance in this game. PSG did their best but it wasn't enough for a win. Messi's goal was really superb by the way. He was scoring this kind of spectacular goals regularly at Barcelona. It's nice to see the same Messi here also.
I don't think that this point loss would affect PSG in the group much. I think that they will defeat Benfica next time and consolidate their lead even more. The team that might be able stop in the group seems like Juventus only. Because that game is in Turin and Juventus might continue to improve their performance until then.
That was a brilliant goal. His move starts and ends at midfield, he drags the ball to the box of the opposition, he smiles at the ground. However, Benfica still managed to draw. It was a poor defensive performance by PSG against Benfica. They may lose the CL due to small mistakes. Against an above average team, they could not score another goal in the second half. It ended 1-1 for the magical trio, but wait until they face real football teams. In terms of quality, PSG doesn't stand out, they are flashy and expensive, but we know how it goes when it matters. |

El classico can be considered as the most important match to know which one will become the best in la liga. I meant the winner will create a gap to the loser. that means if real can win against barcelona and the chance to create gap will be so huge yet the result will become unpredictable for sure. Both are very competitive team for this season. A very hard thing to predict for now.,
They have the same winning record until this week, only different from goal productivity. So I agree if the el clasico match will be an indication of who has the bigger chance. I can hardly say who is the best of them now, Barcelona are playing well, at the same time Real Madrid are playing well too. Unlike last season because their differences were very clear when Barcelona was still with Koeman. Last season it was so easy for me to say who was the best. There are 11 days until El Clasico, but Barcelona's injury room is quite frightening right now. Barcelona is having a difficult time in their Champions League game. I won't allow them to be complete favorites after analyzing their performance in the Champions League and the injuries suffered by the Barca squad. It's too much. They have a physical trainer who is doing something wrong. I just believe that all these players aren't even in their first eleven, so I don't think they'll be able to use this excuse if they lose to Real Madrid. |

Literally, Erling Harland Is an Angel to Manchester City since his arrival, He has been giving his best.
Guardiola actually have tried his best in terms of trying to win the Champions League Trophy for City, but seem luck is not by his side. With the signing of Haland this and his goal scoring ability could change things for them, coupled with other quality players already there in City , like Foden , De Bruyne and just to mention a few, This seasons Champions League Trophy could be theirs if they keep the pace.
That guy is more than what you think I refer him as a mini god, he is another Zlatan Ibrahimovic at man City He is a very complete player and also a lucky one for having such players around him Anyone will praise Haaland's performances since joining Manchester City, Haaland's sharpness is unquestionable, he has scored a hat-trick three times in the Premier League. Three goals scored against Manchester United made Haaland the club's top scorer and also the Premier League, so far Haaland has scored 17 goals in just 11 appearances in all competitions. Haaland has incredible goal-scoring instincts, his qualities as a centre-forward have made it easier for Manchester City to win. Haaland has been a prince in the Manchester City squad, he achieved it in a very short time, it is very difficult for any other player to achieve what Haaland has achieved during his time at Manchester City. In April, Haaland made the decision to join Man City, and he says he is very happy with the choice he made. Now that Haaland has joined Man City, he is unstoppable. There is no doubt that Haaland is a good player, but the Man City team is carrying him along. Nevertheless, Haaland deserves credit for receiving those passes in the right timing and position, and converting them. It's amazing how well they work together. It's amazing how dominant they are. Throughout the game, they played well. Now we're going to see more goals. Taking football to a new level is what he does. I agree that Mbappe and any other young player will be overshadowed by this guy, he is the beast of the game at the moment. |

Juventus' dominance is over. Napoli seems to be a strong candidate. after seeing how the performances of Milan and Inter who competed last season were not so good this season.
if Napoli can play more consistently and try to leave rivals Atalanta and Udinese, Napoli will stay until the end of the season.
What I admire most about Napoli at the moment is their increased goal productivity compared to last season.
Let's start referring to them as contenders. Napoli will be contenders for the title if they continue to play like they are. It's great to see the Napoli team succeeding. Serie A and the Champions League have seen Napoli score the most points, goals, and shots. I saw the highlights of their matches against Liverpool and Ajax and they are completely ruthless. Their recent play against Liverpool and continued dominance at both UCL and Serie A shows they have been playing amazing football for years. Playing their way will allow them to shine more. |

The Clube Brugge team is my fantasy team! Bruges fans are loving the Champions League right now, following three straight victories. A 9-point margin separates them from two former European Champions in their group.
Liverpool FC defeated Rangers comfortably. A stunning free-kick was scored by Trent Alexander-Arnold, while a penalty kick was scored by Salah. Furthermore, Rangers are not Champions League material, but Liverpool are. There must be something wrong somewhere if they can't beat Rangers.

To win, Team India must score 228 runs. South Africa reached this huge total thanks to a Rossouw century and Miller's last over cameo. Miller's arrival could have produced a total of 250 or more if he had come 2 overs earlier. His touch is murderous. India's ordinary bowling and sloppy fielding aren't helping the team. This small ground makes it difficult to judge their bowling performance. A batting lineup like India's is capable of chasing any total. However, both Rohit Sharma and Iyer fail to make any role.

Surprise, even Union Berlin lost to Eintracht Frankfrut. They lost 2-0. I think Berlin were able to win because before they won over Munich and Munich won 6-1 on the sixth of August. Losing Union Berlin points certainly cuts a considerable points gap. Currently Union Berlin has the same points as Freiburg and a 2-point gap with Bayern Munich. The record of not losing is finally broken, and this is what makes me disagree that there is a friend in this thread who talks that Bayern Munich's chances of winning the season are difficult.
I think, Bayern Munich are still in a good position to embrace this season title because their coach is seriously working to ensure the team will not experience any defeat from any team to improve their points. Since Bayern Munich strikers and midfielders are very ready to work together to keep the winning going, showed that they will definitely achieve victory from their remaining matches to prepare the minds of their fans that they have what it takes to win this title. I think, union Berlin coach need to work on their defense before their next match because they didn't act well in this match that made Frankfurt to defeated them 2-0. The end justifies the means when it comes to Bayern Munich, the best in Bundesliga. Because Bayern Munich knows that they are still winning the league, they are in a better position. It won't take them long to put them back on top where they belong. Soon, they will take back their rightful place at the top. While Union Berlin has a good position for now, there is still a lot of work to do to save it. |

Manchester City would love to continue with a rare striker like Erling Haaland for so many years. However it seems really difficult considering his father's statement about him. Haaland might also be willing to play for some other big teams in his career also. But before leaving it seems like we can see him breaking the goal record in one season in the Premier League. He might be the biggest help for Manchester City to win the Champions League title also.
As long as Manchester City reach their Champions League goal they wouldn't mind him leaving after 2-3 years. Otherwise they wouldn't be very willing to do this I believe.
There are some hints Erling Haaland's dad gives, which spread rumors. In the words of his father, Erling wants to prove his capabilities in every league. Does he intend to prepare our minds to accept Erling's departure anytime soon? Anyway, he'll thrive regardless. Every league would look like "Farmers League" with his physique and panache. As well as having wealthy owners, Haaland is also a very valuable asset. It won't be that easy to leave City. He and his salary can't be afforded by most teams, but City can double it and keep him for longer. It doesn't matter what league he plays as long as he wins Champions League titles at City. |

Maddison is the man of the match with two incredible goals and assists. His performance weigh down their opponents in the king power stadium, and the fans are cheering for their first win of the season, not an easy one for the Foxes boss, Brendan Rodgers glad that his team are gradually getting back to their form after a long waited winning points. For the victims, Nottingham Forest looks to be heading back the championship and Jesse Lingard failed to make a good impact in the game after Nottingham failed to net a single goal with throwing away several scoring chances.
The performance of Maddison against Nottingham Forest was exceptional. Since day one, Maddison has always had Daka's back. His most important assists have all gone to Daka. Nottingham was the victim of Leicester's frustration throughout the season. You get that result when you replace an entire team that worked hard to get promoted. There's no hope for Nottingham Forest, they're on their way down. If Nottingham Forest dumps the players, what will it gain? The old squad is no longer with them. There is a difficulty in adapting and blending the new players. Their mistakes were caused by their lack of appreciation for the old squad and their belittling of it. |

At least the derby of Manchester was very entertaining to watch. I thought that Manchester United is in a good condition after defeating Liverpool and Arsenal several weeks ago, but it seems that United is no match for Manchester City. Scoring 4 goals in the first half was impressive. No team is going to challenge Manchester City for the first place in the 2022/2023 season of the Premier League. The owners of United wasted more than 100 million pounds for Casemiro and Antoni, but the team is still having difficulties in the middle. Antoni Martial scored two goals at the end to make the loss less humiliating.  Anyone will be surprised by the final result of the Manchester Derby, the rain of goals occurred in this prestigious match, Manchester City also deserved to get 3 points after beating Man United with a landslide score of 6-3. I started to think after seeing the final result of this match, whether Manchester City are too strong for Man United or the Man United players who played badly in this match. The maximum results achieved by Man United in the last few matches including when they beat Arsenal at Old Trafford could not be maintained when they faced Man City. Ten Hag must learn a lot from the defeat they have just received, when facing a big team they must be able to play discipline and build good connections between players. As a result of lack of discipline in defense, Man United had to concede 6 goals. I think we all knew that Manchester United is not going to be able to win against Manchester City. But I did not think the result was going to be like this. This type of match makes me wonder where the defense was in this match of both teams!!! Hat-Tricks from both Phil Foden and Haaland  . Call me crazy but I really thought Cristiano Ronaldo should have been given a chance in this match. Anthony Martial was substituted in and he scored two goals. I really hoped to see Cristiano Ronaldo play the whole 90 minutes in this match. Probably then they had a little chance. But it is also true that the defense was terrible from Manchester United as well. It was a nine goal thriller between Phil Foden and Haaland against rivals Manchester United. The talent of Foden is undeniable. Having all the defenses focused on Haaland benefited him, and he seems to have the right mindset to play support to him. It will be a team effort to clean up. However, what is wrong with Manchester United's defense? Their strategy doesn't seem to be clear, and they don't even know who to target. It took Anthony Martial less than 10 minutes to score two goals after getting a chance. In the match against Man City, the outcome might have been different had Anthony Martial and Ronaldo played the full 90 minutes together. As a result of Ronaldo's beaching throughout the entire 90 minutes, Man United should be ashamed of themselves. |

South Africa fought hard for the target of 238 runs given by India and lost the match by 16 runs. David Miller's willow for South Africa was excellent. Miller's willow came from 106* runs from 47 balls at a strike rate of 225.53. The achievement is possible due to the fighting spirit. As seen in the Indian batsmen. The match ended with a bone-to-neck fight and the match was enjoyable
I thought South Africa gonna won that match but at the end India successfully put them under pressure and that helped India to win. But both team bowlers can't do well on that match but the performance of the Batmens was commendable. Specifically David Miller, Quinton De kock from South Africa and Suriya kumar Yadav , Rahul , Virat kohli did good in that match . In this game, I thought that South Africa will win the match at first. But then India took possession of the match. However, India did not bowl well. After that, South Africa put the batting under a lot of pressure. But I think the game was very well played. And did South Africa play a bit of a poor game in this match. The Indian bowlers bowled very well at the beginning of South Africa's innings. South Africa was able to collect only 29 runs after losing 2 wickets in the first 5 overs. Till 10 overs we have seen enough good bowling from the Indian bowlers. But after de Kock and Miller came to the crease, the Indian bowlers could not perform well due to their aggressive batting. South Africa collected 151 runs in the last 10 overs. They collected an average of 15 runs per over. We have not been getting good performances from Indian bowlers for a long time. Quinton de Kock and Miller thoroughly exposed the limitations of the bowling attack just as the batting appears to be peaking. There is a feeling among me that the Indian team is going back to the old days where their batting used to win the majority of the matches. There was no difference between their bowling and the average level. Nowadays, batsmen cannot score 200 plus in every match, so you need some kind of bowling attack. In the bowling department, they need more variety. There is always a focus on batsmen, there is always an emphasis on batsmen. It is for this reason that everyone in India wishes to become a batsman instead of a bowler. |

Snip..
I guess everyone was surprised but understandable too. because considering that Benzema is not young anymore and a decrease in sharpness in the game can occur. but the problem is that the missed penalty kick by Karim Benzema against Osasuna is not the first time or this is not the first time. but it happened in the previous match against osasuna in april. it's a bit of a funny coincidence I guess. there are even news media that mentions such a curse. but yeah that's just a coincidence. but apart from that, Benzema is still a very good player. and I really admire it. This is what it says anything can happen in football. The series of consecutive wins that Madrid got and the added value of playing at the Bernabeu made it very easy for Real Madrid to get a win from Osasuna. But the reality that happened after 90 minutes of the match was very far from what was predicted, Osasuna actually made it difficult for Real Madrid to find the winning goal so that a draw was inevitable. The addition of one point makes Real Madrid collect 19 points, this number is the same as that collected by Barcelona, Real Madrid had to settle for sitting in second place because they lost in goal productivity. In a 1-1 draw against Osasuna, Real Madrid ended its perfect start to the season. Real Madrid deserved a point and they got one with such an outstanding performance. Osasuna has been strong this season, however. It was a great performance, even though it ended in a draw. There are times when a star player disappoints. Madrid have been winning since Benzema returned from injury and missed a penalty. A top position should be enjoyed by Barcelona. With Matchday approaching, it's Barcelona's turn to lead the table. |
