Barcelona have lost two of their first three matches and have fallen far behind. Barcelona now need to win every match if they want to qualify for the next round. Importantly, Barcelona will play against Bayern and Inter Milan at Camp Nou. And Barcelona is very strong in home matches. And so I think Barcelona will be able to win against Inter Milan in the next match. However, in this match Inter Milan will play completely defensively and try to draw. We may not see many goals in the match, but the match will be competitive.

PSG's match strategy was completely different in this match. PSG played a completely defensive strategy in this match and the players performed very carefully. Because their next match is against Benfica. They want to win the next match against Benfica. For this reason, PSG played very carefully against Reims, so that none of their players suffered injuries.

However, the performance of Reims in this match is very commendable. Although the Reims players failed to break down PSG's defense, they did attack a lot. If they are able to maintain this consistency in the upcoming matches, their position in the points table will change..

The two openers Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill could not stay at the crease for long, but Ishan Kishan and Iyer's outstanding performances helped India win easily. Shubman Gill missed the century for just 7 runs. The performance of Indian batsmen in recent matches has been outstanding. Even the second-row batsmen are in good form. But their bowling is still not strong enough. If India wants to become champion in the upcoming T20 World Cup, then their bowlers must play well.

You are right, we get so caught up in the news of economic crisis, war, inflation and the coming recession that we forget that we have entered a bear cycle by the end of 2021, which means before all these things. If we're still going to have a four-year revolution, things won't bounce back any time soon, with or without these crises. Having said that, the market is under pressure from a lot of factors combining so we are unlikely to see a bull run this year or 2023. Everything needs to get back to normal before we can think of the market getting better.

I agree with you, bitcoin was not the perfect choice at the time. US default would be a global crisis and a broken dollar would be the death of the world economy. Before the USD was chosen as the world currency in the 20th century, many other countries used the gold standard as their primary unit of exchange. If that happens, I think gold will be the option at that point and a new currency will come along with it. There is only one possibility of US collapse if the EU joins hands with China and Russia, but that will never happen.

England VS Australia

What brilliant batting from Alex Hales and Jos Buttler! These two openers are playing great. With their help, England collected 128 runs in 11 overs without losing any wickets. Australia's bowlers failed to pick up any wickets. If England can continue batting like this then England can collect more than 230 today. Ales Hales scored 62 off 36 balls to remain unbeaten and Buttler scored 64 off 30 balls. If England can give more than 200 targets I think England will win the match. But since the pitch is batting-friendly. Australia's batsmen will definitely want to perform well in this match. Overall the match will be competitive.

This is really unbelievable. There is no way any foreign player should even be able to play for the country when he is not a citizen. It is obviously very unfair for any team which cannot afford to bring in foreign players to play for themselves. That's why right now we are watching a huge decline in performance for the teams which are trying to make a team out of native players.


I think a big reason why foreign players are allowed to play for a certain team is because the England team has a lot of foreign players playing for themselves. If this was not possible, I certainly believe that England probably could not even win the world cup. But at least the foreign players that play for England are actually citizens of England. However, that is not the case for other associate countries.

The financial situation of Barcelona is currently in a very difficult state. They just don't want to show it anymore. They are still in debt. They still have to pay billions of dollars. And the way they managed to bring these expensive players into the squad is they had to sell TV rights and I don't think that is a smart idea.

Anyway, there is no reason for Lionel Messi to come back to Barcelona. He is getting paid really well at PSG. And obviously, he can go to MLS if he is actually thinking about retiring. Which I don't think he is considering at this moment. I know that probably now Barcelona is looking to try to bring Lionel Messi into the squad. But honestly, I think it will be better for both if they just go their own ways. For some reason, I feel like probably it might turn out to be just like what happened when Cristiano Ronaldo went back to Manchester United.

I think that these are two very different games we are talking about. The match I am talking about is a T20 match and the match you are talking about was a 50 overs match. And you know that T20 is very different from ODI. Players can play fearlessly in T20 because you get the same 10 wickets and you have to play only 20 overs. But in ODI you have to play 50 overs with the same 10 wickets. So, it is easier to score runs in T20 compared to ODI. 

Yes, a lot depends on the pitch. I also agree that the average total of women's cricket is lower compared to men's cricket. But that does not mean scoring 116  in a T20 match is going to be suddenly enough. It was a low score from Pakistan which they were not able to defend.

Arsenal is at the top of the table with 7 wins and at the same time, Liverpool is not doing so well. Liverpool only has two wins in 8 matches. That is certainly not ideal for them. Liverpool was supposed to be the team that was going to challenge Manchester City for the English Premier League title.

But right now that does not appear to be the case. And on the other hand, Arsenal is playing really well. It feels like Arsenal is actually shaping up to be the one that may actually give Manchester City a true fight for the title. But it is still too early to say anything because we know how Arsenal can suck in a short period of time. Last season, Arsenal was supposed to be in the top four, but they lost the number four spot in the last match to Tottenham.

Seems like there is a little misunderstanding. Let me clear things up for you. I said that Barcelona needed to win both La Liga and the Champions League trophy this season. But it is probably not possible for them to do so. This is actually very hard for any team, not only for Barcelona. Obviously, we know how Barcelona played in the Champions League. It really did not feel like they are putting in enough to win the champions league matches. So, I think it will be best for Barcelona to concentrate on La Liga.


Well, I am going to disagree with you on this one. It is very early into the season and that's why it is very hard to predict anything about who is going to win the La Liga title. But we all have a good idea that either Real Madrid or Barcelona is going to win the title. And I find it hard to believe that Barcelona has no chance of winning the La Liga title when they are at the top of the table and playing quite well in La Liga.

This was actually not a very good target from Pakistan. A T20 match is not something you can go to bat first and just collect 116 runs and think that you will be able to win with that. In spite of that, I still expected that Pakistan would be able to win this match, as it is Pakistan versus Thailand.

However, this was not the case at all. After a nail-biting finish, Thailand was able to come away with the victory in this match. In my opinion, this is yet another slap in the face to those people who thought that Pakistan should have a chance at a certain ICC women's cricket tournament just because they are ahead in terms of their rankings.

There is something I really don't understand about this. I get it was really hard for India to start. But the number of balls that they took to get set, the number of balls that each batsman wasted was unbelievable.

In the end, India did try to make up the run rate. However, it was too challenging for the later batsmen to handle.

Obviously, it would be a little too much to say that it was a fixed match. In spite of this, the Indian top order had a really poor performance.

But I have to give credit to South Africa. They set a target of 250 in 40 overs. Which is not bad at all. And combined with the bowling that they did at the start of the second innings to get a real grip on the match was really unbelievable. This was the first ODI and South Africa is leading 1-0.

Actually, the rule of "A player can play for a certain country if he is living in the country for more than 6 months" does not make sense at all.

This rule should be fixed or changed. Otherwise, it will have a significant negative impact in the future. That impact is going to be much uglier compared to what it is now. In turn, this is going to always have the effect of making the poor teams who are trying to come forward with native players feel as if they don't even deserve a chance to play this game at all. The rule I think should be either play with native players in the team, and by playing with native players, I mean that all the 11 players must either be native players or citizens or don't have to play at all.

I think the problem with being the main man in the team is that a lot of people depend on his performance. If anyone else makes mistakes, it might be overlooked, but the mistake of a star player is always going to be Nitpicked. It is for this reason that they have added pressure to perform well. Another thing is the fact that they have set high standards for themselves based on the plays that they have shown in the past that they are capable of, so they know that they will have to play well in the future.

In addition, there is always the question of how much time the star players are going to be given on the court in order to maximize their performance.

Because I feel like if they are not given enough time on the court they will be complaining. And if they are given too much time on the court there will also be complaints, and worse, they might get injured.

I agree that winning should be on everyone's shoulders. However, there is a problem in the fact that everyone is not capable of performing the same tasks.

I would say AC Milan lost this match because of their own failure. AC Milan's gameplay was poor from the start of the match. Since it was their away match, they probably wanted to draw the match and share the points. But their gameplay was very weak. Milan goalkeeper Tatarusanu made several good saves, otherwise, Milan would have conceded a few more goals. The dominance of the Chelsea players was quite visible throughout the match. We expected a better performance from a renowned team like AC Milan. But I was very disappointed with their performance. Despite playing defensive tactics, their performance was poor.

Compared to Celtic, the Leipzig team is quite experienced. The Celtic team is not weak. But I also think Leipzig will be able to get full points in the match. Leipzig wasn't attacking too much, but every one of their attacks was planned. They could have scored a few more goals if they had experienced finishers. But after scoring they played a bit defensively. Perhaps they are looking to end the first half 1-0. In the second half, we may see more attacking gameplay from Leipzig.

We got a chance to enjoy an exciting match. After West Indies set a target of just 146 runs, I thought Australia would win very easily, as West Indies bowling line-up is not very strong. Apart from Finch and Matthew Wade, none of Australia's batsmen played well. Australia won due to responsible batting by Finch and Wade. Australia's top-order players will have to perform better if they want to win the upcoming matches.

I am willing to say that even though Real Madrid is below Barcelona right now I believe it is going to be Real Madrid who will be able to win the La Liga title. And right now it is still too early to say that Barcelona is going to win. The only hope for Barcelona is going to be the weak defense of Real Madrid this season. If I am not mistaken, I believe Real Madrid has failed to keep even one clean sheet this season. But Barcelona does have a few.

In the end, it does feel like Barcelona is performing better than Real Madrid. But personally, I am not convinced that Barcelona is going to be able to win the la Liga title. But on the other hand, Barcelona has to win the La Liga title and also the Champions League title if possible. They just have too much at stake.

Even though Bayern Munich had some problems at the start of the season they are going to play well from now on. They are back to their winning ways. I believe that it is just a matter of time before they regain the top spot in the Bundesliga.

you can see, anyone can guess how less competitive this league is. There was a real possibility that the other teams could get ahead in terms of points and give Bayern Munich a good challenge in the coming games. The team that we are generally inclined to assume is the actual competition of Bayern Munich, and that is Dortmund, couldn't even manage to stay ahead of the competition. As I see it, it's going to be the same old story all over again. Moreover, I also agree with you that the teams which are actually ahead of Bayern Munich are not likely to be consistent enough to be able to stay ahead of them for a long period of time.
