On the contrary, it seems to me that Manchester City are not a championship contender this year. At least no more than Bayern, PSG or Real Madrid. Moreover, if you look at the statistics, Real Madrid have won the Champions League many times in a row, so I definitely see them in the final this season. I don't know if Manchester City will make it to the final, but Real Madrid I do.

Arshdeep singh done amazing job at the top order and give good advantage to his team with taking early wickets of top order which is surely going to be great for this youngster who was criticized for drop catch and having not good confidence after this incident but now look like things are going to be his favor because this is surely good comeback and having good performance against team like South Africa.
Just because of this spell South African shattered badly and fail to do something good in later Keshav Maharaj is hero for them as he has done 41 and Parnell 24 which give a chance to them for having figure of 106 on board against quality batting of India with this match look like we are going to have one-sided affair in this series because confidence is badly down, and they are looking out of the touch which is surely not good sign before big event.

Chelsea don't have much time in the next two games against Milan, they will have to play much better and get much better results if they want to win the top two places in the group.
If they fail to beat Milan, then they will significantly reduce their chances of going to the knockout phase of the Champions League.
Chelsea now has a new coach who doesn't have much time for some changes in the team, he has to immediately raise the level of the game and start winning otherwise he won't stay as a coach for long.

Yes Manchester city might win only if they don't play Real Madrid in the finals. I pray that luck should be on their side if they qualify to the finals because after all the winning in their matches to the final,they don't always win. PSG is also a club am looking up to in playing the finals but if PSG and Man city plays finals,I guess Man city might win.

Because of Indian brilliant bowling display, South Africa set an unwanted record. With the loss of 5 wickets in all formats of T20 cricket, South Africa became the fastest team to lose 5 wickets. As of now, the visitors are down 7 wickets as Indian bowlers have shown no mercy. At the current rate, South Africa will have a difficult time passing 100 runs.

From 2024 onwards, we will be having 20 teams participating in the T20 world cup. The number of teams is not a concern for me. I have issues with two other factors - qualification process and eligibility criteria. Qualification is still skewed towards the full members and most of them automatically qualify for the world cup. And eligibility criteria in cricket is a joke and teams with native players such as Nepal and PNG no longer manage to qualify for the ICC tournaments. Their place is taken up by teams with 100% foreigner composition such as Oman and UAE.

Bitcoin is not designed to be stable like the other centralized stable altcoins, Bitcoin is a volatile asset and that is how Bitcoin is designed to operate, so comparing Bitcoin to other stablecoins is a total was of time as both are designed with different network algorithms.

El Clasico duel is still long, namely in the middle of next month. So it still has more time to discuss next month. Because what Barcelona must face at the beginning of next month is Inter Milan in the Champions League group, before the El Clasico duel. I think it's quite interesting and worth the wait considering that Barcelona have shown more changes and good performances this season.

LOL.. what makes you believe that Netherlands is going to win the world cup this time? They couldn't do it when they had legends like Frank Rijkaard, Marco van Basten and Edwin van der Sar playing for them in the 1990s. In the next decade also they had key players such as Wesley Sneijder, Robin van Persie, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Arjen Robben, and again failed to win the trophy. And now you are assuming that with useless players such as Memphis Depay and Frenkie de Jong they will lift the world cup?

There a reason behind this, USA will not spend a lot of money if they will gain nothing from this.
They have been the strongest country that many countries rely to in return of something, and with this most probably Taiwan will play bigger role for USA and that’s why they will do everything to protect it. Now, with a clear statement from USA, it looks like China wont go for a war because they can’t also afford to have this, they are also struggling economically and with the possible sanctions, they might suffer more.

But if you'll look at the positive side of it, it also has an advantage because you will still be able to look after your kids at home and you have an assurance that they're safe since you can monitor them. It's really hard to manage things at home especially if you have kids but you really need to sacrifice and always look at the brighter side of working remotely. There are lots of parents who want to work at home just to be with their family but they don't have the same opportunity as you have. Sometimes appreciation over exhaustion is what we need to feel more motivated and grateful.

This match will indeed determine the fate of Arsenal as the top of the standings because what is certain is that Arsenal will really want to maintain the top position for longer. Tottenham are the team most likely to threaten Arsenal's position because in general the performance of Conte's men is also in good form. Last season's H2H was quite a draw as both teams won at home but lost away, but for this season the final result will be very difficult to predict.

IMO, Tottenham deserve to take advantage at home and they should take advantage of this to get maximum points. I don't know if Tottenham can beat Arsenal, but they don't deserve to be doubted this season either. I just hope the result of this match will be in Manchester City's favor, meaning I expect both teams to draw.

I think France has the most star players of any football team. Mbappe is one of the most in-form players in the team. Besides Griezmann, Mandy and many other players who play great football. All together will be a great team in the upcoming World Cup. However, I cannot consider France as a favorite team this time.

If I could choose and my choice could happen, then this is the position I want. Seeing the competition in the standings is fun, unlike the previous season we are shown things we have often seen and even seen. We haven't seen a standings like this in a long time, or indeed never at all. Lol
Union Berlin, Borussia Dortmund, Freiburg and Hoffenheim, there is no Bayern Munich name there.

Angel Dimaria is one very experienced and talented player I have come to love watching play for his pace, dribbling skills and outstanding creativity. He has proven his quality times without number even in his time at PSG so there is little or less to prove further, he is aging and gradually stepping into retirement but still making his marks over the time for Juventus. It really baffles me that he is still good and has something to offer at this stage of his career.

England is in satisfactory condition as current run rate.  But four wickets falling so early could spell bad luck for England.  Pakistan's Mohammad Hasnain is bowling very well with two more overs to go.  Still with 6 wickets to go but England's start was not as good as expected.  Still I think winprobability is unpredictable.

Sometimes I love to work at night as well because it's more peaceful but the only enemy we have at night is that we are feeling sleepy and it's also cold too when it's passed 1 am in the morning. Also when I sleep during the day time, I have a difficulty of doing it because it's now noisy outside and then it is also hot when it's passed 10 am in the morning.

I wake up during these times many times because I can feel the heat inside my room. This is why I revert my schedule again back to morning even if there are some noise, only because I want to sleep peacefully at night. Our brain will function properly if we have a good sleep and our eyes doesn't hurt too the next day.

On the near side of Russia, there is a war going on but not on TV news. Azerbaijan vs Armenia. Pelosi also visited Azerbaijan after a massive attack on Armenia where almost 200 people I believe were dead. The war was also about the contested border region which is Nagornokaraba.

China vs Taiwan tension I guess is dying despite US ships passing thru Taiwan straight, China didn't engage.
If war erupts, Asia will really be disturbed. China has more influence and economic disaster will affect all its surroundings.

The match is not gonna be a draw game from my point of view , one team is definitely going to win, but the question here should be whIch of them will win the match?, because both teams are very strong to win. Therefore, everything will ball down to being that the more tactical team is going to scale through and which I do hope that Spain wins in that game because of their tactics and their experiences when it comes to playing in such competition.

But I think there is definitely some part of Nagelsmann's fault in the current results. Last year, Manchester City, playing without a clearly defined center forward, won the Premier League. With the departure of Lewandowski, Bayern found themselves in a similar situation and, judging by the results, the head coach has not yet been able to adapt the team to new realities. Bayern have a great line-up, they just need to find an effective system of play.
