Not at all, they only trail by a lone goal, and for a team of their standard it is more than recoverable, all they have to do is enter the game with a better tactic than they did in the first leg, they were too timid and not willing to commit men forward, it was more or less like they were just praying for a draw, but Mbappe had other ideas right at the death.
Madrid must come out and put pressure on PSG, afterall they are already behind heading into the game, so it is going to be foolish to concentrate solely on defense, i am pretty sure the two teams are going to entertain us, and since i am neutral in this one, may the better team win.
Yes, Madrid should not apply a defensive strategy in the second leg later but indeed, implementing a full attack is also a concern because we know PSG's players have good speed and finishing because of the many top players there. Even though the second leg was played at the Santiago Bernabéu but with such quality of players then of course this is a match that will still be difficult for both teams, I personally don't believe in many goals because PSG's defense could also be very strong because they will maintain the advantage 1-0 that they already have. They did that in the first leg and it was a failure. Indeed, to maximize counter-attacks, I think it's still quite good considering PSG's attack is really sporadic but on the other hand they also have to remember that they are still 1 goal behind on their Aggregate which makes them inevitably have to play more insistently in my opinion. They have to play at risk until they can atleast equalize in my opinion I think that Real Madrid is going to play really offensive in the second leg because they already have to overcome a one goal deficit. I am also not convinced that PSG is going to defend properly against them. I think it's going to be a tricky one for PSG because I guess they are not sure if they want to defend the lead that they already have or play attacking football. |

I am watching this match and after end of two days feeling very bad because I was not expecting tactics like this from PCB they have done terrible thing and prepare a slow pitch for very entertaining and most wanting series opener now most chances Australia is also going to have some good batting practice in this match because there is nothing for bowlers it's all on batsmen they have done mistake and give wicket. Lets see how Australia is going to respond and how the pitch will behave in the final two days, i am expecting the ball to be spinning and i am not aware of the spinners in the Pakistan bowling line up. How Australia will respond and how fast they can score runs will determine the fate of this match. In the other match between India and Sri Lanka, India is in a comfortable position and Sri Lanka needs a good partnership even to avoid the follow on. I don't think that the Australians are going to throw their wicket away knowing this is a really batting-friendly pitch. They are just going to bad sensibly and score huge amounts of runs just like Pakistan did. This match is surely going to be a draw because at the end of the third day Australia are still batting in their first inning self they don't seem to be in a mood of getting out. |

Already teams are disappearing from the game of cricket for instance Kenya and Zimbabwe. Afghanistan is improving its cricket day by day. ICC has finally made a wise decision by not banning them and trust me its only because of India support to new Afghanistan government. Nonetheless its good for Afghanistan and international cricket.
Surely it's a very good and important decision by ICC for they have not banned Afghanistan because if they do this then surely it's going to hurt very badly to Afghanistan and cricket world as we lost some very good and quality players from screen. Even currently it's not easy for them to survive and have some better future in game of cricket with too many concerns regarding their future but good thing they are having some positive favor from ICC and few other members. Recently, we have some good things with franchise leagues are doing better and this can improve some quality and players finances but still it needs some good and strong marketing for having more bright and good future around the glob. Afghanistan is a really good promising team and they can get a lot better if they are nurtured correctly. And if at this time they got banned by ICC it would have been disastrous for them. It's a really good thing that ICC did not ban them and let them continue in their situation. I think it's better that ICC took this decision because otherwise Afghanistan team would also have been lost like Kenya. |

^ Very good form. And I've recently been catching up with what's going on in the league and I'm surprised by how Arteta has brought life back to Arsenal. I mean yeah I've been looking at the table and see them climb up and fight for the CL spots. But never did I thought Arsenal would do well under Arteta. He was somewhat a joke when he left Pep for Arsenal. Yes, without a doubt, he's done a fantastic job for a man who was on the verge of being fired earlier in the season; everyone expected him to relegate the team following a string of dismal performances, but they're now fighting hard to return to the Champions League Anyway speaking of Pep... Big match this weekend. City vs United! I feel like it's gonna be a draw at HT with United defending well at the first half then City breaks the defense and wins the match eventually. HT/FT for City is at 3.95. Not bad imho. What do you guys think?
Not a bad prediction, but the Manchester derby is usually difficult to predict, but your HT X looks potential, since Manchester United has been keeping HT clean sheets in recent games while Manchester City has struggled to score goals. Personally, I believe the correct score will be 2-0. ( Manchester City win) Here's another betting idea. Leicester vs Leeds... With Bielsa out, new manager in Jesse Marsch in and LCFC not really in good form, do you think Leeds could win? I mean we've seen it many times before... An ailing team then with a managerial change, the squad tends to do better in their next two or three matches. Leeds' line now down to 4.00, it was 5.00 a couple of days ago. I think Leicester city should still be the winner of that match. But I also would not be surprised if Leeds can pull off a win. Or maybe a draw will also be good for them. But I think even with all these situations, Leicester City is not going to be bothered too much about a team which is not still totally clear of the danger of being relegated. |

Was so much disappointed with the way the Liverpool and inter Milan game ended ( Inter 0 - 2 Liverpool) with the scoreline you will think inter Milan did not try but they did,they were better than Liverpool almost all through the game until the the introduction of firmino and Luis Diaz, that substitution change the game and Liverpool won that match, with that scoreline I doubt if inter Milan still have hope
I think Inter will lose again in the second leg. Inter have been inconsistent in the last few games, even though they are now in third place in the Italian league standings. last they were held in a draw by their city rivals. This is in contrast to Liverpool, which they haven't lost in the last 5 matches even though they always come out as winners. this is a reference for me to see the second leg match. Liverpool is even now a serious competitor for Manchester city which has long been at the top of the English league standings. The EPL and Serie A tensions are also different and teams from the EPL always look stronger, moreover Liverpool is a big team which in recent seasons has always been part of the title race there. Now with a 2-0 lead on aggregate, of course it's a tough job for Inter. Also, I agree it is very possible Liverpool will still be serious in the second leg, of course Inter must be able to accept defeat again and with that Inter will return to focus on the race for the Serie A title. I think it's best if Inter concentrates on their own League because against Liverpool in the second leg they don't have any chance. If the score was even and they could win by only one goal difference it would have been ok but it would be really hard for them to even come back from a two-goal deficit. So I think Inter should think realistic now and leave the hope of winning the second leg against Liverpool. |

I think that's the right way to go in Rawalpindi for Pakistan. As far as I know, the pitch is going to be pace friendly. But I think Australia is going to have a slight advantage because they don't have any injury problems like Pakistan do. But I think it's certainly not going to be a whitewash. But I certainly see Australia dominating. Though it's quite hard to predict anything about Australia because they haven't played much in Pakistan in recent times at all and there is not enough data to back any prediction up.
Tomorrow we have 12th test match which is going to play in Rawalpindi and from last 11 test matches Pakistan won 5 and draw 3 with just three teams able to Pakistan here Australia, Sri Lanka and India. Fast bowlers are had very good record here so with this now I am feeling losing two main bowlers can hurt Pakistan very badly even they still have some good bowlers but Hassan Ali and Haris Rauf both were in good touch with their form and here Australia having very good advantage in presence of many options those can destroy any batting line-up without any big problem as we already watch in The Ashes but still we are going to have very exciting cricket between these two quality teams after very long time in Pakistan. Pakistan chose to bat first in the first test. So I think we will have to wait to see if they will face some difficulties in the bowling department because of the injuries. They are batting quite well till now. Pakistan are coming without there main bowlers and this thing must be in mind of Australian team. Australia are playing in Pakistan after 24 years so you are right we can't predict how Australia will perform here. Even Pakistan has not played much test at there home ground in last 12 years so they also are unpredictable here.
I certainly think that Australia is just going to play out the first session of the day and then capitalize on the disadvantage of the Pakistani bowling attack. Pakistan is batting first so I think ok we will be able to see what Australia has planned for them later. |

Yeah I was watching the markets when all of a sudden crypto and stock markets are going down rapidly. Then I checked the news and they said they blew up a nuclear reactor. However as time went on there was more and more reports coming in that the news is false.
Can you provide that link here? I have not found any reports that are news false. It would be terrible if the Zaporizhzhya nuclear plant exploded. There is a report after the second negotiation, the two countries have agreed to establish a humanitarian corridor and the possibility of a ceasefire. These are significant steps forward, hopefully they will soon reach an agreement and end the war. |

Do you want to invest long term or short term?. Bitcoin depends on a lot of factors, not only the Russia and Ukraine wars. If you want short term profit, I think you should not invest now because bitcoin will fluctuate until this war is over. And if you're looking for a long-term return that can be measured in years, then invest whenever you want. BTC is a great future, an investment that generates good returns. Take a look at the history of bitcoin and you will see its value increase year by year.

Hey guys theres a news article stating that ebay might be accepting Bitcoin and other cryptos, if this happens then I believe itll be a game changer for the crypto world. Not sure how credible the article is , has anyone else heard anything similar. Also there was mention of an announcement on march 10 to confirm this. If positive, We could see a new high even in these times uncertainty .
I also read it somewhere in the local newspaper, eBay will accept payments in bitcoin. They say they have been looking for ways to integrate crypto payments for years and now they have almost the end result. Please wait for the official announcement on March 10 from them. The purpose of integrating bitcoin is that they want to attract young users to their platform. If it comes to fruition, this will be good news for the bitcoin community and eBay users. |

They are currently rank no 1 test team so it obvious that they won't say, yeah we might lose the series or we have virtually no chance of winning. Every player or coaching staff from any country would say the same thing (including things like yeah "it would be tough tour") if reporter asking them such ques during interviews or any press conference.
I would say Australia defiantly have more chances of winning the series but not whitewashing like they did with England in there home ground. Pakistan key set back in non availability of Faheem Ashraf and Hasan Ali, this may have impact on test series result. For first test Pakistan is planning for 5 men attack, 3 fast and 2 spinners. Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem and Wasim Jr as fast bowlers while Nauman Ali and Sajid Khan as the spinners. I think that's the right way to go in Rawalpindi for Pakistan. As far as I know, the pitch is going to be pace friendly. But I think Australia is going to have a slight advantage because they don't have any injury problems like Pakistan do. But I think it's certainly not going to be a whitewash. But I certainly see Australia dominating. Though it's quite hard to predict anything about Australia because they haven't played much in Pakistan in recent times at all and there is not enough data to back any prediction up. |

Last time Australia played in Pakistan they won the 3 test series 1-0. Though Pakistan has performed good against there home series against Australia in UAE we can't say how they will perform in this test series. Australia are too good at there home ground, not much data is available about Aus performance in Pakistan as they haven't played here for last 24 years. India not touring Pakistan is only because of political reasons not on security grounds. I think Pakistan is going to do quite well in this series against Australia in Pakistan. But I also want the matches to be competitive and not one-sided. Probably then this series is going to live up to the expectation of all the people. Pakistan is going to have advantages in home conditions. I expect Australia to give them a good fight in this series. And India is not going to tour Pakistan because of not only the political situation but also the incidents that might occur, from both countries. Pakistan certainly needs to find a substitute for him as soon as possible. Probably we might see some reserve players in action. Mohammad Abbas could be a valid option.
News not good for Pakistan from fast bowling perspective. Hasan Ali and Faheem Ashraf are already not available due to injuries in PSL. Now Naseem Shah (a travelling reserve) is replacing Haris Rauf. Pakistan will mostly rely on Shaheen Afridi in fast bowling department. These injuries will further lessen Pakistan chances in Test. This will be a really big problem for Pakistan because as far as I know, the pitch is going to be fast bowling friendly. And with all these important players being injured Pakistan is going to have fewer chances of winning in the test match in your opinion. Shaheen Afridi is going to be the only reliable fast bowler in Pakistan. So, now I think they will have to depend on their spin bowlers also. |

With the influence of politics and war, the market has been affected a lot. Last week bitcoin price dropped to 34k$, then rise again and is now at 44k$, if everything goes smoothly and in the right direction, hitting the $50k mark shouldn't be too difficult. But who knows tomorrow.? Crypto is being seen as Russia's savior to get around sanction, The US and Europe are considering enacting a crypto ban to thwart Russia's intentions. This is what I fear will happen.

1k$ target for BNB I don't think it's too difficult, it's just a matter of time. Backed by the world's largest exchange, the BNB chain ecosystem is always refreshed and added with many useful features for users. Then blockchain platform BNB has a deflationary burn strategy to ensure a finite supply. A decrease in supply will increase demand for BNB.
Still difficult with BNB price right now only stuck on $400 because need more than $600 price up reach to $1,000 for BNB coin price, I think if BNB keep standing without any trouble when bitcoin dump have good chance back above $1,000 but always price dump drastically when bitcoin price just dump only 5%, if bitcoin price drop above 10% I think no way for BNB keep on top price and most drastically drop almost 30% from last months where BNB dump almost on $300. I agree. All altcoins still depend on bitcoin, if bitcoin falls then most altcoins will fall, even slump. But what if we continue to enter the bull season. The BNB ecosystem has been in operation since September 2020 but has strongly surpassed its elder to become the 2nd largest ecosystem after ETH. With the dominance of Binance, I believe the BNB ecosystem will explode even more in 2022. |

By the way, I feel like Binance do this because they don't have branch in Russia. I could be wrong about it and still curious to figure it out.
The ukraine government is not only asking for binance but they are also asking for the same for coinbase, kraken, kucoin. But all refused. This is clearly the right decision. The nature of crypto is freedom, if exchanges unilaterally lock user accounts, it will go against the principles of crypto of decentralization and financial freedom. |

You are right. Looking at Inter Milan's performance in the Champions League, I don't think their goal is a title. I was not satisfied with their performance on the group stage either. At the moment they have lost a lot of points in Serie A and lost the top spot in the table. They are the third team at the table. Now if they do not improve their performance in Serie A then gradually they will fall further behind and move away from the title. So maybe they will give more priority to Serie A matches now. Yes, I don't see any other way for them because the Liverpool match looks kind of Lost already and if they don't give importance to the league matches they will go further down. And I think ok so they will want to win and not drop points from now on as they have a chance to win the league title. snip
This is the most likely scenario, it is going to be incredibly difficult for Inter to be able to comeback from the two goals deficit they are facing, and if that is the case then they may as well just forget about the champions and concentrate themselves on winning their local league instead and rest their starting players, now some may think this is a defeatist attitude but when we think of the low chances they have to actually win this match they may as well save themselves the trouble and concentrate on their local league instead. Well, I actually think that even though they know that this match might be a loss cause they will still try to go for the win and play their main 11. Because it's not over till it's over right? But they should actually race to their main players and concentrate on the local League in my opinion. |

The problem with Inter Milan is that they have been increasingly in a slump for weeks. This can also be seen in the league, where they had a good lead at one point as top of the table, but have since been caught up by AC Milan and Napoli. Therefore, the performance in the first leg against Liverpool was no surprise. I think Liverpool will move into the next round with confidence.
I also don't see Inter doing better in England. Liverpool are well motivated, they are still in the race for the victory of the English Premier League, they have just won the League Cup and so they have every reason to fight well in that match. Inter have to be aware of several factors, in addition to having to recover from a 2-goal difference, they still have to be careful for their position in Serie A not to be in question. I think that inter is going to be more focused on their League games because they have a really good chance of being at the top by winning the next match. That might cause them to overlook the UEFA Champions League matches, and the match with Liverpool is hard already because Liverpool has a 2 goal lead. I don't think inter has any chance, to be honest. |

I believe we all will be keenly following this series, as it’ll be really interesting to see if Pakistan can dominate Australia in their home ground. Also as far as security is concerned I feel it’ll not be an issue, as both countries have checked all the preparations, and once this series ends successfully I feel that other countries will immediately express their interest to tour Pakistan. It's going to be really good for Pakistan in the long run and I am looking forward to seeing a lot more countries tour Pakistan after the series. To be honest no one has that much problem tour in Pakistan except for India. One of the fast bowler in the test squad Haris Rauf tested positive for COVID-19. He is supposed to play his debut test match in his home ground Rawalpindi. Already fast bowler Hasan Ali and allrounder Faheem Ashraf were out of the first test due to injuries happened during the Pakistan Super League. Lets wait and watch what is gonna happen within few days.
Pakistan certainly needs to find a substitute for him as soon as possible. Probably we might see some reserve players in action. Mohammad Abbas could be a valid option. |

I never had the doubt that this T20 series would be a whitewash. Indian team has been performing exceptionally well under the captainship of Rohit Sharma. Not to forget some consistent and agressive batting from Shreyas Iyer too. Ravindra Jadeja has gained his lost form and Ishan Kishan also proved why he is now the highest paid player in IPL. Next ODI series with Srilanka and I hope that the India team performs in the same manner.
First, after a long time, India is back in form. More importantly, the top order players have been able to play well. That is why India has won every match. They were out of form for a long time. Because they were not in the form of top order batsmen. If India's top order is able to play well in the ODI series then maybe we will see the same result again. India will win all the matches. I think it's not the case about India not being in form. I think it was more about the Indian top-order failing. And the problem looks to be solved right now. And it's not a surprise to anyone, in my opinion, the result of this series. Problems seem to be getting solved in the team. Next is the test series and I think the results are going to be somewhat similar in that too. |

Let's just deviate from Pakistan India seris which is not going to happen in a decade. There is breaking news for PCB and cricket fans in Pakistan as Australia arrive in Pakistan for first tour in 24 years. Aussie captain after touch down in Pakistan saying 'I feel incredibly safe,'.Tour will start with 3 match test series and first test is scheduled on 4th March 2022. Both teams are in good form. I rate Australia favorite for test format while Pakistan in T20 series as both have performed well in these formats. This is a big history in Cricket. This series will surely help Pakistan build better infrastructure for cricket. Moreover we can expect more countries touring Pakistan in the coming months. Pakistan will give good security for the players and Pakistan people will be happy to watch a big series happening in the country after a long gap. As said Australia will have good chance on tests and T20 will be dominated by Pakistan. If this tour goes pretty well then I think we will see a lot of other teams tour Pakistan pretty soon. But the Pakistan government is going to have to make sure that the security is really good and no unexpected occurrence can happen. And this is going to be really good for Pakistan cricket and also for future PSL. I know that India is not going to tour Pakistan anytime soon but I would like the other Asian teams to tour Pakistan. |
