Chelsea pre-season match ended in a defeat for Raheem Sterling who just made his debut for the club. It's only the beginning, so don't be surprised. The relationship between Speedsters and Chelsea is never good. If the coach does not change the 3-4-3 then their attack will be poor. Sterling plays Manchester City style and is very pleasing. The game was a preseason friendly, however, they lost. There are a lot of things this guy has to offer, so I'll be patient.

I cant say their game is better than what they've played last year based on the pre-season results. They did win their pre-season matches including the one against Liverpool but I dont think they are better now. The real league will be much different as what you say, and I dont think what they have done in pre-season is not enough to prove that they will be competitive with the other top EPL clubs such as City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and others. They might be good enough as mediocre team but they are not that good as top team in EPL.
I agree that pre-season and league season are far different, but from what I saw so far, I think Manchester United will be able to compete on the big 4 this season if they play consistently like how they play on the pre-season, but consistency is also their main problem. But I will say they shouldn't aim to win the EPL title, they should just try to get Champions League Ticket. Pre-season cannot be used as a basis for judging a team's performance because the atmosphere and the pressure must be much different from the main league. The tight schedule and the potential for injury while playing in the Premier League will also determine the position in the table. So because the match hasn't even been held yet then it's obviously difficult to predict how Man United will perform this season. But with Ten Hag being Man United's coach along with the new players he signed, I think Man United will get a better result than last season. Although judging them based on pre-season performance might be premature, I am definitely looking forward to the new beginning of Man United in 22-23. Manchester United's new center-back is Lisandro Martinez. If Varane is unfit and Maguire is forced to play the CB position because Bailly is unreliable and often unfit, United will be doomed again. In this season's defense, Man United's success primarily depends on Varane's fitness and Maguire's form. There is a great deal of competition, and the best starts are there. Everyone is competing, and that's what makes the difference.

I too agree that this tweet is much better instead of all the criticism Virat has been getting from former player’s, and this shows that these two sides chose humanity over their natural rivalry. Furthermore don’t you’ll think that Virat needs to step away from the team and get back to his basics, because we need him firing for the T20 World Cup but at this current rate the team management will have to drop him, hence shouldn’t he try and revive himself before it’s too late?. Virat's style of play has changed over the years and he is no longer suitable for T20 cricket. Since there is big money in T20, he may still focus on that format, but IMO he should retire from T20Is and concentrate on ODIs and test matches (he can still participate in the IPL). But I am suspecting that the selectors are losing their patience. He needs to regain his form, or the selectors may ask him to GTFO. Unfortunately for Virat, and fortunately for the Indian team, a lot of promising youngsters are emerging and at least some are in direct competition with him. In order to regain form before the Asia Cup and the T20 world cup, BCCI selectors want Virat Kohli to play 3 ODIs against Zimbabwe. A failure there will not force him to retire. With the money these players are earning, cricket must be a cruel game. The most important thing is that you are involved in advertising, and they want you to play even if you don't perform. Based on his past performance, how many days can he survive? Several young players are waiting to make their debut in the team, so why don't selectors ignore Virat? In fact, avoiding him is very difficult.

his retirement is a huge loss not only for England but for the fans too, I for one will definitely miss him in the ODI format and I’m sincerely praying that he continues in other formats for a long while now. Furthermore South Africa seems to have a stable start as they have scored 72 runs in 13 overs for the loss of one wicket, but if England can get few quick wickets now then that’ll definitely put SA under pressure and give England a chance to win this game easily. The end wasn't good for Ben Stokes in his last ODI match. England has lost the match. But he will always be remembered for his great contribution in 2019 ODI world cup final match. England has won the ODI world cup for his great performance. His ODI career stats is great too. Ben Stokes has taken this decision for the welfare of England team. Because he is unable to concentrate properly in all format. He isn't going to take the retirement from the other formats in the near future. ”31 year old Ben Stokes has announced that England's ODI match against South Africa on Tuesday will be his last ODI”. After knowing the utterance many of his fans were shocked. Because he is a great and successful player in cricket. There is noting to say about his success. He has played 105 matches in international ODI cricket. His total runs there are 2924 and batting average is 38.98. He is one of the best in not only batting but also bowling. The reason for his sudden retirement from ODI is that he will now concentrate on Test cricket. It is sad not to see Ben Stokes again in colored clothing as he is one of the greatest all-rounders in world cricket. Having retired from his least favorite format, he will now focus on test cricket. Due to his outstanding performance in the 2019 World Cup final match, England and the cricket world will always remember him. It is safe to say that he was one of the true heroes of the 2019 World Cup.

It's nothing new for Elon Musk to manipulate the market. 75% of Tesla's bitcoin holdings were sold in Q2 for $936 million.
Don't you think Tesla paid more per Bitcoin? The things has yet to be resolved. Covid restrictions shut down his factory in China, which is why he's selling bitcoin. Is it wise to sell bitcoin during a bear market? Is there a logical explanation for selling at a loss of approximately $500 million? For hand cash only!

Paulo Dybala is staying in serie a as expected after his departure from juventus turin on a free transfer. on wednesday as roma announced the signing of the argentine international striker. P. Dybala receives a contract until summer 2025.
From Juventus to Roma. Dybala signs a three-year contract with AS Roma as a free agent. It wasn't necessary for him to stay in Serie A. It would have been better if he went somewhere else like La Liga. Does Mourinho or money really make him want to join Roma? Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing what Mourinho does with him next season. It is true that Jose Mourinho has a decent squad, but can they compete with teams such as Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus for Serie A titles?

It's time for Leo Messi to open his preseason account against Kawasaki. A new season brings a new beginning. In the game of football, Messi is one of the legends. When the season begins, you never know what he will become. When Messi looks like this, I love it. It looks like he is prepared for the season. This season, he should be able to accomplish more than ever before.

Chelsea is a very rich club in Premier League. But they are very reluctant to spend money. They are not interested in buying players with high prices. They want to build better teams with less money. But this is not always possible. If the Chelsea management had given Tuchel enough funding, Chelsea would have fought for both the Premier League and Champions League titles.
With Chelsea's current squad they can compete for all four titles, i am surprised you are writing them off, even when the season is yet to start, Chelsea didn't have a bad squad before this summer to begin with, they just lost a couple of their defenders, of which they must have to replace them, they have already signed Koulibaly, and they are chasing one more defender i think, they have also strengthened their attack with the acquisition of Raheem Sterling from City, which is a brlliant signing. Chelsea are doing good business in my opinion, they are only being somewhat prudent in their spending because they already have a good squad, and only minimal spending is required to ensure they are going to compete for all four trophies. You might be right. As a manager, Tuchel is able to improve a team rather than focusing on one player. Everyone at Chelsea plays for him. The performance of Koulibaly will be excellent. The Serie A matches are less intense and revolve more around tactics than the Premier League, so it is possible for Koulibaly to adapt quite quickly to the fast-paced nature of the Premier League. As with Koulibaly, Raheem Sterling from City is also a nice addition, and his addition will have a big impact on Chelsea.

Yeah they are 5 down but i think it's too late for SL now as Pak need only 44 runs so they should feel safe. SL need a miracle and bit of luck as i felt that they were really unlucky to not get any wickets early, especially Prabath Jayasuriya. He was troubling both the batters in the morning and almost got Rizwan's wicket on first ball of the day with a ripper.
Ramesh Mendis is bowling shit and Theekshana is struggling with finger injury. No one supporting Jayasuriya from other end.
Still I don't think that Pakistan's victory is confirmed. They have 5 wickets in hand, and Sri Lankan bowlers apart from Prabath Jayasuriya are not troubling the Pak batsmen. Anyway, the match will be decided within one hour after lunch. I expect Mohammad Nawaz and Yasir Shah (if needed) to bat sensibly and provide strike to Shafique. And the most important thing for Shafique to do will be to play in his own natural style. They need to remember that it is the Lankans who are desperate and not the Pakistanis. It only needs 11 more runs to be completed due to rain. From here, I don't see any problems. Abdullah Shafique put on an exceptional batting display, not only scoring unbeaten 154 runs but will ensuring his side's victory. A masterclass from a phenomenal talent, a well-deserved 150. In the same way as Babar, the opener leads from the front, the best test opener in a long time.

There is no more chance for Sri Lanka to win the match. Shafique is in good position at 112 runs. Babar Azam have lost his wicket to Jayasuriya at 55 runs. Pakistan is in need of 120 runs in the last day of the match. Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan on the crease makes it easy. If there is fall of wickets in the first session, then there arises some difficulty in reaching the target.
we shouldn't write off Sri Lanka just yet. It's true pakistan is favorite atm but before Pak's 4th inning, Sri Lankans were favorite and situation completely changed with in 2 sessions. 2 quick wickets in the morning and Sri Lanka would fancy their chances again. In such situation batting collapse is very much possible. Pakistan returned to the game with a 101-run partnership between Babar Azam and Abdullah Shafique. Watching this beautiful test is a real treat. I can't believe how thrilling the comeback has been! On the final day, a target of 120 runs is what we're looking forward to, along with a few magic spells!

The puzzle about Cristiano Ronaldo's status at Manchester United is still a question. Speculation about him is now running wild, some are criticizing his current behavior while others think it is a natural thing. But I think he (Ronaldo) should show up and explain what really happened, because until now there have been various kinds of news which I think will reduce his prestige a little as a player.
He is busy carrying out hard work at the gym and with family and friends. Did you see the pictures he posted on twiter some day behind. ? He will be back to Manchester United, the coach has plans with Ronaldo and Ronaldo is not for sale that should be noted. Manchester played nicely today winning past palace three goals to one. Martial has now scored in all three Manchester United games ins the pre season. Maguire was also brilliant as he didn't make errors like he normally do Erik ten Hag will be excited to work with Ronaldo and expressed some feelings towards him. As of now, Ronaldo will remain at Manchester United for another season. Although I'd like him to leave and play for a champions league side, would he be comfortable returning to the Man United squad if he stayed? The goal is not to leave Manchester United, but rather to avoid the Europa League. With all the fake news out there, we can't avoid a real fact.

England - South Africa
The first ODI match between England vs South Africa will be played today. Both teams will play 3 ODIs, 3 T20s and 3 Test matches in this series. After a humiliating series defeats against India, England will need a win against South Africa today. South Africa played their last ODI series against Bangladesh, and South Africa lost the series. And so in this series, I consider England as the favorite.
South Africa are in the driving seat, with 215/2 after 36 overs. Rassie van der Dussen is likely to hit a century, even though Malan ended his innings a little earlier than expected. Rassie van der Dussen and Markram are on the pitch and both are capable of big things from here on out. Their relaxed and comfortable style allows them to go big, so around 340-350 would be enough to beat Eng.

It's tough but not impossible tbh. Also trend in this particular test match is kinda weird, first 2 days we saw 2 batting collapse and low score but now scoring rate is getting better, it happened for SL and same thing happening with Pak in this inning.
They already got a good start and openers are looking good too. Pakistan do have a habit of collapse tho.
They need another 274 runs and Babar Azam is yet to come to bat. So far the two openers have handled the Sri Lankan spinners well. But as you said, a batting collapse can occur at any point with Pakistan. Actually I am surprised with the resilience being shown by the Lankans. Agreed that they are playing under home conditions. But with civil war like situation prevailing over the country, it is very difficult to stay focused. Anyway, in all probability the match will be decided by today itself. Two sessions and almost 60 overs of play are remaining. I think Pakistan's openers have set up a very good platform for their chase. Pakistan lost their opener Imam-ul-Haq after the launch break. A good run rate and a positive intent belong to them in that session, but they still have a long way to go. For Pakistan to win, they need three strong sessions and for Sri Lanka to get back on track they need one strong session. Neither team can afford to lose patience in this game. As soon as the heavy roller effect wears off, things may begin to happen.

I think Barcelona have gotten enough players to kick off the season already. They will now focus on going into the pre season friendlies and focus on building a relationship with the players. They have done a great job getting these players to join the club despite the financial restrictions they faced this summer its so shocking right?
Based on the unsatisfactory performance last season, Barcelona need new players in the position of winger, right-back, midfielder, and striker in order to improve the quality of their squad next season. Barcelona is moving quickly to strengthen its squad in all sectors, on the front lines there are already Lewandowski and Raphinha, Kessie will decorate Barcelona midfield, while Christensen will help Barcelona in defense. Barcelona are also prioritizing signing Jules Kunde, the club's management wants to complete the transfer as soon as possible, they are also close to reaching an agreement with Chelsea for Azpilicueta. True, they have done a great job, Barcelona strength will add up after some new faces adorn Xavi squad. Real Madrid as the reigning La Liga champions need to be aware of the maneuvers carried out by Barcelona, if Madrid are not able to maintain their performance, Barcelona can take the throne from Real Madrid. I am eagerly awaiting the start of the new season. Their attack is alarming. There are so many options available to Barca! A difficult decision will need to be made by Xavi when it comes to picking his starting lineup next season. The left side features Dembele, the right side features Raphinha, and the center forward position is occupied by Lewa. Fati isn't ready for top-level competition. Raphinha, Lewandowski, and Ansu are my preferred combinations.

That's right. This is what I see happening as well. This is the first time in a long time that BTC is showing signs of bullishness. It is this type of move that I am seeking. There are a lot of people eyeing similar opportunities. As a matter of fact, there is very little resistance the whole way. That you're hitting a point in the market where it's no longer just down, is exciting to me. If there was a large squeeze, I think bitcoin would rise to 24k to 25k if there was a weekend pump.

Sri Lanka extend their lead beyond 300 thanks to Dinesh Chandimal, and he might pick up his ton on day 4. At the end of day 3, Sri Lanka led by 333 runs. There will be no completion of the job until it is completed. To win, Sri Lanka must remain humble and put in maximum effort. Despite playing good cricket, Pakistan is short of a spinner. Although it will be extremely difficult for them to chase 300+ in Galle for the fourth innings, they will surely give it their best shot.

Paulo Dybala is a free agent in Juventus. The Argentine might consider a move to a club sooner because he presently have no interest to renewed or extend his contract with the old Lady. José Mourinho would want to work with the 28 years old and AS Roma are preparing a bid for the attacking midfielder. However, one thing I know about the deal is that, Paulo Dybala will soon decide on his future for each of the team opening talks with his agents. Although, we other clubs such as Manchester United and Arsenal have are also interested in him.
As a free agent, Dybala is still available. A meeting between AS Roma and Paulo Dybala's agents was held today. A final decision on Dybala's future is likely to be made soon as he seems to be convinced that he should move to AS Roma. Is AS Roma eligible to play in the Champions League next season? It is not possible. Is there a reason why he refused to go with Arsenal and Manchester United? It's sometimes surprising when these things happen.

Robert Lewandowski's arrival would affect Barcelona very positively in the coming season. I know that they already had Aubameyang but I still thought that they should have signed a top striker to compete harder in the La Liga and the Champions League both. Real Madrid had better get ready for a tough challenge this time. We still don't know what transfers we will see as there is a long time period until the end of the transfer window. These transfers can play a key role for both teams.
Of course, with the presence of Robert Lewandowski at Barcelona, he will take on an important role in increasing the strength of Barcelona itself. And Barcelona's decision to sign Robert Lewandowski was the right one. and even before being recruited by Barcelona, even Robert Lewandowski looked very interested and had a strong desire to enter Barcelona. so I believe Robert Lewandowski will give his best performance for barcelona. With his great desire to play for Barcelona, it became an important asset for him in improving his game even with a new team. Both (Lewandowski and Barcelona) have a high desire to bring something more than the previous season. That way Robert Lewandowski will definitely give the best for Barcelona. Yups... Hopefully Lewandowski can help in realizing the hopes of Barcelona fans to bring Barcelona back to life this season. because as we know last season barcelona had a bit of a problem. and of course his biggest hope is in this season barcelona can show its strength again. I'm glad to hear that! They are prioritizing signing everyone Xavi wants. He has told them who he wants, and they are doing their best to fulfill that request. There is no doubt that the club will develop and win a lot of games. As Barcelona fans, we hope Lewandowski can assist in realizing our hopes to return to La Liga glory. All we want to see is that the club is back in control of Barcelona.

- It's certainly something great because it may not be diversified, but the casino is not going anywhere. If you are doubting about your investment not being a long term thing, I can't think of many investments that are as long term as being tied to a whole casino.
It is true that the community is growing, and tons of new events are planned for the future. Is it worth investing in BFG staking? My recommendation would be to make an investment in BFG if you're going to ask me. Consequently, this investment has a chance of doubling over time. Money that is not needed can be invested, and if it works out, more can be bought. Sure, I'll do that.

Tamim Iqbal has announced retirement from T20 International Cricket,You will be missed by every Bangladeshi fans & will be remembered as one of the finest batsman of Bangladesh cricket!
He is a senior player of Bangladesh Cricket. Maybe he wants to retire from T20 due to related reasons. Tamim is one of the experienced players in Bangladesh team. It would have been good for the team if he had participated in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Experienced players are much needed in World Cup. As we see Indian cricketer Virat Kohli is also being given opportunities again and again because of the T20 World Cup. Although Tamim is not such type of player but according to the situation of Bangladesh cricket it would be better for Bangladesh cricket if Tamim add to the T20 squad for upcoming T20 World Cup. Tamim Iqbal was not that too old, just 33 years. He could have played T20I for one or two more years. He has played 78 t20i and scored 1758 runs for Bangladesh with strike rate of 116. Tamim has done his Job for Bangladesh and now its upto New talent to take over. Tamim Iqbal is not too old. He could easily have continued playing in the T20 format for another 3/4 years. But I don't understand why he is thinking of retiring now. Bangladesh is yet to find a suitable replacement for Tamim Iqbal. There is no good opener in any Bangladesh squad. So if Tamim Iqbal retires now then the Bangladesh team will definitely face a problem. Tamim should be with the team for the next World Cup. There's no point in calling it off at this point. The hard hitting ability is still there in him. As Bangladeshi cricket lovers, we are very disappointed and saddened by this news. He made a bad decision here, in my opinion. T20 has lost a great sportsman. A great gentleman and one of the best openers in the Bangladesh team. All his life he has been a fantastic cricketer, playing at a time when Bangladesh became a major power.
