For De Jong it doesn't look like he has a very serious injury, Van Gaal explains De jong was pulled out just in case. he felt the tension in his muscles, but for Jules Kunde, and Araujo, if barcelona lost them both for a significant period of time would be a huge blow to Xavi, who has made this pair the mainstay of defense in the team with his new.
it looks like Xavi will have difficulty continuing his squad's positive trend in La Liga, especially when Barcelona will play Champions League matches and El Classico matches.
it's difficult but actually I think there are some second-tier players who are quite capable, I like Hector Bellerin, he can be counted on to be the main starter for a while.
FIFA matchday give bad impact for Barcelona team after several their players get injury exactly next weeks have many important match against with Inter Milan on UEFA Champion League group stage. I think difficult situation faced by Barcelona after several player with most serious injury, Barcelona have official announcement about Jules Kunde, and Araujo will miss until four weeks later and exactly first el clasico match in this season have out for both them. Still waiting with another official announcement injury got by Frankie De Jong, will he miss many important match for Barcelona on Champion League until el casico match against with Real Madrid on 16th October? I think if third player can't back as soon possible looks terrible for Barcelona position exactly on Champion League. Barcelona will have to face many problems for the game ahead. Because several in-form players have been injured so far. It will take about a few weeks for them to heal. As a result, Barcelona are not getting them in the next El Clasico. I don't know what will happen to Barcelona. |

On the ground Reality i denyyour fact as i know that thats myth thats very clear that audience Support give energy but the game is based on the performance so assuming that they are playing in hime ground so they can be champion thats like Calculating the Shining Stars. So dear calm down here is England , Newzland , Pakistan , India + Never underestimate the New teams as Sri Lanka so it will be on the day of match who is going to win or lose for now its Bluff.
Current Asia Cup victory will give Srilanka lots of confidence for the World Cup. Pakistan is also in good form and is also capable of winning the worldcup. Australia right now is not in good form and they are also not good performer in T20. It will be fun to watch. It is indeed true that winning the Asia Cup will give Sri Lanka a lot of confidence going into the World Cup. But I think other teams will correct their mistakes and become stronger. All the teams of the world will participate in T20 World Cup. There are many differences between T20 World Cup and Asia Cup. |

Real Madrid will find it difficult to face Atletico Madrid because Carlo Ancelotti is not expected to include the injured Karim Benzema and Barcelona's 3-0 win over Elche FC could be a burden for Real Madrid in my opinion.
If you look at Atletico's several games, in fact, they are also not very good. But I think Atletico have a high motive if they meet Madrid. There is a prestige that they must win. So indeed the match will be quite difficult to predict. Benzema's injury will probably dampen Madrid's strength. But I think they still have a midfielder ready to make goals. Because I also know they don't have a striker as good as Benzema for the time being. I hope Madrid are able to win and return to the top of La liga. Because at this time Barcelona has 1 point more than Madrid. It's a Real Madrid game without Benzema, and I'd like to see Carlo Ancelotti put his strategy into action when he loses his top striker. Of course this will add to the work of Real Madrid, but we know how Real Madrid is without a Benzema. I'm sure Ancelotti has prepared for this, so we'll see if the strategy works well or not. Benzema is one of the players of Real Madrid team. I have never seen Real Madrid play without Benzema. But Atletico Madrid is a very strong team. It is only a matter of time to see what the Real Madrid coach can achieve with Benzema out of the squad. |

Madrid has several times playing without Benzema this season and they can through it without any problem and for Vinicius indeed he is top scorer for Madrid with 4 goals but he more likely played as a winger and today if there is no Benzema usually Ancelotti played Rodrygo on center striker although his not too sharp but he can playing well on that position and regarding bet option Real Madrid is on fire they can get 100% wins results in all competitions during this season so i dare to bet for them because i am sure 3 points will belongs to them
A little disturbed without Benzema up front, Ancelotti was forced to rest Benzema with a knee problem against Celtic the week before but I don't think that's a big deal, Real Madrid are the only Spanish team to win without relying on a star player. Atletico Madrid want to break the positive trend of Real Madrid who are unbeaten in La Liga, but it looks like they are not in good form to do that, I believe Real Madrid can get the three points. Seeing Real Madrid's current performance without Benzema's presence, I am quite optimistic about it. They still have Hazard in center forward with Rodrygo as winger and Valverde as attacking midfielder. Another option is Rodrgo can be used as a center forward and Valverde or Asensio can be a winger. Currently with several young players who can play in several lines, Ancelotti is actually very easy to set up strategy. From what I understand from Real Madrid's squad, their squad is quite balanced. I don't see any impact on their team without Benzema. But Benzema is a good goal scorer. I can see the lack of goals in Benzema's absence. |

I think Australia is a team capable of playing in any format. They have players of all formats in their team, they just use the timing. Their style of cricket is world class. They hope to do well in the upcoming T20 World Cup. All the players in their team are very responsible.
First of all, Australia is not considered as a top-3 team in any of the formats. The current Australian team is perhaps the weakest they ever had in the history of cricket. And I am not sure which player in the current squad is capable of playing in multiple formats. Smith and Labuschagne struggle in limited overs cricket, while players such as Warner and Finch are very weak in test format. And then there are players such as Travis Head and Nathan Lyon who are not suitable for any of the formats. Lol I do agree that this Australian is not strong as their previous teams but you are going a bit off road. ATM they are the number 1 team in Tests and they also won the last T-20 WC. Their White ball ranking might look bad on the points table (mainly because they hardly give any importance to white ball bilateral) but they are a big team in white ball cricket when it comes to ICC tournaments. Australia is still one of the favorites and I am confident this team will perform differently when they will be playing on their home grounds. It is also not easy to predict a T20 tournament. Who thought that Srilanka would win the Asia cup? Every team preforms completely unexpected when they are playing a T20 tournament. Australia is one of the top teams in any cricket format. They are capable of defeating any team. T20 World Cup is coming soon, all the teams are preparing well. However, since the T20 World Cup is going to be held at Australia's home ground, there is a possibility of them becoming champions. |

In a match against Dortmund, Erling Haaland scored the winning goal. All of us are delighted to see the boys playing so well, but when it comes to his tactics, I'm really eager to find out how he will implement them because it's a new season. The rocket goal by Jhon Stones and Cancelo's assist on Haaland's amazing strike deserve praise.
So far Manchester City are still on a positive path in the Champions qualifiers, two games played, both taking full points. While Borussia Dortmund only collected three points, from the two matches that have been played, Erling Haaland's goal became the winner for them Yes, in the first half Borussia Dortmund played quite well. They chose to play defensive football because they came as guests and they realized that Man City are a big team with dangerous attacks. The strategy from Borussia Dortmund seems to have worked and makes Man City look desperate. But after Man City scored the first goal, it made Man City more confident so they could really dominate the game.
Borussia Dortmund's defense was quite difficult to penetrate by Manchester City in the first half, because they played quite well in the bottom row, but unfortunately after scoring a goal Borussia Dortmund played defensively, thus creating opportunities for Manchester City to hold the ball more. Disaster came after the first goal, City continued to press and attack, until Haland was able to lock the victory in the 84th minute Basically I watched the entire game. Borussia Dortmund played really well. They always prevented Manchester City from getting the ball. Their defense has shown great potential. I expected them to win the game. But Haland's goal in the last phase of the game put Dortmund behind and ultimately defeated. |

I have seen Asad Rauf umpiring in many matches and he was an asset, not only for Pakistan but globally recognized, however, there were corruption charges on him and he was also involved in the 2013 IPL spot fixing. He was banned from umping and these days running up a clothes shop in his native city before he died at the age of 66. What made me sad is that life is so unpredictable, and we never know when our last day in this world will be.
Life is really unpredictable, we lost many users in this forum in the past two years and the pandemic has taken your loved ones as well. This year we saw the demise of Shane Warne as well as Andrew Symonds and now Asad Rauf who was a decent umpire during his officiating times even though there are allegations against him and got suspended for 5 years but i have not seen any reports publicly regarding those fixing charges. ~
Finally India was able to reach 122 runs. This time it is the bottom order players that contributed to the score. The opening and the middle order failed. On the England side it had a good start, the first wicket fell at the 10th over. If there were few wicket fall at the beginning overs, the match could've gone little more closer. England won the match easily, it was a surprising victory for India in their last match and i was expecting England to bounce back stronger and hence waged for them and the Indian batters failed this time to put a fighting total. England women cricketers have shown great skill. They managed to win the match easily with the loss of few wickets and few more balls to go. Indian batsmen should have scored more runs but they failed to do so. Fewer runs were the main reason for India's defeat. |

Irrespective of the outcome from the final match, India should be happy with the results. The series was won by England by a margin of 2-1, but India proved that they are capable of serious challenge. That said, they should introspect and analyze their weaknesses. Even under pace-friendly conditions, Indian seamers were not very effective against the England batters. Renuka Singh Thakur was in excellent form, but she was expensive in this series. On the other hand, it was the spinners such as Radha Yadav who picked up wickets.
India needed at least 60 more runs. Their team's bowlers were not able to take quick wickets. The batsmen of the England team have shown great discretion. They won the match very calmly. India need to work more in the bowling department. Besides, the batsmen have to acquire the ability to score more runs. |

When I mentioned to a friend how Barcelona would struggle to regain morale this season after the sale of Messi, he thought I didn't know what I meant. A coach is as good as the quality of players he has in his camp. Xavi Hernandez got a lot of doing still if he intends to finish in a comfortable champions league spot this season. The game against Bayern exposed them really, against Elche, they have been a great side in their capacity this season and would be looking to upset any chances of Barca seizing all points in their upcoming clash.
Real Madrid vs Athletico Madrid's match will also be one very interesting match to look forward to. I see an over ×2.5 goal aggregate after 90mins.
Xavi came when Messi wasn't there, so I think Xavi build Barcelona from zero without capital anything, Barcelona before Xavi is a loser, they never got the win and people just think Barcelona do not be degraded is good, I'm surprised also the result Barcelona landing on champions league zone in the last session. So, the expectation was building after Xavi got the full managing for this session, which means Barcelona v.2 just come to a new era, and people hoped to happen again like pep. It's not true. If xavi was building the club without capital and then the club will not able to buy any players during last few years. I meant even when barcelona was facing a huge financial problem but it was still buying some players to follow another club. I cna't agree if you said xavi was building the club without any capital. You must consider the players who are in the club before it was being coached by xavi as assets owned by the club as well. That's quite different when you build a club with no money. No club can run without money. Also Barcelona has money maybe more or less than other clubs. Xavi must have taken care of the club's finances before coming in as coach. So that he can later buy some new players and organize the club. Which we see after the arrival of Xavi how he brings in so many new faces. |

this season Real Madrid has a strong midfield game. they are strong on the attack making their goal productivity good. but with that kind of power, it leaves a hole in the defense. that's what makes Madrid concede every time. However, the Madrid defense is not as strong as it used to be. they lost some strong defenders.
Even though Real Madrid have lost some strong defenders this season, that doesn't mean Real Madrid will be weak because in five games this season Real Madrid still haven't lost despite the possibility of being beaten by Atletico Madrid. But so far Atletico Madrid are also not completely perfect in terms of their performance so there are other possibilities that can also happen even though the Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid match takes place at Atletico Madrid's home. but in the game against Atletico, predicting it will be quite difficult. Atletico has tried to be on a good trend for now. Of course, playing at home will not make them easy to beat. Madrid must lower their main squad and play seriously. Barcelona is still lurking in Madrid.
So far, Real Madrid are quite serious about playing, even though they haven't fully deployed the main squad because considering that there is a league that is more important than La Liga this season for Real Madrid. So they also have to be good at arranging the players so that the team's performance does not decrease. Basically all the players of Real Madrid perform well. They take every game seriously. Each team is treated equally. Everyone plays their best. Due to which they are in a good position in any league. They have games ahead of them with big teams, that will be important to win. So the coach of the team left some good players on the bench. |

I think this will be a very good and uncertain match.
Both teams were very good in the first round of the group, but Bayern had a much stronger opponent, and at the same time showed great quality and dominance.
I think that Bayern found a very good replacement for Lewandowski in Mane, and they dominate again in the Champions League and in the German Championship and I give them a slight advantage in this match.
Barcelona also brought in new players and raised their level of play, and I believe that there is no chance that they will be eliminated in the group stage of the Champions League this season, as they were last season, although they are in a very difficult group of the Champions League.
Bayern is a lot more established club with most of their players, even though they lost Lewandowski, they got Mane instead and he is a great player as well, on top of that they also have players that could in return play very well and been playing together for a very long time as well. Barcelona on the other hand got new players on all positions and there are only a few players coming back from last year, they do not have the chemistry that Bayern has, and neither way more talented than them neither. I am guessing Bayern will probably just run hard and tire out Barcelona and beat them by 70th or 75th minute, and score easier after that. I think we both agree that Bayern is currently ahead of Barcelona, and in terms of game organization, experience, team cohesion etc. Everyone wondered how Bayern would play without Lewandowski, but in fact, you can hardly see any difference in their game, they are still a great team, maybe even a better team compared to last season. I watched their game against Inter and it was a rarely seen dominance from an away team against Inter in Milan. Barcelona is slowly raising the level of their game with Xavi, but it will take them some time to reach the level of Bayern. Most of Bayern's players have long been associated with the team and have a good understanding. Barcelona have brought in a lot of new players this season, and while there are plenty of juniors, it will take some time for them to play their proper game. But do I think Bayern Munich can beat Barcelona? |

The good news is that we can still buy beer in Qatar during the 2022 FIFA world cup. because the FIFA has held intensive talks with the organizers. because this issue is important to FIFA. because after all the producer of Budweiser Beer has been the main sponsor of FIFA for almost three decades. And taking into account the World Cup spectators who also came from outside Qatar. then later there will be a stand selling beer near the stadium door. so the audience can still enjoy a beer while watching the game.
I think its not a big issue and football can continue even if there is a ban on alcohol and other restrictions. The world must understand that every country has its own values and we must respect those value. Alcohol is ban in Qatar since its an Islamic country but since Qatar has bowed then its good for alcohol lovers. It is our moral value to follow the rules of every country. Since Qatar is going to host the best World Cup in history, they can make rules to end it successfully. It is our moral duty to respect that rule. Hope all of us who are going to watch the game live will watch the game with the rules in mind. Hope we all enjoy the World Cup. This year's World Cup in Qatar will be spectacular. The country's authority is doing a lot of duty so that they can finish the World Cup successfully. Qatar can make some rules to manage everything properly which I think is normal. It is our moral responsibility to follow their rules. Hope those who will watch the game live will be very careful about their rules and regulations. |

exactly dear its a long time match here i am trying to see how to see an easy win but its not possible on the moment Pakistan need the hitters now and Sr Lanka needs 2 wickets now expect the unexpected from Rizwan as always best man alive in team, match is hanging fingers crossed and expecting to win Pakistan
Huh? I didn't get anything that you just wrote. I know you are from Pakistan, and you are excited about this match. But, Please do not post for signature requirements only. I don't think anyone else understood what you tried to say here.
The match is already under Sri Lankans' control. Rizwan tried to stay on the crease. But, You cannot play a lot of Dot ball with such a Required run rate. Another hope was Asif Ali, and he faced one ball only. Fact, Asif Ali faced Hasranga 5 times so far in T20I's. He faced 11 Balls, Scored six runs and dismissals four times. Advance Congrats Team Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka's performance in the Asia Cup tournament was spectacular. They are going to be champions today in their capacity. Good luck to them. They have improved the team a lot. Sri Lanka may not have been favourites, but they are on their way to victory today and are undoubtedly the winners. |

Mr. Captain of Pakistan failed again to prove himself in this series. In the last five matches, He was unable to score a single 50+ score which is sad. He was supposed to lead the team from the front end. Another failure for Fakhar zaman. Pramod Madushan was outstanding so far. Wanindu Hasaranga also doing very good. Pakistan players have to keep their nerves. The match still hanging. Let's see what happens.
It is a good cricket for Sri Lankan team. They have been able to keep Pakistan under a lot of pressure. Pakistan's required run rate has increased to 14.28. The match is now almost in Sri Lanka's control. But a T20 match requires an over that can change everything for the whole team. So far Sri Lanka is almost on the way to victory. Pakistan's middle order batsmen are already out. Now they need 3 times as many runs as the ball so if they want to hit a boundary there is a possibility of getting out. I believe the winner of the Asia Cup will be Sri Lanka |

Real Madrid made me nervous first after Mallorca got 1-0 ahead. But their comeback was incredibly good indeed. They won 4-1 at the end and they are continuing to ressure their fans about this season. They don't have so many serious opponents in the league currently already. Barcelona are the most serious one obviously but they are powerful enough to beat everyone else left without caring about home or away games.
However the tightness of the fixture will be a big obstacle for not only them but also Barcelona which are their biggest rival for the title this season. We will see which side will handle this situation the best. I expect these two teams to pull away from the rest of the teams in the league many weeks before the final week of the season.
Well , when a team like real madrid left behind ... it means , time to bet huge on them to make a comeback and i always doing that but unfortunately i didnt get that chance earlier today , i must seeing an odds like 3 or so when they winning going from behind . I have once got an odds over 10+ when real madrid still losing at 80' and making a great comeback in the last 10 minutes , so for me nothing surprised though. Everyone knew that Real Madrid would win today. First though, Real Madrid conceded 1 goal. I'm not too surprised because I know Real Madrid will beat them easily. Real Madrid played well in the second half and scored until the end of the game and secured the victory. |

Looked like a practice match for both teams. Pakistan could get new learning from this match and on the other hand, Sri Lanka should just try not to become complacent.
It was a completely one sided match in Sri Lanka's favour. Pakistan's chances of winning the final don't look great to be honest, but this is the T-20 format where unexpected twists happen quite often. Have any of you came across this Naagin Dance. With the recent win against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka have ended its four years wait of Naagin Dance' celebration with the win after sending Bangladesh out of the Asia Cup. It looked like Sri Lanka was waiting for this opportunity since 2018.
Lol. Didn't know anything about this. 4 years wait is crazy. That is some hard-boiled revenge. Again it was just a practice match for both the teams. Both are going to work on their weakness as this dead rubber match hardly decides the Asia cup winner. Pakis still ranks at 3rd when winning the Asia cup so they should aim for big. With this, they might come close to SL in terms of trophies (just little bit) and it's very much possible if their batters clicks.
Also if anyone followed the Nidhahas trophy then I guess they know about Nagin dance and especially DK's innings at the finals because that's where Lankans started giving back to bongs, which was very much needed IMO due to the poor behavior of Ban's team. Sri Lanka's Nagin dance celebration with Bangladesh will last a lifetime. They always make each other angry by performing Nagin dance. Which we see in the Asia Cup. After Bangladesh lost to them, one of the players roasted the Bangladeshi players by performing Nagin dance. I think these are not the characteristics of a civilized cricketer. Because cricket is a decent people's game. |

I don't know if it's true or not, but the rumor circulating is that the match between Crystal Palace vs MU will be postponed until next year. but if the match between MU vs Crystal Palace happens then MU will definitely win. So far, MU is superior to palace (Head to Head), especially now that we have started to find the best strategy for MU, then surely MU will win smoothly.
Manchester United still has the potential to secure points and keep consistency stable After the postponement of the Crystal Palace vs Manchester United match, next Manchester United will host Leeds United in the 8th week of the EPL Manchester United have a chance to get rid of Brighton in the standings if they can win the match against Leeds United. Brighton will struggle because their next opponents are Liverpool and Tottenham. Leeds should be easily to defeated by Manchester United in match 8, as the Red Devils performance in the EPL is getting better, Manchester United already have what they needed in head of sir Ten Hag. You're right Brighton will be difficulty when match versus Liverpool, as the hosts have a lot of time at least 12 days is more than enough to recover, after match v Chelsea. So the chance of getting rid of Brighton is greater for Manchester United in the standings later. In fact, Manchester City is the favorite of the league. Their team players are very fast. Their style of play is quick counter. They have a lot of good players in their team who have the ability to score at any moment. But the rest of the teams are very strong and they have the ability like Manchester United they have the ability to play well. There is also Chelsea, they also play a very quick game. But comparatively I want to put Manchester City ahead. |

-snip- Augsburg did the ecential and scored a goal that wrote 3 points and wender bremen attack was not efficient at all with many wasted opportunities, more than 12 shot during the match without the ability to score a single goal That was actually very unfortunate, why have a lot of shots but can't score a goal. There's a lot of real homework for both teams, especially for Werder Bremen. Not efficient and not accurate for those many shots done by both teams. But here, what makes it quite interesting is that Augsburg actually had only a small chance and small ball possession compared to Werder, but this club could win the match 
According to my estimation in the previous post, the Werder Bremen vs Augsburg match will not produce many goals. I didn't watch this game, but that's my guess. Werder Bremen will be in trouble despite playing at home, as well as Augsburg in dire need of a win to raise their position in the bottom zone of the standings.
That's the fact, actually, the match was not really attractive and challenging from both sides. Each team in fact (although Augsburg could score a goal) still couldn't give their best performance. They mostly still threw any chance that they had. Indeed, football teams need to be more efficient. They fail to give their best. The fans of the team want to see a better game. But I enjoyed the game a lot. But I could not see their best game. I think they will improve their skills and we will see great games. |

There has been a huge decrease in Salah's performance since Mane left the team. This is one of the important factors for Liverpool to perform much better than now. When he plays as always the team also get more positive results. But now things are more difficult for Liverpool to be very productive in scoring goals regularly. They can't defend their opponents well at the same time. Under these conditions it is too difficult for them to have a proper season. Klopp must find a way to make the players happy again.
Liverpool are still mentally good. But we see their game performance dropped drastically. the physical appearance of the players does not seem to be in maximum performance. even in the Champions League Liverpool lost to Napoli. and in the premier league this season Liverpool didn't start well. In contrast to other teams, it is clear where the fault lies. but Liverpool is very difficult to analyze the cause of the decline in performance. But I'm sure it's not about mentality. because so far the Liverpool players have enough experience to maintain the mentality of the team. How come Liverpool are mentally good now? The mental condition of a team is very crucial for winning games and maintaining a good form. Considering the results Liverpool have got in the recent times it is obvious that they need to improve their morale a lot. Now they will have a good amount of time to focus on having a better mental. Because all games this week have been postponed to an unknown date. Klopp must organize a team meeting and talk about this situation seriously before their Ajax game next week. Liverpool need to build more resilience. They are now depressed. They are not playing very well. They need to find their mistakes together and fix them. I believe they will be back to playing well very soon. |

Why was the EPL postponed? I've also seen the postponement on the schedule written now, but haven't explored why the EPL postponement can happen now, even though now it's fun to enjoy every match. And I see that other leagues besides the EPL don't have any written delays so I need to know why only the EPL has been postponed and other leagues have not been postponed.
There were many who loved Queen Elizabeth in the country. There is a state of mourning across the UK right now and people do not want to do it with the fun event. They prefer to grieve out of respect, and that's why most concerts, matches, and the like have been postponed. I don't think it will take long, in a few days life will return to its normal flow Indeed, Queen Elizabeth was a respected person all over the world. His death is expected to be mourned, with many leagues on hold. Hopefully everything will be fine in a few days and the players will be back in shape. |
