Barcelona have been in a terrible financial crisis since last season. A few days ago they took a money loan from a bank. From this one can guess how much the financial condition of the club is now. With that loan money, maybe they have taken new players in the team. When the Corona situation becomes normal, the financial problems of the clubs will be solved. |

From a pure betting and gambling perspective Italy Spain is a great match: there are so many stats and data to look for before placing this bet that one could go nuts.
A few hints:
ITA: The Azzurri are unbeaten in their last 32 international matches (27 wins, five draws)
ESP: La Roja leads the tournament with 12 goals
The Italians have scored an average of 2.67 goals over their last 12 games and they could be scoring at least twice over regular times.
Spain's best attack could do the rest so a great bet for this game is over 2.5 goals.
I don't think that statistics on all games without sorting by the importance/strength of the opponent has any value. In fact, this match has every chance of a goalless draw. Both teams have enough skill to defend themselves and no one will risk in the semi-finals for no particular reason. The match is likely to be a draw. Italy's defense is very strong. Defenders of spin are also very experienced. Spain has conceded many goals though. However, they followed the attacking strategy so they conceded too many goals. They don’t look like they will play so aggressively against Italy. Both teams will want to not concede goals.. |

Anyway, I'm now convinced Argentina will be crowned champion something I really do want to happen! I wouldn't be so sure, Brazil may have suffered against peru because peru, being a not very strong team, would play fully in defense, but Brazil can beat argentina because argentina will also play to score a goal and that will be the biggest advantage for brazil have more space to play your game and win the game Argentina has not yet qualified for the final. So there is no need to say these things now. Argentina will play against Colombia today. This team is good enough. If Argentina can score 2 goals against Colombia and not concede any goal then they will be able to beat Brazil in the final. |

The West Indies and Sri Lanka teams have had a very bad time now. There is a major difference in the performance of West Indies and Sri Lanka, the matches between South Africa and West Indies were really close and even though West Indies had big names they lost a couple of close matches but they won against South Africa but on the other hand Sri Lanka is struggling to score runs and the only match that had no result was the only game they did not loose in this series and that too because of the weather condition  . Sri Lanka is beyond redemption now. If we take the list of top-50 players in international cricket, I am sure that there will not be a single player from Sri Lanka in that list. Afghanistan will have players like Rashid Khan and Ireland will have at least Paul Stirling. But Sri Lanka will not be having anyone among the top-50. I think Angelo Mathews was the last player of international quality to represent Sri Lanka, but unfortunately he is also nearing his retirement now (he is 35 years and was not a part of the squad that toured England). I agree with you. The Sri Lankan board has failed to produce enough talented players. When players like Sangakkara and Dilshan Malinka were in the Sri Lankan squad, the board should have made players as their replacements. The board has failed to produce players and now they have to suffer the consequences. Squads like Bangladesh and Afghanistan are much better than Sri Lanka at the moment. |

England defenders who are quite calm and solid in anticipating the opponent's attack are the main factors that make England one of the candidates for this year championship.
Its pretty even between Italy, Spain and England but Denmark could be the dark horse for Euro. Denmark has been great so far in the playoff, 4 goals against Wales and they won against Czech Republic. Czech Republic beat Netherlands so this team is pretty much decent as well. I wont be surprised if somehow Denmark win against England If Denmark can somehow win against England, I think Denmark will be the champions this season. Because, fate is cooperating with them fatally. The other players are playing great despite their main striker Eriksen not being on the team. England is a very strong team. Those who did not concede a goal. If Denmark can beat England, they can beat either team in the final. |

The semi-final match between Brazil and Peru will be held shortly after. I see no reason to bet on Peru. Brazil is in great form, the players are able to score goals. However, Peru managed to score 3 goals against Paraguay in the previous match. Yet today I see no chance of them winning. Unless a miracle happens, Peru will be defeated.

I have a rather contradictory attitude towards Ramos and I perfectly understand why the fans of other teams have such a negative attitude towards him. We can call Ramos a bad person and a rather dirty player as much as we like, but we should still admit that it is difficult to call Ramos a bad player and he coped with his playing duties very well, cementing the defense and scoring important goals. As for the relationship between Perez and Ramos, I would not focus much on the hostility of the club president to the player. Florentino Perez is quite paternal towards Sergio and I would not be surprised if Perez takes Ramos to some position at the club after his career ends. It's just the way things are now.
Maybe Ramos is a bad person. But he is an extraordinary player. He treats the players of the opposing team badly. But have you ever seen him abuse someone on his team? He is ready to do anything to win his team. Although his behavior is bad, it is for his own team. I think you are right. No Barcelona fan likes Ramos. They hate Ramos. But you won't find a Real Madrid fan who doesn't like Ramos. Everyone loves and respects Ramos. Whatever Ramos does on the field, he does to protect the interests of the team. Who ever that doesn't like Ramos is a fan of Barca.I am not a Madrid fan,but Ramos is undoubtedly one of the best defenders in the world.He is rough,and at the same time cool,every great player has a weakness,and every great defender is always fund of taking red cards.Ramos presence alone in a team gives hope to the fans and the team mates.True as you said that he does what he does to defend his team,yes.He is a player that puts in all his effort to make his team emerge victorious There are many Barcelona fans who not only dislike Ramos but also hate Ramos, and there are enough reasons to hate this. No one else has fouled Messi so badly like Ramos. In many matches, he has deliberately fouled. Of course, he is one of the best defenders in the world but I personally dislike him for his intentional fouls. |

It looks like today is not their lucky day. Play has resumed at Bristol, with Sri Lanka struggling at 141/8. Dushmantha Chameera and Dasun Shanaka are at the crease and England is trying really hard to get the remaining two wickets (there is a sense of urgency now, as it is expected that there will be more rain interruptions later). When a mediocre bowler like Tom Curran dismantles the Sri Lankan batting lineup, you can imagine how horribly they have performed in this series. England is missing more than half a dozen of their regular players, and still they will end up with a 3-0 series win. It was their lucky day for Sri Lanka as the match was washed out, with that terrible score they were not going to win either way . So their next series will be against India and the match started this month 13th if i am not wrong and i hope we will have a good contest and hopefully the odds will be good as the odds for England was trash. Hahaha,,, yeah it is a lucky day for Sri Lankan players. I was sure they would lose this match too. And whitewash. They are very lucky because they have not lost all the matches. Bad luck for England. They could have easily scored 167 runs and defeated the Sri Lankan team. |

Ramos was always a bad person who he was always a dirty player that played horrible in the sense that he wasn't afraid of getting carded and he made horrible tackles for years, specially against Barcelona on the big players like messi, he just played with his emotions and angry instead of just being a defender that follows the rules, the years with him and pepe together were one of the worst years to watch Real because they would rather tackle and kick you in the leg instead of defending the ball, hell even if they can tackle the ball they went for the people.
I understand Perez not being fine with him being a dick to him, he is the president and Ramos is just a player, if you as a player do not like the president that pays your salary then go ahead and leave, I think he should not be missed at all.

The win over West Indies will boost the morale of South Africa. I was expecting a relatively easy series win by West Indies, because they are so good in this format. And West Indies had fielded a full strength side - Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Nicholas Pooran, Dwayne Bravo, Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis.etc. Still the Proteas managed to win. After watching the first match, i thought West Indies would win the series even thought it might be close matches because they have a really strong team but they failed to perform as a team during crucial times and and props should be given to the team to compose everything fast and perform well. The performance of West Indies in the first match was very remarkable. In just 15 overs, they scored 161 runs to defeat the South African team. But they did not perform well in other matches after that. The 4th match though they won. Still couldn't play very well. The West Indies and Sri Lanka teams have had a very bad time now. |

Kane want to leave and his performance in Euro is improving in the latest two matches. He scored 3 goals in two matches, not bad at all. If Kane scores more goals and bring the England to the final match or get the title, big clubs will stay in queue to buy him.
Levy will not be able to keep Kane staying in Spurs and it will be a good time after Euro to sell Kane at high cost.
Regarding this , I am afraid that it might become a huge scene if Levy keeps on denying offers like he did the latest offer by City against the wishes of Kane. Surely he still has contract with Spurs but if things keeps on going like this, it will start affecting players morale at one point. The offer by City of 100 m Euro + player wasn't that bad.. maybe a bit more cash might budge their mind? I also am following this probable transfer very closely. Levy seems really decisive about not letting Kane go for an amount which he doesn't want. But €150m is really too much to ask. I wonder whether Manchester City are ready to pay that much also. I hope that they can bring Kane to the team. Harry Kane is in great form now. He is a goal machine. Aguero has left Manchester City to join Barcelona. If Guardiola likes Harry Kane as his replacement, it will be the best choice. Hopefully next season Manchester City will rule the Premier League again. |

I did not expect Uruguay to lose to Colombia. I was betting on Uruguay winning this match. But Uruguay disappointed me and they lost the match. Suarez and Cavani were the only ones to score a penalty kick for Uruguay.
Argentina now has a 2-0 lead in the match between Argentina and Ecuador. What I was guessing has happened. My prediction was that Argentina would win the match 2-0.
Edit :My guess is wrong. Argentina won the match 3-0. Messi scored the third goal on the 90th minute. A great free-kick and a great goal. The great Messi has two assists and one goal.
Messi has played great, while Di Maria is in great form. At the same time Martinez has tried his best to play well. And he has managed to score goals. I expected some better gamplay from Aguero. The next match is against Colombia. A team like Colombia can be easily defeated if all the players in the team are able to play well in their position. Messi proved again, take the victory with two assists and a goal. I'm out of words to describe this Man's greatness! He is free kick master thus Argentina lead the game 3-0 goals. Yeah great performance against Ecuador as a team. Argentina, good luck for the next match, let's win the semi-final and be called to the final with Brazil. Brazil is as yet their greatest danger in this competition. We have seen tremendous performances from Messi in every match of Copa America this season. At the same time, other players of the Argentine team have performed well. If they do such an outstanding performance in the upcoming matches, maybe they will win the title. But expect a better game from Aguero. He has not been able to play well yet. |

So, Denmark was the first team to reach the semifinals of an edition of the European Championships after losing two games in the group stage of the competition.
In Baku, the European dream continues for the Danish national team that overcomes the Czech obstacle and reaches the semifinals (the last time was in 1992), where it will face England (at the Wembley stadium).
Delaney immediately opened the scoring with a great head shot, then at the end of the first half, Dolberg doubled the score on a wonderful assist by Maehle. The Czech Republic scored in the second half with the usual Schick, but after the triple whistle, it's time for Denmark to celebrate and keep dreaming.
Problem is that waking up, England is right before their eyes.
Denmark may be dreaming of a title again this season after 1992. But winning the title will not be easy for them. The opponent in the next match is England. England have not lost a match so far. They have beaten strong opponents like Croatia and Germany. I think Denmark's hopes of winning the title, England will end here |

Why do people think that just because Roma got Mourinho suddenly they are going to be so much better? I mean I am seeing people who think that Roma could actually end up winning the season just because Mourinho is there and that just shocks me a lot. This is the same guy given Spurs last season and got fired because he got so many bad results and Spurs sucked all season.
Why do you think that it will be any different for him in Roma and he will turn things around and make them champions? Not like Roma was awesome before he came in neither, they finished the season at 7th as well, so to take a manager that made spurs a bad team and put him in the 7th of the Serie A league and then expect him to suddenly make that team into a winner? Why do people think that, I believe they are going to be top 10 for sure but even top three will be impossible for them.
I don't understand those people also. He will not just wave a magic wand at Roma and win the Serie A title. He screwed things up big at Tottenham in the last season. The game plan was just crap. It wasn't fitting the characteristic of the team. Maybe people think that he can have a season like he had with Inter in the past. But just because it happened, it doesn't mean that Mourinho will do great with every Italian team. Maybe the chemistry of the team won't be good and there will be a conflict at the team. In the end, it is early to make guesses like this. Let's just see Roma playing in some games in the new season and decide according to their performance. Mourinho is an experienced coach enough that I have no problem accepting it. But I don't think he can win the title with any team. Inter formed strong squads and had no problems with their funds. He was outstanding with the Inter Milan team. Maybe he can improve the Roma team. He can change the position of Roma on the points table. But with Roma's current squad, winning the title is very difficult. |

Good news for Indian Domestic cricket, BCCI announced their schedule for 2021-2022 season.
- Women's One Day League : Sep 21, 2021
- Women's One Day Challenger Trophy : Oct 27, 2021
- Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy : Oct 20, 2021 (Final : Nov 12, 2021)
- Ranji Trophy : Nov 16, 2021 to Feb 19, 2022
- Vijay Hazare Trophy : Febr 23, 2022 to Mar 26, 2022
Total 2127 Matches, which includes every age group (Men and Women) It is a lot of matches and it is good news for the players who were missing out of action for over a year and i assume that they will be paid only when they are playing or does the BCCI or their state board pay them salary on a monthly basis, i have no idea about these details but i know they get paid for playing the match, without any workout i hope there will be many players that are completely out of shape  . You are right. It is very good for the players when the matches are held. Many players were deprived of salary allowances at the time of Corona. Players will receive a minimum match fee if the tournaments resume. Let's see if the Corona epidemic can be overcome and the tournaments resumed. |

The match was almost over and Brazil took a 1-0 lead over Chile. Lucas Paqueta's results in the 46th minute, the statistics of the match are actually only slightly different even though Brazil dominates a bit.
Even though Brazil played 10 men because Gabriel Jesus committed a foul and got a red card in the 48th minute and Brazil still played well and qualified for the semifinals.
Lucas Paqueta's goal was outstanding. But I hoped Brazil would dominate the whole match. But Brazil could not do that. Chile played very well. I would say both teams played the same way. Brazil's players are more experienced so they have been able to score a goal and won the matche. Despite losing Gabriel Jesus Brazil survive the second half with 10 men. A hugely disappointing end to this Copa America for Chile unable to find an equalizer once Brazil went down to 10 men, they mostly lost by the experienced side of Brazil. This Brazil team can easily conquer Copa America. The strongest and most experienced team in the Copa America this season is Brazil. I think Argentina will fight for the title with them. Because Argentina's players are in good form now. Brazil's next opponent is Peru. Brazil won the first match 4-0 against Peru. My guess is that Brazil will go to the final by defeating Peru 2-1. |

If Real Madrid focus on young players now, their title next season is completely uncertain. Because, the new coaches will have them, as well as young inexperienced players in the squad, so it will not be easy to win against strong teams. Looking forward to seeing the strategy of Real's new coach.
You are right. Since their coaches are new, they need experienced players. They can take on young players if they have a long-term plan. Then they have to sacrifice next season's title. And gradually the team needs to build more and more strong. Basically Carlo Ancelotti is not completely new at Real Madrid, Ancelotti in the past has given Real Madrid the UCL and Copa del Rey titles. So I think Ancelotti's return to Madrid is no stranger and that way, at least Ancelotti can correct his past mistakes too. Let's see what changes will occur and I hope Ancelotti can start well like in the past. Ancelotti is called again at Real Madrid because Madrid know how good he was when he was with them,and talking about rebuilding the team,I don't think most changes will be made because all hope is on him to deliver,and win tittles for Madrid starting from this upcoming season.Rebuilding the team will be a long way to go,so I think he will just blend the young players with the experienced ones,buy experienced defenders to fill in the backline position since Ramos and Varane will be leaving to different clubs respectively.with that done,Madrid will contend for tittle next season It was not right to release Ramos and Varane at the same time. Real Madrid could have taken a young defender with Ramos for another season. As a result, Real could easily make a replacement for Ramos. The departure of Ramos and Varane will create a void in their place. Looking forward to seeing what strategy Ancelotti follows. |

If we are to give a player the attribute of been a "good player" it have to be someone who's will do so well in every aspect on the pitch of play. A player who's not good in penalty can't be called a good player.
Hahaha. mate, I can't accept your logic. Can you show me a player who didn't miss a penalty? Everyone missed the penalty. Messi, Ronaldo, and Pele every legendary player missed penalties. Now wouldn’t you call them good players? So there is no good player in the world? |

IMO Big 3 should support small teams such as Scotland-Netherlands-Afghanistan with 1 bilateral series once a while because BIG 3 brings revenue with them specially India. As of now India Play with SL and once a while with Bangladesh to keep them going. England did the same with Ireland and Australia also planning to play with Afghanistan.
Maybe the boards can make a lot of money from these matches. But as a general spectator no one enjoys these matches. The 5 day match ends in 3 or 4 days. In fact, these matches do not make any sense. Boards need to be aware, build more experienced, patient Test players. |
