Being a new player and surviving in the Spanish team will be tough for Pau if he makes even a small mistake while he is on the team. But I think he will be in Real Madrid if they are eyeing this player. Though I feel for him it is better to play with Manchester United if they are able to buy him.
Madrid with so much changes seems to be in a little distress but I hope the same about them being on the track.
Remember Barcelona's performance to start this season? Very poor performance, almost a broken team. But Koeman has slowly put the team in good shape and now the Barcelona team seems stable enough. Real Madrid's team has undergone a lot of key changes, so it will take some time for the team to stabilize. |

The quarter final draws are:
Peru - Paraguay
Brazil - Chile
Uruguay - Colombia
Argentina - Ecuador
It should be quite easy for Argentina to eliminate Ecuador with their recent performance. They didn't lose any game in the group stage. Messi was performing really great. He got 3 goals, 2 assists in 4 games. I'm expecting him to keep up the good work and help his team end Ecuador also.
I think argentina are in a good condition to advance to the semi finals i do not think they will have problems on the other hand colombia uruguay and paraguay peru are difficult to predict as for brazil i think they will pass considering the though situation chile are in after the loss against paraguay and they showed some poor performance in recent games. I think Argentina is in the safest zone. They are in good form now, the players are playing great. And their opponent Ecuador is not a strong opponent. They have not won a single match so far. They have drawn 3 matches and lost one. I Hope, Argentina will easily win. |

I placed a bet on England Woman's team as England and India were playing, but the problem is that England lost 4 wickets already and they still need 129 runs from 27 how is the India bowlers will they upset them today?.
Well.. for my part I have never placed a bet on the women's game. For me it is even to watch these matches on TV. When compared to the men's game, the quality is much lower. And this gender gap is unique to cricket. I have seen women's football matches, and the excitement and quality is as good as the men's matches. But in cricket, the women's matches look as if some amateurs are playing cricket. The gap in skillset is too huge. BTW, England needs another 113 runs. For them, it will be tough to win this match. In cricket, women's team matches are not competitive. Their gameplay is very slow. In many matches, good teams win by a lot of runs. However, yesterday's match was interesting. Although you guessed it, England can't win. But in the England women's team was able to defeat team India easily. They lost only 5 wickets and able to scored 225 runs. |

When PIG 3 play with each other then its all about printing money that's why they always play 4-5 test match series.
I don't have an issue when the Pig3 organize 5-match series. There is a sizable following for test cricket in these countries and the revenues are not that bad. But that is not the case when Sri Lanka plays against Bangladesh or West Indies plays against South Africa. The fan following will be very low, and the revenues will be negligible. This is why I favor splitting the test teams to two real divisions (not like the 9 team first tier and 3 team second tier that we have now). Each of the divisions should consist of 6 teams each. Test playing teams should be divided into two groups. The first group will have first-tier teams like India, New Zealand, and England. And in the second group, will play a team like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan. And no Test match will be played between any team in Group A or any team in Group B. If Bangladesh will play a test match against a team like India or Newzeland, there will be no competition. |

In fact, the liquidity of Bitcoin was having a huge impact on the Chinese banking system. Moreover, it is not safe for miners to be in the same place, if they are scattered in different parts of the world, this dominance of mining will be reduced and it is safe for both the parties. Personally, I think such a decision by the Chinese government is good for the future of Bitcoin. Many people have questioned the dominance of the Chinese in mining sector.

Czech Republic / Denmark - In this case I have many doubts, who can win the match.  You are right. Czech Republic players are now in form. Winning against them will not be easy for Denmark. However, Denmark is not a weak team, they are also a good enough team. If Christian Eriksen had been in the squad, I would have bet on Denmark's victory. |

The economy will be completely destroyed if the lockdown measures remain in place. In India, the domestic 4-day championship (Ranji Trophy) was last conducted in 2019. The domestic players have seen their salaries declining by anywhere from 60% to 80%. But then, after so many deaths, it will be unwise to restart the tournaments. The only solution is vaccination. But India has completely vaccinated only 4.3% of its population (compared to 48% for the United Kingdom). And for reaching herd immunity, you need to completely vaccinate at least 75%. Until that figure is reached, I don't want India to host any major cricket tournaments. The economy is affected globally and how every government is going to tackle these situation is going to be important, in the US the protest of the people forced them to open everything up but in Europe they are taking a calculated approach so that we do not want to go to a position where everything goes out of control once again and hospitals struggling to take care of everyone. We can look at the countries of Europe in dealing with the coronavirus. They are the most successful. I don't see much news about coronavirus infection in China. I don't understand how they were able to control the situation so quickly. Coronavirus control should not result in the USA, they did not succeed. |

I also doubt that the squad that Roma has now can make it different next season, because Mourinho will need time to adapt. So I still choose Juventus
or Inter who will dominate Serie A next season, especially since both teams are still reinforced by several star players.
Maybe if there is no change in the squad Juve will be the favorites to win. Milan, Atalanta and maybe Inter. Their dominance will remain. If there is the addition of new players I don't think it will change much. But for the Serie A champions I'm guessing Juventus for next season. Their players look better supported by the new coach It is difficult to predict which team will win the Serie A. title. Because the teams here are almost the same quality. There is a lot of competition for the title. Inter Milan, AC Milan, Atalanta, Juventus and Roma are all good enough teams. So it is not possible to predict which team will win the title before the start of the season. |

Roma cant win a title for ages,i dont know the last time Roma won anything at all. Their biggest achivement in the last years was to qualify for the champions league semi final and thats it before that nothing.Juventus must get some good transfers this summer to try and win the title
For Roma, it looks like they are difficult to win if we are look at their current formation. However, if the "magic" of Mourinho still exists, maybe Roma can at least have one trophy. Because, the condition of the Italian clubs is still less than optimal next season, Juventus, Milan, Inter, they still have problems both from changing managers and leaving key players. Only in terms of coaches, Roma and Juve can be considered as clubs that have the potential to win next season with Atalanta. Milan and Inter, I'm not sure about these two Milan clubs. Napoli, i think they are still have potential struggling from the start. If someone were to ask me to chart the top 5 teams for next season, I would put Inter Milan in first place, and Juventus in second place. Juventus did not perform well this season. My guess is that next season they will solve their mistakes. Atalanta will be in third place. In fourth place will be the AC Milan team. And in fifth place will be Roma. |

PSG had a deal 70 M Euro for Hakimi. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1408920299102429184Contract until June 2026. this means Chelsea had undervalued to get Hakimi ($60 M Euro). Inter got profit about $30 M euro. because he bought Hakimi from Madrid with the value of 40 M euro. but, the team has bad finances at the moment, because of that Conte leaves the club. It is not strange if Hakimi finally moved to PSG, because the offer given by PSG to Inter was much higher than Chelsea. It seems that the PSG is very active in hunting for players, maybe because PSG are very serious about getting the Champions League trophy next season. The sale of Hakimi will at least help Inter's financial condition, which is currently in trouble, I'm sure Inter will sell another star player. Because the profits from the sale of Hakimi are still not enough to make Inter financially stable, we'll just have to wait and see who else player will sell by Inter. PSG are really hungry about catching the best players and turning them over from its rivals lol. Imagine PSG splitting its team to 2, both of them will catch the top spots in Ligue 1, gets the Cup and play in advanced stages in Champions League! I do not see the possibility of this happening. PSG's squad is very strong. Despite having such a strong squad, they could not win the Ligue 1 title this season. If they can't win the title next season, I would say they need more experienced coaches instead of buying players at such a high price. |

Even against the reserves of Brazil, already qualified as first, Ecuador will find it difficult to get a positive result. The total goals could be at least three because I thinkg Ecuador will most likely adopt an ultra-defensive attitude to try to stop the Brazilian maneuver. Alfaro will insert five defenders, one of which will be Arreaga, positioned in the center between Hincapie and Arboleda. In attack, Ayrton Preciado, in goal in the Tricolor's last two games, will again play as a pair with Campana.
If Brazil plays second tier players then it is a good chance for Ecuador to target a draw, because if Venezuela loses by Peru then it will be enough for Ecuador to advance to the next phase. But I'm not sure Brazil will play second-tier players in total, because at least Neymar will certainly remain in the starting XI to keep his position on the top scorer list. So yes, Brazil will still win I'm sure. I doubt Brazil will lose points against Ecuador although this game means nothing for them. They will try to rotate the squad and give opportunity to players that played less time, yet this is enough for them to to win comfortably even if Ecuador plays 100% defensively. Ecuador has to wait for Venezuela result, a draw against Peru is possible and beneficial for both of them since Venezuela will survive and Peru will hold the second spot. Ecuador is not a strong team. I don't think Brazil will want to lower their self-esteem by losing to such a team. Brazil have won all their matches. They will definitely want to win against Ecuador and will be the group champion. My guess is that Brazil will win 2-0. |

I am smiling at the performance of the Sri Lankan team. Sri Lanka is An experienced team, I did not expect to perform so badly to them. I thought they would lose, but the England team had to fight hard to win. England set a target of 181 runs in today's match. At the moment, Sri Lanka has scored 71 runs and lost 8 wickets. I think they will lose all the wickets before they score 81 runs. They will be defeated by 100 runs.
England win the series as Sri Lanka are bowled out at only 91 runs. After seeing the current batting display of Sri Lanka, I would say better team win the series. At the same time i'm scared of the present conditions of Sri Lankan team, it's getting embarrassing for Sri Lankan cricket. England deserve it, but one sided series. I am happy because Sri Lanka did not lose by 100 runs. They have been defeated by just 90 runs  . I do not understand the reason for the poor performance of the Sri Lankan team. I think if this team goes to play a series against Afghanistan now, they will lose. Watching the Sri Lankan match is now a waste of time. |

Let us look up to the coming match on this june 22th i hope the Match will be special, because Chelsea have encountered complications trying to sign their top targets this summer despite their Champions League success, They will be something unique this time than previous matches.
If Chelsea want to maintain their prestige next season, they must have a talented striker now. Their forward lineup was not good last season. Yet they have won a few matches for Kante's outstanding performance. Without a good striker next season, they will not be able to perform as expected. |

I agree with the fact that Kohli is not good at winning big cups, but so many are downplaying his contributions because of this one factor. He is an aggressive captain who isn't afraid to express his emotions which isn't a bad thing.
However, I do feel that India needs separate captains for separate formats(ODI: Kohli, T-20: Rohit, Test: Rahane/Kohli).
I agree with you. India now needs separate captains in three formats. Rohit Sharma is an experienced batsman and captain for T20 format, it is proven. Moreover Rahane is experienced enough. He should be given the opportunity to be the captain of the Test format. While Kohli has been successful as a batsman, he has not yet been fully successful as a captain. |

Koeman knows it but he needs time and transfer budget.
Everything does take a long time to get better, just like Jurgen Klopp with Liverpool. He ( Jurgen Klopp) did not immediately become a title winner at that time, he needed time to adapt. I'm sure Barcelona in the hands of Ronald Koeman will be even better. This season Barcelona was a team that was completely devastated. They had no continuity in the performance. They have won against the strongest team, they have lost points against the weaker opponents in the next match. Hopefully next season Barcelona will be more stronger and stable. |

As I understand it, if Bolivia loses today, it will leave the tournament. And this team is already very close to that. In general, it is quite difficult to take matches in the group stage seriously, given the fact that only one team is eliminated This has certain advantages (any weak team has a chance), but there are many more disadvantages. Bolivia didnt stand a chance today. Urugvay won 2-0 but it should have been 7-0. That miss in the 95th minut by Urugvay players is something that i didnt see in all my years of football when watching the match live. The guy missed an empty goal and this is on a national level Yes, the whole game was with a clear Uruguay advantage as expected. And that's good, I'm tired of boring games and incomprehensible results when a clear favorite cannot beat an outsider. But speaking of the odds, I meant the theoretical possibility for Bolivia to reach the playoffs if they win. Uruguay is one of the favorite teams in Copa America. They have a strong squad. But they are failing. They have won only one of the three matches. In the next match they will face Paraguay. Paraguay is a stable team. I doubt if Uruguay can win against them. |

This transfer season, Barcelona is mainly focusing on young players. They are making young strikers and midfielders. Even if Messi, Griezmann, Aguero leaves Barcelona, Barcelona will not face big problems. However, Barcelona's defense was very weak this season. They should have an experienced defender. Experienced defenders should be included in the team without focusing on young defenders.
It is a good transfer strategy for the future, because the key players of Barcelona is old. Messi, Busquet and Pique won't have many seasons left in their career. Hence, Barcelona have to prepare their lives without Messi, Busquet, Pique. Pique and Ramos have touched downside in their career. Ramos already left Real Madrid so how about Pique? You're right, Koeman is arranging the Barcelona team with the future in mind. It takes a long time for young players to become experienced. Young players will become more skilled and experienced if they get a chance to play with experienced players like Messi, Aguero and Pique. With their help, the future Barcelona team will become stronger. |

There will be 3 T20 matches between England and Sri Lanka. England won the first match easily. And I think England will win easily in the remaining two matches. Because, the Sri Lankan team is not very experienced. And, there are not enough talented players in the Sri Lankan team now to resist England’s extraordinary players. So, in the remaining two matches in the T20 format, I will bet on England winning.
The gap between smaller teams such as Sri Lanka and the big 3 teams have increased and there is no chance that Sri Lanka would be able to put up a credible performance against England (even if they are missing some of the big names such as Ben Stokes). However, if Sri Lanka could win at least one match, that will help them with the ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings, and eventually they may not need to play in the qualifying tournament for the next T20 World Cup. At this point, they are ranked #8, which is enough to avoid the qualifiers. Sri Lanka's batting lineup is not stable. In the first match, Sri Lanka lost 7 wickets in 20 overs and scored only 129 runs. It is easy to guess how weak Sri Lanka's batting lineup is. My guess is that at least 160 runs are needed to win against England. At the moment Sri Lanka is weak in both batting and bowling. |
