Both Hoffenheim and Hertha Berlin are still in risk of dropping into the relegation zone if they do not get more points to climb up the table and it will surely be an intense match between these two teams today. The odds payout for Hoffenheim to win the match in full time against Hertha Berlin is only @1.65, I think the chances for Hoffenheim to beat Hertha Berlin should be quite high judging from the odds payout offered by the bookmakers.

Napoli will face Inter and Lazio in November then ATA and Milan in December. Verona and Sassuolo ones aren't easy too but what will make things different is when Napoli win vs them and get a safety distance for a while, it would be quite interesting then

The only strong country in Bangladesh is at home. There is no other team against Bangladesh in Dhaka Mirpur but Bangladesh is not so strong on any pitch outside the country. In this World Cup, Bangladesh will go to the lowest level and there will be no other team below them. Even Bangladesh will not be able to play with normal teams in this World Cup.

Remember, it is not just about being able to pay, it is also about being able to stay under salary cap. Haaland will obviously make the amount of money superstars are making right now. Even Ronaldo at his age is still making 20+ million pounds every year, that is mainly because whichever team he goes to will sell jerseys of him enough to pay it back and then some, but at the same time Haaland is not really unknown neither anymore.
This is why I believe that there is a good chance Haaland could ask 20-30 even as high as 40 maybe, that is probably his second contract on his team, but 20-30 range is definitely something he may ask and he may get. With the salary cap situation, and if they also get Mbappe, then getting Haaland on top of it will be near impossible for them.
Just two players who will cover maybe 30% of the salary cap, then with 70% you need 9 others for starters, and then at least another 8-9 players as well, that means 20 or more players for the other 70%, which is only 3-4% for each player, not going to be something simple to pull off.

I don't know who will replace Koeman especially because of financial problems at Barcelona but definitely new coach may give some impulse for the team. as you see other leading teams also lose points and today's game of Real Madrid also didn't look good.

LOL.. Scotland is off to a really shitty start against Namibia. Ruben Trumpelmann bowled a total of 4 legal deliveries (and two wides) and three of the Scotland batsmen are back in pavilion. Looks like Scotland will record another two digit total today. Never expected such pathetic performance from a team that won all three of their qualifier matches (including one against Bangladesh). And these matches are very important for them. A win means additional funding of $40,000 from the ICC. 

Milan took the lead, thanks to Giroud's goal. Torino wasn't an easy opponent and Milan had hard times but they managed to get the win here.

Going by the match let's forget where the match was played be it camp Nou or where ever Barcelona gave in their best. It was just quite unfortunate the lost in their home but their game wasn't poor at all. All Barcelona needs from their fans right now is their support. From their few matches personally I have seen lots of improvement compared to how it was when the season began. A little more patience is all we need

A completely unsuitable result for the defending champion West Indies. The team lost for the second consecutive time in the ICC Twenty20 World Cup. These UAE patches are making West Indies' season worse! It's sad to see teams like West Indies struggle to score and win a T20 match.

Do they still have a chance? As there are only three games left, and their net run rate is also poor, this seems impossible. There is no hope unless something extraordinary happens. Disappointed, yet still confident of their abilities.

Let's say the Sheriff lost to Real Madrid and a draw with Inter Milan is also an advantage for the Sheriff who will qualify but will they be able to hold the top team in Group D at least there is a draw from the two matches?
I said Real Madrid can qualify but will still try for the Italian team who are demanding to win twice otherwise there will be no chance, maybe move to the Europa League.
But I wonder if Inter Milan can be consistent for this difficult game?

What have I done to Manchester United? Manchester United losing 4:0 in the first half at our own home to our greatest rival. Paul Pogba receives a red card. Ronaldo a yellow card. Could it have been any worse? I couldn't sleep last night. I wet my pillow with tears last night.

To be honest, yesterday was a humiliation. ManU had no chance and played like a school team against professionals. No wonder that many fans left the stadium half an hour before the end of the game. A team with this quality should never go down like this, especially if you have such demands. I still say that ManU is not my favorite in the league or in international competition. Even a change of coach, which will come soon, will not change anything for this season in my opinion.

In such situations, it is considered that it is easier to dismiss the head coach of the team than to change the players of the team. And then the new head coach of the team is engaged in recruiting the team for his vision of the game and decides which player he needs and which one does not. For all its shortcomings and not the most confident results, Manchester United has a fairly high-quality squad.

For me , the game of this weekend in Bundesliga was without any doubt Koln - Leverkusen as both teams went on each other and after 1st half where Leverkusen dominated , it came the 2nd half and came along for Koln who managed to score twice and each them had 2 great chances to score their 3rd goal but the draw was a well deserved for both of them.

So far Youri Tielemans has played a fairly important role for Leicester United and if they lose Youri Tielemans it will certainly disturb the balance of their midfield, especially so far Youri Tielemans performances have been quite consistent in assisting the Leicester City attack and he often scores important goals for  leicester city victory  so far. Although now his contract with Leicester still has 2 seasons left, but Leicester must continue to maintain it with a new contract  if they don't want to lose Youri Tielemans, especially since Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona really want to sign Youri Tielemans in the transfer market later.

Galatasaray were one of the impressive teams of the week. They defeated Lokomotiv Moscow by 1-0. But the most attracting thing about them was their really great performance. I saw the old spirit of Galatasaray in them in the match. People can remember easily how much good they were playing when they had stars like Drogba and Sneijder. In this game, their goal was also marvelous. They definitely deserved to win. And they deserve to be the leader of their group also for now.

Qualifying just finished at the Aramco track in Austin.
Red bull took 1st and 3rd with Hamilton in the middle. So Verstappen has pole position for tomorrows race as boltz had predicted above.
The track will more than likely stay dry for it so we shouldn't expect any out of the ordinary conditions for the drivers to contend with Sunday afternoon.

It's 171 for 4. Bangladesh was able to provide the target of 172 runs. Isn’t that enough for them to win? The bowlers have played a key role in Bangladesh's past matches. The bowlers helped to win the match by bowling brilliantly. If the bowler continues to bowl like in the previous matches, then Bangladesh will definitely win. After watching the batting of South Africa and the West Indies yesterday, I did not think that Bangladesh would be able to collect such a big one by batting first. Mushfiqur and opener Naim's batting was outstanding.
