^^^^ Not accurate.
According to ESPN Cricinfo, ECB cancelled the tour as a result of "Covid bubble fatigue". Security reasons are not mentioned in the statement from the ECB. For the PCB this is very disappointing. And Ramiz Raja (PCB chairman) has reacted very strongly to the cancellation, pointing out that since the start of the pandemic Pakistan has toured England two times, and New Zealand/West Indies once each. He claims that the "western bloc" is united in its stance against Pakistan. Anyway, good to see that he's not blaming the BCCI now.
I have seen in the news of several news channels that Pakistan has canceled the series due to ECB security issues. I understood which was true news and which was a rumor. But as far as I know, the coronavirus situation in Pakistan is now stable. Canceling the series for coronavirus does not seem reasonable. |

The match between Barcelona and Granada has just started. Barcelona conceded a goal just 2 minutes into the match. The Granda team has not been able to win a single match. They have scored only 2 goals and conceded 7 goals in 4 matches. They managed to score a goal at the beginning of the match against Barcelona. Now they will play completely defensive. It will be very difficult for Barcelona to score now.
On the contrary, Barcelona did score even though Granada took the defensive path. Its painful to watch Barcelona play this bad after they've been one of the best teams in the La liga and Europe. When Barcelona was still at their best, they would do a come back in games like this to smash Granada by at least 3 - 1 despite conceding early in the game. Currently at 7th place is not too bad but they need to put more effort moving forward. No team goes far with performances like this. Barcelona's performance is still horrible. They do not even know what they are doing. These are the Koeman effect. We have seen such defensive gameplay in the previous season as well. Barcelona had a lot of good strikers in the previous season. Yet they played defensively. And the same strategy they are applying this season as well. They play defensively against the weakest teams like Granda! Koeman should change his strategy or leave his job in Barcelona. Such a bad performance with a strong team is never desirable. |

I'd bet on Joshua. It not going to be an easy win because Usyk has his way of drawing strength as the fight persist. I know Usyk is one of the best, if he manages to beat Joshua even if he doesn't go on to beat Fury, I'll duff my hat to him.
I'm counting on Joshua to beat Usyk because I really wanted to see him fight with Fury for a unification title and that would be no doubt a fight of the year in the heavyweight division. If Usyk finds some way to gain victory with this upcoming fight, then that would be a great prestige for him for beating one of the best heavyweights in the world but I doubt it would be an easy task for him. Defeating Usyk will be a tough challenge for Joshua but not an impossible one. I agree with you on the part that if Joshua wins it and he plays Tyson Fury, this could be one of the best matches so far. But first, he has to defeat Usyk. Usyk is very good with his strength and I feel like if the fight goes on for a long time, it will only get harder for Joshua. He needs to end the match fast and quick. Otherwise, Usyk will get the better of him and punish him badly. |

Very bad start for barcelona not to mention granada team is in need for the three points since they want their firs win and with the starting players coman choose it will be difficult for them to score coutinho is not playing regulary and the young player demir not playing much depay will find himself in a difficult situation. Now the game has been running for almost 40 minutes, and so far it looks like barcelona is still very difficult to penetrate the granada defense, I think the goal in the second minute created by duarte made the barcelona players feel a bit of shock, even though the game continued to be dominated by barcelona but the forwards barcelona can only create a few kicks and until now there has not been a single kick that can really harm the granada goal. look at the statistics of ball possession. Barcelona 79% and Granada is only 21%. But the funniest thing is, Barcelona has only 2 shots with 79% ball possession. Granada, on the other hand, has 3 shots. What is the benefit of keeping the ball in possession unless they can't be made any attack? There is no point in having such bad gameplay against a weak team. If Barcelona is afraid to attack against Granada, how will they win against strong teams? |

Napoli should be able to destroy their opponent Udinese tonight. Napoli are the only team that won all of their games so far. And there is no reason for them not to maintain this streak by this game. Napoli have a big dominance against Udinese also as they won their last 4 head-to-head games and got a draw also. Udinese started the season well but I don't think that they have a chance in this game.
Udinese started the season well because they faced Spezia and Venezia which are weak. Their draw vs Juve was the only thing positive so far but we all know how instable Juve is right now... Napoli odds are quite good @1.8 vs +4 for Udinese. Was looking for a lower one. It's not as easy as we think Napoli cannot win easily against Udinese at home both teams are on fire especially Udinese they have a good record hard to beat at home Especially for Napoli, it's a bit of a moral burden because of the draw in the last UCL game that's why I'm not so sure Napoli can win. My prediction is at least 3 goals in this match and both teams will score. Udinese's performance this season is very good. They have won 2 of 3 matches and drawn one. Today's match is their home match. Although Napoli is a strong team, it will not be easy for Napoli to beat Udinese in their own field. Yet Napoli is an experienced team. They will try their best to win. |

CSK lost 5 wickets in 18 overs and scored only 117 runs. Whether they can win depends on how they do in the last 2 overs. Collecting less than 140 runs will be really difficult for CSK to win this match on this pitch. Raturaj Gaikwat is unbeaten on 67 runs. Bravo is now at the crease. If they will collect 150 runs I won't be surprised.
Well, I got surprise from CSK! Didn't thought they will score above 150 runs. It was my bad to be tempted and place a bet on Mumbai while Chennai was struggling to score. Ruturaj Gaikwad batted very well today. Bravo was extraordinary with his batting and bowling. CSK scored 39 runs in last two overs. And the required run was also 39 for Mumbai in last two overs. But they don't had any batsman to hit boundaries like Chennai. Mate, I watched CSK bat till 17.5 overs, then I had to go out of the house for personal work. CSK scored 111 runs in 17.5 overs. I was completely shocked when I came back home and saw Chennai’s collection on the scoreboard. They collected 45 runs in the last 13 balls. I think it is the main turning point of the match. If they had collected less than 150, Mumbai might have won the match. |

Is anyone enjoying the match between Manchester United vs West Ham? After suffering an unexpected defeat against the Young Boys in the previous match, they should have changed the match strategy today. West Ham is a strong team. They have yet to lose any Premier League's match. However, West Ham is now 1-0 up. I expected to see at least 2 goals from both teams in this match.
I watched the match. The match is now a 1-1 draw. This is Ronaldo's third match in the Red Devils' jersey. And CR7 managed to score in all three matches. 45 minutes have passed. Now it is half time break. Manchester United will be able to win this match. Manchester United are able to hold more of the ball and they are attacking a lot. We will see more goals in the second half. |

The Manchester City v Southampton match now has a half time break. Manchester City is not performing very well. They could not make a single on-target shot in 45 minutes. Despite having such a strong forward lineup, I did not expect such a poor performance. Southampton is not the strong opponent. Manchester City should win at least 3-1 against them.
In the other match, Liverpool managed to score a goal against Crystal Palace

Manchester City have a home game against Southampton tomorrow. Manchester City are doing awesome lately and they won their last game against Leipzig with a huge score like 6-3 too. And Southampton are going the opposite way compared to them. They haven't won any game so far in the league. And City are dominating the head-to-heads. As a result, I expect City to tear them apart by scoring at least 4 goals.
Southampton won't be able to withstand Manchester City. Their squad is not strong enough to win against City. Manchester City is on the 5th place in the standings, and need more points to slide up the table. The match will be interesting as Southampton won't also want to lose the match. I think City will score 3 to 4 goals. I think this match will be one-sided, we will not watch any interesting match. No important Manchester City player is injured now. Manchester City will play this match with full force and will not think of anything as an option to win. Because, their goal now is to occupy the top spot in the points table. Earlier, when Manchester City played at home against Southampton, City beat Southampton 5-2. I hope both teams will score a lot of goals in today's match as well. |

Should be easy for Arsenal get three points again when faced with Burnley because Arsenal most favorite to win than Burnley only success get draw with Leeds United. Arsenal have success got three points from Norwich City although only success make one goal, but they will be easy how to defeat burnley. Maybe if Arsenal failed to defeat Burnley the future of Mikel Arteta become one question, keep he stays for Arsenal or will failure and change by other coach. I hope have surprise give by Burnley for Arsenal and make them most shock on Primer league with bad result every year.
Arsenal is definitely the favorite against Burnley. The weakest team in the Premier League is Burnley. If Arsenal can't score 3 points against them either, I think they should sack coach Arteta before they play Tottenham. We shouldn't see Arsenal in the top 10 this season if they don't fire Arteta. |

I hope arsenal can also win the match, because three defeats in the early league matches have made arsenal lose its identity as one of the big teams in the English league, I think whatever happens in that match arsenal management must immediately evaluate Arteta performance so far, To be honest, as an Arsenal fan, I saw that during Arteta tenure, Arsenal did not improve at all compared to Arsene Wenger  . I hope so too. But their performance against Norwich city was not convincing enough to compete for anything or even win more league game. Arsenal has lost their identity after Arsene Wenger left the club. The recruitment department has been poor in transfer. They don't even play like a big team no more. This whole Antonio Conte replacement saga is just annoying in the sense of them, the board assessing Arteta's performance before they can hire him. Can't they see how crazy the team are performing. This Arsenal team need to show some metal against Burnley tomorrow, or else they will get bullied to am small margin defeat. Started the season with 3 defeats in a row is indeed a bad start, moreover, Arsenal has spent 165 Million Euros to sign new players. However, they just got their first win in the Premier League, even though it was only a narrow win with a score of 1-0 but this win means a lot to Arsenal. A team with a great history like Arsenal should be able to recover from their slump because they still have good players to rely on. For that Arteta has to work even harder. If Arteta can't fulfill the task, it means that the one who made Arsenal slump all this time was him. I don't think Arsenal's team is too weak. Good enough team. But I did not like their management and coaches. He spent 165m to get new players on the team. Other teams have spent less money but they got more experienced players. On the other hand, Arsenal is not performing well. The coach should have adopted a new strategy. But we didn’t see anything fancy from the coach. I think Arteta will lose her job very quickly. |

West Ham played well yesterday but I expected more from Dinamo though. We always seem to give away cheap goals in European games, yesterday was no exception.
It's a shame that the first game was WH at home, it's always easier to play against the favorite later on when they already secured qualification.
For passing the group the games against Rapid and Genk will be the ones that count anyway so no drama yet - but Dinamo will have to play better than they did last night.
Don’t think the West Ham team is weak. My bet on this match yesterday was for West Ham's wins. And West Ham has been able to win. West Ham's Premier League performance is good enough. So in this match, I bet they would win. Dinamo Zagreb, on the other hand, performs very well against a weaker team but loses most matches when the opponent is strong. |

Inter vs Real Madrid match was really interesting even though it ended up with only one goal. Inter simply dominated the first half but weren't able to score even one goal. Interestingly, things went the opposite way in the second half. Inter were struggling but Real Madrid were the much better side. And with the young right winger Rodrygo's late goal, Real Madrid managed to win by 1-0.
Inter Milan and Real Madrid are both strong teams. We ordinary spectators expect a lot of goals from such matches. But the match ended with just one goal. My hope was that both teams would score goals. I thought the match would be a 1-1 draw. But Inter Milan could not score any goal. Actually, I checked their head-to-heads now and saw that Real Madrid won here by 2-0 in the last season of the Champions League. It turns out to be a not very interesting result then.  But the match in Real Madrid's stadium can be much more delightful. Their last match there ended up with Real Madrid's 3-2 victory. Maybe we can see a similar result again. Inter Milan is a strong team though. But Real Madrid's luck against them is always good. In the last 5 meetings, Real Madrid has won 4 matches. The Inter Milan team got its last win against Real Madrid in 2014. Milan has lost all their subsequent matches. I think Real Madrid will win the home match too. Because Real Madrid is always the strongest team in the home match. |

Two Italian teams, Inter Milan and AC Milan meet strong teams today, both of them are in a less than optimal position in the UCL, for Inter Milan, they are still in the process of adapting to a new coach, while for AC Milan, they will face Liverpool when their performance currently quite well after their last few games of the season getting a win. AC Milan is in the same condition, but this will be a game that requires quite a lot of mentality for the AC Milan players, because this is their first match after missing the UCL in recent seasons. maslum, you are right. This is AC Milan's first match in the Champions League after a long absence. I doubt AC Milan will be able to win the game against Liverpool today because Liverpool have performed quite well in the UCL in recent seasons. I think Liverpool will win, but that doesn't mean AC Milan lose their chances. If Ibra plays, I will be happy if he scores. Liverpool 3 vs 2 AC Milan or maybe draw 1-1, that's my prediction. Liverpool is an experienced team in the Champions League. And they are strong this season. On the other hand, I have doubts about just how strong the AC Milan team is. They still rely on Ibra for goals. However, they have Giroud in their team now. He is a very experienced player. If both Ibra and Giroud play well today, Liverpool will not be able to beat Milan. |

Roma are maintaining their great performance now. They managed to defeat a really tough opponent which was Sassuolo by 2-1. But it was a really competitive match and Roma found the winning goal in the last minutes. They have made a 3-win streak now and they are the leader in the league also. Mourinho is still doing good even against a tougher opponent. I can't wait to see them against teams like Inter, Milan and Juventus also.
Things are beauty for Roma and Mourinho so far. They have big wins and even the tough win against Sassuolo, they have won 3 all matches in Serie A and are on top 3 of the table. In the match with Sassuolo, Mourinho shows that he is ready to take risk if he wants to win match. Did it happen just because it is the 1000th match of Mourinho? Will he repeat it in other matches? Roma is very attractive team in Serie A now. Roma have started the season very well. However, it is not yet possible to estimate how strong they are to fight for the title. Because they have not faced any strong team yet. Still, the team looks stable enough. Although they did not win the title, they seem to have the qualifications to be in the top 3 teams in the points table. |

One of the most illogical matches I've seen. An absurd removal in a harmless situation broke the whole game and Manchester lost. I think Bissaka should think carefully about his decision-making, in that situation there was no need for such a dangerous game. Bissaka shouldn't have played so much aggressively. Manchester United was leading 1-0. The whole outcome of the match could have been different if he had not fouled and got a red card. For a small mistake, Manchester had to concede defeat in such a bad way. As for the Sevilla - Salzburg match, despite the fact that Sevilla was able to recoup, Salzburg also had a good chance of winning. The penalty extravaganza also delighted me.
Salzburg missed two penalties. The match they should have won. Yet I played the bull Salzburg well enough. Sevilla is not a weak team. The performance of Salzburg against them is commendable. |

What a win!!!!! whhhhaaaat an excelllleeeeeelent match!!!! I can't believe a team like Manchester United lost to the Young Boys. Looks like I'm still dreaming. Lots of gamblers have lost bets today. Even I lost the bet today. Yet I am happy because I got a chance to enjoy a great match. But, Today is a nightmare for Red Devils fans.

The start of the Serie A season was a very bad start for Juventus. What's more, they were unable to play Federico Chiesa & Juan Cuadrado in the following matches due to injury. We can only hope that Massimiliano Allegri can motivate his players, and also that the players will be motivated by playing at home. Juventus next match is against Malmo at Eleda Stadium, Sweden. Maybe before they will win against AC Milan, they will first get their first win of the season against Malmo later  Hopefully they get their first win of the season against Malmo FF. But the Juventus team is now a completely ruined team. Their overall team needs improvement. They are not stable in forward, midfield and defense. After a poor performance in 3 matches, the players are definitely a bit weak mentally. Now if coach Allegri can't guide the players properly, I don't see any chance of improvement from Juventus' current situation. One draw and two defeats in a row in Serie A, shows that Juventus are currently in very bad shape and they now have to be willing to be in the last 16 of the table, I think Allegri should be able to win the Malmo game to be able to lift the mentality of their players now , but I think it will be a tough game, because at the moment Malmo's performance is quite positive in their league and of course this is something Juventus have to watch out for. If Juventus can steal the full three points against Malmo then it will be very useful for Juventus before facing AC Milan. Malmo FF is showing very good performance in their league, the players are mentally cheerful. I don't think they have the mentality to win against Juventus. It is a great achievement for them that they have qualified to play in the Champions League. They will play the match to gain experience. And as far as I'm concerned they'll play defensive today. They will try to draw this match. Moreover, as Juventus are now, they will not be able to score if Malmo plays fully defensive. |
