I don't think Dormund will sign out Haaland, he is one of the talented player they have, and selling him out without a replacement will definitely affect the team performance. Dormund have to strengthen their squad this season, if they want to win the league title, they will also face big teams in the Champion League.

Yeah, I think the only significant profile leaving Dortmund in this transfer window is Sancho.
Haland has been a very productive player in the German league since he arrived and has scored 40 Bundesliga goals in 43 matches in 2020. The interest in Haaland is high, but I don't think it would be a good idea for Dortmund to accept any bids for the striker.


Haaland is an extraordinary player. He is young and very rarely injured. This is the only reason many teams would want to include him in their squad. Moreover he is capable of scoring lots of goals. If he is in a good squad, he will be able to develop himself more efficiently.

I am afraid there is more into in this drama, may be some political angle, which we don't know. 2 years ban for breaching the bio bubble doesn't make sense to me. Having said that Gunathilaka and Mendis are controversial cricketers.

BCCI granted Indian team 15 ish days leave that time so they can't take any action against Pant or any other players.

I would support the SLCB, and would further say that other boards also need to learn from them. For the past few months, I have seen players behaving extremely irresponsibly, causing breaches in the bio-bubble and causing postponement or even cancellation of the matches. They have caused tens of millions of USD in losses to the boards and the TV broadcasters. Is it that hard to stay inside your hotel for a few weeks? I would say that these players were lucky that they didn't got a life ban. Those who refuse to obey the rules (especially during the pandemic period) need to be dealt with strictly, irrespective of whether it is Niroshan Dickwella or Krunal Pandya.
You're not wrong when talking about disciplinary behavior of many players during bio bubble but 2 years ban seems overreaction to me, there must be some kind of other reason as well which didn't come out in the public and we still don't know how Krunal got infected. no one from the BCCI and SLC didn't release any statement.

Players must be punished for breaking the rules of bio bublle. But the two-year ban seems overwhelming to us just because it violates the rules of bio bubble. I think the board has some animosity with the player. Players could only be fined or a six-month ban was enough.

I never imagined that the performance of Pakistan players is so bad. Pakistan collected 134 runs in 18 overs losing only 2 wickets. At the end of 20 overs, they lost 8 wickets and collected only 157 runs. They could not collect 24 runs in the last 24 balls. Even if it was a team like Bangladesh or Afghanistan, they would collect less than 30 runs in the last 4 overs.
Only 23 collected Lossing 6 wickets , only Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan collected more (51+46) runs but others 6 cricketers collected the rest runs . If Rizwan and Azam could played worse, then I am sure Pakistan could lost the match.

Yeah, I agree with you. If Rizwan and Babar had not played well, Pakistan would have lost. The Pakistan team is now completely dependent on these two batsmen. Other batsmen do score occasionally. However, Pakistan's bowlers bowled very well in yesterday's match. If the bowlers did not bowl well, Pakistan would never win. Because the batting lineup of West Indies is very strong.

Bale and Hazard are Perez's faulty passes. Tottenham and Chelsea worked hard to sell these players. You shouldn't expect them to be stable and good games. Peres should try to sell them and buy younger and more promising players.

Bale and Hazard are talented players. Real Madrid made no mistake in bringing them to the team. If their fitness problems could be fixed then we would get proof of their ability. Neymar also has a lot of fitness problems. PSG paid him a lot of high salaries, but Neymar could not play for almost half the season due to injury.
Bale used to be a good player and a good deal for Real Madrid years ago. In the latest seasons, he wasn't top anymore. Now under Ancelotti he has to prove himself again or he will be trashed like what happened to him under Zidane.
For Hazard, personally I find his contract a failure and disaster for Real Madrid regardless of his talent.
Neymar is unstable player yet he can add something to PSG, that doesn't mean that PSG could not find a better substitute than him.

Bale is definitely a talented player. And he has proven his skills many times in the past. I am hopeful that he will play well again under the leadership of Ancelotti. Moreover, no other striker of the team was successful in the previous season except Benzemaa. Ancelotti needs to use Benzema, Bale and Hazard properly this season.

Arsenal completed the signing for Ben White from Brighton for around 50 million dollars! Crazy money for a player of his status but I do think it is an improvement over their other defenders. Manchester United just bought Varane who is double the player of white for a little over 30 million dollars.

When all the clubs are in financial crisis, I could not have imagined that a club like Arsenal would buy a defender for 50m. However, Arsenal should have added any star player for their forward. After all, their entire team was unstable the previous season. The whole team should have been rearranged.

There is much more hope that Ancelotti will be able to fit existing players, such as Hazard and Bale, in a much more effective way, building a more trusting relationship with them.
Yep, Ancelotti has a hard job to build a good relationship with the players and especially with those who have less opportunity to play or even got a loan in the last season. Also, he needs to bring back a good mentality and confidence in playing for such players as Hazard and Bale. These players need more motivation to play again on their best levels.

Hazard and Bale are both world-class players. It is almost impossible to resist them if they are in form. After Bale was injured very quickly, Ancelotti had to keep an eye on the matter. Benzema - Bale-Hazard Real Madrid will be able to give a stable performance if this trio is in form.

"Ben Stokes to miss India series, takes an 'indefinite break from all cricket". Is it a good news for team India? Because Stokes is one of the key players of England. It seems that India will get some advantage if Stokes is not in the team. However, a win against England at home will not be easy for team India.

Real Madrid ”officially announced the extension of the contract with Dani Carvajal until June 30, 2025, securing the agreement, which, according to the publication Marca, came on November 6, 2020.
Real Madrid need star players. Their defense is weak now. They should strengthen the forward or the defensive one. However, they are not taking any steps to make the team stronger. The team coache is now new, there are less experienced players, they don't look like they will be able to finish well next season.
Real Madrid has lost there best Central Defender's Yeah, but i don't think they'll be that poor behind the introduction of David Alaba will be of great help as well to the younger lads getting use to the bigger picture.
The Coach has been here for years bwith them before now, settling a d making he's team gel won't be a bad one either.
Hopefully they perform at a good rate this season.

I don't think so. David Alaba is a good player, I don't disagree with that. But Alaba will not be able to dominate the opponent's players as much as Ramos. Also not only Ramos, Varane also leave Real Madrid. The vacancy of these two experienced defenders cannot be filled by David Alaba.

if Robert Lewandowski will leave bayern munich at some point, there is only one club where he will move to - real madrid Cool
It's true that he is still very productive, if I'm not mistaken last year he made 48 goals in 40 games. He is also still 30 years old, there are still 3-5 more years he can survive there. But reportedly Munich will not sell it to anyone.
In addition, Real Madrid does not seem interested in Lewandowski, their main target, it seems, is Mbaape.
I don't think Bayern Munich is ready to give out Lewandoskii. Despite he age, he is still a very strong and talented player. Winning the golden boot last season with 48 goals. Although, Real Madrid seems not interested in signing him. He have been in Bayern since 2014, and he is one of the key player in their squad.

Bayern Munich will not release Lewandoskii before finding a new talented player. Lewandoski is Bayern Munich's main player and he is Bayern's goal machine. Even though he is older, he is still able to perform exceptionally well. I don't see any reason to sell Bayern Munich's Lewandowski at the moment.

Madrid hope to get him free next season actually it's not a bad idea, it's just that Madrid have had to go through this season with a player crisis
Yep, it is a smart idea, but no guarantee to sign him in the next season. Except, Real Madrid has reached a personal agreement with Mbappe and also PSG management for the possibility of his transfer in the next season. I am sure Real Madrid management has considered everything to sign Mbappe, what I said before probably did by them.
Regarding the possibility of a player crisis this season, I don't think it really deserves to call a "crisis". Real Madrid still has many good players, especially in the attacking line, we should be so worried. There is Benzema, Bale, Hazard, Asensio, and Vinícius. Carlo Ancelotti just needs to optimize their performance with an effective strategy. The real problem is in the defense line, mate. They lose two key players, the strongest CB they have. I don't know if the current defenders are quite ideal to experience this season.
A crisis can be called a situation when a team of the level of Real Madrid cannot win a single title  Wink I am not sure that the arrival of a single player, even such a talented and promising one as Mbappe, can immediately lead Real Madrid to the title. At least, neither the French national team became the European champion, nor Paris Saint-Germain was able to win the Champions League. There is much more hope that Ancelotti will be able to fit existing players, such as Hazard and Bale, in a much more effective way, building a more trusting relationship with them. It's no secret that, for example, Zidane and Bale did not have a human relationship.

Real Madrid have lost a skilled coach like Zidane. They have lost experienced defenders like Ramos and Varane. I don't think it will be profitable for them if they want to strengthen the forward without strengthening the defense. We saw Barcelona last season, despite strong forwards they could not perform well only due to weak defense.

Trading & Gambling are not the same...
Both have their own purposes and needs...
For Gambling time & money doesn't matter, some low-earned people gamble over 18 hours in a day without having any problem.
Gambling isn't a problem until you force it to make problems in your life.


Now come why & when a person becomes a problem gambler
1) wanna become nouveau riche, 50% of problem gamblers want to be rich in a short-cut way.
2) Passed a stressful day and wanna become relax, people often do gamble after doing physical hard work.
3) wanna become social, some people want to be more authoritarian in their neighborhood and gamble frequently to express their ability.
4) Overconfidence & Excitement, overconfidence & excitement are lying behind to become problem gamblers.
5) To forget the coming problems/fault, people do excess gamble to stay away from their Family chaos/needs.
6) Loneliness & monotony, People become problem gamblers when they are frustrated and indifferent about life.

Find out your one and solve one by one...

If you look at the composition of the current squad and the activities of several teams in the transfer market this summer, I prefer Manchester United to be the champion of the English league next season, apart from their fairly consistent game last season, of course, the Sancho factor and several other star players who being recruited this season is one of the factors that Manchester United has a great chance of becoming the EPL champion for the 2021/2022 season.

My prediction for the team that will win the title for the 2021-2022 season.

1. Manchester United
2. Manchester City
3. Liverpool
4. Chelsea


If Harry Kane will joins Manchester City, I hope Manchester City will win the title next season as well. Aguero has left Manchester City, now city needs a replacement of Aguero. I want to put Manchester United in the second place. This team is strong enough. I don't think there is any possibility of Chelsea or Liverpool.

Lol i wasn't expecting this kind of shameful performance from our batters. Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devdutt Padikkal and Nitish Rana are new guys so i wouldn't blame them much, they deserve more chances and they will learn as they gain more experience but Samson is the biggest disappointment in this series. He's considered T-20 specialist but the way he's performing i don't think selectors are going to pick him up next time, now his fans should sit tight and keep their mouth shut for good.
Finally India has reached 81 runs losing 8 wickets, which is truly the best performance. Not only Samson, each and every player is a disappointment. Atleast some should've taken responsibility and given the best. The weakest batting line-up has made the score and Sri Lanka bowlers need to be appreciated for their brilliant bowling. It is really disappointing, because none would've expected such a performance on a decider match.

The Indian batsmen have batted very poorly, before that I would like to say that the Sri Lankan bowlers have bowled brilliantly. Many days after the Sri Lankan team, we have seen such extraordinary bowling. This is India's second-tier team. But the team has many talented and experienced players. Yet such a bad performance is not expected from them. The batsmen of the team have all lost form together.

Indian bowlers are bowling well. The Sri Lankans managed just 37 runs in 8.4 overs. They lost 2 wickets, Rahul Chahar gave only 3 runs in 2 overs and took 2 wickets. I don't like such a bowling pitch for T20 matches. If the batting is a helpful pitch, the general spectators will enjoy the match.

The match between Pakistan and West Indies is now delayed due to rain. Pakistan's decision to bowl was right. Because West Indies batsmenera is very skilled. I think if Pakisthan are given a target of 160/170 , then the West Indies will easily win the match.
The match against Pakistan is delayed. Let's enjoy the match between India and Sri Lanka. India scored 60 runs in 10 overs by losing 1 wicket.
Interesting! It can't be consider as a T20 game now. The match reduced to 9 overs for the delayed start. I thought West Indies will score above 100 runs. But they have scored 85 runs from 9 overs. It's hard to keep any team ahead in this short over match. On the other side, Sri Lanka won the match by 4 wickets against India. Last T20 match will determine this series winner.

West Indies collected only 85 runs in 9 overs. The expectation of collecting at least 100 runs from them, because they have a lot of aggressive and hitter batsmen in their team. Is 85 runs enough to win against Pakistan's batting lineup? I don’t think that’s enough. If the wickets of Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman cannot be taken very fast then West Indies will undoubtedly lose today's match.

Two T20 matches between India vs Sri Lanka and Pakistan vs West Indies will be played today. The match between Pakistan and West Indies seems unpredictable to me. The West Indies have always performed well in the T20 format, but Pakistan also has a lot of hard-hitter batsmen. Pakistan did well in the T20 match against Australia.

In another match, I think India will still win against Sri Lanka today. India had lost the previous ODI match. They will not make any mistake in today's match and will win the match.

After winning the toss Pakistan has decided to bowl first. In my opinion it is good decision. What made Pakistani team think they will be able to chase successfully. I guess they are confident that their bowlers will be able to restrict West Indies batsmen and their batsmen will be able to chase an easy target.

This is really bad then,because they don't consider the feelings of their fans.Letting their star player go every season will be so annoying to those that don't understand that it's a business they have been doing for years now,and it is the reasons why they hardly win anything in the league..

could be bad, but their is also a fact that Bayern is too strong to beat, and Dortmund is always within top3 teams, with third team that accompanying Bayern and Dortmund constantly changing, since they are trying to beat Bayern, and could fight for year or two, but than eventually slide down to other half of the table, or Second league, just look at top teams that were trying to buy players and beat Bayern, they are always down - Schalke, Wolfsburg (get one title in the process), Stuttgart (won one title, but now in Second league), Werder (won one title, but now in Second league)

and Dortmund won three titles in last 20 years, and they are always within top, so, good tactics when you have one pre-dominant team (Bayern)
there must be at least two or three top teams in the championship to compete. competition makes you stronger and allows you to fight for international cups. Look at England. They were able to create competition in the Premier League and this made English clubs dominant in the Champions League and in the Europa League. And now they have no financial problems, unlike other teams. and can now buy good players at low prices.

Premier League clubs are much richer than Bundesliga clubs. So there is more competition in the Premier League. There are many teams who are able to win the title. In the Bundesliga, on the other hand, every year we see the dominance of Bayern Munich. Bayern leads by more points than any other team.

Pandya brothers love mingling to find a suitable host. Haardik pandya has already confessed on national television. Kunal was doing the same and got infected. I cannot prove it, just speculating.

Whatever may be the reason but BCCI needs to investigate and punish those responsible. It seems some players are least bothered about the bio bubble and the virus. BTW, I asume all players were vaccinated before this series was decided. I assume because all of them represent indian and belong to the elite class.

Krunal got infected and no one else in the bio-bubble has tested positive for COVID. So it is clear what happened there. Since they got vaccinated (probably ahead of their rightful turn), these guys got overconfident. But they forgot the fact that even the best vaccines are only around 95% effective. And in case of Covishield, the efficacy is only around 70%. Being vaccinated doesn't mean that they can just roam around without any protection. I am curious about the actions that BCCI is about to take.


Players and the people of Managmonet who have broken the rules of Bio Bubble and have not complied with the rules of hygiene still need to be punished severely. Boards spend a lot of extra money to ensure players' bio bubbles. Even then, if the players do not follow the rules, it is really frustrating.
