Therefore, Mbappe's transfer must be realized by Real Madrid and are they not tired of continuing to make comeback wins in every match? I think everyone needs something more convincing when winning and it doesn't have to be all about making a comeback at the last minute. It will just drain all the players' energy and I know they can do it with the current squad but that's not good for the players in the long term.
I don't know what is in Real Madrid's mind that they haven't recruited Mbappe to be their main striker because the strikers that Real Madrid have are not very productive and only make comebacks at the last minute. If they fail to do so, they could suffer defeat, Anceloti is too confident in current players so they haven't decided to recruit Mbappé, we know the price of this striker is quite expensive if you want to bring him to the team, but I don't think this is a big problem because Real Madrid has stable finances and can afford to buy Mbappé, but it seems like Anceloti is wants to wait for the striker to become a free transfer at the end of this season so he doesn't have to spend a lot of money to buy him.
There hasn't been any progress so far, whether Mbappe leaves PSG or not, Madrid will likely maintain their interest until the end of the season. As of now, there are no developments from either the player or the club, so this 25-year-old forward is heading towards free agency. While Madrid's manager, Ancelotti, seems to indicate that they can continue without him, it depends on the current team's ability, and relying on last-minute comebacks might not be sustainable. This approach may not last long, and Madrid might shift their focus to consistent results with dominant gameplay from start to end. It appears that there might be no deal until Mbappe becomes a free agent.

Given his extended bowling spells, it was just a matter of time before Ravindra Jadeja got injured. Let's not forget the fact that he's already 35 years old. I would say the same thing about Ravichandran Ashwin as well, as he is 37 now. Jadeja bowled a total of 52 overs in the first test, followed by Ashwin at 50 overs. Axar and the seamers were underutilized by India. And it would be better if India goes to the second test with just one pace bowler. Mohammed Siraj bowled a total of 11 overs in the first test. What is the point in including him to the playing XI?

Muhammad Siraj bowled 4 overs in first innings and 7 in second innings. He is main pace bowler but wasn't given enough chance to bowl in the match. The other fast bowler was Bumrah, who bowled 8 overs in first innings and 16 in second innings. Indian scored 436 runs in first innings and there batting collapsed in second innings due to majestic bowling spell from Tom Hartley who picked 7 wickets. important 12 points for England as this test was part of ICC World Test Championship.


Here, Bumrah collected a total of six wickets in two matches. Bumrah gave a very good bowling performance but basically the Indian team was very strong in the first innings, due to the good batting performance they quickly scored more runs in the period. But the Indian team began to collapse under England's bowling Tom Hartley as he collected a total of nine wickets in the two matches, including 2 wickets in the first innings and 7 wickets in the second innings. This is where I think second innings wickets are the most important, England can win because of more wickets in the second innings.

9 wickets in the match is a great achievement, and hopefully, there will be more to come! Tom Hartley took 7 wickets in the second innings, leading to a remarkable victory to go 1-0 up in the five-match series. This win is as good as any I've seen in my lifetime. Pope's innings is right up there with the best too. After the 1st innings thrashing, he did a brilliant turnaround to win the game for his team. Pope and Hartley deserve all the praise. This has to be one of England’s greatest Test wins! The competition is on.

Duranta Dhaka vs Khulna Tigers

The match between Duranta Dhaka vs Khulna Tigers has just started. Dhaka captain won the toss and decided to bat. Dhaka collected 4 runs in 2 overs. Dhaka's two openers Naim and Aiub are batting very carefully.

The Dhaka team was badly defeated in the last match against Rangpur. Rangpur team set a huge target of 184 runs. Dhaka lost the match by a big margin of 79 runs. And so it is very important for Dhaka to win today's match. Dhaka is now sixth in the points table. The team has lost two out of three matches.
Dhaka batsman are not working hard and struggle and can not make run. Their batsmen did not toil and struggle and did not score runs and gave a target of 130.  This is a very easy target which can be complete in 17 overs.  Had their batsmen work hard and struggle and given a target of 170 they might have been on the verge of victory.  But now their bowlers have to work hard and struggle to get wickets and win the match. But I am sure that they will lose today match. But at the end we see the result who wins and who loses.The entire team is play on the Dhaka bowlers if they do not work hard and struggle they will be out of points everywhere.
Khulna Tigers convincingly defeated Durdanto Dhaka by 10 wickets with 32 balls remaining. This tells the whole story of the match—an emphatic performance that leaves no doubt about their supremacy. Today's game unfolded with twists and turns! Dhaka's opening pair got off to a good start, but suddenly wickets started falling rapidly, and their innings stopped at just 130 runs. Dhaka lost control of the game at that stage, while Khulna dominated both in bowling and batting.

Enrique knows that he must manage the team well, get good results to save his job but between knowing the task and making the task done well is very big difference.

He is an experienced coach by managing Barcelona, Spain and achieving success with them so they are experienced enough to deal with pressure and big expectation on his management. Even in PSG, he got very big problems and criticism in early weeks of season when PSG got some bad results. With time, he managed to improve the team performance and help PSG to show their domination in Ligue 1 again. This draw against Brest is bad but won't be an ending for his job in PSG.

I agree with you that PSG must improve many more things if they want to go far in Champions League.
PSG losses three points against Brest last night and reduce current points standings behind 5 points from Nice, unbelievable with PSG have got draw against Brest last night although playing on their home and manage awhile but Brest success made comeback ten minutes before match ended. Have questionable with Luis Henrique reputation, need improving performance on upcoming match exactly PSG will face Real Sociedad in Champion League.
PSG have three matches left before facing Real Sociedad in Champion League, I think Luis Henrique need improving team performance and win all matches left to make team keep confidence for Champion League first leg match.
It was a dramatic game with points shared, and psg dropped 2 points again. Brest battled back from a 2-goal deficit to secure a point at the Parc des Princes. The French leaders seem to struggle against an in-form Brest these days, even with a two-goal lead. While they still look to be on their way to another title, there's a need for an improved performance in the upcoming matches. I don't understand what is wrong with Luis Enrique at psg. Luis Henrique must step up with a genuine game plan and motivate his players to boost their game.

Much credit needs to go to that man Victor Osimhen because for me, he seemed like the man of the match. He carried so much weight on his shoulders that even during the first half, he was already exhausted. No much ball feeding from the wingers and that made him do their job for them. See the buildup to the first goal, he was instrumental to it. To me that's a true attacker, even though he didn't score any goals, that assist and his presence alone gingered the Eagles to their victory. Kudos to them, I hope they continue with this fire in the quarter finals.
It's a well-deserved victory, and that's how you finish a good game of football. Osihmen is always a threat, whether he scores or creates chances! Osimhen is a powerhouse for the Eagles to their victory. Both Osimhen and Lookman, along with the entire team, demonstrated a good fighting spirit. The Nigerian squad is starting to play like a team now. Everyone came through in one way or another. The energy, passion, and team spirit were evident today. It's fact this Nigerian Super Eagles are improving in this tournament as they progress.

Barcelona has completely lose form, from there defense line to there midfield no position is working imagine what they face on there match against Villarreal, Barcelona was playing like a club that doesn't have focused and also with the performance Villarreal gave them they will not easily forget it.
It's no coincidence or luck on Villarreal side, they strive and won. Barcelona disappointed their fans yesterday; none of us expected the Blaugrana to lose points against Villarreal, which was supposed to be a draw tie; perhaps an entirely distinct conclusion was provoked. We wouldn't blame Xavi Hernandez for his speech; he made it apparent that he will leave Camp Nou at the end of the season. He was extremely disgruntled with the team's performance against Villarreal, which detected them come from behind 2-0 to lead 3-2 and finish 5-3, an unparalleled humiliation.
Of course, this was not luck for Villareal, but this was the result of their hard work which produced good results and were able to beat Barcelona. Apart from that, Villareal is also very effective in taking advantage of opportunities in front of Barcelona's goal, whereas Barcelona have had problems in their defense in the last few matches, especially as their goalkeeper often concedes goals.

Barcelona's defeat to Villareal made Xavi realize that he had to resign as Barcelona coach at the end of the season considering Barcelona's condition was not improving. In one of his interviews, he even said that even though Barcelona managed to advance far in the UCL League, his decision to resign as Barcelona coach was final.
Barca deserve to lose because of several factors. As usual every match day seems like a new disaster for Barcelona. Villareal played with more intensity, and Barcelona did try their best, but it wasn't good enough. Their goalkeeper had a really bad day today, making not even a single save for a shot on target from Villarreal's side. Villarreal seems like a team that every LaLiga team is using to collect free 3 points from Barca.

If Xavi doesn't make his way out himself at this stage, otherwise, Barca management will kick him out. Fortunately, Xavi recognizes that he can't manage as Barcelona's coach anymore.

England inning finally comes to an end with 230 run lead, Ollie Pope goes last at 196 with rather unnecessary shot, I mean all shots that player gets out can be called unnecessary, but the back swoop he tried to play was completely avoidable.

From looks of it i'm drifting towards India to win this match, if England can get early wickets, we'll see interesting chase.

Sad to see Pope missing out of his double century by only 4 runs. The guy had put some good efforts to reach to those runs and get England out of trouble. It has been a good innings from him and now it is time for the England bowlers to defend 230 runs if they want to win the first test match. Indian batters have now a small target to chase and it shouldn't be a struggle for the batters.
An exceptional innings has concluded, but unfortunately, the batsman played an unusual shot to get out. Nevertheless, this is the highest total from an English batter in the second innings in India! India dropped him twice with easy catches, but he has given his team a sporting chance. If England had a quality spinner, they would have easily won this. I still believe India will chase this low total.

Bayern finally is winning a game on easy terms but once again , the football style they are practicing is really not enjoyable to watch...at least in Bundesliga.
At least they are leading for now and hasnt won the game against Augsburg , right there is the halftime.
And who know what will happen in the second half , anything can come but i hope for my placed bet that Bayern Munich will be win this game.



Kane scores the third goal,
Augsburg 1-3 Bayern Munich

At this stage, it's not enjoyable to watch Bayern. Regardless, Bayern is in the lead at this moment against Augsburg, hopefully securing the three points. Keep pushing for more wins, and best of luck.

Duranta Dhaka  vs  Rangpur Riders

Duranta Dhaka won the toss and decided to field against Rangpur Riders. In this year's BPL, each team has won the toss and decided on the fielding. I have never seen a team win the toss and bat first.

While Duranta Dhaka won their first match against Comilla, Dhaka lost against Chattogram in their second match. On the other hand Rangpur team won only one match out of their three matches. Rangpur players are not in good form. So I consider the Dhaka team as the favorite today. Despite having experienced players like Brandon King, Babar Azam, Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai and Sakib, the performance of this team is poor. Let's see if they can play well today.
Today, Rangpur Riders entered the field against the great Dhaka in their fourth match. After losing the toss, Rangpur Riders are batting first where Rangpur Riders have collected 95 runs so far. Rangpur Riders batted for 95 runs in 12 overs in which they lost two wickets. Babar Azam is batting with confidence today and we might see another fifty from him today. Having lost two matches in the first three matches, Rangpur Riders are already in a bad position in the points table, so the best team in BPL will definitely want to win today's match. Since Rangpur Riders managed to accumulate 95 runs in the first over, it is expected that Rangpur will score 100 runs in the last eight overs as they still have enough wickets.

Babar Azam is near to a century, but at the same time, only 3 overs are left and in these three overs he should made 38 runs to complete his century.
Let's see if will he complete this or not but I hope that he will do and in these last overs, he always played very well, maybe for his century he will start to hit boundaries again and again. At the current, just Babar Azam was out, and in these innings he played very well, he was out by  Gunathilaka, and this ball caught by SM Meherob. He was out at 16th over the third ball.
Babar Azam hit his second fifty in just three innings in the BPL. While he couldn't prolong his innings further, it was a healthy contribution to his side. Rangpur's innings concluded, and after 20 overs, they set a decent total on the board. Dhaka now needs 184 runs to win. I believe the target is enough for Rangpur to defend. So, Rangpur are favorites to win.

Regardless of the game, Barcelona lost against Atletico Bilbao, that was a very bad day because now Xavi is under more pressure and he is even near to getting fired because of losing the game with a 4-2 result and we can't forget that Xavi lost the game against Real Madrid with the bad result too.
But other than the result of this match, Alejandro Balde the effective player of Barcelona got injured it seems he is hardly injured, even there is the possibility for Alejandro Balde to have surgery and if this happens Xavi will be under more pressure.
Alejandro Balde left the game against Atletico Bilbao while crying.



If you look at the Atletico Bilbao, they don't have high-profile players or spend much on players, but only coach's ability to make them play as a team with a clear idea and vision stands out. Barca clearly isn't in good rhythm. The next elimination might be from the UCL, and their super four is not confirmed yet. If such bad things continue, Xavi should be fired. This poor barca already facing difficulties, and another big blow for them as Alejandro Balde got injured against against Atletico Bilbao match. His injury is worse than expected and requires surgery. According to reports, his season is over, which doesn't good for Barca. It's a disastrous season for Barca so far, and there's no way to boost up this team.

I am impressed by the batting performance of the Indian team because every batsman is responsible, they are good enough to play the test match because the players of the Indian team have performed for a long time keeping the wickets. But in the same way if I compare then England team got all out on the first day they did not show patient players. In England's poor performance throughout the season, India gave away a 157-run lead in the first innings. Team India has accumulated a total of 403 runs so far with the fall of only seven wickets which is useful for the team to perform more. The team is full of reliable players till the last batsman and is very responsible in team formation.

The test match of India vs England is played at Hyderabad and according to the current situation, I think the Indian team bat today and tomorrow they declare their innings because, at this time, they made too high score and England bowlers can't take wickets of their player who are present to play.

India's team crossed 380 runs, and at that time, 14 overs are left to play and I think as they play they can easily be made 500 plus runs. Now the day has ended with 421 runs with 7 wickets down. The team of England started to take wickets but they picked it slowly not too fast so I think India will declare their innings tomorrow.

It's been a tough day for England in Hyderabad. India is currently at the top, 175 runs ahead of England at the end of Day 2. This isn't particularly surprising or exciting. England struggles in these conditions, lacking a quality spinner to capitalize on the opportunity. There's no variation, and it seems unlikely to change the situation at this stage. It's all over but bat ruling, therefore India will continue their batting on Day 3.

Ok so where Klopp is going next?

Manchester United?
I'm devastated; I just can't express how I feel. Liverpool will miss him terribly, and I wish him and his family all the best in the next adventure. I guess Bayern is waiting for him. Tuchel won't be there next season if he bottles in the Bundesliga. A good option is either there or the national team.

but this type of announcement should have waited until the season ends, not when the team's momentum for the season is on a trajectory. I fear this might negatively affect performance. Liverpool will struggle without him. He has been very unlucky not to win the league title on at least two more occasions, but he is one of the best modern-day managers anyway.

If the players of England U19 team can finish the whole innings, England U19 team may have a chance to score big. England U19 batting is not very good.  England Under 19 has so far collected 120 in 28.3 overs, losing 5 wickets.  England U19 batsmen are under pressure from West Indies U19 bowlers. Under the pressure of strong bowling of West Indies under 19 team, the batsmen of England under 19 team are not able to bat well. Now let's see if the England U19 batsmen can handle the pressure from the West Indies U19 bowlers.

pressure is building up. England U19 is batting cautiously, having lost their 6th wicket. It looks like West Indies U19 made the right decision by choosing to field after winning the toss. Everything is going in favor of West Indies U19 so far, but England U19 batter Hamza Shaikh is putting up a fight for his team. West Indies U19 needs to take Hamza's wicket quickly.

I doubt it honestly because there is no way Liverpool performance can be compare with Chelsea when it has become obvious that Chelsea is very inconsistent on this season while Liverpool has been able to have been leading the premier League, so if perhaps Chelsea was better than Liverpool on this premier League they would have been leading the table instead of Liverpool.

Agreed. Liverpool and Chelsea look technically no match in performance now. They got a draw against each other at Stamford Bridge before though. But it was the 1st week of the season at the same time. It isn't sensible to make assumptions from that week as a result.

But Salah won't be able to play against Chelsea in their upcoming duel - which is only 6 days away. This changes things a lot as Salah is a crucial member of the team. I think Liverpool might have more problems on scoring multiple goals depending on Chelsea's defense.

What do you think?

Liverpool are a very good and important team at the moment, and Liverpool have performed well throughout the season. Liverpool most important player at the moment is Mohamed Salah, if Mohamed Salah does not participate in the game, Liverpool team will definitely face danger. Because Mohamed Salah, the most important player in the attacking department, can't do it properly if he doesn't get into the team. No matter how strong Liverpool goalkeepers and defenders are, Liverpool are in danger when their attack department is weak.

Excited about this upcoming game! Both Liverpool and Chelsea bring class, flair, and the true essence of football to their fans. Liverpool has a good chance of winning if their key players are available, but it won't be a walk in the park. Interestingly, Chelsea tends to perform well against Liverpool but often ends up with a draw or a loss. As a football fan, I hope this time the outcome will different. I won't jump to congratulate Liverpool just yet; matchday scenarios can always bring surprises.

Currently, we are having second quarterfinal of the Copa del Rey between Mallorca vs Girona at the end of first half we have shocking results as Girona is trailing by 3–0 against a team which is currently 15th in La Liga league table and things are looking most chances now they will be eliminated from this cup, and we will have Mallorca into last four with Real Sociedad already advance into last four, and we have two quarterfinals remaining with Barcelona going to face Athletic Bilbao and Atlético Madrid going to face Sevilla for their spots into last four, but this current match is surely going to have another poor result from Girona after having draw against Almeria at home which give them big setback for their hopes to win La Liga in this season.
Oh, my God! this is too crazy and how can Girona concede 3 goals in just the first half and this is one of their worst performances of the season. I'm not quite sure that Girona will be able to turn things around with the remaining time in the second half, but if they equalize, it's still possible, even with that much difference, and it could be continued through extra time to determine who will go through.

Girona still has their mainstay striker on the bench who also recorded a hat trick last week against Sevilla in La Liga and I think Arthem Dovbyk is the solution to the problems Girona is currently facing. I know that coach Michel wants to rest some of his players but unfortunately this makes them vulnerable to conceding goals. Yan Couto, who is a right-back, is also on the bench in this match and I think he can contribute with his assists in the second half if he comes on as a supersub.
Looking at the current development of Girona's game, it is a bit surprising that they conceded three goals in the first half against Mallorca, but in my opinion maybe they did not appear at full strength in this match. And it is true that the Girona coach has made several substitutions and has now managed to score one goal via a penalty after a Mallorca player fouled a Girona player and received a red card. With a one player advantage, will Girona be able to recover with just 15 minutes remaining before the end of the second half. let's watch
I'm not surprised that Girona lost to Mallorca 3-2 in their Copa del Rey match. Maybe Girona doesn't want to contest for the Copa del Rey this season; they just want to stay focused on winning their La Liga matches to have a chance of lifting the La Liga trophy from Real Madrid this season.
It sounds non sense to say girona was not willing to compete in copa del rey. Any teams will be so happy in winning the competition and trophy. It's caused by the trophy can be used as a proof if team has been slowly developing even better. Why did girona participate in copa del rey if it was not willing to get the trophy? girona is just facing another disaster caused by mallorca was leading the game with 3 goals. The bad thing girona was not able to equalizing the goals scored by mallorca in the first half. It's a set back for girona in this case.

The club can't even perform better compared when it was playing in la liga. It's such a disgrace for the club caused by it was missing a lot of opportunities. I meant that girona has been wasting opportunity to perform better than before.

yeah, they are a great team, so why not aim to win the Copa del Rey! They were not serious about it, and this is not a new excuse btw.
Girona has been eliminated from the Copa del Rey by 10-man Mallorca. Despite being one man down at the 67th minute, girona failed to capitalize on the chances as they missed couple of opportunities. Mallorca was 3-0 up in the first half, and breaking down their defense proved challenging. Anyway, Girona will now shift their focus solely to the league. Today's loss might not matter much if they can secure the La Liga title at the end of the season. However, winning La Liga remains a dream for Girona, with Real Madrid being the favorites.

England won the toss and choose to bat first. India went with three spinners and two pace bowlers. That is a good strategy as Indian pitches do support  spin bowling. Patidar is not part of the playing team. I saw Shubhman Gill coming in the position where Kohli bats. The form that he is in now, I am not sure whether taking him was a good decision.

I have lost faith in the England team as they have performed poorly throughout the season. So I don't support England team in today's game, because they are not patient players. They have lost with a huge margin even with the normal teams, that's why I think India is strong in today's test match. Farooq's team has reliable batting in Test matches, so if India can put up a good bowling performance today, they can all out England in the first innings on the first day.


Both openers are playing well against the Indian bowling attack. They have not lost a single wicket and are nearing 50 runs. The pitch is not giving any assistance to the pacers it is just flat for now. Later in the day, the spinners might get some assistance. As of now England is batting aggressively and is not facing any issues.

55/0 to 60/3

The game takes a different turn when spinners come into play. Indian spinners Ashwin and Jadeja made a breakthrough, taking three quick wickets for the home side. It could be a combination of good bowling and poor shot selection. England needs to approach the game with more pragmatism. As usual, Indian spinners might pose a challenge for England's batting.

Nepal is not a very strong team. Even so, a descent of 198 runs allowed them to deliver a target. If the bowlers did well, Nepal had a chance to win. But it seems that Pakistan team does not want to lose this match in any way. Pakistan collected 151 runs in 40 overs losing 4 wickets. They still need 47 runs in the last 10 overs. If the Nepalese bowlers can take the wickets of Azan and Hassan in quick succession, then they have a chance to win. Nepal cannot win if these two batsmen stay at the crease.
Azan Awais fought hard until the end to confirm victory for his team. Nepal had a chance to get back into the game if they had taken the wickets of Azan and Hassan. Awais was awarded the Player of the Match for his resilient innings of unbeaten 63 innings. Pakistan played cautiously as the target was not too large. Initially, Nepal performed well, and it seemed like they would set a significant target, but something went wrong for them later on. Despite expecting to lose, the Nepalese fought hard to keep today's match alive. And I love that, that's the spirit.

After rarely getting playing minutes at Manchester City, Kalvin Philips finally moved to West Ham on loan. This agreement is valid until the end of this season and there is a purchase option clause for West Ham. I think it's time for Kalvin Philips to start forgetting Manchester City because the competition there is very tight with other players and it's not that Kalvin Philips is bad, it's just that under Pep Guardiola he wasn't the first choice.

If his performance is convincing at West Ham then he will definitely be made permanent and at least that would be better for his career while he is still competing in England. Even if in the end he has to return to Manchester City then he will only be a bench warmer again and that will make his career not shine again. Well, congratulations to Kalvin Philips, he took the right steps before it was too late.
David Moyes had been consistently observing Kalvin Phillips before his return to West Ham. Moyes attempted to secure Phillips' signature during the same summer he joined Manchester City. However, Phillips opted to work with Pep Guardiola at Man City, despite the intense competition for playing time. It turned out that he wouldn't have the regular playing opportunities he desired at Man City due to the stiff competition.
Anyway, this acquisition is considered a positive move for West Ham. Kalvin Phillips is recognized for his outstanding skills in defensive midfield, a strong work ethic, and being a genuinely nice person. Joining West Ham provides him with the chance to regain regular playing time and further secure his place in the international setup. Best of luck to Phillips at West Ham.
