This up coming twenty/20 world cup is going to be very cruicial for Virat Kohli and Shastri because if they fail to produce any good result then surely both are going to be in hot water as many baord officials are going to against them and this can create some serious trouble for both these now time for them to bring some big silverware back at home for own safety.
I think so too. It will not be good for Virat Kohli and Shastri if they do not perform well in the world cup. BCCI is the richest cricket board in the world. It is normal for them to aim to be the champions. If Virat Kohli If can't take India to the final, I think he will lose the captaincy. |

I think the biggest surprise of yesterday was Rijeka winning against Alkmar and it was their only victory from all their games.Probably Alkmar took things a bit easier than they should have and the result of the game was the most shocking of all the games of yesterday.
This is really surprising and unexpected. Az Alkmaar played well throughout the match. But in the end, they could not win. I would say, the best player for HNK Rijeka in the match was their goalkeeper Nevistic. |

if Sociedad loses and AZ wins then Sociedad will be eliminated to the next round...
Dundalk had no power against Arsenal, the first half was not over but Arsenal was already leading 2-1. very likely Arsenal will win in this match.
Just look at the first 30 minutes Sociedad seems to be dominating and very ambitious if this continues into the second half, I won't be surprised if Sociedad win Napoli seemed to be giving opportunities even though their position was also not safe it's interesting to wait. Although Sociedad dominated, they are now trailing 1-0. Piotr Zielinski has scored the only goal of the match for Napoli so far. Real Sociedad made an impact but Napoli only got one chance and was able to score. The match seems exciting to me. |

I am very happy for Atalanta and Bergamo, their city. These guys are the best outsider in this year's Champions League. They will be giving headaches to all those teams that will be facing them. If you search for risky but rewarding bets for the next round, then look no further.
I was really surprised to see Atlanta's game. I expected Liverpool and Ajax from group D to go to the next round. But my guess was wrong. Although Ajax played well enough in yesterday's match, Atlanta won in the end. They scored in the 85th minute and won. Bad luck for Ajax. |

Barcelona are in trouble, they have been for a while now, but they've been in freefall ever since the Bayern result and Messi saying he wanted out. Their descent has been masked to an extent because even a bad Barcelona is still good enough to beat many mediocre teams. But they have zero chance of winning La Liga. Real are better, but not hugely better. I don't think we can see beyond Atletico at the moment for the title, and I'd also expect them to beat Real in the next game. Real madrid games are not pretty most of the time, but as a fan of real madrid I like it that way because they bring results and that's what matters at the end of each game. I hope we can beat Atletico madrid, because if we can beat altetico madrid then the Top awaits us and with barcelona going through bad times, win La Liga it will be as easy as taking candy from the mouth of a person who is sleeping in the deepest sleep  Real Madrid does not have enough strength to beat Atletico Madrid. At least I think so. Look at the Atletico Madrid team. A stable team. They are performing well as regulars. But I don't see any continuity in Real Madrid's performance. |

I think upcoming T-20 WC might change the tide. If India lose then there are high chance of Shastri getting sacked as no one in BCCI holds favorable opinion about him especially Ganguly and everyone might start thinking beyond Kohli in the limited over cricket.
Kohli is panuti when it comes to big tournaments be it Champions trophy final, Semis of WC and almost every season of IPL.
Ganguly and the other BCCI officials have avoided open confrontation with Kohli, who has a reputation of being short-tempered. So I am not sure there will be any change, even if they perform poorly during the T20 World Cup. Selecting a coach, who doesn't dance to the tunes of Kohli will be huge. Attempts were made earlier, but they were not successful. If they are not reaching in Semis then i think this time voice against Virat's captaincy going to be very loud and rightly so. We are surely going to see some drastic changes in the support staff if Virat fail to produce some result as Captain. Virat's captaincy is not good as like Dhoni, but still, Virat is a good captain. If the players of the team fail to perform well, no matter how good the captain is, the team will not win. India has successfully completed the T20 series. Let's see what the results of the test series are. |

That was Borussia Dortmund for a while, but now I'm leaning towards RB Leipzig. Did it really well in the CL last year.
Leipzig is playing well this year too. They are now in third position in the Bundesliga. I think they will come in the second position in a few days. On the other hand, they are playing well enough in the Champions League too. Yesterday they got a great win against Manchester United. The match was very exciting. 3 players of Leipzig have scored 3 goals. Very balanced team. |

FC Midtjylland - Liverpool
PSG - Basaksehir
Ajax - Atalanta
These three matches are now being held. I placed my bets for Liverpool, PSG, and Ajax today. Liverpool and PSG already have lead by 1 goal. But neither team has yet scored in the match between Ajax vs Atalanta.

Please, Zidane, Ramos, Benzema and all the crew, don't let me down tonight 😑
Hahaha. Hope they won't disappoint you. Borussia Monchengladbach is not a very good team. They are the average team. If Benzema plays well today, Real Madrid will definitely win. In the previous match against Gladbach, Real Madrid's defense was very bad. So the match was drawn. Hopefully today Zidane will try to strengthen his defense. |

The matches seemed unpredictable to me. So I made no bets. I will place my next bet in the Bundesliga in the RB Leipzig vs Werder Bremen match. I bet on Leipzig. Hope, I won't lose my money.
The Werder team have not won any matches last few months. Their last win was, back in September, against Schalke 04.  I think your bet is pretty safe, but anything is possible in football, of course. yes. leipzig will win. I will bet on leipzig as well. werder bremen has often played undecided. bremen's last win was on october 3 against bielefeld that was a long time ago . and leipzig must win to keep them at the top of the Bundesliga Seeing the performance between Leipzig and Werder Bremen it is very different, especially when Leipzig beat Manchester United in the Champions League. This makes Leipzig players very confident, while Werder Bremen in the last 5 matches has never won. Leipzig should easily beat Werder Bremen, so I bet on Leipzig's win I will do that too. It is the main reason. After the victory against Man Utd in the champions league, the morale of the players of Leipzig has increased and they have become more confident. It is very important to be confident to win a match. And Werder Breman is not the strongest team. I hope Leipzig will win very easily. |

I did not mean that Natarajan has fitness problems. My point is that there are many better players in the Indian squad than Natarajan. India has a lot of talented players for ODI matches. And India needs some experienced players for the Tests. Natarajan plays well but is not very experienced.
Got it, with experience and exposure in playing in different countries will help their grow as a player and with his accuracy Natarajan is a prospect for India.
I am disappointed with the match today as India lost the match because of the bad fielding and the captaincy of Kohli. The delay in DRS decision in the 11th over cost the match as Kohli did not take the third umpire decision even though it was the wicket of Wade who was in tremendous touch and if he had gone for the review in time that was plumb in front of the wicket and the dropped catches which is continuing every match. Although India has fielded a lot of bad. But I think India lost the match because their batsmen could not run. Or it can be said that the Australian bowlers have played well. No Indian batsman was successful except Virat Kohli. There are many qualityful and talented batsmen in the India squad. The 187 run target was not too difficult for India. |

It looks like a lot of gamblers are losing money in the weekend matches, because many draws occurred in the Bundesliga. This is unpredictable,
Honestly, my loss was quite big because I bet on Dortmund and Bayern wins. But both of them failed to win the match, really crazy match
in the Bundesliga. Even the Monchengladbach and Wolfsburg teams also have a draw result.
I hear you. I lost my bets, too because Borussia didn't win the match. Lots of draws in the last round, as well. Then there were four of them. The matches seemed unpredictable to me. So I made no bets. I will place my next bet in the Bundesliga in the RB Leipzig vs Werder Bremen match. I bet on Leipzig. Hope, I won't lose my money. |

But my question is: without Ibra or Ronaldo, are they able to achieve the same results? Because it's so easy to rely only on them, but it's harder to go further without them. It's a double-edged sword, having such strong people in a team.
Yes it is for Milan for sure. If you check statistics and see matches in which Ibra was not playing you can see that Milan scored more goals and won more points per match then in those matches when Ibra was on the pitch. I think so too. The Milan team is stable enough. If Ibra is in the team, the players of the team must be mentally cheerful and strong. But besides Ibra, Milan is a good enough team. They have won many matches without Ibra. |

It's still to early to say something like this.
Barcelona can still save this season but probably they probably have a better chance in CL than in La Liga.
They need new management, new coach and Xavi as soon as possible.
They depend to much on Messi and he can't do everything alone. It's early but Atletico Madrid has 26 points in 10 matches. Barcelona has only 14 points in 10 matches. Difference is 4+ games, even if you don't count other teams. Each team has played only 10 matches. 28 more matches left. Before at least 10 more matches are over, it's hard to predict which team will be the champions this season. Although Athletico Madrid and Real Sociedad are now in a very good position. Barcelona may also return to the truck in a few days. And will take part in the title fight. For Barcelona, the most important thing is the Champions League, I think they will bet on this very tournament. Real Sociedas will not be able to keep up with the pace of the championship and will soon withdraw from the race. So Atletico Madrid has a better chance of winning Laliga this year. They are the most stable of all opponents. If they beat Real Madrid this week, the odds will be even greater. Atletico Madrid is strong enough now. Even I think the strongest and most stable team in La Liga is Athletic Madrid. They have become stronger after taking Suarez to the team. I'm just waiting to watch the match between Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid. I would be happy if the match is a draw. |

The match between Mohun Bagan vs Jamshedpur is ended. Jamshedpur won the match by 2-1 goal. The match was very exciting. At least I really enjoyed the match. Jamshedpur's striker Valskis played very well in today's match. He scored the only two goals for Jamshedpur.
Well.. I had warned everyone that their foreign players are in great form, especially Nerijus Valskis. First defeat for ATK Mohun Bagan. Hopefully, they will be less complacent in their next match. BTW, today we have Bengaluru FC vs Northeast United. Bengaluru has been a big disappointment so far (although they won their last match). A win would go a long way in boosting the morale of the players, as well as that of the fans. You prediction is just amazing. I'm impressed. Did you bet on that match? The match between Bengaluru FC vs Northeast United has just started. And in just 3 minutes, Northeast United took a 1-0 lead. Rochharzela scored for Northeast United. Hope today's match is enough enjoyable. |

I think Natarajan is now fit to play T20 and ODI matches for the Indian national team. Now he is in good form. The Indian coach should now collaborate to further develop Natarajan’s talent and skill. Otherwise, Natarajan will not be able to service the India team for a long time. He will be lost in the crowd of other players. We have seen before that many good talented players are lost due to lack of perfect direction.
To play IPL for a month and now playing in Australia and performing you think Natarajan has fitness issues  . The talents that did not fulfill is because they did not change with the demands of international cricket and you need to evolve as a cricketer because the opposition team is always learning your bowling skills and until you evolve and change you will fade out. I did not mean that Natarajan has fitness problems. My point is that there are many better players in the Indian squad than Natarajan. India has a lot of talented players for ODI matches. And India needs some experienced players for the Tests. Natarajan plays well but is not very experienced. |

I totally agree with you. I think Natarajan plays much better than Saini and Siraj. He will do better if he is trained well. He has bowled brilliantly in the last T20 match against Australia. He is far ahead of Saini and Siraj.
Agreed. IMO, Natarajan will be a better partner for Bumrah, when compared to either Saini or Siraj. India didn't had a quality left-arm pacer for quite sometime now, and I am sure that Natarajan will be able to fill that vacuum. The fact that he plays for SRH shouldn't be held against him. And the Indian selectors need to tell Kohli that he should not get too biased while selecting the playing XI. Now its all on his fitness and selectors how they settle this young talent because now first they need to give him some good time in these two short formats as he gain some good expereince then bring him in test format which could be great for him and surely he is going to be very good for Indian bowling attack which was looking for replacing Ishant as now his time is coming up and this could be great for this younster as well. I think Natarajan is now fit to play T20 and ODI matches for the Indian national team. Now he is in good form. The Indian coach should now collaborate to further develop Natarajan’s talent and skill. Otherwise, Natarajan will not be able to service the India team for a long time. He will be lost in the crowd of other players. We have seen before that many good talented players are lost due to lack of perfect direction. |

Although it is true that Jamshedpur FC is yet to win any match, you should not forget the fact that they have a very well balanced side. Their foreign players are in very good form (Nerijus Valskis/Peter Hartley/Stephen Eze/Alex Lima), and they have some of the most promising young Indian players such as Jackichand Singh, Isaac Vanmalsawma, Laldinliana Renthlei and William Lalnunfela. It is going to be a tight match.
I think ATK Mohun Bagan will have some trouble to win the match but they will win. Because their players are in form now. Winning a match requires skill as well as being mentally strong. And Mohun Bagan has won all the matches, so the morale of all the players of Mohun Bagan is in a strong position. Let's see if they win today. The match between Mohun Bagan vs Jamshedpur is ended. Jamshedpur won the match by 2-1 goal. The match was very exciting. At least I really enjoyed the match. Jamshedpur's striker Valskis played very well in today's match. He scored the only two goals for Jamshedpur. |

I never liked Saini's bowling from the beginning, but many posters here appreciated his bowling. I feel there are better alternatives out there.
The advantage for Navdeep Saini and Mohammed Siraj is that both of them play for RCB, which happens to be Virat Kohli's IPL franchise. Earlier there was a "CSK quota" in the Indian team, through which Mahendra Singh Dhoni got players such as Kedar Jadhav selected for the Indian team. Now this CSK quota has been replaced with the RCB quota. I am not saying that Saini and Siraj are bad players. But it is a fact that more deserving (or even equally deserving) players get overlooked in their favor. I totally agree with you. I think Natarajan plays much better than Saini and Siraj. He will do better if he is trained well. He has bowled brilliantly in the last T20 match against Australia. He is far ahead of Saini and Siraj. |

AC Milan in Serie A is similar to Spurs in Premier League, people don't think they have good positions and strength to hunt for trophies but after one third of the season, they proved they can fight for national trophies.
The position of Ac Milan and Tottenham is almost the same. Ac Milan is a good enough and strong team. Ac Milan is now ahead in the trophy fight. They are now at the top of the points table. And the biggest thing is that they haven't lost a single match so far. They have played 10 matches and won 8 of them. And two draws. I hope Ac Milan will be the champion of Seria A at this time. If they can maintain the continuity of their performance. |
