Saudi teams are quite good especially these on top but we shouldn't forget that some players are unsatisfied with the rhythm of the leagues and the integration of his family like Handerson who is planning to move to Eredivisie, others with his team like Benzema and so on.
Nevertheless, the achievements made so far are great for the league and the country.
Players from Europe struggle to adapt to very hot temperature in Saudi Arabia and they have some more difficulties like different religion, culture that all together affect not only those players but their girl friends or family members.

About the league, those European players feel unfamiliar with stadiums which are not crowded like they used to play in Europe. It is like playing in empty stadiums during pandemic and with so many reasons, they want to return to Europe.

I believe that biggest reasons forced them to move to Saudi Professional League is money and if they feel they earn enough after 2 or 3 seasons, they will leave this league and return to Europe.
Players who left European leagues may have left their mark on the SPL. The hype is over, and we're entering a new era where players are realizing that the SPL might not be the ideal place to showcase their quality or retire. This is the normal cycle of the sport, and at some point, it will reach its maximum. When that happens, no magic will work.

Ronaldo serves as an ambassador for the Saudi league; obviously, he won't speak negatively about them. Ronaldo's impact can fade away over time, along with the buzz. However, changes are visible right now, and these changes don't concern me. I believe the reputation of the SPL will slowly fade away.

Once again Leverkusen won the game and this time they won against a team like Leipzig while Leipzig is not a bad team and they had good performance in the recent games we saw from them.
Leipzig was about to take some points in this match against Leverkusen and make Bayern Munich happy. Still, after the comeback from Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso was happy and he couldn't breathe because of this victory he got against Leipzig.


Leverkusen has added to their long list of wins this season without being defeated, the victory against Leipzig today is a good record for Leverkusen this season, Xabi Alonso has managed to keep Leverkusen consistently on their winning path, this match looks very interesting, where Leverkusen did not give up and managed to come back until the last minute, I acknowledge their consistency to date in remaining at the top of the Bundesliga standings.

We all know that Leipzig is a pretty strong team and they always play well, so it is difficult for Leverkusen to beat them, but Xabi alonso has proven that for the second time in their meeting Leverkusen won against them, I hope Leverkusen can win the title this season because If they fail, of course it will be in vain. They have tried hard to maintain their consistency but in the end failed to win the title this season and failed to break Munich's dominance.

This is a tough job for Xabi Alonso because maintaining consistency is not easy, there are still matches that must be passed, that's why Leverkusen still has to be able to play optimally in the next few matches, at least they can show their best game like today they beat Leipzig.
Absolutely fantastic play! We've witnessed 90 minutes of pure football from both sides. Leverkusen stands out as the best team in the Bundesliga this season and beyond. Their mentality, passion, and determination keep them going strong. Xavi Alonso's performance is commendable, and they'll need to secure victories in the upcoming games against Werder Bremen and Union Berlin. In the Bundesliga, we're in need of a team to challenge Bayern, and Leverkusen is certainly living up to that role. They deserve to win the league. Facing defeat is part of the journey to win the title; let's hope they don't face challenges like Arsenal did towards the end. If they stumble, it will be a disappointment. The only problem is that Bayern still has a game in hand, and Leverkusen needs to surpass them before claiming the top spot. Hopefully, other teams can also beat Bayern, causing them to drop points.

The main issue with Pakistan is there inconsistent performance. They lost this series 4-1 but that doesn't mean there upcoming world cup journey is over. You may find them in knock out stage or even final of T20 world cup. In last T20 WC, they lost in group stages to Zimbabwe but concluded there journey by playing the final.
Having said that this is something not to be proud of. Pakistan is playing cricket for decades and after years of cricket they can't produce a team that can give some consistency.  
Now we have more drama coming in PCB as Zaka resigned as PCB chief. Now wait for some new surprise.
Finally Pakistan team got their desired win after long wait. In the fifth T20 match, Pakistan bowlers bowled brilliantly and their part-time bowler Iftekhar Ahmed gave an incredible performance in this match. Iftekhar Ahmed took three wickets with 34 runs in four overs and Shahensha Afridi and Mohammad Nawaz took two wickets each.

Although Pakistan won this match, they could not bat as expected their batting performance did not improve. Apart from Mohammad Rizwan and Faqar Zaman, none of the pakistan team managed to score 30 plus runs. As T20 World Cup is about to start, all Pakistani players need to improve their batting performance otherwise they will continue to play poorly in T20 World Cup.
Pakistan's bowlers showcased brilliance, successfully defending the lowest men's T20I total in New Zealand. While their bowling was impressive, concerns continues about their batting performance. Despite the series not yielding many positives, this win could be a turning point for Pakistan. However even following this victory, the body language of Pakistan players looks were fractured, indicating a need for time to heal and move forward. Congratulations to the Black Caps on securing a 4-1 victory.

Yes, in the final round of Italian supercup will have a big match (Inter Milan vs Napoli). Both the teams won the semi-final matches with big scores (3 goals, without conceded a single goal). I think both Napoli and Inter Milan will play with their best performance in the final round. However, if we analyze the current condition of these teams during this season, it is true that Inter Milan should be the favorite team to win the final match. I'm sure Inter Milan has a better defense and they have better attackers, too. So, I guess Inter Milan will win the title and they will win the match with 2 goal at least. I predict the result of the match will be Inter Milan 2-0 Napoli.  Wink
Inter deserves to be many people's favorite team to win the Italian Super Cup final against Napoli. The reason is, Inter's recent performance has been in a very promising condition. So I'm sure that in the final match I will choose Inter as my choice. Because yesterday in the semifinals my prediction was very correct regarding the Inter and Lazio match. So in my opinion there is nothing wrong if in the final I remain firmly committed to staying with Inter.

However, even so, I am a little suspicious, even though it is widely discussed, Inter could come out as champions in the final. However, Napoli will definitely use their best abilities to overthrow Inter and will definitely fight with all their abilities. So I think it's possible that in the final there will be an unexpected surprise from Napoli. Because after all, Napoli is not an easy team to beat. So the final will definitely be a very fierce match. There may be extra time or a penalty shootout. But even so, I will remain committed to choosing Inter. Cool
Inter defeated Lazio and secured their spot in the Super Cup Final against Napoli on January 22nd.
I believe Inter has a good chance of winning the Italian Super Cup final against Napoli. They have the potential to achieve another Treble this season. Although Inter played well, they need to be more clinical in front of goal. Inter Milan is considered the favorite to win the final, but Napoli could potentially cause an upset and emerge victorious. Napoli, as defending champions, may prove why they are a strong contender.

Early goal from Arsenal, a corner kick that was scored from a very good header from Gabriel the Arsenal defender, and Arsenal celebrate because in their recent games, they have had issues with scoring goals, but now have scored one just less than 30 minutes into the game. Early goals do not guarantee victory, so Arsenal will have to ensure that they do not allow Crystal Palace any opportunity to score a goal before they can double their lead. Arsenal still needs a striker, even if they win the game, because even the goal scored in this game has come from a defender.
It's unexpected to see a double in the first half from an Arsenal defender, but it's better than worrying that the first half might end without goals. When I saw that Gabriel scored two goals, I thought that we were talking about Gabriel Jesus, but it turned out that it was the defender who took on the functions of the attacker today. In the last matches, the attack of Crystal Peles looks weak, so it looks like Arsenal can finally get 3 points today, and there is still a second half, so they can score more, maybe Jesus will do it this time.
Arsenal managed to lead 2-0 for a while. Even though they dominated the match, but I didn't see Arsenal having many chances in the first half. They seemed to have difficulty building attacks because Crystal Palace played quite aggressively and they always chased where the ball was. Luckily Arsenal has pretty good composure in this match and they can maximize every opportunity they have.
A good comeback, but there's nothing new in the attack. It seems like they haven't learned anything new in Dubai. There are sloppy passes in the backline, and Arsenal is just fortunate that it's Crystal Palace. Arsenal needs improvement, but the scoreline is good so far. It's the second half, and the positive thing is they lead by three goals.

`
It was really a tough match between these two strong opponents, Athletico Madrid demostrated strength through out the game,showing that they can't be beaten twice by thesame club.I really love how they responded to the last beating that they had at home to Madrid.It is a thing of joy that Athletico are able to beat madrid,but I doubt if that will be possible in the Laliga, perhaps Madrid didn't take this cup more seriously,thats why they allowed Athletico to get the three points in this game.From now,I will be putting an eye on this Athletico Madrid vs Madrid,because the rivalry is now becoming interesting.

The Copa del Rey win over Madrid was a well-planned vengeance plot for Atlético after their Spanish Super Cup loss. Their resilience versus Madrid at the Metropolitano twice this season is remarkable. I didnt expect it, especially with Madrid in good form under Ancelotti.

As much as I respect Atlético's resilience, I question their La Liga consistency. They must show they can maintain this performance. Madrid, however, appears to be prioritizing the league. They're going for the top slot and face easier opponents. Atlético's next games are important for regaining the top four. Not sure how this will play out, but the top four dynamics will be fascinating in the following weeks.
Nowadays, watching Atlético vs. Madrid is more interesting than Barca vs. Madrid. Real Madrid typically doesn't perform well in the Copa del Rey, so I'm not surprised, to be honest. Tough luck for Real Madrid continues. With their elimination from the Copa del Rey, they can no longer aim for trebles this season. Now, let's shift their focus to the league title and the UEFA Champions League. But from my perspective achieving success in the UCL might be challenging due to the ongoing injury problems.

Again there is some news about Neymar and Al Hial, it seems they want to hire Renan Lodi and this player can't join Al Hila unless they release a player to this team.
Since Neymar couldn't really help Al Hilal and he wasn't useful in this team and he is currently hardly injured, they want to remove his name from the list to use the empty spot for Renan Lodi. However, the news is not confirmed yet by Al Hilal.
https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/01/18/3itxG.jpeg
I read this news in Fabrizio Romano's tweet and indeed Al-Hilal had to remove Neymar's name from the list so they could register Renan Lodi in the squad. I think Al-Hilal have taken the right steps because the most important thing this season is to be able to win the title with a solid squad and if they are bothered by Neymar's status then they can lose his name for a moment.

Neymar still suffers from regular injuries during his career and who knows how long it will take for players to recover and that will only be detrimental to Al-Hilal. I think Al-Hilal is definitely planning something at the end of the season for Neymar's future, whether they will terminate his contract or keep him. However, if Al-Hilal still needs Neymar's services as a boost to the club's name, then they must also be ready for a season of playing without Neymar, whose injuries often recur and cannot strengthen Al-Hilal.
Al Hilal sought goodwill, and reports suggest Neymar's contract might not be terminated immediately. However, the situation could change by the end of the season. Neymar is expected to be sidelined for the rest of the season, allowing the management to make room for other players. This is likely a temporary measure until Neymar recovers from injuries and can offer his service to the club.
Neymar, is a talented player, has faced a career setback due to persistent injuries. It's unfortunate that injuries have been a recurring issue, and there's currently no sign of improvement.

Babar Azam batting is also amazing to watch i think Babar will scored 50 plus runs today, they alreday scored 3 consecutive fifties in this series. new Zealand performance in this series is outstanding they win this series by 3-0 and now looking to whitewash pakistan. if pakistan scored big total then they will win this match by good margin and avoid to whitewash from new Zealand.

2 wickets have gone and the latest one is Babar Azam, last three matches he played well but today he got out after scoring 19 runs. The current run rate is not that good it below 8 which does not look good. Pakistan has only been able to score 71 runs at the end of 10 overs and they have another 10 to get to a decent score. At the current run rate, they would be able to get to 150 runs max, they will now need to try to increase the run rate. They have 8 wickets in hand but the problem is that most of their batters are not reliable.
Yes Babar Azam played the expected game in today's match. However, Mohammad Rizwan is in great form with the bat in this match. This great batsman of Pakistan team Mohammad Rizwan has so far collected 82 runs off 58 balls. Now if Mohammad Rizwan can stay at the crease in a responsible manner then Mohammad Rizwan will have a chance to score a century in this match. Looking at the performance of Pakistan team players in today's match, it seems that Pakistan team can score 170 runs today.  Pakistan team batsmen should bat more responsibly to achieve big scores. Now let's see how well the batsmen of the Pakistan team can do in the end in this match.
Pakistan's innings have come to an end, setting a target of 159. Mohammad Rizwan played heroically, scoring an unbeaten 90. He single-handedly carried Pakistan until the end, as other batsmen failed to perform or provide support. If Rizwan had been dismissed early, Pakistan might have set a target of 100-110.
For NZ chasing the target won't be easy, because of Shaheen Afridi's outstanding bowling performance. He has already taken three wickets. Afridi is on fire!

Sri Lanka won easily today too, as Zimbabwe managed to score only 82 runs from the first wicket. The Sri Lankan team has done so well bowling performance Hasaranga has done the best bowling performance he has collected four wickets alone. Hasaranga has bowled 4 overs giving only 15 runs, and other bowling performance has been good. But the bowling of the Zimbabwe team, in comparison, could not keep the batting of the Sri Lankan team under pressure. And in just 10.5 balls the Sri Lankan team secured their victory.
I would call it a thrashing. Today, Zimbabwe put up a very disappointing performance, leading to an easy win for the Sri Lankan side. In the 3rd T20I match, Sri Lanka secured a victory by 9 wickets with 55 balls left, and sealing the three-match T20I series 2-1 against Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka had all the support in their favor, and Hasaranga was the key player who made things easy for SL.

What is clear, as you say, is that Mourinho wants to rest for a while and parting ways with Roma is something that drains his emotional side. Mourinho has never been involved in problems with clubs, players or fans so yesterday's farewell to Roma was very sad for him. I hope he returns soon to coach a new team next season because he always misses his action as a coach in a match. Wink
Mourinho contract will actually expire in June 2024, but surprisingly the Roma owner has fired him unilaterally and this has obviously shocked many people, even though Mourinho has actually said that his future at Roma will be decided in June later, but it turns out that the Roma owner turns out to be first taking the decision to mourinho fired, I think Mourinho will get big compensation later, as a legendary coach, of course it won't take long for Mourinho to get a new club and maybe he will return to the Premier League or maybe there will be a big offer coming from Arab League later, let's see where Special One will continue his adventure later!
It's done! Mourinho got fired again. This isn't the first time – Chelsea, Man United, and Real Madrid gave him the boot before. The owner of Roma kicked him out on Tuesday, right after Roma lost 3-1 to AC Milan on Sunday. Roma didn't wait for his contract to end, but they wished him good luck for what comes next. He still gets paid as per his contract. The Roma management seems a bit crazy. I do believe that they didn't fire Mourinho because of his coaching, but because he criticized officials and the press. He's a good coach, the Special One, and he's respected elsewhere. Every end is a new beginning, maybe he'll head to Saudi Arabia.

I just see Arsenal repeating same thing they did in the premier league last season, just take a look at how Arsenal started very well this season just to reach this stage and starts losing points. Well, it's obvious that Arsenal may not really be strong enough to stand as title contenders this season so their match against Crystal palace may not be certain to whether they can defeat them regardless of the fact that they are playing in their home ground after all, they lost against Westham in Emirate stadium so it wouldn't be a surprise if Crystal palace also do the same.
Maybe Arsenal is experiencing conditions similar to last season. Even this season I think it's worse. Because last season we saw Arsenal still ranked at the top in the middle of the season. And dropped to 2nd place at the end of the season. Arteta seems to have to rebuild the squad. More thorough preparations must be made for next season. But this season there is something different, namely Arsenal will fight in the last 16 of the UCL. So Arsenal's goals may be much bigger this season. But with the current conditions, it is natural that doubts are starting to creep in among all Arsenal fans.

against Crystal Palace shouldn't be a big deal. But maybe Arsenal will find it difficult to score many goals. Arsenal will probably win but with a narrow score.
One of the major problem of Arsenal is lack of depth which has been the same problem of last season, though they did sign two players, Havertz and injured Timber of course those signings  hasn't made the squad more formidable and again it's obvious the team lack a competent striker and Arteta hasn't address that problem take a look at most the matches they lost they dominated and took most of the possessions yet couldn't register or score goals, the team is the architect of their own fortune if the management is ready to win the league they should do the needful by signing top striker, with their next match against crystal palace as it's going to be a tough match because now Arsenal is unpredictable.
I agree with your point; it's a genuine concern. Arsenal is facing sustainability issues without a clinical finisher in the striker position. This teams are not overly concerned about their striker, allowing them to focus on neutralizing their wingers. This lack of threat leads to visible signs of frustration and a gradual loss of form and confidence. There's a growing worry about Arsenal's potential to finish outside the top 4. To win the league or remain competitive, they need to pose a significant threat that makes opponents respect and fear them. Arsenal's upcoming match against Crystal Palace is a cause for concern.

1st inning was pretty interesting between Australia vs West Indies.  Australian bowlers were so aggressive from beginning and bowling line is so accurate that they stopped WI within 188 run and it supposed to be Australia will be superior the innings. Kirk McKenzie did his 50s from WI, otherwise no batsman was able to last long in pitch. Credit goes to Pat Cummins & Josh Hazlewood for hunting 4w each.
But WI team also bowling fantastic and made Australian batmans in trouble. Only Travis Head survived in from of WI bolwes & record his 119 scored and for him, Australia archivement was 283, that means they are leading with 95 runs yet.
West Indies batting badly in 1st Innings Today West Indies team batsmen came to bat for 2nd Innings. Australia team started very good performance in bowling line for which West Indies team batsmen are not able to bat well. 5 wickets in 16.1 overs.  West Indies batsman Kraigg Brathwaite is out for 1 off 11 balls.Tagenarine Chanderpaul is out for 0 runs off 1 ball.Kirk McKenzie is out for 26 runs off 35 balls.Alick Athanaze is out for 0 runs off 11 balls.Kavem  Hodge was dismissed for 3 runs off 12 balls.
West Indies suffered a setback, losing six wickets, with Justin getting out on the last ball of the session. Josh Hazlewood played a crucial role, taking four wickets and giving Australia a significant advantage. West Indies will need to fight hard in the upcoming sessions, but with six wickets down, Australia is firmly in control of the game.

Another proof that this tournament is loaded with surprises. I raised this concern the other day that the way the competition was going is pointing to the fact that an unexpected team will lift the trophy. It is becoming clearer with this match. Namibia humiliating powerful Tunisia is just too much to take in one day.
I'd still maintain that since this is the opening match for each of them, we'd be seeing such performance. It's as if they are using this starting game to reacquaint themselves with football hence their lackadaisical approach else I felt that this is a game Tunisia of before should have comfortably won.
Quote
Indeed it was a fantastic match with lots of captivating display from both sides. Lloyd Junior Kazapua, the Namibia keeper is definitely the man of the match, he saved the day else Tunisia would have cruised to victory tonight. The 89th minutes header from Hotto was beyond saving and well deserving of a winning goal. Namibia really surprised me when I expected them to be terrified by the mere thought of facing a strong side like Tunisia.


There was nothing fantastic about the way Tunisia played. Of you say Namibia, I would have agreed because they were something else entirely. Even when they lose the ball possession, you'd see them trying to get back. Like their teamwork was great and fluid, no wing suffering more than the other and while Tunisia tried to gain some form of dominance midway into the second half, they still could not beat Namibia. It's like the visitors came fully prepared whereas the home side were busy underestimating them.
Namibia registered their first win at AFCON, outperforming Tunisia in every aspect. It's a fantastic start for Namibia in the African Cup, defeating the strong Eagles of Carthage. Namibia has exceeded expectations, showcasing excellent teamwork. They have a good chance to continue succeeding. On the other hand, Tunisia seemed complacent, thinking it would be an easy victory. However, they failed to elevate their game and are now struggling in the group stage. In today's football, every team needs to exert effort to stay alive.

In the match between Australia and West Indies, WI was expected to don't do well in Australian conditions. Apart from McKenzie, no other batter showed some resistance; in the end, it was a piece of cake for the Aussies bowlers. Hazelwood and Cummins were exceptional with the ball. In response, AUS are 2 down for 59 runs. Smith's outing as an opener was not fruitful, hopefully, he will perform well in the upcoming innings.  This will be an easy win for AUS
Another bonus for the Australians is the fact that they are playing the series on their own turf which is why these are easy points for them and will help them solidify their position in the WTC final later on.

Am not expecting the Windies to win any match, but I hope they don't make it too easy for the Australians.

Aussie bowlers made it look easy, consistently taking wickets and causing trouble for the opposition batsmen. Their impressive stats speak itself, highlighting that Test cricket remains a game dominated by bowlers. This Aussie unit seems unstoppable, and it's expected that they will continue their dominance on their own turf against West Indies as well.

Juventus is having a wonderful moment at home as they are on the lead with 2 goals to nothing against Sassuolo. Vlahovic is a great player and he has being contributing to Juventus victory in most matches as he is always scoring goals. He was the one that scored the two goals to put his club on the lead.
This is a crucial match for Juventus to win because If the game ends just as it is right now then, it means that Juventus will have almost closed up the point gap between them and the league leaders Inter Milan. If Juventus is winning you at home with a score line of 2-0, then consider it a finished, except if they are followed hard luck . The opportunity for Inter Milan to retain the Italian Serie A trophy back to back will become very tiny at the end of this game.
Juventus, this is the time for them to compete because there were a lot of club problems from last season that made them very bad, so it's only natural that Alegri shows that he deserves to compete at the top. Their strongest competitor today is Intermilan who has players who are quite complex in the series. a to gain a dominating force in Serie A. Even though I see that Alegri has the strength to compete, in my opinion it is not complete, because there is often a miscommunication between the players on the field and luckily they have so far been dominant in winning.
Another 3 points confirmed, and Juventus extends their unbeaten streak to 17 games. They're maintaining pressure at the top and emerging as a serious Scudetto threat to Inter Milan. To stay ahead, Inter Milan needs to continue winning games and accumulating points. Juventus' strikers are performing consistently, appearing strong and confident. If they avoid complications, they could very well become the leaders of the league.

Pakistan vs New Zealand
3rd T20I
[......]
ICC competition of New Zealand squad against Pakistan squad, today third match of this match was finished on crease and all three matches won by New Zealand total of Five matches and it's mean that New Zealand squad already win this competition if they lost next two matches. In today, once again New Zealand squad has set a highly challenging defending target against Pakistan squad. In first match, New Zealand squad also collected 226 scores, in second match, New Zealand squad also collected 194 scores. Pakistan squad cleared out all overs and they collected only 174 scores with lost of 7 batters. Babar Azam batter performance in this competition was very fantastic, he displayed incredible performance in all matches. Finn Allen batter was in full form in today match and he collected 137 scores after playing 62 deliveries.

Today one more T20 match will be played India sqaud against Afghanistan squad and I predict that India sqaud easily emerge victory in this match.

New Zealand players have performed well in all three matches. The batsmen were able to deliver decent targets. At the same time, I would say that if the New Zealand bowlers did not perform well, they would not have won. Because the pitch was completely batting friendly. So even with a target of more than 220 there is a chance of defeat unless the bowlers bowl well.

Apart from Babar Azam, none of Pakistan's batsmen batted well in the first three matches. In particular, I would say that the batting of Pakistan's two openers was weak. New Zealand have provided big targets in all three matches. A good partnership between the two openers is very important if you want to win against a big target. Pakistan lost all three matches because of their poor batting.

With three commanding victories, New Zealand has secured the five-match T20I series against Pakistan. Poor batting and fielding have put Pakistan on the back foot in this series so far. In the upcoming matches, Pakistan should consider batting first to assess their position while defending scores.
Babar Azam continues to impress, but unfortunately, this is not a one-man show. Pakistan needs partnerships and support from the other end. In the ongoing series against the BlackCaps, this support is literally nonexistent for him. That's why his 50s are all coming in a losing cause. Without good partnerships from the Pakistan side, its unlikely they turn around the things.

I think it would be really unfair if AS Roma fired Jose Mourinho in the middle of the season. Moreover, Jose Mourinho's performance this season is not too bad, in fact currently AS Roma is ranked 9th even though it is not ideal for a club like Roma to be outside the top five. However, this season Jose Mourinho is faced with difficult conditions because apart from not being able to bring in quality players, he is also faced with many core players who are injured. With the dismissal of Jose Mourinho as AS Roma coach, this is a special note for Mourinho because indeed, in his coaching career at the various clubs he managed, Jose Mourinho never coached a club for more than three seasons, even though he managed to win championships for the clubs he coached.
It was sad to hear the news that Mourinho was fired from As Roma. This is his 6th sacking so that means he will be labeled as a bad manager. He was no longer known as a good manager in 2005. Even though he had many good players such as Dybala, Lukaku, Gini, Matic, Tammy, Patricio, Vina, Pararedes and others. However, As Roma were unable to make changes, they even fell behind Bologna, and currently As Roma is in 9th place. Honestly, looking at these facts, it is natural for As Roma to fire Mourinho.
It must be admitted that Jose Mourinho is one of the most successful coaches in the world of football, he has experienced the atmosphere in different competitions. He also left a good impression on the team he coached by winning the highest title at his club. FC Porto, Inter Milan, Chelsea, Real Madrid have experienced beautiful times while being coached by him. In the last few years he was no longer special because his polish for the team started to fade, several clubs he coached terminated his contract because of the team's poor performance.

The most rational reason for Jose Mourinho dismissal was due to Roma inconsistent performance, even though he had brought in several quality players, he had not been able to make Roma compete in the Champions League zone. Roma patience was no longer limited after they suffered two consecutive defeats to Lazio with a score of 0-1 in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals and to AC Milan with a score of 1-3 in Serie A.


As expected, Roma's performance this season has been disappointing. It's hard to believe that Jose Mourinho, once regarded as the best in the world, faced such challenges. Roma was seen as a top club solely because of him. From my perspective Mourinho did a lot for Roma with limited resources, relying on free-agent players. While the team aims to compete at the top, they opt for loaning players instead of investing in quality ones. The cycle will persist unless they prioritize acquiring talented players.

Sri Lanka are playing like crap at the moment. They are self-destructing since they already lost 3 wickets for 20 runs which is embarassing considering the fact that their opponent is Zimbabwe.

Looks like the underdog could end up winning the second T-20 as long as they continue putting pressure on the Lankans in this manner.
Although Sri Lanka were under a lot of pressure early on but Angela Mathews and Asalanka are trying to increase the score for Sri Lanka. However, Sri Lanka is trying to play a bit more aggressively after 10 overs. So far 78 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 13 overs without the fall of any more wickets. But with Angela Mathews facing the number of balls in a defensive mood, it's time for her to play an aggressive innings. Angela Mathews remains unbeaten on 20 off 32 balls while Asalanka remains unbeaten on 35 off 27 balls.
Sri Lanka are playing very well and have scored 145 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 17 overs.  This time P nissanka  and K perera  did not perform well with the bat and were dismissed for zero runs. Now C Asalanka  and Mathews are playing batting. Asalanka are playing well he made 69 run in just 38 balls they complete hafl century If Asalanka continues to perform like this, I hope he can give a target of 170 run plus which will be a very tough target for Zimbabwe.

Asalanka and Mathews showcased their skills in the match. Asalanka scored 69 runs off 39 balls, while Mathews unbeaten with 66 runs off 51 balls. Angelo Mathews played a crucial innings, lifting Sri Lanka to a solid total. Mathews has been a key player in the last matches and continued to carry the team's burden today. Without the impressive performances from Asalanka and Mathews, Sri Lanka might have struggled to reach even 100 runs.
Their comeback innings has set up Sri Lanka well with a total of 173/6, which should be sufficient to confirm the series tonight.

I think the Super Eagles will make us start counting points if they'd qualify from the group stage. Next game would be against the host nation and I don't see that encounter going down that easy for the Eagles, the host wouldn't want to drop points in that group. With how have seen the Eagles play I don't see them topping that group that's if they continue with the way they played against Equatorial Guinea, some would say is just one game but 1 game and 3 point can cost a team to qualify from the group stage, so Ivory Coast are going to do anything possible to win that game against the Eagles.
Equatorial Guinea goalkeeper stood out in this match. Unfortunately, the Super Eagles of Nigeria had a subpar performance. It's disheartening to witness a strong team like Nigeria struggle against weaker opponents. I hope they improve as the tournament continues, but based on their current performance, my confidence is low. Nigeria played well but missed some crucial chances that proved costly. In the next match, they should learn from their mistakes and aim for a win against Ivory Coast.
