Yup and why would Chelsea sell him for just for 8m GBP in the first place if the club's doctors didn't see anything wrong with him?  I mean I get it, Chelsea needs to dispose around half of their over manned team asap but I don't think they'd sell somebody who's prolly worth, let's say, 20m for just 8m.  :/

Here's match day 1...

https://www.flashscore.com/football/england/premier-league/fixtures/

First match of the season, the master vs the learner.  Grin  Guardiola vs Kompany.  Rooting for Burnley on this one.  They had a great season in the Championship.  Hope to see them survive their first season in back the EPL.

@tokeweed first and foremost they want to raise money for other signings and secondly keeping a player who’s not going to be used makes no sense hence Chelsea are trying to sell him. Also you really expect Burnley to defeat Manchester City then you’ll be surely disappointed because I sincerely doubt that City will lose that to their first game of the season.

That was such boring race that I don't even know what to say. Basically, we had fight for the 1st place until 1st corner on first lap. Good to see Perez back on podium. And what is really worth attention - progress than Mclaren is making in recent races, just remember how they looked in start of season.
Next week race in Belgium Spa track, last one before summer break.


Yeah it was quite a boring race because again and again RBR dominates the race with their latest upgrade. Ferrari also seems to be back to their usual, less competitive and tends to fall apart when it comes to strategy. But indeed what I am quite happy about is how Perez was able to return to the podium and he seemed very happy for that, it seems that the RBR team still has hope for Perez. And it seems that the rookie of the year goes to Piastri and Norris, it is very interesting to see how these two young drivers have become very competitive after the Bahrain GP, McLaren seems very proud to have them.

@retreat indeed it was an boring race and I’m hoping in the next race things get little heated up because races like these kill the fun of watching this sport. Furthermore I’m surprised people yet have hopes from Ferrari because season after season they have just disappointed and now I no longer am surprised when they fail to perform because I have totally given up on them.

Well, that's a win and lose situation for PSG. The club will not able to get money if mbappe will be leaving with free agent. It's dilemma for PSG and the best choice to sell him. as soon as possible and getting some money that can be used to buy the players again. Since mbappe has been refusing to extend his contract and PSG had no choice now. PSG has been also identifying if mbappe has been making personal agreement with real madrid for next year. It's a big lost for PSG if the player gonna leave from madrid with free agent. PSG doesn't even want it. We shall wait what's gonna be further development from his drama with PSG. My guess if there will be clubs that send him offer but not as big as PSG wanted.
What price asked by PSG is too much for the football club. It's PSG's fault to bought him with non sense price like that. The club feels how hard is to selling him right now. The only time can tell us.
After declaring that he did not want to renew, Mbappe was no longer part of PSG's plans. They also confirmed they would sell him. But PSG's transfer plan encounters obstacles. As far as I know, the PSG club cannot sell Mbappe if he disagrees. Mbappe finds it hard to accept for PSG to sell him. Because that also means he doesn't get 80 million euros in loyalty bonuses. In addition, leaving PSG at this time also prevents Mbappe from receiving a contract bonus from the club that signed him on free form next year. Mbappe's calculation is also a big obstacle for any club that wants him.
PSG is no longer negotiating. They decided to exclude Mbappe from the Asia tour and pressured him to accept the transfer. Tensions between PSG and Mbappe are increasing.
discussing the problems related to PSG and Mbappe will indeed be endless and the closer to the closing of the transfer window it gets more complicated. if I become a PSG official I will more comply with what Mbappe wants I mean if he wants to leave PSG just do what he wants. because at the moment PSG is too focused on the Mbappe problem to the point where they don't have time to think about how to increase the strength in every arrangement in this PSG team.
so instead of thinking about endless problems it's better to let go of those problems. because PSG is currently known as a team that is very rich and needs reliable player or coach to be able to achieve their dreams in the champions league and getting some new, more reliable players will be better than continuing to press on the Mbappe problem.
to be honest, every day we always talk about Mbappe uncertain transfers and PSG definitely have to put more pressure on definite rules or policies not to press the problem so that it will be over soon and PSG will soon get their best player again.

@len01 this is one saga that neither parties should have encouraged yet they’re making a public scene and this is probably going to derail PSG season so I’m waiting to see who’ll back off first. Furthermore if PSG can’t sell him and waste him on the bench then it’s one of the biggest financial mistake of all time because he’ll be taking home lots of money for doing nothing hence PSG should slash their price and sell him off quickly.
504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: July 23, 2023, 05:47:10 AM
Manchester United have not made any quality signings at the moment,but they are looking at some some possible options to improve their front line,because they don't really have an aggressive nine(9) that can score upto 29 goals in a season,and I believe they are looking towards improving that position in the team.Ten Hag have succeeded in making Rashfored sign a new contract at Manchester United,all he needs now is some quality signings that will improve the team.He has been looking at the possibility of signing Harry Kane,but it seems Kane is one the verge of joining  Bayern for a record fee that is believed to be in the region of 100 million Euros despite his age.United will really need to strengthen their squad in other to compete for a team like Arsenal and Necastle next season because if they don't,they will find themselves below top four.

Let's hope to see if Hen Tag is to make some new signings or he is contented with the way his current squad is,but I think he needs to stret his midfield again,and add like two more signings to his front line.
With so many quality players at Manchester United, in the coming season they should be ready to try to win in the Premier League next season, 100 million Euros is a lot of money, therefore Manchester United must have a good strategy to keep winning in the coming season.
Yes, after seeing several pre-season matches held by Man United. I feel that the squad built by Erik Ten Heg is strong enough, but I agree that Man United still needs additional players for the attack line. Because I still see that Man United's weakness since last season is in the accuracy of their attacks. There are always too many opportunities that they fail to take advantage of. For the back line and midfield I think it is quite balanced but for the attack line I think Rashford needs a friend there who can together become the spearhead in every attack that is built.

But Man United is still lucky because they have quite an aggressive attacking midfielder like Bruno Fernandes. This young Portuguese player I think always works hard to balance between midfield and attack. But because he was always working too hard, his stamina always decreased in the second half. And that's when Man United's weaknesses began to appear in the attack line.
Man United has a transfer budget of £ 170 million this season. Even though they have spent £60m on Jason Mount and £47m for Onana, I think Man United can still get a good striker with the rest of their budget. Moreover, if Man United successful in selling their players (such as Maguire, Sancho, Fred, McTominay and Elanga) then Man United will get boosted fresh funds which can be used to strengthen their squad this season.

It is possible that Man United can tempt PSG regarding the signing of Mbappe because PSG won't get anything if they aren't willing to let him go in the current transfer window, and most likely PSG can't peg Mbappe with a fantastic value because Mbappe will be a free agent next summer (Mbappe refused to sign the contract extension offered by PSG).

There are indeed rumors that Mbappe has already agreed to join Real Madrid as a free agent next summer, but I think PSG will do whatever it takes so they can sell Mbappe this season and get some money out of it.

@abhiseshakana I don’t think that Manchester United will target him because he’s selfish and will upset the balance at the club hence I hope that they don’t sign him. Also while we lack a striker look at what we did to Arsenal yesterday despite their main star’s playing Manchester United yet managed to defeat them and I feel that Sancho will be converted into a striker if the club fail to buy a striker during this transfer window.

Looks like me and iv4n are competing for the most stored WoF spins lol. I was telling myself I would save it for the coming Lambo draw so by then I should have around 3000 spins (now is 2500+) but I will feel very tempted to use them if BTC drops below 20k again.

Either option is great as it would be a huge lottery boost too. In fact, might also wait for a big lotto round Smiley
I think collecting WOF rounds is really fun too, but I can't help it because my hands always itch to play it, so I never manage to collect it when I get WOF I always play it even though it never generates big prizes. I think there's no problem as long as it's free just because I'm a VIP member holding FUN.

I don't think if you spin 3k at once later will you get a big prize one of them, but if you get an RP or lottery ticket maybe it will also be valuable to get a prize and be able to exchange it for bitcoin, at least if you get thousands of satoshi from each WOF round it will be even better, it's true that when you play when the bitcoin price is below $ 20k it will be more profitable, but unfortunately bitcoin will not touch below $ 20k again. I hope you find WOF's greatest gift and share it in this thread.  Grin

@piebeyb I too can’t stop to spin those WoF spins so I’m really surprised that @slaman29 and others are able to hold on to it for such a long time and to be honest I feel that it’s a smart move too. @slaman29 if BTC slips below 20k then you’ll be really spoiled for choices but let’s hope that the prices remain stable and don’t crash too much also because it keeps breaching below the $30k mark again and again so we never know if it’ll sustain or it’ll crash.

Stake hunts multi-account owners as far as I know, that is why many people who have created more than 1 account get low bonuses. Monthly bonuses should consider the base amount per VIP but that rules has been removed months ago. Regarding the weekly bonuses, now they count the house edge factor of the most wagered game. The more you wager on originals the less bonus you will get, everything depends on the house edge factor on new VIP bonus system.

I know some users create more than one account they take advantage of bonus codes given by streamers you know for every new user who qualifies they will get up to $35 reload bonus this is one of the reasons why they create multiple accounts. We don't know who to blame, maybe disabling the invite code bonus could be a solution lol.

You are right house edge is the main factor for determining our bonus, original games only contribute 1% revenue for stake.com and we will get 15-25% for $10000 wagered Stake.com gets $100 fee as a player we will earn $15-25 well this amount will be divided into several categories rakeback , weekly and monthly bonuses. The calculation will be different if you play a game from a third party the bonus is 4-5 times higher especially for slot games.
They have changed the bonus system since last Christmas and now many high-roller VIP users are not satisfied with the current bonus mechanism, IMHO. Multiple accounts are detected by their system, as you can see so many users get very low monthly bonuses like a $5 monthly coupon for plat 2 users.

I think their multi account detection is not flawless. Many of the accused players say they only have this 1 account they are playing with.There have been many complaints in the stake forum, many of them sound genuine and also a little bit desperate Sad .
If it's true what they say, nobody knows, but I think stake also makes mistakes.

I on the other hand, know several people that have 2-3 accounts at stake, and none of them is being blocked from promotions. Last monthly was normal for them, for all accounts. So obviously they are not detected, or at least not yet.  Grin



There are no concrete methods to find out which accounts abuse the bonus system, as you explained it is not flawless. Many promotions have been declined on some accounts and the support team has asked for additional KYC verification to let these users claim the promo coupon. Well, they don't disclose information how this system works.

@seleme I personally believe that Stake detection methods are improving and they’ll continue to improve hence people should voluntarily give up their other accounts and come clean or just stop using them because such actions hurt casinos and we don’t want anything to happen to Stake. Furthermore if people are aware of other people alt accounts then they should contact Stake with proof and help them ban these accounts so we all can continue receiving amazing benefits from Stake.
507  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀-Sportsbet.io-🚀 - Main sponsor of Southampton FC 👋👋 on: July 22, 2023, 04:11:52 AM
I agree with above. Front shirt sponsor is nice, and that has the biggest visibility BUT not neccessary. As it was with Arsenal, SB can jus seek for a main sponsorship (or major partner) which is great as well and even more visible during matches on billboards.

I think any club they get will be a great one.

I saw someone ask fr Monaco, that would be reaaly cool too!
It's not necessary to have any sponsorship at all, you do not have to do anything if you do not want to and if they do not have enough money to spare then they shouldn't do it at all.

However, we need to also realize that it's not easy neither to grow without any big marketing budget. In this case we have seen some competition keep on sponsoring everything they can find, which makes it obvious that they are spending some good money, if sportsbet.io wants to catch that and if possible pass that, then they need to spend some decent amount of money, millions to be exact, and front jersey would be a good way to start that.

No need to do it on Arsenal or any other big club, just do it on some smaller level team as long as it's there, and they can do any other sponsorship too, just make sure it's there, that's only thing that matters.

@Webetcoins while everyone is chasing football team’s to get more viewership I feel that Sportsbet should target CTV advertising as this audience is more likely to convert into long term user’s. Furthermore CTV is a gold mine for advertisement and it’ll be done at a fraction of a cost then sponsoring a football club hence I feel that they should seriously consider spending their funds there.
508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: July 21, 2023, 01:40:20 PM
Financial problems still persist. They sent Lionel Messi out of the team in his most productive period due to lack of money. They wanted to buy him again this year, but I think they were struggling again economically. In return, we now see that Saudi Arabian teams are literally throwing money.
Barcleona is also facing the same trouble when the club wanna sign bernardo silva from manchester city. Barcelona was preparing swap transfer which will be involving de jong as an agreement to swap him with bernardo silva. The financial problem has become the main problem that was limiting barcelona to do various things in the market. Barcelona was not even raising 200 millions to balancing its financial. Barcelona is not profitable anymore. The club has sold so many shares. Barcelona is not having a way to raise money other than selling its players. Now, the problem is that many players who have been listed for sale have already refused to be sold to another club..
Fortunately, Barcelona has many players with potential from the young players they have, but they also have good senior players who provide their experience to help young players play with a good mentality, so they can reduce the number of new players they bring in, and some of the new players they bring in are indeed players needed in the team, so it is a successful transfer. Just say Lewandowski last season, and now Gundogan.
It will be a long time before Barcelona become financially sound, unless they sell to an Arab sultan for example.

@Jody.Drummer Barcelona won’t sell because even Sir Jim Ratcliffe tried to buy it but he failed and he clearly gave detailed explanations as to why Barcelona were in this mess. Furthermore Xavi did a wonderful job last season but to maintain momentum he’ll need some more player’s but whether he gets them or not is yet up for debate given Barcelona’s financial mess.
509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 21, 2023, 09:40:14 AM
Milan's performance was really interesting in the Champions League unlike the Serie A. They eliminated Napoli as well indeed and it is thanks to their experience in this tournament too. Because technically Napoli were the better playing side in that matchup but Milan still found a way to get past them. Reaching the semi finals there was definitely a success for Milan.

But on the other hand they might not have been able to qualify for the Champions League again if it weren't for Juventus' 10-point punishment. Juventus were going to take their place in that case. Milan should make a good improvement in their Serie A performance this time.
It is true that Ac Milan has had the good fortune of deducting Juventus points, if there is no point deduction it is difficult for Milan to compete for a place in the Champions League Zone next season. So far Milan seems to have improved a lot to recruit several new players such as Loftus Cheek and Cristian Pulisic, although it is reported that they have internal problems with the dismissal of Maldini. Their own legend in the management chair has not stopped their steps from improving the squad.

Milan mentality in the Champions League is above any other club in Serie A, they have triumphed with Ancelotti in the 2005 period. They are the club from Italy who have won the Champions League the most, beating Juventus and Inter Milan.

@marcous it seems that Milan has learnt it’s lesson and they have spend wisely during this transfer window and these new recruits should definitely help them succeed in this league. Further I’m very excited to see Pulisic on the field because so far at Chelsea he wasn’t performing that well and now I hope that he can rediscover his form and go on to become a legendary player at Milan.

Dortmund strategy of using player resale to achieve financial success is debatable and some may think it takes away from the spirit of the game. But there is no denying that their approach has paid off enabling them to challenge Bayern Munich for first place. Dortmund inclusion among the contenders brings an intriguing dynamic to the football environment even though many supporters desire teams who put sporting success before financial success. It will be interesting to observe how other teams respond to the changing landscape of the game as they attempt to challenge Bayern hegemony and possibly shift Dortmund standing.
Many good players have been created at Dortmund, and it has become a natural thing when Dortmund is called a selling club because, basically, when Dortmund manages to score good players, many other clubs will be targeted by other clubs, for example when Erling Haaland was still at Dortmund. and bought by Manchester City. If Bayern Munich wants to improve their playing conditions on the field, then they really have to try to get good players at a young age from Dortmund.

In the past, they managed to get a lot of players from Dortmund. Even a Bayern Munich legend like Lewandowski has Borussia Dortmund in his past. Borussia Dortmund is one of the world's leading teams in finding great players. Bayern can take this side of them as an example.

@Hvdv Bayern doesn’t really focus on grooming player’s rather they always like shopping from Dortmund and in the past it was really bizarre to see Dortmund sell to their closet competitor and had they not sold their best player’s to Bayern then I’m that they would have won many title’s till now. Furthermore in the absence of Jude it’ll be interesting to see if they can yet compete because I have a feeling that their performance will deteriorate and they’ll struggle to finish in the top 4 too.

Tottenham is a club with no ambition for the Premier League title. If the management of the club change hands then maybe there would be some hope for them to be more competitive than this. But considering their current situation I believe they don't deserve to have a world star player like Kane in their squad.

However Kane has never been this serious to leave the club either. He just looked comfortable with his position there. Of course the club is worshipping him due to his incredible performance so far. But players like Kane shouldn't waste their time at such clubs. They should immediately leave for a competitive club.

@CLS63 Kane was very serious about leaving last year and he even refused to train but in the end he realised that Levy was never going to let him go and City ended up purchasing Haaland which is why he had to stick with Tottenham during the last season. However now he has the ultimate opportunity to escape with Bayern waiting for him and I hope that he puts in a transfer request and goes on to win some trophies with Bayern.
512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: July 20, 2023, 09:36:14 AM
I have to admit that it all makes no sense to me anymore.
Once upon a time, we had world cups with only 16 national teams and only 1 host.
In a few years we will have a world cup with 48 national teams and 3 hosts, and I would not be surprised if in 2030 FIFA organizes a world cup with 64 national teams and 4 hosts.
Obviously, FIFA no longer cares about football but only about making money, so maybe in 20 or 30 years we won't have qualifications for the World Cup at all because all the national teams of the world will have the right to participate  Grin
I'm almost certain we'll have a world cup every 2 years soon.
All together this no longer makes sense.

Based on Wikipedia, the current number of countries is 194 countries. It is inconceivable if finally, FIFA continues to increase the number of World Cup participants, meaning that there is no more pride for countries that qualify because their chances are even greater and competition is very likely to be less competitive.
It has been debated that FIFA is becoming an organization with a money orientation rather than developing football properly, unfortunately, there is not much that can be done and when they make many changes that focus on getting more money, many countries still desire to be the organizer of the world cup so they don't mind even though they are seen being used because being able to play in the World Cup until now is a pride for many national teams, especially when they understand that the opportunity to get it is difficult if they have to go through qualification, so the shortcut is to become a host by investing a lot of money.

Even if we have 194 counties in the world in some countries they don't have football at all or in some other countries football is not a priority and they pay more attention to other sports, I think increasing the number of teams can have bad effects because we can see more countries in the world cup we should not normally see them, more week team in world cup means lowering the quality.


@Leviathan.007 every sport organisation is trying to milk the maximum money they can and thus FIfA is no different then other sport organisations who’re too trying to get maximum money they can from their respective sports eg ICC. Furthermore if FIFA World Cup is held every two year’s then most player’s will quit playing national football as it’ll increase their work load and the excitement of winning the World Cup will end.

It's true what you said, in fact most of the players in the French National Team are naturalized from other countries. Personally, the egoism that is shown is not based on the origin of the player but rather on his star status at club level and individual fan base. The role of the coach and seniority is very important to reduce the attitude of fellow players on the field so that the final goal is to win the match. Didier Deschamps' squad in the Euro 2024 qualifiers was mostly made up of young players overall, otherwise only Giroud and Griezmann are over 30+.

Specifically, I would say that a player who is selfish above the average other players in the French squad is Mbappe, yes, I think it's natural because he is the main focus of the team. Maybe he will become a permanent captain to replace the role of Hugo Lloris who retired from the national team.

Most of the French players are born and brought up in France, and only a few are naturalized (although majority are of immigrant origin). So I don't think that it is an issue. I haven't noticed any team bonding issues with teams like England and Netherlands, although they are also having mostly immigrant squads. I am disappointed that despite having so many great players, France fails to perform well at major tournaments. They reached the final of 2022 Qatar world, but in the end it was a meek surrender to Lionel Messi's Argentina.

@Sithara007 French failed because they were not entirely united and failed to get Benzema back in time even when he was cleared to participate due to reasons unknown to us. Furthermore Mbappe will definitely be dominating the French squad and even the coach clearly supports him but I’m waiting to see if Pogba returns will the squad be divided or they’ll continue to support Mbappe for the captain band.

Most of the young players of Bangladesh might've got inspired by him. As we say Tendulkar as the God of cricket, Shakib Al Hasan is a person who had to be praised for what he had done for the Bangladesh cricket. There'll be issues between the players and the cricket board. His ban for the reason of making deal with a gambling firm have received warnings earlier. As said by @Sithara007 here we can't blame anyone. He's near his retirement, before retiring he needs to be given opportunity in all formats of cricket.

The one-year ban handed out to him was unfair, IMO. There is a lot of involvement from bookies in the IPL, and even franchise owners were involved in fixing matches. But in the end, only two people got punishment for their role - Sreesanth and Shakib. And no proof was found against these two players and they were acquitted by the court. During the investment process, BCB never offered any sort of support for Shakib. Anyway, now he is well past his prime and the management need to make sure that younger players are able to replace him in the near future.

@Sithara007 I’m not surprised that BCB didn’t offer him any support but yet he kept his cool and decided to play for his country which is commendable. Furthermore you’re right BCB should start moulding player’s who can learn from him while he’s around and then replace him when he retires which I believe will be pretty soon as I doubt he can continue for more then a year or two.

The match between nassr vs celta vigo already ended last night. Ronaldo club being humiliated by celta vigo. Celta vigo was destroying al nassr with 5-0 as the final score.

Quote
Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr were on the receiving end of a 5-0 thumping in his first pre-season friendly this summer, as they lost to Celta Vigo on Monday night.

Ronaldo played 45 minutes of the match, which saw Marcelo Brozovic make his debut for the Saudi Pro League side. The first half was a goalless draw, but it all fell apart when Celta Vigo opened the floodgates after the break in Faro.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12308627/Cristiano-Ronaldos-Al-Nassr-spanked-5-0-Celta-Vigo-pre-season-friendly-saw-Marcelo-Brozovic-make-debut-Saudi-club.html

It was not surprising me. The fact that if football was a game for 11 players. it's not only 1-2 players in the club. It seems like that al nassr needs to buy more european player.
That being said that if a few good players are still nothing. The team gonna be good if al nassr will buy more european club.

GGWP for al nassr. There must be so many improvements to be made before the first match against ettifaq.

X-ray they need to add quality player’s because Ronaldo is a big brand I get that but on the pitch he won’t be off much help hence they need to add player’s that can score lots of goals and make the team stronger. Furthermore I was expecting Ronaldo to leave but he’s declared that he’s staying back and it looks likes that the end of his European career.

Both Nepal and United Arab Emirates are playing their last match in ACC Men's Emerging Cup today. So far both the teams have disappointed the fans with their performance. For today's match Nepal managed to bowl out United Arab Emirates for a total of 157 runs. Apart from Lovepreet Singh, none of the UAE batsmen scored more than 20 runs, while for Nepal Kushal Bhurtel returned figures of 10-0-40-6. Sandeep Lamichhane is not part of the playing XI, and I don't know the reason for that. In return, Nepal has scored 8/1 after 1 over. Arjun Saud got out in the very first ball, to the bowling of Muhammad Jawadullah.

@Sithara007 UAE player’s could have definitely scored more so I’m not sure why did they surrender the match so easily when all they had to do was stay in the middle and keep rotating the strike. Furthermore Nepal are having a slow but steady start as they have scored just 9 runs in two overs and despite losing one wicket I feel that they’ll easily win this game if they manage to build some partnerships.

While I am no fan of Djokovic, I think he still got chances to win 2 or 3 more grand slams. Alcaraz is the new kid on the block but it doesn’t mean that Djokovic stands no chance anymore.
Novak Djokovic is ranked second in singles by the ATP. After his defeats at Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic becomes the man with the most grand slam final losses; nonetheless, Carlos Alcarez may still consider him to be the finest opponent he has faced in the sport, it was difficult to watch. Djokovic is getting older, and I don't see him producing at his best any more; all he needs is time to rethink his strategy and move on with his career; this is not the end. He has further greater heights to go, but the truth is that this period belongs to the rising stars, and Carlos Alcarez is a probable star right now.

@borovichok Djokovic will definitely win one or two more time’s before he fades away and it’s quiet natural for that to happen in this sport but if anyone feels that he’s already over then they’re clearly mistaken. Furthermore he’ll recover from this loss and he’ll come out even stronger as he always does hence I yet believe in him and wish that he continues to amaze us with his performances.

I'm wondering what Manchester United will do in the Champions League this time. They couldn't join the Champions League last season and their achievement in the 2021/22 season was to qualify for last 16. At least a similar achievement would be expected from them I guess. Because they have made a really good progress with Erik ten Hag so far.

His system is working really well for now and they are trying to support this by new transfers. Mount has been signed and the Onana deal is also about to be completed. Rashford has also signed a new contract with them finally which lasts until 2028. It is important for them as well because it was going to be his last year otherwise.

Rashford is a crucial player for them to be successful and they should focus on not losing such players as well.

The draw of the playoff rounds will decide everything (which they should get into without any problems) - they can go far if they come across regular teams, but can end their participation in the tournament if they get one of the top ones right away in 1/8. I hope that at least in the group stage they will perform confidently and I will not lose a lot of points on them, as it was in the last Premier League pool.

@KTChampions Manchester United have finally secured their keeper and his experience of playing in the champions league finals will help them a lot hence I now expect them to compete harder in the champions league. @CL563 who told Rashford is leaving because he’s close to agreeing a new deal and last season he rejected PSG offers hence I’m sure that he’ll stay at the club and continue scoring lots of goal’s.

Pakistan is now trail by 12 runs only. The partnership between Saud Shakeel and Salman Ali Agha was broken by 172 runs a game-changer partnership. Agha is out with a score of 83 runs wicket taken by Ramesh Mendis. But Suod Shakeel amazing scored a hundred a well deserved century and played at 112 runs not out. A lovely player he is he plays 6 text match and in every match, he score fifty. Sirlinka bowler does not do well today I think the pitch is now a fever of the batting side. However Pakistan better speciality Saud Shakeel and Agha played well and continue after the wicket of Agha, Noman Ali come and played at 7 not out. The current score of Pakistan is 300 by loss of 6 wickets. I think Pakistan will give a lead of 100 plus runs that a challenge for Sirlinka.
Pakistan managed to take the lead. Before the lunch break, they managed to collect 313 runs with the loss of 6 wickets. Although Agha Salman failed to score a century, Saud Shakeel is still unbeaten with 119 runs. Apart from Saud Shakeel now Noman Ali is batting very responsibly. He is unbeaten with 13 runs off 49 balls. If Saud Shakeel is at the crease, Pakistan will take a lead of at least 100 runs. I will say if Pakistan can take more than 150 lead today then Pakistan will win this match. It will be difficult for both teams to score runs on this pitch in the second innings.
Salman Ali Agha Missed His Well Deserved Hundred By Just 17 Runs Some 80s Are Better than a Hundred Pakistan is now lead by 43 runs Saud Shakeel played amazingly at 135 runs unbeaten while Naseem Shah is playing dots only. Pakistan 355 runs in a loss of 8 wickets Sirlinkan Spineer was unable to pick lower order wickets too fast. I think if Saud played Aggressive shorts lead will be 100 plus that an enough to make a pressure on Sirlinka's batter to win this match. Ramesh Mendis pick 2 wickets today Agha and Noman Ali although the quality spin blower of Sirlinka Prabath Jayasuriya does not pick any wickets today let's see how many runs leads are given by Pakistan to Sirlinka.

The Sri Lankan bowler's performance is not good today. Sri Lankan bowlers are not able to take the wickets of Pakistan's lower order. And slowly Pakistan team is moving towards a big collection. Now Pakistan's total is 381/8. Naseem Shah is providing excellent support to Saud Shakeel. Saud Shakeel remains unbeaten with 154 runs. On the other hand, Naseem Shah collected only 1 run off 25 balls. Pakistan has already got 35 runs from this pair. Pakistan has taken a lead of 69 runs. This is a very good collection. If the Pakistani bowlers can bowl controlled in the next innings, the chances of Pakistan winning are high.

@kro55 if Srilankan bowler’s do not dismiss these two then Pakistan will comfortably take a huge lead hence post the break the Srilankan bowler’s need to come up with a new plan to save this match. Also if Pakistan manage to take a lead of 150+ then it’ll be very difficult for Srilanka to give them a big target and thus at the moment it looks like Pakistan will win this game quiet easily.

Has their record buy £105 million midfielder Declan Rice got the temperament to live up to such a big price tag? In my opinion he was not worth more than £50 million but he became the Arsenal record buy. If Rice fails in his role and if Arsenal do not get off to a good start then it could be the beginning of the end for their manager Arteta.

West Ham United have received a phenomenal amount of money for Rice, they should go out and spend it wisely. They would like to avoid a relegation battle and try to finish in the top half therefore if they are careful with their new recruits they will challenge for the Europa League again as well as the two domestic cup competitions.

@JollyGood I disagree about Rice valuation because he was clearly worth $80 million at least but I’ll agree that Arsenal did pay extra to get him. Furthermore he’ll definitely be a instant hit because while West Ham flopped last season he was terrific whenever he had the ball and I was praying that Manchester United get him because he’s an player that can improve any team so I’m 100% confident that he won’t flop while playing for Arsenal.
