Pretty impressively, despite the excellent performance of PSG, which lost only 2 points out of 27 possible, as many as two teams stay one game away (three points).
And I also wonder how Mbappe perceives the success of Haaland. At the moment, Mbappe is not showing anything special and is on a par with Neymar in terms of goals scored, while Haaland is showing a great game. I wonder if Mbappe realizes that at such a pace the Ballon D'ors will float away from him, will it hurt his psyche? As already seen, he is morbidly ambitious and jealous. This could harm both him and the entire PSG.

Udinese may be eyeing victory in this match because if successful then Udinese will be ranked 3rd in the standings. I don't doubt Udinese's good performance later, but Verona will also try their best to fight for the 3 points in this match. Considering Verona's defense is not good, then I think they will concede a lot of goals in this match against Udinese.

We are at half-time now and juventus are already leading with one goal. As we all know Bologna is a weaker team compared to Juventus, but considering the poor form of Juventus in their last few matches they’ll go all in to get a three point today against them. There attacking is encouraging so far, if they keep up with this tempo to the end of the match there definitely get a 3 point today.

Yeah they will be hoping to win here as Barca are also going head to head with them on the table. Real Madrid also have their game in CL so they also might not wanna push here in their La Liga match. They have too much quality in their squad and they can easily handle a side like Osasuna. About Osasuna form, they have been playing quite well defensively and are holding onto lead so that's how they are gathering up points on the table.

Juventus have no win in the last 5 games and have won only 2 games of 10. Now they have a game against Bologna, which they will win easily if things go normally. There is something very positive at Bologna, a new coach: Thiago Motta. And Arnautovic is currently the best goal scorer in Serie A at Bologna.

But in this match I will be in Lens.
Currently, Lyon's condition is still not good, especially with their 3 defeats in a row.
Even though in terms of team strength they can be said to be balanced but in terms of performance it is clear that Lens is better at this time so even though it's still at risk I will still be at Lens in this match.

South Africa fought hard for the target of 238 runs given by India and lost the match by 16 runs. David Miller's willow for South Africa was excellent. Miller's willow came from 106* runs from 47 balls at a strike rate of 225.53. The achievement is possible due to the fighting spirit. As seen in the Indian batsmen.  The match ended with a bone-to-neck fight and the match was enjoyable

When there are no fixtures scheduled then it's bound to happen, for some time this happened with the ODI thread too so nothing wrong with that.

Test cricket won't die among fans as long as BIG-3 takes this format seriously. ENG and AUS won't see any decline in this format anytime soon and for India just look at a hike on Eng/Aus cricket rights deal for the Indian market, it shows the fan base is increasing and not the other way around.

Even if Lewandowski stayed at Bayern, it would not change the problem that the club would be forced to deal with the problem of his departure. Well, if he left a year or two later (due to age) - I don’t see any fundamental differences. Top clubs solve the problem of leaving their stars in advance, for example, Real got rid of Ronaldo long before he passed his peak (or at least an acceptable level of play to be in Real) and nothing tragic happened to Real.
But of course it's funny that everything is shaping up so that in the end Ronaldo can be the savior of Bayern in the winter.

Arsenal have come to a stage in this season where their faith will be put to test and if care is not taken Tottenham will give asernal a run off this season before their face bigger clubs like Manchester City in October.
The premiere league is approaching a stage were those clubs that seem to be performing in the early stage will face stronger team because the competition is getting intense.

The good news is that when players like Messi, Neymar return to a more satisfying game. But I'm still a little disappointed with Mbappe, because he always shows a selfish attitude. This is a fundamental problem for him, I think he will be able to play better if he gets rid of that negative side.
Change after change has been seen in the Paris Saint Germain squad now. But they will also get a balanced opponent in the Champions League.

Juventus are not looking like a big team, their performance continues to decline despite having strengthened the team in the transfer market. The best decision must be taken immediately to save Juventus from being too down in the standings list. The people within Juventus must find solutions to the problems at hand, in this situation the coach is at the core of the decline in the quality of Juventus. I think finding a replacement for Allegri will be the best solution to improve the quality of Juventus so they can compete again in the top four standings.

You got the real point, which is being consistent on the long run and being consistent on the long run is caused by only one thing, which is having a good club depth. When you check Manchester City squad and realise that a player like Grealish may not be categorised as a first team player, you will understand how good Manchester City is.
Even if Haaland is injured today, City will confidently play matches and will still win and a player will still be able to get a hatrick

Yes it will not be too much of a problem when they face Mallorca, but it will be a different story when they play in the Champions League. Although Inter Milan are currently in a bad shape, but that does not reduce that they will remain a threat, especially if Barcelona have to lose some of their core players.
Xavi built Barcelona from a bad start, I'm sure he's put in the right players if his starting lineup isn't available. Moreover, Xavi kept many of the players that Barcelona needed in the transfer market last summer.

Well, it's no secret to anyone that we always see PSG as one of the top teams in the French League, but they don't show the football they should, with a team with such a high number of stars, it's for them to have won the UCL, and they didn't, so this is an index that they lack a lot as a team, Real Madrid, which is a team that has veteran stars and beat an Mbappé in the prime of his life, a veteran Messi who can win up to a World Cup, next to a Neymar who can do whatever he wants on the pitch, this is something that PSG leaves a bad taste in the mouth of its fans, we have to wait, one thing is the French league, another is the UCL.

He surely is a good coach, but if his play tactics don't work anymore then he surely needs to change it and let the team play at their own position that they are used to playing, you can not force Sadio Mane into a position that he is not very familiar with, it works on the 1st game, then why isn't working on the later games, I think Nagelsmann is questioning Sadio Mane this, but Sadio Mane has a tendency that he of making mistakes when he is not very familiar with his plays,

Pakistani management not taking this series seriously just because of this they are going with mostly average bowlers and England batting lineup taking good advantage of this as in last two matches they already approach figure of 200 which is unusual for Pakistani bowling but with batting pitches they are doing good job and punishing these new bowlers badly specially in today match Shahnawaz Dhani and Mohammad Hasnain under fire from visitors.

With figure of 220 surely Pakistani batting were under pressure, and they lost early wickets very quickly which helps English team for bouncing back into this series with good bang now we have fourth match final match in Karachi on 25 September hopefully this series first phase ends on positive note for Pakistan and both teams will travel to Lahore with the score of 2 - 2.

Based on Bayern's results - they are not that bad, especially the beginning of the season was crazy when it became clear that they can score goals even without Robert Lewandowski... Now after such a great start Bayern have slowed down a bit because they also have to play in Champions League... But I still think they are in great shape!

The problem with Serie A teams since the last few seasons is consistency, and for now there are still many who doubt that Udinese will be able to be consistent until the end of the season.
but in this way and if you look at the quality of the Serie A teams this season, I think it is inevitable that Serie A will be more competitive and fierce this season, and that will make it even more interesting with many teams competing for the Scudetto.

Not only he made a big mistake by turning down that offer, but he is also making mistake now coming back as well. This team is not as good as that one, plus they got Westbrook, which means that Dennis will be at best a backup PG and not get a lot of minutes, maybe like 20 minutes a game, being possibly the best player of the second unit is not a bad decision, he could get some stats but, but that team has 3 superstars, meaning one of them could be on the floor at all times while the other one rests and that could result with Dennis not getting any good stats neither. He should have found a team that has an open spot at PG he could work for and get some stats, that would have worked better for him.
