India will face South Africa in Cape Town today in the second Test of the series. South Africa seems to me to be in an advantageous position. India have played in Cape Town in the past but they have never won here. Despite the odds, India will have to put up a strong fight to avoid a series loss. Shami, who was in form in the Indian team, was earlier dropped from the team in the first Test due to injury. In the first Test, South Africa showed a very good performance in batting and bowling at both sites. Today's match is likely to be Dean Elgar's last Test match and the teammates will be looking to give a memorable farewell with a series win. South Africa will enter the field as favourites. India must try their best to level the series.
Second test match between India and South Africa has started and South Africa won the test match decided to bat first. South Africa current score is 8 runs loss of 2 wicket in 8.3 overs. An excellent strat by india team especially Muhammad Siraj bowling performance is outstanding they picked 2 important wicktes by giving just 1 runs. Both openers of south Africa team is gone Markram is out just score 2 runs and Elgar captain of South Africa didn't perform well out for scoring just 4 runs. India has dominated in first session by picking 2 early wickets. Team India is playing today to avenge the humiliating defeat in the first Test. India lost the first match by an innings and a huge margin of 32 runs. The performance of the batsmen was poor and the bowlers also performed very poorly. But the Indian players are confident in today's match. South Africa lost two wickets for just 8 runs. Marakram scored 2 runs and Dean Elgar collected only 4 runs. South Africa are now under a lot of pressure after losing two experienced batsmen. Zorzi and Stubbs are now at the crease. If these two batsmen fail to build a partnership, maybe South Africa will face a batting disaster. South Africa have faced a batting disaster. Zorzi and Stubbs return to the dressing room. South Africa lost their fourth wicket by 15 runs. I doubt whether the South African team can collect even 100 runs in the first innings. Mohammad Sirja is in great form. Bowling 5 overs he conceded only 3 runs and took 3 important wickets. Bumrah picks up the wicket of Tristan Stubbs. Both these Indian bowlers destroyed South Africa's top order. Now it is much more difficult for South Africa to come back and bat well. However, South Africa has some talented batsmen in its squad. Even if they manage to collect 150 in the first innings, maybe South Africa can make the match competitive. No one can imagine that South Africa will see such bad batting. Because in the first test match we saw very responsible batting of South African batsmen. But in today's match none of them can survive at the crease against Mohammad Siraj's bowling. South Africa lost their eighth wicket for 46 runs. And Mohammad Siraj gave only 15 runs in 9 overs and took 6 wickets out of 8 wickets. Bumrah and Mukesh Kumar took one wicket each. At the moment, South Africa's collection is only 50 runs. Probably the team will be able to collect 60-70 runs. |

Juventus are stronger than Salernitana and they just won over AS Roma in a big clash. Salernitana will not be a kind of opponent that can break a good streak of Juventus even it is only a match in Coppa Italia. Juventus don't play in Europe tournaments like Champions League or Europa League, Conference League so they have only two competitions to play in this season: Serie A and Coppa Italia. Scudetto is their most wanted title but they will not refuse any chance to win Coppa Italia. This time of season is too soon for Juventus to think of sacrifice Coppa Italia so they will play with best to win against Salernitana.
Juventus has one big advantage, their home stadium and support from their fans because they will be a host of this match. Many things are against Salernitana for this match and it seems they will be loser after the final whistle.
That should be the case because if we look at the quality of the Salernitana team, it is far below Juventus, so it is very natural that Juventus is quite the favourite. And also in priority, it's true as you said that Juventus doesn't need to lower their horses for the Coppa Italia match because they don't play in European competitions so their focus and priority is only focused on the Coppa Italia and Serie A competitions so these 2 trophies will be very important. they are fighting to get it. Currently Juventus' strength is quite good, so I don't doubt Juventus. Yes, Juventus not playing in European competitions can give them an advantage in focusing and prioritizing the Coppa Italia and Serie A. By only competing in these two events, Juventus can better adjust their strategy and player rotation to achieve victory. and only focusing on the league and the Copa Italia is Juventus' opportunity this season to return to its glory days, because after several years of not winning the league, Even though it is not easy to win over Salernitana, I am sure they can get through it to advance to the next round of the Coppa Italia and trying to overtake Inter at the top of the standings is the next step to finish the league and become champions. SerieA champion this time. I think Juventus can give confidence that they are able to compete and win trophies. Hopefully Juventus can achieve its goals and provide a satisfying performance for its fans. The Inter Milan team plays in the Champions League and Serie A. And in both places they will try to do well. And in such a busy schedule it becomes difficult to consistently perform well in every match. The chances of players getting injured also increases. But J uventus is not playing in Champions League or Europa League. So they get plenty of time to prepare themselves before every match. That's why despite not scoring many goals, Juventus' performance is quite good and regular. Juventus is only 2 points behind Inter Milan. In the next few matches, Juventus' opponents are quite weak. They will play against Salernitana Sassuolo, Lecce a nd Empoli. Juventus have a chance to go top of the table with consecutive wins in these matches. |

India Women vs Australia WomenSo finally today is the third and the last ODI match of this series. We know tha Australia has already won the series and today is the last match. So this will show that Australia Women team will clean sweep the Indian Women team or the series will be at 2-1. This is little bit hard to predict. But if we try to make a conclusion from the last two matches so we will see that. India Women team is little bit weak as compare to Australia Women team. So let's see who will show their power in today match.  Almost another brutal defeat from Australian women team to indian women team. No doubt indian has strong side but thier opponent show thier dominance from start of the series and that's why they won first two matches and now almost about to white wash the series. If we have a look at current match scoreboard Australia were much more improved side from thier opponent and show thier class by building more than 200 partnership at opening batting pair which is really impressive and give them a big punch of confidence. While compared to them indian start were quite disappointed and really showed how under pressure they are even playing at thier home ground Anyway congratulations to Australia for winning this ODI series against top side india It was not at all expected that India Women's team would concede such a humiliating defeat at their home ground. The first two matches were very competitive. But in this match we only saw the dominance of Australia women team players. Australia's two openers collected 201 runs. Australia women team collected 189 runs from the first wicket pair. The performance of the Indian bowlers was very poor. After Australia set a target of 339 I was sure Australia would win. But I didn't think they would win by a huge margin of 190 runs. Along with the bowlers, the Indian batsmen also played very badly. As usual captain Harmanpreet Kaur did not play well today. She collected only 3 runs. |

Australia's women's cricket team being the women's cricket championship, it is nothing surprise to see the odds in favor of the Australia women's team. The India women's team could've played better in the second match, as it was very close and India lost by just 3 runs. The India women's team had improved a lot, but they still haven't grown enough to give competence to the champions. This is a tough situation, as India needs to register a win to avoid the washout. In the first match, the India women's team batted well, but the bowling was disappointing. If not, that could've been a winning match. Let's see if India Women can make the final one on their side.
I would like to agree with you actually the things is Indian women team are doing good performance but the Australian women team are doing quite good performance. Moreover the match held on Australia so I think Australian women team will get more advantage we are already seeing that. I will say that in this mess Australia will be the winner and Indian women team will be washed Australia women's team won the toss and decided to bat first in today's match as well. Australia has already won the series by winning the first two matches. Despite batting earlier in the second match, we did not see the expected good batting from the Australian batsmen. But today the two Australian openers are batting very responsibly. Peres 45 runs to collect Australia women's team in 7 overs. And they didn't lose a single wicket. My guess is Australia will win if they can give 280+ target. Because Indian batsmen are not in good form now. We haven't seen enough good batting from them in the last two matches. Australia women team is batting very well today. This pitch of Wankhede is not completely batting friendly. The first innings average score of this pitch is only 253 runs. But if you can bat responsibly, scoring 300+ runs on this pitch is not a difficult task. Australia's two openers are playing very well. They are scoring more than 6 runs per over. And yet the Indian bowlers have not picked up a single wicket. At the end of 13 overs, Australia collected 79 runs. Litchfield was unbeaten on 33 off 38 balls and Alyssa Healy was unbeaten on 38 off 40 balls. India will be under pressure today if they don't pick up quick wickets. Indian bowlers are not picking up any wickets. I did not expect to see such bad bowling from the Indian bowlers today even on their home pitch. Australia collected 162 runs in just 24 overs. They are scoring runs at an average of over 6.7 per over. And if they keep batting like this, Australia women team will give a target of around 350 today. It will not be possible for India to win if the target is 300+. Australia's two batsmen have collected 49 runs in the last 5 overs. Litchfield scored 80 runs and Healy 66 runs unbeaten. India captain used 6 of his bowlers. Still unable to pick up any wickets. |

The Champions League is always unpredictable. It is difficult to say which team will be the champion. No wonder an underdog team wins. A few years ago the Chelsea team won the Champions League title. No one imagines that a mediocre team like Chelsea will win the Champions League title. This season, Madrid, City, Bayern Munich are naturally favorites. However, there is no surprise if any team wins the title outside of these teams. Each group has strengths as well as several weaknesses.
That's the picture in this competition and maybe we would also be happy if there was a surprising team that could win the Champions League title this season. We also know which strong teams always dominate or become champion candidates every season, but the fact is that sometimes these strong teams can't do anything if mediocre teams start to know how to stop them. Intensity and hard training are needed to be able to compete in this competition and if they don't have a winning mentality then it will be easier for them to be eliminated. I am curious about Atletico because this team has repeatedly lost, whether in the semifinals or in the final, which means they failed to win the Champions League title. On the other hand, Arsenal is also a mediocre team in this competition but they currently have a good squad so I'm starting to wonder whether they can advance to the final round or not, especially as they are one of the big teams from England who have never won a title. champions league for the first time. It is very hard for a mediocre team or a team with no drive and passion to win the Uefa Champions League. Let me tell you this, Chelsea were no mediocre team the season they won the title. When was the last time a mediocre team won this title? No team is mediocre if they win this title. First of all, the favorites this time are Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City for sure. As for others, I think Arsenal, Dortmund & PSG probably have a chance. Arsenal although was looking very good since the start of the season but now they are looking kind of shaky. PSG and Dortmund always choked when it mattered the most. That is why I said, a team needs not only to be good, but it also got to have that drive and passion to push them forward. PSG always had a good team but I did not sense the passion from them. They always lagged behind. I don't see any chance for Atletico Madrid this season, to be honest. They might even get eliminated in the Round of 16 against Inter Milan. |

Personally I don't consider Liverpool team as favorite for Europa League because Premier League title is very difficult to win. They have to compete with Manchester City and Arsenal for the Premier League title. If they lose a point in any match, they will be relegated. Liverpool have underperformed in the Premier League in the last three seasons. This is why they will try their best to win the Premier League title this season. And I've seen teams like Barcelona and Liverpool win the Europa League in the past.
However, Liverpool are still favorites for the Europa League title. Because they have a strong squad. Roma have been favorites for the Europa League for the last few seasons. But they can't win the title. On the other hand, the Leverkusen team is performing well this season. So this team is considered as the hot favorite for Europa League.
You guys are not getting tired of talking nonsense about how teams allocate their resources to the various competitions. Now slowly some people here notice how stupid it is to think that Liverpool intentionally neglects the Europa League in order to have more energy to win the Champions League. Then do me a favor and produce the whole breakdown for us. How many percentage points of their energy will Liverpool invest into the Europa League? How many into the Premier League? But wait, what about Manchester City and Arsenal? Aren't they playing in the Champions League? But is it the same that you say Arsenal gives a damn about the Champions League because they want to win the Premier League? Manchester City, are they going 70% Champions League and 30% Europa League? Do you realize that something like this doesn't exist and that these teams start the season to win every single cup that has some meaning in football? For English teams that is the Premier League, the FA Cup and a UEFA tournament. They don't skip one for the other. I don't agree with you. Liverpool is doing very good currently despite the long injury list. Basically, their main players in the midfield are injured. Mac Allister and Thiago are injured. They called back Carvalho probably to handle the situation. But since the January transfer market started today, I think they will be looking to strengthen their lackings. Klopp won't be sitting around you know. If they can tackle their lackings and fix their injury list, I don't see them losing the Europa League. Let's see who could be the problem for Liverpool in the Europa League. Bayer Leverkusen, AC Milan, AS Roma, and Villareal probably will be the biggest of their problems. Although Leverkusen is doing pretty good right now, the German league is not that strong. I think Liverpool will be able to deal with them. As for AC Milan, Roma, and Villareal, I think Liverpool will be able to handle the way they are playing right now. They are in the top spot right now in the premier league which is nothing to underestimate. |

That true. Always be like this year in and year out around this time of the year...
That was not a good game by any means.
Arteta is a good coach but needs to keep aside his ideas for the basics once in a while
It is not enough to be close to the championship. Arsenal has to win it
He has trust issues with his bench and never changes his gameplay when it's not working.
What a disappointing way to end 2023. 2 consecutive losses...
Absolutely, reflecting on the past year, especially in sports, can be a mix of highs and lows. It's tough when a team doesn't perform as expected. Do you think Arteta's coaching style might evolve in the upcoming year, considering the challenges Arsenal faced in 2023? Also, what changes or improvements would you like to see in the team's strategy for the next season? Arsenal's performance is really about highs and lows because they win many of the tough games and lose some of the games that nobody would expect them to lose. But this unpredictability in their performance is a tough problem to solve for Arteta. I think again and again it will be about experience and growing year after year. When you look back at how Klopp developed Liverpool, they finished the first season as 8th with 60 points. Then they finished 4th with 76 points. Then they finished again 4th with 75 points. Then they finished 2nd with 97 points! And then finally in their fifth year they finished first with a breathtaking 99 points. It really was a process for them. But Klopp had great players he could develop over time. Arsenal could be lacking players who are on the level of Salah maybe, I am not sure. I really don't know how Arsenal fans are coping with it. At the start of the season, they gave high hopes and now at this moment, they are bottling it. They could not even keep the lead till the 2023 year. They lost to West Ham and then again lost to Fulham. After that Bukayo Saka goal, I thought no way Arsenal was going to lose but they lost. If they want to win and be the champion of the Premier League, they cannot lose matches like these. Guess what they are now below Manchester City, and they have played 1 match less. The gap between them and Liverpool will be 5 points if Liverpool manages to win against Newcastle today, so I don't think they can come back after this. Arteta needs to show his magic and they cannot repeat it again. Guardiola came back and I don't think anyone can stop him. It is going to be Liverpool vs Manchester City right now for the Premier League championship. |

Inter Milan are looking to do well in the Champions League and Serie A as well. And in these two competitive leagues, it is difficult to maintain consistent good performances. Inter Milan have a very busy schedule ahead. And this will increase the injury proneness of the players. If an important player of the team suffers an injury, its impact will definitely be seen in the overall performance of the team. On the other hand, Inter Milan's main rivals for the Serie A title, Juventus, are aiming for the Serie A title. They are not playing in Champions League or Europa League. So it will be relatively easy for Juventus to maintain the consistency of performance. Before each match they will have enough time to strategize.
Juventus has got the time advantage over Inter Milan but currently inter Milan has a few time before the UCL round of sixteen kicks off so just before then they can be able to accumulate some good points so as to keep them ahead even if the have some slacks later on, I think they have a fixture in the serie A before their UCL fixture, a win in that game will keep them 3 points ahead. Inter Milan will have to cease every opportunity .Ade available to them if they must be able to maintain a good form in the serie A and the UCL if not they are obviously going to loose out in one, somehow I tend not to see great potential for inter Milan at The UCL , tho they have some level of experience but then it will only make sense if they can go beyond the quarter finals, until then they should consider the serie A seriously els they will be displaced by Juventus and may not be able to recover from it. Balancing their performance in both competition is something they will have to work on and it can only be possible if they stay ahead in the serie A and apply some rotation thereafter. Yes, it is going to be very tough for Inter Milan to keep up. I mean the schedule is already very busy. Players are getting frequently injured due to these schedules. And then they have to play in a very competitive Champions League in February. But for now, they have the same pressure as Juventus, so I believe they should increase the gap as much as possible. Inter Milan lost to Genoa yesterday which lessened the point gap between them to 2 points. Juventus on the other hand had beaten a strong Roma. Juventus is catching up right now. February is going to be very busy for Inter Milan. They have the UCL playoff match against Atletico Madrid and on the first of February, they will have to play against Juventus. They need to make sure they win these 2 matches. If Juventus wins that match that will give them a lead against Inter Milan which Inter Milan cannot afford to do. |

Joselu is only a priority for a while and I think Real Madrid will get the right player for the number 9 jersey. Maybe in this transfer window we will see this player complete the Real Madrid squad in the second half of this season. There is no doubt that after Ancelotti received a new contract offer he will focus on a new project for this season with Real Madrid. Not Mbappe, but I think Real Madrid management has already pocketed the name of a quality striker that they will be targeting in this winter's transfer window. Indeed, without the number 9 player, Real Madrid performance so far has been quite good, both in Laliga and the Champions League. But it won't be good if they don't look for another player who will take on the task of being their main striker for this season. Now, if you look at the rumors that have been linked between Mbappe and Real Madrid, of course this has been fried in the previous two transfer windows, but we see that Real Madrid first offer for Mbappe was rejected by Mbappe at that time. Maybe Real Madrid don't want to be disappointed a second time, they will definitely ignore Mbappe name in this winter's transfer window. Juselu will continue to be used by Real Madrid as long as Real Madrid has not found a good and suitable striker to join their squad Juselu is actually a good striker but Real Madrid needs a striker who is hungry for goals and creates lots of goal opportunities and can provide goal assists to players. On the other hand, Mbappe is actually a suitable player for Real Madrid, but it seems like Mbappe doesn't really have any interest in joining Real Madrid. If he was interested, he should have explained where he would end up. So far, Real Madrid performance is still quite stable even without the number 9 player because Bellingham is here to strengthen Real Madrid and it turn out that Bellinghan can become a striker because he can create lots of goals and even become the top scorer in La Liga, but even so, Real Madrid still needs a striker who can replace Benzema, until now Real Madrid has not found a striker like Benzema and maybe because Real Madrid has already been disappointed with Mbappe, Ancloti maybe will look for another name lets just wait for Real Madrid surprise in the transfer market later. @Google+ I don't want to believe anything about Mbappe's transfer until it is officially confirmed. A few years back, everyone was certain of it. Everyone was making a welcoming post about Mbappe to Real Madrid, but then PSG Directors said that they would try to keep him at PSG. People thought that nobody could stop Mbappe from joining Real Madrid and his childhood favorite club. But after spending a whole lot of money, Mbappe remained at PSG. Actually I don't see other options other than Mbappe to be honest. Haaland probably won't join since he is doing very well at Manchester City right now. Joselu is currently doing very good as a replacement and it is very hard to say if Real Madrid is going to get another striker this season if Mbappe does not join this season. |

I don’t think Mbappe will be going to Real Madrid or Liverpool or any other team this January, to be honest. Because in these big transfers, we always hear speculations, rumors, and all that. But this time we haven't even heard anything. And another thing is big transfers like this do not happen in January transfer windows. I am not saying it’s not possible, it is possible but the chances are too low.
Yeah, this is true But I think that Carlos Angelotti's stay with Real Madrid means a contract extension, which is proof that Real Madrid will definitely sign big players in the transfer window, and I think that big player is Killyan Mbappe because Killyan Mbappe is still six months into his contract with PSG to become a free agent. So, therefore, PSG will sell Killyan Mbappe instead of letting his contract expire and become a free agent, so it seems that Real Madrid will sign Killyan Mbappe in the January transfer window. This signing will also benefit PSG by selling players for money instead of free agents, and it is clear that Killian Mbappe is going to leave PSG after his contract expired, and his interest is also in Real Madrid because both have the same style, and playing together can also benefit the team. So I mean to say that it seems that Real Madrid will sign Killyan Mbappe in this January transfer window, and as for Liverpool, Killyan Mbappe does not have internet in Liverpool. I think that Killyan Mbappe to Liverpool will be possible. If what you are saying is true then that would be great for both Mbappe and Real Madrid. Mbappe is clearly unhappy with PSG. But still, the question remains will Perez let Mbappe get into Real Madrid's squad? A few years back Mbappe betrayed Real Madrid when everyone was expecting that Mbappe would join Real Madrid. Things were almost certain and everyone was 99% certain. But PSG's directors were saying that he wouldn’t let Mbappe go and they would try to keep him at PSG. And they did succeed. Now I don't know what will happen this time and talking from that time’s experience, I would not say something until it is certain. I think PSG will try to keep him again after all they spend a lot of money on him to renew his contract. |

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has completed the deal and he is the owner of Manchester United as of last Sunday. I have seen some news also like he isn't keen on sacking Erik ten Hag quickly. He looks eager to work with Erik ten Hag for longer but we will see. Honestly I wouldn't still expect Erik ten Hag to keep his job until the end of the season like this. Because it is like they win one week but the other week is a big disappointment. This Nottingham defeat after beating Aston Villa at Old Trafford can be given as a great example. They are already 9 points behind top 4. If they can't improve I just expect Erik ten Hag to get sacked.  I was thinking that he should be sacked this season. Because think about it, if a new manager comes in right now, no one would blame him for losing and he can get the team tested in the remaining half of the season. He can get the players that he wants in the January transfer market. But let's say if a new manager joins at the end of the season, they will take a lot of time to get the team ready and I don't think they will be able to win anything in the next season as well. This season they can not expect to win anything, they are out of the Champions League and are far from the Top 4. They keep dropping points and I believe sacking Ten Hag is the best solution. |

Yes, Real Madrid still needs a number 9 player, because Joselu performance is not very satisfactory. On the other side, the current rumors are that Real Madrid will recruit Mbappe in this winter transfer window. Hopefully Real Madrid offer to Mbappe is true and not just a rumor, to sharpen the attack line Real Madrid must immediately recruit him. But Real Madrid plans are quite good, they have secured the services of talented wonderkid Endrick Felipe in the new season and that young man will play for Real Madrid at next.
The number 9 jersey has not yet been filled in the squad and maybe Real Madrid is still keeping this jersey number for an attack that really has the same abilities as the previous wearer. Joselu is not projected for the long term because he was bought only to replace the striker who was vacant in the previous season's transfer window. Joselu's ability has not been able to adapt to the schemes and strategies implemented by Ancelotti because several opportunities he was given failed to be executed as the coach hoped. Endrick Felipe is indeed the youngest player bought by Real Madrid and he will only be able to play next season. If Mbappe is successfully brought to Real Madrid, Los Blancos' front line duo will be even more terrifying. Let's just wait and see what steps Real Madrid will take in the future and hopefully Mbappe will be a priority purchase. The current situation is very confusing. On one hand, Real Madrid needs a number 9 but they are performing well without them. On other hand, despite these rumors, I don't think Real Madrid would sign Mbappe after he kind of betrayed Real Madrid a few years ago and signed a deal with PSG. Everyone was thinking that Real Madrid got him but he said otherwise. It makes everything confusing. Real Madrid are doing well without a number 9 right now. Joselu is doing kind of good but he is not a world class player after all. The rumors are not strong either about Mbappe coming to Real Madrid. Endrick Felipe won't be coming this season as far as I know. Things are getting very interesting and I will be watching every moment of it. |

I doubt that they can sell him anymore, he just won't accept. We are nearly in January, which means that we are going to end up with something that would benefit him to just sign with another team already for this summer. That way, a team may have the chance to just have him without paying anything and only would have to wait six months for him.
This is why it's quite critical that we are going to end up with a decent return, without a doubt. I know that it will take a while and all, but it's not impossible and we could make it work somehow. I think the best thing to do in that case would be important to just realize he will leave, so PSG should focus on making something better for him, something that will benefit them, a new player perhaps.
Next tomorrow January transfer window will open until one month later, still not late for PSG selling Kylian Mbappe on this transfer window but depend how to find teams will pay higher bid offer exactly many teams won't pay above 200 million due his contract expiry six months later. One month left before transfer window close is not easy raising agreement deal with team who interest for signing Mbappe include most expensive fee transfer. Real Madrid with their manager Carlo Ancelotti have confirmed not make any transfer or buy player on January window transfer and likely they will wait until Mbappe contract expiry. Beside Real Madrid have Liverpool who interested for signing Mbappe, but one day left before transfer window opening not official bid offer yet from The Kop for negotiation to sign Mbappe. I don’t think Mbappe will be going to Real Madrid or Liverpool or any other team this January, to be honest. Because in these big transfers, we always hear speculations, rumors, and all that. But this time we haven't even heard anything. And another thing is big transfers like this do not happen in January transfer windows. I am not saying it’s not possible, it is possible but the chances are too low. The question is will Real Madrid get Mbappe or any other season because we all know how he kind of betrayed Real Madrid a few years back? It all depends on Perez and his team. On the other hand, Liverpool are known to be stingy. So I don't think they will be spending this amount of money on one player. Not many clubs can afford him either, so let's see what happens. |

Every team tries to play very well and win the championship. But every team is different according to their own strategy and style of play and therefore every team's performance is also different. In this case, Juventus plays with very good tactics due to which other teams rarely win games with them. Juventus is very strong in this aspect so they managed to get a good position in the points table. And it's also true that in the next match if Inter unfortunately lose the match then Juventus can pass them very easily but Inter will play against a much weaker team so they will win the match very easily. So I don't see any chance of Juventus moving to the number 1 position in the points table in the next match
I don't think there is any team that can compete with inter this year. Juventus can be close to them but in the long term they have a better team with more players. Inter just drew against Genoa Yesterday, and Juventus has beaten strong Roma, which lessens the point gap between them to 2 points. Inter Milan needs to be consistently winning to let Juventus not get near them. Everyone thought that Juventus wouldn’t go near them but they just dropped points and Juventus did not. It will take another match for Inter Milan to drop points and for Juventus to catch up. So I don't agree with you. Juventus actually might win the championship. I think it will come down to the match between themselves in February. Whoever wins that match will actually have a good advantage. |

New Zealand's performance keeps going down the drain these days. They actually struggled so much for such a small score. On the other hand, Bangladesh is over-dependent on Miraz and Shoriful Islam.
The rest of their bowlers are pretty much useless. Am expecting Bangladesh to win the decider primarily thanks to these two.
New Zealand won the match by 17 runs in DLS method. I did not think that New Zealand would bat so badly with a target of only 111 runs. The performance of the Bangladeshi batsmen was erratic as usual. Captain shanto scored maximum 17 runs for the team. No batsman can bat responsibly. We do not know when the Bangladesh team will improve with such bad batting. But the Bangladeshi bowlers bowled well. Although the target was only 111 runs, the New Zealand batsmen were under a lot of pressure. Opener Finn Allen scored 38 runs. But the next four batsmen returned to the dressing room with just 1 run each on the scoreboard. Mehedi and shoriful bowled very well. Bangladesh vs New Zealand third series match if Bangladesh batsmen could have batted responsibly and if they could have given New Zealand a target of 150 runs then maybe Bangladesh could have won the third T20 match. Like the Test match, the T20 series was tied 1-1 with New Zealand. The only reason Bangladesh lost the third T20 match was weak batting. If the batting of Bangladesh had been organized, if the batsmen could have performed well, then maybe Bangladesh would have won the second T20 match very easily. Bangladesh's bowlers bowled brilliantly against New Zealand despite being set a target of just 111 runs, so poor batting was the only reason they lost the third T20 series. It was a low scoring pitch. There was no need to give a target of 150 runs. Bangladesh bowlers were in very good form. If the batsmen could have given a target of more than 130 then I think the Bangladesh team would have been able to win this match. But Bangladesh set a target of only 111 runs. It is not enough to win. Even if the pitch is completely bowling friendly, it is almost impossible to win at such a low target. Bangladesh batsmen should be more diligent. Their batsmen are talented. But no one can play well in international matches. Although Bangladeshi players perform well in the domestic league, their performance in international matches is very poor. |

That is the biggest problem PSG has. They don't have financial issues and they had some coaches that were not too bad, but the average competition in their domestic league makes it hard for them to peak at the right moment when they play in the Champions League. Premier League teams have to peak almost every week and in La Liga it is at least more often than it is in Ligue 1. In Ligue 1 PSG really has to peak every few weeks, if at all. They could play at 90% the whole season and still win the title easily.
A club that's 100% balance when it involves finances and the president is not ready to watch his club fold up other than generating quite enormous profits. PSG always comes first when it involves winning Ligue One trophy but I don't think they would be able to compete in UCL because it's an elite competition formulate only for tougher clubs that are craving for extreme titles. They always have this issues of appointing mediocre coach, incompetent coach that doesn't stand in any solid position to elevate the club to next level. They have Luis Enrique as headcoach, he will do more better than the previous manager. Maybe Luis Enrique could have won the UCL if he had the squad of Messi-Neymar-Mbappe trio. I think PSG fans must also think that they are working with bad coaches in this regard. At that time, there was no other team in the world that had the squad they had. They were the best squad on paper and looked even stronger than City. However, coaches and team balance may change. I think that's exactly what happened. I also feel, but I have one more thing if PSG Management gives some time to Luis Enrique and also players which heeded then I have feeling he still can win this Champions League because just having big players never been guaranteed to win trophies you can achieve this without many big stars on just behalf of quality and performance of the players and Luis Enrique is having ability to bring things like these as he is well reputed coach and have good experience with quality as well. From here now time for them to keep faith and give good time which help him for creating good strategy and other fundamentals which helps the players for better mutual understanding and chemistry which is important for the win like we have in current Real Madrid which is doing impressive job. I would say that if Luis Enrique had got PSG's previous year's squad, he could have brought PSG the Champions League. PSG management had a lot of bad decisions. Over the past few seasons, the Stars have brought in some of the best players in the world in their squad. Messi, Neymar and Mbappe were in their attack. But their coach was not experienced enough. So the coach could not help much to strengthen the bonding between the players. PSG should offer Luis Enrique big funds in the winter transfer window and give him the freedom to build his squad as he wishes. PSG should rely on Luis Enrique. Enrique is one of the best coaches in the world. He is experienced enough. He might be able to dominate the Champions League if he can form a squad with the players of his choice. |

Fulham Vs Arsenal
Today, Fulham face Arsenal at Craven Cottage. Fulham have lost three matches in a row, especially the 2-0 defeat at home to Burnley last time, which gave them a big blow. Arsenal have a golden opportunity today to go top of the points table but they already got this opportunity at home. Especially at home on Thursday, Arsenal missed the opportunity to go top of the table with a 2-0 defeat at home to West Ham. Whether Arsenal can return to the top is a little questionable as Arsenal have won just two of their last six away matches. But I think Arsenal can come back and win the match 2-1.
If we predict according to the last 5 matches, Arsenal will be ahead. However, on 10 December, Fulham won a match against West Ham 5–0, while on 28 December, Arsenal lost the match 2–0 to West Ham. We cannot consider Fulham weak in this condition. But Arsenal will surely not want to miss their chance especially in this position. They lost the last match and missed the chance to go top and if they lose today they will be far behind. I think Arsenal will win today's match 3-1. I agree with you. Arsenal lost 2-0 against West Ham in the last match. I wouldn't say Arsenal's performance was bad. I saw the match. Arsenal dominated the entire match. Attacked a lot. But they could not score any goals. West Ham, on the other hand, attacked very little. They were cunning. Finds weaknesses in Arsenal's defense and scores two goals. Arsenal are favorites against Fulham today. But they must be strategic. Otherwise there is a possibility of losing points like last match. Not only attacking, coach Arteta has to identify the weak points of the opponent and make a match strategy accordingly. Arsenal is a strong team. If the match strategy is good, they will easily win against Fulham. |
