The fans have hope that there club will clinch on good records this season, no matter how they flop, good records will always be obtainable. Mikel Arteta will be held responsible for any significant changes that does happen in the club, be it positive or negative. The attacking positions is active but it do have slight issues, no club will become too easy for Gunners to handle, because in the first place, they lack the necessary qualities of an elite club in UCL football. Arsenal are growing weaker in matches regarding EPL and that's not a good thing that should happen to them.
They can't be saying no matter how much they flopp they will still be able to clinch a good record this season because in the end, the results gotten by the end of the season is what matters the most as no one would really want to talk about how well they have performed if there's no results to show for it at the end of the season.

The attacking position of the gunners looks very active but they need a good strike force and this January transfer windows is an opportunity for them to fix that if not it will affect their results in the champions league because the champions league at this point is going to be thougher than it was at the group stage but they can still get to the finals if only they work on their lapsis at this point just before the commencement of the next stage of the champions league again.
If you look at it statistically, the opportunity between Porto and Arsenal are still 50 50 because Porto cannot be underestimated, he is playing well in the domestic league, just like Arsenal is also performing well in the Premier League. But unfortunately Arsenal has experienced a unsatisfactory results recently, but I think Mikel Arteta already understands the team mistakes were the lack of a sharp attack line and a back line that was not good at maintaining the defense. So that it was easy for the opposing team to read to break into Arsenal defense.

Yes Arsenal need a more productive striker from now on and Mikel Arteta should have thought about this to recruit new players in the transfer market to strengthen the team performance, I thinks if Arsenal can be better than now it is possible that he can still qualify for the next round and beat Porto.

Every team in the Champions League knockout round is strong. Every team has proved their ability in the group stage matches. So there is no opportunity to underestimate any team here.
Considering the squad, Arsenal team can be put ahead of Porto. Premier League teams are always considered favourites. However, there is no chance of underestimating the Porto team either. Porto's players have the ability to beat Arsenal.
Although Porto may not be at the top of the table in Liga Portugal, their performance is quite strong. The defense of this team is also strong. Breaking down Porto's defense will be challenging for Arsenal's players. So it seems that both the teams have equal chances to win this match.

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.
Miraz wasn't in the playing XI today. He was at the bench in this T20 series. Mahedi Hasan is a different person, although his name is pretty similar to Miraz. Anyway, Mustafizur Rahman also bowled well beside Mahedi Hasan and Shoriful Islam in this series. The pitch was pretty much in favour of the bowlers in the T20 series. That's why New Zealand struggled today to chase the small target.

Today's pitch was bowling friendly. If Shakib and Miraz were in the Bangladesh squad on this pitch, maybe Bangladesh would have been able to win the series. But Shakib was not in the squad. And Miraz was on the bench. miraz is an excellent bowler and not only that, he is capable of batting responsibly as the team needs. If the Bangladesh team could have given a target of 130-140 today, they would have won. The performance of the Bangladeshi bowlers was very good today as in the previous matches. Even though the bowling line-up can improve, Bangladesh is unable to improve their batting order. Still every batsman's batting is very erratic.

Juventus and Roma were closely contested until half-time, neither managing to score in the period.But just after half-time in the 47th minute, Juventus' Adrien Rabiot scored a goal with the magic of his feet. But since then both teams attacked a lot, but the defenders of both teams were quite strong. As a result, neither team was able to make a call and the match ended in a goalless draw. Roma players shot a total of 11 shots at the goal post throughout the match but none were successful.
Roma done good job, but sadly their efforts were not enough for having anything positive from this match even most of the time they were in well control, but Juventus tactics not allow them to score goal and bring themselves to the level they are doing good job against top teams and trying their best for keeping hopes for the top 4 even things are not easy but still possibility is available for them with this defeat now difference is 5 points from fourth spotted Fiorentina which is also doing impressive after having few bad weeks in early rounds next week Roma is going to host Atlanta which is currently one spot above from Roma and having not good performance in away matches with this most chances Roma will be able to bring themselves to the above spot with connection to UEFA events, but they need to have done more for staying at this level.

Juventus won because of their strong defense. The performance of Roma team players was not bad. Juventus played really well, while the performance of the Roma team was also quite good. However, Roma could not score any points in this match. Allegri's match strategy is excellent. He knows very well that Juventus are not strong enough in attack. So he did not try to play much attacking strategy. After Rabiot scored in the 47th minute, Juventus focused on keeping their defense tight. And in the end a narrow 1-0 win for Juventus and 3 points. Juventus team is still 2 points behind Inter Milan.

It seems Carlo Ancelotti extended his contract with Real Madrid for a longer time and he is going to stay there.
SIcne we heard any news about Brazil trying to hire Carlo Ancelotti for their team and use this coach in the 2026 World Cup, but he extended his contract with Real Madrid to prove he prefers to continue his career in Real Madrid and he prefers to stay there.
Carlo Ancelotti's new contract will expire in 2026 and this coach wants to achieve even more titles with Real Madrid.


After this news became official, our speculation regarding Carlo Ancelotti replacement was buried. By extending it until 2026, of course we won't worry about how Madrid will go through the regeneration process. Carlo Ancelotti still wants to guard Madrid young players until they are truly comfortable at the club. In my opinion, this is the right and profitable decision, especially as he can continue to monitor the development of Bellingham and Arda Guller well according to the initial plan. Ancelotti and Perez don't want their togetherness to end, after all, Madrid really suits Ancelotti's hands.
In fact, at the beginning of the season his departure to Brazil was very pronounced in terms of rumours and even i was fooled by this news because indeed some news and statements from the Brazilian side seemed to indicate that Ancellotti  would leave Madrid and be in Brazil as the National Team coach.

But Fabrizio reporting yesterday has proven that Ancelotti will stay in Madrid for at least the next few season  and this will definitely be the last club he will coach given his age.

This could be a good thing because with the long-term plans he applies I think for now Madrid still doesn't need to worry too much about the plans for young players that Ancleotti always applies because he must already know what the future will be like. It's just that in this case Ancelotti also now has to open up especially for player transfer issue bcause now there are still some problems that they have to fix especially for pure strikers and defenders.

Many people were saying that it was certain that Ancelotti would be coming to Brazil after the end of the current season. I would definitely say that he was a good fit for Brazil's team but he chose Real Madrid over Brazil. Many people including myself were thinking who would replace him in the Real Madrid squad. Many people were thinking about Xabi Alonso but it does not matter right now.

The news came from Fabrizio Romano and then Real Madrid’s Facebook page confirmed the news. But I think the decision he made was good for him. Real Madrid has a young squad right now. I think the Real Madrid squad would grow very well under him. He can make them grow. This season he is doing very well even after player shortage and other problems, at the top position of La Liga and passing the UCL group topper. But it is no lie that he would have been good for Brazil’s young squad as well.

I wonder who can get Brazi's management right now. The current manager is not doing very well and I don’t think they can win the Copa this time. They are looking very weak and if they keep losing these matches they might not even qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

Bangladesh team touching new highs in last few weeks against New Zealand as they ended their test series on draw at home then have their first ODI win against them in New Zealand and now ending these Twenty series on level or win as they are already in lead, and we lost second match due to rain so now no chance for them to lose this series just because of this we need good effort from them as they needed as winner and having good end of their tour of New Zealand in start of 2024.

Youngsters are making their mark in international cricket but still they need good experience and practice for the better results in future specially they need to work on their technique as well because this is important for all formats success hopefully, we will have Shanto as good leader in future as well after having good end of first tour as captain against New Zealand.
All the players in Bangladesh's current team are youngsters, and it is a very good news for Bangladesh cricket fans that they are getting a good team who can play good cricket outside the country against bigger teams in the future. All eyes will be on tomorrow's match to see how Bangladesh will perform and whether they can win the series or not. Another good news for Bangladesh cricket fans is Soumya Sarkar is back in form as Soumya Sarkar is one of the important batsmen of Bangladesh team.

After seeing the disappointing performance of Bangladesh Cricket Team in the last ODI WC, there was definitely anger among the fans, but with the impressive performance of Bangladesh Team recently, the fans of Bangladesh Cricket Team will have faith in these youngsters again. Hope this improvement of Bangladesh team will continue in future and they will always be able to play competitive cricket.

Here is the thing, Bangladesh never lacked talents. They won the U-19 World Cup a few years back, and now they recently won the u-19 Asia Cup. So it is very clear that they have some talented youngsters. But the problem is that they cannot shine after they get promoted to the senior squad. But the way Bangladesh is looking, they can get things done in the future. Shanto is looking like a very good captain for the team, they got some new talents who are scoring runs and getting wickets. Shoriful Islam developed a lot this year. Tanzim Sakib looks a bit shaky but performs as well.

Their batting still requires some improvement. If Soumya Sarker can return to his old glory days, then Bangladesh will have nothing to worry about. But things are too early to predict as they have performed a few matches. But we can hope for sure.

India are nearing the end of their target with India needing 36 runs from just 30 balls.  So winning the match is still very challenging for them, now India will not miss single runs in every ball because they need more runs than the number of balls they have left to play.  So this time is very important for them to win the match. However, the way India women's team is playing, they are expected to win the match
It's Australia winning the second ODI and the series. When last time I posted here India women were favourite to win the contest but they were 3 runs short of the target. 15 runs were required in last over and Indian were only able to make 12 runs. Sutherland got the big wicket of Richa Ghosh and after that game went in control of Australians and they made it hard for Indian women to win that game. There is one more game to be played after that and India will play that to retain pride.

After Australia women's team set a target of 259 runs, I thought India would have no problem winning today's match. A target of 259 runs cannot be called a big target. Moreover, the performance of the Indian batsmen was quite good in the previous match as well. But their performance in today's match was very poor. Apart from Richa Gosh and Jemimah Rodrigues, none of the players in the squad can bat well. If the lower order players in particular could have batted with some responsibility then India would have been able to win this match. India women's team was defeated by only 3 runs.

We have five matches today:

Luton Town vs Chelsea, Chelsea to win @1.55

Aston Villa vs Burnley, draw @5.00

Crystal Palace vs Brentford, draw @3.30

Manchester City vs Sheffield United, both teams to score - no @2.63
You know that Chelsea are not yet stable in their performance in this season, and they are playing in the home of Luton Town which it will be difficult for Chelsea to defeat Luton Town in their home but Chelsea will score goals in this match but it will end up in the favour of Luton Town. If you look at the position Aston villa are now, it show that they will use that influence to dominate in this match to ensure they use home strategies to defeat Burnley 3-1 to embrace the three points from the match. There will be goals from both teams in this match but Manchester city will be the team that will win Sheffield united 3-2 to improve their points and position.
Chelsea's past record against Luton Town is very good. Chelsea  have won their last three matches against Luton Town. But this season's scenario is different. Chelsea's performance has been completely erratic. Despite  surprising everyone with a great performance in 2/1 matches, this team is not able to consistently perform well. The Chelsea team is undoubtedly strong. But whether they can win against Luton Town cannot be said for sure. However, Chelsea has a higher chance of winning this match. I really expect Chelsea to win. But I will not take the risk of betting on Chelsea's victory. This team has disappointed me several times this season.
No matter how bad Chelsea can be. You don't have to underestimate them. This is because sometime Chelsea might just come up with good performance from nowhere. Take control over the game and win the match. Regardless that the match will be played at Luton's Home doesn't give them much of big opportunity that they may win the match. I have watched how they play. And it is no different from how they play when they are Away and how they play when they are in their Home.

I am not underestimating  the Chelsea team. I know Chelsea's squad is very  strong. We saw great performances from Chelsea players against  Manchester City and Tottenham. This team has  the potential to perform well. But the problem is that it is impossible to say with certainty when and  in which matches  this team will  play well. The most unpredictable team in the Premier League at the moment is Chelsea. This  is why it is completely  unknown whether Chelsea  will  win against Luton Town. However  Chelsea have the  potential to play well against Luton Town. Chelsea  will certainly not want to drop points against Luton Town who are in the relegation zone.

Australia Women vs India Women

The match has been started Australia won the toss and chose .Australia woman made is 170 run in 36 overs with the lose of 4 wickets. Australia woman are play very well Now batting partnership T McGrath and A Sutherland .T .Mc grath they made 21 run in 17 ball and A Sutherland made 1 run in 3 ball if they inning continue I hope they give very tuff target.

Although the Indian bowlers could not do well in the first match, they bowled well in today's match. Deepti Sharma in particular bowled brilliantly today. Opener Litchfield played well today. He got out after collecting 63 runs. Also, Ellyse Perry was dismissed after collecting 50 runs. At the end of 46 overs, Australia women's team lost 8 wickets and collected 219 runs. It cannot be called a big collection on this pitch. Australia women's team will probably provide the target around 240. India's chances of winning are high today. I am looking forward to see Harmanpreet's performance.

Indian International test cricket team did not play well in first test match. Indian International test cricket team is lion only in their home ground. Indian International test cricket team will not play good in second test match and South African International test cricket team will win this series easily. Rohit Sharma is flop captain in foreign countries. They can't play in foreign countries. Indian International test cricket team has many weaknesses and they should improve their mistakes. Otherwise, Indian team will lose its standard and then ranking will change and that will be disappointment for Indian International test cricket team.
Indian team is as of now under development with too many youngsters are going to start their career in red ball format, and they need time for having better approach and results with this South African tour is never been easy for the team they never won any series even they play with their best team in Past so we need to be calm and positive mind hopefully things will be changed, and we will have better results from these players in coming days specially in SENA countries we need to work on their technique and quality mostly they have problems in batting which is surely problem for the decades.

Virat Kohli and KL Rahul were only batsmen those done good job and now time for Rohit Sharma to skip down from this format and give priority to his IPL career which is also near the end after losing Mumbai Indian captaincy.

It is true that India is giving opportunities to their young players. However  the senior players of  the team did not  perform well against  South Africa. The presence of experienced  players like Rohit Sharma,  Shubman Gill and Aswin  cannot be felt  in this match. Their performance was very poor. If the senior players could have done well in the  first Test match, the match  would have been very  competitive. Only Kohli and Rahul played well in this match. In the second Test match, India's senior players will have to play with more responsibility. If they can't do well then the Indian team will lose badly in the second test match as well.

I think Barcelona should be able to beat Napoli easily and there shouldn't be any issue at all. I think the best thing to do in this case would be just assuming that it would be a good period, and we could end up with something that should benefit everyone. I get that the best thing to do in this situation would be just assuming the world is not ending, you don't have to pay everything all that easily but you just have to assume that betting on Barcelona is a great way to make some money.

I am not saying that it's guaranteed, Barcelona could still lose, not like they are having a wonderful season, but they are certainly doing much better than Napoli has been doing so it should be a win for them without a doubt.

I don't think the match against Napoli is actually going to be easy for Barcelona to be honest. Barcelona has been facing a good amount of problems this season. Napoli also has not been the best of teams lately but the thing is Barcelona also has a lot of injury problems as well. Actually, both of them are going through the same kind of problems, to be honest now that I think about it. Both of them have to defend the league title and both also have to do very well in the Champions League as well. And both have the same kind of problems except for the fact that Barca has a few injuries. Barca is falling off in the La Liga pretty badly, to be honest. So I also think Barcelona might think about giving the La Liga a better chance instead of the UCL. Anyway, I think the match against Napoli is going to be competitive.

The match between Napoli and Barcelona is the only match in the Round of 16 which will be a 50-50 chance. I mean look at both of them, Barcelona are struggling in their own league. La Liga’s bottom team is Almeria and Barcelona won against them barely with a score of 3-2. Forwards and Defence have problems in their squad. Lewandsonksi is not doing good either. They are financially not doing well either. They could have improved their squad in the January transfer market but considering their financial situation they wouldn't.

On the other hand, Napoli is also struggling. Recently lost against Napoli and are sitting in the 7th position of Serie A. They are struggling just like Barcelona and they are nowhere near their last season performance. So it will be a clear 50-50 chance between them. Either they are going to lose against their next opponent I believe.

On 4th place in the league, they are only 5 points off first place and they have played one game less, so if they win that, it is only two points. But if Haaland doesnt keep scoring goals, then maybe Mohamed Salah will overtake him, he has currently scored 12 goals in 19 games. Haaland is on 14 goals in 15 games, which is a better ratio, but he should start scoring again soon. Yesterday there were 4 young players who were just waiting to be substituted, they were: Oscar Bobb (20), Micah Hamilton (20), Rico Lewis (19) and Mahamadou Susoho (18). All very young players who can still play a lot of strong games at manchester city.


At the moment when Everton scored a goal against Manchester City and they were one goal behind this team, I was thinking there was even a chance for Manchester City to lose this match and Everton make a miracle against this strong team but in the end, Guardiola didn't disappoint me because I was betting on Manchester City for this game and I was not expecting to see any result than Manchester City winning the match against Everton.
That may be because of some players in Manchester City not being in the good form and that's why they have bad performance in some games.

Well, I didn't get scared, to be honest. Because I pretty much knew that Manchester City was actually not going to lose. Sure they had a little trouble in the past few weeks but I never thought at any moment that they were going to lose against Everton. And that is exactly what has happened. Man City did get behind in this match. They did concede the first goal in this match but they had the capability to win this match and it was a good comeback even though it was against a relatively weaker opponent. Man City actually dominated the match even though Everton actually broke the deadlock in this match.

It is true that Real Madrid is very lucky to have a coach like Carlo Ancelotti. He is a coach who has a wealth of experience and he is a coach who has the advantage of instilling his own football philosophy rather than constantly asking his players to follow the tactics that are written in each game plan. Because this advantage he has will have a big impact when the team is experiencing a tactical deadlock on the field.

But I see that even though he will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season and coach Brazil, he will leave a strong squad after he leaves. This can be seen from the way he brings in young players and builds Real Madrid's young squad for the future. He is a great coach not only tactically but also great in passing down the future squad for Real Madrid. But I still hope that in January he will succeed in bringing in a great striker for Real Madrid, because of course he wants to leave Real Madrid with a good impression, namely being able to win the La Liga and UCL league titles.

From the way it is looking,  Real Madrid are the favorite to win the La Liga right now. As for the Uefa Champions League,  they will still have to fight against the likes of Manchester  City and Bayern Munich. So I believe he will leave a good impression if he leaves Real Madrid. You know the current squad is good but I don't think another manager who will join can do as good a job as he did with the squad.  He trained this squad for a few years and looks very strong. From my point of view, Bellingham is the star player right now.  If he gets out of form, I don't know what will happen to Real Madrid.  As for him leaving, it is still not sure whether he will leave or not.  However it will leave Real Madrid in a confusing situation and Brazil will end up with a very good manager.

No doubt that even jose has been also telling us the club if xabi will become another great coach in the future. The ability to push the relegation team to perform like the winning team is so amazing.
It's rarely owned by any coaches in the football.
I remember hearing how much Jose Mourinho could be said to admire this young coach and predicted that he would become one of the successful coaches in the future, considering that he played in several clubs coached by quite successful coaches so that Xabi Alonso could be said to be quite rich in strategy and we can see how he was able to bring his squad so far into a team that is very consistent and can quickly recover when they experience unfavorable results such as a draw so that they become a team that can always ensure themselves to get points. After successfully holding strong opponents Bayern Munich and Stuttgart to a draw, in the eighteenth week they will face Leipzig. If Bayer Leverkusen can face this tough match well, Bayer Leverkusen will have more opportunities to become Bundesliga champions.


But indeed, from the information I got, at least Bayer Leverkusen will not stop Xabi Alonso from leaving and with a statement like that, it is very possible that Xabi Alonso will leave at the end of the season and the strong issue is coaching Real Madrid because Ancelotti is certain to leave too . Thus, it is appropriate for Bayer Leverkusen to maximize the moments this season to win trophies.

Indeed, getting a trophy is not easy because it requires high consistency . But ya, at least because so far in the first half of the season Bayer Leverkusen have managed to go unbeaten . So ya, with great results like that, it is an obligation for Bayer Leverkusen to be able to maintain its good performance, of course to maintain its position at the top of the Bundesliga standings until the end of this season.

Xabi Alonso is indeed proving to be a very good coach. His results with his team are saying it all. I mean look at the Bundesliga table, he is still undefeated and that broke a Bundesliga record. And top of that they are ahead of a team like Bayern Munich which usually dominated the Bundesliga. So it is very clear that he is doing very very good and has the potential to become a very good coach. But I still think it is too early for him to join a big club like Real Madrid.

Carlo Ancelotti is not certain to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season. It is not certain yet @hahay. These are still rumors and no one can say it 100% done. I would like to see Xabi staying at Bayer Leverkusen for one more season and grow then join a big club.

Juventus is not a typical defensive team and they are much more attacking than Roma. We all know that this is an important opportunity for Juventus to immediately overtake Inter from the top of the standings and they don't have time to provide more defense than attack. Allegri knows what his team has to do in the next match and they will aim for full points rather than just one point against Roma.

I'm sure Juventus can do it, especially if Roma concedes first then that could be a strong signal that Juventus will win and will even score another goal. Roma will not be able to withstand Juventus' attacks even though they are known for their strong defense and it seems the results are already visible with the readiness of each of these teams.

They're the best defending club in all of La Liga this season, I don't know where you got this news from. If they can hold down the highest goal scorer for As Roma ( Romelu Lukaku ) then they can win that game since Dusan Vlahovic has begin to score goals back for Juventus. He currently has a total of six goals score in the league while Lukaku has eight goals scored. They're two of the hottest players to look out for during that game.

Inter Milan are on another level, I don't see them declining, they're rather improving. Expecting a rise of Juventus could happen but Inter Milan have to lose a game or two before that happens. They remain the best attacking side in all of Seria A.
A team with Jose Mourinho can't be underrated, well, we'll see what happens.

Juventus is actually doing very well. And I have no doubt that they are definitely going to finish in the top four. Well, at least that's what I think looking at the current performance that they are showing right now.  I did say confidently that they are going to finish in the top four but obviously, that is only going to happen if they continue performing consistently.  Of course, if they become inconsistent that is not going to happen. But I have high hopes from them in this season.

That's right, Ancelotti's figure cannot be separated from Madrid success in leading the La Liga standings at the moment, his experience and strategy can bring Madrid through the challenges so far, which in conclusion. as you said, Madrid is lucky to be coached by Ancelotti. A tight match schedule, a storm of player injuries, and not having an ideal striker as a number 9. all of these challenges can be overcome well, so I think Perez should offer Ancelotti a new contract extension so he can stay longer at the Santiago Bernabeu.

It cannot be denied that Madrid and Girona form the two axes in the title race this season, but Barcelona and ATM also still have the opportunity to enliven the competition in the second half of the season. Apart from that, regarding Girona and their consistency going forward, there is no guarantee that they will remain stable, and so it would be a big surprise for all of us if they continue to compete closely with Madrid until the end of the season.
Yes, the second half of this season will be a big challenge for all teams in the hunt for the title. Barcelona, ​​​​Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Girona will try their best to get as many points as possible in each match, which means that each team still has a chance to win the title. Barcelona is currently 7 points behind Girona and Real Madrid, but that doesn't mean they have failed to defend their title this season. Likewise, Atletico Madrid, they still have the opportunity to lead the standings if they are able to take advantage of opportunities when the team above them slips.

Real Madrid indeed are lucky to have someone like Ancelotti. He is an experienced coach and I have been saying this everywhere that he brings the best out of the team that he is been given. But currently there are rumors about him leaving Real Madrid and joining Brazil at the end of the season. Before the start of this season, we also heard that Ancelotti might be leaving Real Madrid for Brazil but it didn't happen. But this season it looks like it is going to happen.

Brazil is currently struggling a lot, so Ancelotti could be the cure for them. On the other hand Real Madrid are doing very well right now, sitting at the top of the league, and went to the playoffs in UCL after being the group topper. Although last season, they did not have a good season, but Ancelotti is using his experience to recover this.

Bangladesh team showed great performance today. I thought Bangladesh team might not perform well in batting but batting and bowling did well in both. Bangladesh team did well in bowling line for which New Zealand team batsmen could not give much run target. New Zealand team target of 134 runs in 20 overs.  Bangladesh team came out to bat and won the match by scoring 137 runs in 18.4 overs. Bangladesh team batsman Litton Das scored 42 runs from 36 balls. Soumya Sarkar scored 22 runs from 15 balls.
Bangladesh team looked good from the start today and their bowling and batting performance was outstanding which led to win against New Zealand. Many thought that Bangladesh might not play very well against New Zealand today but it turned out to be the opposite and New Zealand did not play well for Bangladesh today. Bangladesh team had a good bowling performance today and from the beginning they put New Zealand team under a lot of pressure with wickets due to which New Zealand could not score many runs. And the Bangladesh team won brilliantly against New Zealand, the Bangladesh team was able to fulfill the target given by New Zealand very easily. However, 134 runs have been very easy for Bangladesh in this T20 match, but it remains to be seen how well the Bangladesh team can perform in the next matches for New Zealand. I think in the next matches New Zealand will definitely play well against Bangladesh and they can come to the field with the intention of winning.

To me, the Bangladeshi Bowlers are the ones who won the match for them. Bangladesh’s bowling has been the minor problem, their major problem still remains their batting. I still won't say that they have become good in terms of batting. Many of them still lack consistency. They lack T20 batters. Shak Mahedi would have been out for the sixes that he hit in the last part of the match. All of those would have been out if the stadium wasn't small on that part. Litton could have gotten out if Ish Sodhi had held that catch.

But their bowling is becoming better day by day. But their batting still remains the problem specially in away matches and against quality bowlers. But it feels great to see that Soumya Sarker back in a little bit of form and hopefully he continues his form. Looking forward to the T20 matches to see if Bangladesh actually improved.

Maybe the time has come for PCB to play some daring card. India vs Pakistan fixture in the ICC tournament does generate revenue, not the highest rating if we go by recent WC numbers but it's enough.

PCB could threaten ICC to boycott these tailormade (Keyword) fixtures, not publicly because it'd be dumb and they have already done that countless times. Instead, they should go privately when everyone is at the high table conference and pitch it. This move requires backbone, some planning, and most importantly for once PCB officials must think about Pakistan cricket first and not look for a shortcut or personal gains.

The problem is Pakistan did try that. And it did not work. Pakistan actually fired the people who made that decision and appointed new people if I am not wrong. So I don't think it is going to be a wise idea. But it is also true that Pakistan have to do something. Otherwise, things are not going to improve for them at all. I guess they should try something because they are already losing everything. The fixture of a whole tournament cannot be changed just because one team does not want to play right?

Even with the contract extension for Osimhen and new manager, I still think if there's a club willing to sign him right now, he would leave without blinking, mostly when it is to a top flight club like Real Madrid or Chelsea which has been rumoured to want to sign the striker..
He is a definitive player and a striker of class who just won the African player award. There's a lot still for him to prove about his worth and value and Napoli has only seen just a fraction of the potential he has to offer, hence why he should transfer out of the club in the January windows if possible.


Having Rudi Garcia as head coach dropped their performance and how they played leading to his drop in form and valuations. I think it's just a strategy for tu club to sell him for the right figure if he demands to leave. Napoli is not the club for him and not if they plan on a long term stay in the club with Walter Mazzari. No!

Exactly what you Said. Talks about Victor Oshime and his exit will grow silent for the main time. Failing to qualify for the Champions League would bring up talks about his sale and his management will definitely demand a huge fee for the Nigerian international. Real Madrid has no plans of getting him signed.

I don't know what Real Madrid is planning to do. But it definitely feels like Real Madrid should have gone for him. Because at least to me that made a lot more sense. But at the same time, if they are certain that they will be able to get Mbappe in the team, I think that is worth waiting for. But the only thing that I am thinking is nobody is certain if he is actually going to come to Real Madrid or not. Even though it feels like he is, he has done similar things previously you know. So I think that could have been a fail safe option for Real Madrid. But if they actually want to wait for him I guess that is okay.

The beauty of the football game is that Bayern Munich do not even need to beat Bayer Leverkusen, not at all. Bayern munich just needs to get maximum points whenever Bayer leverkusen drops points and the 4 points margin will vanish. Also, recall that Bayern Munich has a game advantage because they have played one game less than other teams in the league.

The title charge is on!!!
Bayern Munich's advantage is that they have good squad depth, but that doesn't guarantee that everything will go well until the end of the season. Leverkusen is more than that, they have a squad that is in its prime and also a young coach who has a modern vision in football, so as long as Leverkusen's strategy cannot be read by Bayern Munich or other teams, they will continue to move forward without losing. I don't doubt this considering that many big European teams are waiting for the arrival of Xabi Alonso and he is the coach who can revive Leverkusen since last season and this season they have far exceeded anyone's expectations. So, Bayern Munich should start to be wary of their chances of winning the title again this season because it could be stolen by Leverkusen.
Bayern Munich should be very careful this year because Borussia Dortmund, with whom they competed last year, was losing a lot of points, but this Leverkusen is very different from them. Xabi brought the team into harmony. Leverkusen is now starting to chant the championship loudly. Fans are excited. They can end Bayern Munich's championship hegemony this year.

Yes, I think Bayern Munich has the advantage that Leverkusen doesn't have which is having a really good squad depth. Even if some important player of the main 11 of Bayern Munich gets injured, they don't have much to worry about but on the other hand, if a very important player from Leverkusen gets injured I think Leverkusen will be in big trouble.  So that is also a reason why I don't think that Bayern Munich is not so worried about being behind in terms of points. But I believe one person is certainly worried and he is Harry Kane  Cheesy. He came here for the sole purpose of being able to win a trophy.
