Rome played a good game and also showed how good they are for Italy. Lazio Roma: But what was that?. They lost 5:1 against FC Midtjylland... how is that possible? They are in the top 10 in Serie A and have only allowed 5 goals in 6 games. And now 5 goals in one game, that's not normally possible. Manchester United: CR7 scored a goal, oha  The absolute defeat was quite surprising indeed, especially in this case they lost to a club that could be considered unseeded even I just found out there is a club called FC Midtjylland in Denmark because I rarely see league matches there. Ronaldo's first penalty and first goal in the Europa League hopefully he can play better even though his prestige is not the same as the Champions League  Maybe this goal will give him motivation in his next game. His off form may turn into on form again. It's sad to think that a world-class player like him is in such a bad state. Ronaldo may not be able to return to his former form but he can continue to try his best. |

A bit late to follow yesterday and today's games but I see weird stuff there..
Juve was leading with 1 goal and now they are late 1-2 vs Benfica!
PSG was late with 1 goal but at least they are leading 2-1..
City 0-1 vs Dortmund.. Chelsea 1-1 Salzburg..
At least Real Madrid and Napoli are leading with 1 goal, 10 minutes before the end of these games!
(OK City scored 1-1 now)
Manchester city rose in the last minute. are now 2-1 up. Dortmund must be upset. because they can lead initially for a long time. but at the last minute now manchester city can even overtake him with 2 goals. what an amazing Drama that Manchester city is showing. as a Manchester city fan I am happy to see this score. and Real madrid also showed what he was capable of in the dying minutes and now they are 2-0 up. but i also bet for sevilla. but still 0-0. I was also quite surprised by the Dortmund game. They played very well against Manchester City. Their defense was quite strong, preventing Manchester City from attacking. Despite leading by one goal, they were beaten by Haaland in the last minute. |

I think, it will be difficult for PSG to win this season trophy because their starting in this UEFA champions competition, showed that they will not go far in this season if their coach continue benching some of the players that know how to attract early goals on the first half. If PSG coach can work on their midfield before their next match, I believe there will be massive change, because their strikers are lacking help from their midfielders. I don't think Ajax can defeat Manchester city in this season, because many things has changed in Manchester city in this season that will make them unbeatable through out this tournament.
It's too early to talk about PSG chances of winning the Champions League trophy this season because the UCL journey is still in the group stage. Anyone can predict any club to win the UCL trophy, but in football there are no accurate predictions. The Champions League competition, which is participated in by elite European teams, always provides intense competition and often surprising things happen in it. To win the UCL trophy, team cohesiveness is needed and always shows consistent performances in the matches played, only a team that is able to give the best performance and has a winning mentality can win the UCL trophy. Yes, it's still too early to talk about UCL Champion Prediction, there is still a long way to go and to become a champion requires a team mentality. I don't think PSG has a compact and balanced team. Just a load of superstars. And they don't get enough competition in Ligue 1 to hone their skills in the Champions League. Of course they might win it, but I don't think it's possible. As for PSG, I don't think they will go far in the Champions League. Although they have the best players in their team, PSG's coach is unable to utilize them. A player like Messi now has to play as a midfielder even though his position is a winger. Just waiting for time to see what they can do. |

Finally the premiere league is returning today there is an interesting game between aston villa and southampton, aston villa team are in a dangerous position barely outside the relegation zone they need a win today it will be their second it won't be easy but its a must do, their draw against man city should boost their moral and the odd for their win is really good.
Four times accepting defeat is a disappointing result for Aston Villa. I don't see this game going to be interesting because I saw Aston Villa struggle away from the relegation zone. Southampton too, but they have better stats than Aston Villa have. Making Southampton the winner would probably be more profitable in my opinion. Yes they have a slightly better chance than the hosts. Indeed Aston Villa have a bad result, there is no improvement at all because their opponent continues to lose, the last match was a draw so this result is still not good for Aston Villa because what Steven Gerard has done has not made Aston Villa rise. Tonight against Southampton will be tough too but sometimes Aston Villa always surprises me but I see Southampton more chances @3.50 is promising but will it be easy for Southampton to win? Because the article is Aston Villa will try to rise up against an equal team. Aston Villa is undoubtedly a good team. They always play classic football. They have a good goalkeeper. The rest of their players also play well. It remains to be seen what Aston Villa will do in their next game. However, their opponents are also quite strong. |

A player of the month award has been awarded to Erling Haaland in the Premier League for August. Despite being so young, this guy has made an incredible start. There is no denying his perfection when it comes to scoring goals; the man is a scoring machine. There have been 9 goals in 5 games so far. It would seem that he has adjusted well to his new role as a scorer for Man City.
This is something that is certain because we know his quality at Manchester City is so good that he deserves to be the player of the month. I think Haaland will continue to get this achievement because until now his performance has been really very good and the goal ratio he has created so far is really amazing. Indeed, Haaland is a world-class striker. His role at Manchester City is huge. Most of the games won so far go to Haaland. I am sure he deserves to be the best goal scorer in the league. Manchester City have the potential to be champions to his form. |

All credit goes to xavi for improving Barcelona performance in less than one year. Xavi became coach of Barcelona in 2021 October and before the year ended he already changed the performance of team. What xavi has done is something that may take some coaches even more than a year. Thanks to xavi.
Yes Xavi was the first to change Barcelona's style of play. He ignored some of the critics when he first came to Barcelona. And the results we see now, Barcelona have again found something they were missing, and that's thanks to Xavi Hernandez. Now he has the players he wants, so he can easily implement what he wants. Since Xavi joined Barcelona, 17 matches have gone without a loss away from home. Xavi Hernandez is to be congratulated as we are all happy to see the boys performing so well, but we shouldn't get too excited just yet since it is a new season and I am looking forward to seeing how he implements the tactics. Since Barca beat Cadiz for the first time in a long time, because of there was something missing, but Xavi brought everything together. Arguably, Xavi has given Barcelona his life back. In the middle, Barcelona became an almost unrecognizable Barcelon. But Xavi came in and put together a great team of youngsters himself that won the hearts of all Barcelona supporters. Now it is satisfying to watch Barcelona play. But don't be so optimistic, the season has just started, we will have to wait a little longer to know the fate of Barcelona. |

In my opinion, United need to maintain an already solid formation, which is to hone their sharpness and cohesiveness to be more consistent in every game (and not rotate everything or only give Maguire a portion of playing time). I think Ronaldo needs more time on the pitch he loses form. The more he plays the more he will score goals
Ronaldo's performance at this time has started to be different and I think everyone should know that too (including you too) because he is no longer young and he will tire more easily if given a long playing time in every game. In fact, it would be better if Ronaldo did not play more time in each game because he can also have a good effect on the team in terms of outwitting his opponent at the start of the game. I also agree, from what I can tell from watching Ronaldo's game, his good performance is hindered by his age. He doesn't have the same breath as before. He should change his style of playing, I think he can perform better if he plays short time instead of full time. In fact, it's sad to think that a player like him is having a bad day. |

After Australia set a target of 268 I was almost certain that Australia would win this match. Because recently the performance of New Zealand batsmen is not very good. On the other hand, the Australian bowlers were in very good form. And in today's match too, the performance of Australia's bowlers was quite good.
New Zealand managed to collect 242 runs today. I thought they would lose all wickets before 200. But they continued to fight till the end to win the match. New Zealand did not win even one of the three matches. It is indeed very shameful for them.
Both the teams played very good cricket. Watching these teams play is fun because you have to wait until the last ball of the game to confirm the winner. Australia's batsmen performed well and scored 267 for the loss of 5 wickets, which is a normal score in the ODI format. New Zealand's batsmen keep losing their wickets which in my opinion could be the reason for their short run defeat. |

FIFA World Cup is the most popular sports event in the plant and if I am not wrong it is even more popular than the Olympics. So these players are getting an opportunity to showcase their skills for the first time in front of billions of people. Especially for smaller teams such as Tunisia, Costa Rica and Cameroon, this is like a once in a lifetime opportunity. If some of the players perform well against some of the top sides, then the clubs will be interested in signing them. I would not count the European teams, because they already have the Euro Cup.
World cup is the biggest sport tournament in the world for sure. Nothing is even close and nothing can compere to it no matter what anyone says. So many people are watching this and every year there is a new record. Even the people from US are now seeing how big football(soccer) is. And this is a golden opportunity that they may never have again. They will do everything in their power on the pitch. After all they definitely want to have a career in a big team. The World Cup is one way to promote themselves to the teams they are aiming for. Because I'm sure they must have a dream team in their career. But let me go to another topic. The World Cup is a big platform, like every year, there are many new young players in all the teams. The World Cup is a place for them to compete, I think they can show their talent and take themselves to a much better place. The World Cup is not a formality, it is an event to take world football to a better place. |

I see the schedule on Google all EPL matches in this week were postponed. I don't think it's a problem, the Queen is a person who has a big influence there and it's out of the schedule plan, we have to respect it. Usually, if it is postponed, this will be done at the end of the season. It will probably be a little longer but I don't think it's a problem.
That's one of the advantages also because they have longer pauses. Although the top clubs have a busy schedule because they have played in the UCL and the Europa League.
This is a step taken in honor of Queen Elizabeth. True this is not a problem, in fact this is a good opportunity for a team that is in bad form, although we can't deny this may be a loss for a team that is in good form because they have to postpone the game when their game is convincing. But it's not a big problem if they can cope with the coach's instructions to maintain their form. Queen Elizabeth was a respected figure in the world. Such a move is logical on his death. But we will see in time how this break will affect the players. But I think this break will see the teams discuss their mistakes and come back to the field with new form. |

The good news is that we can still buy beer in Qatar during the 2022 FIFA world cup. because the FIFA has held intensive talks with the organizers. because this issue is important to FIFA. because after all the producer of Budweiser Beer has been the main sponsor of FIFA for almost three decades. And taking into account the World Cup spectators who also came from outside Qatar. then later there will be a stand selling beer near the stadium door. so the audience can still enjoy a beer while watching the game.
I think its not a big issue and football can continue even if there is a ban on alcohol and other restrictions. The world must understand that every country has its own values and we must respect those value. Alcohol is ban in Qatar since its an Islamic country but since Qatar has bowed then its good for alcohol lovers. It is our moral value to follow the rules of every country. Since Qatar is going to host the best World Cup in history, they can make rules to end it successfully. It is our moral duty to respect that rule. Hope all of us who are going to watch the game live will watch the game with the rules in mind. Hope we all enjoy the World Cup. |

Matchday two of the Champions League between Liverpool and Ajax is the most crucial match for Liverpool. In this match the Reds must win in order to maintain hope to qualify for the knockout phase. However, the performances of these two teams are contradictory, previously Liverpool were massacred by Napoli with a fairly landslide score, while Ajax were able to reap full points. Liverpool benefited a little because the Premier League was temporarily closed, of course this moment will be used by Klopp to restore player fitness and develop the right strategy to bring Liverpool back to winning ways.
Ajax are a bit like Napoli in that they are attacking teams, but Ajax attack even more than Napoli in their matches, and this suggests that Ajax will score against Liverpool. Betting against Liverpool at Anfield is very risky, in front of their fans they can show the best game, although I like Ajax more now, if they win it will not be a surprise. Even if Ajax play as well as Napoli, I'll put Liverpool ahead for me. Ajax are currently performing well but it will take time for them to match Liverpool. Liverpool are capable of returning to form at any moment. Everyone's day may not always go well. But I want to put Liverpool ahead of Ajax. |

Again it was just a practice match for both the teams. Both are going to work on their weakness as this dead rubber match hardly decides the Asia cup winner.
Pakis still ranks at 3rd when winning the Asia cup so they should aim for big. With this, they might come close to SL in terms of trophies (just little bit) and it's very much possible if their batters clicks.
Both Srilanka and Pakistan are unpredictable. The last match might have been a practice match with Srilanka winning it but that does not mean they would again repeat the same performance. With the Afghanistan match who would have expected a known bowler like Shaheen Shah to hit two consecutive sixes? I would watch the finals with an open mind and enjoy the finals today which I am expecting to be interesting. A bowler naturally gets nervous when he is going to deliver for the last over. Fazalhaq Farooqi was a good bowler and everyone expected that 12 runs in 1 over was never possible from that position in favor of Naseem Shah when it was the last wicket. Unfortunately the bowler deliver full touch ball both of the two balls and the batsman exploits that opportunity as well. I too agree that Fazalhaq Farooqi would not have given two full tosses in any other circumstances. He got over looked by a lot of pressure. At the same time, Naseem Shah was also brave enough to hit those tow balls out of the ground and made a victory for Pakistan which will be remembered for a long long time. For today's match, it wil be the Pakistan who are the favorite but if somehow, they loss the toss, then it would become indeed interesting. I also want to keep Pakistan ahead in today's game, they played very well in this tournament. They will play their best today. Maybe they have planned a lot to win. But there is no reason to think of Sri Lanka as small at all. They have also beaten teams like India. Hope to enjoy today's game. |

Madrid will reclaim back their top position for the new week today as the play Mallorca later in the day at Santiago Bernabéu. Mallorca haven't had a good start this season and will have to concede more goals today while the Los Vikingos will see this as a sweet opportunity to gather points to stay un beaten while the compete with their strongest rival now for the title
For sure if real madrid meets Mallorca, Real Madrid will definitely win and have 3 points which make them to be on the position of stands. Real Madrid does not have problem in winning small teams, the only challenge Real Madrid have is if they can be able to defeat Barcelona. Barcelona is the only threat to real madrid in laliga. I agree with you, Real Madrid is a team with high potential. They will get an easy win in today's game and go one step further. But the league has only just begun. It is not very easy to say what a team is like now. |

Barcelona met the expectations and got a solid win. Lewandowski added a big strength to the team right after entering the match. He contributed to three goals in total. If we were watching the previous version of Barcelona with Koeman this match would have ended by a loss or draw probably. But so many things changed about the team after Xavi's arrival.
Atletico Madrid also had a great day by destroying Celta Vigo 4-1. I was expecting a win though but this was more than I waited for. They are a really unpredictable team as it is difficult to guess when they would be able to get big wins like this. Inconsistency isn't a good thing but we are still at the beginning of the season of course.
Atletico Madrid is always a good team. Their team plays very well. Atlético Madrid's coach knows how to play well. The understanding of their team players is excellent. They always try to play catch up. They are at number 4 in the league. They got a big win in the last match which will give them motivation in the next match. |

Bayern Munich having a bad time currently after their draw with Stuttgart. For the first time since 2009/10, the Bavarians have drawn their 3rd straight Bundesliga games. Julian Nagelsmann not happy as he misses Robert Lewandowski, not just him but the team and the fans. Lewandowski is the highest goal scorer in Laliga and also in the champions league. Netting 5 goals in Laliga and 3 in goals in the champions league. A good start for the Poland international and believe me, he's a big threat in Laliga and UEFEA.
Bayern Munich is undoubtedly a good football team. They also play pretty good football. They also have high quality players in their team. But now Lewandowski has had a special impact on the team after leaving their team. Their team is having a bad time which we can understand to draw with Stuttgart. I think it will take some time for Bayern Munich to get back to their previous form. |

Manchester City are shown as the biggest candidate to become the champions in this tournament now. Bookmakers are favouring them at the moment. It is easy to understand of course as they are too impressive after signing Haaland. They have a much stronger squad compared to the previous season especially thanks to him. Guardiola's system is already amazing as always. You might say that they couldn't become the champions last but it was a really unlucky journey for them. Real Madrid were nearly out of the Champions League but they made an epic comeback.
No wonder they are strong candidates now because there have been some improvements, especially in their attack, but actually things like this are quite natural for them because if we flashback to the previous few seasons also Manchester City have always been strong candidates in the Champions League and that's just " candidate" never came true because their best achievement only reached the final. Manchester City is undoubtedly a good team. They always play a very fast game, all the players in the team are very smart. Pep Guardiola is the coach to develop the talents of the players. We have been seeing this continuity of the team for a long time. They have the ability to beat any team. Their team is moving towards achieving something better. |

Yes the way Afghanistani's batsmen are playing is very disappointing. Currently they lost 6 wickets and the run is 26 in 8 over . Bhuvneshwar Kumar get 5 wicket and gives only 4 runs . This is one of the best bowling record on his career. And Afghanistan is now at only 43/6 in 11 overs and the Current run rate is below 4 and the required run rate is over 20. Now I think this is quite impossible for Afghanistan to win today's match. I think they won't be able to cross 80 runs today .
Cant believe its the same Afghanistan they played so good against Pakistan. Today they allowed India to score 212 runs and in reply at the moment they are 67 for 7 in 15 overs. Afghanistan always do such kind of performance i.e. play too good against Pakistan and give worst performance against India. This match is fixed and/or Afghanistan always supports Indians and they want Indians to win. If you see history, this is always the case. You can judge yourself their performance with Srilanka / Pakistan and today's performance against India. Also, this was the game plan, that Afghanistan will lose badly to India to give India a run rate advantage in case Afghanistan had won the last match against Pakistan but fortunately, Pakistan did not let this manipulation work as they beat Afghanistan and through to the finals. India is not really supposed to win by such a big margin, because Afghanistan is a very good team. They have very good spinners. Then they lost to India by a big margin. Maybe they have a plan, it took India to leave the Asia Cup. However, the supporters expected something good from India in the Asia Cup, but India could not fulfill their expectations. |

India have been eliminated from the Asia Cup but their results in today's match will give some satisfaction. Kohli's amazing batting performance seems to have regained the rhythm in Indian cricket. Their lore will be tougher in the upcoming T20 World Cup. They will try their best with the upcoming T20 World Cup. I am really enjoying today's game. India threw a big target against Afghanistan. Kohli is back to his old self, but such a performance was needed in the previous game. But today's game will give them confidence for the next matches. India is undoubtedly a good team. However, they could not do anything in the Asia Cup this time. Surely will achieve something good in the upcoming T20 World Cup. |

I don't know why you're blaming the Arsenal defenders, I think Odegaard was underperform since he's not give good pass for Jesus, I'd say Odegaard is a key player for Arsenal since most of chances are depend on him, Jesus is only an executor.
Mikel Arteta seems like either mad or trolling since he place Nketiah who're mainly a center forward position replace Zinchenko on left back position and Vieira who're mainly a center attacking midfielder position replace Lokonga on central defensive midfielder position. That's the strategy that was in Arteta's mind when Arsenal trailed 2-1 to Manchester United. Arteta wants to play a total attacking strategy that allows his team to create more scoring opportunities. However things did not go according to plan as Manchester United were again 3-1 ahead of Arsenal. But do we have to talk more about the defeat, I think Arsenal have only lost once, nothing more. But fans have every right to be disappointed. I really wonder how much good they will be able to return to this league.
---
But still I think Liverpool can win by 1-0 or 2-1. If in the end you think Liverpool can come back to win, I don't think you need to worry about their poor performance in the Champions League. Wolves are an unpredictable team, so let's see how Klopp handles it later. Losing to Napoli is a shame for Liverpool. The 4-1 goal gap surprised me, no one expected this kind of performance from Liverpool. They need to find out the team's mistakes and correct them. Also all players must be responsible. I doubt what Liverpool will do this time. Hope they come back again. |
