I think this week will end really badly for Manchester City. Because I believe Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa all are in a situation to be able to win their games this week. Liverpool can win against Manchester United home easily while Manchester United are bad at defending. Arsenal should be able to beat Brighton home as well.

Aston Villa are playing an away game against Brentford but Brentford are really bad this season. They were able to win only once on their last 5 game weeks in the league. I don't think they can hold off Aston Villa from winning another game.

Yes, Man City lost points where they should have earned them... Arsenal and Liverpool can really widen the gap in the standings... As for Aston Villa, I think they are really favourites to win against Brentford... But Aston Villa have a bad away record against Brentford... I think they might draw...

The performance of Manchester City has deteriorated drastically. Do not think anyone actually expected this performance from them. And let's also remember that all the other teams that are ahead of them, all three have played one match less compared to them. So now the gap in terms of points can actually be much bigger than it is right now. Manchester City better not lose any more upcoming matches. Otherwise, they will not be able to defend the English Premier League title successfully.

New Zealand started batting with a target of 25 runs, but New Zealand did not seem to be able to score 25 runs. New Zealand is already losing wickets fast. Right now New Zealand have scored 236 runs in 29.3 balls for the loss of 5 wickets. However, if Bangladesh can bat a little better today, it may be possible to win against New Zealand. But hope Bangladesh can perform well and win today's match against New Zealand.
NewZealand outstanding performance against Bangladesh and won the 1st ODi match by 44 runs by DLS method. The player of the match is Will Young for his amazing batting performances scored a century 105 runs in just 84 balls and set a good total of 240 runs for Bangladesh in 30 overs. Bangladesh only manage to score 200 runs by loss of 9 wickets in 30 overs and lost match by 44 runs. From Bangladesh Anamul Haque played good inning of 43 runs in 39 balls but his strike rate it not too good and Afifi Hossain only scored 38 runs in 28 balls but failed to chase down the target. Josh Clarkson outstanding bowling performance picked 2 important wickets.

New Zealand lost their seven-wicket and the player who came to bat in this seven-wicket was played very poorly but some players made runs like Will Young and Tom Latham.

The other player just made zero runs or one run. Rachin Ravindra, and Henry Nicholls both failed to make runs. The both players made zero runs and both used just 2 balls. Josh Clarkson, The vice-captain Tom Blundell made just one run and after one run they lost their wicket.

Adam Milne also made one run but he was not out because the innings was finished. Mark Chapman made 20 runs but it is not good runs, they don't had any advantage of those 20 runs.

Bangladesh lost this match by 44 runs. There are some things that I do not understand about Bangladesh. First of all, I do not understand why Soumya Sarkar is still getting chances. Secondly, I do not understand why Shanto is the captain of Bangladesh. And thirdly I also do not understand why Mehidy Miraz is batting so much down the order. If anything, he should be the opener in place of Soumya Sarkar. And they should play a different player in place of him. Now let's try to make a stable performance. But they were losing wickets pretty regularly. On the other hand, only two players performed for New Zealand and that was enough.

Pakistani fans should not be disappointed with these results in Australia. You guys are not alone, almost every visiting team gets the same treatment whenever they tour Australia.

Before Proteas used to win and compete against Australia in Australia, nowadays it's just India so according to traditions at one time, Aussie only allows one team to win or compete in Australia and everything is going according to plans, your time will also come.

I don't think Pakistan will win the Test match against Australia, but I guess the match will be competitive. Pakistan have a strong batting order. However, Pakistan's overall performance against Australia was poor. The bowlers did not perform well, while the performance of the batsmen was very poor. While Australia managed to score 487 runs in the first innings, Pakistan scored only 271 runs. Pakistani bowlers are not doing well in the second innings as well. Pakistani bowlers picked up two wickets quite quickly but Usman Khawaja and Steven Smith batting very responsibly. Australia lead by 300 runs at the end of the third day.

Well, I will actually say that Pakistani fans might eventually disappointed. Because a better performance from Pakistan was definitely expected by everyone. You know that pitch was not very bad. Pakistan could make a lot of runs on this track. Pakistan simply just failed to score. And now Australia is scoring fine on this track. So I don't think they actually have anything to complain about.  Pakistan just performed badly. Pakistan should know that it is something they are going to face whenever they play a test match against another country. That's why test cricket has become boring and most of the time one-sided.

Liverpool has won the UEFA European League and the last time was in 2001. This shows that they have a good history with the UEFA European League. But even so, they have to be ready and focused because the teams from the Champions League are certainly strong teams that should not be underestimated. So far I see AC Milan as the most likely to beat Liverpool. But we also see that other teams are also quite strong, such as Leverkusen, West Ham or Brighton.
How does it feel to sits down without any any vision of keep trying everything. I'm yet to see any improving case were Liverpool will stood so low to losing average clubs despite them not been in the League. Jurgen Klopp will mapping solid chances of winning. I think Jurgen Klopp have to be careful against these clubs coming to Europa league from UEFA Champions League football. But on a second thought, Liverpool is elite club and they don't have fears playing tougher clubs this season. Rather we have good winnings that will shocked everything within an estimated time.
Correct. I personally am not worried about Liverpool's performance in the Europa League. Because as far as I can see this season, Liverpool is even much stronger than the teams that were eliminated from the Champions League in the group stage yesterday. Because the quality of Liverpool's game is currently almost on par with Man City. And of course Liverpool will definitely remain favorites in the European League. Because the most appropriate place for Liverpool is actually in the UCL. Unfortunately last season they started badly so they had difficulty catching points in the Premier League standings because they recovered a little late. And yes, Liverpool's track record in the European League is very good. And I'm sure Jurgen Klopp will not let Liverpool be embarrassed in the Europa League. Because Liverpool must be ready to go to the UCL next season.

Liverpool is performing really well. And I personally think that Liverpool is actually targeting both the UEFA Europa League and also the English Premier League right now. Of course, they got a little help from Manchester City because Manchester City was not able to win matches consistently. But Liverpool is still performing pretty well regardless. So I think Liverpool is one of the best competitors for the Europa League title if not the best. For the English Premier League, right now I am not going to say that they are going to win the English Premier League, but they are definitely finishing in the top four.

I definitely don't believe ETH is a bad manager. Both what he achieved at ajax and what he achieved last year, making manchester 3rd, winning the league cup, playing in the final of the fa cup and losing 2-1 to city in a close game, eliminating barcelona in the uefa and losing to sevilla who would have won the cup, etc. show that he is a good manager. But this year he is doing incomprehensible things. For example, when they made the transfer of Höjlund, it was very irrational. It is still very irrational. There are those who make haaland comparisons, but he is a young version of weghorst. He is 2 years younger than haaland. 2 years ago haaland was in the bundesliga and the champions league playing amazing. This guy has no goals in 12 games and I don't think he'll score 10 goals at the end of the season. Let's say he doesn't score goals, he contributes something to the game, but he doesn't. In fact I think he spoils the team's game. That is an example of what was wrong with ETH and that's why they performed horribly in the CL and conceded 15 goals.

Nah! He remains a good manager he's just being unlucky with Injuries and some of the players available cannot help project his tactics.
What he achieved for the club last season is evident enough, you can't just right him off. I can recall the game against Barcelona very well, he read game very well and made good substitution ( bringing Fred in the guide the midfied ) Anthony was able to give Manchester United the winner. He got this issues when Lisandro Martinez got Injured against Sevilla. Building from back has worked for him in a way. Having no Lisandro Martinez behind makes that difficult for him.

Rasmus Hojlund ain't no bad player, have you asked yourself how many chances they've created for him? Just same way City does for Erling Haaland. I hate comparisons but Manchester United should do better with creating chances for the striker. ( I have personal issues with Rashford for not always passing the ball for Rasmus )

Now your idea of Wout Weghorst is wrong, he didn't score so much goals for United agreed, but he had a very high rating when it comes to work rate. They say he's lazy, but he's not too lazy to track down balls for Manchester United just like Rashford did against Newcastle.

I am pretty surprised that you still think he is a good coach and he's just being unlucky. He is just bad. And he will not be able to make Manchester United improve. In my opinion, he never was able to improve Manchester United.  And now it is just evident. That's why people are actually losing their minds. In my opinion, he was never a good coach. He had no clear plan of what to do. He just tried a bunch of things and previously that seemed to work out for some reason. But now it is not working anymore.

Regarding the news that Ten Hag will be fired from Manchester United, it doesn't seem to make him feel anxious and at the press conference held, Ten Hag stated that he was not worried about the dismissal he might receive after the match against Liverpool if Manchester United loses.
And of course everyone knows that Manchester United has no chance of winning that match because it is certain that Bruno Fernandes who is also the captain, will be absent due to suspension.
In addition, Harry Maguire who suffered hamstring injury was also absent from the match, while Luke Shaw also suffered hamstring injury.
Even though Harry Maguire is not defender who can really contribute very well, at least the absence of these three players could put more pressure on Ten Hag to be able to perform optimally in the match against Liverpool later.
However, there are several rumors stating that there is still hope that Maguire and Shaw can appear in the match against Liverpool.
But this is still just rumor and there is no definite clarity regarding the progress of these two players, whether they can still play or have to undergo recovery.

Ten Hag will really use his intelligence to make Manchester United perform well if the two players who were injured after the match against Bayern Munich were unable to appear against Liverpool.
It shame because apart from losing, they also suffer from or players suffer injuries.

I don't know if Lisandro Martinez would be fit enough to return for this intensed game tommorow, maybe not it would be Rapheal Varane and Luke Shaw. Don't also expect too much from Manchester United and the players. The mentality of the players all reduced right now. Liverpool players also have been tested ahead of this game. What I'm certain if is that they won't beat Manchester United with anything more three goals to nil.

Erik Ten Hag hasn't gotten his tactics right in a couple few games, I would love to see if he can continue his away form again against Liverpool. I don't really like how the defenders shaped against Bayern Munich.

I hope he gets fired. he has not brought in any improvement honestly. The only thing he has been able to do is give the Manchester United fans hope. False Hope I should say. Because none of the promises that he has actually made are actually done by him. At this point I feel like he is literally scamming Manchester United. He kicked out a lot of really good players and he kept the players who can actually make his ego boost. I don't know what he says in some certain players, I hope people understand which players I'm talking about, but it seems like whatever happens he is going to keep them in the club.

The thing that gets me depressed the most is when I hear about the halving next year and how bitcoin prices may be influenced positively. I wish i could just have some amount of Bitcoin. However, seeing the price of bitcoin now i became restless if the price will soon go higher and i may not afford it.

What you were experiencing earlier is known as FOMO (Fear of missing out), I hope you do not panic when the price suddenly dives. In such situation you should stay calm and remember Bitcoin always bounces back.

I was also about to say this, what I feel is that the OP is just being Fomo because he has seen the price of bitcoin continuously increasing for the past 2 months, and he is afraid of missing the train. Although the halving is approaching and bitcoin's recovery is natural, I believe that bitcoin will soon have a correction and even strong shaking. I hope OP will hold on to his bitcoins and not sell in the coming panic. He is enjoying the joy of owning bitcoin and I don't want to disappoint him but investing without knowledge and Fomo is very dangerous.

I don't know who created these tokens but I have been following the BRC20 trend for the past few days to make profits and as far as I know, Chinese speculators are the ones behind the recent pumps of BRC20 tokens. Although bitcoin was not created as an investment or speculation, it is clear that the majority of those participating in this market are looking to make a profit. There are not too many people aiming to support the bitcoin revolution without any benefits. And BRC20 is generating huge profits so I believe that even though many people complain about bitcoin transaction fees, they still quietly invest in these meme tokens. Because no one criticizes money.

There have been some opinions that investing in bitcoin with a capital of $50 is very small, so I want to know more clearly whether you only intend to invest $50 in bitcoin or if you will continue to invest more later when understand this market ? If you only want to invest a single $50 and no more then I agree with some people that investing in bitcoin won't make any difference for you . With this small capital, you are better off looking for some altcoins because the volatility of altcoins is greater and can make a difference for you .

I can't imagine how a 9 year old kid  knows bitcoin that deep, maybe His parents are aso into bitcoin that teaches Him since younger age about what is bitcoin and how great this is to the people.
It is even hard for me to teach bitcoin to my youngest but here this boy showing like a mentor to his classmate about bitcoin.

I would call him a prodigy like some other prodigies because many families have parents who are farmers but their children can still become mathematical geniuses and computer engineers at a young age . So , just because a 9-year-old has deep expertise in bitcoin doesn't necessarily mean their parents are also bitcoin investors.

I admire this boy but I wouldn't rely on this to force my children to learn about bitcoin when they are young and they don't like bitcoin . Bitcoin is not the only way to help us succeed and many people were successful even before bitcoin was created .
831  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 14, 2023, 12:43:09 PM
Recently, David Alaba has been making frequent mistakes and that's not only in the Champions League but in La Liga too. However, it seems that his position will not be replaced considering that Real Madrid no longer has a defender option after Militao has not yet recovered from injury. Ancelotti not only trusted him but also gave him the task of leading the defense and that is why David Alaba became an important figure for Real Madrid's defense. He also often helps in attacks and of course we still remember his cross against Napoli a few weeks ago before finally finishing well with Jude Bellingham's header which resulted in a goal.

Of course, as a very experienced player, David Alaba must correct his mistakes and this will also have a full impact on Real Madrid's defensive strength in La Liga and if he can progress well then Real Madrid will not be easily broken down by their opponents.
Real Madrid may be struggling due to the absence of important players as well as inconsistent performance from the players. Carlo Ancelotti is present to put everything to the test, winning becomes vital, and Real Madrid has everything they need to prevail. However, there are mistakes in the defense lines; we know the workload on these defenders is difficult. David Alaba may make numerous mistakes in the Real Madrid backline, but he quickly recovers and returns to form before anybody noticed. He should be given time to rest because he handle important roles in backlines.



Now Real Madrid was very dominating in this match. But Real Madrid was also in a spot of bother. Towards the end of the match, if they were not able to score, they would have had to come out from the match with a draw. I will say that Real Madrid had a positive thing to take away from this match. Which was Joselu really performed well in this match. I wonder if Real Madrid is actually going to trust him with the striker position. I still think Real Madrid needs to get someone better. But at the same time if he ends up improving a lot, maybe Real Madrid will not have to do that.

Australia ends up the day at 346/5, and almost half of those runs were made by David Warner (164 from 211 balls). None of the other Australian batsmen could make a half-century, and that shows how he dominated the Pakistani batsmen. Usman Khawaja was the second highest scorer with 41, followed by 40 from Travis Head. The two debutants for Pakistan (Aamer Jamal and Khurram Shahzad) shared three wickets between them, while the more experienced bowlers went for plenty. My guess is that Australia may end with 400-450, which is still not enough to enforce follow on. 


Performance from Australia is looking really good right now. They still have five wickets in hand and they have already got a huge score of 346. Even though most of the scoring was done by only one man. But anyway, this is definitely a very big score. I think they could easily go to 450 and after that end their innings. Even if they do not get all out, they are going to declare. Pakistan is definitely going to have a hard time winning this match. And if Pakistan can also perform as well as them in this match, we are looking towards another drawn test match.

If those who follow club football games are asked about their favorite club, then most of the fans will probably answer that their favorite club is either Barcelona or Real Madrid. If Barcelona and Real Madrid have so many fans, if Girona wins the La Liga title, the fans will probably not be too disappointed because they are used to winning trophies. La Liga will look more interesting and competitive when a new team wins the La Liga title. Apart from Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atlético Madrid, we never thought that any other team would ever win the La Liga title, but this season we may be looking at it. Girona are going according to plan from the start and they will have to go according to plan until the end. Ultimately, if things go according to plan, they could win the La Liga title this season.
That is the reason why there is a whole "smaller teams wins once" type of culture, and not even that happens all that much, Valencia in 2003-2004 is the last winner outside of top three, that should tell you how rare it is for anyone else to win. I am not saying Girona will not win, but even if they do, we all know it will be just one year for them. Same with Premier league, there are some good teams, stuff like Leicester city rarely happens and when it does, we see how it ended up for them in the end.

We need to realize that Girona has just one year that they can win, either they win it this season if they are lucky or if not then they are not going to be good at all and they will never have this chance again in the future.

This is where I fully disagree because Girona is structured differently than, for instance, Leicester City when they won the Premier League. Girona is built from the ground up with a successful future in mind. Does anyone here think that a miracle is happening in Girona?

The brother and advisor of Pep Guardiola owns the Girona Football Group and this group in turn owns 44.3% of Girona. This means the City Football Group and the Girona Football Group own almost 90% of the club. Now does anyone understand what is going on there?

I will make a bold prediction: the chance that Pep Guardiola will sign a contract with in the future with Girona is higher than zero! Smiley This club has a serious plan and what could be more profitable than establishing a football club in the top of La Liga that belongs to the Guardiola family?

Just because something has a chance of happening, does not mean it is going to happen. Just because there is a chance for Pep to sign a contract with Girona, and just because it is higher than zero, does not mean that he is actually going to do it. It again comes to the same thing like, just because it is possible doesn't mean it is probable.  And at the same time, just because Girona is performing well so far in this season, does not mean that they are actually going to do it consistently, especially throughout the whole season. Let alone in the next season.
834  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 14, 2023, 03:25:00 AM

In the next match I think Cagliari will have difficulty because their opponent is a pretty tough team even though Napoli have not had good results lately but Napoli's opponents are big clubs, namely Juventus and Inter Milan, I think in this match Napoli will win, especially since this match will Taking place at Napoli's home ground, Napoli will of course get the full 3 points.
I think this will actually be an opportunity for Napoli so that they can restore their form after several matches that did not match expectations even with Mazzari as coach.
Currently Mazzari is still required to make changes in the performance of Napoli but until now the development is still the same and even tends to still decline even though in the last 2 matches it counts as a Big Match but still a defeat for Napoli is unacceptable.

Cagliari is not a strong opponent and Napoli will play home in this match so it will be very funny if in the end Napoli have to lose again in this match and prove that Mazzari is also the same as Rudi Garcia who was unable to restore Napoli's performance like last season.
Now I think they will not be able to defend the Scudetto but they still have to fight to return to a decent position at least for the Europa League next season.
That's right, Napoli have to think rationally for now and take the opportunities available. Creating consistency in the remaining matches in the future and targeting finishing in the top four of the standings at the end of the season, I think the UCL zone is feasible for Napoli. The opportunity to overtake Inter Milan is considered impossible, meaning that Napoli chances of retaining the Scudetto this season are very small. In terms of the Scudetto hunt, Juventus and Inter are the two most promising teams at the moment.

On the other hand, the Napoli versus Cagliari match must be finished by securing full points, because on paper Mazzarri squad has all the attributes to make the match go in their favor. Even though we know that surprises could happen, because Cagliari has the ambition to stay away from the relegation zone. I think, after ensuring they qualify for the last 16 of the UCL, Napoli can now shift their focus completely to Serie A, and they must try not to lose points by drawing or losing again.

Honestly, the next match for Napoli should not be a big problem for them to get 3 points out of even though they are not in the best of form right now. Because after all, they are going to play against a team that is literally trying to stay out of the relegations right now. So even though Cagliari was able to win the last match that they have played, I don't think they are actually going to win against Napoli. But don't get me wrong, they might actually get one point from this match. That is not impossible in my opinion. If anything, looking at the current form of Napoli, I will say that it is actually very much doable.

BBL #13: Melbourne Stars vs Perth Scorchers

Bad batting from Melbourne Stars, 101 is no score to defend.

Easy win for Perth Scorchers, could have ended even early had Connolly stayed on ground for some more time, as he had all plans to end it soon.
Perth Scorchers won this match by 7 wickets against Melbourne Stars. Perth Scorchers chase down the target 102 runs in loss of 3 wickets in 13.5 overs. Melbourne Stars poor performance in batting they scored onlu 101 runs a very low target in T20 cricket. The bowling performance of Perth Scorchers is outstanding in this match Jason Behrendorff amazing bowling spell picked 3 Crusial wickets by giving 28 runs in 4 overs. The player of the match is Hamish McKenzie for his outstanding bowling performance picked 2 important wicktes by giving 12 runs in 4 overs.
Melbourne Stars team is not performing very well this season they lost today's match worse than the first match. The batsmen seemed to stand on the pitch just waiting to give wickets. All wickets fell within just 101 runs. However, the fall of the last wicket was a bit late by which crossed the 100 run. What we expect in T20 matches is more boundaries and scores. A match is never entertaining if the runs are not get high. A competitive match attracts all the attention to that match. Today's match is completely one sided. Perth Scorchers is defiantly a good team and if any team given target of 170 runs against the team they cannot expect to win.

Melbourne Stars have played two matches so far. And in both of them, they have actually lost in a pretty devastating way. Both of the matches have actually been pretty convincing wins for their opponent. But obviously, this is just the start of the season. And I think as the competition progresses, they are going to improve their performance. But they will have to improve their performance very quickly. Otherwise the point difference is going to be a lot. And in the end, it might actually be too hard to climb

Even though PSV and Arsenal are certain to qualify for the round of 16, the match between PSV and Arsenal was exciting. And in this match, in my opinion, both teams have the same performance and squad, the current score in the first half, Arsenal has scored 1 goal against PSV.
Even though Arsenal had a slight lead in possession of the ball, PSV also fired 13 shots, and 3 of them were shots on goal. Meanwhile, Arsenal only fired 5 shots and 1 shot managed to score a goal, the goal was scored by Nketiah in the 42nd minute.
The match in the first half was quite tough, and in my opinion PSV had a chance to score a goal in the second half and Arsenal had to strengthen their defense and also take advantage of counter-attack moments to add goals.

The match has now entered the 70th minute with the score PSV 1 - 1 Arsenal, PSV managed to catch up with their score in the second half which was scored by Yorbe Vertessen, actually PSV still has a chance of failing to progress to the next round, but with 1 goal they have currently making their position safer with a difference of 1 point from Lens. FYI, Based on statistics, PSV has a bigger chance of winning in this match, of course it won't mean anything to them, but at least it will make their supporters happy and build their mentality for the next round.

Arsenal are not playing seriously in this match. At least that's what I think from their performance. In past matches we have seen more organized gameplay from Arsenal players. However, in this match, Arsenal are giving more priority to keeping their defense strong than attacking. However, both teams played well in the second half. But the match will probably be a draw. Both teams' defenses were very strong in the second half. `
I am looking forward to watching Manchester United vs Bayern Munich match. Expect this match to be very competitive. I really expect Munich to win this match.

India had a bit of batting disaster at the beginning of the batting but later India batted very well especially Suraiya Kumar and Rinku Singh showed some amazing performances. I think 180 in 19.3 overs is enough for India. If India's two openers could have scored some runs then India could have scored 200+ runs. Due to the rain, the Indian team was forced to end the innings with three balls in hand. After the rain stopped, the South African team is now batting in the second innings. South African batting looks strong. The South African team has so far collected 139 runs by losing 4 wickets after playing 12.4 overs. Looking at the batting of the South African team, it seems that it is very important to strengthen the bowling line of the bowlers of the Indian team. If India loses today's match against South Africa. So I would say this defeat will be due to the weakness of Indian bowlers
The wicket was very batting friendly so India should have scored 200 plus runs on this wicket. If India could have scored 220 to 230 runs in the first innings, the target would have been higher for South Africa under the DLS rules, which would have allowed the Indian bowlers to bowl better. I will not blame the Indian batsmen in this match as they did very well towards the end. India should have bowled well in the rain-ruled target for South Africa. South African batsmen could not have ensured a five-wicket victory with 7 balls in hand if they could have bowled controlled from the beginning. Batting in the second innings on such a wicket, the equation to win is easy given South Africa the advantage.

If India could score more than 200 they had a chance of winning. It was easy  for South Africa to collect 152 runs in 15 overs  on this pitch. South Africa also batted very well in the power play. South Africa collected 38 runs in  the first 2  overs. Indian bowlers performance  was very poor today. I could not be satisfied with the performance of any bowler in the squad. If the bowlers did well, the South African team would not have been able to win this match so easily. The South African team reached the target of victory in 13.5 overs.

Today Cagliari vs Sassuolo team match was amazing. I was very worried which team will win today's game. Whenever I looked at the points table I saw that both teams are at the same position in the points table. Sassuolo is at the 15th position. Cagliari is at the 16th position. For this  It was very difficult to predict which team will win the game. Sassuolo did not play well despite leading the points table. Sassuolo team scored 1 goal in today's match. If Sassuolo team could have scored 1 more goal they could have drawn the match but they didn't.
Unfortunately, these two teams are in the bottom position, so for me, the match was not very interesting. Cagiliari caught up with a goal in the final minute because Sassuolo was fooled and felt they had already won, so the defense weakened and finally gave Cagiliari the opportunity to score a goal. Sassuolo should have still won if their defense didn't weaken, and they don't feel happy yet because the match is still going on and isn't over yet.

Cagilari needed a win in this match to get out of the relegation zone. Although Sassuolo are out of the relegation  zone, they are not in the safe zone. If their performance is this poor, Sassuolo are likely to go into the relegation zone. On the other hand  failing to win this match would have kept Cagilari in 19th place in the points table. However  Sassuolo  was very unlucky in this match.  Cagillari, on the other hand, was very lucky. I say this because Cagilari's players scored both goals in this match after 90 minutes in extra time. Lapadula's goal in the 90+4th minute tied the game. And Pavoletti's goal in the 90th+9th minute gave Cagilari a 2-1 win in the match.

@SATWAT should ICC end test cricket so other formats can prosper maybe I’m tempted to say yes but Test cricket also has it’s moments but the current generation doesn’t want to spend time watching it so maybe ICC will scrap it and we’ll have to accept the reality. @Sithara007 I can’t find fault with what Bangladesh is doing because unlike the big 4 they actually need the revenue to survive hence I’m sympathetic with them.

LOL.. test cricket is not going to "end" anytime soon. On the other hand, it is prioritized by the ICC and that is the reason why test nations get 50x the funding that others get. Well Juggy777, I agree with you that BCB is short on funds. But at the same time, available funds are not being used fairly. And their annual fund allocation is not that small. Next year, they are supposed to receive $26.74 million from the ICC. This is more than enough to revamp their domestic structure, but the BCB doesn't seems to have any interest in doing it.

I honestly think that it is time for cricket to let go of test cricket. And this is one format that absolutely nobody watches. Everybody just watches the result of the test match and the highlights at max. No one actually watches the whole test match for 5 days. I am pretty sure that nobody actually watches a test match for even a single day. It is just not the best investment by the ICC. I personally think this quick should not be a format in this day and age.

BCB has a lot of problems going on. I think it is one of the most corrupt cricket boards in the whole world. And that's why improvements are not happening.

that's how it should be. As a coach who has led the team for a full season, Ten Hag should build strong relationships with his players. Such experience will give him an edge in understanding team dynamics and designing tactical approaches accordingly. and with the addition of new players this season who can strengthen the squad and meet the team's needs, Ten Hag should now be at a stage where coaching and developing certain aspects of the team's game and relationships is key to its success.
However, what happened to his discipline during training and bringing in the players he wanted, MU's performance never improved, I'm sure your problem lies with Ten Hag himself.
But I think it is definitely too late for building relationships with that team. The thing is if a coach wasn't able to build good relationships with his players that he has been coaching for almost 1.5 years, how would that change for the better in the next few months then? Ten Hag is not the type of coach who understands very well how to build relationships and give everyone a group feeling or group identity. He has been constantly separating the players either from the team, or players from some specific other players by supporting one player while attacking the other player, for instance both from the same position.

Coach Ten Hag's relationship with the players is  not good. And we have heard  several times in the media that Ten Hag acts like a dictator. However, it is easy to see that Ten Hag's relationship with the players is not good. And  he has been the coach of Manchester United for a long time, so far he has not been able to build  a good relationship  with the players. It is unlikely that he will be able to improve this relationship in the future. It's time to fire the Ten Hag. Manchester United  management should look for a new coach. Ten Hag should no longer be trusted by Manchester United management.
