In my view, I guess if Galtier wants to do something, he first needs to make sure that he instills that "it is not over until the whistle is blown" type of mindset. If he can do that, PSG could win so many more games. They get that shock and start to lose games and start to not play the way they normally play.

I want to say, if PSG wants a good performance then Christophe Galtier must be allowed to work independently. His freedom cannot be interfered with. Christophe Galtier may not be experienced for a platform like the Champions League. But he has given proof of his ability in the past. With a team like Lille, he won the Ligue 1 title. If he can work independently, we will get better performance from PSG.

Bayern have to fill his place because of Lewandowski's willingness to leave. Ronaldo can still play ball at that level. I don't see it as a situation against Bayern's structure. What I would criticize is: Bayern Munich is a simple team in the champions league. And if they lose the star in their hand, they can't show any success. Winning the German league is no longer an achievement for Munich. Their goal should be the champions league. If they call themselves the big team.
Actually Robert Lewandowski still have talented and enough for Bayern Munich next season, but he has try to leave Bayern before his contract ended next year, how ever make Bayern need to find new central forward replace with position leaving by Lewandowski. But Cristiano Ronaldo not as criteria for Bayern Munich depending have been on 37 years old, better looking for with young player and have chance to play with Bayern Munich about 4 until 5 years later. Not any special achievement if success with Bundesliga or domestic league only because Bayern Munich try how get top level and achievement on Champion League after failed last year.

If Bayern Munich's only goal is to win the Champions League next season, they will want to have Ronaldo in the squad. And if they have long-term plans, they will definitely look for a young player to replace Lewandowski. However, if Lewandowski leaves Bayern Munich this season, the Munich management may offer to sign Ronaldo.

Wow big transfer from Ajax. They havent brought any new players this season but now they start with a banger. Who knew that Ajax was gonna open such large bag for Begewijn. Shocked that this transfer fee was large he didnt even play much in Tottenham last season
This is a big surprise, what else are Lisandro Martinez and Antony also interested in following the ex-coach to MU and adding cash 100 Pound to ajax if happens it's not a big problem even buying Begewijn. And as I know, Ajax has big cash also from Sebastien Haller which goes to Borussia Dortmund. they save a little cash, by buying a player which is not so potential then and polishing it like Haller.

Losing key players in the Ajax team together will inevitably lead to a decline in their performance next season. Ajax is not a weak team and their match strategy is excellent. But Ajax's main opponent at Eredivise is PSV and not a weak team. If the Ajax team becomes a bit weak, PSV will take the opportunity quite well and try to win the title. So Ajax should not let all the important players leave the team together.

Kohli is just 33 and still having few years in his game but with current form too much talk about his future which is surely right because now it's almost two years we have no three figures from this great cricketer if we can check his career figures these are still showing some great hopes, but fans are losing their patience and want something quick results about his future.

Kohli has been in poor form for the last few years, but his performance is not improving. He is even performing poorly in all formats. Although he was able to play well in T20 or Test format, the fans relied on him. But he has failed miserably in the international series as well as in the IPL. In this situation, he should rest voluntarily. And practice hard. Otherwise I don't see any possibility of improving his performance

As mentioned above - Sri lanka lost all the matches when they toured Pakistan and now again they are losing against India.
Sri Lanka is going through political and economic turmoil - winning matches can bring to the nation a joy which are longing. Hope Sri Lanka will strike back soon. 
There is no doubt win is enjoyable in any condition and with current situation in Sri Lanka they are surely looking for some better news which already happen against Australia in men ODI series they completely outclass then and win series with the score of 3 - 2, but now things are completely different in women's matches because India is quality team in Women section, and they have few very exciting players those are experienced and very strong in skills and quality, so it's not easy for home team Sri Lanka win against them.
In last match India outclass them with 10 wickets which was one off worst results now forget about this lost and try to win against them in next match more important for them.

I have to say it was a bad performance by Sri Lanka. India won the match really easily. It was not even a competition for India. And I think this match shows how much improvement has been done in Indian women’s cricket. This should also give an indication data W IPL is possible right now. And through the WIPL a lot of Indian women cricketers are going to come forward. It will be also interesting to see how Indian women have developed their cricketing skills. And is it actually any better than what it was before.

Even though Palmeiras did played very well against Athletico-PR but they still lost the match at their home stadium, I think it would be very difficult for Palmeiras to hold on to the top spot on the table as it is always a difficult task for a team to keep up the good form for the rest of the season. I guess sooner or later Atletico-MG should be able to overtake Palmeiras on the table.

Believe it or not, Palmeiras actually played better In that match against Atletico PR. They actually tried so hard to salvage something from that match but they could not. Even after that penalty goal, I thought they had a chance to come back in that match but they could not. And the red card was the cherry on top for Atletico PR. I also believe it is going to be really hard for Palmeiras to hold onto the first spot on the table. Things are not looking good for them right now.

Red Bull Bragantino will play Botafogo today... Bookmakers favour Red Bull with odds of 1.65 and Botafogo 5.7... Of course the visitors have not scored a single goal in 4 of their last 5 away matches, but both teams have the same number of points in the standings... I think Red Bull will win, but Botafogo can score today...

I don’t think it is going to be a crazy match and the scores are probably not going to be close either. But I think both teams are going to score as you mentioned. Red Bull seems to be doing well in recent times. Well at least compared to Botafogo. Not a very good run from Botafogo to be honest. Red Bull has also lost in previous matches but they at least scored. So scoring is not going to be a problem for them in this match I guess.

It's really a big surprise that a great soccer nation like Italy doesn't participate in the World Cup twice in a row.
In the meantime, between those two world championships, they were also European champions and showed that they are a great team, so the surprise is even bigger.
In the qualification group for the world championship, they were second, behind Switzerland, and in the additional qualifications they lost to Macedonia.
I watched that game against Macedonia and Italy was a much better team but they couldn't score a goal. Macedonia scored a goal from practically the only real opportunity, in the last minute of the game, and beat Italy.
I would say Italy was just unlucky.

For me actually, it is not a very big surprise because Italy has not been doing well recently and I am not going to say that there did not deserve to play in the world cup but they have also not been playing like a team that deserves to play in the world cup. And I also agree that they have been really unlucky in some cases. But whatever you say they cannot just concede a goal at that time of the match against Macedonia.

Everyone is tired, but as I already wrote, the problem is not in Bavaria. If Dortmund performed well in European competition (on a par with Bayern), then one could be upset about Bayern's hegemony in the domestic championship, but Dortmund is bad there and there. It is obvious that Dortmund must progress in this situation and not Bayern degrade in order for us to see a quality competitive league.
Dortmund problem is not only the players, the most error comes from the management, my reason behind this, is because they don't know how to maintain player. it's truth cause the club look's more of a business club to me, they only train players to sell, they can't maintain there players and that's the more reason they can't compete with bayern. the team management need to work on the way they sell their players, cause for the past ten years now, Dortmund has produce so many best players but they don't keep them, they only sell them for a high amount of money and that's the reason why they can't win the title, if they really want to win the title they need to decrease their rate of selling players.

I don't think it is about Dortmund not knowing how to manage the players. It is about them not even being interested to manage the players and always trying to sell them if their find any profit in that. That is not the way to go in my opinion it is going to be better for  Dortmund as a club if they actually concentrate on winning something instead of being a production place for great players.

Whether he himself wants to stay at this club is the question. There are rumours that he could also move to Roma in Italy, also a good club and he could try his hand there. Besides, I think this option is better than Chelsea and Manchester United. The league is familiar to him, he will adapt quickly. But reaching the Champions League final with a team like this is unlikely
Roma is a good club but are they in CL? No so that's same like United. Those are just fake rumours and nothing else. At this point, it is not clear whether he will move or not. Ronaldo wants to move but his salary will pull lot out of the next club so I don't think Roma can handle that also. Besides I think he is gonna move to a club where a club is missing a striker and right now I think Chelsea is missing with Lukaku's departure so I feel likely that he will move to Chelsea if he is gonna move. But I still think he will eventually stay. Lot can change around things if United wants to and it all depends on United to give something convincing in front of Ronaldo to believe in United they are serious about their goals in next season.

I heard that he is willing to leave the club if he gets a good enough offer. I think after this statement is going to get a lot of offers from various clubs. and honestly, I don't think Roma is going to be a better team for Cristiano Ronaldo compared to Chelsea or Manchester United. but I think Chelsea is going to be a better choice if he does not want to play in Manchester United but still wants to play in the English Premier League.

Napoli seem like another team that have started to be interested in Cristiano Ronaldo. For now it seems like he is eager to join a team that are competing in the Champions League next season. Napoli might be able to take advantage of this situation. Juventus have also been rumoured for some time but I don't think he would like to return there. Because he was wishing to leave Juventus to join one of the Manchester teams in the first place.

Cristiano Ronaldo has stated that he is willing to leave Manchester United if the offer is right. and right now Manchester United is also searching for players to replace Cristiano Ronaldo and they are also going to make a bid for Serge Gnabry. so, if Napoleon can make a really good offer for Cristiano Ronaldo I think then have a chance, otherwise not.

Neymar made a smart condition in his contract with PSG and honestly, I don't know why PSG was dumb like this.
from what i read the contract was automatically renewed and looking at neymar's age and poor performance and injuries is allied to the fact that he misses training and i also heard that he does not have a good attitude in terms of education in the changing rooms which can cause other players also become rebels so keeping neymar is not a good choice, he can't play at least 60% of the games every season, PSG is just spending money to pay neymar salary

I agree with you. PSG is only wasting money by giving wages to Neymar. Neymar's wages are much higher. But PSG should take one more risk. Since Messi will be at PSG until next season, PSG management should give Neymar another season and a chance to play with Messi. My guess is that if Messi, Neymar, and Mbapee play well and don't get injured, the PSG team will be unstoppable. At the same time, they need an experienced coach badly.

Chelsea will end up not signing both Neymar and Ronaldo. The case of Neymar is extreme as his salary will be high for Chelsea and there is no guarantee that he will give Chelsea what they need. Then Ronaldo going to a rival club is what I don't understand. I will be happy if he can come to Chelsea, but I have never imaged Ronaldo is Chelsea shirt....lolx it's not gonna fit him at all. But in football anything is possible. Let us watch how the drama is playing out and I know it will get more interesting.
For Neymar maybe not but maybe it could be for Ronaldo especially in this case Ronaldo's agent is reportedly in talks with Boehly at this time even though this is still just a rumor but it is quite clear that there is special interest there.
The problem is whether Ronaldo is ready to be branded a traitor later, especially in this case Ronaldo is so applauded by Manchester United fans and I think there will be some fires that make it hot if he does go to Chelsea.

I want to say, Ronaldo plays for himself, not for the team. He dreamed of winning the Champions League for Juventus fans before moving to Juventus. But he couldn’t do that, before joining the United team, United fans thought he would change the overall condition of the team. But he failed again. So it is foolish to think that he can win the title only if he joins Chelsea.

So what's your suggestion? Buy Mbappe and Haaland?  Grin You cannot have two Ronaldos in attack or two Buffons as goalkeepers. If circumstances develop in a negative way, then Vinicius will play a clean striker. In the future, Real will look for a replacement for Benzema, but now there is no urgent need for this.
At 34 years old, at least he is still quite capable of playing in the league for 2 more years. It doesn't look like it at the moment, but if Anceloti started from now on it would be good. He will have attacking options and time to adapt. Indeed, when Benzema was injured Madrid was a little weak because there was no pure striker. They have a hard time scoring goals. It happened this season too. If anceloti had the choice, maybe he could get it right away because that's an advantage even though he might have played less minutes.

Yes, you can buy Kylian Mbappé and Haaland bought in the same team if you were stupid. I meant that they need to start looking for someone right now and if Karim Benzema suffers any injury or something like that there is no problem and also no shortage of players who will be able to replace him. Right now it seems like there is no urgent need. But that can change with only a few injuries or bad form.

If salah extended his contract then it is the end of the talks about him leaving or being sold. Dude has been in LFC for a while now and won so many with them, and achieved so much both team and individual success, I do not think that it would have been smart on his side to leave. I still believe that LFC without him could be decent, of course worse, but not too much worse that it would suddenly make them a bad team.
Certainly he helps them get points, but I believe as a team they are good, and without him, they are still good. Haven't we seen enough games during the season when he was missing, they still played a pretty fair game and they won many of them as well.
This is the end of the mind game. Mohamed Salah has renewed his Liverpool contract through 2025. Both Liverpool and Mo Salah are delighted with the news. I'm happy he'll stay for another few years, until at least 2025! It is he who has helped Liverpool win so many trophies that he is the best player ever! We all know Liverpool is a decent English club with or without him, but we also know he can add value to the team. Klopp knows that keeping him in Liverpool longer will benefit the team's attack. As a Liverpool fan, I always want him to stay, so many congratulations.

This was a good decision by Mohamed Salah, and this is also great for Liverpool. I am really happy for Mohammed Salah that he is staying in Liverpool. finally, they could come to an understanding.

I think Mohamed Salah is going to perform well in the next season as well as he did in the last season. I also have to thank the authority of Liverpool that they finally understood the importance of Mohamed Salah in the team. I also have to agree that Liverpool does not seem to be a decent team without Mohamed Salah in the team.

In fact, Borussia Dortmund's vision is very good, they are successful in creating quality players. But how good their ability to create quality players is coupled with achievements, it will be something very extraordinary. It's just that until now I haven't seen that they will do that (achievement). It's a shame when their abilities are not put to good use.
Yes, I don’t understand this strategy either - it would seem that they can not only earn money, but also fight for titles and more earnings from Eurocups, that is, keep good players and earn money (Bavaria model). But they are satisfied with just making money and with a stunted performance in Europe and the inability to fight Bayern for the title.

I would say Dortmund should fight for the title. Almost every season we see them making star players. But they can't win the title. I would say Dortmund management should form a strong team and fight for the title. And the destruction of Bayern Munich's reign in the Bundesliga. I'm tired of watching Bayern Munich win titles every season.

The squad with Lewandoski won't be looking so sharp as it should be
With Lewandoski they can win the League but not the Champions League
Barcelona needs the introduction of Xavi to save them from goin below fourth position.
They will have a better season this time around.
You mean if Lewandowski was part of Barcelona, he wouldn't be like he was at Bayern Munich, in the sense that his form would drop? I'm not sure about this, but indeed Lewandowski will need to adapt if he does join. What you say may be true, because at Bayern Munich he has a good supply of balls, but I haven't seen it in Barcelona.
There is no guarantee that after arrival here in Barcelona Robert Lewandowski will perform as he has done in Bayern Munich because change of country and style surly have some impact on every player and this can happen to Robert Lewandowski as well.
Right now it's the biggest concern for Barcelona and relative player, but we have to wait for last decision from Bayern Munich management what they decide about this because they will check all their own concerns, and they will give green signal about this transfer right now nothing positive happening which is surely not good for player because this can bring some negative impact on his performance for next season if they are not allowing this transfer.

Bayern Munich is keen to keep Lewandowski in the squad. But Lewandowski doesn’t want to stay. In that case, I think if Bayern Munich finds a worthy replacement for Lewandowski this season, they will decide to sell Lewandowski this season if they can sign an experienced striker. And maybe we'll see Lewandowski in Barcelona. But if Bayern Munich can't find an alternative to Lewandowski, they may force Lewandowski to stay at Bayern Munich for another season.

If you are able to check few years back we have too many tours from A teams with U-23 as well because these were fruitful but due to recent much interest in franchise this all ends which having some problem for few countries but if ICC is going to have something for IPL then surely they need to bring this back and order big teams about this they regularly sent there A Teams for these associate countries tours which give them good experience for going to join big teams after few years.
Even now realistically this all is not possible because this all need some good funds and ICC is not going to help any country and few boards are not able to do this all by themselves, so we have to say bye bye this all and take big dip in this IPL.
If funding was the issue, then how the tours were being organized a decade ago, when the boards were not as rich as they are today? ICC, as well as the national boards have become more money minded and they are simply not interested in developing and grooming talent. Talented young players now face a lot more difficulty in showcasing their skills, especially in the longer formats (test, 4-day) of cricket. In T20, every now and then someone emerges as the new sensation, so that format is not a concern for me.

I think it is about the revenue. The bilateral cities are not generating as much revenue as they should be today compared to how it has been doing a while back. And I don’t think back then franchisee cricket was also as popular as it is now. And test cricket also had good importance in the international arena. I mean people actually took the test performance into consideration and judged a player by that statistics. Funding is not the problem, the change of era is the problem.

Benzema was in peak form last season. And I hope he will be able to carry on with the same form in the next season. I don’t know if Robert Lewandowski wants to prove anything like being better than Benzema but he certainly doesn't wanna stay in Bayern Munich.
Hopefully, I will also have high expectations for Benzema and also Real Madrid. Although it may not be easier for the next season because we know that Barcelona is now really struggling to improve their squad and also performance. The next season's matches will be more interesting and exciting than previously I think. Moreover if Lewandowski really comes to Barcelona, this will be more exciitng to see the comeptition right?

It will be really interesting if Robert Lewandowski comes to Barcelona but I really don’t think Barcelona should bring Robert Lewandowski in at the expense of 50 million. Because Robert Lewandowski is going to be good only for two or a maximum of three years. And that is not worth 50 million even if they win the league title twice in these years. But if Barcelona actually gets Robert Lewandowski in the team it will be really interesting to see which player does better, Benzema or Lewandowski.

Now I think that Inter are much stronger with the Lukaku transfer. Even if it is a loan deal I see it as good for them. Because I remember the season Conte's Inter had and won the Serie A title. In that season Lukaku and Martinez both showed incredible performances. They were a superb duo I mean. Therefore I'm expecting to see the same thing again. Maybe Lukaku didn't have a proper season with Chelsea but he seems contented with returning to Inter now. We can watch another great season for him.
Will Lukaku need time again adapt with Inter Milan under Simone Inzaghi? several match I saw Inter Milan adopt with 3-5-2 formation and looks the same under Antonio Conte and Lukaku success scoring goal for Inter Milan. I think if keep the same formation used by Inter Milan, Lukaku will be most danger central forward on Serie A. Have chance he can back as top scorer for Inter Milan next season and give back scudetto for his team after loss opportunity in this season taken by AC Milan. Next season will we see again Inter Milan duo between Lutaro Martinez and Lukaku but we need waiting how far both central forward have impact for Inter.

I think it obviously is going to take a little time for Lukaku to be able to get back into his form. Because he was not used very well in the Chelsea lineup. He also did not get enough play time that he wanted or needed. So it is going to take a little time in my opinion. But I don’t think he is going to face too many difficulties having a little different atmosphere in the team. I think it will be actually better for Inter because they will be able to score more goals from now on.
