861  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 03, 2023, 12:33:30 PM


Manchester United's performance was so bad last night and they had to admit Newcastle's might at home with a score of 1-0. It can be seen that apart from being completely pressured by Newcastle, the Manchester United players seemed too lazy to win the ball and it gave the impression that they were not serious at all in this match. The comparison of attempts and shoots on target up to the 58th minute is also very different and Manchester United is like a promotional team in the EPL. Antony Gordon was the only goal scorer in this match and also brought Newcastle to 3 points at home.

On the other hand, all Manchester United players scored points below 7 and that is a very bad performance. I think Manchester United will always be able to celebrate a victory against a team that is quite weak and when they face a team that is quite strong or equal they can't do anything.

@rendravolt after seeing this performance I hope the new owner will sack Ten Hag right away and sell majority of the player’s and rebuild the squad because majority of the player’s including Rashford and Fernandes deserve to be sold asap. Lastly Ten Hag ego is driving the club into dark ages because he’s continuing playing his selected player’s and that’s not helpful at all hence I hope that we get a new coach asap now.
That is quite difficult to do considering that management seems to still believe in Erik ten Hag and maybe if Manchester United fails to finish in the top 4 this season then the dismissal can be carried out. Now let's think about it, why does Erik ten Hag prefer to have Luke Shaw as CB when there is Raphael Varane on the bench? isn't that a stupid decision? Moreover, if Luke Shaw is placed as a left fullback, it will make the ball flow smoother for attacks. Placing Diogo Dalot in the left fullback position is also quite chaotic and for CB he should be able to partner Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire, instead of Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire. Angry

I am quite annoyed with the choice of players he makes in big matches like this and it seems as if he doesn't trust his players to do their job properly. So it is very natural that in the end Raphael Varane will leave Manchester United considering Erik ten Hag's controversial decision and is reluctant to give him a chance.

I don't know why people expect so much from Manchester United. They are not a team that is performing well. And because of the consistency that was lacking from their performance, I did say that even though they were able to win three matches back to lack, they are not a team that should be trusted upon. A lot of people did not agree with me, but now see what is happening. The performance from Manchester United was really bad in this match. And I don't see them actually improving with the current coach that they have. Only if they realized this earlier, probably Cristiano Ronaldo still would be playing for Manchester United. I literally did not understand how you can blame the single person who is carrying your team. But anyway, I think it is time for them to get a new coach.

Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid

Regarding the higher standing teams Real Madrid and Girona success winning their match in this week give huge pressure for both teams Atletico  and Barcelona for winning most interested match tonight. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have remaining 7 points behind Madrid and Girona have collected 38 points and will make its have many difference if both teams can get three points or match will be draw.

Last night, Madrid most impressive performance and controlling games play for defeating Granada who play more offensive and not make any attempt yet, the same with Girona who play more early than Real Madrid and have more fantastic come back for winning 2-1 over Valencia and keep pressure Madrid on highest place in La Liga standings. Personally as Real Madrid expected match Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid better to be draw and not one team get three points for many difference points left between Madrid and Barcelona or Atletico.


Girona be getting me wowed, At a point I felt it was over only to see the comeback into the game to win the game. That's how a big team should play. Real Madrid won as everyone tipped but they have also done well regardless of the injured players they have. Carlo Ancellotti has been a good manager in between tje challenges that comes with Injuries, Champions League and La Liga.

Barcelona should try as much as possible to follow up else they'll miss out on the chase of the top. Atletico Madrid should win this game if Barcelona fails to concentrate. Good they have finally qualified for the Champions League knockouts.

I hope that Barcelona will be able to win the match against Atletico Madrid. Barcelona actually have to otherwise, it is going to be a big problem for them to stay at the top of the table. The competition in the La Liga, this season has increased a lot. So Barcelona cannot perform in a mediocre way and hope that they are going to defend the title successfully.

And at the same time, the other teams in the league are performing really well. Real Madrid, Girona, Atletico Madrid, all are performing well and currently pose a big threat to Barcelona. Barcelona will have to improve their performance regardless of the injury situation that they are in.

Napoli should go extra to prepare for this match because I don’t see any short of performance from Inter Milan in that upcoming match. Inter Milan drew their last two matches but they don’t look like who will succumb to Napoli in this match when they are aiming to maintain their first position on the table. In their last five meetings with each other, Inter Milan were able to two of the matches, also drew two of the matches and have lost only once to Napoli.

In the middle of this whole losses after Napoli had failed in 5 matches consecutively, and the maltreatment Osimhen is facing in the club , the president just mentioned that Osimhen is going no where and reconfirmed that he will be with the club until 2025. I don't think Osimhen is ready to stay that long in the club as it will not help his career at all at this time and he needs to switch over.

Clubs like Chelsea have shown interest in the Napoli forward to buy him in the next transfer window, although Chelsea is also not at its best right now but Osimhen have a whole lot to learn from the crop of players he will be meeting with in his team and the league as an entirety.

There's more to this and you don't have to say too much before we understand that Victor Oshime would be leaving Napoli at the end of the new season. You see, staying a year further will not be wise and good for him. The President has said his own word's to keep the storm at bay for now so as they can keep their heads down and get a good alot in the top four before the season ends.

Chelsea building a project with Pochetino, some games they lose, wian and draw all are part of the rebuilding for Chelsea amd I know well that Victor Oshime has that mentality to be there as the new striker to guide them. If all voting goes well, he should be the best African player of the year his records speaks for him.

Osimhen is definitely going to go to an English Premier League club if not Real Madrid.  I am pretty sure that if Real Madrid cannot get Mbappé, they are going to go for him. And I think at this point it is going to be a good idea to go for Osimhen to be honest. because what if Mbappé again does something stupid for money? I don't think it is entirely impossible.  it is also very true that Napoli has not been able to perform as they were expected to do.

Chelsea might actually profit a lot if the new player is Osimhen. I think he has the capability of performing really well in Chelsea. But I am still not sure if the current coach is right for Chelsea.

Following the recent 3-3 draw with Galatasaray in the Champions League 2023/24 group stage, the defensive issues at MU are becoming even more pressing. Statistics show that the "Red Devils" have conceded 14 goals in 5 European matches this season. This is indeed a problem that has been giving the Dutch coach, Erik Ten Hag, a headache for some time. To address the defensive issues, MU is actively working on bringing in Radu Dragusin, the 21-year-old Romanian center-back often dubbed the "new Nemanja Vidic."

Many reports suggest that MU is currently receiving very positive signals regarding this deal. Dragusin developed at Juventus and is currently playing for the Serie A side Genoa. Juventus loaned Dragusin to Genoa last season, and Genoa made the deal permanent this summer for Ł5 million. Dragusin has signed a contract with Genoa until 2027, with a release clause of Ł26 million. Despite Genoa's struggles this season, Dragusin has maintained an impressive performance. Statistics show that Dragusin averages 5 successful tackles and 3.3 ball recoveries per game for Genoa this season.

Even though he was still young but he was not that bad. His release clause probably the problem now. I meant his price is quite high consider genoa was only buying him for 5 millions but his release clause was 5 times more.
Ten hag needs to let one of its centre back to leave from the club. When you find a new player to be recruited but this player is always dubbed into the legend which didn't even make sense. What achievement has gotten by radu?
Vidic was vidic. People are always overproud by any players recruited by manchester united.

MU fans when the club recruited hojlund from atalanta be like "hojlund was the next haaland", "Hojlund was better than haaland". Meh,,,, that's a classic story. Try to let radu to be himself.

The fans are so crazy by always dubbing young talented player to the legend player. Im sure he will struggle when he was playing on EPL.

I really don't understand how people can say that a young player who has just joined the club is someone who will be the next legend player or the successor of another legend player when he hasn't even shown any kind of performance like that. I thought the legend tag was hard to get. But apparently, everyone can get it for free these days they just have to be a hyped player bought by Man Utd. There is no reason for the fans of Man Utd to hype up the new players like that. I think it is a coping mechanism for fans to make themselves think that Man Utd is actually better than they are. And we all can see how that is turning out to be.

The League 1 trophy has become PSG's daily food from season to season, no one has surpassed PSG in terms of domination of winning the League 1 title as much as this team. The owner of PSG is not satisfied if they haven't tasted the Champions League trophy and for me it's also not complete if PSG hasn't won the award. The biggest in Europe, indeed winning the Champions League trophy is not as easy as winning the trophy in the domestic league because the Champions League is full of big clubs who have greater strength than PSG.
I'm also surprisingly even though PSG already has enough experience playing in the Champions League and has played there many times, but for some reason this team always experiences bad luck in the semi-final and doesn't manage to win the trophy even though in the previous seasons PSG had quality star players.
So far, no other team in League 1 has been able to match PSG's strength because financially the PSG team is above the average of other teams, so it's only natural that they really dominate.
At the start of this season there seemed to be a little competition because the PSG team was inconsistent and after many changes their performance dropped a little so that the Nice and Monaco teams could compete on points, but not now because now the PSG team is performing much better, they just need to Just maintain consistency and I think this season is still the same as the previous season, there is no significant competition to prevent PSG from retaining the title.

But, when it comes about the Champions League trophy, at least you can also compare and or consider PSG with Bayern Munich. Because yes, the reality is that Bayern Munich has dominated the Bundesliga for more than a decade, but in fact, it is not always easy for Bayern Munich to get the Champions League trophy . So yes, considering that at least PSG is still in development, and it is clear that it will still not be easy for PSG to get the Champions League trophy. Therefore, I think as long as PSG can still dominate Ligue 1 well every season, I think that is good for PSG. Because yes, as time goes by, of course PSG will also get better for the results obtained in the Champions League in the future.

Yes okay,  I can understand why winning League 1 only is still important and can be considered a good result for PSG. But that is going to mean PSG is not improving.  I am sorry to say but winning the League One title only is not improving for PSG. They will have to show good performance in the Champions League competition to prove that they are actually improving. Or they could also face better competition in the league. But let's be honest, the competition is not suddenly going to improve in the Ligue 1.  So if they actually want to show improvement, they will have to perform well in the Champions League competition.

At this point sacking Ten Hag would be a very good decision from Manchester United. Ten Hag is not going to improve this team in anyway. He seems clueless and the players don't look like people that want to work for him.
The hierarchy at Manchester United are hesitant to make any managerial changes, and i think it boils down to the fact that they have hired and fired quite a lot of managers in recent years, and they prolly are tired of the trend, they would have hoped things turned out differently with Erik Ten Hag, but it is what it is and they might have to fire him sooner rather than later.

Having said that, who is going to be the replacement, and how sure are we that he is going to be successful, it is hard to place what exactly is the problem with the club, if it is the manager, the players or the hierarchy, i reckon it is all three of them, but in a football club, it is always the manager that gets the sack letter anyway.

I understand that they have hired and fired a lot of managers. But they have not brought in a really good one who can actually do the job. They need to bring in someone who is very well respected. Zinedine Zidane might be the better option. I think that is the only way they are actually going to get a good performance out of Manchester United right now. The current coach is not doing a good job for sure. Keeping him around for longer is not going to change that fact. The chances that Ten Hag got, he should have brought in far better results, compared to what he actually has done so far.

Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad were the opening batsmen of the Indian team and they performed well but the latter batsmen could not last long in front of the bowling of the Australian team. Rinku Singh in particular was relied upon for a half-century but failed to do so, getting dismissed for 46 off 29 balls. Having collected 174 runs for just 9 wickets, the Indian team was under a lot of pressure at the end of the wicket often due to which they could not score more runs. India's chances of victory today are very low, as India have given Australia a target of just 174 runs. If Australia can defend the wickets in terms of batting, then the chances of winning will definitely be high, as the match is completely under Australia's control as the run target is very low.

India vs Australia

Compared to the other matches, the target of this match from India has been pretty moderate. But at the same time, it looks like this pitch is not a betting-friendly pitch like the previous ones. So far India has given them a target of 175. Australia has scored 74 and lost three wickets so far. Only 9.3 over have been played so far. So things are not looking bad for Australia. They can keep wickets in hand, they are definitely going to win this match. But if India can get too quick wickets here, I think the match is going to turn heavily in favour of India.

Honestly, I am not sure about Mbappé anymore. Because we have seen what he can do for Money. he literally straight up, used the name of Real Madrid to get more money from PSG. And he also dilution that he might actually move to Real Madrid but in reality he was never going to Real Madrid. That's what people call snake behavior.

Of course, he can choose to be at the club that he wants to be in. But it could have been done in a better way and not like – "give me more money or else I am going to the other club which is offering me more money." When in reality, the other club was in an illusion that he was actually thinking about joining.

I don't think Mbappé is that greedy for money. He can use Real Madrid to extort cash from PSG. He could have more money from his loyalty to PSG. Or he could move to Saudi Arabia for the highest salary ever.
The problem here, in my opinion, is that PSG forced him to do so, otherwise, he would be punished. How did PSG treat him? They did not select him for the official squad and even deleted Mbappé's image. His fate at that time was like Jadon Sancho at MU right now. A player cannot let his career sink from the bench. Mbappé doesn't need to worry about the future. Many big clubs also covet him. If he could, he could also go to Barcelona. They would not be inferior to Real Madrid.

Yes, I know that PSG did not do things right with Mbappé.  But I will actually blame Mbappé for that. I think Mbappé wanted to get another season of money from PSG because they were offering him an unbelievable amount. And at the same time, he did not want to stay at PSG any longer.  That's why he did not say anything about him staying or leaving until the chance of PSG selling him was over. So of course PSG is going to be angry.  If he made his intentions clear, PSG, at least could have tried to sell him, and if PSG failed, they would have said that yes, they made a mistake and would have moved on.  I think just like he kept Real Madrid under the impression that he might actually accept the offer, he kept PSG under the impression that he would extend his contract.
869  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 01, 2023, 03:51:28 AM
In each of the past seasons we have seen only Bayern Munich dominate the Bundesliga. But this season and the last season the scenario is slightly different. Bayern Munich's performance in the previous season was poor, so we saw the likes of Dortmund and Union Berlin at the top of the points table. However, Bayern Munich's performance this season is very strong. They are undefeated so far. However, the top spot in the points table is occupied by Leverkusen. The performance of the Leverkusen team is surprising everyone this time. Because of Leverkusen, this year's Bundesliga has become more competitive and crowded. We don't just see Bayern Munich's dominance.

Well, isn't this what we want. if the Bundesliga offers a competition that is a little more exciting than before. So far, Dortmund has always been Bayern's strongest competitor. If only Dortmund were able to win matchday 34, Beyern Munich's dominance would be over. I mean, the title they have achieved so far can be broken. But in fact, last season's luck still belonged to Bayern Munich. Now there is a new team that is Bayern's competitor, namely Bayer Leverkusen, aren't we currently being presented with a slightly different show from the Bundesliga.

Last season, Leverkusen was ranked 6th. and in fact, Stuttgart must go through the playoffs first to return to competing in the Bundesliga. Now that they have entered week 12, Stuttgart remains in the top four of the standings. even Leipzig had to struggle to climb the rankings, and get rid of the teams that were in their rankings. Frankfurt, Freiburg, Union Berlin, now who knows where. I mean, some of these teams are struggling to perform like they did last season.
But make no mistake, Bayern Munich is now much stronger than last season. As for the results of their matches at the start of the season, and several draws, statistically this was solely due to Sven Ulreich's performance which was not very reliable, especially in crucial matches. So far, Bayern's probability of retaining the trophy is still quite high.
For me, it's only a matter of time for them to be at the top of the standings. well, unless Alonso is able to maintain his team's fitness and remain consistent until the end of the competition. So, they deserve to break the title ranking which is dominated by Bayern.

I think majority of the people are expecting Bayern Munich to be at the first position of the table again very soon. Because honestly, Xabi Alonso does not have the resources that Bayern Munich has. And if one or two players from his team get injured, it is going to be a problem for him to replace them. But Bayern Munich does not have that kind of problem. Well, I suppose Munich also has problems if Harry Kane gets injured. Better than that many players from Bayern Munich are replaceable. But Xabi does not have a squad like that.

But at the same time, majority of the people also want to see Xabi get his team to win the Bundesliga title.

It's not right to say that the generality of United's backsliding is to be blamed on Hag, it's not fair to do so as even if the man tries his best to set up the team and the players do not want to play right, they'd still blame him. Currently, the issue they face is as a result of general team's negligence to performance, they've gone below standard in all areas and admittingly, Hag too is a part of it. He's the head of the team and he has the responsibility to manage the team rightly.

 He should be in the best position to make proper decisions for the team. Check for the errors, brainstorm and profer variety of processes to getting the errors solved, be should task the players in confidence building too as they keep lacking it weekly.They failed woefully yesterday at their game against Galatasaray and it was believed they'd have the day but sadly they couldn't keep up with being ahead and they had to let out goals to their opponents, that's how poor they've become and they need to work on that act of winning and relaxing to be won afterwards.
Till this time Ten Hag doesn't make a significant impact on the team, it suggests that his performance isn't up to good for MU. Exactly, it's not solely Ten Hag's responsibility, as there are 11 players on the field and a significant support staff behind the club that also influence the team. However, it seems like Ten Hag's strategies is the main reason here and might not be the best fit for a club as prominent as MU. The current playing style of Man United is notably very very poor, and its progress is sloooow.

MU is eyeing Carlo Ancelotti to replace Ten Hag, but it appears Carlo has turned down the offer for several reasons, even though his contract with Real Madrid is set to end this season. With only a few top coaches available, Man United's options for a replacement are narrowing. This situation seems likely to extend Man United's period of bad performance into the next season unless there are significant changes in the near future.

Manchester United made a big mistake when they gave the coach so much power. But honestly, I probably cannot talk trash about the Manchester United authority as well because they had tried with a few other coaches before. But that did not turn out to be very good. he kicked out the greatest player that they had and probably the greatest player in the world. Even at such old age, Cristiano Ronaldo was carrying the team. And he came and kicked him out. After that, Manchester United did some remodeling of the squad and did find a few successful matches, but we all know what they are going through right now. The tactics that he was trying to implement were never going to work long-term.

Kylian Mbappe will not be staying another year with PSG. It'll be detrimental for the growth he wants.

Victor Oshime to Real Madrid? Joke! Victor Oshime would be the next number nine signed by Chelsea football club. ( Anticipate )

If Real Madrid actually offers a lot of money to Manchester City, I think the transfer can happen. But at the same time, it will be better for Real Madrid if they can get Mbappé. at the same time, Real Madrid will have to pay a lot of money to get Mbappé as well. Because PSG is not going to let him go for free, that is for sure. Because if he does not extend the contract on the last year, he will not be able to play for one year. We have already seen that happen. Real Madrid should not forget that Mbappé used their name to get more money out of PSG.

I don't think Mbappé will sign another contract with PSG. He saw his career sinking with the PSG shirt. Suppose he doesn't find a new destination to develop his career. I think junior players will surpass him as the best player currently. Haaland and Bellingham are the two hottest players on the market today. They can surpass Mbappé in the near future. Real Madrid also does not show any move that requires Mbappé and they are said to be willing to give up to recruit another true number 9. It could still be Haaland and Victor Oshime.

Mbappé's choice to go to the Premier League is also reasonable. Many clubs in the Premier League are hungry for Mbappé's signature. Having him is like a tiger growing wings because he is the best player in the world right now. What do you think about the theory that Man City recruits Mbappé? Is Man City strong enough to dominate European football? Just thinking about it makes me scared.

Honestly, I am not sure about Mbappé anymore. Because we have seen what he can do for Money. he literally straight up, used the name of Real Madrid to get more money from PSG. And he also dilution that he might actually move to Real Madrid but in reality he was never going to Real Madrid. That's what people call snake behavior.

Of course, he can choose to be at the club that he wants to be in. But it could have been done in a better way and not like – "give me more money or else I am going to the other club which is offering me more money." When in reality, the other club was in an illusion that he was actually thinking about joining.

Haaland probably stays in Man City because he still has a long time contract there. But Mbappe, his contract will expire next year, he is very possible to leave PSG or he won't have the chance to leave forever. He knows if PSG management will always make it difficult to leave PSG. So, Mbappe waits for the end of his contract to leave. And the destination for his next club, everyone must agree that it is Real Madrid. Real Madrid needs a player like Mbappe who has speed, high accuracy in scoring goals, and have good teamwork.

There are many options, If Haaland and Mbappe won't come, Real Madrid can negotiate to sign Osimhen. I think Osimhen has the intention to join Real Madrid, the problem is only about the agreement about his transfer fees.

Real Madrid are working towards achieving and seeing Endrick retuning to the club next year they, they lads in a good form and confidence. He's been reported scoring goals for his club over the brazil league. I doubt if Kylian Mbappe would be reconsidered after they came up to say they'll no longer be chasing the french intentional. Anyways, he has too many options to choose from a move to the Premier League will make sense, so we see some Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe rivalry.

Kylian Mbappe will not be staying another year with PSG. It'll be detrimental for the growth he wants.

Victor Oshime to Real Madrid? Joke! Victor Oshime would be the next number nine signed by Chelsea football club. ( Anticipate )

Newcastle as a rich club did not buy many great players earlier this season. Their current performance tends to decline. In the EPL and UCL they did not perform optimally.  They should have maximized the mid-season market. They can prepare from now on by observing the players. One of Newcastle's current problems is strikers. So there is news they are approaching the second Top Scorer of the Bundesliga at the moment. He is Serhou Guirassy of Stuttgar.
Newcastle United is playing entertaining football both in the Premier League and the Uefa Champions League, I don't see any need for Newcastle United to sign a new striker in the January transfer window because Wilson and Isak are scoring a lot of goals for Newcastle United combine. If Newcastle United is playing only in the Premier League they will have a better performance because Newcastle players will have enough rest.
For the English Premier League, their strikers can be said to be quite sharp, but not for the Champions League because their goal statistics are not special, even though up to now they still have a chance to qualify from the group phase, but with quite tough conditions.
And because Newcastle is a club that is quite rich, buying a new striker to strengthen the existing squad is not a problem as long as the striker can adapt well to the club so that when a player is injured the coach will not experience problems in rotating players because Newcastle doesn't just play in English Premier League but in some competitions that can cause player fatigue and injury and having a good squad will really help them stay consistent.

Newcastle United's change of ownership has seen an unprecedented improvement in  the club's performance in the shot put. Coach Eddie Howe did not make many changes to the squad. But the players in their squad have been very confident.  And Eddie Howe strengthened the understanding between the players. As a result, the  Newcastle United team  has been able to continue to perform  consistently well. If the team did not have  a busy schedule, did not perform in the Champions League,  then maybe this club would be in the  top 3/4 of the Premier League right now. However I think by the end of the season we could see Newcastle in the top 4 or 5  of the points table.

Girona is able to compete and be among the elite clubs at the top of the standings, this season is Girona's best achievement in their history in La Liga and if this season Girona manages to occupy the top 3 positions and get a Champions League ticket then Girona is a club that cannot be underestimate it at the moment.

This is going to be their best season in Girona club history. Girona has only played in La Liga for a few seasons. This team could not qualify for La Liga. But this season has surprised everyone and occupied the top spot in La Liga's points table for a long time. We see great performances from Girona players in every match. And if this performance continues, this team will be able to qualify for the Champions League very easily. Even the fight for the title will continue till the end of the season.

In the first Test against New Zealand, Bangladesh were bowled out for 310 runs in the first innings and when New Zealand returned to bat in the second innings, Bangladesh bowled New Zealand out for 317 runs. In other words, New Zealand ended the first innings with a lead of just seven runs. At the end of the first two innings, there was no chance to put the two teams much ahead or behind as the game between the two teams was almost evenly matched. In the second innings, Bangladesh again went into bat where Bangladesh collected six runs without a wicket in the second innings. Bangladesh scored 310 runs in the first innings, Bangladesh must score more runs in the second innings because New Zealand batsmen must perform better in the second innings than in the first innings.

New Zealand batted well enough. They managed to  take a lead of 7 runs. I thought the team would lose all wickets before 300. The team was able to collect 317 runs with the help of captain Tim Southee's 35 runs. Mominul Haque picked up three wickets for just 4 runs.
Since the pitch is completely bowling friendly, if  Bangladesh can score more than  300 in  the second innings, they have a chance to win. Because it is very difficult to bat in the second innings on this pitch. Bangladesh's  two openers are batting very carefully. Bangladesh collected 14 runs without losing any wicket in 7 overs. I expect at least 50 runs from the first wicket pair.

Athletic Bilbao didn't dominate possession of the ball in this match, but they were able to take advantage of the opportunities from the counter-attacks they carried out. It was recorded that of the 13 total shots they had, 6 of them were shots on goal, even though they did not have enough possession, that's a little confusing to me. I have to say that Girona was quite lucky in this match because Athletic Bilbao couldn't get 3 points at the end.
Athletic stood out more in the first half, with the clearest chances, although they wouldn't find the goal until the second half after persistent efforts. The Girona quickly reacted after the home team's goal; although Girona took time to generate clear opportunities, they gradually increased their pace and had better accuracy, with their only shot on goal in the second half resulting in a goal. I think the draw is fair for both teams. Girona, although losing the lead due to goal difference compared to Real Madrid, doesn't diminish their impressive season. They maintain a +4 point lead over Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

Is this the point when Girona is going to start to fall off? They had been performing really well so far. And they are definitely one of the best performers so far in this season. But now they have just given Real Madrid the edge that Real Madrid probably needed. At the same time, Atletico Madrid is playing really well. They are already ahead of Barcelona with having one match in hand. so now they have just increased the competition a lot for themselves. So now it is going to be interesting to see if they can still stay at the top of the competition.

Reportedly Al-Ettifaq is planning David De Gea's move to the Saudi league and of course they will have a great goalkeeper to start in the middle of the season. Previously there were rumors that David De Gea would not go to the Saudi league because his wife did not agree to the move and it was possible that David De Gea would be closer to joining Inter Miami in MLS. But things can still change and the player's decision will be the determining factor in this transfer. Even though it is still in the trying stage for Al-Ettfaq to bring in David De Gea, it is certain that the popularity of the Saudi league will increase even more with the arrival of European players.

On the stock exchange last summer, De Gea rejected the offer from Al-Nassr. But I don't know whether now he will also reject the offer from Al-ettifaq or not. Because after he was released from Manchester United, De Gea is still a free transfer until now. And it seems that there are no or not many European clubs interested in bringing in De Gea. Maybe he is no longer young because he is already 33 years old. But actually, in terms of performance, he is still good. De Gea's poor performance last season at Manchester United was because Man United's back line was also quite bad. So, Onana, who was brought in from Inter Milan, actually looked bad when he was Man United's goalkeeper. I personally hope De Gea goes to the SPL rather than MLS. But let's see what's next. And actually Al-ettifaq, who is now under the care of Steven Gerrard, is good enough to be De Gea's next goal. But I doubt he will accept it. In fact, if De Gea goes to the SPL, I'm sure he will find his popularity again here.

A lot of clubs indirectly expressed the feeling that they were not interested in De Gea. That is really sad in my opinion because I think he is a great goalkeeper and he still has good qualities. He can still give a lot to the team that he will go to.  But since the European clubs are not very interested in him,  I think the only option he has to be honest is to go to the Saudi League. He will get a huge amount of money for going there and he will also be able to play as the main goalkeeper of a club. I don't think he's going to get the luxury of being the first goalkeeper of a big European club anymore, to be honest.

op After you become an Indian you don't have to feel ashamed because of the social media posts of people from your country. Because 2023 World Cup India has performed exceptionally well. Maybe they could not become the world champions of 2023. But Rohit Sharma's team played very well. Especially Virat Kohli, he is one of my favorite players. Virat Kohli was in great form in World Cup 2023. He has occupied the top spot among batsmen in World Cup 2023. Honestly only I feel bad for Virat Kohli. Because this is his last World Cup but he could not become the 2023 World Cup champion. Maybe no one can take the place of Sachin Tendulkar. Undoubtedly, Tendulkar is a decent player. But if anyone has stayed in India after Tendulkar, it is undoubtedly Virat Kohli. King Kohli is a good quality player but there will be some anger. If I were you, I would certainly be very proud of Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar.

LOL... you are comparing Virat Kohli with Sachin Tendulkar. IMO, you can't do that. There is no apple to apple comparison, as Virat and Sachin played in different eras. Sachin had to face very tough bowlers such as McGrath, Warne, Muralitharan, Donald, Pollock, Walsh, Akram, Akhtar and Bond. Today's bowlers are more or less emasculated and this makes the scoring much easier. And the behavior off the field can't be compared as well. Sachin was a thorough gentleman, while Virat always behaves like a monkey when things doesn't go his way. 

I actually agree with you that the bowlers have definitely become emasculated compared to the generation that we saw growing up. But at the same time you also cannot deny that in this day and age, everything is easier for batsmen. There was a time when you could have many more players outside the 30-yard circle.  And the bowlers also had a good chance to try out a lot of things. But now they are bowling a really good short ball and that is disappearing for a six behind the wicket-keeper and the batsmen didn't even time the ball.

But anyway, it is definitely not the right thing to compare Virat Kohli with Sachin Tendulkar. And the reason anyone should not feel bad watching the social media post is because social media is full of degenerates.

@Leviathan. 007 Brazil should be careful not to repeat the mistakes of Italy otherwise in coming year’s they’ll be absent from the World Cup and personally I never got over the news of Italy missing out hence can’t see a World Cup without Brazil ever. Furthermore the gap exists because Brazil player’s play in important leagues and if other countries want to close the gap they need to try and get their player’s to play in big leagues to gain much needed exposure.

There is only a remote chance that Brazil will miss qualification. Because from this time onwards CONMEBOL is being allotted a total of 6.5 spots in the world cup. So out of 10 teams participating in the qualifiers, 6 will get direct qualification based on their standing in points table, while the 7th ranked team need to take part in Inter-confederation play-offs. At this point, Brazil is at 6th position. And I am sure that they will improve their position once the tournament restarts by September 2024. But there is no room for complacency. All of the participating teams are very strong in CONMEBOL.

I think Brazil is capable of performing better compared to what they have been doing. I also think that so far they have been facing pretty decent opponents as well. No, I do not think Brazil is going to miss the World Cup. But you never know. Something crazy might happen. People also did not expect Italy to miss the World Cup. But they did. I am not saying that Brazil is going to miss the World Cup. But there is definitely a chance for back to happen. Even though the chance is very small. And I absolutely agree with you that there is no chance for complacency.

Bangladesh had a good start to the first day of the first Test series against New Zealand vs Bangladesh today. Mahmudul Hasan and Shanto formed a good partnership, watching their game at one point it seemed that Bangladesh-New Zealand could give a big target. Bangladesh is in a rush for wickets. He is playing a test game, but the way Nazmul Hossain Shanto batted, it seems that he is playing T20. If he had batted with a little patience, maybe Nazmul Hasan would have seen a peaceful century. At the same time, the score of Bangladesh would have been a little bigger. The Bangladesh team was under a lot of pressure after the tea break with the loss of a pair of 2 wickets. It was Mushfiqur Rahim's responsibility to release the team from pressure but Mushfiqur Rahim made the same mistake while picking up the ball and Mushfiqur Rahim got out.
Bangladesh all out on 310 in session 1 of 2nd day only mahmudul hassan played 86 runs. What a brilliant bowling by Glenn phillips takes 4 wickets. Jamieson and ijez patel takes 2, 2 wickets. New Zealand are on the way 35 without lose of any wicket. Nz batting line up very strong there top order batsman put up the pressure on BAN  today if they trail by 275 runs and lead some runs pressure will be on Bangladesh because BAN bowling line up is average not so good They need to takes wickets of their openers
In the first Test match of the Bangladesh vs New Zealand Test series, Bangladesh won the toss and batted for 310  Rune is all out. The batsmen of Bangladesh could not perform well, except Mahmudul Hasan Joy, no other batsman could score fifty runs. Najmul Hossain Shanto's batting style was similar to ODI format, he should have batted patiently. I expected a good performance from Bangladesh at home, but Bangladesh could not give a lead of enough runs. Against a strong New Zealand team, Bangladesh would have done well to score 400+ runs. But Bangladesh were all out for just 310 runs. New Zealand scored 62 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in 19 overs. Tom Latham was out for 21 runs, Devon Conway was out for 12 runs. New Zealand's first wicket fell in Taijul Islam's first over, Mehidy Hasan Miraz took 1 wicket. Let's see how many runs Bangladesh can bowl out New Zealand.

Bangladesh's batting order is weak as usual. They can't bat well in this match either. I expected big innings from Mushfiq and Mumunil. But Mominul scored 37 and Mushfiqur scored only 12 runs. However  if the bowlers are able to perform well now, the  match might be competitive. However, Bangladesh's defeat against New Zealand is  more likely. After  losing two wickets for 44 runs, now New  Zealand's collection is 78 runs. Williamson and Henry Nicholls batting responsibly. I think one of these two batsmen will score a century.
