Manchester United - Sevilla can be a great matchup honestly. But I just have doubts about Sevilla that they can play really poorly this time.
Because they are having a terrible season now. They didn't even deserve to reach this stage in the Europa League in my opinion. Despite their bad performance against Fenerbahce they still made it here. But Manchester United should be able to counter them easily by this high effort. They really want this title as it seems. Therefore I expect this to be extra motivation to finish off Sevilla just as they did to another Spanish team, Betis.
Manchester United were lucky because the drawing brought them together with Sevilla, Sevilla inconsistent condition this season has made Manchester United not too worried about the opponents they will face. Manchester United have returned to their best form since Ten Hag took over as coach, while Sevilla have struggled in La Liga due to inconsistent performances. I see that this game will be one-sided because the conditions of the two teams are not balanced, even though Sevilla condition is unstable, Manchester United must not underestimate Sevilla. @Velvet78 I’m pretty sure that Manchester United player’s will beat Sevilla, because if they could defeat Barcelona who were sitting on the top in their league then I’m sure that they can defeat any other cub that comes their way. Furthermore another key reason to win the Europa League is the tight race for the 3rd and 4th spot in the premier league, and thus winning the Europa League is important because it guarantees them champions league football for next season. |

In the Fulham loss the player I pitty most was Williams. The 34yrs old played the football with all his strength and might. He was practically seen running from post to post and he got some few important shots on target but David De Gea saved them.
Although his red card was deserving but Mitrovic acted so unprofessional and that was why he was booked.
Checking the severity of the offence of pushing ref, you don't dare a referee that gave a red card and still holding the red card in his hands.
The FA will take significant action against Aleksandar Mitrovic, the striker of Fulham. He would be subject to a protracted match suspension after acting violently towards Kavanagh Chris during the match against United at Old Trafford. However, Mitrovic was upset because Willian who happens to be a crucial player in the game and also a big threat to manchester united, received a straight red card for preventing Jadon Sancho's shot from crossing the goal line, and that his coach, Marco Silva, received the same punishment for protesting to the red card. Manchester United turned the game around with complete dominance, as the scoreboard read 3-1 in favor of the red devils after Kavanagh Chris sent off three cottagers in less than 30 seconds. However it was quite embarrassing and humiliating to watch Fulham been punished by the red devil's because they were outnumbered. @borovichok the FA has formally charged him and the head coach, which can only mean one think i.e. both will be given a lengthy ban which will probably be announced in coming days. Lastly I feel that the FA will be justified in issuing a long ban, because player’s and coaches cannot be allowed to get away after misbehaving with the referee as it could set an wrong example. |

I don't think that Real Madrid's result yesterday will have huge impact on their champions league tie against Chelsea.
Real Madrid winning mentality is second to no other team that's still in the competition and they are a very solid side with the current best player in the world in their side.
Chelsea in the other hand has a high quality set of of players who can beat anyone on their day. I'm a Chelsea fan and would want them to win the tie but that doesn't change the fact that Real Madrid are favorite to win the tie
Actually, I think this match is quite difficult to predict, both of them have the opportunity to qualify considering head to head record both of them are quite equal. Although in the premier league Chelsea is not very good this season but in the Champions League it is different, Chelsea will be more focused here rather than in premier league and they are will defend very well in the first leg, also there is a possibility they will win although Real Madrid are the favourites. On paper, Real Madrid and Chelsea have the same chance to qualify for the semifinals. In the Local League, Chelsea performance was not too good, Real Madrid also experienced the same condition in La Liga, 12 points behind the leaders of the standings is not a good achievement for Real Madrid, who are the defending champions. All possibilities can still happen over the two legs, preparations need to be made by both teams before this match starts. Defense is the focus of the two coaches because in the last game they both conceded two goals. The head to head of the two is very even, this season Real Madrid is in the favorite team, I will bet on Real Madrid win. @Doell Chelsea are starting to shape up well, but there’s a long while to go before they can beat a gain like Real Madrid. Furthermore after the loss at Barcelona’s hand Real Madrid will be hurting bad, and they’ll make sure to make a statement against Chelsea by winning the game in style hence I expect them to comprehensively beat Chelsea and progress to the next round. |

Arsenal already closed the game today in the 43rd minute and therefore scored the 2-0 just before the break. Then the game was basically over. Arsenal winning Crystal palace was expected but I didn't think we all believe the scoreline would be this disgraceful. Crystal palace aren't bottom of the table and they should be putting up a fight to Arsenal even though Arsenal has been very good this season. The game should be ending with nothing less than a one goal lead if arsenal should be winning them. the best player in the game with him netting twice. I didn't also understand why Crystal Palace lost woefully. Recently in English Premier League any club that sacks their coach will be expecting a win or draw in the next match after which they sacked their coach. I don't know why the case of Viara and Crystal Palace is different that they had to lose so woefully. Does this suggest that is wasn't the coach issues? How on earth do you even watch, view and make analysis of the Premier League football games ? Crystal Palace has been so disorganized even if they've had Viera ( Arsenal Legend as head coach ) this also is a London Derby, they just got Viera out so I don't expect same strategy. This exactly they should have done much longer but they hesitated. Arsenal are currently superior in the premier league, the only club to stand and face them properly is Pep Guardiola and Manchester City. Who has been so consistent for years now. I got the result I expected in the Arsenal vs Crystal Palace match. Crystal Palace was unlikely to do well against Arsenal in the form they were in. Because Crystal Palace could not win in the last 13 matches. Before this match, they have lost all their last three matches. I don't think that the Crystal Palace team can play well against Arsenal in such conditions. Arsenal managed to continue their streak. And throughout the match, we saw Arsenal's dominance. As in the previous matches, Arsenal players played very well, and they scored four goals. Arsenal wants to win the Premier League title. And they are proceeding according to this plan. Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Among these two teams, Arsenal team is in the 1st position. Arsenal team has won 5 out of the last 5 matches. Crystal Palace team is very weak. They have not seen a win in their last 5 matches. In the last 5 matches, Crystal Palace have drawn 1 match and lost the remaining 4 matches. Arsenal vs Crystal Palace in the match of these two teams, Arsenal won the match by scoring 4 goals. In this match, the performance of Crystal Palace team players was not good. @Iranus I was expecting Crystal Palace player’s to fight and put in a strong performance, but the way they surrendered this match shows just devoid of confidence they’re and any coach planning to take up the job will now think twice. Furthermore even if they hadn’t sacked their head coach I doubt that we would have seen any different result, and now the player’s really need to introspect as to why they’re playing so bad before it’s too late for them (relegation). |

Haaland is truly a robot, he has scored 9 goals in 3 consecutive matches for Manchester City in three different competitions, English Primier League[1], Champions League[5], FA Cup[3].
He is really a monster robot this season, and he scored few goals for his national team of Norway  I was thinking coach will rest him in FA Cup for more important matches in EPL and Champions League, but no he played more than one hour before being replaced by substitute. In FA Cup final we could easily see Manchester City vs Man United, unless something sensational happens or they play in semi finals. @notblox1 even I was surprised to see that Haaland was playing yesterday, and despite constantly playing it seems to me that he has no intentions of slowing down and now team’s should start to fear him more then they used to do before. Also a Manchester finale would be the perfect ending for this tournament, but despite Haaland goal scoring theatrics I would yet pick my favourite club Manchester United to beat City because I believe that Ten Hag would come up with a tactical plan to restrain Haaland and beat City. |

Just speaking the truth... Ferrari approached again with Charles Leclerc being a thousandths slower, but we know very well, because it's no secret to anyone that Ferrari drive much better on Saturdays than on Sundays  Anyway, apart from the truth above, if you can say something about this classification is that nothing went as expected because I had Max Verstapen being the big favorite in the grid definition... but what I saw is that the leader of the championship, despite of even letting rivals get close, ended up being the victim of a problem that can affect any driver. Lucky for Sergio Pérez... will he be able to take advantage of this pole position? @alegotardo indeed what happened with Verstappen was totally shocking, but in a way this incident makes this race very exciting to watch because if he can yet end up winning it then he’ll do it in style. However Alonso and Leclerc will be also be keen to make sure that he doesn’t win it and they definitely do have the advantage, thus I’m eagerly waiting for this race to begin and dying to know who’ll end up winning it. |

It’s really attractive especially to whale players that spends 1000$ per bets on the casino. They can earn huge amount from rakeback despite their game is on break even. An hour of 70% rakeback is massive which other casino doesn’t offer even with their high tier VIP.
Blackjack.fun offers this deluxe benefits for everyone no string attached on the rakeback. I believe rakeback doesn’t have wager requirements that makes it so good.
I would guess that this would be a short lived one here as well. They are probably doing marketing now that makes them lose money in the end, but they would gain a lot of whale people and when they drop that to a realistic level that will cause them to lose some of the whales but also retain a few of them at least and that would be great for them. I am not saying that they will change it for sure, but if they keep this up then it is going to bleed them dry and they will realize this eventually. Gamblers may lose money but they sometimes earn money too, and paying them this much just for gambling will cause the casino lose a lot in the end. They are not losing huge amount since they are just returning part of their profit on the house edge. They still have profit whenever players lose their bets which has a high chance of happening because they are eager to bet more to get rakeback as much as possible. This is a very smart marketing by setting a limited time on the special rakeback because gambler will focus on earning rakeback that will lead to careless bet. Casino is already calculated this before they introduced the 70% rakeback. @Wapfika you have explained it correctly, but for long term I hope they’ll adjust it to a sustainable level because I have seen in the past where casino give out a lot and then it hurts their finances because in this industry maintaining finances is often difficult when trying to grow big. Furthermore I believe that I would fall in those compulsive gambler categories who would constantly bet for higher rakeback, so their strategy is sound but the % is yet very high and it should definitely be lowered in the long run. |

Your time at Majestic 7 has finally come.
This is the week, lol.
-
ampera
That's exactly how I feel every week... Until the matches start and I get slightly disappointed. Not sure why I get disappointed as I def know hitting the 10k is a long shot or why I'm even hopeful in the first place.  Anyway here are my picks for this weekend's Majestic 7. It's just all the usual suspects. Nothing creative. Isak Bamford Watkins Toney Kane Havertz Martinelli Hit it one tiiime! I promise to be good if I do!  @tokeweed looks like your prayers were heard, as Isak scored goals to help Newcastle win and keep their hopes of finishing in the top 4 alive. Also I too feel that Kane and Havertz will score, but for the rest I don’t follow them all so can’t comment much on them but with the start you have maybe this is finally going to be the week where you win the big price . |

Regarding Arsenal, it’s never great to lose any game but they have much bigger fish to fry than the Europa League. They have one job now and it’s to win the PL. I don’t think this EL loss will negatively imoact their PL title charge.
Big advantage for Arsenal is they can focus only on Premier League now and they have room for small mistake since they have five points advantage from Manchester City. Man City needs to think about FA Cup and Champions League and rest more players for match against Bayern Munich. My bet is on Arsenal to win EPL title, but everything is possible in next eleven rounds, and two top teams will play against each other in April. @notblox1 totally agree with you Arsenal definitely have the advantage, and now they just need to play confidently and they can go on to win the premier league title. Lastly the only scenario I see Arsenal dropping points is if their key player’s get injured (let’s hope they don’t get injured), otherwise there’s no excuse for them now not to win the league title. |

Sri Lanka performed credibly during the last match. And this time also, they have put up a decent performance. After the good knock from Devon Conway, Kane Williamson and Henry Nicholls are now trying to steady the ship. IMO, New Zealand should get to somewhere around 400, to be in a comfortable position. And their bowling remains very weak. During the first test, two of the bowlers failed completely (Blair Tickner and Neil Wagner) and therefore a lot of the burden fell on the shoulders of Tim Southee and Matt Henry. This time also, Blair Tickner is included in the squad.
@Sithara007 this match could probably end up being a draw, because the first day was really short and if the weather conditions don’t improve then it’ll be really difficult to complete this match. Furthermore if the match resumes then I feel that Srilankan spinners will have the advantage, and we could see New Zealand crumble under 250 - 300 runs which could give hope to the Srilanka player’s that they can win this match. |

In the first semi final its Medvedev v Tiafoe, I think Medvedev will prevail and go to
the final and if so who of the 4 remaining competitors in the 2 remaining quarter finals
could beat him in the final? Alcaraz?
Medvedev is playing really great tennis at the moment. He will certainly win against Tiafoe. I do not see anyone who could beat him in the final at the moment. Alcaraz is not ready yet. Medvedev comes into the final with a lot of confidence. He has already won 3 tournaments this year and will probably win this one as well. The only thing that can stop Medvedev is that he is really tired. He already said that the court is awful and too slow and that it is causing problems for him. But Tiafoe might cause problems for Medvedev. But if Medvedev plays against Alcaraz he will win easily thats my opinion Medvedev winning three tournaments could've boosted his confidence, but the opponents will try to take advantage over the injury. Medvedev will make it to the finals. Now the match between Alcaraz and Auger Aliassime have got importance as both are in high competence, though the odds are in favour of Alcaraz. Alcaraz reaching the finals and the match between Medvedev and Alcaraz won't be that easy for both. Alcaraz winning the Argentina Open gives the confidence and in the previous encounter against Auger Aliassime he have lost the match in direct sets. @n0ne Medvedev is in phenomenal form and even if he’s tired I yet expect him to win and reach the finals, and the only scenario I see him losing is if he’s playing with an hidden injury which makes it difficult for him to play. Also in the finals I see him winning it, because he truly deserves to win this tournament after putting in such phenomenal performances. |

Arsenal don't have a tough game ahead in the league. Their next opponent is Crystal Palace and it is a home game as well. Arsenal have been on a really good form for so many weeks and they are getting close to the league title day by day. The gap of five points against Manchester City is a huge advantage for them on this road. They just need to take advantage of this situation until the end of the season.
This isn't one of the games that they can lose points in. Crystal Palace are out-of-form these days as they haven't won a game for many weeks. They can't be any threat here.
After losing out from the Europa league tonight,Arsenal should make sure that they take all their matches serious by winning the matches so that they will be able to win this trophy this season as its been awhile since they won it. I see that crystal palace is not strong enough to play Arsenal and this becomes an advantage for the gunners to win the match easily and get their three point this weekend. EPL is the only league that is widely open for Arsenal to win and if they miss this opportunity, then they have messed up their season. Crystal Palace shouldn't be looked down on,since they also need a win in other to motivate their fans. It's really painful for Arsenal, of course, because they lost in the penalty shootout to Sporting in the European League, but to be honest, I was really amazed by Sporting's performance. because they have been eliminated from the European league, Arsenal must focus on matches in the EPL only, their next opponent is Crystal Palace, surely Arsenal can win this match. @Sirait I don’t think that we all should underestimate Palace, because they too would be eager to defeat Arsenal and earn those 3 valuable points hence Arsenal can’t take them lightly. Also I was sure that Arsenal would be eliminated, because only then can they fully focus on winning the premier league and now that they’re officially eliminated it’s their title to lose. |

Karim Benzema is now 35 years old. And maintaining fitness at this age is very difficult. Benzema is often facing injuries. Real Madrid management should have found a suitable replacement for Benzema. But in the last few seasons, Madrid has not been able to find a replacement for Benzema. And so now Real Madrid's performance is deteriorating if Benzema is not with the squad due to injury. And Real Madrid management is definitely responsible for this. However, with players like Vini and Rodry gaining experience, Madrid's overall performance will be stronger. But it is time-consuming.
Age is very important for a professional footballer. Every senior footballer understands the effect of age on the game of football. Karim Benzema is currently 35 years old and has been doing great for Real Madrid. And if he is not in a match due to injury, Benzema's void in that match is felt by every player of Real Madrid. Considering the age of Karim Benzema, Real Madrid offered Mbappe to come to Real Madrid but Mbappe turned down Real Madrid after receiving the facilities and a much bigger offer from PSG. However, if Mbappe joins Real Madrid, then Real Madrid's attacking position will be one of the best and then the team management will not have to think so much about Karim Benzema injury. The figure of Mbappe can indeed replace Benzema. but it seems that at that time (two years ago) Mbappe was not really interested in Real Madrid. but recently there has been news that Mbappe wants to leave PSG. and will probably look for another club in the summer. I don't know if this news is valid or not. but maybe this could be another opportunity for Real Madrid to sign Mbappe. but when it comes to Benzema. To be honest, I admire the figure of this player. at a relatively old age, he is no longer young, but he still shows extraordinary sharpness on the front lines. However, the age factor does make Benzema vulnerable to injury. so that Benzema often suffered quite severe injuries. I even felt sad when last year Benzema couldn't take part in the World Cup due to injury. @Ahli38 there’s rumours that Benzema has agreed to a new deal, and if this is true then I feel that Madrid won’t get Mbappe because they clearly want to continue relying on Benzema only. Lastly in my personal opinion Madrid should invest big and find a replacement for Benzema, and let that player then train with Benzema for one season before being their main striker. |

Competing with bayern to win bundesliga trophy this season must become the main concern of dortmund.
I see that the opportunity for Dortmund to take over the top of the standings is very small, one of the opportunities they have is when they will play against Bayern Munich but even this is Dortmund's chance to get a point even if only one is very small, maybe Bayern had experienced difficulties but now they have returned to appear consistently to continue to secure positions and win titles for this season, it looks like this season Dortmund can be quite satisfied being runners up, even though there are still about 10 matches remaining but I see that there will be no change in the standings. Against Koln this week Dortmund will be convincing enough to win this match which is why the bookies give a big difference in odds for the two teams. @Strongkored the difference between these two sides is only two points, hence Dortmund can yet consider themselves in the title race. Also since Dortmund have been eliminated from the champions league they’ll be able to focus more on winning the Bundesliga, thus I feel that we should not rule them out so soon unless they lose a couple of matches. |

If Napoli can win the Champions League this season, of course it is an extraordinary achievement. Combining the Scudetto Trophy and the big ear trophy is the dream of all the big teams in Serie A. Moreover, they are in significant performance in these two competitions, so I think Napoli's chances of becoming UCL champions are still very open and I hope they can advance to the final round.
If they could win the champions league, It would definitely be an extraordinary feat and would be well deserved. They’ve played well this season. Their performance in the Serie A is amazing as they’re comfortably ahead than Inter Milan who’s coming in second place in the Serie A league table. Their chances of winning and becoming the champions league is very much open. With a performance like the one displayed in the just concluded game against Frankfurt, their chances are looking good. This season the Napoli team's performance has appeared very consistently when competing in all competitions so that it makes them one of the teams that the opposing team must watch out for both in the Serie A League and in the Champions League, seeing the good results they get from every match in the Champions League, you could say the team Napoli is currently one of the strongest candidates in the race for the title, after successfully beating Frankfurt now Napoli will certainly follow two other teams from Italy, namely Inter Milan and AC Milan, who will advance to the quarter-finals and if the positive trend for the Napoli team continues there is a possibility that there will be took them to the Champions League final. @Iroh I don’t expect Napoli to win the champions league, because there’re teams like Bayern, Real Madrid who’re in a better position to win the champions league due to their past experiences of winning the champions league. Furthermore then there’s City too who on its day can score lots of goals, hence I feel that if Napoli ends up playing any of these 3 team’s then they’ll definitely be knocked out by them. |

I have seen that so many times since january and did you know what thing that makes me confused about de jong? laporta itself who denied about de jong will be selling by barcelona. So, which thing is true right now? Barcelona president Joan Laporta has said Frenkie de Jong is not for sale following months of speculation regarding his long-term future at the Camp Nou. Laporta said on Thursday: “About De Jong, I admit there were clubs interested in buying him last summer, but he was not for sale and he won’t be.
“De Jong is a very appealing footballer, we know that, but I insist he’s not for sale. No matter what can be discussed in internal meetings, there’s a club opinion above everything. And from the club point of view, De Jong is not for sale.” https://theathletic.com/4061140/2023/01/05/frenkie-de-jong-barcelona-future/It seems that if it was not true if barcelona intends to sell de jong to another team. Barcelona is having big debt but if it will be raphinha or ansu fati and i will believe those players gonna be sold by barcelona. @Distraction I don’t think De Jong is coming, and I hope that Manchester United do not end up chasing him again because he simply doesn’t wishes to come and there’re many better player’s available who would happily come and play for Manchester United. Furthermore if Laporta sells Fati then he won’t be forgiven by Barcelona fans, as many of them believe that he’s the next Messi and thus selling him would be a big mistake in my personal opinion. |

I really surprised by psg elimination from the champions league, this team have many good players and i expected that they will get the qualification from Allianz arena but their preformence was very catastrophic, i saw the whole match and i think if they play against Bayern with the same preformence for 1000 match they can't win or even get a draw
PSG's style of play is actually quite good overall, it's just that the PSG players on several lines don't seem to be well coordinated so that PSG only looks strong on the front lines. Meanwhile, the other lines still looked weak and this was proven when PSG met opponents who were not bad this season, such as Bayern Munich. So PSG needs to improve some of the weak lines in order to be able to compete again next season in the Champions League because in Ligue1 PSG is strong enough. To be honest, I wasn't surprised by their failure in the Champions League, because I saw that they weren't really ready to compete at a higher level like the Champions League. It may be true that they have a very promising squad filled with lots of star players, but that's no guarantee they will be successful in the competition. I admit they are a strong team, but they have to improve themselves again to be able to compete in a competition where many strong teams take part. @Alanaz the price for this elimination will be paid by their head coach who’s bound to be sacked once this season ends, and on top of it I’m hearing rumours that they’ll be selling/letting go of their few player’s and thus I believe that Messi could probably depart. Furthermore I won’t be surprised if Neymar is also sold, because it’s clear that he’s not enjoying life at PSG and it’s best for all the parties involved that he’s sold. |

no one cares about this league and cups of arabia, the focus is on soccer in europe, and that's sad but it's the truth, all players dream of playing in europe, being in the european champions league where the best of the best are playing
~~~~
Dude, I believe that you are still stuck in the 20th century. Arabian leagues are some of the most popular in the world now. Saudi Professional League is now watched across the globe and the signing of Ronaldo by Al Nassr has further increased the popularity of the league. And in the next few years, the situation will change further. Saudi Arabian monarchy has big plans related to sports events and they are trying really hard to win the hosting rights for the 2030 FIFA World Cup. And Ronaldo is just the tip of the iceberg. Don't be surprised if you see star players such as Kylian Mbappé and Neymar representing the SPL sides within the next few years. @sithara007 truly you don't understand football, as of today Arabia league is only of the most talking about in the world. It has advanced beyond what you think. Their tv rights world over are increasing rapidly and players are considering playing their than Europe. I believe in the next transf window it will shock you to see how many big players they will sign into the league. Ronaldo effect had turned Arabia league to world class. LOL.. you got it wrong. I was saying that the Saudi Professional League is now very popular across the globe. It was Slow death who tried to downplay the Arabian leagues. I still would not go to the extent to say that Saudi Professional League is the most popular football league in the world. But they do rank among the top-10 leagues. And it is not just the presence of Ronaldo. A number of quality overseas players are participating in this league and there are rumors that some of the big names in Europe and South America are considering moving to the SPL. @Sithara007 while it’s definitely not the number one league, but due to the mere presence of Ronaldo it’s buzzing in the same wavelength as the premier league. Furthermore when more star player’s decide to join in the summer transfer window I feel that it’s popularity might become equal to or even more than the Premier League, and thus I won’t be surprised if many young player’s down the year’s prioritise joining it first over other leagues. |

The Nepal team's performance has improved tremendously. Nepal team has several world-class batsmen. And because of their performance, the Nepal team is able to consistently perform well. However, Nepal still lacks enough experienced players in its squad. I think if the Nepali team is able to maintain such consistency in performance, then the players in the squad will become experienced and confident. And later the team will be able to play well against big teams. In the last match against PNG, he scored 100 runs in just 7.4 overs to win the match. They won the 50 over match in just 7.4 overs. The team showed excellent batting. Aasif Sheikh scored 53 runs off just 21 balls
ICC guys are not going to be happy if both of their blue-eyed boys (United Arab Emirates and United States of America) finish behind Nepal. If Nepal receives a fraction of the funds that are being spent on these two countries, then they would be able to perform at the same level as Ireland and Zimbabwe (if they are not already up to that level). Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) did the mistake by omitting their best player (Sandeep Lamichhane) from the squad for many months. He is the backbone of the team and now they are performing exceptionally well since he is back. Cricket is a great sport. But the problem is the ICC is a failed sports body. They have basically failed to keep any stability in cricket. I will say that it could be better if ICC didn't listen to anyone and just tried to maintain justice. I of course believe that if India does not agree to play in Pakistan, Pakistan also has every right to not go to India. And why is the ICC going to stop transferring funds to PCB when the BCCI is not going to face any problems like that?
As I already explained. Asia Cup and World Cup are organized by two different entities. ICC can't intervene if India (BCCI) refuses to travel to Pakistan for the Asia Cup. Because it is being organized by the ACC, and not by the ICC. But in case Pakistan refuses to participate in the ODI World Cup, then the ICC will initiate punitive actions against them. @Sithara007 Nepal cricket has slowly and steadily been rising upwards, and to be honest I was wrong to think that they would not perform well in the long run. Lastly Pakistan will have to travel to India, because their citizens won’t be happy about their country skipping the World Cup hence I strongly feel that in the end they’ll comply and play in India. |

Erling Haaland will receive tight guard from the RB Leipzig defense, because they will realize how dangerous this young Manchester City player is. But if Pep Guardiola is good at taking advantage of the situation, then an empty space will be created that other Manchester City players can use to penetrate the Leipzig defense focused on Erling Haaland. Attacking is an option for Manchester City to win, but they have to be wary of counterattacks from RB Leipzig, they have to be careful with players who have speed, because they can create deadly counterattacks.
I think that Erling Haaland will be very closely defended by Josko Gvardiol and this could be a matchup where even Erling Haaland could have severe problems to ever get in good chances to score. Gvardiol is definitely one of the best central defenders of the world at the moment even though he is only 21 years old. That is also the reason why probably every big club has him on their list to sign, even though Gvardiols market value is already at 75 Million € at the moment. If Leipzig is able to defend Haaland and of course the other ManCity attackers well, then everything is possible. The defense of ManCity is not the most stable one and a goal for Leipzig should be possible. In fact this is not really the case. In fact, in this case, I think that Leipzig's original intention was to mark Haaland strictly, but guarding against him was very small because even though he was central, there were several troublesome movements of other players that made Manchester City very dominating. The score is quite striking and quite different from the previous Leg which is proof that Manchester City did not take the first leg too seriously. Quite a lot of goals and Haaland managed to score a quitrcik which is rare for players to score this in big competitions. This is truly an insane achievement for a 22 year old player. @Jody.Drummer even if the entire team was marking him then too it would have been impossible to stop him yesterday, because he was on a mission i.e. to score as many goals as possible. Also now all eyes turn to Liverpool’s match and I don’t really expect them to stun Real Madrid, but then this is champions league football and upsets tend to happen so let’s see if Liverpool can cause an shock upset or not. |
