The Bundesliga title will be harder to win. Winning against Bayern in 34 games is so much harder than winning a group against Qarabag, BK Häcken and Molde and then face harder opponents in a two-leg matchup. It may not be easier by a lot, but winning the Bundesliga is harder.
What is the chance that Sevilla wins the La Liga title? And what is the chance that the win the Europa League?
I think this is an example that shows quite well why these knockout competitions allow for more variance.

But a lot of things can happen until these games for the knockout round finally begin. For teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich it is incredibly important that the key players stay healthy. It would really change a lot for one of those teams if for example Harry Kane gets injured or Bellingham gets injured. I think Manchester City, due to having so many midfielders with offensive potential, would be most able to have a plan in case Haaland is injured. For Bayern Munich it would be tough and for Real Madrid Bellingham is also irreplaceable.

Forgot Kuldeep and Jadeja? These two were responsible for India's win when the last time they played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad (vs Pakistan). The pace trio of Mohammed Shami-Mohammed Siraj-Jasprit Bumrah is on fire, but let's not forget the fact that the Ahmedabad pitch is more favorable for the spinners. Now for Australia, they don't have a world class spinner. Zampa has been inconsistent so far, and apart from him they have some part-timers such as Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne and Glenn Maxwell. 

South Africa can’t qualify for the final due to their batting and fielding. They couldn’t take very easy catches so they should have loss as a punishment for not playing well and they had, but on the other hand, it is a very sad moment for South Africa because they did very hard work for the World Cup but they can’t make it real,
and South Africa don’t have any good thing because they lost in 2015 World Cup and the captain of that time was Ab de Villars who cried and this time it was Temba Bavumba cried in the stadium because of Semi final loss and not making his team to clear the semi final hurdle.

Their are lots of clubs that are performing well in Champions league right now, it is still early to tell which club will end up winning the champions league.  One thing I can see in the Champions League this season is that most of the big clubs are really doing well  which is making the league to be very interesting.  It is so impressive seeing Dortmund doing well in Champions league but it will be very nice if they can still maintain their good enery in the competition. The competition will be tough because it will be a fight between teams like Bayern Munich,  Manchester City and Real Madrid.

Imagine if Leverkusen can become a trilogy (win Bundesliga, Europa and DFB Pokal) this really a huge achievement for them since they haven't get any trophy since 1992. Do you think which is the easiest league from the three league I mentioned before? I choose Europa league because seeing Bayern Munich to lose looks impossible lol.

There are rumors that Napoli wants Conte but may not be able to get the services of the coach and ultimately return for Mazzarri who I don't think will be too difficult with the current Napoli squad.
Mazzarri can show his quality until his contract runs out. This is a short contract I think Napoli also has other coaches in mind for next season. If it's impossible for Mazzarri to perform well, he could get a longer contract, not just to finish this season.

Saudi Arabia, PIF and Saudi Professional League chose a right player to initiate their ambitious plan. He came to their league and unofficially convinced other star players in Europe to join Saudi Professional League. Just two seasons ago, it's hard to believe players like Benzema, Neymar, Brozovic, Mane, Laporte and more players who are not old yet, agree to move to Saudi Professional League.

This invitation and the participation of Al Nassr in Champions League, if actually happen, will be a big booster not only for Saudi Professional League but also for other leagues in Asia continent. The first is the hardest and if Saudi Professional League succeeds with it, other leagues can achieve same thing in future.

Cristiano Ronaldo just scored another goal for his national team and it's his 128th goal for Portugal, it is an all time record at international level.

After Alex Ferguson decided to retire as a coach in 2013, Manchester United tried to start a new era by looking for a new coach who could continue the success that Ferguson had achieved. However, until now it seems that there has not been a single coach who has been able to improve the quality of Manchester United like Ferguson did. Manchester United has replaced several coaches in the hope of being able to compete again in the Premier League. The last coach who was expected to make big changes to the Manchester United squad in fact failed to carry out his duties, Ten Hag was unable to make Manchester United a team capable of competing in the Premier League and Champions League.

Manchester United often inconsistent performance has made management start thinking about the next step in finding a successor to Ten Hag. Regarding Guardiola, it doesn't seem like he will destroy the beautiful atmosphere that has been built with Manchester City, he has become the most successful coach there and succeeded in giving Manchester City their first UCL trophy. There is not the slightest chance for Manchester United to bring in Guardiola, because so far he has been part of Manchester City success.

If a new coach has not yet been introduced at a club the assistant coaches or coaches from the U team usually take over. Following the dismissal of Urs Fischer at Union Berlin, the coach of the U19 team Marco Grote was initially introduced as the new head coach. That would not be worth reporting yet.
But now, for the first time, a woman has been appointed as a co-coach from a Bundesliga team. Marie-Louise Eta. She was co-coaching the U19 team.
So if no new coach is introduced before the next matchday, she will be the first woman in the Bundesliga on a regular matchday sitting on the coaching bench.

Australia won by 3 wickets against South Africa 215/7 in 2nd semi final, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins won the match for Australia at last. Now It's an India vs Australia-Final of world cup. South Africa lose yet another semi-final. Travis Head played a excellent knock for Australia 62 off 48 balls. There was fight from both South  Africa and Australia sides, match turning point when tabriz Shamsi took the big wicket of Maxwell but the runs on the board are very short 213 for South Africa to defend.

Freiburg's defensive system is a little bad, they conceded more goals compared to the productivity of the goals they created, so it is a little difficult for them to maintain their performance so far, but they are currently in 8th place, which means they still quite safe in their position. at least Freiburg must improve their defensive system so as not to concede so many goals.
Freiburg's Odds are quite convincing, but also a little doubtful, but if you look at it, it seems like Freiburg has the advantage of playing as the home team, so this can still be considered, like their last meeting, Freiburg could beat Darmstadt if they played at home, on the other hand Darmstadt could beat Freiburg when they played. home but these last 2 meetings are quite a long time ago so maybe now they are a little different and maybe many will favorite Freiburg in this match.

I don't know why Temba Bavuma has been given a place in the South Africa squad and captained. Bavuma played in 8 matches in this World Cup. And his highest score in 8 matches is 35 runs. And his total collection in 8 matches is 145 runs. And the average strike rate will probably be around 80. It would not be wrong to call Temba Bavuma the worst opener in this World Cup.

We saw Reeza Hendrick in two matches as Bavuma's replacement. Hendricks scored 85 runs in the first match and 12 runs in the second match. I think Hendricks is a better-quality player than Bavuma. Bavuma's bad start is why South Africa is in the bad shape they are today. South Africa collected 139/6 in 36 overs.

Meanwhile, in the past, when Lens was able to beat Arsenal, I think it was natural because Lens was playing at home while Arsenal was almost able to hold the match to a draw at that time and this time Arsenal will be the host and on the one hand, Arsenal is in very good condition and has There is a big ambition to get through to the next round while Lens is going through a slightly bad trend so this is Arsenal's opportunity to take revenge for past defeats.
Looking at the situation, the depth of performance of the Arsenal players at the moment seems to look better than last season, while Lens has had an inconsistent performance and this away match will definitely make it difficult for Lens to beat Arsenal and even being able to hold a draw is like luck.

Have you ever seen any team making runs at the rate of 1.12 runs per over in this world cup? Well if not, you can watch the South African team now and witness it with your own eyes. 

A very poor start by South Africa to this semi final and they 8-2 in 7 overs. This is one of the worst starts any team can think of in a match as big as semi finals. First, their unfit captain Temba Bavuma got out at Zero. Since the South African team went on the back foot and tried to defend every ball (no aggressive batting), that caused extra pressure on their inform batsman Quinton de Kock and he also lost his wicket.

Australia is looking in full control of the match and they are not giving any runs to the South African team.

Good news with Saudi Pro League teams Al Nassr.

According to Saudi Arabia journalist tweet on his twitter @alharbi_44, UEFA are interested to extend an invitation Al Nassr for participating in UEFA Champion League season 2024/25 being with Cristiano Ronaldo teams is most popular club. Its looks good news if this rumor true and UEFA are interested want to give one spot place for Al Nassr in Champion League competition. During this rumor publishing there are still not respond with UEFA European teams participants are agree or not with Al Nassr as team participant in Champion League next season, I don't think easily for Al Nassr participating in other region on competition exactly have too long located between Al Nassr home with European teams home.

Despite about this rumor not official confirmed yet by UEFA, its looks how famous of Saudi Pro League competition after invasion with many top European player and make several teams have been famous such as Al Nassr, Al Ahli and Al Ittihad.

Xabi did not have the opportunities that Tuchel had. We realized that Xabi's scouting staff, team coaches and technical knowledge are very good. It is not easy to create a squad that can compete with Bayern Munich. Xabi achieves the difficult. Leverkusen became a better team than Dortmund thanks to him.

Daryl Mitchell's fifth ODI hundred is putting New Zealand lead the game. However, the team needs similar performances from other batters, especially hoping for a good contribution from Phillips today. The current run rate is over 12 runs, and it's expected to increase as the match goes on. It seems like India is back in the game, and it's just a matter of time before they confirm their win. When it matters the most, Indian bowlers are delivering their best. While things are getting tough for New Zealand batters at every minutes, they fail to maintain the Net Run Rate (nrr).

Real Madrid is looking for a successor to Dani Carvajal, so the Merengues' interest in planning for the club to reinforce its right-back position is clear. In fact I read that they were offering 80 million euros to Liverpool for Trent Alexander-Arnold.... not that 10 million makes a difference, but I also don't believe that the player will leave Liverpool.

Quite the opposite... Trent Alexander-Arnold also reveals that he is very satisfied at Liverpool and revealed that he is shaping his game to adapt to his new hybrid role in the team since the end of last season in which he has been deployed in one position which combines right-back and midfield. Liverpool's formation has improved greatly since that adjustment, with Alexander-Arnold's ability to consistently dictate play from central areas a key factor.

Anyway... Liverpool need Trent Alexander-Arnold and won't sell him
