Surprise to see Multan stadium is empty for limited overs cricket. I was expecting a packed house in the opening match and Pakistan is hosting only 4 games.

I get it, Nepal is a weaker opponent but Multan has one of the cricket hungry crowds in the subcontinent. Hope stands to get filled as the match progresses. At least there is some support for Nepal.

The way Nepal started the game, they did not look like a weaker side. Pakistan were 25 for 2 wickets down and Nepal had the upper hand in the match. If Pakistan had faced any other opponent but would have been in deep trouble by now but since Nepal is the weakest team in this Asia Cup, Pakistan recovered well and now are 82 for 2.

Yeah, maybe the crowd wanted to see the India / Pakistan games in their country and as a result, they are disappointed to know only four matches are being hosted by them.

Pakistan is in a tough position right now, already lost 4 wickets only for 128 runs. This is Nepal's first time appearing in the tournament, and they're showing some excellent bowling skills.

Even though Pakistan's batting hasn't been great, their captain, Babar Azam, is standing out and leading the team. Babar scored a half century in the first match of the Asia Cup. He's definitely looking turn it into a century and help his team make a decent total.

Liverpool just experienced an unbelievable victory over Newcastle in the 3rd round. Despite being led and playing few people, Liverpool were still determined to win 3 points. But look at the squad Liverpool needs to be better at now to compete with the big teams. So, they must try to bring in some quality rookies before the transfer market closes. Their defense still needs to be stronger.  Typically, in the last match, Trent Alexander-Arnold made mistakes. The void reappears. Therefore, Klopp needs more cover for the defensive midfielders and the flanks.

What a crazy game it was! The most important thing is they managed to grab three points, but to be honest the match wasn't easy to deal. So now, Liverpool really needs to roll up their players and make their team stronger. It could really help if they bring in some good players before the transfer window closes. Right now, their squad is one of the smallest in the Premier League. But we know that it's not just about having tons of players, it's about having the right ones. anyway, Klopp should definitely pay some extra attention to level up their defense.

Deadline rumors from Manchester United who are interested in signing Pierre-Emile Højbjerg. Actually I don't know for sure what made Manchester United want to bring in a midfielder again, but is it possible that Erik ten Hag is still not satisfied with his current midfield? or maybe because Mason Mount is currently injured so he needs a reserve midfielder to overcome this. Apart from that, actually Pierre-Emile Højbjerg was also quite good last season with Spurs and can be another alternative when Manchester United needs a creative midfielder. Is it possible that this transfer will be realized before the transfer market closes? we should look forward to.

Erik ten Hag is just wasting money while Manchester United's line up this season already has midfielders who are quite good like Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes, Antony, Donny van de Beek, etc., in my opinion, those names are very strong in helping power. attack Manchester United, at least Manchester United are more concerned with defending and improving in Manchester United's defense sector alone because of the lack of defensive players which makes Manchester United always a weak point and very easy to guess by the opposing team, Erik ten Hag should have thought a second time to bring in new quarterback.
This club is connected to every player, so yet Manchester United's transfer dealings aren't officially over yet. The club looks like confused, and the manager, Erik ten Hag, unsure about what he's doing now. I used to think he had a plan, and there are certain things he's probably considering. The club might have other choices, but looking extending their options. Anyway, if this turns out to be true, it would be quite a surprising move. He's really underrated and made a big impact on the game when he came on.

Seven goals from six players is impressive. It shows that Atletico Madrid has competent strikers and is not depending on any player.
It's impressive and shows that Atletico Madrid can have goals from many players. They don't rely on a single player to score goals but as a big club, they need to have an outstanding striker to win titles. In La Liga, they are still weaker than Barcelona and Real Madrid so even they won big against Vallecano, I don't feel positive about their chance to win La Liga.
exactly! Scoring 7 goals against a smaller club is a common things for Atlético Madrid. Atlético Madrid coach Simeone can't match Laliga's prime Barça and Madrid teams. His negative tactics are why he hasn't clinched titles. I'm not a fan of this mentality. It's too aggressive. A victory against Vallecano doesn't prove they can win the title with just average players.

In a few days, the Saudi league is going to be one of the best leagues in the world and everyone in the football world often has the same idea about this. It is really difficult to deny the way the Saudi league is showing players and coaches with the baskets of money. Many are already playing in Saudi clubs. Moreover, one after another, the world's best players are moving towards the Saudi league, along with the world-renowned coaches are also making their wish to go there.

In the meantime, we have learned that Roberto Mancini has announced that he will leave his job as Italy coach and go to Saudi Arabia. Although his decision seemed to be a rumor at first, the truth was no longer suppressed. In this way, if the players and coaches all rush to the Saudi League, why won't the Saudi League reached to the top?

I've heard that right after stepping down from the Italy job, Roberto Mancini has been appointed as the new coach of Saudi Arabia. It seems Saudi Arabia has a solid plan to improve its football. Football is a worldwide sport, not limited to Europe alone. Kudos to Saudi Arabia for this move. It would indeed be great if the other top 3 or 4 countries from each continent outside of Europe could take a similar approach.

It was a great joy for me to watch the Villarreal - Barcelona game today. There were insane comebacks which led Barcelona to win by an absurd score like 4-3. But I must really appreciate especially Villarreal's unbelievable comeback from 0-2 to 3-2. You are doing this against one of the biggest favourites of the title in the end.

Villarreal did everything they could but it was still not enough to resist Barcelona. Once again they couldn't beat Barcelona home. By scoring this many goals I think Barcelona will regain their usual performance faster. It was nice to see Lewandowski scoring his first goal too.

It's very attractive game. Villareal was strong enough in giving barcelona a hard game. Barcelona needs to dominate a half of field before the club was able making so many attacks against villareal.
Some mistakes being made by villareal. What a significant result from barcelona. Impressive performance from yamal. This 16 years old guy has been performing even better compared with raphinha.
It's a magic to see that 16 years old was able performing like a world class player. No raphinha but yes for yamal. Raphinha was not even better than yamal.
I didn't anticipate such a tough time against Villarreal. It was a real battle; what's up with their defense? Barcelona seriously needs to address their defensive issues. If they keep playing like this, we're not going to achieve much. That was a narrow win, but they can perform better than this. Barcelona should be aiming higher than what Barca done against Villarreal. And definitely, Yamal, Ferran, and Lopez did an outstanding job in those final minutes.

It's difficulty for Augsburg to get any points against Bayern at Allianz Arena. But if Uduokhai didn't make that mistake, maybe I think Augsburg can give a better fight at there. Actually, it was a mistake difficult to be avoided, the ball so quickly hit Uduokhai feet. Kane managed to score again in the second half, I wouldn't be surprised if he will be the number one top score because he is the best striker.
Augsburg has beat Bayern Munich 4 times in the past. But there were 19 wins for Bayern. In the stadium were 75,000, sold out. This time Bayern was much stronger, you can see it well in the statistics: 19 shots on goal, 10 corner kicks, 60% dominance. The owngoal in minute 32 was good, so the game finally started to get interesting. Kane continues where he play in the last game. To bad for Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, he was the best striker last season.

The first half started a bit slow, but the performance got better in the second half. Winning the match 3-1 was decent, but to be honest it would great if they had maintained a clean sheet. A decent performance against Augsburg, and Harry Kane scored with two goals. He's definitely going to smash in the league; he's already scored 3 goals in the first 2 league games.

Unimpressive win by City but who cares? Piling up points while continue building and improving that team chemistry is the best thing that could happen to them. That's definitely tough to watch for their fans but getting all three precious points is what matters at the end of the day.
City fully owned the game. Sheffield can do nothing against it. The chemistry of manchester city is quite good, but it lacks of good attacking midfielder who can replace de bruyne. I don't care so much about the chemistry as long as city was winning the game. The bettors need city to win. It doesn't matter how this club would be playing on. City is now making the gap to the arsenal. It seems to me if city is likely to dominate this season. There will be no club who can stop manchester city.
No bruyne and no problem. Rodrid performed better in the second half compared with the first half. The goal from sheffield makes me feel shocked but rodri helps city to get three points.
Absolutely, they control the matches and make a lot of opportunities, just like they always do. Sheffield United should have earned 1 point, but Man City won this match. They had a hard time breaking through Sheffield's defense, but the story would be different against Arsenal. City consistently play like champions and never let us down, that's the champion spirit. This season has been quite interesting. Almost all the top teams are fighting hard for wins or draws, while the weaker teams can't even claim a single point.

The untold things that happened after Spain won the final match against England really spoiled the beauty of the game. The beauty of football should be maintained on the field. The President of the Spanish Football Federation who kissed the female star has caused a lot of criticism and many are commenting badly on it. I myself did not like this at all, many people may say that they may have made such a mistake in the moment of excitement, but we must have our own control over our excitement, anger, and emotions. First, the president has done such a bad thing, and the coach of Spain has been accused of sexually harassing Spanish women players in various ways. If we want to protect the beauty of football, we must get out of such bad thoughts, only then will the beauty of football be maintained
I've been following this story. What i can say power can really lead to corruption. If he can't understand his mistake and the fact that he grabbed his crotch was just terrible and completely inappropriate, then he shouldn't have a place in football. His arrogant behavior shows that he might not respect boundaries, especially when it comes to women. It's truly unfortunate because the untold incidents have overshadowed their historic World Cup victory.

Other match, Milan still in the positive trend after winning against Torino, most impressive performance from Cristian Pulisic and Oliver Giroud unstoppable for scoring goals, Pulisic scored one goals and Giroud have contributed with two goals scoring although through penalty kick.

So far so good for Milan for now. This is another victory for them by a really satisfying score like 4-1. Giroud is still like a goal machine despite being 36 years old. This was his third goal in his second league game this season. Many people including me were doubtful about his performance this season but he is even better for now.

Being a world class player has also big benefits. Even when you are old you mostly keep your shape solid and continue to score many goals. This isn't valid for every such player now maybe but it is for most of them. Okafor was signed but he isn't in the starting lineup yet.
Milan won by 4-1, so there was plenty of goals and action. I'm pleased with the score for a home game. It would have been even better with more goals though. Olivier seems quite confident at this stage, and he might end up as the top scorer of the season. The experienced players are still performing well. Overall, I'm enjoying the performance of this squad, but they need to continue working hard. I also believe the new signings will show improvement and prove their worth when they start in the starting 11.

NY Red Bulls Vs Inter Miami

NY Red Bulls faced Inter Miami without Messi, Busquets, J Martinez at their own home ground but Inter Miami was leading 1-0 in the first half. So far, almost 30 minutes of the second half have been played without either team scoring. However, in the statistics of the game, NY Red Bulls play aggressive football but they remain goalless at their own home ground. However, it is not known why Messi and J Martinez were sitting on the bench in the first half today, but Lionel Messi entered the field in the 60th minute. J Martinez and Banquets both came on after 60 minutes and it remains to be seen if Inter Miami can score more goals in the end.

Inter Miami 2-0 New York Red Bull
In this match, Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets made their MLS debuts. Without their presence, they appeared very energetic, confident, and dominant. Even without Messi and Busquets on the field, the team seems positive. And positive thing was Inter Miami leading 1-0 from debutante Diego Gómez. It seems like everyone is contributing now, taking lesson from the best. And then, Lionel Messi strikes again! He scores in the 89th minute to confirm another victory for Miami!

Marseille is currently 1 goal ahead of Brest. they scored a quick goal early in the first half and kept it until the end of the first half. Brest also showed an improvement in their game compared to last season. Brest tried to increase the opportunity to catch up.

The other game today is PSG who will face Lens. PSG still struggled in its first 2 matches. I hope in this match they can perform better. against Toulouse, Enrique brought on Mbappe and managed to score even from the penalty spot. PSG still really need Mbappe and they don't have a replacement yet if Mbappe does leave next season.

I can say the gem between Lens and PSG was not hard for a team like PSG considering the money they spent and the players they have. However, the intestine thing about this game was Mbappe scoring two goals while they didn't want to not use this player until the end of this season to put him under pressure but Mbappe scored two goals and had a good performance during this game. 

Now we have a reson why PSG keeps him. PSG wouldn't have been able to win if Mbappe had been on the bench like they were determined not to use this player throughout the season. There have been various contract controversies, but there's no doubt about his skills and goal-scoring abilities.

Nottingham got off to a quick start, taking a 2-0 lead at Old Trafford in less than five minutes.

The midfield seems quite old and they're struggling to win back the ball through tackles. ManU turn out to be a mediocre team! This doesn't surprise me since United has played games like this before. Anyway the outcome will be determined in the next 90 minutes. Let's wait and see if Man United can recover from this.

HT ManU 1-2 Nottingham

Believe me or not jude bellingham will become the main key for real madrid to win la liga. I saw that how his role was very important. Bellingham has been also taking the main spot in the starting line up.
He was still very young but he has been showing the true potential of him. bellingham reminds me with zidane.

Bellingham may able to put his name as top scorer of la liga till the end of season. This guy is always playing so crazy. he was always helping madrid to leaves from the difficult situation once mu was not able scoring.
Vini may not play in upcoming match but he can still be replaced.
I agree with you, Bellingham was the key to Madrid's victory for 3 consecutive matches to record Bellingham's name as the best player at the moment. He seems reliable enough and could potentially be a proper substitute for Benzema. The failed penalty kick made Ancelotti angry because he wanted Modric to be the executor. Apart from the victory that only made 1 goal, Madrid still showed positive results at the start of this season and this must also be maintained.
On the other hand, Barcelona's start to the season hasn't gone perfectly, being held to a draw by Getafe is a big loss plus Raphinha red card, of course he will miss the next 3 matches which is very disappointing because after all Raphinha existence is quite vital as a striker.

Jude Bellingham remains the standout signing so far. Against Celta Vigo he once again demonstrated his clinical skills, confirming three points for Real Madrid. Jude's performance has been truly impressive, we hadn't seen before this side of this game before from him. I hope that he maintains this impressive form and becomes the highest-scoring midfielder in LaLiga this season. After Benzema, Jude definitely a big step up for Real Madrid.
It was a disappointing night for Barça against Getafe. The defending LaLiga champions started their new season with a draw. This same scenario happened last season as well, where their first game didn't go as planned. However, I remain hopeful that they will return with a strong performance soon.

Saudi teams are signing really good players from Europe one by one. This time the most speculated name is Mohamed Salah. Al-Ittihad have already made an offer but it was rejected by Liverpool in a short time. It won't be easy to convince Liverpool for this transfer even if they do that for the player. But I doubt Salah would like to leave this season. I think he is just concentrated on his game with Liverpool this season. At least for one more season he might want to fight for Liverpool's success.

After that there might be an agreement to be made between Liverpool and Salah to let him sign for a Saudi team.
Yes, a lot of these rumors. But I hope he won't go to Saudi Arabia just for money. He is still very good playing in Europe. Al Ittihad appear ready to pay Salah from Liverpool £100m. They also offered Salah a salary of £200m per season. Fantastic value.
Actually, I am quite worried about the courage of the Saudi Arabian clubs. They have the courage to give a very fantastic salary, this is like it will have an effect on Europe. Like the salary of players who are likely to be higher, because the owners of European clubs will not be willing for them to leave.

Al Ittihad has been quite active in the transfer market, signed Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante so far this summer. Now, there's a desire from Al-Ittihad to bring in Mohamed Salah, but can they actually make it happen? Salah is considered as a Liverpool legend, and he's still got the skills for top-level European competition.

Of course, money has its power, who can deny that? If Saudi offers around €300 million, it'll be difficult for Liverpool turn it down, also it's hard to imagine player himself rejecting such wages.

I'm getting the sense of a usual bear market atmosphere. Personally, I'm not convinced that Bitcoin will go under $20k, but it looks like there's an opportunity to accumulate at a lower price. This is the moment between market lows and bullish. Bull markets make people rich, but become wealthy in bear markets. We should not allow the bottom to not only drop, but take the benefits as well.

Once again PSG sent an offer for Mbappe to extend his contract with them and after the recent negotiations they had in the past to make this player stay he said he wanted to stay in PSG for the last season and leave PSG for free which is not something PSG wants and they even put him out of the squad to make this player accept the offer to stay in PSG but the offer is rejected against and it seems it's the last season we see Mbappe playing for PSG.
    


I've heard the same news about Mbappe being in talks with PSG to extend his contract. The French striker is reportedly negotiating his renewal with PSG, although I couldn't find a reliable source for this information. Mbappe has already expressed his interest in staying at PSG for this season only and leaving as a free agent in 2024. Despite various reports circulating, my expectation is that he will stay for just one more season as following the contract.

Yes of course that was an interesting match.  Afghanistan tried well. But unfortunately they were close to the victory but they failed to chase the target. Afghanistan made 300 runs but the target was 302. And now the Pakistan won the series. There is the last match which will be played tomorrow. And I hope Pakistan will win again.  Smiley
The final overs are often chaotic for Afghanistan. Naseem Shah played unbelievable, turning into Afghanistan's biggest nightmare. This is the second time he has led Pakistan to victory in a close match against Afghanistan. Congratulations to Pakistan Cricket for confirming the series win.

Gabriel Jesus is back in Arsenal's training sessions. There's a chance this forward might be included in the squad to face Fulham this weekend. His return provide a significant boost, but it's important to handle his situation carefully to avoid worsening the injury. It might be wise for Arteta to hold him off until after the international break and no rush at this point. Arsenal team should have enough capability to overcome Fulham even without him. However, Arteta may consider giving him a short appearance in the last 15-20 min to gain his fitness for the match against Manchester United!

Afghanistan 91/0, 21 overs!

After the embarrassing loss in the first ODI, Afghanistan's batters demonstrated a strong response in the second ODI against Pakistan. The Afghan openers, Zadran and Gurbaz, played a wonderful game today. I truly enjoyed their performance, it was pure class, and they avoided any reckless shots. It's a positive sight to witness their comeback. Also, the pitch seems to be favoring the batters. The match could get even more interesting if the Afghan bowlers manage to turn things in their favor later on.
