The draw against Osasuna did not make Real Madrid weak, as well as Karim Benzema's failure to execute a penalty kick.
Even though Madrid failed to continue its positive trend by winning every game, it doesn't mean that Barcelona will automatically win the title this season.
Agreed, The problem is sometime the small time can give the big team a tough game for sure. Benzema is not performing so well and i know it. It must not a problem for real madrid. The season is still long. There are lots of thing will happen anytime. I just wanna try to know the fact that if real mdrid can lead the la liga anytime. Im not feeling worry about that. This season is way harder than the previous one since Barcelona is on top form comparing to the previous seasons. They won't let Real Madrid get a gap this time and I believe the winner of the title will be decided by the last 1-2 games. For Real Madrid, they need Benzema, missing a penalty could happen to everyone but the essential part is to get in form rapidly after the injury. This is important for his club and his national team. Both Barcelona and Real Madrid have been playing very well this season, with Barcelona spending a lot of money to strengthen their squad. And they have been able to continue their phenomenal performance in this desert league. But Real Madrid is not underperforming. Barcelona and Madrid are now level on points. However, Real Madrid's biggest weakness this season is that their key player Benzema is out of form. However, Real Madrid managed to continue their consistent performance. The Real Madrid team will be stronger if Benzema returns to form. The battle for the title will become more intense this season. |

What's happening with Indian fielding nowadays? Quite surprising tbh as fielding was one of the departments they've improved a lot in recent times but out of nowhere they are looking like headless chickens on the field, dropping, missing catch opportunities regularly and even misfielding are very common.
Although Indian players have improved in the batting sector, they are now very weak in fielding and bowling. A few days ago, Indian players used to do amazing fielding. I'd say now they've gotten a bit lazy so that's what's happening. Players should be more professional and responsible. South Africa set a target of 250 runs in 40 overs. Quite a good collection. India must collect more than 6 per over if they want to win. Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill returned to the fold with 4 and 3 runs respectively. At the end of 12 overs, India collected only 30 runs. I don't think winning this match is possible if you bat like this. David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen have worked together to take SA from 110-4 to 249-4. The target South Africa set was good. Does the quality of Indian teams decline with time? There was a clear quality difference in both bowling attacks, with SA faring better. As a result of poor fielding and poor bowling, India failed to produce quality batting. There are four wickets down for India as South African bowlers are on a roll. The ball has been handled superbly by South Africa so far! Quinton de Kock and David Miller have continued their performances. de Kock scored 48 and Millar remained unbeaten on 75. Temba Bavuma continued his poor performance. Even in today's match, he returned to the dressing room after collecting only 8 runs. 250 runs in 40 overs was a big enough target. India collected 191 runs in 366 overs. Samson and Shardul are batting well enough. But the performance of India's top-order players was very disappointing. India collected only 45 runs in the first 15 overs. If the top-order players played well, India would have been able to win this match for sure. |

As there were several rumors that FC Bayern could be interested in signing Jude Bellingham, FC Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn has now spoken on the subject and has denied a possible transfer. The German Sportbild newspaper reports on the topic: In an interview with @SPORTBILD, Oliver Kahn was asked if Bayern are among the teams interested in Jude Bellingham: "Of course Jude Bellingham for me is an outstanding player. However, with Kimmich, Goretzka, Sabitzer and Gravenberch, we're very well equipped in this position. So we're not thinking about that at all" Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1577406496278663168Personally, I think that's the right decision. FC Bayern has a strong midfield and another expensive transfer costing millions is definitely not necessary at the moment. As far as I can tell, Bayern Munich's weakest point at the moment is the fact that they do not have a prolific goal scorer on the team. There is no doubt that they are having some difficulties scoring goals since Robert Lewandowski left the team. At the same time, Bayern Munich's performance dropped drastically. Currently, I don't think they have any major problems in their midfield areas so I think it would be a good idea if they went for a striker in order to resolve that problem. Consequently, they will not have to play wingers as strikers. Bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo as the main striker of the team would be the best move to make. Because Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave the team and in Bayern Munich, he is going to have a good performance I believe. |

It’s understandable that some teams may not continue to dominate forever, it will cause a lot of trouble for them financially because Juventus is still paying the amounts of a champion, and fail to win it for 2 years in a row, looking like it will be third year as well. This can't go on, they will have to reel in the transfer costs, and payroll eventually and when that happens it’s going to be even worse for them.
Meanwhile teams like Napoli do not get championship money, but they build a team for success with whatever they are given, which they get used to, and that is why sometimes they overachieve what they should, since they are already designed for a level, so anything more than that is success.
There is no doubt that the Italian League is one of the most unpredictable leagues in the world right now. And it is really difficult to predict what is going to happen in this league. The teams which are supposed to be at the top are not doing very well. And on the other hand, the teams which are generally mid-table teams are doing quite well this season. Napoli is a different case because they generally play well at the start of the season. On the other hand, when it comes to finishing well at the end of the season, they are not able to do that at all. It is not like they are a bad team or anything. They are capable of delivering excellent results. But the biggest problem is that they are not consistent enough. |

I don't know how far this has affected cricket. Just think of yourself getting immigrated into another country. After spending specific number of years, you'll be given support from the government in all needs same as the country's native citizen. Here also the players have got support and playing for those countries. I don't find anything wrong and degrading cricket.
The key word in your post is "after spending specific number of years". In cricket anyone will become eligible to play for a country if they reside there for 6 months. Most of the sports allow naturalized citizens to represent a country (some, like FIBA are exceptions). But in cricket, citizenship is not needed and there comes the problem. If you look at the UAE team, you can find that almost everyone has some first-class experience in India or Pakistan. They migrated to UAE after getting assurances about getting a central contract. These people can't be compared to someone like Usman Khawaja, who migrated to Australia when he was just five years old. @Sithara007 I don’t really blame those player’s because it’s probably very difficult to get into their country’s playing 11, and when they get an opportunity to show their talent they’re right in taking that opportunity. Lastly I understand you feel that country’s who have their own citizens participating should get more funding, but I feel that countries who outsource should also get some funds if not equal funds otherwise it’s quiet possible that we may never get to see those player’s talents. I think that ICC is the only one to blame here. Because if there was no option like this those players wouldn't be able to play for other countries. The countries are also going to use this as a way to make some money. As a cricket fan, it hurts to see that cricket is just being used as a way of doing business and that also by some people who probably don't even care about the improvement of cricket. Well, to be honest I think there are a lot of teams that do not care about the improvement of cricket (big-4) but that's another story. I think cricket can only be played by a person for a certain team if he is a resident of that country for at least 6 years. Or if he has citizenship from that country. I still don't think that is the best solution but I think they can implement this one first and make improvements going into the future. |

If we want a big profit in the long run or at least 2 years then I suggest to buy Bitcoin, the current price is around $ 19K and is a good offer to buy in large quantities, I'm sure the Bitcoin trend will soon improve and can reach $ 100K in 2 or 3 years.
Compared to the price that OP mentioned and maybe he bought it, the price right now is really too good to buy. If anyone hasn't bought bitcoin yet or still has money, I recommend everyone to start buying now, don't wait for a better price. This may not be the final bottom but I can say we are near the bottom. Many people predict bitcoin will rise and reach new ATH after halving means about 2 years as you say and maybe bitcoin won't rush to rise for about 2 years but there's no guarantee bitcoin will fall further so take a chance. Sometimes the cryptocurrency market always gives us surprises. |

Ilir Latifi fought with his leg swollen and he didn't tell ringside and coach that he has, but he can not afford to cancel a fight against the Legendary Aleksei Oleinik, it was an absolute great fight you can see takedowns from the two but the standing was when Latifi gets into Oleinik the most, so that is it the fight end up with a decision win for Ilir Latifi, and Latifi is now turning 40 so this might be his last match if the UFC will not give him a contract again, but if he still wants to fight maybe the UFC will still give him something,
As far as I'm concerned, Latifi had an excellent performance in this fight. Afterward, I think a lot of people had expected him to win because he was clearly the better fighter in this one. There is no doubt that Latifi had a better scope in terms of the total strike, significant strike, and take down than his opponent. Oleinik fought well as well, but Latifi was a much better fighter than him. I have been wondering what will happen to the future of his career from this point on. I am not going to be surprised if he announces soon that he is going to retire, since he is already quite old. |

India VS South Africa
The second T20 match between these two teams will be played today. India has already won the first match. This match will be crucial for the South African side as if they lose today then they will lose the series. Jaspreet Bhumrah has been ruled out from this series and the upcoming T20WC. Looking at the last match I feel the Indian bowlers performed very well in his absence. I am hoping the same kind of performance from them today.
Although Bhumrah will not play this match but still Indians are favorites for this match. Those who are planning to bet on this match should know that there is a forecast of high rain today in the match. You should consider this also while placing a bet. Toss may play a important role if there is a rain later today. Winning the toss can play a big role in T20 matches. And if rain obstruct today's match, those who win the toss will be ahead. I am not worried about Bhomra who is absent today match. The current Indian team is quite strong and the way they beat them in the last match that was really great effort. In today's match they will try to win the match with roaring like a tiger. The first match was one-sided. India won very easily. And India was able to win only because of the outstanding performance of their bowlers. If the bowlers perform well in today's match as well, India will win easily. In the last few matches, we have seen Indian batsmen playing brilliantly. I think Indian batsmen can continue their good performance in today's match as well. And at least they will be able to provide more than 180 targets. At the end of 3 overs, the Indian batsmen collected 21 runs without losing any wicket. If KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma's partnership extends, India will collect more than 200. |

Manchester City 2-0 Manchester United (35th Minutes)
Manchester City now leads 2-0. I don't think there is any chance for Manchester United to win or draw in this match. In 35 minutes Manchester City players were able to make 13 shots, while Manchester United players made only 1. Manchettes United's players' main task is only to counter City's players' attacks. City's players are aggressive from the start of the match. Especially Foden, Grealish, Haaland and Bruyne are playing great. Manchester City will win this match very easily. Even I guess we will get a chance to enjoy several more goals in this match. This is proving that Manchester United is still weak this season.

The Women's Asia Cup will start from today, with Bangladesh taking on Thailand in the first match. A total of 7 teams are taking part. Apart from the four test nations (Afghanistan is not participating), three of the associate nations are also taking part (Thailand, Malaysia and United Arab Emirates). Last time, the number of participants was 6, and back then the trophy was won by Bangladesh. India will be the favorites this time, especially after they white-washed England 3-0 in the ODI series. Each of the teams will play a total of 6 matches in the group phase, and the top-4 will proceed to the semi-finals.
The Bangladesh women versus Thailand women match has already ended. It is good to see the Bangladeshi women playing so well. They have won this match quite convincingly. With 9 wickets and 50 balls left this was a Goodwin for Bangladesh women. Generally, this type of when is not often seen in T20 cricket. But I am still sad that Shamima Sultana did not get her half-century. Rumana Ahmed was the best bowler for Bangladesh. 3 wickets for 9 runs in 3 overs. That is just amazing. I think it is going to be a good tournament. And even though Bangladesh is performing well as the defending champion I don't think they will be able to defend it properly. India is obviously going to be the hot favorite. |

Do Kwon has a lot of money. so that it is very young for him to run away and disguise himself even though he is still in South Korea without having to leave the country. she just needs to do plastic surgery. the issue of burn tax I think it's a good idea. because it will recover LUNC bit by bit. although it takes a long time but I think it will be good. but indeed I'm still wondering if Do Kwon is still in control of LUNC?
Cosmetic Surgery? Your thought makes me fall out of my chair laughing, a different thought and I don't know if Dokwon thought of this? If you say like you, all criminals in the world can easily escape the arrest warrant or the death penalty, just spend money on surgery to become a different person can have a good life. LOL As far as I know, Lunc is no longer related to Dokwon but is run by a new team. Maybe that's why Binance has publicly supported the project, it's good to see that binance is helping the project as well as the people. Hopefully, with CZ's talent, he will find a solution to save Lunc. |

In my experience, ETH and BNB are best to invest them these altcoins give profit and have great opportunity
It is true. For the safest choice, it should be ETH and BNB, these coins are the most convincing coins to hold. We all know that ETH and BNB have very strong fundamentals, and these coins have multi-functions. There is no doubt to buy and hold both these coins for the short or the long term. I always add (buy) more of these coins whenever I have extra money, because ETH and BNB are always the main crypto assets for me besides Bitcoin. Ethereum and BNB are always good choices especially with today's bear market, both coins are very suitable for long term investment and maybe it will be profitable, but it must also be understood that everyone has their own preferences There is no doubt these coins both are the 2 biggest and most potential coins in the altcoin market. We are currently in a bear market, so we should focus only on investing in big, established crypto coins, rather than investing in new, low-cap crypto coins, as they are too risky. But you are right, everyone has different investment preferences and like OP is looking for low capital coins instead of top projects because he wants big returns. The list that OP mentioned I find Matic also very potential and worth investing in, Matic is really a potential project next to ETH and BNB. |

It is ridiculous to see people are speculating that ETHW should rise more because of ETC. ETC looks at ETH and ETHW looks at ETC.
If you notice the TVL of the ETHW ecosystem recently increased very strongly, the money poured in is huge, that's why people speculate it will grow faster than ETC. I'm also against ETHW because we already have ETC as POW and don't need another ETHW, but with current development ETHW is dominating. Recently, Binance also officially announced the Official Launch of the Ethereum Proof-of-Work (ETHW) Mining Pool, Binance is said to be still out of the game as it doesn't allow ETHW transactions, but this move shows that they are ready to enter, so those who like to make quick profits should not ignore ETHW for the time being. https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/5ec076eec0cb49babae90f6b0597d5c7?ref=AZTKZ9XS&utm_source=BinanceTwitter&utm_medium=GlobalSocial&utm_campaign=GlobalSocial |

Saw the worst performance by South African batters in yesterday's match against India. The pitch was indeed favouring the bowlers but if the top order of the SA batting would have been more careful then they wouldn't had got out so fast. At one point SA had a score of just 9 for 5. Yesterday's match was totally in control of the Indian side and such T20 matches do not generate much entertainment.
South African bowlers also had a great start and at one point, India was reeling at 17/2, before Suryakumar Yadav and KL Rahul rescued them. The pitch was very supportive of pace bowling (irrespective of what the curator claimed before the start of the match). Kagiso Rabada and Wayne Parnell started exeptionally well and they gave away just 30 runs from their 8 overs. But the other bowlers (especially Anrich Nortje and Tabraiz Shamsi couldn't keep up the pressure and leaked runs). BTW, does anyone know why Marco Jansen is not playing? I watched the match. The pitch was bowling-friendly. Scoring runs was not easy for the batsmen. Experienced batsmen like Rohit Sharma and Kohli could not survive at the crease. However, India won easily with the help of Suryakumar Yadav and KL Rahul's responsible batting. KL Rahul batted very cautiously but Suryakumar Yadav's batting was aggressive. If the pitch was so bowling friendly, how come two Indian batsmen Yadav and Rahul make half centuries? The pitch was no doubt not heaven for batsmen, but still, it was a playable pitch if players decided to bat sensibly on the pitch. Indian batsmen showed their class and experience in this match. If the pitch is bowling friendly then no player is able to score runs? I don't see where your logic is. I watched the match. KL Rahul has batted with enough responsibility. His strike rate was less than 100. Batsmen like KL Rahul always bat at a strike rate of over 140 if the pitch is batting-friendly. Surya Kumar Yadav batted well. With KL Rahul batting responsibly, Yadav grew more confident and played some aggressive shots. I would say the pitch was not batting-friendly, but the Indian experienced batsmen played brilliantly. This is why India won. |

Leicester have their biggest opportunity ahead on this week to get their first win in the league.
They are going to host Nottingham. Nottingham are also one of the problematic teams in defense but Leicester are better than them offensively now. Interestingly Nottingham are still struggling to play well as a team after literally changing the whole squad. While they are facing this problem Leicester can benefit from it by using their attacking power. They desperately need a win now to start recovering. It is difficult for them to solve their defensive issues without new transfers. But they can at least take advantage of this kind of chances to win and get themselves out of the relegation area.
Liecester has no other option than to win the match, even Rodgers should be aware of this, if he fails to win Nottingham this weekend, he will just sack himself. There is no two ways about it. That match is a must win for Liecester, it is not about this is football, anything can happen. I know anything can happen, but Liecester needs to win this match even if to do magical powers. There is no how the story would be nice that Liecester didn't get a win from Nottingham forest. This has been the most surprising Leicester City performance this season. We always see this team in the top 10 of the points table. A strong enough team and they are capable of performing well against renowned teams. But they have lost form badly since the start of this season. The last team in the points table is now Leicester. Out of 7 matches, they lost 6 matches and drew in one match. They will face Nottingham Forest in the next match. As it is Leicester's home match. Let's hope they play well at home and get back on track. But Leicester's defense is too weak. Victory is impossible unless the performance of the defenders improves. |

This is very happy news for Real Madrid as well as their fans, as they will be seeing their team perform with the potential for excellent results coming back. If he plays in the match against Osasuna, I think it would be better if he came on as a substitute in the second half with the purpose of seeing his progress after the injury. Then against Shakhtar Donetsk he could be played in full. BTW, what is your score prediction in this Real Madrid Vs Osasuna match later? Can Real Madrid win with a score that is far enough away? 3 - 0 for example.
Real can win both 4-0 and 2-1. Any result is possible, even without taking into account whether the main team or the team with some reserve players will play. If this game was not after the international break, then I would bet on the victory of Real Madrid with a handicap of -1, but most likely -2, but since this is not such a game, it may be generally worth waiting for the game to start and make bet in live mode. I see no way to call Osasuna weak. Osasuna's performance this season has been fairly stable. They are now the fifth team in the table after winning 5 out of 6 matches. And so it cannot be said that Real Madrid will win easily. However, they have not lost a point in any match so far. However, teams often perform erratically after a long break. And so I wouldn't be surprised if Real Madrid dropped points for the first time in the season. This is Real Madrid's home match. Real Madrid is strong at the Bernabeu. Madrid is also unbeaten in their last 15 matches against Osasuna. However, Madrid drew 0-0 in the last home match. So Osasuna will play the next match with the goal of a draw. |

Ligue 1 could just transform after this season. What they need is just one or two clubs that will buy big players to compete with Psg. When this happens, one step is achieved successfully. Another step is to make Psg win champions league and if they do, Mbappe would be projected for Ballon d'Or and he will win the prestigious award. These are the promises that kept Mbappe in the club against going to Real Madrid. I'm not sure about PSG in the Champions League, but this season they have good stats with 2 wins in the group stages. For that, PSG have to prove many things, especially they have to get used to playing as a big team with very good cohesiveness. Mbappe, Messi and Neymar would be terrible if they helped each other but several times I have actually seen Mbappe play alone when he has the ball. Earlier this season Messi had good stats for PSG. He started to feel like he found his game again and that made him perform better than the previous season. However, some players at PSG had high egos, it didn't really help the team in the end. The internal ego and competition is much with Mbappe than the other two star players. Obviously Messi has nothing to bother about in football except winning the World Cup. He is old and he is successful and he is arguably the best player football has produced, left for him there won't be troubles in the psg squad. The challenge will always be Neymar because he cannot overlook Mbappe. Neymar is young and could have a better season still, that is why he is not always comfortable with Mbappe claiming dominance in the team. Compared to what PSG has shown in the last season, PSG is doing quite well this season. In my opinion, they are capable of going at least to the finals of the Champions League this year. However, I think it is highly unlikely that they will be able to win the Champions League at the end of the season. I suddenly start thinking that PSG needs to win the Champions League as soon as I look at the team they have right now, they have gained most of the world-class players on their squad. When I see the team they have, I start thinking they must win it. My belief is that PSG's actual goal should be to win the Champions League. Otherwise, even the players in the squad would have no reason to stay at PSG. |

These key players have their contribution in all formats of cricket. The height of Green is an added advantage for him. In the recent T20 match he performed well. Once after Warner Australia haven't got a good spinner who have the ability to change the match. In most of the matches Smith takes role as a spinner.
Not going to lie, Green still seems big fraud in test cricket. He might be useful in filling the gap of an all rounder but I still didn't see any impact, for some reason Aussie experts rate him very high and continuously back him. In limited T-20 exposure, he showed extremely good temperament but he was supposed to be the next Jacques Kallis for Australia according to Aussie. Hope I'm wrong and he surpasses the great Kallis. Hate to be the naysayer but really don't think that is going to happen. But Donald Green is only 23 years old and he has a lot of time ahead of him. The way Australia is trying to nurture this kid, I am not going to be surprised if he actually becomes one of the best players in the world. But as of now, I don't think he is going to be the Henry Kallis of Australia. And with the shorter formats of cricket being more popular day by day which is going to be a tough job for this kid to live up to the expectation. |

Yes, Atalanta can probably get his best position between 4-6 for this season. Their form is not bad, just not like a few seasons ago when they could participate in the UCL. Milan is not the favourite, but it will be happy to see Milan can defend the title this season. also, I hope Milan can perform optimally in the UCL(even maybe this is just a dream) rather than Serie A title. Indeed, both are important, but I think it's time to bring back the UCL title to Italy.
Atalanta loss their opportunity last season settle fourth standing position place and can't participants on UEFA Champion League, seems different in this season after success lead second position standing, Atalanta have chance back to UEFA Champion League next season if can finish on top fourth at the end season. Unfortunately I think Milan keep favorite candidate to get Scudetto in this season, learned how Milan performance last season have chance favorite Milan candidate to get Serie A tittle except still have Inter and AS Roma. Have long time Serie A team not dominance in Champion League after last time Juventus success reach to final stage on 2015 but defeated by Barcelona, only AC Milan success collected many Champion League trophies for Serie A team with 7 trophies. Atalanta started really well in this season but they will have to be really consistent. They are in the second position now and they are just behind on goal difference. But I think there are going to be huge changes to the table after a few more matches. Only 7 matches have been played and it is too early to say something. I think in the end it is going to be Juventus, Milan, Roma, and Inter in the top 4 probably. I say Roma is going to be in the top 4 because expectations are quite high from them in this season. I have my doubts about the teams from the Italian League dominating the Champions League. Because I really don't think any team is actually consistent or strong enough this season to dominate the champions League. |

Inter - Barcelona will be eyed very closely indeed. Inter aren't having good days recently. They have defensive and offensive issues both now. They have another difficult match against Roma before facing Barcelona in the Champions League. If they don't have a good result against Roma too it would demoralize them even more. In any case it isn't easy for them to recover magically in a short time though.
Barcelona have had a very impressive run so far. Maybe they lost to Bayern Munich here but their performance was still decent. Their performance in the La Liga has already been very satisfying. I expect them to show the same performance against Inter too and have the control of the match. They can win this to make up for the Bayern Munich loss.
Yes Inzaghi's troops are not in great shape. especially in the last match, Inter had to lose when they played away games at home to Udinese. after the international break, Inter will play host to Roma, Inzaghi must fix his squad, especially in their defense line which is quite fragile. as you said, it is not easy for them to miraculously recover in a short period of time. As for Barcelona, I don't see Barcelona playing badly when they travel to Bayern. I think they were just out of luck at the time. In this match, Barcelona should be able to beat Inter easily. three points, is a mandatory result for Xavi Hernandez's squad. Barcelona performed well against Bayern, they had many chances to score, but they couldn't score. Bayern Munich capitalized on their chances to win. Barcelona must win their next matches to get points. apart from the result that Barcelona received against Bayern, Barcelona's performance and quality is better than Inter Milan this season so I think Barcelona's chances of winning are much bigger and the defeat against Bayern cannot be a reference in Barcelona's match against Inter Milan. precisely because having suffered a defeat against Bayern will make Barcelona play hard to get a win and if you look at their quality, it is very possible. There is no doubt that Barcelona has been playing extremely well most recently, and they are in a very good position in La Liga right now. Unfortunately, they don't have a good record in the Champions League competition, which is what makes the problem worse. It is for this reason that I believe they will be unable to win the match against Milan in the upcoming match. However, the current form of both teams, makes it apparent that it looks like Barcelona is going to be the winner of this match. In addition, Barcelona also lost against Bayern Munich in the Champions League very recently as well. Therefore, they will also be determined to do well in this match as well. |
