I also think that Arsenal isn't through yet. Their chances are good of course as they have their home game against Sporting, but the game still needs to be played and I wouldn't consider Sporting all too weak. In a good game they might cause Arsenal quite some trouble.

Arsenal's team is strong enough. But their main problem is that they want to continue their good performances in both Europa League and Premier League. And it's very difficult. They are focusing on both venue matches. And so their performance has deteriorated somewhat.
The first leg was a draw. I believe Arsenal will make a comeback. And Arsenal will dominate the second leg. But Sporting is a strong team. They must be dealt with very carefully. And the defense must be kept strong. If Arsenal's defenders don't perform well against Sporting, they won't be able to win.

Sri Lanka VS New Zealand

The first Test match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand turned out to be a very competitive one. Sri Lanka has given the New Zealand team a target of 285 runs. And it doesn't look like it will be easy to collect for New Zealand. Right now both teams have equal chances to win.

However, I expected a slightly better performance from Sri Lanka in the second innings. If they could collect more than 350 they would be able to provide a good target. Then 285 runs are enough to fight. If the Sri Lankan bowlers can do well in the first session tomorrow, and the New Zealand top-order can take wickets quickly, then Sri Lanka has a chance to win.

Saturday's transfer gossip:
Tottenham's Brazil forward Richarlison, 25, has joined Paris St-Germain's France forward Kylian Mbappe, 24, and Benfica's Portugal striker Gonçalo Ramos, 21, as a potential replacement for France striker Karim Benzema, 35, at Real Madrid. Lots of possible candidates for the new Real striker but who will end up going to Real? I suppose that Real still want Mbappe as their first choice, but the question is how realistic it is.
More news about Mbappe:
Mbappe contacted Real Madrid last summer - via his "entourage" - and said he regretted agreeing a new contract at PSG and asked the La Liga champions to sign him.
Real Madrid want Mbappe, but are hoping they can sign him on a free transfer when his PSG contract ends in 2024. So it looks like we will be seeing the same Mbappe saga again as last season. Will the final outcome be the same?

I wonder if Real Madrid is going to take in Mbappé as the main striker. Especially after PSG not being able to achieve the expected result. We all know how Mbappé has become so arrogant after having more power compared to his teammates. He has basically become a problem child. I don't know if Real Madrid is going to want to deal with that right now.

But at the same time, it is also true that he is the better one compared to the other two players, Richardson and Goncalo Ramos.

Tomorrow LOSC vs Lyon will start the match between these two teams in French Soccer League. I don't understand which team will win between LOSC and Lyon. But I think if LOSC can play well then LOSC will have a big chance to win this match.  But still LOSC is ahead in the points table. I don't like the game of Lyon team players that's why I will bet for LOSC team.

Both teams are very strong here. So it is difficult to predict which team will win. Both teams have chances to win. But I am willing to bet Lille to win this match. Because this match is Lille's home match. And the Lille team is strong in home matches. Lille team managed to get 27 points in 13 home matches. Also, Lille's attack is quite strong. However, I think Lille will dominate this match and they will win. But the match will definitely be competitive. Lille will win 2-1 or 3-2.

I was reading some articles before the match started about the pitch and it stated that the pitch will remain normal. Normal here means that it would not help spinners from day 1. I think it might help Ash & Jaddu after lunch today. It would be good to keep the pacers on rather than experimenting with the spinners. If Green & Khawaja keep on batting like they did yesterday then Australia would easily score somewhere around 400+ runs which would not be easy for the Indian batters to chase. The partnership needs to be broken and I am sure Rohit knows that too.
First of all, the Indian pacers (Umesh and Shami) are not getting much support from the pitch. And then the two Australians out there (Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green) have played these two pacers with a lot of confidence so far. Mohammed Shami picked up half of the wickets to fall till now, but he has conceded close to 4 runs per over in doing so. I would expect the Indian captain to give at least two-thirds of the overs to Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. Axar Patel also looked good, but at no point of time it seemed as if he is troubling the Australian batsmen.

Australian batsmen's batting in the fourth test surprised me a lot. In the first three matches, we saw Australia batting erratically and weakly. But they are playing very well in this test. Australia scored 301 runs in 109 overs, losing only four wickets. Usman Khawaja remains unbeaten with 133 runs and Cameroon Green with 70 runs. Australia will likely collect more than 400 easily in the first innings.
I would not say that Indian spinners are bowling badly. But they are not able to pick up wickets. Because Australian batsmen are batting very carefully. Like the third test match, I think Australia will win this match as well.

Is only 156 runs enough to win? The Bangladesh team's batting line-up is not weak. But the batsmen's performance is erratic. Bangladesh team has the ability to beat England team. If the target was more than 175 then I would definitely say that the England team is going to win the match. But in the T20 format, it is not easy to win by giving a target of 157 runs on such a pitch.

At the end of 2 overs, Bangladesh collected 20 runs. Rony Talukder scored 16 runs off just 8 balls. And Liton Das collected 5 runs. If the two openers are able to play well then Bangladesh can win by batting at a target of 157 runs. Because Shanto, Shakib, and Hridoy are all in good form now.
This is the match Bangladesh fans were waiting to see. Look at the strike rate of Bangladeshi batters today. 120, 150, 170, 141, 141 and 115. Najmul Hossain Shanto made the difference. But Credit goes to all Batters. Everyone contributed to winning the match against the world champions. Moen Ali and Adil Rashid bowled well, and both got one 1wicket each. Their economy was reasonable compared to other English bowlers.
This will give a massive boost to the Bangladesh team, as they are not doing good in this format of cricket. Team Selectors gave a chance to Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain and Rony Talukdar. This is the price of their recent performance In the Bangladesh Premier League. Shanto also played well in BPL.

The main weakness of the Bangladesh team was their batting line-up. There were a lot of talented batsmen in the team, but there was no batsman in the Bangladesh team who was able to perform well on a regular basis. Also, Bangladesh's opening pair did not perform well. The performance of Bangladesh's top order batsmen against England was outstanding. Rony, Shanto, Hridoy and Shakib all batted very well. And that's why they won. Moreover, the Bangladeshi bowlers bowled well in the dead over. I thought England would score at least 50 runs in the last 5 overs. But their collection was only 30 runs in the last 5 overs. This is also one of the reasons for England's defeat.

The overall performance of the PSG team was not good against Bayern Munich today. They lost 2-0 and were eliminated from the Champions League. Although Messi's performance is slightly better, I don't see a better performance than Mbappe in this match. A better performance was expected from Mbappe in such an important match.
PSG could not even score a goal. They lost both home and away matches. There are many star players on the team. Yet their performance is poor. PSG management should have appointed an experienced coach for the Champions League. Galtier was not experienced enough. And the PSG team got the result very well.
The problem is that PSG works as if they were split in two parts. On the one hand there is the offensive part, and on the other hand there is the defensive part. But they don't seem to be working together a lot and when the offense has the ball, they rarely have any options to become create and it all comes down to Mbappe and Messi pulling off a miraculous move and score, but if that is not happening, PSG runs into a deadlock.

The same counts when they are defending against Bayern attacks, the whole offensive line is standing around in front waiting for the defense to do the work and then play the ball to them. This is different for Bayern where even Choupo-Moting is investing at least some effort into his defensive work.

I totally agree with your point. The midfield has nothing to do with PSG's attack. PSG's midfield is very weak. It is very difficult for a striker to score without the help of midfielders. Galtier could not strengthen his team's midfield. If the bonding between the team players is not strong, the overall performance of the team is not stable. The relationship between Neymar and Mbappe was also very visible. If there is infighting between the players, the performance deteriorates. PSG's defense was quite good against Bayern Munich. But they lost due to poor performance of midfield and forward.

At the end of the first innings, England collected 156 runs for 6 wickets. But the score of the game was different, but we were not surprised. Bangladesh came back brilliantly in the last 6 to 7 overs. It has to be appreciated. However, two catch misses in the same over in today's match have left Bangladesh far behind. Hasan Mahmood and Taskin Ahmed's superb bowling towards the end saw England restricted to 156 runs. But not without praising Nazmul Hossain Shantar's fielding. He took three important catches and fielded very well today. He pulled off a brilliant save off the very last ball of the 20th over which might have been an out if Ronnie Talukder had palmed his catch. I hope Bangladesh can achieve 157 runs.

Is only 156 runs enough to win? The Bangladesh team's batting line-up is not weak. But the batsmen's performance is erratic. Bangladesh team has the ability to beat England team. If the target was more than 175 then I would definitely say that the England team is going to win the match.

It appears that South Africa have continued their batting line almost like this in the first match, So it can be said that South Africa has been able to score well in the first innings batting in this match as well.
Now it is to be seen whether West Indies can come back in their batting line up compared to the first match. Their batting line-up was very weak in both innings in the first match, they were stuck for just 212 runs. So after getting into the match, it will be understood how their batting line-up will be. And currently South Africa's Kashigo Rabada and Anrich Nortje are performing very well.  If West Indies can do well against their bowling and keep their first innings above 350 I think they have some chances to come back. So I'm not going into any prediction right now, I'll make a decision  after seeing their first batting performance.
South Africa is in good position by the end of day 1. It have scored 311/7 with Markram scoring 96 runs and De Zorzi 85 runs. Every player have added little runs which had helped in making good score. Right now Klaasen on the crease and by the 2nd day's play Keshav Maharaj is supposed to join with Klaasen. Maybe the lineup can be changed. West Indies will try to end the innings within 350 runs. West Indies used to give some unexpected performance and its been long making such performance. Maybe in this test match we can expect spectacular performance coming from the batting line-up of West Indies.

I am very disappointed with the performance of South Africa's middle order batsmen. South Africa lost their third wicket for 248 runs. The first three batsmen started South Africa's innings brilliantly. After losing three wickets for 248 runs, South Africa lost the seventh wicket for 311 runs. If the African middle order batsmen were able to bat with some responsibility then it would not be difficult for them to score 400+ runs in this match. Even then I expect the African team to collect more than 350. Heinrich is still at the crease. Experienced enough batsmen. If he stays at the crease, South Africa's innings will be longer.

Union Berlin's performance this season is very good compared to previous years. And since the start of the season, they have managed to hold the top spot in the points table for a long time. This is truly commendable. But if we compare the performance of Union Berlin with Bayern Munich and Dortmund, the two first-tier teams of the Bundesliga, then Union Berlin will be far behind.
Union Berlin's forwards are not strong enough. I think Union Berlin's good performance is due to their coach's excellent match strategy. Their squad is also not strong enough. I think if the team can qualify for the Champions League, Berlin management will build a strong squad next season. The Bundesliga may become more competitive in the future.
Union Berlin this season has reach to their top performance and i think people were never imagined before that they can able to get first position on standings league before Bayern can overtake their position and i think their process to being an strong contender for champion league zone were very rapid that it took only 4 years since promote from Bundesliga 2 and now Union Berlin can compete with famous clubs such as Dortmund and Leipizg and one thing for sure their manager didn't required big money to build solid squad 
Union Berlin last season can able to finish at 5th on bundesliga standings and if we see their current performance i am sure they can achieve higher position this season even probably playing at champion league for next season and for european competitions Union Berlin can successfully to qualified to round of 16 and for europa league this is their best achievement
As the season began, Union Berlin impressed many people by their performance during this season. However, in reality, they did not have the same amount of potential as the teams such as Dortmund and Bayern Munich, and they did not have to invest as much in their team as these two teams did. Hence, Union Berlin does not have as much potential as these two teams. However, they are still in third place at the moment.

Union Berlin impressed everyone with their excellent match tactics. The Berlin team was not strong. But the team was able to consistently perform well due to a stable match strategy. In fact, they have been at the top of the points table for a long time, leaving Dortmund and Bayern Munich behind. Berlin coach Fischer has to be thanked for this. However, if this team strengthens their attack next season, I think they will be able to challenge Bayern Munich for the title. Their only weakness this season is attack. They need an experienced striker.

-snip-
A good performance just from Mbappe and Messi won't by far be enough tonight. The whole team needs to stay concentrated and focused for 90 minutes and whatever comes on top. I think Bayern is the big favorite here, but if PSG wants to have a chance they will need to fix their issues regarding their focus. Often times they have some very strong 60 to 70 minutes of the game, but then there are those moments so often that they lose control over the game and mess up their great performance by losing focus for just small phases in the game, but if that happens against an opponent like Bayern Munich you usually get punished for it.
Today we will have one team again so early on in the Champions League that is going to leave that international stage with a lot of disappointment. Getting kicked out at this stage is hard because these players live for the Champions League and the season is kind of over if you are out in early March.

The overall performance of the PSG team was not good against Bayern Munich today. They lost 2-0 and were eliminated from the Champions League. Although Messi's performance is slightly better, I don't see a better performance than Mbappe in this match. A better performance was expected from Mbappe in such an important match.

PSG could not even score a goal. They lost both home and away matches. There are many star players on the team. Yet their performance is poor. PSG management should have appointed an experienced coach for the Champions League. Galtier was not experienced enough. And the PSG team got the result very well.

Another 200+ game. Wow. These ladies are seriously delivering some great games right at the beginning of the tournament. RCB looks like they might chase down the target since they still have players like Perry etc who can bat well.

Also, I just noticed the new DRS rule regarding wides and no-balls which is an excellent call by the BCCI.

I did not expect this type of total from the Giants. We saw the Giants get all out for probably only 64 in the first match of this tournament. It seems like whenever any team is playing against RCB, they become a really good team LMFAO.

Anyway, RCB is not being able to keep up with the run rate at all. Right now they need more than 13.9 runs per over. With 7 overs remaining, it is going to be a really tough ask for RCB to win this match.

It must be really frustrating for PSG to hear about the seriousness of Neymar's injury. He has always been an injury-prone player and this didn't change in this season as well. Fortunately Mbappe and Messi are still making a great duo together. As long as they have both of them on the pitch from the beginning of the game PSG should still be strong against Bayern Munich.
I expect a better start from PSG this time while they have these players both. If they don't have serious problems with finishing then they can really manage to eliminate their opponent one way or another.
PSG has so far been without Neymar and has only relied on Mbappe and Messi, they are still getting consistent results in several of their matches. Neymar's season is over and it was even rumored that he would leave PSG this summer before he suffered an injury. However, under these circumstances, Neymar would prefer to stay at PSG, after all, no club wants to sign an injured player. Against Bayern Munich in the UCL game the day after tomorrow I think it's not as easy as other matches in Ligue 1 because it's a different competition and for sure PSG will still have difficulty turning things around.
Indeed, PSG got a strong team and especially has powerful forwards even without Neymar, they have Messi and Mbappe and each one of these players can be enough to change the game for this team even for the game against Bayern Munich they still have enough power to perform well against this team also in the French League, there is a gap between PSG and the second team which can be the reason to say they are safe in the first position of the table.
Mbappe and Messi will be PSG's hope of defeating Bayern Munich in the second leg later and that seems to be the thing that the Munich defense is most afraid of if they have to deal with these two players. If the first goal is scored by PSG I think they will control the game. For the Ligue 1 standings nothing can stop PSG and I think now Marseille are starting to struggle to cover that distance.

I agree with you. PSG team was defeated in the first leg. And Mbappe and Messi will definitely need to play well if they want to win in the second leg. Without a good performance from these two players, it is not possible for PSG to win against a team like Bayern Munich. PSG's defense also needs to tighten up. Bayern Munich's attack is strong. If PSG's defense is not strong, they will not be able to resist Munich's players.

As PSG trailed in the first leg, it will be a bit difficult for them to perform well in the second leg. Munich can only qualify for the quarter-finals if they draw this match. The match is also Bayern Munich's home match. I think PSG will not be able to win.

Well, I also think the same, no matter how bad Bayern has had, for me they will come out champions
Bayern Munich are unique in Bundesliga and they have a power which can not be seen in other clubs in Bundesliga. Other clubs usually are fearful when they are in races with Bayern Munich and at important times, they often have slippery performances and lose the titles to Bayern Munich.
Quote
I don't deny that Union Berlin and Dortmund have tremendous quality, but I think that now Bayern have what it takes to be champions, now well Once they reach the Bundesliga, they will be very focused on the UCL, a competition where only the best are, now Bayern's motivation is at its highest point, and it's also as you say, they don't see the Bundesliga anymore like boring, it's very exciting and I think it's gaining a lot of demand and the fans are more and more satisfied.
Union Berlin after a latest defeat will lose their confidence more and they mostly were striked out from the race. Now it is like dual race between Bayern Munich and Dortmund and with a recent defeat of Dortmund in Champions League, the dual race becomes more exciting.
Dortmund now will focus for Bundesliga and Bayern Munich still have Champions League. We must wait for final result of Bayern Munich against PSG to see will they continue their journey in Champions League or will have to focus on Bundesliga only like Dortmund.
If Bayern Munich continue in Champions League, Dortmund will have good advantage in Bundesliga.
Speaking of performance, I'm quite impressed with union Berlin.  Not even Dortmund, cuz Dortmund have earned a name in Germany football big enough to win the German Bundesliga without much deliberation or surprises at their performances. But for union Berlin,  they have not been this good in the past years when Bayern used to go away with this title effortlessly. So seeing Germany table in this nature makes me believe that there is a great improvement in the league.

Union Berlin's performance this season is very good compared to previous years. And since the start of the season, they have managed to hold the top spot in the points table for a long time. This is truly commendable. But if we compare the performance of Union Berlin with Bayern Munich and Dortmund, the two first-tier teams of the Bundesliga, then Union Berlin will be far behind.

Union Berlin's forwards are not strong enough. I think Union Berlin's good performance is due to their coach's excellent match strategy. Their squad is also not strong enough. I think if the team can qualify for the Champions League, Berlin management will build a strong squad next season. The Bundesliga may become more competitive in the future.

It depends on each one experience... For me, only COVID years were suck, and the rest is fine because I'm doing rather well (thank God).
The key here is your income level, the higher, the more it has resistance to bad economic conditions. We can't control the economy, but we can somewhat control our income. Look for better jobs or do multiple jobs (side hustling), if you are on the correct track, your well-being will always be better even if the economy is bad.

Exactly, the key here is our income, don't expect the government to find a way or a solution to help us. Let's save ourselves, if our primary income is not enough to cover our daily needs, we should get extra jobs to earn extra income. Society is becoming harsher and harsher, and we should also find a way to adapt to everything, not wait for the government or someone to save us. We cannot expect that the world will be forever peaceful and free of any turbulence. I stopped lamenting about life and rushed to find a part-time job to save myself, now I have a very stable income and almost no longer worry about inflation.

For FC Bayern it is. Oliver Kahn Bayern's chairman just gave an interview a few days ago that they probably won't spend €100 million on a player. FC Bayern has always been known for being solid with its finances and not making reckless financial decisions for single players. And it will stay that way.
Accordingly, I cannot imagine that Bayern would pay such a sum. In the past, great Bayern players were only ever signed when the financial conditions were right or a player was available on a free transfer.
However, you are right. Another club might spend €100 million on Kane. Whether that's a good decision is another matter.
At this time clubs are spending 100 million for even potential players. And Harry Kane has proven himself complex times in the toughest league of all, the English Premier League. So I don't see any reason why any club is not going to spend 100 million for him if they can afford it. I know Bayern Munich does not spend like that. But right now, considering the situation that they are in on the table of Bundesliga, I would say they might make an exception.


I'm not sure if Bayern are willing to sign Harry Kane for €100 million. at the very least, Bayern would prefer an easier talent. there is still Oshimen, at least it is better to bring in Oshimen at a fantastic price than to bring in Harry Kane. apart from age, Osimhen is also young.

On the other hand, other rumors report that Manchester United are reportedly optimistic that they can get Harry Kane in the transfer market next summer. and several British media reports claim that The Red Devils have met representatives of the Spurs star. the results were positive, the Man United camp considered they had a chance to bring Kane to Old Trafford.
well, so the problem now is the price set by the Totteham Hotspur camp. but considering the price set by Spurs with a tag of € 100 million, it seems that it will be difficult to bring in Harry Kane in the transfer market next summer.
Any club that brings in Harry Kane for 100 million is not going to make a bad decision in my opinion. It is true that he is not going to be able to give his service for a longer period of time, at least he is not going to perform like he is doing right now. Because age is going to take away certain skills and physical attributes. But still, as long as he is going to perform well, he will be an asset to that certain club.

Good thing about their conflict is they don't really settle in a physical violence, but they put up numbers and fill the stat sheet and outplaying each other. That's what the fans wants to see between an individual rivalry.
Phoenix and Mavs had a good game as well as the superstars for both teams. Looking forward for both of these teams in the playoffs. Hope they'll have to face each other in a 7 game series.
They're both funny and making good entertainment for the league and that's how it should be when players wanted to compete with one another not putting their rivalry up to the point they hate each other outside the court. after all, this is just a game and they are playing very well to represent their team which is really their main goal and at the same time, to make some name for themselves and not cause any trouble. As I read some comments on social media, everyone wanted to see them playing in the NBA playoffs in a 7 games series which is really a good idea.

Both of them are very sophisticated players. They are not going to engage in any physical contact. But of course, they are going to try to outperform each other and put on a great show for the fans, that's how it should be.

They also understand that this is just a game. I believe they are very well known for the Poole incident that happened. So they are going to try to show that they are better than the other by putting on a great performance and of course giving a stern look whenever they do an unbelievable dunk.

German Sky Sport reporter Florian Plettenberg just announced that the extension of Choupo-Moting's contract (one more year until 2024) likely means that Bayern is not currently looking for a new striker. However a transfer of Harry Kane is not yet completely ruled out. The club is still watching the player and if there is an opportunity to sign him in the future, the club will do its best to make it happen (even though the price might be an issue).

At this point, 100 million for a player like Harry Kane is not a very big amount. I believe he also deserves that kind of money. He is still a very good player even though he is already 29 years old. So he is not too old at the same point. Paying a hundred million is not going to be a bad deal if he performs well in my opinion.

Tottenham wants a reasonable amount for him I would say. I understand that he is no longer a young striker. But at the same time, he is not so old that he will only be able to perform well for one season. He is going to be performing for at least three seasons in my opinion.

The number one thing is to avoid eating out instead just prepare food at home, I spent alot of money eating out because I was too lazy to cook and it has alot of infect my pocket, when I had a visitor who came to stay with me for 6 months, she too over the kitchen and she said to me that as long she will be staying with me no more eating out and I should see how much I will save, and by the end of 3 months I realized that I was wasting alot of money eating out.

By cooking at home, we are able to ensure food safety and hygiene, as well as save money and prepare a varied and nutritious meal. But on the contrary, we will spend a lot of time shopping, cooking, and cleaning, that's why students and busy people choose to eat out.

For me, in eating and drinking should not be too frugal because excessive saving only harms health, and does not ensure nutrition to work. Especially those who do heavy work, they have to eat and drink more to ensure their health. Saving in food is just buying enough to eat, not leaving excess.

I support no one in the war between Russia and Ukraine and all the wars going on in the world, war is a crime. But to say who benefits in this war, it is clear that the arms dealers are the ones who benefit the most, the longer the war lasted, the more weapons they sold. Not to mention like the news I read, the Ukrainian battlefield is also a place for great powers to test new weapons as well as flaunt their strength to sell more weapons.

I hope there will be a miracle, a country can come out to end the war, the war not only hurts the people of the two countries but also affects the whole world.
Arms dealers are the most obvious beneficiaries from wars but they are not really the ones that earn the most, after a war at a country a great deal of effort is needed to get it back to its previous level of development, and for that money is needed, however that money comes with conditions which benefits whoever is lending that money, so bankers and investors will earn the most out of this after the war is over, and I hope the war is over as soon as possible so the people from Ukraine can start to rebuild their lives.

You have a point there, I forgot after the war, Ukraine will need a lot of money to rebuild the country, and that will be an opportunity for the banks, which will even make more money than contractors selling weapons. Because it takes decades for a country to recover economically after a war.

We all expect the war to end soon, but that won't happen anytime soon, as it seems the major powers have yet to reach an agreement on the division of profits. The war has entered its second year, and I doubt it will end this year, it will be a multi-year war.
