Regarding long-term players, I think Erik ten Hag will do this in the summer transfer market, considering that today the winter transfer market has officially closed. Both manchester united and barcelona have shown epic performances this season and there is no doubt that the meeting between the two in the Europa League has been eagerly awaited by many football lovers around the world.
Manchester United are now looking to strengthen their squad. And they are ready to spend big to strengthen the squad. Ten Hag's main goal now is to foster bonding between players and bring stability to the team's match strategy. The match between Barcelona and Manchester United might be very competitive. Now both teams are playing very well. Their coach Xavi and Ten Hag are doing their best to strengthen their team. It is difficult to say which team will win. |

Now, thanks to PSG they have a team that could potentially win the UCL, not saying they will, but that's what they are aiming at at least. This is why it's not that much fun to watch the league when PSG wins nor when they lose, it's both quite boring to see in the end.
You are right. PSG has a strong squad. And there are plenty of star players in the squad. But even then PSG's overall performance is not good due to poor tactics. Match strategy plays a very important role to win the Champions League title. Moreover, PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 has decreased. PSG is just three points clear of second-placed Lens in the table. If PSG loses a match, Lens may be able to take the top spot in the table. I am happy that PSG's dominance has diminished. Ligue 1 is getting competitive. |

after officially getting juranovavic, laidouni and roussillon, union berlin still wanted isco but unfortunately he failed to pass union berlin medical test thus making his recruitment to union berlin fail. A good game seems to be shown again by Union Berlin. that's good, now the standings for the top 6 are at least very competitive. and if this can go on until near the end of the season. we will be really surprised to see the Bundesliga champions. are they the same, or is it from an old player who will lift the trophy?
Munich had struggled to get back to their game before the break at the end of last year. and now they should be able to keep their game.
well, i'm really surprised to see how competitive the Bundesliga is this season, Union Berlin, which had fallen to 5th place, but has bounced back and only has 1 point difference with Bayern at this time. bayern is still struggling, this moment is a good opportunity for union berlin to shift Bayern again. It's not surprising because Union Berlin continues to get its wins, while Bayern Munich often get draws in previous matches. But indeed this is much better because the Bundesliga will be more competitive seeing competition between teams and not only being dominated by 1 club like Bayern Munich. After being at the top of the table for a long time, Union Berlin suddenly lost the truck. And they lost the top spot in the table by dropping points in several matches. Now though, Union Berlin's performance is stable. Even so, I would say winning the title is not possible with such an erratic performance against Bayern Munich. I think in a few days Union Berlin will lose the truck again and drop back in the points table. However, the performances of Leipzig, Dortmund and Freiburg are quite good. If Bayern Munich drops a few more points they will not be able to stay at the top of the table. |

Amir Hadžiahmetović has finally signed with Beşiktaş. The transfer fee to be paid was too much for me. I hope he will be successful. Şenol Güneş wanted this transfer very much. It's a very long contract. Of course, such transfers have risks, but if successful, it will take the team for many years. There were a lot of names in the midfield, but it was weak in terms of quality. This transfer can be a full point transfer. What matters is what the player will give on the field. Will they play alongside Gedson, which is a question. Maybe Gedson can play more offensive side.
Besiktas' performance at the start of this season has been poor. They lost points in several consecutive matches. Now slowly they have solved their problems and are now able to create a stable match strategy. At the moment Besiktas aims to strengthen their squad and compete for the title next season. Besiktas are spending a lot of money to strengthen their squad. Hopefully Besiktas' performances will be stronger next season with the addition of Amir Hadžiahmetović and Gedson Carvalho Fernandes. |

~ I saw the frustration on the face of Christophe Galtier, he needs to be careful when they meet Bayern Munich on February 14. His job depends more on the club's Champions League performance. I wouldn't agree more. PSG results in Ligue 1 are normal but quite frustrating since Lens and Marseille are close to them. Losing Ligue 1 title might end his carrier with the team and I am almost sure he will not continue with them next year if he lose in Champions League games against Bayern. The ridiculous point is that both teams are wasting victories vs easier teams in their domestic league... PSG will likely fire Galtier if they fail to win the Ligue 1 title. However, PSG's main target is the Champions League. If PSG is able to play well by playing champions, then maybe PSG will keep Galtier as coach. And they will try to make the party stronger. Even if PSG can't play well in Ligue 1, they have the potential to play well in Champions League. Because their opponents Bayern Munich are not in good form. They have drawn in the last three matches. So if PSG's three attacking players can play well then they can win against Bayern Munich. |

After successfully wining the T20WC it seems the English side doesn't want to do the same for ODIWC. This teams performance in ODI has been going from bad to worst. I understand that South Africa has the home advantage but after scoring 342 runs if the English bowlers are not able to defend this total then their is a big problem that needs to be looked into.
It was unbelievable to me that England would lose this match after setting a big target of 342 runs. After watching England's innings, I assumed that England will win this match. But at the end of the match I was quite surprised to see the result. Except for Olly Stone and Sam Curran, every bowler in England scored a lot of runs. We expected a better performance from an experienced team like England. Although the batsmen have performed their duties well, the bowlers need to improve their performance. Yes match surprised me too. South Africa played really well. Temba has made century and made 109 runs for 102 balls. England bowling was bad in this match or we can say that South Africa was looking strong both are correct statements. We can see Adil Rashid gave 72 runs on 60 balls and out two players of South Africa. The target was really good but South Africa chased it in 49.1 overs and gave 5 wickets. That was a great match. From the beginning of the innings, the South African batsmen batted responsibly. The pitch was completely batting friendly. So the South African players don't have to face much trouble to score runs. Especially Temba Bavuma and Dawid Miller's innings made the road to victory easier for the two South African teams. Also, there is no way to say that any of the team's batsmen performed poorly. Every batsman tried his best to perform well. And every batsman has a role to play in the team's victory. If every player in the team is able to perform well, even if the target is big, victory can be achieved. Mostly Bavuma will withstand wicket and then only thinks of scoring. In ODI he used to maintain good average score. In the second ODI he had a marvelous innings scoring 109 runs. The strike rate isn't that high, but the contribution helped the following players have their natural game than pressurising to score runs. When there is contribution from every player, automatically they were able to chase any big target. If the openers start the innings well then it becomes easier for the team to collect big. And middle order batsmen can bat without pressure. But if the opener is not able to start well, it is difficult for the team to collect big. England set a huge target of 343. Two South African openers have collected 140 runs. They have performed quite well. This made it easy for South Africa to win the match. If the opening pair plays well, it becomes easier to win big targets. |

And what others have thought: https://twitter.com/OfficialNBARefs/status/1619815874583752704The referees themselves admitted that they have make a big blunder on that last play, a drive by Lebron which they didn't call any foul. On the other hand, they call a foul + 1 on the other side prior to the call to make the score tie. And James is really mad after that but he can't do anything but to continue to play but eventually they have lost the game. And this game is closed to rigging and cheating by the referees, in my opinion. There's the ref on that side of view on that image and I don't believe what they say. In those crucial moments, they have to review if it's a foul or not, right? But they didn't call it out since it's their home team that's in danger of just losing the game with just 1 free throw to get in made by James. There should really be a call out on that incident and more sanctions and punishments for those referees that neglected their duty. Yes, I certainly agree! They said it themselves, "Like everyone else, referees make mistakes". But the question is, are they getting some penalties or some sort of punishment because of the move they did? I guess not and for that, they should evolve for a much better referee so that every game is somehow fair and just. By the looks of it, it sure looks like the refs made a bet on the Celtics side and the reason why they cheated or rigged the game. Just a thought. Regardless of them having placed any type of bet on a certain team, I think they should be punished so that the referees are going to be very careful in the next match. But at the same time, I believe there should be an inquiry to actually find out if the referee actually did rig the game. Because these types of mistakes generally do not happen in my opinion. But that is also true that they are also human and to err is human. But they have to remember there is a lot of money on the line from these matches. |

Neither team could score a goal in today's match between Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad. However, the players of both teams played great from the beginning to the end of the game. Real Madrid did not score a goal in this match. However, Real Madrid made 20 shots at the goal post. But could not score any goals. Real Sociedad's goalkeeper gave a very good safety in the match, the game was really great between the two teams.
Real Madrid players played very well. They attacked a lot throughout the match. But still they could not score any goals. And the match was a draw. Real Sociedad's goal in this match was to share the points. Real Sociedad was successful. Sociedad didn't try to attack too much. They had only 3 on target shots in the entire match. But the performance of Real Sociedad's defenders impressed me. Real Madrid dropped points in this match, widening their points gap with Barcelona. They are now 5 points behind Barcelona. Closing this point gap will not be easy for Madrid. Xavi may be able to win the La Liga title for the first time. |

The 29th Match of Bangladesh Premier League started today at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Sylhet. Dhaka Dominators vs Rangpur Riders these two teams entered the field to play. Rangpur Riders won the toss and decided to bowl. Dhaka Dominators scored 27 runs in 4 overs. .But Dhaka Dominators lost two strong wickets. Azmatullah Omarzai of Rangpur Riders is bowling very well. He bowled 2 overs and took 2 wickets with 15 runs.
Dhaka Dominators lost 2 more wickets to lose a total of four wickets. And the Dhaka team faced a lot of pressure as the 4 batsmen who got out did not score a good run for the team. And Dhaka collected 97 runs in 16 overs which is very easy for Rangpur to win. Rangpur has been performing well since the past. If Dhaka could have scored 200 runs from 185 then there would have been a chance of winning with Rangpur. Meanwhile, Rangpur's bowling performance is very good, today's victory is very likely for Rangpur. Dhaka has been able to give a target of 145 runs. I think this is a good enough collection to cover Dhaka. Looking at Dhaka's batting, I thought that Dhaka will give a low target today. Their batting was good enough in the last few overs. Usman Ghani scored 73 runs off 55 balls. He batted wonderfully. Rangpur lost opener Naeem at the start of their innings. Rangpur lost the first wicket collecting only 5 runs in 1.3 overs. Mohammad Naeem faced 5 balls and failed to collect any runs. |

An equalizer by Reims at the Parc des Princes denies PSG a victory. Despite having all three stars, this PSG team looks like medicare. At the moment, PSG is struggling. When did they last win a big one? Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe played together to secure a draw against Reims. For PSG, Neymar scored, and for Reims, Balogun scored.
This draw does not change the position of PSG, who are still at the top of the standings with 48 points. Meanwhile, Reims is in 11th place with 26 points. Despite playing at home to the opponent, Reims actually put up a fierce resistance to the hosts. I think by playing with 10 PSG players they will fail to get full points Despite losing points in this match, PSG's position has not changed. They are at the top of the table. However, their points gap with Lens would have narrowed if Lens had won their last match. I would say PSG are lucky that Lens drew their last match. Otherwise, they would have been difficult for PSG at the top of the table. The last few matches have made it clear that PSG's overall condition is not good. This party is very weak in terms of parties. Coach Galtier is unable to take proper steps to stabilize the team. If this situation continues, PSG will not be able to win against Bayern Munich in the next round of the Champions League. |

If this will happen, offered Jerami Grant his maximum four year, $112 million extension...Thave offered Jerami Grant his maximum four year, $112 million extension but the versatile forward is yet to accept the deal, reports Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer. Grant became eligible for the deal earlier this month. Do you think he is deserving of this huge contract? or will help accept it or decline it? I think he does deserve it. I am a big follower of Jerami Grant since his Nuggets years. That's when I saw how good he is specially combined with Jokic with a passing ability. He can always score deep on the paint as long as the passer can see him. He may not be the normal forward who can fill the stats in rebounds but his scoring ability is one of the consistent ones in the Trail Blazers. Plus, he can also shoot threes which help to spread the floor more. Grant is averaging 21 PPG, I think that's good enough to be called as a consistent player, and with that huge contract, I'm sure he will not say no. He'll surely stay with the Blazers and help Lillard in the playoffs. This team has more room for improvement, Grant is quite new to the system, it's his first season with this team, so let's give them more time to create their chemistry, and that way they'll be able to win more games. He is averaging 21 per game. That is certainly really good. Above average I would say. Now if the question is, is he actually worthy of the big contract that he is offered? I would say yes. We know almost everything is costly now. The price of everything went up because of the recent inflation. So it is not going to be easy to get a player who is averaging 21 points per game for anything less than that. And I do not also see any reason for the player to not agree with this deal. Because this is certainly a good amount of money. |

T20 captain Hardik Pandya has already announced that Shubman Gill will open in today's match. But who will open with him is not sure yet. A few have been included in today's match. Jitesh Sharma, Mukesh Kumar, Prithibi Shaw Among these three, Mukesh Kumar is mainly bowling, among these two people, Jitesh Sharma and Prithvi Shaw, will anyone get a chance to open?
Mukesh Kumar performed exceptionally well in the domestic circuit, but I don't know whether he will be given a chance as long as Rohit-Virat-Hardick combination remains in control of team selection. There is no dearth of talent in pace bowling for India at this point. But getting the selection to playing XI is a tough task, given the fact that the senior players have a strong preference for certain players. And the indications are that Ishan Kishan may open the batting along with Shubman Gill. Prithvi Shaw may not be a part of the XI for today's match. As long as the senior and experienced players are in good form, no new players will be given a place in the squad. Indian management has always given more priority to experience. We have seen that Virat Kohli was with the Indian squad in the World Cup despite Deerg not being in good form for a few years. Mukesh Kumar is probably a good bowler. But still, the performance of the bowlers in the Indian squad is better. If a bowler is injured or out of form for a long time then maybe Mukesh Kumar will be able to cement his place in the Indian squad. |

Lens is a team that I never expected to see higher than tenth in the League One table, but Lens is doing everything they can to qualify for the Champions League next season, and I am confident that if they have consistency, they can compete with PSG because the points difference is so small.
You are right. Lens was a team for whom being in the top 5 of the points table was a huge achievement for them. And this team is fighting for the title this season. They are consistently performing well and are second in the table. And the important thing is that they are only 3 points behind PSG. Their defenders have been outstanding this season. Lens conceded 13 goals in 19 matches. Due to such performances from the defenders, the Lens team has been able to continue fighting for the title. The only advantage that keeps Lens consistent is, they don't have a tight schedule. unlike, Marseille, PSG, and other teams who have matches in different competitions. Lens only focuses on the Ligue 1 competition, so because of that they have been able to maintain their consistency so far. but anyway, Lens's achievements so far deserve our appreciation. It's just that, Lens' progress until the end of this season will not run smoothly. the reason is, Lens has tough matches in the following weeks including leaving one more meeting with PSG, Marseille and other fairly strong teams. meaning, Lens could slip at any moment even against a weaker team. I'm even quite optimistic, if Marseille has the potential to shift the ranking occupied by Lens for now. The reason is, Ligue 1 still leaves 19 matches remaining until the end of this season. well, let's just see if Lens is able to run smoothly until the end of this season. or they will drop in ranking if they get a series of defeats in future matches. PSG's main goal is to win the Champions League title or perform well in the Champions League. I think Ligue 1 is PSG's second priority. On the other hand, Lens' main and only goal is to perform well in Ligue 1. And so they have been able to maintain consistency. Since their only goal is Ligue 1. So they don't need to change their match strategy. And the performance is stable. The lens is performing well now. But we are not sure if they can maintain the consistency till the end of the season. However, if PSG wants to stay in the safe zone and win the title, they will definitely need to improve their performance and get full points in the upcoming matches. What Marseille will do is still uncertain. In fact I think the Lens and Marseille teams are of almost equal quality. So it is difficult to predict which team will top the points table. |

And what does it say on those stickers? I can't see the whole caption, but it's something along the lines of "Bitcoin can give you financial stability", which is somewhat true, but what about the other risky side that includes volatility, secure storage, crypto scams? Perhaps it would be wise to post a link in the form of a QR code that would lead to some legitimate source of information such as https://bitcoin.org/en/ with the note that this website comes translated into various languages, which should be taken into account if it supports your language. If you just let people know that Bitcoin exists, many will end up on that well-known website that promotes fake bitcoin, or they will become victims of some crypto scam, whether it's fake wallets, exchanges or doublers. yes there's the risk aspect of bitcoin that should be exposed to new comers which is very necessary, but in this case I think him giving them the idea to know that there's something called bitcoin that exist over a decade now, I believe from having the knowledge of the existence of such resource for those who then develop interest they would then be exposed to the risk that also involved. That's my thought though! I have a feeling what OP is trying to do is spread the image of bitcoin, to let people know that there is such a thing as bitcoin and it has the potential to bring financial freedom to everyone. But for people to really understand bitcoin properly, there must be lessons about it, and that will depend on how each person seizes the opportunity. If someone sees bitcoin logos and is curious to know more about them, they will search for them on the internet. We cannot convey everything about bitcoin with short messages, what we can only give them is the chance to know about bitcoin. It can say what OP did is the best possible thing. |

Please don't let my question cause so much hate on me but rather let's also be realistic at times.
Though I haven't invested a reasonable sum in Bitcoin, I've at some point after watching how the market and price of Bitcoin fell from over $60k to less than $12k something similar to what altcoins do and it prompted some questions like
1. Will Bitcoin ever fall to zero someday?
2. What happens if it ever falls to zero?
It will be if this questions are answered without sentiment as I'm open to learn.
The value of bitcoin depends on supply and demand, and with what's going on, I really don't think bitcoin will one day go to zero. The demand for bitcoin is increasing, bitcoin is attracting people because of its volatility and profitability. But if something happens to bring bitcoin to zero, I will really regret it, and we will go back to our old life without bitcoin, many people will lose their source of income, but the world will not be affected by this there. |

Australia women's cricket team is a much stronger team than Pakistan women's cricket team. Australia women cricket team proved that in ODI series. Pakistani women's cricket team is not playing well even in T20 series. Pakistan women's cricket team scored an unexpected score in the second T20 match today. Pakistan women team scored 96 runs in 20 overs. Which is a paltry score for Australia women's team
I understand that the Australian women's team is stronger than the Pakistan women's. But, Any team can win the match on their day. It was a day of batters' failure. Only Three Pakistani Batters could score double-figure runs, which was the key point for team Australia. They win the half-match here. The rest of the match wasn't hard for the Australian openers. They won the match with 8 wickets in hand and several overs left. As usual, the Pakistan Women's team was badly beaten. And I am not at all surprised by this result. The main problem of the Pakistan Women's team is their poor batting. If the batsmen were able to perform well, maybe Pakistan's overall performance would have been more stable. They gave the target only 97 runs. Australia's women's team is very strong. And against them giving such a low score target is impossible to win. Pakistan would have had a chance to win if they could have given a target of 130-140. However, Pakistan Women's team needs to work harder to improve their batting line-up. |

Ajax vs Volendam,
Maybe this is the best time to Ajax back to the win, Because when we look at 5 matches, Ajax never got it, So this is something weird for Club that as depending on the Champion. So far Volendam is a club who are in the degradation zone, but they have 2 won in the last 5 matches which I think have better than Ajax. The odds is very interesting, Volendam has 15.0, while Ajax has 1.13, and the draw is 9.2. So, if you feel Ajax still hard to win, bet to draw is a solution or a bet to Volendam is a best choice, because you will make 15x the money.
Ajax has let me down many times this season. Although I bet Ajax won several times, they drew the match and dropped the points. As a result, I lost my money. And so I am not interested in placing any more bets on Ajax matches this season. Ajax will play against Volendam in their next match. Volendam is a team in the relegation zone. Undoubtedly the Ajax team is much stronger than Volendam. However, I have no confidence in Ajax's performance. This match can also be a draw. |

Nice to see Anthony Davis back on the floor for the Lakers. Granted the Spurs aren’t a good measuring stick, but a win is a win. The new guy Hachimura had a good game and AD put up 21 & 12. Only a couple more weeks until LeBron breaks Kareem’s scoring record. It looks like maybe the Lakers might be firing on all cylinders by then as they look to secure a playoff spot in the second half of the season.
21-12 for AD which is a pretty good stat after him being gone for weeks because of that injury again. Well, I'm not saying "I hope he will not get injured again" blah blah because after all, it will not change the fact that AD is an all-star caliber player, but he's very fragile and injury prone player. Nevertheless, it's good to see him back like you said. 12 points in 21 minutes for Hachimura and a near triple double for Lebron James. 158 points to go until he surpasses Kareem. Westbrook didn't play that good tonight, but it's my first time to see Beverley scoring for 18 this season. I mean we know him as a great defender and not a scorer, but he stepped up and got the victory. Having Anthony Davis on the team is obviously great. Even in today's match, it was great for the Lakers. Anthony Davis gives the team a lot of depth that they need and his performance is obviously appreciated. Remember the game before this in which LeBron James scored 46 points? He did not have any help from the team, to be honest. So, even after he scored 46, the team was unable to win. But in this game with the help of Anthony Davis, the team has performed a lot better, as a team actually. And they got the win against Spurs. Westbrook and Beverley also cheap in with some important points. |
