Pakistan is relatively new team, and now they are at 18 matches losing streak but still done good job for last two matches first against South Africa and now against Bangladesh as in these both matches they were near to win but sadly due to lack of experience and bad technique fail both time hopefully these ladies will have their good lessons from these defeats and now try to change things in future.
But, England is losing third match in a row a big shocking upset for cricket fans in England as they were one of favourite teams but sadly lose all matches against West Indies and now South Africa mean they are at decline and have not enough preparation for this mega event now these ladies have very few chances because these need 4 out of 4 for having any chance and these ladies have chances against Pakistan, Bangladesh but tough games against India and New Zealand.
I think we all can agree that we could expect something like that from the Pakistan women's team but not from England. And Pakistan obviously did get close to winning in some matches. Like the match against Bangladesh which was a very winnable match for Pakistan but they just started throwing in my opinion. A little bit more experience could help them win the match. But, the England women's team is another story because there were the hot favorites along with Australia to win the women's world cup but the performance that they are showing right now is just not good enough and at the moment they are on the verge of being eliminated from the world cup. |

If UFC fires Russian fighters, EFC league, that belongs to Khabib Nurmagomedov will sign them with open hands. I think Dana White understands that and dont want to lose that piece of his industry. I am pretty much sure that Khabib can offer them good salary, as I think he can get support from his UAE friends.
That's exactly why Dana White is not banning Russian fighters. He knows very well that if he bans them and Eagle Fighting Championship will sign them,  The Eagle FC is going to be really big because these Russian fighters make up a lot of the revenues that are generated in the UFC. And then Dana White is going to have a potential opponent to think about in my opinion. I am quite sure that Khabib Nurmagomedov has the ability to afford the fighters a lot of money. Eagle FC will need more sponsors to pay for bigger fighters. The ones they can afford recently are the ones that are actaully out of the game. It is however acceptable for the Russian MMA fighters to fight under Eagle than having no fights at all if they are all banned because of the politics in sports today. FIFA and UEFA suspend Russian teams, it's not a pretty story but I wouldn't scratch out the possibility that it will also happen in any sports if this war prolongs. I think the UFC is surely going to get pressured by certain parties to ban the Russian fighters. UFC must be in a big dilemma right now. If they ban Russian fighters, they lose the support of the Russian people and some great fighters also. If they don't Ban the Russian fighters, Ukrainian supporters will be lost by them. I think it's time for them to be a bad ASS and not ban the Russian fighters. That's exactly why Dana White is not banning Russian fighters. He knows very well that if he bans them and Eagle Fighting Championship will sign them, -snip Eagle FC is an alternative choice for the popular stage if Russian fighters have been banned from the UFC, Eagle FC will be even more jarring when many former Russian fighters will grace the Eagle FC octagon facing off against the EFC champions fighters. I actually cannot agree with you because I think Eagle FC will not be ""jarring"" if the Russian fighters do decide to go to Eagle FC. But I agree that Eagle FC will always be the second option for them because no one pays like the UFC. |

On the other hand, Manchester United is not performing consistently and they did win their last match against Tottenham Hotspur but the match was absolutely carried by Cristiano Ronaldo on his back. He scored a hat trick and those were the only three goals that Manchester United scored.
Therefore, Manchester United style of the play rests on Ronaldo, but not in all of these matches supplying Ronaldo with passes for execution. In the match against Tottenham Hotspur alone Ronaldo had a lot of passes. In the quarter-finals, which will be contested later, Ronaldo will continue to be lowered from round 1 because he will be the ideal determinant. While Atletico Madrid already knows such a strategy. It is possible that the match against Atletico Madrid will be quite difficult for Ronaldo to move freely. Manchester United still has Cavani, Pogba, and Rashford. In the Manchester United versus Atletico Madrid match someone else has to score other than Ronaldo. Because after the last match of Manchester United I am sure that Atletico Madrid will not let Ronaldo move freely and someone will always be guarding him. Now what I am afraid of is that I know Manchester United does have a lot of players who can score and that was not the case for a long time now. snip
Yes, it is quite difficult to make predictions in this confrontation because the situation changes with every round of the championship, every game, and if before that I would still give some advantage to Atletico Madrid, then winning against Tottenham should clearly give the players and coaching staff of Manchester United more confidence and strength. In any case, I think that Manchester United in the second leg will try to seize the initiative from the first minutes and own it throughout the match, at least due to the fact that the match will be held at its home stadium. But how it will turn out and how the players of Atletico Madrid will react to it is another question. Atletico Madrid has been showing good performance in recent times. I think they are going to be quite confident going into the match against Manchester United. Meanwhile Manchester United is winning but the problem is Ronaldo is hard carrying the team on his own. And against Atletico Madrid, he will be watched closely and defenders are going to close him down so he does not get too much space. I think in that match Ronaldo might need to be the one making the space and the other attackers will need to finish the job. |

snip “Contrary to fiat currencies other widely available investment assets and even gold, Bitcoin’s value cannot be negatively impacted by the issuance of new coins. This constitutes a solid base and makes Bitcoin an interesting asset in a context of higher inflation.” Is it true that bitcoin is not affected by the altcoins? I am thinking it would have been better if only bitciin is existing as it will have more value, though bitcoin can not be compared to altcoins in many ways as it is the first and the giant. It seems normal to think so. It seems that if there was no Altcoin, all users and investors would use Bitcoin and this would help increase the price of Bitcoin. But you have only seen the current form of Bitcoin, not the previous form. People have always used Ripples in the banking sector, i.e. XRP has attracted a lot of attention in the banking sector. in the same way, ETH, NEO, BCH, and other altcoin have created a lot of attention and attracted people to Cryptocurrency. Overall, Altcoin has played a major role in the adoption of cryptocurrency. So, you can't throw them at all. |

Damn, the holy shit! No exchange is going to be used in peace nowadays. why it banned USA!! isn't it a USA-based exchange service!!  Looks like it boosted my work a bit, here I trade but I do not understand why it banned the USA for no reason! BTW thanks man for sharing this, I have to move funds from this shitty exchange as soon as possible, I don't know if they have increased the withdrawal fee or not. Last time Bilaxy did the same thing and increased the withdrawal fees as well. |

I hope it will be like that but if you look at their game in the first leg which I think is quite monotonous this could be something boring again.
United will definitely take the initiative in controlling the ball again but in retrospect they have to be really focused in the early minutes because Atletico always press and get goals in the early minutes of the game.
The track records of Man United and Atlético Madrid are quite different and their performances also often experience ups and downs. especially if you look back, Manchester United have fallen more than Atletico Madrid. But don't know in the future if they compete. As much as possible it will be something different, Ronaldo also does not want to continue to slump to see his club lag far behind other teams. Teamwork in the match against Atletico Madrid made Manchester United have to think twice about not including Maguire on the pitch. Expensive pay, but very poor quality for such a high price so not worth it. Atletico Madrid actually seems to be playing really well in recent times. They have won 4 out of their last five matches. And the other one was the draw against Manchester United. So, I think Atletico Madrid is in a good run of form right now and they should be able to beat Manchester United. On the other hand, Manchester United is not performing consistently and they did win their last match against Tottenham Hotspur but the match was absolutely carried by Cristiano Ronaldo on his back. He scored a hat trick and those were the only three goals that Manchester United scored. |

After a great defense against Barcelona, Galatasaray must be in a better condition now. They can believe in themselves more to eliminate Barcelona too. Because even though there was a huge quality difference, Galatasaray still kept the score as 0-0 until the final moment in Camp Nou. But still, I remember the matchup between Barcelona and Napoli also. Napoli did the same in Camp Nou but Barcelona destroyed them by 4-2 in Italy. And Napoli are a much stronger team than Galatasaray. If we take this into account, Galatasaray could experience really bad things in the rematch.
We can see from the scoreboard that Galatasaray is not good in its own league. On the other hand, Barcelona beat Napoli 4-2 on the road as you said. Since Napoli, which is in the championship race in the Italian league, is helpless against Barcelona, it is not difficult to predict that the match will be very difficult for Galatasaray. Galatasaray's only chance for the rematch may be to score a goal with counter-attack football and make a good defense. Yes you are right for the most part but think about it from another perspective: how often does Galatasaray have the chance to play against Barcelona, beat Barcelona and make it into the next round, and all of that could be happening in a home game in their own stadium in front of their own fans? I don't even know whether that ever happened before. They might have met in a group stage game in the Champions League, but this is pretty much a once in a lifetime chance. If Galatasaray can take away a tie from Camp Nou, I would argue that they are definitely able to cause Barcelona some serious pain in Istanbul. It is going to be a really, really tough game for Barcelona. I don't know, Barcelona did also draw in the first leg against Napoli in their home match (Camp Nou). And in the second lead, they beat Napoli by 4-2. After the first leg, I also thought that Barcelona might not have any chance against Napoli but they proved me wrong. So, I think even though it will be a hard match for Barcelona they are going to win the second leg against Galatasaray. |

werder bremen will have 3 more showdowns. they still have to go to Darmstadt. then also to hamburg to st.pauli . at home then against Nuremberg and then bremen must go to gelsenkirchen . and that will be a real showdown on Schalke ! for all other people here in the thread: here is a page with the remaining games of the 2. bundesliga. there everyone can calculate a little bit which points will be given to the upper teams. https://www.restprogramm.com/restprogramm/liga/Zweite_Liga/ True, that is a 6 points game between Bremen and Schalke. I would agree with you that that game is probably going to be a decider. If Bremen takes that one home, the game might be pretty much over for Schalke. Anyway, for now both Nürnberg and Schalke brought themselves into position to still make it. Hamburg has a last chance I would say with the game to come. I guess they are going to win that one against Aue as it is also a home game. If they lose that one I don't see how they could still make it to rank 3 at least. If you look at the stats I think we will see that Darmstadt is the team who is in the best position because they have a really good goal difference. But, I think surely that is going to change in the future because I really see Werder Bremen playing consistently. So, in the future, if I am not wrong they will do better. But it's obviously hard to predict anything because you know, there is no difference in points at all between the top three teams. |

Anyway, at least Atlético will be safe in the top 4 this season and also, Barcelona do look better even though both of them are trying hard this season to get back to their best. Both of them also have bigger targets to pursue in European events, but as I said before that even though they have big targets in European events they are now safe for UCL tickets next season.
They have DNAs of winners and it is good for La Liga if they can play on behalf of La Liga in Champions League. Other clubs can have surprising successful season and take a ticket to Champions League but in most cases, they fail in the next season. It's bad for La Liga in general in competition with other leagues. Real Madrid, Sevilla, Barcelona and Athletico Madrid have DNAs of success. In my opinion, if they don't have dramatic fall in quality, they are best for La Liga as representatives in Champions League. By the way, Barcelona today will play at home against Osasuna and I don't think it will be an easy match either, because Osasuna is currently in the middle of the table which will certainly provide a strong resistance to force Barcelona to make greater efforts to get full points.
The season is coming the that last 1/4 that is important for all clubs. If the honey moon of Xavi and Barcelona is over, it will be terrible for them because they must have best performance until final day of season to have a position in either third or fourth position. Osasuna will be a first club that must be beaten by Barcelona to head towards this target. I think Barcelona will be able to beat Osasuna in their next match. Now, what the problem for Barcelona is they will have to concentrate in the league and also in the Europa League as well. Yes I know, it would be kinda little problematic for Barcelona. But I still believe that Barcelona will be able to do this with their current squad. They will be able to win the Europa League and also place themselves in the top 3 La Liga. |

Arsenal doesn't have any excuse not to finish in the top 4 position ahead of Manchester united and Tottenham. So far it seems they're easily doing that especially as they're comfortably winning 2-0 against Leicester City. Leicester City are playing an unproductive style of play in which they have all the possession but can't do anything in the frontline.
It's the 75th minutes and excluding the ball possession, arsenal seems to have this game under control. They're ahead in regards to chance created/attempt at goal. Arsenal are taking their chances unlike Leicester city. Leicester city could probably get a goal but that doesn't mean they're stealing any point form Arsenal. I think Arsenal is a favorite to win this match because they have succeeded in improving their performance. 2-0 is a good score to win 3 points, but after the first goal, it seems that Arsenal also have difficulty scoring the second goal if the penalty does not exist. In addition, this match is almost over and I'm sure Leicester will not be able to score today. The 4th position will be safe for them from Manchester United. Wow, Arsenal had a good outing in their last match. In my opinion, they have dominated the match even though from the statistics it does not seem to be clear. But, I would really like them to work on their accuracy. I would really like to see the shots being on target a lot more. Other than the aggressive nature of their game is good in my opinion. |

I see the top four teams in Serie A still have a chance to win the Scudetto. But I see AC Milan have a better chance of getting it. The rest of the matches they have relatively easy opponents, in contrast to Inter Milan and Juventus, they will still meet each other and also leave a pretty tough opponent. Juventus coach Massimo Allegri has stated that Juventus does not have too much hope this season to win the Scudetto, but Juventus will continue to try to win every game to put pressure on the team above it and if the top three teams are careless then Juventus will be able to reduce the gap and the Scudetto opportunities are increasingly open.
The top three teams in the points table are battling to win the title, and Juventus are battling to qualify for the Champions League. So the road of the first three teams and the road of Juventus is not one. Juventus can now only tighten their position at the table. And the coach should try to solve the internal problems of the team. This will further improve their performance next season and help them fight for the title. I lean towards saying that Juventus Turin is still not 100% out of the race for the championship title. I know it is not the most realistic scenario, but if they could continue a winning streak of another 5 or 6 games, I can imagine that they would be very close to the top. They have less pressure now from below them. Atalanta failed, Roma failed. It would really be fun to see Juventus chase the top 3 and get engaged in the fight for the 1st rank eventually. Juventus is definitely one of the winners this weekend. Schalke is only four points behind the top three in the league and they can certainly catch up with them if they keep winning and don't drop any points. It will be really interesting to see which team is in the top 3 drops point first. But I have to say that we are all talking about Darmstadt and Werder Bremen but I really don't see St Pauli dropping points either. |

We watched a match between the first and last team in the standings today. PSG hosted Bordeaux and destroyed them by a result like 3-0. Neymar and Mbappe both scored in this game but Messi didn't make any contribution to the team by a goal or an assist. He hasn't scored any goal for four weeks in the Ligue 1. This is still not the Messi we want to see. He is far away from his times at Barcelona this season. I understood in his first times here as he was trying to adapt to the team. But he is Messi and he should have started being better than this already.
PSG played very well in the match against Bordeaux and they fielded almost all of their main players, I think that makes a lot of sense with a 3-0 win. no one understands about Messi when he was still at PSG, it's really much different when he was at Barcelona, if you look at his teammates, I don't think there is anything wrong with other PSG players who have almost the same quality as Messi's friends at Barcelona, maybe I see he didn't play with all his heart at PSG so that made his performance very bad. PSG played really well in their last Ligue-1 match as they should but I really expected goals from Messi. I really think that Messi is not going to perform like he did in Barcelona anymore and it really hurts me to say this. But we all know that these winds does not mean anything because they should have done far better in the Champions League. |

Derbies are usually played on Sunday but due to European competition fixture this was on Monday. Still home team want to postpone the match. We will see what happen, right now no postponement decision made. Normally Beşiktaş is favorite but there are a lot of controversy around this derby. It's still early to talk about that. I also think that Besiktas is the favorite in this match. And about Galatasaray, I think the last five matches were D-L-W-W-D. so, I don't think it was that bad, to be honest. But obviously one can argue that it's not up to the mark and they should set a high standard in the field. It's not the worst performance of them but they can certainly do better. |

The Poland vs Russia match has been officially cancelled, in the past Poland took the decision not to play in Russia, but now Poland has taken a new decision they are boycotting playing with Russia, last week FIFA has also expelled Russia from the football federation, to replace Russia's replacement, it's really not maybe, because it would violate FIFA laws, other countries did not agree with the decision, taking another country to face Poland in the world cup play offs..
Really pathetic decision from FIFA, if you ask me. Russia was one of the strongest out of the teams that finished second in the initial phase of the qualifying tournament. They were just one place behind the first placed Croatia. Now the question is who will replace Russia. Ideally that slot should be awarded to Slovakia, as they finished third in the group (same points, i.e 14 with Slovenia, but better goal difference). But then, teams like Albania and Romania (18 and 17 points in their groups respectively) will oppose that decision. Well if anything I was actually really said that the ""Putin said, either Russia plays in the world cup or there will be no World Cup"" is actually not true. I really wanted to see Russia in the World Cup. Really, disappointed by the decision of FIFA. Now I think FIFA will make another dumb decision by replacing Russia with the team that does not deserve the spot.  |

Even currently cricket is spreading and having some good popularity, but this format is not going to have some good share from this all because now it's having good base in only very few countries, so ICC need to do some good change in policies and try to give more chance for other countries to play more T20 and ODI instead of test cricket which give them some good chance for gaining profit and new skill players for these formats instead of this test which is now surely not going to help them in any case. Bangladesh does have a their own T20 franchise league and it will help in developing new players just like the IPL and many countries are starting their version of T20 franchise league and it will help in identifying new talents. I read here all debate about these few teams and their test states I am feeling currently test matches are having not good enough profitable for many countries because now life is much faster and peoples have no enough time for watching entertainment like this just because of this now we have some good gape between few countries recently introduction of leagues have some good chance. But, it's not giving any advantage to test matches and domestic structure for all formats which is also big concern if Bangladesh or other small boards want to improve their test teams then they need to work in long term like have some good investment in local teams for 3 days or 4 days matches which give players some good technique and experience but strong and quality system is very important because without this you can't do anything positive. Actually, in cricket, it really needs a big change and we all know that the domestic setup is all around test cricket. But, in my opinion, that should really change otherwise people are not going to be interested in domestic cricket at all. and a lot of the newer countries will also not be able to progress well. Because we all know test cricket needs a lot more skill than the other two formats. It also takes a hell of a lot more time. And the other two formats just seem too good at the moment. Test cricket is obviously very important for every team but it's not something that is too attractive for the fans. And also it is quite tiring for the players. |

There is an interesting development in cricket as Mankading' no longer 'unfair play' as MCC makes massive changes to laws of cricket. I think it was necessary because cricket is now getting very fast and there are times when one or two runs are very crucial. MCC also recommeded permanent ban on use of saliva on ball. " The new Laws will not permit the use of saliva on the ball, which also removes any grey areas of fielders eating sugary sweets to alter their saliva to apply to the ball. Using saliva will be treated the same way as any other unfair methods of changing the condition of the ball," the statement from MCC read." Its upto ICC to accept these new laws from MCC or not. Normally ICC accepts MCC amendments without any protest. It seems now, ICC is going to agree with these rules. Because they generally don't reject the suggestions that are given by the MCC. But, I think The saliva rule for the bowlers are going to be a little too much because they already don't have much of an advantage these days. Cricket is just becoming a batsman game as Days go by. |

Hey guys theres a news article stating that ebay might be accepting Bitcoin and other cryptos, if this happens then I believe itll be a game changer for the crypto world. Not sure how credible the article is , has anyone else heard anything similar. Also there was mention of an announcement on march 10 to confirm this. If positive, We could see a new high even in these times uncertainty .
It would be really nice to use Bitcoin as an online payment. But people's ignorance about Bitcoin has made this process very complicated. Most online platforms do not accept Bitcoin only because of the volatility of Bitcoin, sometimes Bitcoin is not accepted as an online payment due to brokerage problems. I think Giant e-commerce sites may feel interested to accept crypto payments if bitcoin adoption increases further. |

Russia is considering shutting down the internet connection to the rest of the globe. What will occur? Is the hash rate decreasing? What will happen if the connection is re-established in a few years?
I can't see anything here except another Bitcoin fork. Russia has 15 to 20% miners at most, if they separate with their running nodes, it will impact their own economy, because the world will never follow the minority chain, the chain that the majority of people will use will remain stable. Another thing I heard is that Russia is looking for an alternative to the US dollar, they are hurting themselves by these activities, seems, they are not at all worried about their economy or the future of their people. |

Seeming decline in the price of Bitcoin is becoming a cause for alarm, because investors and intending ones will be skeptical, preferring to wait to see if there will be a balance.
-snip-
No economy in the world has ever had a one-way street, and every financial service has to go through two stages, upward and downward. After a long hold, everyone fixes profits at a time when the market becomes a little volatile while traders & miners fix profits and people start panic selling which eventually leads to a bear market. However, in every case the bear market is not stable for long, hopefully soon Bitcoin will regain its former rhythm. |
