last night's match in the super cup. which brought together the madrid derby between real madrid and atletico madrid actually went exciting and tight in normal time 90 minutes ended with a score of 3-3 this indicates that both teams played openly so as to produce many goals. in extra time alone atletico madrid became sluggish maybe because the goal was broken first and the time limit was also not much so it ended up being 5-3 for real madrid victory
It was one of the best Derby matches at the start of the year. Even though Atletico Madrid lost that match, I still feel they lost with great honor. Because after all, Atletico Madrid has put up very strong resistance which even kept the score level in normal time. Both teams have played very well and were very aggressive from the start. And these two teams really played like they were in a UCL match. Well, this match really wasn't boring from the start to the end. And Atletico Madrid might be able to avenge their defeat in this match in the near future. Because Atletico Madrid will face Real Madrid again in the 16th round of the Copa Del Rey. And I hope this match will be as exciting as the last match. What an exciting Derby match with plenty of goals! Ancelotti displayed excellent game reading skills and the ability to shape the game according to his strategy. Atletico Madrid, being a strong team, always provides good competition, which making the game intense and unpredictable against their opponent. These days Madrid Derby has become more interesting than the El Clasico, full of surprises and tension. It was an insane and thrilling game, and in the end, Real Madrid turned out as the better side. They played with a winning mentality and without tension throughout the match. |

According to reports,Arsenal are on the verge agreeing a loan and obligation to buy deal with Everton for the services of their star midfielder Amadou Onana.Arsenal really want to boaster their midfield option by bringing in a long term replacement for Partey and Jorginho.According to reports,Everton are in financial crisis,and would want to cash in on the player for a fee in the region of 50 million.
This would be a very nice deal for both parties of the deal materialises,with report saying that Onana loves a move to Emirate stadium,where he can play alongside Declan Rice,and Martin Odegard in midfield.
Amadou Onana is interested to join Arsenal, and negotiations might progress rapidly. While Arsenal considers signing additional midfielders this summer, the absence of a focus on acquiring a striker could hinder their competitiveness in the league. Arteta might be overlooking the need for a striker, and not addressing this in the summer would be a critical oversight. Having reliable strikers in the January transfer market is expected to be challenging. If the opportunity arises to sign Onana, it would be a great move for squad depth. Hopefully, Onana will find success at the Emirates and serve as an excellent replacement for Partey. |

Im waiting for mitrovic to face messi soon. It will be very interesting friendly match caused by we do know that how big messi was in the past and he will be playing against al hilal which was the strongest team in the SPL right now. Im thinking that the gap is too far consider intermiami was still placing at the bottom last season. Even though the MLS has not yet commenced, I have reservations about Miami's chances of making any progress. The match against al hilal can be used to measure the performance from the club. That's an interesting match to be waited soon.
I would prefer intermiami to face al nassr coz it will make ronaldo to face messi although it will be friendly match. The result from this friendly match will make everything clear regaring many people who keep debate which was better between MLS or SPL.
I hope everything will be going smoothly and al hilal will be able to destroy intermiami soon. By comparing the SPL and the MLS, it will become evident that the former is far superior, ultimately suggesting that Messi made an unfortunate mistake by joining the latter.
Im sure that al hilal will be winnin the match very soon.
Al Hilal vs Inter Miami; a match to watch as Al Hilal are currently the biggest club in the SPL since they stay up the table. I think this match is key especially to help Inter Miami develop more before the commencement of the season. Though Inter Miami might not come close to how the Saudi Club perform currently but they’re lucky to have Balon D’or winner, Messi in their team. And Mitrovic playing upfront against Messi’s team will be a delight to watch on how he performs. Comparing the SPL and MLS isn’t supposed to happen because currently the SPL proves to be better than the MLS especially with the European recruits the SPL are garnering every transfer market, Al Hil will sure win Inter Miami, Miami might have one of the greatest player in their team but football regards team work and good squad depth and when it comes to those Al-hilal are better than Inter Miami. Inter Miami is likely to face challenges as they are not considered a strong team. Their success may have been influenced by the outstanding performances of Messi and Busquets. While the Saudi Club is currently performing well, but anyways Inter Miami has gained global attention by becoming the most searched sports team on Google in 2023. The SPL is perceived as better than the MLS, though opinions may vary. Each person has a different perspective and reasons to define their preferred league. As the stage is set, and with limited time between games, fans hope the match will be televised for everyone to watch without disappointment. |

I don’t think Pochettino has the talent to solve Chelsea problems because if he were able to do that, he would have already done that. He has spent time sometimes managing the squad and has yet to see any improvement from them. Chelsea have bought so many players; they have spent a lot of money on players, and there is no improvement. However, I think for us to know how good Chelsea is, we should wait maybe and see if they will change manager, and then we may see who is at fault, whether the players or the coach. but seriously, Chelsea's form is poor. However, I think it is disappointing for them to lose that match they play, even if they had chances to win and they didn't. The result matters.
Everything requires a long process and time, it is not easy to build a team like Chelsea which has fallen so badly that changes in management and almost all the players mean that everything has to start from scratch. Pochettino is a coach who has good qualities and he has proven it when he managed several teams before managing the Chelsea team, so in my opinion we should trust Pochettino and believe in the process that Pochettino will create to make Chelsea return to what it was before. This coach has consistently underperformed, showing no desire to win and always comfortable with losses. Pochettino has failed to bring improvement to Chelsea, and the team appears to be getting worse under his management. It's evident that the current project is destined for failure under him. Chelsea needs to change its system to progress, or else they will continue to struggle. |

I don’t see any discussion here at least on the last 3 pages of this thread so I’ll begin do you’ll think the Indian management has taken a step back by bringing Kohli and Rohit in to the T20 squad because this was an excellent time to test youngsters before the upcoming T20 World Cup. Furthermore I also wonder if they both underperform in IPL will they really be dropped or they’ll be selected citing experience is needed?
I agree. Personally, I'm not comfortable with the selection, but there might be reasons behind it. The selection board is likely handled by expert professionals. BCCI's decision to bring back Kohli and Rohit for T20Is and already has faced criticism. Opting for them in T20Is seems like a step back, especially when the management could have chosen youngsters for the upcoming T20 World Cup. I believe selectors should pick the team after IPL matches. I just hope Indian cricket won't face issues due to this seemingly thoughtless selection by the Indian management. |

I think what Fabrizio has said about Mbappe is more than enough for us to say what state they are in right now. Mbappe won't be leaving PSG anytime soon or at least this January. Mbappe's camp has said that he has not decided yet and since it's already 1 week in January. If the move were to happen, we would have already heard something from Fabrizio or some other rumors. Although we have heard something about them, Fabrizio's statement makes it clear that nothing is going on between them. So, are the rumors of a move to Real Madrid over this season? I don't see Mbappe as Real Madrid's most wanted striker so far, even if Mbappe wants to go there. Real Madrid haven't tried to sign Mbappe so far and I don't see them making him an offer, but the rumors will persist until Mbappe is no longer in PSG uniform. Apart from Real Madrid, I think Kylian Mbappe also has the potential to join one of the Premier League teams. Of course we don't know where we will play, but what is clear is that PSG will not let Mbappe go without profit. If possible, I would like to see Mbappe at Arsenal if he really wants to move to the Premier League. Whether that will happen or not we just have to wait to see how this develops because when we look at the rumours and news that are happening now it is actually very confusing and we know that even though there are some reports about some clubs such as Madrid or Liverpool who are said to be in communication with Mbappe but I think this is where we have to be wise and not get carried away with the cheap traffic created by some media because whether Mbappe goes or not everything will be answered when the time comes, it's just that for now we still have to wait and be smart to find news whose sources can be trusted. Until now I still hold Fabrizio's words because of his track record which can be trusted in reference to what he has reported and in his tweets until now Mbappe still does not discuss his future and I am quite confident in that. Exactly most of the pages are filled with baseless and useless information. Finally I've come across some sensible words, and normally I'll reserve my judgment until Mbappe officially statement to any future deal. I believe most of stories are fake unless confirmed by reliable sources like Fabrizio. Mbappe hasn't made a decision about his future yet, and the highly anticipated transfer to Spain is still pending......... |

The atmosphere is quite positive right before the possible approval of the Bitcoin spot ETF. However, would there be panic selling if the ETF doesn't get approved? Either way, nothing seems to be affecting BTC much. I've been holding for a while, so might as well keep holding despite all the negative chatter.
BTC is consolidating; there's no significant drop. I believe that when everyone loses hope and gives up, that's when it will go up.

It was a very easy fixture for Manchester United. It was obvious they were going to win that game. I predicted a win and under 4.5 goals in that game because I have noticed Manchester United finds it difficult to convert chances and Wigan was never going to come like an underdog.
On a better day Manchester United would have scored more than 5 goals but I think yesterday wasn’t the day. They missed a lot of chances and dominated the whole game with a high possession. Clubs like Manchester City and Tottenham would have scored more than 5 goals yesterday. Even in the second half, Manchester United were less convincing. Much of the urgency and purpose evaporated from their play. Still, though, they could have extended their lead with better finishing, but failed.
They did really struggle converting chances as they had a whopping 33 shots taken and 14 of them were on target. They managed to score only 2 out of those 14. Some may say you got lucky and other say it's a calculated risk. Anyways, congrats on the win. Manchester United play Tottenham Hotspurs at Old Trafford next. Spurs are still struggling defensively with all the injuries in their team and them not having any primary center back in their team. They have surprisingly done okay without a CB so far but against better teams, that could be exposed. Should be a good match regardless. All stats clearly showing Manchester United was much superior side, and they deserve good and big win but sadly due to their inconsistency and poor strategy they fail to score more goals and have won with the score of 0–2 against Wigan with one goal was scored on penalty by Fernandes with these stats and result it's clearly showing they need more improvement if they want to have better results in coming matches otherwise they can go down and things can go from bad to worse for them in last 10 games they have just 3 wins with 1 draw and 6 loses mean they are down and out with have some time to bring themselves back into better shape. Next few matches are going to be tough for them with Tottenham at home Wolves away and West Ham at home these will give all how their season is going to be ended with can they produce another good end or misery will be going, and they have to go for more changes in coming season for the better result. Man United confirmed a win, but it was against a weak team, Wigan. Wigan's performance was poor. Even though Manchester United won 2-0, celebrating against such a team doesn't make much sense to me. I wish all Man United players showed the passion and spirit displayed by Fernandes. While I love to see Man United win, at the same time they need more confident and clinical performance to excel in this competition. To be honest the end is approaching in this cup for Man United if there's no improvement. I believe next time, Man United will score more goals. The next match is against Tottenham, so United needs to ensure they score first, and defend well. |

Today, the 3rd T20I match between India Women vs Australia Women, would be the exciting one. We all know that Australia is strong team and most of the time they afford to defeat india but in 1st T20 match, India Women just created history by defeating Australia, won by 9 wickets. Although in 2nd T20 Australia Women applied their best effort and so they won what makes T20 2 of 3 (Tied 1-1). Actually ODI and T20 Are different format which effects a team performance. Australia won the ODI series but in T20, It seems Australia need to give more effort to win today cause india also sounds strong and dedicated for victory today. Just some hours left to start up This match is very important for both team Australia women and india women. In 1st T20 Australia women won match by 6 wickets and in 2nd t20 India women won match by 9 wickets outstanding batting performance in second T20. India women is favourite to win this match if they set a good total in batting first and if they bowling first then restricted Australia women inder 120 or 130 runs target then they have good chances to win match and won this series. The three-match T20I series is currently tied at 1-1, with one more game to go. Decider will start just after an hour. Fact is Australia's women's team has been exceptional, dominating India in the ODI series. I predict that Australia will likely secure a convincing win over India in the upcoming third T20I. However, it's important to note that India shouldn't easily relinquish their chances and must make the most of their home advantage. |

I don't know if you can say that Juventus were lucky that Salernitana got a red card and only after that Juventus could score two goals... But Salernitana played well in the first half... Although bookmakers gave odds for Juventus to win 3.4 after the first goal... So there were still expectations that Juventus would win this match...
But this Juventus team is really solid in defense. This Juventus team is doing really well, not losing any of their last 15 games in all competitions. They came back to win against Salernitana with a 2-1 scoreline in the last minute. Yes that last-minute goal is significant, with Dušan Vlahović scoring the crucial and winning goals for Juventus. |

This season is a tough one, we can see already more than three teams competing closely for the title. Kelvin De Bruyne’s return is definitely a huge boost for Manchester City who haven’t been at their very best level since his injury. With or without KDB, Manchester City were going to win over Huddersfield anyway so bringing KDB on was just to increase the torture and dominance.
Kevin De Bruyne had not played a match for 5 months, if you are taking a long break after being injured, returning with such a simple match is a very good option. He was back on the field without tiring himself, and they took as little risk as possible. I hope the effects of your injury end soon. There are already news about De Bruyne's transfer, maybe he can become a star in a team like Al Nassr if he doesn't get injured.  Man City crushed Huddersfield with a score of 5-0 and in this match, Man City really dominated the game. From the start, it was predicted that Man City would get an easy win because they were playing at home and Man City is at a level far above Huddersfield. One interesting thing is that we can see De Bryune returning to the field after the long injury he suffered. Even though he didn't play the full game, he managed to make an assist. The game was completely one-sided. Manchester City players performed exceptionally well, especially Foden. Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku returned from injury and City scored five goals against Huddersfield in the FA Cup! It's a comprehensive win for Manchester City, as expected. Of course, it's good to see KDB back in action. More good things to come! |

Now it's still not clear to see and everyone is still waiting for "Here we go" from Fabrizio Romano and I think that also makes perfect sense considering that only he can be used as a benchmark for a successful transfer. But let's just see, if Santi Aouna's report is corroborated by Fabrizio Romano, we will definitely see the results this summer.
Tweets from Fabrizio Romano from the Mbappe camp. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1744329362239889795So until now there has not been any agreement about his future, this also includes Real Madrid, meaning that the possibility of happening is likely NOT, I think Mbappe will not think about this now because he will focus more on PSG now, it's just that the news is raised by several journalists who are still confusing. I will just wait until the summer, if only Mbappe extends the contract then the drama with Real Madrid is over. There's another twist in the Kylian Mbappé transfer saga. Now, he's free to talk to any team without informing his current club. If he believes it's the right time to make the move, he doesn't need to wait. This guy has been playing with us for a long time. The drama should be over. |

Preston tried and held on till first half which ended goalless unfortunately fell in the second half as the team couldn't hold on as they conceded four goal in the second half Chelsea, no doubt is the better side having dominated the match with 70% possession and 12 shots on target against the championship side, remember FA Cup is usually synonymous with upset I believe Chelsea was a bit cautious not to concede against Preston they are frustrated in the first half, though you are worried about Chelsea sluggish style of play but I believe that would change with time because Pochettino hasn't gotten a real first eleven squad yet and once the team clicks they would be unstoppable.
In the first half, Chelsea were not very persistent and indeed this result was not surprising because in terms of quality Chelsea were much better and they deserved to win with a convincing score. I think what happened in the first half is not a significant problem because what is needed is the final result and Chelsea won as predicted, there were no surprises in this match. Preston who only plays in the Championship or under the Premier League, it is clear that Preston does not have good quality. What's more, at this moment Preston is also only in the middle in the Championship table and thus, it is certainly a natural result if in the match againts Chelsea the fact that Preston also did not manage to make a good resistance. Because after all, the fact is that Chelsea dominated this match and also, even though at half time the result was a 0-0 draw but ya, that Chelsea still had very good statistics also at half time. Therefore, in the second half Chelsea can maximize the opportunities it gets and convert them into goals and ya, at least this victory can boost the team's morale to get good results also in the Premier League. Chelsea displayed their usual struggles in the first half, but the second half was brilliant! They scored four goals against Preston. Sterling delivered a stellar performance, seemingly under some ethereal influence, while Enzo Fernandez, Thiago Silva, and Levi Colwill elevated their game to orgasmic levels. Overall, a great game. Three wins in a row – Chelsea is at their best, grinning with a massive victory. While they can't fully assess their form against Preston, Chelsea takes the positives and aims to build a winning mentality moving forward. |

AC Milan is playing a solid game against Empoli and what would add 3 important points to their account. They would finally have a good streak without defeat again.
Milan is on the lead with 2-0 in the first half with an early goal scored by Ruben Lottus on the 11th minutes after he got an assist from Raphael Leao. What a great finish from Lottus. The second goal was scored by Giroud with a PK and he stylishly net the post on the 31st minutes of the game, to put Milan in a better position of winning the game. Milan took control of the first half by gaining possession and also scoring two goals to show that they are ready to get 3 points from today's game. The second half will tell if Empoli will be able to equalize the goals or conceive more goals by their visitors. I believe that Milan will win this match from the look of things in the first half because I don't think that Empoli will be able to resist their pressure in the second half. The second half has being quite interesting and finally Milan were able to score their last goal to seal up their victory on the 87th minutes of the game. It was a brilliant strike from Traore to fnd the back of the net after Milan has an opportunity to counter Empoli and it was two against one. This is the first goal for Traore has scored in Seria A and the second goal in all competitions. Milan victory has made them four points close to Juventus. It was a wonderful victory for Milan and if the can continue in this form they might still be able to be on the second position if Juventus take their games for granted. A comfortable 3-0 win over Empoli. Congrats to 19-year-old Traore for scoring his first Serie A goal. This is their first away win in Serie A in 3 months. Despite injuries, Pioli stabilized the squad. He deserves a lot of credit. As of late, Pioli has Milan back on the right track. But consistency is Pioli's major problem, and it's what's holding him back. Let's see if the team keeps doing well, especially in the next two tough matches against Atalanta in Coppa Italia and Roma in the league. |

This is not something new, Pakistan team is always having a whitewash at Australia. They are not able to manage pressure when playing at Australia. See they have good advantage in first innings but were not able to capitalise that advantage in second innings. Babar Azam who is backbone of Pakistan batting was not able to score even a fifty in his six innings, his highest score was 41. Players like Babar Azam need some break they are over hyped.
Today was the last day of cricket where we saw David Warner in international cricket and in his last match, he hit a half-century, and now the best duo of Test has been finished of Usman Khawaja and David Warner and before this series when David Warner announced his retirement form the International cricket so he was cried to say that because as you all know from how much years he played cricket and what thing that he didn't do for Australia. When he was out in today's match so all the people who present in the ground was stood and clap for him. The good thing for David Warner is that he was able to win the last test match for his team and it is always good for such big players to get retirement on the winning side of the match. This match will always remain memorable to David Warner. This chapter of his book is finally done. He was one of the best opening batsmen I've seen, providing a lot of thrills and excitement over his long career. In this journey, David Warner and Usman Khawaja have come a long way together! An awesome partnership and friendship between David Warner and Usman Khawaja. And gratefully, they walked out to bat together for the final time. It's also a great way to finish, Davey, retiring on the winning side of the match. From me personally, congratulations on achieving so much in your career, Dave. |

Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid men are leading the way so far. Despite all the injuries, Carlo and his players are doing a great job. Hopefully, they will lead until the end. I'm not surprised by Real Madrid's position because we are used to and they are always the best. Anyway the most impressive team this La Liga season is one and only Girona. They are cooking this season. Real Madrid is level on points with Girona. I fear it can go either way. while, Barcelona has already had a bad form, and they're busy just lessening their point gap.

Even now there are still several matches taking place. But I'm just waiting for the results of the Newcastle vs Sunderland match. Currently the score is still 0-0 and the match has entered the 32nd minute. I think Newcastle are really having problems in their attack. Because even though they have mastered this game from the start, in fact they haven't been able to score a single goal until now. Sunderland they really struggled to get out of pressure. And even they don't have much of a chance. Newcastle should be able to win this match easily. I hope there are at least 2 goals in this match. But it seems Newcastle will not be that productive. Because until now the score is still 0-0.
FT: Sunderland 0-3 Newcastle Job done. Newcastle United claimed victory over Sunderland. I expected a tougher game, to be honest. The better team won, and I have no complaints. Sunderland players just did not turn up. Newcastle looked more like their old selves. Let's hope the bad spell is over, and we can kick on and start climbing the table again following today's win. |

I keep asking Juventus board to give Massimiliano Allegri more time, things will run smoothly in Turin in couples months, he's a genius and have good credits when it comes to managing the team. I'm now starting to enjoy Juventus matches because they've been able to tighten their stellar performance to become consistent and not volatile as previous. Juventus humiliates Sportiva Salernitana with 6-1 and eliminated them from Coppa Italia competition. Juventus will face Sportiva Salernitana again this weekend, we expects the previous scores and poor performance from Salernitana not to repeat itself.
Juventus cruised past Salernitana in the Coppa Italia, finally scoring more than 2 goals. They're gradually finding their way back to the top under Allegri's management. I love Allegri's style of play. They are still playing against Salernitana on the weekend in Serie A, and we expect the same dominance from Juventus. I hope this team continues to progress, succeed, and maintain these positive results. If Juventus keeps playing like that, I won't be surprised if they win the trophy this season. |

Australia Women vs India Women
T20I Series First Match
So here everyone know that hoe Australian Women team played in ODI series. Australia won the ODI series with 3-0.
So today the T20I series is starting and Australia Women team is sill looking strong. By the way we can't say anything at this time. Maybe India can perform well. Because there is much different between ODI format and T20I format. So let's hope that India will surprise us.
Today's match will be Australia women team vs India women team, I think Australia team strong in this game because Australia women team won three ODI matches. Both batting line and bowling line of Australia team are strong enough to attack India women team. The pace of fast bowling in Australia women's team is immense, which puts a lot of pressure on the Indian batsmen. As the game of cricket is uncertain, but there is confidence that Australia women's team has a high chance of winning today. Today the first T20 match between Australia Women and India Women is going to be held. India Women won the toss and elected to bowl. Australia Women and India Women have participated in 30 head-to-head matches in which Australia won 23 matches and India Women won only 7 matches. Australia Women are likely to win today's match as they defeated India Women by 3-0 in the ODI match. However, the game will be held shortly. Different format, different approach. Hopefully, India won't repeat a 3-0 defeat like in the ODI series. With 4 wickets already down, let's hope India will take down the rest of the wickets early to restrict Australia to a low total. The performance of the men's team in the Cape Town test might inspire the India Women's team. I believe India is the favorite team to win this match. |

Pakistan's weak points remain in the batting and fielding. I don't know how they don't fail to surprise me every time. Just when I think that they are doing okay, they mess it up. They looked very good in the first innings although some wickets came very quickly and then Rizwan, Salman, and Jamal got the hold of the batting.
Pakistan is very much dependent on Babar Azam and now Rizwan. Either of these two needs to bat well for Pakistan to get good runs. If they do not then the batting order crumbles, this is an ongoing issue but PCB is least bothered. They looked good because Rizwan batted well and Jamal suddenly came into the limelight as a batter. I was reading a few articles about Jamal and found that he is an all-rounder. If that is true then why is he batting in a lower order, you guys might know whether this information of him being an all-rounder is true or not. If the information is correct then he should bat on the position where Sajid Khan is batting currently. An individual can't win test matches. The team needs contributions from everyone, but unfortunately, Pakistan seems overly dependent on players like Babar Azam and now Rizwan. Jamal is getting attention as he is an all-rounder. With their efforts, reaching 150+ is possible, but it's not certain that Aussies will collapse like Pakistan did. There's still a chance for Pakistan, anything can happen, but historically, Pakistan has not faced a situation like this before. Unless the 17th consecutive defeat might be on the cards. |
