Without a doubt City were favourites and so they did win the match. But the thing is that City are far ahead of United if we compare their level. I think its United who haven't been able to keep up lately since Ferguson left. I think over the years they are way of making targets in the transfer window has become poor and they have been unable to make a strong squad. They have been making too many poor choices spending some big amount of money.
I won't blame much on ten Haag but yeah United player has to do more if they have to win derby against City.
Manchester United's midfield simply did not have the ability to dominate the match and especially for Bruno Fernandez he played much worse compared to some of the other players. Erik Ten Hak too often rotates players in their actual positions and until now there doesn't seem to be a specific strategy that the coach can rely on. This match showed how different Manchester United's second class is and Pep Guardiola completely left Erik Ten Hak helpless against his strategy. Erik Ten Hak must be blamed for Derby's defeat this time because if we look at them they were completely unable to match Manchester City at home. If the coach doesn't have a good strategy when facing a much stronger team, then the match will end like what happened last night and the coach will be the one to blame. The players of Manchester United display a lack of speed, physicality, and energy, making them prone to losing possession too easily. Some of these players might not be the right fit for a team like United. Bruno Fernandes is a surprising choice as captain. Players like Fernandes, Antony, and Martial might not make it into a top-tier squad. United is quite far from reaching the level of City. They conceded three goals without a response. Ten Hag appears to lack effective tactics for big games. |

PSG will play vs Brest today which suffered negative results in the latest matches. Mbappe, Ramos and Hakimi are included in the starting eleven, I expect them to win.
Mbappe brought victory to PSG in the last minute scoring a goal so that the score was 2 - 3 for PSG's victory, playing at home Brest performed very well and they played as hard as possible not to lose points but unfortunately PSG played better than them, PSG also had difficulties to score in the second half but Mbappe managed to score a goal in the last minute and got the full three points today occupying second place in the current standings. Brest has to admit the greatness of PSG even though at the beginning I was still a little doubtful about betting on PSG but I was sure that betting on PSG would risk losing money but the fact is that PSG managed to get a win against Brest, a match that was quite tough made me a little frustrated but at least they managed to win it . PSG almost drew and Mbappe scored the decisive goal in the final minute to make the score final 3-2 for their victory over Brest. Three points will put them in second place in the standings below Nice at the top. In terms of ball control, Enrique' squad had a slight lead and recorded 10 shots on target, PSG dominated in the first half and failed to maintain their lead in the second half. It must be admitted that Mbappe is the savior and I don't imagine him leaving in January. Brest, playing at home, put up a strong and tough fight, and the match was evenly balanced until the 88th minute. However, two goals from Mbappé gave his side the ultimate advantage, and they earned all three points. Mbappé is the savior for PSG, especially when facing strong opponents like Brest. He's the only remaining star at PSG, and the management knows how important he is. If he leaves the club, PSG could face significant problems. So, the club has already made every possible attempt to convince him to stay, but we'll have to see what happens in the upcoming days. |

-snip- However, all England's bowlers performed well. A target of 230 runs is a low target that can only be defended if the Indian bowlers manage to get all the England players out. At this time 6 overs have been played and the England team has scored 33 runs for the loss of two players which is definitely a good sign for India. England bowled beautifully to the Indian batters. It seems that they have a plan against the Indian top order. Rohit Sharma was exceptional in his inning. Initially, the target of 230 looked below par even at a two-paced wicket, but Indian bowlers started building pressure on English batters from bowl one. England is 81/6 in 23.1 overs, and they are looking for a miracle. I am of the opinion that this game is almost over for England; from now on, they will only be consuming deliveries and time. Of course they can win this match from England's current position but India's win is more likely than England's win in this match. In the wicket are Liam Livingston and Chris Woakes, these two are very important for England as England have already lost 6 wickets so if this wicket pair can't form a good partnership then it is impossible for England to win this match. India scored 219 runs in the first innings so initially I thought that a team like England would easily chase down the target of 230 runs and win. England's dream of this World Cup is over but if they fail to finish this World Cup tournament in the bottom eight of the points table, they will not have the opportunity to play the Champions Trophy. England has already lost 8 wickets, and there's no hope for them in today's match. Their batting has been senseless and unwise. It's clear that England has lost their way in this competition. Their performance in this World Cup is quite disappointing for world cricket. The way they are playing makes it seem like a newly established associate nation is on the field, now their appearance in the Champions Trophy quite challenging. Meanwhile, the Indian bowling unit appears stronger than their batting. They've put in the effort, and it's paying off. |

Without a doubt, Barcelona dominated the first half and had little time in the second half they dominated. the game velocity changed when Modric was introduced in the match to play for Real Madrid. That feature of Modric performance alone scattered Barcelona's playing pattern. And it changes the atmosphere of the match for Real Madrid to make a comeback and win through Bellingham. I never believed that the Real Madrid team could later end up winning over Barcelona due to how they started in the first half Barcelona failed to maintain their victory, in my opinion this is quite natural considering that several of their players are still injured. Losing Pedri and De Jong in midfield disrupted the stability of their game, of course Real Madrid managed to take advantage of this, especially in the second half. Barcelona played well in the first half, but I regretted several substitutions which ultimately disrupted the rhythm of their game. Joao Cancelo played well, as did Joao Felix. Gavi and Fermin are also good, but when some of these players are replaced they are completely different. Romeu made several mistakes which ultimately disrupted Barcelona's defense, but this was a valuable lesson for Xavi and he should not repeat it in another match. Sometimes you have to keep the same players throughout the match instead of taking them out, which is what Pep Guardiola did in the Champions League in order to maintain the same rhythm of play. Barcelona actually didn't play too badly, it's just that they couldn't maintain their composure until the end of the match and they were unlucky because they didn't have a good finishing touch in this match. I think Barcelona played more dominantly in the first half, but this condition changed when Real Madrid played more aggressively in the second half (especially after Camavinga entered the field) and this disrupted Barcelona's rhythm. It was clear that when the match entered the final minutes, Barcelona seemed to lose their concentration, and their defense line often made mistakes. Enjoy the match until the final whistle. That's football for you; today it's your turn, tomorrow it's someone else's. Despite the dramatic turn of the game, i've to say that Barcelona didn't play too poorly. Madrid completed a 2-1 comeback victory against their fierce rivals, giving Barcelona their first loss of the season as well as in El Clásico. Bellingham is a true talent. Even with less influence on the game, he delivers when it really matters. |

What we've all been waiting for has started now, and that's the El clasico match which always has a hot atmosphere when these two teams meet.
Real Madrid are the visitors in this match, they also have a pretty good record when competing at Barcelona headquarters. But every El clasico match will always be different from season to season. Especially now that both teams have different strengths and have changed from last season.
Who will win this match? Well that's a tough question to answer and it's one that will be answered once the game is over.
Let's see.
A poor defense from Alaba has given Gundogan the opportunity to break the deadlock on the 6 minutes of the game and this has made Barcelona to take the lead in the match. What a brilliant start for Xavi and his men in the match. Vinicius Jnr is making everything possible to see that the early goal is equalized but I don't think that is will be so soon as Barcelona are playing at home and have that as an advantage in this match. But I know that Real Madrid don't believe in home advantage. Barca 1-0 Real Madrid. Barcelona had a great start to El Clásico. It's called El Clásico for a reason. Real Madrid won't make this match easy for Barca, that's for sure. Let's see who will score the equalizer for Real Madrid. Gündoğan is a big-game player; he always scores in critical matches. That goal was fantastic. Barcelona is in top form despite absent of key players. |

BAN vs Netherland
Today, watching the game of Bangladesh, I feel like I am watching the cricket game of small children of a local area. Bangladesh should withdraw its sanction to play cricket. Ludoo gaming is much better than watching such a bad performance of Bangladesh team.
Bangladesh 76/6
Bangladesh can take maximum 100 runs. Bangladesh could not meet this small target. It is better not to support such a team.
Netherlands are doing really well! Bangladesh has been performing poorly in this World Cup so far. Even after playing international cricket for over two decades, their performance is not up to the mark. They should learn from the Dutch. The Dutch team is doing great! They qualified for a reason. It looks like Netherlands will win this match, while Bangladesh seems to be heading for another loss. |

This should be Chelsea's worst performance ever. With their recent form, one would have expected them to take the three points at Stamford Bridge. I never expected Brentford to won this very match. After winning Brighton, Fulham, Burnley and securing a draw with Arsenal, one would have expected them to easily win Brentford at home.
This season really look so bad and unpredictable for the Blues. Both the fans and players might be disappointed at the outcome of this match. I guess its bookies weekend once again.
It was Arsenal's poor performance last week that seemed to boost Chelsea's confidence. Chelsea had been on a four-game unbeaten streak but then lost to Brentford. This is the third season in a row that Brentford has beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. It seems like Stamford Bridge has become a place where any team can come in and find success. |

Juventus have the best chance of winning the league title this season followed by Inter Milan and AC Milan. Those who follow Juventus matches regularly will understand the changes in Juventus. Juventus have been able to change themselves a lot since last season. With the way AC Milan and Inter Milan are currently performing, it will not be surprising if Juventus move to the number one position in the points table in the next match. If Juventus can win the title this season, it won't be bad at all. Juventus have got full points in three of the last five matches, they have lost one point and they have gained one point in one match. I hope they will have 100 percent victory in the next five matches
Juventus certainly doesn`t have the cup commitments that drain so much energy and resources so they can easily concentrate only on the Italian championship, but honestly I don`t think they have a team that will allow them to win the scudetto. Inter remains the best candidate to win the Scudetto. Yes, it is! As Juventus is not participating in the Champions League or Europa League this year, they have more time to prepare their Serie A team. Just having a more defined timetable, in my opinion, does not, however, ensure a Scudetto. Inter has proven remarkably consistent, despite their obligations in Europe. Furthermore, keep in mind that Juventus is only two points behind Inter. Although the race is close, my preference is for Inter to win because of their strength and form right now. Although they have more time on their side, does Juventus have a strong enough squad? We'll see in time. Inter Milan has moved to the top of the Serie A standings. But Simone Inzaghi's team lost the top position just before the international break after a 2-2 draw against Bologna. For now, Inter leads the table with 22 points, just one ahead of AC Milan, while Juventus is only two points behind Inter. The gap in points is quite narrow, and they could lose their position at any time. Looks like winning the Scudetto in 2023 won't be easy, because the competition is going to be very tough. Simone Inzaghi's team has been in good form so far, but any missteps could cost them as their competitors are ready to take advantage. To secure the Scudetto team needs to perform consistently as a strong and cohesive unit. |

Unlike you, I'm not sure at all about Enrique being successful in PSG. In fact, PSG had many superstar players in the last season they could help the team like Messi but they didn't have a good coach like Enrique in his team, Now when some players left PSG for the other teams, Enrique started working there but still I don't think if Enrique is enough to help PSG improve the team.
I think PSG still can't earn achievements in the Champions League.
But at least we have to give Luis Enrique chance to prove that he can advance to the next round. if PSG can qualify, maybe there is a slight chance of reaching the final, even though they will still lose because it too early for PSG to get the title in Champions League, but if about the title in League 1, PSG has a chance it is still very big to lead in first place in points table at the end of the season, even if you only rely on Mbappe, PSG performance seems to be quite strong and we remember the past when Messi was still at the club, the failure in champions league still the same as the previous problem, namely because it has not deserves the champions league trophy. I think it is important to give Luis Enrique a chance. Getting the UCL in their first year has been hard for many leaders, even the best ones. So, calling into question his abilities this early on is a bit unfair. The odds are better for PSG in Ligue 1, though. I saw that they are only two points behind Monaco. They should still be able to win the title if they beat Brest, which I think they will. Even though they have failed in the UCL before with a star-studded team, let's not give up on them too quickly. This might be best handled with patience. I, like everyone, really want Luis Enrique to do well with PSG. PSG has been having a tough time finding their best form this season, and there are a few reasons for that. Enrique should remember that PSG is not Barcelona, where it's all about Tiki-Taka style of play. To change things for the better, they needs to make some adjustments. They should work on their defense. Right now, they're giving away too many opportunities to the opponents, and they need to be strong both in defense and attack. They slowly but surely, they can become a strong team in the UCL and Ligue 1. |

It is quite difficult to predict Tottenham's potential for this season honestly. They have indeed found just the manager they need. Ange Postecoglou's system has been working like clockwork so far. Maybe they are the leader for now but we never know if they can maintain this level in the long run. In addition their performance in big games will also be decider.
Becoming champions of the Premier League is not easy, especially for Tottenham, even though they are now at the top of the standings, what Tottenham need to do is reflect on the events that Arsenal experienced last season. We saw that at that time it was not much different from Tottenham. However, the competition until the finish of the Premier League will drain the players' energy. The plus point is that Tottenham does not have a busy schedule like Man City, Man United, Arsenal and Newcastle in the UCL. It's just that Tottenham shouldn't be happy yet, this is a challenge. The remaining 29 matches are clearly still wide open for big clubs who are in top condition. I wonder how far Ange Postecoglou puts Tottenham in his first season. Ange Postecoglou is making history at Spurs! He's brought a new energy to Tottenham, and they're doing really well in the Premier League. Spurs are leading the league with 23 points, and they haven't lost a game yet. It looks like Tottenham has a good chance of winning the Premier League this season. They're on a winning streak, and they should continue it. This is actually their best start to a Premier League season and their best start to a league campaign since 1960 when they won the league. So, it wouldn't be a surprise if Tottenham repeat their history and wins the league again. |

In today's match of Pakistan vs South Africa team, Pakistan team has given a target of 270 runs in 46.4 overs. Pakistan team has gone all out today for the poor performance of Pakistan team batsmen. Babar Azam has been out for 50 runs in 65 balls. Mohammad Rizwan has been out for 31 runs in 27 balls. The bowlers of the South Africa team had a really good performance. Tabraiz Shamsi took 4 wickets with 60 runs in 10 overs. Marco Jansen took 3 wickets with 43 runs in 9 overs.
South Africa needs 271 runs to win and get closer to confirm their place in the semi-finals. South African bowlers performed really well today, but they should work on reducing the number of wide deliveries they bowl. Scoring 270 runs is a decent achievement for Pakistan, especially considering they were 110/4 at one point. Now, it all depends on how well the Pakistani bowlers can perform. South Africa hasn't been great at chasing targets, so this match will be a real test of their ability to chase down a total. |

It's just a thought.
In the world of trading, people can only buy, sell, or wait. The key is to have a strategy that gives you an advantage, a strategy that, on average, leads to gains. Markets have their own way of behaving, and that's not something you can change. So, you have to work within these limitations or choose not to participate. Simple. I've been trading within these constraints for the past 6 years. Like everyone, I've had my fair share of wins and losses. Ultimately, you need to find strategies that let you sleep at night, especially in a market that never sleeps.

What a win!
Sri Lanka won by 8 wickets. Points table could have been even better if they hadn't lost to Pakistan. Yet Sri Lanka has a better chance of staying in the competition for the semifinals.
Sri Lanka played exceptionally well against the defending champions, England. This loss is England's fourth in this tournament, which places them in 9th position.
England is now out of the World Cup. Quite a surprise!!!!

I believe there's significant market manipulation happening right now. It looks like that the approval of a BTC spot ETF is driving a frenzy of buying, although the price isn't surging dramatically. Once the ETF gets the green light, we can expect billions of real money to enter BTC. The current activity might be more about moving funds from altcoins to Bitcoin. The total market cap isn't skyrocketing, so if this is new investment, it's quite substantial. This kind of behavior is common in the crypto market, and it doesn't surprise me.

Australia had a shaky start to the World Cup. In the first stage of the World Cup, it seemed that Australia would not make it to the second round. As people began to speculate, Australia slowly began to return to form. Australia is now fourth in the points table with +1.142 points despite being far down the points table. Australia secured their second round berth by beating Netherlands by 309 runs in Australia's crucial match yesterday. With that, the Netherlands went to the bottom of the points table.
No one expected Netherlands to qualify for the semi-finals, but they improved a lot by not only qualifying for the World Cup, but by defeating big teams like South Africa comfortably which is awesome. Also, Australia will definitely qualify for the semi-finals as usual, but I am not expecting them to win the cup this time due to their over-dependence on certain players. Australia confirmed a record breaking 309-run victory against the Netherlands. Following this win top 4 for the Semi Finals has confirmed for Australia, as seen on the table. Top 4 teams rightfully deserve their spots in the semi-finals, where they will provide tough competition. India, New Zealand, and South Africa appear to have the best chance to clinch the title. |

It was a good evening for Manchester City. They won 3-1 against Young Boys and their 1 goal was canceled by VAR. The goal scored by Young Boys was really good. It was a great lob goal from Ederson. The Young Boys goalkeeper prevented the match from ending with a higher goal. He saved many positions, he was on a good day today.
Congratulations to Manchester city for the massive goals they achieved to embraced the victory from Young Boys , because many people thought that what happened to Manchester city in the premier league match that made wolves and Arsenal to defeated them will still happen in this UEFA champions league match but they prove them wrong. Young Boys really surprised me in this match, they hold Manchester city players tight in the starting before Manchester city struggle to scored one goal in the first half to reduced their strength, and begin to have access to their goalpost in the second half to defeated them 1-3. Erling Haaland would have score more than three goals from this match but Young Boys goalkeeper is a talented keeper and he really saved many balls that would have made the match to end up above three goals. Manchester City has achieved three wins in three games in their Champions League group. While Man City might not be at their best in Premier League matches, they seem well-prepared and organized in the Champions League matches. The team needs to capitalize on their opportunities more. With continued improvement, they could score even more goals in the second half of the season. It's great to see Haaland becoming more involved in the team's play; this will make him even more lethal in front of the goal. Young Boys played impressively, but City did well in the end with no injuries and secured three points. |

I'm moved, especially for Maguire and Onana. Unexpectedly, two players who often make their fans' hearts flutter and always receive harsh criticism, could become heroes in this match, and from this we can see that they have a winning mentality.
In the past, I always laughed at Maguire because he always made blunders, but seeing his extraordinary mentality, slowly he was able to play well again, I started to respect him. Slowly but surely Andre Onana and Harry Maguire have begun to show that they are truly great football players and do not deserve to be ridiculed by many people. I think these two players have regained their confidence. Of course this victory maintains Man United's hopes of progressing to the next round. Maguire scored, and Andre Onana made a great save, that's the reality. It's like a story of someone who was overlooked but overnight becoming really important. Maguire said he would work hard to keep his spot, and he's doing just that, even with all the criticism. Don't be affected by the negative comments rather stay focused, and you'll surprise them soon. If he comes back even stronger, he'll be one of the strongest in the world. Also, instead of hyping up too much, let's wait until Man United faces a strong opponent before we get too excited. |

Al-Nassr played today in the Asian Champions League, there is no doubt that they will definitely be the favorites to win because they play at home and have a better squad, Al-Nassr has recorded 2 wins and today they will complete it with their 3rd win or become group winner. This season the teams from the Saudi Pro League dominate in almost all groups Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr became the leaders of the group I can't imagine if 2 of these clubs managed to go to the final  By the way Al-Nassr managed to score the first goal in the 23 minute through Talisca and this is the 4th goal in the Asian Champions League, I have bet on Al-Nassr -3/4 in the first half but I need one more goal for full win. And in the end Al-Nassr was able to win the match again in the AFC Champions League. But in the second half everything became more tense. Because 6 goals from both teams came in the second half. The final score was 4-3 with victory of course for Al-Nassr. In this match CR7 scored 2 goals. And I'm happy that Mane also scored a goal in this match. Talisca seems like this player is always not behind in scoring goals. It's rare for an Al-Nassr match to pass without a goal from Talisca. Arab clubs really performed extraordinary in the AFC Champions League. But this is quite natural because the squad depth of the Arab teams is the best at the moment. Al Duhail put up a strong fight but lost. A 4-3 match is quite a thrilling one, especially since Al Nassr was leading 3-0 for most of the game. It was an entertaining match. Ronaldo and his team won. Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals and assisted in Al Nassr's 4-3 victory, which puts them at the top of their group. Ronaldo has now scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in the AFC Champions League in 3 games. However, Al Nassr needs to work on their defense. Despite their strikers scoring many goals, it's clear that the team is conceding a lot of goals at the same time. |

I'm not surprised if everyone still expects PSG to be the title holders in this league but doesn't Monaco also deserve to be the title holders this season?
Monaco has a very stable performance and I think it is more stable than PSG even though some people believe that at the end of the season the competition will stop but I still think that Monaco could change history this season to get the title in league 1 with greater consistency.
PSG may still have Kylian Mbappe but we don't know whether this player is still making a good contribution to his club but it seems like he is not as good as before because the decline performance in the previous few matches is very clear that Mbappe is not very enthusiastic.
Monaco is leading in Ligue 1. Every team is performing at their best, making this season tough. Even the traditionally smaller teams have improved, both in terms of their players and the quality of their managers. So, having the best tactics and strategy is what wins games now. Football has become more of a mathematical challenge than just a game. PSG might not seem as special as before, but they still have Kylian Mbappe. They are facing some challenges, but it's hard to rule out the possibility of PSG winning the league this season. |

Netherlands need to score 400 runs from 300 balls to win against Australia. Another big defeat awaits in the World Cup tournament. I was watching Australia batting against Netherlands and enjoying the shots of Australian batsmen. Today, watching the match, there was no way to know whether I was watching a T20 game or an ODI game. Netherlands can score 200 to 250 runs at maximum against Australia I don't think Netherlands can do more than that for now. With Maxwell's monstrous batting, it is not surprising that Australia's first innings collection was four hundred. I think the semi-final matches will be more enjoyable than the earlier matches as either team will lose by a large margin and either team will win by a large margin.
Australia set the Netherlands a target of 400 runs. I think Australia will beat Netherlands by a huge margin in this match. Glenn Maxwell scored the fastest century in the history of the World Cup. His game looked like he was playing T20. Glenn Maxwell scored 106 runs from 44 balls and David Warner scored 104 runs from 93 balls. It is never possible for the Netherlands to win on the same mountain run top as Australia did. So Netherlands is sure to win today's match. Now Netherlands should lose by a respectable margin of runs. Team Australia takes another step towards the semi-finals. Congratulations to the Australian team for giving such a beautiful batting gift. It was an absolute carnage, and it was absolutely fantastic to watch. I've always been a fan of watching Maxwell bat, especially when he plays like he did tonight for Aussies! Every single shot he played was an absolute delight to watch. It's been a while since I've seen an innings like that. Congratulations to Max for his fastest World Cup century. As for the Netherlands, it seems highly unlikely that they'll be able to chase down the total. They've already lost two early wickets, and a big defeat is loading. |
