Indian opening slot is open for grab but Abhimanyu Eswaran is not making his case, infact he's making a habit of bottling all his chances are given to him in India A tours. He failed in Australia and similarly today got out cheaply against England Lions. He needs to score in the 2nd inning, otherwise he'll warm the bench in England tour.
Karun Nair showed his class and surprisingly Sarfaraz looked pretty comfortable in seam condition, big positive and hope this inning earn him place in the test squad.
Despite having few issues still these youngsters are doing good job this match is giving them good confidence in these conditions specially Karun Nair, Sarfraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel done good job which will surely give boost their chances. All batsmen have good batting against spinners which is also good for them in 90 overs giving just 3 wickets with having 400+ mean it's good start of their tour but still big games could be having pressure and more responsibility. After departure of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli now few are having good chance of taking early opportunity because this tour is going to be breakthrough for many because it's career changing opportunity but need some good performance with good skills and technique which will give them confidence.

Someone has to be completely out of their mind to invest more than $200k in either a pump-and-dump token or a meme coin. First of all, one doesn't even need to be so greedy when they have that much money; you can easily make good money every day by trading normal and trusted cryptocurrencies, even Bitcoin per se. There are always dumps and pumps in Bitcoin's price, with $200k, you can much if you use those little corrections and recoveries but people are too lazy to try and learn something about the market but they want to become billionaires in no time.
Meme coins are good only for experiments, and by experiments I mean $20 or hardly $50 because if you lose that money, you won't break your head by hitting the wall with it since it's not a life-changing amount. However, if someone is investing $200k in a meme coin, he either must be a billionaire or a fool.

Some people do think up this way on which they've been that believing that at the time that they would be backing up or would be stopping then they will be having those kind of feelings that they are weak or simply being a failure, this is why at the time or moment that they do face up such situations or scenarios then the would really be that still continuing despite of the tough conditions that they have instead on trying out to have some break and just call it a day. We do know that dealing up with a volatile market is never been easy and doesnt really give out guarantees that you can be able to make profitable trades anytime and thats normal. This is why it isnt really that a bad thing that you should really know on when to stop and have a break because not all analysis would really be that 100% precise and thats why you should be having at least some considerations.
Yeah, anyone could feel like a failure, even the people who are best at their job could end up feeling like that, because we could end up with those type of peoples like humans. This has to be the most important part of it and we can't really have anything to grow any other future way, we just have to see this as normal and not really that crazy at all. We can't really see this changing anytime soon, we need to realize that things will not matter that much when you are trading and everything is going terrible, we just have to make this be normal for all of us. We are not going to end up with a real reflection when we are putting ourselves down that much, don't listen to that voice, just look at the results and try to do better.

SA20 #31 (Qualifier — 1) MI Cape Town vs Paarl Royals
Joe Root has left PR to play for ODI series against India and Mitch Owen played at his place. I would call him decent replacement judging solely from his BBL final performance.
Anyway to the match — Vd Dussen and Rickelton gave great start to MICT, it was bit meh after these two got out but eventually Brevis, Linde and Potgieter brought run rate back what their opener's were managing and gave target of 200 runs.
PR had a excellent first over, 21 runs in there but then openers depart and shitshow starts, where everyone except Miller did shit all. I wonder why GT released Miller, he's quality player.
In Qualifier 1, MI Cape Town easily won as their squad is already looking one of the best with best bowling attack and their batting is also had good depth which helps them Pearl Royals choose first to bowl, but their bowlers failed to keep things under control and MI Cape Town batting play good which helps them for having target of 199. All top order batsmen done good job which gave them good foundation but at the end Delano Potgieter hits 32 runs on 17 balls which make good difference for them in reply were not able to have good start as Rabada, Boult and Bosch early breakthrough for MI Cape Town. Killer Miller have some fun, but this was not enough for them to chase this big target, and they ended with 160. Now today Eliminator is going to play between Joburg Super Kings vs Sunrisers Eastern Cape winner will be faced Pearl Royals in Qualifier 2 while MI Cape Town is already in final and waiting for competitive opponent.

Man United performed quite well in the Europa League not having a defeat only 3 times the series was quite good than other teams but still their problems in the Premier league still cannot be determined while up to here Man United has qualified enough with Spurs.
Although in the Premier League does not have a long hope while in this tournament Man United can be able to chase the trophy even though it is a bit heavy, but I think Amorin can go further in this tournament.
Now 5 matches winning streak and thumbing win against FCSB give them third spot into league table is surely big achievement for them while their performance in Premier League is still questionable due to poor finishing and worst defense. In last 7 games, they are having 5 wins and 1 lost which are encouraging sign but still it's going to be not easy for them to have any good chance for going into top ranks while their coming 2 games are also good for them both at Old Trafford first against Crystal Palace and then Leicester City. This game against FCSB surely have good impact on their moral and also will give them good motivation, but they needed to be done something serious for setting their dressing room issues which are now creating chaos specially Rashford issues is serious which needed to be fixed for good moral of team.

This is a big surprise that happened, AC Milan with its new coach can immediately win the Italian Super Cup title and even beat Inter Milan in the final match quite impressively. I did not expect AC Milan to be able to turn things around after being 2 goals behind in the first half and I thought what happened in the semifinal match against Juventus would not happen again but I was wrong, AC Milan is really extraordinary, and I think this is inseparable from the mentality instilled by their new coach. The decision of AC Milan management to change coaches has now been proven to be the right decision.
Yes, this new coach change creates a new spirit for AC Milan so that Milan's performance is much better than before. I also did not expect Milan to beat Inter Milan because we know Inter Milan is very strong this season and very difficult to beat, but it turns out that Milan's victory over Juventus is not luck but thanks to Sérgio Conceição's expertise in creating strategies. By getting this title, they will be more confident in facing other domestic matches and improving their ranking which is currently in 8th place. AC Milan current success under new coach stun everyone in Italian soccer because no one having any prediction about success like this, but they have done, and now their confidence level is also increase even though their performance in Serie A is below then average due to their poor results but now can we have another chapter of success in coming half of this season which will bring them into top ranks which is main target for them and new coach as well. Now after few days we will have their first game at home against struggling Cagliari which won their first game after six matches losing streak against Monza on road which could be also valuable for them so this match is surely going to be interesting for the soccer fans with chances of easy win for AC Milan.

The January transfer window is around the corner so I expect to be seeing different transfer speculations but considering the recent happenings at Manchester United, I think there might be some truth in this particular news Marcus Rashford have been left out of the match squad for the last two weeks and I think it's a clear indication that he's most probably not in the future plans of Manchester United so I think he's likely to exit Manchester United anytime soon. Victor Osimhen is a world class striker who's been impressive for his club Galatasaray since the start of the season so it's very possible that Manchester United would want to go for his services.
Now we have less than one week for January transfer window, and we will be having too many rumours and media reports about many players specially few players could be targeted by media and social media sites because due to this hype they could be able to have good intention of many peoples around the globe, so this is just started of this situation we have to understand few things because this is nothing new we are having things like these for years around in Europe. Ronaldo, Mbappé and now Osimhen are targeted peoples as we all know most chances we will be having Osimhen in Turkey until end of this season because of his commitments with Galatasaray, and they will never go for any transfer while they are facing many injuries and their spot is also still challengeable in Super League by their opponents but in soccer sometime we have nothing predictable until last moment as we have in summer transfer window when suddenly peoples watch Osimhen here in Super League Turkey.

Galatasaray have way too many missing players, and that could be a reason why Fenerbahce could pull it back a bit more. The more injuries Galatasaray faces, the more chances they have to get a tie, and this is why I believe we are going to end up with a team that is easy to lose points. If you consider it that way then I am sure that you are going to end up realizing Fenerbahce may still have a chance.
However, if there are no big issues then I am sure that we are not going to end up with any big deals if Galatasaray can overcome this hump and do better. I mean not all players are gone forever, in a month most of them will be back, so if they do not lose many points until then, I am sure they will do fine, but I do expect them to lose some points.

After the international break now we have start of league games tonight we will be having Bayern Munich going to entertain Augsburg on papers things are looking clearly one-sided for this game as we have Bayern Munich back into business of demolishing teams with their aggression and quality in Bundesliga currently they are leading by 5 points from the second spotted RB Leipzig which will tomorrow visit the PreZero Arena Sinsheim for facing Hoffenheim.
Currently, situation is pretty clear for title race as we have Bayern Munich at the top with Bayer Leverkusen is badly losing their grip due to last 4 draws from their 5 games Borussia Dortmund is also not stable to have any chance of going through for title race so we have alone Bayern Munich to enjoy after one poor season.

It is undeniable that Manchester United is the first place that made his name big after Sir Alex brought him to Old Trafford after a pre-season match against Sporting. But returning to Manchester United was also not a good story for him, as happened before, he even left when the atmosphere was not good. This time will join for the 3rd time? I personally say he should choose another place than Manchester United, his age is no longer possible to play at Manchester United. And also Manchester United must get fresher players. In my opinion, it's a rumor that will never come true, so just ignore it. Ronaldo will not return to Manchester United just to prove that Ten Hag is a coach who has made mistakes in his career. He didn't have a great season with Ten Hag and that can't be denied, but Ronaldo is a great player. In the SPL, Ronaldo shone and he seemed happy to be there instead of returning to Europe. From what I understand about sports, when there is a "rumour" going around, it could very well be true of course, but most of the time it's just agents telling what's going on to Fabrizio, and just testing the waters. If the comments on it is great then they consider it for real, if the comments are bad then they back out. So to give example here, they just published a rumour about Ronaldo going back to United yet again, and they wanted to test how fans would see it, in this case if fans are in favour of it then they would actually take Ronaldo to United, but if the fans are not happy about it then we could see Ronaldo staying at Saudi league. By the looks of it we are seeing them not really be happy about the potential of Ronaldo coming back and that is why I believe that this may not happen at all.

It's so heartening to see that the Indian Women's team taking their fitness and manliness so seriously. All of the ladies look gorgeous in stylish beards as well. Let's hope it will inspire young girls.  Anyway, jokes apart, it seems win the toss and opting to bat first thingy is going off today and the Indian girls are doing quite well so far, which wasn't expected considering first 2 matches outcome. WIPL is game changer here as we also had good decision by BCCI to allow women's for WBBL and W The Hundred these events needed good fitness and performance as things are going right now I am sure we will have good changes in Indian w cricket because awareness is coming, and they will be able to have good contracts and money after doing good with themselves. Today as we have toss for the New Zealand I was feeling it's going to be ending another win for them after T20i world cup and historic win against Team India in test series in India, but their batting were not helpful and Indian bowlers were also on target in this important game so we have good target and now easy win with both are already crossed 110 runs in partnership. Edit: Hannah Rowe took second wicket as Mandhana gone after completing century.

Klay having a bad game doesn't really surprise me. He has been playing for the same team since he got drafted, so it will take a while for him to get adjusted to his new team, dude changed teams at 30+ , of course he doesn't know how to play with them. Plus they are missing a crucial player as well.
I believe Klay will get better over time, while I agree this was a terrible game from him, it doesn't mean he is going to stay like this. Realistically speaking, he never had any good season starts neither, and after a few months we are going to see him be a great part of this team without a doubt. With everyone healthy, and playing together, this will not be a big deal and we are going to see them do fine eventually. This doesn't feel like something we can make a big deal out of yet, just because of one bad pre season game.

Barcola definitely looks like a star there is no doubt about this. I mean he wasn't expected to do this good, and he somehow started the season better than anyone expected, I am sure even he didn't expected the season to be this good. This means he will have some courage to go out there and play properly and do great job, and he will continue to be great.
There are few players nobody saw doing great before this season, Gyokeres wasn't that great back when he was in England neither, but ever since joining his current team he has been great, does that mean he is great, or does that mean he just has a good situation, like if someone pays 100 and gets him, will he fail? Or will he do fine. Barcelona is at the same position now.

Despite ending the 2023/24 season with impressive performance, Arda Guler is still struggling to become a regular player in Ancelotti squad because he lost out to other senior players. Especially after the arrival of Mbappe and Endrick, his chances of getting playing minutes are very small. In my opinion, Real Madrid should use his natural talent as a long-term investment. It would be better if Guler is loaned to another club so that he can get regular playing time to hone his talent. This move will greatly benefit Real Madrid in the future.
He just hasn't gotten a regular playing position in the team, but Ancelotti still plays him in certain matches and even though he comes off the bench. The tight competition makes him lose the opportunity to play regularly because in that position there are several other players who are much better in quality than him. If Real Madrid gives him the opportunity to play at another club as a loan player, it would be much better so that he can continue to hone his talent. But so far there has been no further discussion regarding Arda's loan status and maybe Ancelloti is still considering playing him when he wants to rotate. For a long-term position, perhaps taking advantage of his loan would be much better because Arda is still quite young and has a long career ahead of him. I believe usually sophomore wall is true for almost any player. When you have your first ever rookie season at a big club like this at a young age, you are not expected to do anything, not by your team, not by the opponents, so whatever you do ends up being a bit of a great addition to what was expected, which was nothing. Sophomore year the team knows what you are capable of doing, and opponents knows who you are, so you have harder time to adjust to playing with that much pressure, usually ends not so great. This is where the real stars are born, if you can overcome this season, third season is even harder because you focus on going over that hump and be great, and fourth season you become amazing and start to play almost every game. Most players handle these at other clubs, like Jude came in here ready, Mbappe too, all because they played their big club seasons at other teams, but Arda got his start here, sort of like Vini, who spent years training to be who he is.

Paris Saint Germaine have dominated the French league for far too long and must extend their dominance to Europe now before they can be considered as an European heavyweight. A win for the French champions at the Emirates will help improve the mentality and confidence of PSG but I strongly doubt they'll be able to beat Mikel Arteta's men.
Yes, that what fans have always wanted by seeing PSG able to create their own dominance in European competition, they are only kings in the domestic league and are always team that does not show stable strength in European competitions such as the UCL. If this season with the new format can provide an opportunity for PSG to compete for the championship title, then they must be able to make the most of it because that way PSG will slowly adapt to learn how to become team with champion mentality and be feared when participating in the UCL competition. Upcoming match will not be an easy match for PSG because they have to play away against Arsenal who are currently strong team, they could even beat PSG even though in the first UCL match they had to fail and accept draw when playing away against Atalanta. I curious about this match, whether PSG can play well or just like usual who have difficulty when playing against big team in every UCL match. PSG is one of the most successful and unluckiest club in French soccer history because they spend enough money for keeping themselves at the top in Ligue 1 and their dream for having European glory always shattered by themselves as well because usually when they have good coach squad having problems while they are having strong squad PSG have weak coach which is surely problem for them in a while. Currently, they are having stable position, but they needed to be stayed at this level with having good depth in squad and good relationship with coach which will surely bring good results and better atmosphere in dressing room which is important for the success. Now we are having Arsenal vs PSG which is surely not easy game as their record against Arsenal is also not good but still they needed to be had positive energy and strategy for this game because in case of failure things can go on back foot for them while they are having few challenging matches in future for having spot into next round of the Champions League.

Last season Arsenal also performed extraordinary in the Premier League. Arsenal even beat Man City in several meetings last season in the Premier League and other domestic leagues. And I remember last season many people also hoped that Arsenal would also play very well in the Champions League. But what happened last season seemed to be that Arsenal was not mentally prepared for the big pressure from a big league like the UCL. But this time or this season, I think Arteta has prepared the Arsenal squad much better. And yes, with their current condition, Arsenal will actually be very favored in the UCL. But yes, provided they remain consistent with their performance as they showed in the Premier League.
In this season, we are having Arsenal as a completely different side because they are doing good job and trying to keep things on good level as with in last few seasons they were doing good job in early rounds but at the end they were facing pressure which were hurting them, and they were paying with loses and having no cup but in this season we are having better strategy, and they are doing much better performance which is going to have good impact on their rest of the season. In game against Atlanta, most people were expecting them to win, but they were not able to score with Atlanta were dominating force, but they handle them on good way, so things are well-balanced in last game against Manchester City they were playing with 10 players in all second half but keep things at the top level which is good success for them with this confidence we can expect good results from them.

To be fair when your team is being taken over by the fund that loaned the money to owner, so you are getting this type of huge owner changes, it's clear that you are not going to get a great result from that many games.
Inter is at a very sensitive place, where the fund is looking to sell the team, sure they may end up spending a very little money on it, but they are not going to spend it out of pocket, they will at best make some debt for the team and they are looking to get rid of the team and make a profit from their investment. They weren't even interested in being the owners, they just loaned the money to the owner who just failed to pay the loan back and just went AFK, and now they are the owner without wanting to, which causes Inter to have inner chaos at the team.

The new coach of Brazil Dorival Junior hasn't been good. It is a pity that the previous Brazil coach Fernando Diniz was fired only because he produced low quality results and he was somewhat involved in political influence decisions that were bad for the team. But when we see the recent performance of the Brazil team, we can say that nothing has been changed in terms of performance of Brazil team.
Dorival Junior is appointed as a new manager for the 2026 World Cup and i do not think they are going to change him before that. Brazil will be going with the same manager in the 2026 WC.
62 years old Dorival Júnior who appointed as Brazil national coach in January 2024 is nephew of former Brazilian midfielder Dudu, and he is having good experience of coaching many Brazilian clubs in all leagues even his record is not good but still Brazilian Federation done a try for having some changes but in his last 8 months we have no development because from 10 games they are having 4 wins and 4 draws with 2 loses 14 goals scored by Brazil team and 9 conceded. In early months of his stint as Brazilian coach we have no positive signs and if Brazilian Federation wants to keep going then surely things could be not favourable for them to have better results in coming years because his record is not impressive, and they needed a creative coach who can bring good changes in players strategy and also make them some good finisher which is most important for this team even they are having too many big names and quality players, but things are taking no changes which is the biggest dilemma for them in recent time.

I think it was expected and not many people are shocked about it, we knew that it would happen this way and it did happen this way, it is not really that crazy complicated situation and I believe that as long as we keep seeing this be the same then I think it is going to be something that will take a while to get better results.
I know that it is going to be something that is taking a while, but that doesn't mean that we are going to see something that will be all that complicated, it is something that will not be all that hard to handle and we can make it work. I know that it is going to be a life that we all need, and I know that it is going to be a hard thing to handle but we are talking about a recovery that we all knew that would happen and yet some people unfortunately still didn't trusted that it would happen so we ended up with a lot of people who didn't made any money from this at all, some even lost money on this because they sold lower thinking it would go even lower.
