Incredible Egyptian goal is disallowed because of a foul far away, then same situation a few minutes later and goal for Argentina not disallowed! No VAR, nothing? FIFA again looks like a corrupt joke, playing favorites for stars.

Quality goalkeeping has become a subplot of these World Cup knockout games.
The teams prone to late collapses don't have a top tier goalkeeper who can bail them out of difficult situations.
You *need* a goalkeeper who can dominate their area and make big saves at crunch time.

Nahid Rana now has more ODI five-wicket hauls than Imran Khan, Ian Botham, and Kapil Dev combined.

🚨 Ashwin slammed Gautam Gambhir and team management for dropping Sanju Samson:

You dropped Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav. Now, what will the other players think? They will all feel that they are next and that their turn will come. That's not a good thing for the team.

They dropped Sanju so early. If I were the coach, I would have given Sanju Samson a longer rope because he won the World Cup. Even Suryakumar Yadav should not have been dropped. You could have removed him from the captaincy instead.

3. Promote more multi-team series.
4. Launch continental championships across regions.
5. Create a World Club T20 Championship for franchises.
6. Expand WTC to 12 teams (including Ireland, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan).
7. Allow one-Test series to count for WTC points.
8. Introduce a two-tier Test system.

Ok now this has classic ingredients
Mexico at it

Taking nothing away from Norway & Haaland & Brazil will have regrets too. But this is poor from Ancelotti. 35% possession, giving the ball to Vini as your only plan, no intensity, Neymar on after 67 minutes. First time since 1990, Brazil don’t reach the quarters! Unacceptable

Cmon boy Endrick
That should have been a goal

Windies should do best to prepare surface suited to their fast bowlers
They can do real damage

Batters need confidence and placid wickets give that but you don’t win tests on those especially if you lack top spinners

Ultimately test wins harbour sustainable confidence
