Sports / IPL 2023 by Mehwishzaman: 10:33am On Jan 09, 2023 |
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the largest international cricket league in the world. It features 10 teams that compete to qualify for the semi-finals and finals. Each team is made up of a mixture of international and domestic players. The matches are played in three formats - the T20, the Test, and the One Day International (ODI). The 2023 edition of the league will feature two new formats: the Ready-Reckoner and the Impact player rule. In addition, the tournament will be hosted at new venues, including Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. 10 teams The upcoming [url]IPL 2023 [/url]https://iplmarkaz.com/ipl-2023-start-date/season will be a thrilling competition. Ten teams are set to take part in the event. These teams will be playing a total of 74 matches, which will be played in a home-and-away format. Last year, the IPL was completed by eight teams. This season, two more teams have been added to the tournament. They are the Gujarat Titans and the Lucknow Super Glints. These two teams will make their debut in the tournament. Their first match will be against the Rajasthan Royals. As far as the points table is concerned, these teams will be competing with each other for a place in the final. The winner of this match will win the title of the IPL 2023. Ready reckoner format In a nutshell, the ready reckoner is a measure of the value of your property. If you are in the market for a new home, the cost of owning one is certainly a consideration. It is also an important factor when choosing a bank to provide a loan. A ready reckoner rate, or RRR for short, is a measure of the relative value of your property in comparison to the current market price. A typical ready reckoner rate is a multiple of the value of your property. Usually, the more expensive the property, the higher the price. The most obvious effect of a ready reckoner is that it affects the real estate industry. Many a time, a high ready reckoner rate discourages potential home buyers. On the other hand, a lower one helps aspiring property owners by lowering the amount of stamp duty they have to pay. Impact player rule The [url]Impact Player rule[/url]https://iplmarkaz.com/bcci-introduces-a-new-rule-for-ipl-2023-latest-updates/ for IPL 2023 is expected to be a game-changer. It will be the first time that a player is able to replace an outgoing player from the playing XI. The Impact Player rule allows teams to use a substitute player to replace an outgoing player while batting. In addition, the team can also use this player to replace one of the bowlers. While the Impact Player rule was a novelty, the ICC tried a similar concept a decade ago. The Impact Player rule is not mandatory, but it is an attempt to make the game more tactical. An impact player is an Indian player, but can also be an overseas player if the Playing XI has three or fewer foreign players. However, the Impact Player can only be used during a live game. Players shortlisted The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the list of players shortlisted for IPL auction. The list comprises 405 cricketers, and the auction is set to take place on December 23. There are 273 Indians and 132 overseas players on the list. South Africa has the most number of players on the shortlist, with 22. Players from Zimbabwe and Bangladesh also have two each on the list. And australia has 21. It's a list full of new names to watch out for in the upcoming tournament. Mukhtar Hussain, a 23-year-old Assam bowler, is among the probables. He is a right-handed medium-pace bowler. This makes him a good fit for teams looking to fill out their spinners. [url]Venues[/url]https://iplmarkaz.com/ipl-2023-match-venues/ Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most prestigious cricket tournaments in the world. Founded in 2007 by the Board Control for Cricket in India, IPL is now the sixth most attended sports league in the world. In 2023, the tournament will be held all over the country. The IPL will have 10 teams participating. These include Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Each team will have to play at least eight matches. The first match of IPL 2023 will be played on April 1, 2023, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The game will be contested between the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings. |

Sports / Ronald Banned From Making Al-nassr Debut, To Serve Two Game Suspension. by Toneypen247(m): 5:32pm On Jan 06, 2023 |
Ronaldo banned from making Al-Nassr debut, to serve two-game suspensionPublished on January 5, 2023By Don Silas Al-Nassr’s new signing, Cristiano Ronaldo will have to wait before making his debut for his new club as he is yet to serve his suspension for smashing the phone of an Everton fan last year, according to Daily Mail. This means Ronaldo will not make his Al-Nassr debut on Thursday evening when they host Al-Ta’ee in a Saudi Pro League tie. Recall that the English FA had handed Ronaldo a two-match ban for smashing the phone of an Everton fan last April. Apart from that, there are other factors preventing the former Manchester United forward from making his debut. Al-Nassr will have to offload a foreign player and get a certificate of competence from the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) before fielding the Portugal captain. Also, Al-Nassr coach Rudi Garcia indicated that he would wait for Ronaldo to return to full fitness as he took the field for the last time on December 10, 2022, during Portugal’s 2022 FIFA World Cup quarter-final defeat to Morocco. Ronaldo recently said on Tuesday that many clubs from across the world tried to sign him before his eventual move to Al-Nassr. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner stated this during his first interview as an Al-Nassr player on Tuesday evening. The 37-year-old said, “Nobody knows, but I can say now that I had many opportunities in Europe, many clubs in Brazil, in australia, in the US, even in Portugal, many clubs tried to sign me.” https://dailypost.ng/2023/01/05/ronaldo-banned-from-making-al-nassr-debut-to-serve-two-game-suspension/

Sports / What To Expect From World Cup 2026: Number Of Teams, Venues And Format by adspelite(m): 1:19pm On Dec 21, 2022 |
Qatar 2022 will go down as the most "compact" Fifa World Cup in history - but 2026 will be very different. While all matches this time around were played within a hour's drive of each other, the next World Cup will be played across three nations - Canada, the United States and Mexico. And it will be an expanded competition, with 16 additional teams taking part, meaning more matches. However, the tournament will still be played out within five weeks from mid-June 2026. Questions will be asked about the amount of travel players and fans will have to make, with the tournament being held in 11 US cities, along with three venues in Mexico and two in Canada. Sustainability will, therefore, be an important issue with the considerable number of flights needed to transport teams, fans, media and Fifa officials across three countries. Why will there be more teams than ever before in 2026? Fifa is expanding the next men's World Cup finals from 32 to 48 teams. It means more money will be generated through sponsorships, merchandising, ticket sales and broadcast revenues, with Fifa expecting to earn $11bn over the four-year cycle up to December 2026. Bumper crowds are expected at the next World Cup as the popularity of football in North America continues to grow. Fifa is projecting as many as 5.5 million fans will attend the next tournament, beating the record 3.6m supporters who attended games in 1994, when there was an average attendance of 68,000 at each game. The governing body claims that much of the increased profit will be redistributed to football development around the world, with projects including investment to expand the women's game. The expanded format will increase the number of competing teams from Africa and Asia. In 2022, there were a total of 11 teams from across the two confederations at the finals - including Qatar, who qualified automatically as hosts, and australia, who took part in the Asian qualifiers and then beat Peru in an intercontinental play-off. In 2026, there will be a minimum of 17 teams from across the two confederations - and there could be as many as 19, depending on which two countries win through the six-team intercontinental play-offs for the finals. A minimum of six Concacaf teams will qualify for the World Cup, including Canada, Mexico and the United States as hosts - and the federation will have two sides in the play-offs as well. Where will the matches be played in 2026? The 16 venues were announced in June, with all the grounds already built, and with the majority of big-capacity stadiums used by NFL teams in the United States. Some of the stadiums will be upgraded before 2026 and some will require the laying of grass surfaces, as artificial turf is not permitted by Fifa. As it stands, the format for 2026 will mean 80 matches across the tournament - although that could still change. The United States would host 60 matches, including every match from the quarter-finals onward, while neighbouring Canada and Mexico would each host 10 matches. Both the US and Mexico have hosted the World Cup before - but most of the venues in 2026 will be different. The US is using none of the stadiums from 1994, while Mexico has just one venue from 1970 and 1986 - the iconic Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. The host venues for 2026 are: United States New York/New Jersey (MetLife Stadium) Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium) Dallas (AT&T Stadium) San Francisco Bay Area (Levi's Stadium) Miami (Hard Rock Stadium) Atlanta (Mercedes-Benz Stadium) Seattle (Lumen Field) Houston (NRG Stadium) Philadelphia (Lincoln Financial Field) Kansas City, Missouri (Arrowhead Stadium) Boston/Foxborough (Gillette Stadium) Canada Toronto (BMO Field) Vancouver (BC Place Stadium) Mexico Guadalajara (Estadio Akron) Mexico City (Azteca Stadium) Monterrey (BBVA Bancomer Stadium) The geographical spread for the next World Cup has not yet been announced but it is likely that teams will play their group-stage games in regionalised zones. There are three main venue clusters, which should help reduce the amount of travel needed at least for part of the tournament. Western region: Vancouver Seattle San Francisco Bay Area Los Angeles Guadalajara Central Region: Kansas City Dallas Atlanta Houston Monterrey Mexico City Eastern Region: Toronto Boston Philadelphia Miami New York/New Jersey How will the 2026 finals be structured? The initial favoured option was to have 16 groups of three teams. Each team would play two group games, rather than three, with the first two teams progressing to a new round of 32. But the downside to that could be that the two teams playing in the last fixture could play out a specific result to send both teams through. That was alleged to have happened in 1982 when West Germany and Austria advanced at the expense of Algeria in the so-called 'Disgrace of Gijon'. Given the success of the four-team group format in 2022, the structure for 2026 will be revisited, according to Fifa president Gianni Infantino. "I have to say after this World Cup, and the success of the groups of four, we have to revisit or rediscuss the format whether we go for 16 groups of three or 12 groups of four." The indications are that it will end up being 12 groups of four, effectively split into two halves (like two Euros in one go). Another possibility, though one that appears unlikely, is that group games may not be allowed to finish as a draw. If the teams were level after 90 minutes, the outcome could be decided with a penalty shootout, without the need for extra time. Where will the Fifa World Cup 2026 final be played? A general view of the MetLife Stadium The MetLife Stadium in New Jersey could host the final That decision has not yet been made but it will be in the next year. The front-runner to host the final is the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, which has a seated capacity of 82,500 and is home to the New York Giants and New York Jets NFL teams. The Azteca in Mexico has been put forward as a potential host for the opening match. Both venues are contenders to host the 2026 final, but Fifa president Infantino said world football's governing body will take their time with a decision. "There are still some discussions to go on and we'll certainly choose the best cities for the openings and the finals," said Infantino. "But every match will be like a final at this World Cup." And what about 2030? That will be a special centenary event, 100 years after the first Fifa World Cup in Uruguay, which was contested by just 13 teams. Uruguay has claimed for some time that it should be awarded the tournament, possibly in a joint bid with Argentina. Spain and Portugal hope to be put forward by Uefa, but England dropped its interest in favour of bidding for Uefa Euro 2028 along with Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Saudi Arabia could be another potential bidder, though that could mean another winter tournament because of the high summer temperatures in the Middle East. A decision on the hosts of the 2030 tournament will be made by the Fifa Council in 2024.

Sports / Throwback: See What Was Said In 2014 Before FIFA World Cup Against Messi by 4teenblaq: 10:13pm On Dec 19, 2022 |
It is now Obvious that A lot of people(mostly cr7 fans) hate Lionel Messi despite how good he is(may be because of him reaching all above Cristiano Ronaldo). If you have been following the trends of this concluded FIFA world cup most especially from the Quarter finals, you must have seen how a lot of people had been coming up with conspiracy theories on how Messi and Argentina have "bought" the trophy from FIFA. Some were saying it was rigged for Argentina to win because; 1. Argentina were awarded any penalty, those penalties were not supposed to be awarded because, they were "soft" . 2. Argentina were facing weak teams instead of strong teams; like why would Argentina face australia? Why would Croatia lose to Brazil to face Argentina? 3. Portugal game against Morocco was refereed by five Argentines referee, that was why they lost to Morocco You can see some of the filmsy reasons some people that analysis football with bitterness and emotions have.. Not to waste your time about this, I want to draw you guys back to 2014, when Messi and Argentina made it to the final and see what some people were saying. After seeing this you will see that is no longer surprising how these sets of people could be bitter about a Team and one man. Right back in 2014, immediately Messi and his squad made it to the Final, they had to make a "theory" to discredit and disregard a hard earn victory for Argentina in the Semi finals and also pushed the narrative that Argentina had been put into the system by FIFA(rigging) to win the World cup in 2014..

Sports / Brazil Still Ranked Fifa's No. 1 Despite Argentina Winning The World Cup by ManirBK: 2:22pm On Dec 19, 2022 |
Argentina will not take over at the top of FIFA's World Ranking this month -- despite defeating France to win the World Cup for the first time since 1986. South American rivals Brazil have held the No. 1 position since February, when they deposed Belgium at the summit. But even though the Selecao failed to make it past the quarterfinals, Argentina's results haven't been enough to overtaken them. - World Cup 2022: News and features | Bracket | Results Brazil won three games at the World Cup, lost to Cameroon and suffered a penalty shootout defeat at the hands of Croatia. Argentina, meanwhile, won four games, lost one to Saudi Arabia and were twice victorious on penalties -- including the final on Sunday as they beat France 4-2 on spot kicks. Argentina won the Copa America in 2021, and are now world champions, but it's not enough for the No. 1 spot. Shootout successes are worth far fewer ranking points than regulation-time wins. If either Argentina or France had won the final within 120 minutes they would have gone to No. 1, but a penalty shootout guaranteed that Brazil could not be overtaken. Argentina and France both move up one place into second and third respectively, while Belgium slide down two places to fourth after failing to make it beyond the group stage. England stay in fifth, with fellow quarterfinalists Netherlands up two places into sixth. Croatia's run to a third-place finish at the World Cup sees them as the biggest climbers into the top 10, up five places from 12th. Italy, who failed to make it to Qatar, drop two spots to eighth. Portugal are unchanged in ninth, with Spain down three places to 10th. The biggest climbers are Morocco and australia, who both go up 11 places. Both countries massively over-performed, with fourth-placed Morocco now the top-ranked African team in 11th and australia, who made the round of 16, up to 27th. It's not Morocco's highest-ever ranking, as they were 10th in 1998, but as recently as 2015 they were as low as 92nd. Cameroon also enjoy a big rise of 10 places up to 33rd, thanks to their win over Brazil. The United States takes over as the top-ranking CONCACAF team, up three places into 13th as Mexico falls two into 15th. Canada and Qatar are the biggest fallers, both dropping 12 places into 53rd and 62nd respectively. Wales slump nine spots into 28th; Denmark are down eight into 18th and Serbia drop eight to 29th. The new FIFA World Ranking, which is a rolling assessment of results weighted for importance, will be officially published on Thursday. New FIFA Ranking top 20: 1. Brazil 2. Argentina 3. France 4. Belgium 5. England 6. Netherlands 7. Croatia 8. Italy 9. Portugal 10. Spain 11. Morocco 12. Switzerland 13. USA 14. Germany 15. Mexico 16. Uruguay 17. Colombia 18. Denmark 19. Senegal 20.

Sports / Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup Individual Awards List by TheChameleon: 11:57am On Dec 19, 2022 |
FIFA World Cup 2022: Golden Ball, Golden Boot, Golden Glove - complete list of all award winners Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Emi Martinez scooped the big prizes at the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Emiliano Martinez collected the big individual prizes at FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Messi had won the Golden Ball in 2014 in Brazil where Argentina suffered heartbreak in the final, going down 1-0 in extra time to Germany. But this time, the 35-year-old got his hands on the one trophy that had thus far eluded him throughout his spectacular career. The individual awards at a World Cup are always so precious. Although, team success is the ultimate goal, those who get their hands on the big prizes at major tournament often also take home the trophy. And that is exactly what has happened in Qatar. Here are the recipients of the biggest individual awards at the World Cup. Golden Ball — Lionel Messi Who else? The first player to score in each stage of a single World Cup and the third Argentine captain to lift the trophy. If that was the last time we saw Lionel Messi on the international stage then it was the perfect ending. This was the final piece of silverware for him to win and, for the majority of the tournament, he carried his team to glory. The 35-year-old scored seven goals and registered three assists and, after winning in the final, there was no way any other player could have been awarded the Golden Ball. Kylian Mbappe tried his hardest to steal the limelight from his Paris Saint-Germain team-mate, and almost did, but the script seemed written for Messi to finally put the finishing touch his trophy cabinet. The Golden Ball was first given after the 1982 World Cup and the Argentina captain is the first player to have won it twice, having also won it in 2014. Mbappe was the recipient of the Silver Ball while Luka Modric won the Bronze Ball. Golden Boot — Kylian Mbappe Mbappe’s efforts in the final, and throughout the tournament, would have usually been enough to coast to triumph but Messi’s magic proved to be too much. The Golden Boot provides a consolation for the young Frenchman but, understandably, he was less than impressed to be forced into posing with the trophy. His hat-trick in the final — the first since 1966 — brought his 2022 World Cup tally to eight goals, one more than club team-mate Messi. Mbappe now has 12 goals at World Cup finals, leaving him just four behind the all-time leading goalscorer Miroslav Klose. It feels like 2026, with its expanded format, will be the year that he smashes that record to pieces. For now, the 23-year-old won’t be particularly excited by picking up one of football’s great individual accolades but a Golden Boot should never be sniffed at. Golden Glove — Emiliano Martinez While Messi will forever be the hero of the 2022 World Cup final, he has his goalkeeper to thank once again for winning trophies on the international stage. Like he did in last year’s Copa America, Emiliano Martinez hammered home his authority as the best goalkeeper at a tournament and picked up the Golden Glove in Qatar. He was the star of two penalty shootouts — including the biggest of them all — as Argentina got their hands on the trophy. Martinez saved two spot kicks in the win against the Netherlands and kept out Kingsley Coman in the final. His efforts during the 120 minutes cannot be ignored either as he made a huge save to keep out, what would have been, a winning goal from Randal Kolo Muani at the death. Had it not been for such a dominant performance in the final from the Aston Villa No 1, Dominik Livakovic might have been the recipient of the award. But there is little debate to be had after a final such as that one. Young Player Award — Enzo Fernandez There were so many players in the running for the Young Player Award but, for his performances in a World Cup-winning campaign, Enzo Fernandez stood out head and shoulders above his competitors. The 21-year-old was only just young enough to be considered for the accolade as if Fernandez was born 17 days earlier he would have been eligible for the award. He actually didn’t feature in Lionel Scaloni’s starting XI during the first couple of games but his influence off the bench against Mexico in the second game was more than enough to justify a midfield spot. A brilliant goal to open his international account preceded terrific showings against Poland, australia and the Netherlands. While Scaloni tinkered with his midfield and defence, Fernandez was unmoved and he certainly repaid the faith that had been shown in him. A magnificent performance throughout the 120 minutes against France followed one way beyond his years in the semi-final win against Croatia. The likes of Jude Bellingham and Josko Gvardiol were in the debate right until the last two hours of the World Cup but, in the end, there was only one winner. https://theathletic.com/4013965/2022/12/18/individual-awards-2022-world-cup/

Sports / Madrid Willing To Pay 80 Million For Enzo Fernandez As Benfica Ask 120 For Him by plethora007: 12:20pm On Dec 05, 2022 |
It is common for Real Madrid to use World Cups as an opportunity to test the most important talents on the planet. It happened with James, Modric and other players who ended up being important at the club. Now, it looks like Enzo Fernandez could be next. It has already come to light that the scouts at the Santiago Bernabeu are following him and 'El Debate' is even saying what options are being considered to carry out the operation. Benfica, his owner, are looking to get 120 million euros for his hypothetical transfer. The 'Merengues' do not want to offer more than 80 and do not rule out putting on the table 70 plus the transfer of Reinier, who gave much to talk about when he landed in Spain from Flamengo, but who, so far, has not got space in Carlo Ancelotti's line-ups. He is currently on loan at Girona. It makes sense that the Madrid side do not want to spend so much money on this front. Lately, they have only done so when they have been sure that their investment will pay off. For example, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni, both of whom are highly promising and will provide 'Los Blancos' with a guaranteed generational replacement for Toni Kroos and Luka Modric unless they suffer an unexpected slump. Enzo Fernandez, unconcerned by these reports, be they about Real Madrid or about any other suitors, is focused on trying to win the World Cup in Qatar with Argentina. Against Poland, at the end of the group stage, he provided an assist and, against australia, in the round of 16, he had the misfortune to deflect a shot from Goodwin that ended up in the back of the net of 'Dibu Martinez'.
