NFL Recap & Standings

Published

on

With this current weekend being the last weekend of the NFL main season, in the run up to the playoffs, we thought now would be as good a time as any to have a recap and to take a look at the current standings. We’ll also have a quick breakdown of who are our favourites to go on to win it all! So it’s probably a good idea to take a look at the last gameweek fixtures and the way the tables lie right now before we start right?

Rundown

As you can see from our table, we’ve got some teams going into this week on poor runs of form, most notably at the top of the NFC East, with the division still in the balance, Washington are currently on a 2 game losing streak after getting beat by the Panthers last weekend, meanwhile their direct competition for the division, the Cowboys, are on a 3 game win streak, most recently running out a comfortable 37-17 victory over the Eagles, it’s going to be interesting to see how things turn out as we head into this last gameweek, we already have a few teams who have clinched their division and/or the conference, so let’s take a quick look at those now. Over in the AFC the Chiefs have already clinched the conference, with the Bills and Steelers taking their respective divisions, in the AFC South as you can see from our table, the Titans and the Colts are both tied at 10-5 so that division is still all to play for, we’ll find out more after this gameweek there! As I mentioned, the NFC East division is wide open with Washington Football Team and the Cowboys both sitting at 6-9, the Seahawks, Packers and Saints have clinched their respective divisions but the conference is still up for grabs. The Buccaneers however have grabbed their place in the wild card games!

Thankfully, with the conclusion of this game week and the regular season, it doesn’t mean the end for the NFL on our TV’s as the big games in the wild card round will be starting next weekend on Saturday 9th January! If you’re a betting man like me, it’s clear to see that the Chiefs are the favourites to win the upcoming Superbowl, for the 2nd season running might I add, but the Packers are also looking pretty good, they are playing a pretty high scoring, intense game this season, either way, it’s great that places like SBR offer NFL odds on a weekly basis to get you through the playoff games and the big day itself! In a way it’s great that we don’t have that long to wait as this seasons Superbowl is scheduled for Sunday 7th February, unless COVID has something to say about it!

Well, that’ll do it, a quick run down of where things stand and a pretty brief look at what’s to come and while it may not be great that the NFL will soon be drawing to a close, we will be closing out the season with a bang and also will be able to pick up coverage of the NHL starting this month to fill the gap left by Football! So if you’re interested in seeing those reports, let us know! Go Leafs!

Greg Chappell encourages Australia to not view the India trip as a “sideshow” because “there is red-hot fury and embarrassment among our fans”

Published

on

According to former Australia captain Greg Chappell, the team’s first two Test losses in India have left the nation’s supporters furious, perplexed, and ashamed.

After falling behind 2-0 in their four-match Test series against India, Australia has now lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy four times in a row. Australia lost both games in the span of three days, with India mercilessly exposing Australia’s hitters’ deficiencies against spin bowling. Although the second day of the second Test was a competitive match, the Australian batters meekly gave up in the third, and former captain Greg Chappell claims that the performance has disappointed the home crowd.

According to Chappell, Australian cricket as a whole has to start ranking India trips on par with or even higher than the Ashes. The fact that our squad has displayed such little grit thus far in the series has enraged the Australian public, and rightfully so. The sight of a batsman being out on the first ball while doing the reverse sweep and acting like this series is not important for the future pisses off. Australian cricket needs to understand that taking on India is not a sideshow but rather the main event, equal to or perhaps greater than The Ashes, he said.

Australia was bowled for 177 and 91 in its two innings, contributing to India’s 400-run victory in the first Test, which it lost by an innings and 132 runs. In the first two days of the second Test, they performed well, reaching 263 runs in the first innings and nearly gaining a commanding lead before being bowled for 113 runs on Day 3. India secured a 6-0 victory and a commanding 2-0 lead as a result. Since 2015, Australia has not been able to defeat India in a Test series, either at home or abroad.

Highlights from the England vs. South Africa Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 semifinal: SA won the championship by 6 runs over ENG

Highlights from the England vs. South Africa Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 semifinal: Up until South Africa rallied and advanced to the championship game’s final three overs of the innings, England was coasting along in the chase.

Highlights from the England vs. South Africa Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 semifinal: After holding South Africa to 164/4, England was coasting when the final three overs of their innings changed the course of the match. At the end of the 16th over, England had scored 131 runs, and even though South Africa claimed the important wicket of Nat Sciver-Brunt in the 17th, England appeared to be able to continue scoring at the same pace. Ayabonga Khaka, collecting three wickets, bowled what might be remembered as the game-changing over of the tournament.

The victory was subsequently secured by Shabnim Ismail’s dismissal of England captain Heather Knight in the final over. Previously, South Africa’s powerplay inning got off to a poor start, but the openers picked up the pace and put up a stout defence. Ending with a half-century, Laura Wolvaardt’s opening partnership with Tazmin Brits produced 96 runs. With Brits’ second consecutive half-century, who had previously failed to reach 140 in this competition, South Africa grabbed control and was poised to surpass 170.

Following a sensational 19th over from Sophie Ecclestone in which she claimed two wickets, South Africa reached 164/4 after the 20th over went for 18. For the first time ever, South Africa has advanced to the T20 World Cup final, where they will take on the formidable Australia on Sunday.

The change in African soccer

Published

on

African footballers are used to playing on the world’s football fields with only a handful of elite players who play in the best European leagues. What about the other lesser known players? They are trying to break through by taking side roads.

the results obtained by Morocco will have repercussions and will allow Africa to reap important gains in line with its footballing power.

I think that every African country should take an example from Morocco in the last world cup we saw Morocco go very far in the Competition.

Today we are going to speak mainly about Congo I think that they must begin by investing in the youth infrastructure construction of center there is so much talent in this country it is a pity that there is only one stadium in the capital of Kinshasa as a sports adviser all its young people have a dream is to come to play in Europe but before extinguishing this dream I think that the base must be solid a competition of age must be created for the young people so that it can evolve well from this moment there we will be able to consider to make the necessary (sports adviser, player’s agent) to go and see his young players in order to find the best talents to pass the next step
