Hazard : I don’t deserve Ballon d’Or, Mbappe does

Chelsea star, Hazard believes that the PSG youngster, Mbappe should be ahead of Modric in the queue for the Ballon d’Or, after winning the World Cup.

 

The race for the 2018 Ballon d’Or is arguably the most unpredictable in over a decade. Several players are said to be in the running. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have won the last 10 between them. But neither of them are considered to be among the favourites. After they failed to make much of an impact at the World Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo , Ballon d'Or

Luka Modric was considered to be in line for the individual gong. Modric was recently crowned as FIFA’s Best Men’s Player following an excellent 2018, helping Croatia to the FIFA World Cup final and Real Madrid to a third UEFA Champions League success in a row. But at the club level he has been underwhelming this season.

Hazard starred in Russia and is sparkling for Chelsea this season. But he does not feel worthy of the award and the winger believes World Cup winner Mbappe has been more consistent over the course of the calendar year. He should beat Modric and himself to the Ballon d’Or. The ceremony will take place on 3rd December in Paris, per RTBF via Ouest-France.

hazard

“Even though I had a very good year, we have to keep our feet on the ground. ” Hazard told RTBF. “I do not deserve the Ballon d’Or, I think there are players who have been better than me. I would have said Luka Modric. But he plays a little less well since August or September. So if we take into account the beginning of the season, I would say Kylian Mbappe. The goal for me is not to have the Ballon d’Or, it is to maximise fun on the pitch. If I win it one day, so much the better. If I don’t, it will not be a problem.”

 

Ballon d’Or chances :

While the start to 2018-19 may have been forgetful for Modric. But the memories of his performances in the Champions League final and throughout the World Cup remain vivid. In the Champions League final against Liverpool, he bossed the game as Real Madrid won 3-1. While in the World Cup he was the heartbeat of the Croatia team. They made a shock run to the final, only to lose to France.

Modric , Mbappe

On the France team and the scoresheet that day (World Cup final) was Mbappe. He established himself as a footballing superstar with his performances at the tournament. The 19-year-old was sensational for Les Bleus. He netted four goals and outstripped numerous defences with his blistering speed. While Modric’s season has gotten off to a slow start following the World Cup. Mbappe appears to have kicked on again, netting 13 times already this season for PSG.

Hazard also enjoyed a wonderful World Cup. He was Belgium’s key performer as they finished third. He’s been excellent for Chelsea so far in 2018-19 too. Hazard has scored seven goals and set up another four in the Premier League this season, despite making just eight starts.

Asus Zenfone Max M1 detailed review: Worth buying at Rs.7,499?

Looking for a solid smartphone on a budget? You should go for the ASUS Zenfone Max M1 at Rs.7,499 after reading our detailed review on it

ASUS recently launched its budget end smartphone Zenfone Max M1 at Rs.7,499. What has made this smartphone so special is its solid offerings at the budget smartphone?

In our daily lives, we always look for a smartphone that has enough RAM to handle all our apps efficiently, decent enough processor, and a great battery life.

When we have a budget of around Rs.7,000, we cannot expect a smartphone to have a mind-blowing camera. But, it’s boon to us if we get a good camera.

Keeping all these things in mind, and on basis of user interests, we decided to do a detailed review of the ASUS Zenfone Max M1.

Before our thoughts, let’s give a quick overview of the specs of this smartphone:

Asus Zenfone Max M1 detailed review: Worth buying at Rs.7,499?

  • 13.84 cm (5.45 inch) HD+ Display
  • 13MP Rear Camera with f/2.0 aperture
  • 8MP Front Camera with f/2.0 aperture
  • 4000 mAh Battery
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 Processor
  • 3 GB RAM | 32 GB ROM | Expandable Up to 256 GB
  • Zen UI 5.0 on top Android Oreo 8.0
  • Face Unlock and Fingerprint Sensor

Honestly speaking, I was surprised when I started reviewing this smartphone. Here’s what I have dug out after using it for 15 days:

Asus Zenfone Max M1 detailed review: Worth buying at Rs.7,499?

Display

The first main feature of the smartphone that you’ll notice is its HD+ display. It has a 5.45 inch HD+ IPS display with 18:9 aspect ratio that seems sharp and vivid. Though it does not has the best viewing angle, but for a budget smartphone, it is ok.

The 2.5D glass around the corners makes the screen look cool as well. The screen seems to be bright enough with 400 nits of max brightness.

Asus Zenfone Max M1 detailed review: Worth buying at Rs.7,499?

Design

The smartphone is a sturdy one that feels good when you hold in your hand, and it is much like its brother Zenfone Max Pro M1. The build quality is great, though it’s not stylish its a decent one. Because of the metallic finish and unibody design, it feels quite premium as well.

Performance

When it comes to performance, you get the real benefit of having the 3GB RAM. Housed by an old but good enough Snapdragon 430 octa-core processor, day-to-day tasks seems buttery smooth.

Well, it does lack the Snapdragon 450 as you see in Realme C1 or the Helio P22 in Redmi 6, but at Rs.7,499 it does a pretty good job. The 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage help you boost your daily performance.

An octa-core processor with 3GB RAM helps you do play games like FIFA Mobile, Clash Royale and even PUBG Mobile at low settings.

Asus Zenfone Max M1 detailed review: Worth buying at Rs.7,499?

Camera

The surprise element of this smartphone is the camera, as because at Rs.7,499 this packs some awesome rear as well as front cameras. The Zenfone Max M1 packs a “too common” 13MP primary camera with f/2.0 aperture, so it takes a lot of light and details as well.

I was surprised to see that this smartphone captures a great portrait shot through its single lens using software optimizations. The daylights shots are absolutely great while night shots look promising as well. The colours in the pics seem natural and bright. Here are some of the sample shots:

[metaslider id=9212]

Overall it has a great rear camera compared to its price. You can even record 1080p videos with this smartphone with great details and colours.

The 8MP front camera with f/2.0 aperture to looks fair enough, and you also get modes like Beauty, Portrait, Selfie Panorama, GIF Animation.

Battery

The feature that stands out for the smartphone is its insane 4000mAh battery that lasts much longer mostly because of its clean UI. It can easily last for 1-2 days with normal usage and even more with lesser use. It does not support fast charge but gets fully charged by 2-3 hours.

Asus Zenfone Max M1 detailed review: Worth buying at Rs.7,499?

Software & other features

The feature I felt the best about the smartphone is its clean UI. ASUS’s own Zen UI 5.0 on top of Android Oreo 8.0 is very light and fast, making the smartphone much more efficient.

Interestingly the smartphone features both the Face Unlock and Fingerprint Sensor. Both seems fast and accurate but face unlock takes a few milliseconds more time than the fingerprint sensor.

 

So, having listed all our views, one thing that is clear is that this smartphone packs in some serious features that are hard to find in the price range. It is a solid smartphone with modern amenities and has some great looks. Here are the pros and cons of the smartphone:

Asus Zenfone Max M1 detailed review: Worth buying at Rs.7,499?

Pros:

  • Great build quality
  • Good cameras
  • Huge battery
  • Clean UI
  • 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage
  • Only costs Rs.7,499
  • Has both the Face Unlock and Fingerprint Sensor

Cons

  • No notch(if you need one then)
  • No dual camera(though it does great for portrait mode)
  • Old Snapdragon 430 processor

Asus Zenfone Max M1 detailed review: Worth buying at Rs.7,499?

To be precise if you are on a budget and need a solid smartphone with good cameras and great battery life, ASUS Zenfone Max M1 as the best choice. I would rate a 4.2 out of 5 for the smartphone.

English Premier League approves the use of VAR from next season

English Premier League clubs have voted in favour of introducing Video Assistant Referees (VAR) to the competition from next season.

 

English Premier League is the only major European league not to make use of Video Assistant Referees. VAR has already been implemented in France, Spain, Germany and Italy.

The vote was held at a shareholders’ meeting on Thursday. The clubs reached an agreement. It will see the English top flight, join the UEFA Champions League in introducing video technology at the start of the 2019-20 campaign. “Premier League clubs have agreed in principle to introduce Video Assistant Referees (VAR) to the competition in the 2019/20 season. ” a statement on the league’s website read.

“At a Shareholders’ Meeting today, clubs were provided with an update on the non-live VAR trials being undertaken by the League and Professional Game Match Officials (PGMOL) this season. Key learnings from VAR’s use in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, and other leagues across the world, were discussed in detail. The Premier League’s non-live testing programme will remain in place for the rest of this season. Along with a continued emphasis on those Saturday afternoons which have several matches being played concurrently. And developing a clear protocol for communicating VAR decisions to fans. The League will now formally make a request to the International Football Association Board and FIFA to use VAR next season.”

The news comes less than a week after Southampton manager Mark Hughes said the Premier League is “still in the dark ages” because of its delay in adopting VAR. The Saints boss was complaining after striker Charlie Austin had a goal disallowed against Watford. This prompted the forward to hit out at officials in an interview after the game.

“It’s ridiculous. Watford shouldn’t be in the game. We scored a perfectly good goal that was ruled out for offside. ” he said. “The officials cost us two points. They said it was offside; that is a joke. People go on about VAR. They [the referees] clearly need help. If this is the best, most-watched league in the world then give them all the help they need. It is a joke.”

UEFA Nations League : Promotions, Relegations and the Finals

The UEFA Nations League group stage is nearing its conclusion. But which teams can still be promoted, relegated or reach the finals? Lets have a look.

 

The UEFA Nations League involves promotion and relegation as well as the chance to reach the UEFA EURO 2020 play-offs and, from League A, June’s knockout finals. The race to earn promotion to the league above or even qualify for the finals – all while avoiding the drop to the tier below – is beginning to hot up ahead of next month’s last batch of group games.

Germany are in danger of suffering relegation as the inaugural Nations League nears the conclusion of the tournament’s opening phase. With the last fixtures set to be played over the next few days, teams will be seeking to round off their campaigns on a high with plenty still to be decided. All four places in the Nations League finals remain up for grabs, while only two teams have been promoted (Georgia and Ukraine) or relegated (Iceland and Poland) so far.

 

Race for the finals :

A trophy is up for grabs at the end of the first Nations League cycle, with four teams set to compete in semi-finals and a final at the end of the 2018-19 European club season.

Group 1 :

World Cup winners France lead the way in Group 1 with seven points from three games, but Netherlands can overhaul them with two wins in their remaining fixtures. A draw in Rotterdam on Friday would send France to the finals, though.

Group 2 :

Belgium or Switzerland will emerge as the winners of Group 2, with a straight shoot-out between the two for the final berth. Switzerland must win by two clear goals to guarantee their progression, while Belgium only need to be victorious.

Group 3 :

Portugal top Group 3 and only need a draw in Italy on Saturday while Roberto Mancini’s men must beat the Euro 2016 champions and hope they do not take three points against Poland.

Group 4 :

Despite losing at home to England last month, Spain remain frontrunners in Group 4 with victory in Croatia on Thursday enough to send them through to the finals at England’s expense.

Promoted :

  • Georgia (D→C)
  • Ukraine (B→A)

 

Relegated :

  • Iceland (A→B)
  • Poland (A→B)

 

Here we look at each of the 55 teams individually :

Albania : C1 – position to be confirmed
