Champions League: Barcelona is in danger!

UEFA Champions League

Anyone can be the assailant who is familiar in secure fortress. Xavi are afraid of this. Since Atletico Madrid keeps all of the ins and outs of Barça, anything can happen.

First leg of the quarter final of Barca-Atletico Madrid match in the Champions League should store an adventure today. This season, the two teams could not beat each other in three meetings. Xavi knows how much it should be difficult to beat Atletico Madrid.

But tonight, in Champions League Bayern Munich - Manchester United match could be the content of the debate. Last season when the two teams faced a desperate affair of honor was expecting.  This time it may be desperate but only for Bayern Munich! United in that situation, it would be  a 'strange' if Manchester United will beat Bayern Munich in their own home ground.

However United coach David Moise is not agreeing to concede a defeat against Bayern Munich,  'We know how hard our game, We will try to take the chance where they have a little bit of weaknesses'. 

Winning the Bundesliga title remaining seven matches Josep Guardiola's team Bayern Munich is now concentrating on  Champions League title. However, Manchester United is far away from the English Premier League title and they may not be qualified for the next Champions League.

In that sense Barca-Atletico Madrid match will be much more competitive today in the Champions League. Xavi feels a little uncomfortable, 'I do not want to play in the Champions League with the Spanish team. I would rather play with someone else in the league. We are very well known to Atletico. They do not give you the opportunity. They are very handy and frozen in defense, well in attacking'.

Atletico midfielder Koke, however, happy to play in the quarterfinals, ' You do not play it every day in the quarterfinals. We want to show the performances against a very tough opponent'.

Yet one reason for cautions speech of Real coach, Unlike the image of La Liga. This time not only two horses, Three horses in the war. Atletico Madrid is also necked with Barcelona and Real Madrid. These three title rivals played last Wednesday night. Barca and Atletico won but Real Madrid lost. Barca and Atletico went to ahead to win the title but Real deferred.

Real Madrid had a great starting in Sevilla's home ground. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal from 25 yards away in the 14th minute. That was the 27th goal of the Portuguese winger of the League. But Real's goal to pay back takes just five minutes to Sevilla. Sevilla turned into equal by Columbian striker Carlos Bakkar's goal.But the rest of the game was still in amazement. 

Carlos took to the stake to kill the monster. Sevilla striker came in the scenario again in the 72nd minute. He forwarded Sevilla by a tremendous goal. The goal was not to pay the Real Madrid. But Real Madrid dominated the whole match.  Real had 68 percent possession, where Sevilla had only 32 percent possession. Real had seven shots to the goal, Sevilla had only two and they succeeded in both.

Now Real Madrid at number three in points table where they were at number one in the last week. Real Madrid's 70 points playing 30 matches. Atletico have 73 points and 72 of Barca playing same numbers of matches.

T-20 Cricket World Cup 2014: LED Stumps flash lights!

LED Stumps

Cricket World has revolted from start ICC T-20 Cricket World Cup 2014 in Bangladesh. And you are indeed watching T-20 Cricket World Cup 2014? You may have noticed this year stumps are flashing lights in World Cup matches!

Stumps are not like before. The lights flash as the bail dislodges from stumps! This year's World Cup, this is a new technology 'LED Stumps'. This is called 'Zings Stumps'.

If any little touch begins to boil it sends a wireless wave and light flashes. It takes less than a fifth of a second. The stumps have been used to make the composite plastic and it has a sensor that is particularly associated with Microprocessor.

Before, the winning team's players would have to take wickets as souvenir or memorabilia. But this world cup they could not take any bail or wicket. Stumps are so expensive! The total price of 40 dollars for six stumps used in each match! An  Australian company has made these stumps.

The inventor Brandi Ackerman has informed, For each match, we're using patented technology which is worth 40 thousand dollars. Each bail price equal to the price of an iPhone.  At the end of the game, so now we could not able to give them any bail or wicket. 

This is not the first time the use of Zing system's stumps. Before this world cup it has been used in Australian home T-20 league, New Zealand and West Indias also. Though this system has been used any of the events organized by the ICC in Bangladesh for the first time.

Ackerman thinks, The price will be reduced if such stumps will be popular. If within the next few years the price will arrive at fingertips then players would take these stumps or bail as  souvenir or memorabilia.

El Clasico: Revenge mission for Real Madrid!

El Clasico

El Clasico means there will be unending adventure! Today will be a bit more likely to adventure at Bernabeu. Today to defeat Barcelona means Real Madrid will take a footstep forward to win the title of the Spanish League.

The match will be held at their own home ground, The team is in a great form, Coach Carlo Ancelotti must expect a win. Whatever seems to be, It went down in the face of Real Coach, 'We are in good form. Eagerly waiting for the match. But we know it will be hard to win against Barcelona. We need to play with our best, To beat Barcelona we have to give should be fully.'

Players also know what that will do to, because Barcelona beat them by 2-0 in the last fight at Nou Camp. It can be said a coincidence that Real Madrid has not been defeated in any game since losing that match. Will Barcelona break this genre today? Barcelona won only one match among five 'away' matches. The form is not favoring them. But Andres Iniesta gave them to remind who are overruling Barcelona, 'Our time is not going well, It is not right to think that we would lose so easily against Real Madrid.'  Iniesta tried to reassure the fans of Barcelona, 'It is difficult to think that some Barça supporters don't trust us, Whatever the situation is, This team is entitled to at least the dependence.'

Today El Clasico will be witness of an era of change. Carles Puyol and Victor Alves are leaving Barcelona at the end of this session. Maybe today they will play the last match for Barcelona wearing this jersey!

T-20 Cricket World Cup 2014: India showed, it's World Cup!

India vs Pakistan in T-20 Cricket World Cup 2014

In Cricket India-Pakistan match means dispersal of thrills. Obviously the battle of field and it also increases in the press box and outside the field among the cricket fans who are deprived from tickets of the gallery. The match between India and Pakistan, no matter the match holds in Bangladesh or any other planet. This the eternal appeal of India-Pakistan match.

Yesterday also it began. Sher-e-Bangla cricket stadium's gallery was packed with cricket fans. Waving of India-Pakistan flags. But the deficit was in the real parts! The waiting was for that 'Cricket war', That was a little too one-sided and watery. In T-20 World Cup history India won the match dominating over Pakistan again by 7 wickets remaining 9 balls. With this match in T-20 world Cup history India-Pakistan face for four times and India won every match.

131 is not a big target in T-20 cricket. However, to whom Pakistan gave this target, it was India!  Whose main power is batting lineup. In opening partnership Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan consisted 54 runs and made it easy for India. However, within 65 runs Dhawan, Rohit and Yuvraj went to the pavilion though it was not so difficult for India. Kohli and Raina came in to finish the match unbeaten.  Before the World Cup Raina brought his batting lessons from  Sourav Ganguly.After practice matches the improvement is being showed yesterday also.

Pakistan batting was randomized at the beginning with the run out of Kamran Akmal. And then Pakistan's innings was bashed in every footstep. In second wicket partnership Shehzad and Hafeez consisted 35 runs and in fourth wicket partnership Umar Akmal and Shoib Malik consisted 50 crucial runs. Pakistan scored 130 runs in their batting innings.  Afridi couldn't be found during batting, 8 runs off 10 balls!  It was a poor batting for Afridi.

Dhoni had a good captaincy. Winning the toss he chosed to field to avoid the dew factor. Three specialist spinners were shining in bowling and they made a crucial innings for India. Ashin bowled four over and conceded only 23 runs. Amit Mishra also took 2 wickets and conceded only 22 runs.

The coach was sent to talk about Afghanistan match and the captain came to talk about the next match against Bangladesh. Last defeat exhausted in the eyes and the face, Captain Atkinson said, 'It's a great opportunity to try for Hong Kong to make a history defeating Bangladesh. If it will be possible, of course for Hong Kong and also it will be probably the biggest disasters in the history of World Cup Cricket.'

So everyone we should try with our best.'

Consecutively we have lost after coming in first World Cup. We need to shake off the disappointment and want to make a new history.'

Man Utd needs a 'Miracle'!

UEFA champions league

They are far away from the Premier League title fight, dropped out from two consecutive domestic tournaments before. In the last hope of the season for Manchester United in the European Champions League title. But today, the last hope can be terminated! To survive in Europe's top tournament today David Moise's team needs a little bit 'miracle' at their home field. In the first leg of the second round, they lost in Greece by 2-0. To offset the deficit in the second leg they need a win against Olympiacos today. There is a hope that, The match will be held at Old Trafford.

However, there is no hope for Jenita St. Petersburg. Losing the first leg by 2-4 of the Russian Club will have to take to recoup the shortfall at Dortmund's field the runner-up of the previous session.

The Red Devils have lost by 3 goals at Old Trafford in their last match against Liverpool. On the other hand winning four consecutive league titles Olympiacos is seething with full confidence. They lost all of the 11 matches played in England; but it is not impossible to defeat Manchester United, they proved it in the first leg!

T-20 World Cup Cricket 2014: World Festival Begins

Dhoni relying on IPL experience.

Dhoni Indian Cricketer

Dhoni returned into the team after overcoming an injury, turned the debate also. The Indian team was to fly from Mumbai to Dhaka yesterday morning. Dhoni wanted to leave the debate. But what if it wished to be back!

It is an unwritten rule to face to the media during the team before going abroad. Indian team  showed the thumb to the tradition of two consecutive tournaments. India team didn't face to the media during the Asia Cup, they have done it this time also. Before leaving the country addressing to a global event may be this is the first record that India team didn't face to media. IPL fixing, still mild surges. Chennai Super Kings owner Gurunath Meiyappan, Dhoni with two more national team players names have been rumored strongly. The idea was to stay away from the news staff to avoid the embarrassing question. There was no way to avoid it. Hard and fast press conference of ICC. However, before the press conference media manager Dr. Baba made across the condition, 'Just have questions about cricket'. 

Therefore, the questions about to avoid the fixing debate and media indexed at the beginning of the context. But already there was appeared a new plot in the context about a topic of outside the field! Coach Duncan Fletcher didn't come with the team. The Indian cricket board is not happy with the recent performance of the team. Already Sunil Gavaskar said to appoint Rahul Dravid as coach. It is rumored more that BCCI chief invited Fletcher yesterday  in Chennai. Since the matter is about coach, there should have been a question about 'Cricket'. Questioned also. Former test batsman Brijesh Patel and the Indian team manager did not think that it is important, ' We do not know indeed where is coach, but he will join with us tomorrow'.

Eliminating the  the controversies, Dhoni had a great last few days. Thus, the desired leisure time was unexpected! He is the captain in three editions, he leads the IPL and Champions League franchise, plays all matches. Hard to get the rest of the year. Suddenly, the opportunity came up for the abdominal muscle injury.  He could not play in the Asia Cup. India was unable to reach the final of the Asia Cup, but Dhoni had a good time, 'Should be seen the positive ones of injury. For me it was positive that I got a little rest. There was nothing to do at all. Lazed at home and watched TV. Overall, had a good time. Now time to play good cricket in the field'.

India will face with their arch-rival in the field in the first match. On 21st March  India - Pakistan match will begin the main episode. After beating India in Asia Cup Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez is very excited and he said also, They are happy to get India in the first match. However, not much has been heard from Dhoni, 'Just not wondering about first match and Pakistan. Our group is already very strong, every match is important. In last T-20 We went out of the tournament losing only one match.'

Dhoni returned, returned also two experienced Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina who were out from the ODI squad. There is not so much to think about batting. May be thinking of bowling and less playing T-20 matches. Incredible but true, India played only one T-20 match for last 14 months! However, Dhoni doesn't want to say this is an 'Anxiety'. Wants to rely on the experience of the IPL, ' We have not played many international T-20 matches, but IPL matches have standards as international T-20. Many of the best players in the world play there. And we have enough T-20 experiences. It is also true about the bowlers. We have many bowlers who played many IPL matches'.

Dhoni might be forgotten, First T -20 World Cup champions India could not reach even once in semifinal After the start of the IPL!

Pele is 'Treacherous' in Brazil!

Footballer Pele

Time to host the World Cup and have become the focus of world attention for one month. On the other hand to improve living standards for themselves. A portion of the common people of Brazil have chosen the last one between these two. 'No World Cup of a huge cost, Need to  improve the living standards of ordinary people' - The anti football World Cup society is managing this movement in Brazil. Even being in the opposite position of this movement footballer Pele is also being marked as a traitor.

The grievance not only against Pele, protesters also grow angry to Ronaldo the winning hero of 2002 World Cup. Pele is rolling as a goodwill ambassador of FIFA for the upcoming World Cup in Brazil.

Even Some people came up with the banners  " Pele- the traitor of the Century". Their claims were, The Brazilian government is failing to invest in transportation, healthcare and education sectors. But the government is going to organize the World Cup in a huge cost. For matching hands with this government a protester disgorge their anger on Pele and Ronaldo like, 'They were a remarkable footballer no doubt about it. But now they are alienated. It is very shameful that they are working for the government'. If the tournament won't be canceled, some of the protesters threatened to increase the movement further.

Tendulkar Currency!

Sachin Tendulkar

He retired some months ago. Do you think any furor has been dismissed about Tendulkar? If you think so, you are wrong! Still Indian people have the same emotion about Sachin Tendulkar!

Also after his retired a jewelry company is fomenting 'Tendulkar Mania'. This company is going to market a currency on this legendary name. The currency will be made of silver and approximately weight will be 200 grams. Tendulkar's name, face and signature will be engraved on this currency!

But this time the number of currencies are not so much. With respects the total test runs of Tendulkar 15 thousand and 921 currencies will be revealed. 

Kingdom of Ronaldo!

Cristiano Ronaldo

It's called the time! Nothing else, only feelings of joys for Christiano Ronaldo. Some days ago he won the Balon De oro. And now Portuguese winger of Real Madrid has won the throne of richest footballer and Ronaldo has pull backed Devid Beckham from this position. Now his total wealth is 12 million and 20 lakh pounds.

Last year Beckham was the first with 16 million and 50 lakh pounds. This year the list is listed without any retired footballer so Beckham goes out from this list.

Real Madrid didn't mistake!

Cristiano Ronaldo

Beating Levante by 3-0 Real Madrid has kept their top position in Spanish La Liga. On Sunday night Ronaldo was fulgent at their own field Bernabeu. Unclosing a goal he has also contributed for Real Madrid. In 11th minute he struck the first goal and forwarded Real Madrid. It was his 24th goal in the league and 38th goal in this session.

In the 49th minute Brazil left back Marcelo struck a goal from a pass by Ronaldo and Real Madrid forwarded by 2-0. In the 64th minute Levante became a team of 10 players. David Navaro was shown a red card to faul Ronaldo. In 81st minute the night became a nightmare for Levante for a suicidal goal by Nikos Karabelas.

Real Madrid were aware because last night Barcelona was beaten by Valladolid. From the beginning Los blancoses were aggressive to the opposition. In 5th minute Levante goal keeper Keylor Navas protected a voli by Ronaldo. After awhile of that time Ronaldo forwarded Real Madrid by a head.

Real Madrid gained 67 points playing 27 matches. As many matches Barcelona gained 63 points and holds the 3rd position. Atletico Madrid holds the 2nd position because they are ahead of Barcelona then 1 point.

First in Pakistan Cricket history!

Fawad Alam

Certainly he didn't know also about this record! Should have been not known. When he scored 100 by hitting a six of Thisara's balls in Asia Cup 2014 final, Fawad Alam opened a new door of a new record! In ODIs he is the only left handed batsman of Pakistan who scored 100 in other bating position except opening position! 

41 years, 830 matches, 32 centurions, total centuries 163. This is the ODI history of Pakistan cricket. What a surprise there was not any left handed Centurian batsman in other bating position without opening position before this final match. Pakistan inaugurated 11 February, 1973 against New Zealand in Christchurch. Pakistan got their first century on 31 August, 1974. Majid Khan made a thrilling century against England. He made 109 runs off 93 balls. It was an aggressive innings in that time. Wisden Cricketers' Almanack reported about this innings like as 'An innings of rare brilliance by Majid Khan.'  With Majid Khan another 31 centurions made 162 centuries for Pakistan. There are five left handed batsmen- Sayeed Anowar (20), Amir
Sohel (5), Nasir Jamsed (3), Asif Mujtaba (1), Imran Farhat (1). But they all made centuries in opening bating position. Except Mujtaba all are real opener,  Mujtaba played total 66 matches but he opened only 6 matches and he played as a middle order batsman in other matches. Mujtaba made 103 runs in 1993 against Sri Lanka as an opener.

When Fawad Alam made this historical century, he made it under a huge pressure. In that final Pakistan lost their 3 quick wickets. Fawad could target to his maiden century but he had to fight to stay in the crease. He didn't hurry, he didn't score any run from the first 11 balls. He had been steadfast to score a fighting score for Pakistan. And he was able to build it and also a historical century came out for him.

Afridi reveals again!

Shahid Afridi celebrates

Over a year Afridi was being failed to back in his form. But Afridi reveals again with some charismatic game playing. He is being also criticized for his disappointing performance for some days. But he has rejoined to those people who don't know about Afridi. He has come back in his charismatic form in Asia cup 2014.

Now you should know what he did in Asia cup 2014. In the 6th match against India he made 34 runs from 33 balls. Ok it might be not charismatic for Afridi, but when Pakistan needed 10 runs from 6 balls but there is only one wicket in hand though there is only a tellander batsman Junaid was with him. And there was a big fear that Junaid was in strike position in the first ball. Junaid took a single and gave strike to Afridi. But you know Afridi has a nerve to play this kind of shot that can reach Pakistan of a tremendous victory. And he did it. Afridi hited two consecutive sixes against Indian bowler Ashin and Pakistan won.

Let see what happened against Bangladesh in the 8th match. Bangladesh scored a huge total of 326 runs. Bangladeshi batsmen ruined Pakistani bowlers. Pakistan also started to chase a another highest total for their cricket history. When Afridi came to bat there was a huge difference between remaining balls and runs. Afridi did a another thrilling job. He scored 59 runs from only 34 balls. He scored it with 7 sixes and 2 fours. Actually it could be said that Bangladesh lost to not Pakistan but lost with Afridi. 

Messi can't overtop Maradona!

Maradona and Messi

Many people compare Messi with Maradona. But former footballer Hector Enrique of Argentina says Messi can't overtop Maradona! 

Hector Enrique the team member of 86 world cup winner Argentina has explained thus,' Messi is nothing like Maradona. I love Messi very much. I will be very happy if my son (Messi) plays some of his efforts. But Maradona was unrivalled.'

Enrique has praised about Messi but he showed the causes why Messi can't overtop Maradona like this,' No one can be like Maradona. Even Messi can't win the world cup three times or Messi can't goal from a bicycle kick from mid field. Messi and Maradona is two characters in the field they can't be same. Maradona increased confidence, he brought out best game for us. Inside of personality Messi is a good player but not like Maradona.'

Euro cup will be contested by 24 teams

Euro cup draw

In 1960 the first Euro championship was contested by only 4 teams. Gradually it increased, 8,16 and now it's 24. In 2016 it will be  contested by 24 teams. The qualifying draw took place at the Palais des Congres Acropolis in Nice on 23 February 2014. The big bulk of Euro cup would need to be overflowing but it turns into a controversy in the football world.

With 24 teams UEFA brought a big change in the tournament. Opera stretched across six nights on each “week of football”, from Thursday to Tuesday. Instead of 20 or 30 matches in a day 8 or 10 matches will be held. It was done as a profitable agreement with television channels. England football coach Roy Hodgson guessed the situation will be not good for the players. He said also to Sky Sports, 'I concerned for Thursday's matches. There will have matches on Sunday of Premier league. We can't practice before Tuesday. There won't have opportunity for preparation'.

Chris Colaman the coach of Welsh also remarked this kind of opinion. In this situation players can face injury more. He said also, ' When footballers come to play in the national team, then we remain very careful. Because we know they are not our players, we just borrow them from clubs. And we should send back them with fit'.

A defeat of sorrow that makes crying

Bangladesh lost

The 17th February 2014, the sky was changing as repeatedly, the first Shahara Cup 2014 ODI match between Bangladesh and Srli Lanka was changed as. At least its' colour become 'Blue', the sign of sorrow.

Here another similarity of blue, the jersey colour of the Sri Lanka cricket team is blue, and the whole dressing room of Bangladesh cricket team was covered with blue, which means sorrow. After two T20 matches this story becomes as 'near to be far'.

It was a query mark whether the match was started or not due to rain. Since last day afternoon the rain was parted from the afternoon and the sky become sunny. Though it ate nearly 2 hours from the schedule time of the match.

It was a tremendous similarity between the weather and the match.  Sun out after a rain and become sunny. The Bangladesh cricket team signed firstly and in the end was covered with cloud their all signs.

In 22nd over Sri Lanka scored 67 by 8 wickets. It was seemed the length of the match was going to be short as the match was reduced to 43 overs from 50 overs due to rain.

"He had three (concussions) when he was here with us. The last one he was out for six weeks."

"We did everything by the book and there are other agencies outside of the organization that assist players who are concussed."

Rennie is ruling in his third season at the back-to-back defending champions and expects  players need to be concussion free when they return to play.

He said also, "Each player is about rugby medication and everything that happens to a player during the year is tracked so it's certainly an area that is stringent within New Zealand rugby."

"Obviously we need him (Clarke) for our team and we hope he will come right soon".
