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'.

T-20 Cricket World Cup 2014: Worry-free India, Endangered Australia

T-20 Cricket World Cup 2014
If someone had said before the tournament starts, Australia will be looking at Bangladesh for playing in semi-final. George Bailey certainly looked with incredible eye! The team came up with it one of the favorites for the title. But they have lost two consecutive matches and reached on the edge of the shaft. Bailey's team now, so have to really look on Bangladesh!

Then on 1st April, Pakistan - West Indies match will be the unofficial 'quarter-final'! The winning team of that match will be India's partner of this group in semi final.

If Bangladesh will win, a little bit of hops will alive for Australia. Then Australia will be looking to win their remaining two matches and also it depends on Pakistan - West Indies match.  If Pakistan will win that match then the calculation will come  of run rate.

This difficult equation is not unknown to Australia, Bailey has persuaded the day before yesterday after losing against West Indies, 'We have not yet calculated, However, I realize that the situation has become much harder for us. Before the start of the tournament we thought a defeat maybe not too much damage. But now I am not sure will we able to manage the loss of two defeats or not'.

Australia is now uncertain to play in the semi final, however, India is now worry free to play in the semi final. After South Africa - New Zealand tour and due to the failure of the Asia Cup India team were not favorite branded in T-20 Cricket World Cup 2014. However, IPL scandals rocked the Indian cricket.

Title dreams stumbled of Real Madrid

Real Madrid lost
Real coach Carlo Ancelotti said before El Clasico, 'Who will be the champion, will ensure that the last match of the season'. But the Real's points are still at the top of the table then. 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!
