Fifa World Cup 2010 Champions : Spain

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

SPAIN-VICTORY-HERO-ANDRES-INIESTA

Spain were crowned the Fifa World Cup 2010 champions after they defeated the Dutch team 1-0 in extra time. The ill tempered game saw 14 yellow cards, 1 red car, 1 karate kick and only one Andres INIESTA goal to seal the latest winners. This is the first time the Spaniards have won the world cup while also being  the current European Champions.

Spain is also the first team to lose the opening World Cup game and to go on and win the top prize. For me this World Cup has been poor. Poor with the standard of football, its been a tactical World Cup. Teams came out looking to tactically neutralize their opponents and to snatch to one or two goals to take them through.

With the exception of the South American and Germany, others we poor. There were not many moments of brilliance, top players failed to shine and the lesser known came out tops. Have a look at the top goal scorers, Diego Forlan,Mueller,Sneidjer,Villa and Higuain.

Jambulani made lots of headlines because the ball was very different , call it high tech but some players who were not hitting the high notes HATED it! The top goal scorers…No Complains.

It was a decent final, not the best but South Africa did a brilliant job in hosting the games and till Brazil 2014, Adios! :)

Roy Hodgson is the New Liverpool FC Manager

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

RoyRoy Hodgson has been confirmed as the new manager of Liverpool FC. The former Fulham FC manager, takes over from Rafa Benitez who has since moved to Inter Milan. Ironically, Roy too was a former manager of Inter Milan and has a list of clubs and international teams that he has managed during his career.

Personally i was hoping for Kenny Dalglish to take over the helm but the management has decided to go with the former manager who lead Fulham to the Europa Cup finals and a respectable 7th place in the Premier League.

My biggest problem has been the lack of passion shown by the players and the over reliance on foreign talent which never allowed the true RED passion come forward. Roy is a English man and more over his wife is from the town should reinstate the missing passion back into the team.

I hope that Roy brings stability into the team, brings back the desire and pride to wear the Liverpool crest on the shirts into the players and pushes the club forward. Its not going to be easy but im optimistic.

The coaching staff is surely going to have a overhaul and hopefully the team too. There are too many redundant players in my view which need to be removed, Some minor tweaking to new additions and hopefully some new faces from the Youth academy are given the opportunity to step up.

This is going to be a very interesting season and i cant wait already!

All the best Roy Hodgson and You’ll Never Walk Alone.

Head on the the Official Website for the latest news updates and press conference which is due later today.

Video Technology For Football?

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

After England’s tragic crash out of the World Cup 2010, the excuse that is flying around is that if there was video technology the outcome of the game would have been very different.

Yes! say what you want but if you asked me, i say there should NOT be video technology in football. Why? Incidents like this is why the beautiful game is the beautiful game. It can happen to absolutely anyone. The best referee’s make mistakes! If players who are paid millions can win tournaments and pay perfect games, what are you expecting off referee’s who mostly have full time jobs.

Remember this one? (more…)
