Euro 2008


So finally the much awaited European championship made a grand entrance at the world stage in all its glory and i enjoyed the games pretty much...so far so good..With no British team good enough to qualify for this event and France looking out of sorts, I feel Portugal will win the tournament by defeating Spain in the finals. The four expected semi finalists will be France,Germany,Portugal and Spain.

The tournamanet would definitely miss the pesence of England. As one of the biggest nation in world football, Englands absence would affect the tournament financially.Never the less, I still think that it would be a great tournament.

The only other worrying factor in the Euro 08 could be the defensive tactics practised by the teams oflate, which can ruin any viewers day (including mine). The previous dull edition of EURO 04 and the dismal UEFA champions league (including the final) are making me vary of this edition.Will this time it would be any different? Only time will tell. I hope i am proved wrong.

Plz don go.....

Test cricket's legendary bowler, Shane Warne retired from international competition after the Ashes 2006, thus marking the end of the most glamorous and controversial carrers in the sports glorious history. I think Shane Warne is the grestest cricketer ever (from the time i am watching and following cricket) and it was the perfect retirement party for the showman who made is debut against India way back in January 1992. To take 1000+ wickets in both the versions of the game is simply breathtaking and salute to your versatility, skills, hardwork, mental strength and flexibility. This once-in-life time champion will continue to inspire a generation of kids to take up the art of leg spin. Thanks Warne for giving us everything you could ever give and in the process entertaining millions worldwide and i was privileged enough to watch ur flippers, zooters, wrong uns with bated breath. i just wish u were an Indian !!!

Fate had other ideas...

At the end of the 90 th minute, we had only one deserving winner …. As far as Germany is concerned their razor sharp attack at the front proved to be the decisive factor in the game…and the way they are playing now,  they can go very far in the tournament… As far as FIFA is concerned, it’s high time that they start taking help of TECHNOLOGY and shed their orthodox inhibitions….That was a CRIMINAL in such a crucial encounter…LAMPARD indeed scored….FISH.. As far as England goes, I wonder how come the same set of players can play so sublime football for their respective clubs and at the same time can dish out such a DISASTER for their country. TIME TO INTROSPECT! And as far as I am concerned, the world cup is almost over for me…and along with it it’s time to get a HAIR CUT, very patiently grown for the last 4 months in support of my team… p.s. Wayne Rooney, I hate Manchester United but I stood by you and by your pathetic performance till the end….Now, I hate you 2…..try playing...
