The Best Of SPORTS

Hi everyone.....


I dont think any of you give a damn about the World Series Hockey but according to Wiki....." WSH became the first hockey tournament ever to live stream all the matches online on Google's video and music sharing site YouTube " Also Sher-e-Punjab became the first crown holders after winning 5-2 vs Pune Strykers....! 


I consider it wise to keep the Hockey section as short as possible as i dont want to lose any of my readers!!


The Emperor of Entertainment has arrived- the Indian Premier League......and it initiated with a clash bw two mighty teams - Chennai Superkings vs Mumbai Indians (only after a weird looking Katy Perry shook her vocal chords and other body parts)- the two IPL teams with topmost brandvalue.....it was not much of a contest and the Chennai localites must have been disappointed to see their home team crumble at mere 112.....The MI did hardly anything wrong in the successful chase......the only disappointment being The Cricket Maestro getting retired hurt at 15.... I am looking forward to a great performance by the spinner Pragyan Ojha this season......


The second match KKR vs Delhi Daredevils saw the wrath of Gods and was reduced to a 12 over game......KKR continues to disappoint in IPL with a devastating batting performance......a score of 97 might not look bad in 12 overs to you but only as long as you dontknow that they lost 9 wickets in achieving that!! The less star studded DD finished the job only at the cost of two wickets and with five balls to spare.....Irfan Pathan starred in the chase with a 42run knock off 20 balls and bagging the man of the match award......


The UEFA Champions League saw no surprises with the Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Chelsea moving into the semis.....the only team facing some real resistance were the Blaugranas  against AC Milan who had held them at a goalless in the Milan home but failed to pull a magical away win at Camp Nou and so FC Barcelona kept their record of being unbeaten at home since October 2009!! The best of action is yet to come with Bayern Munich taking on Mourinho's team...frankly speaking i dont know which is preferable-- an aggressive Real Madrid vs Barca in the finals or Barca facing the German Club in its own den (MUNICH) !! Frankly speaking I do not think Chelsea should be much of any hinderance in Barca's path to a consecutive second year UEFA Final !! 


Some people cant digest Milan's defeat at hands of the European Champions of last season and continuously point at refree's faulty penalty award to Barca in the second leg......i wonder why cant these people look at the game stats of 60-40 ball possession or number of attempts on target 8-1 .....the only figures AC milan excelled in the match was the number of yellow cards - SEVEN vs Barca's two !!.......I believe a few more minutes of play and the entire team would be carrying a yellow card each ......something like an ID or Admit card!! 


Lionel Messi made a record of highest number of goals in a single UEFA Champions tournament and is currently sitting on 14 with at least two games for him! RESPECT!!


I dont watch Formula one races but i do become aware when some German chauffeur like Sebastian Vettel raises his middle finger at any Indian.....the Germans continue to show their attitude and superiority like they did on their path to devastation during WW-I and WW-II.....Some people never learn! It gives me pleasure to see him waiting for his first win of this season after his last season's dominance..... 


Though i must tell you that Narain Kartikeyan did collide with Vettel causing him to lose several points......! :P


Jai Hind!
