Euro Championship

Here is the answer for the question WatchIndia.TV posted on their Facebook account

Michel Platini

 It is Michel Platini, one of the greatest symbols of the French Football who scores the 119th-minute winner in the 3-2 semi-final victory against Portugal - one of the most famous goals in the history of the UEFA European Championship. The Game was on the Euro Championship 1984

KKR winning of the IPL

KKR&SRK

Now, as i write this post the celebrations in Eden Garden is going on. Mamta Banerjee , the Chief Minister of Bengal is welcoming the Knight Riders in their entrance to the "City Of Joy", Kolkata.

Bengali people are well known for being Sport lovers and for this day they have an amazing reason to celebrate after Kolkata Knight Riders has won the 2012 IPL.

Shah Rukh Khan who is the owner of the team at the moment is dancing on the stages where the Cup will be presented to the audience.

Kolkata which these days suffer from a non-stable economic situation has a one day relief. This fact might explain the over enthusiastic mode of the mass which want to take part in the celebrations. The spirits getting to high to be control and the situation is getting a bit chaotic and violent.
    
You could say that SRK stole some of the fame and glory meant for the players themselves but one must admit that SRK was totally committed  to the success of the team all along the way. He has contributed so much to the Cricket sport in India apart of his commitment for the Knight Riders.

Black Clouds over The Cricket skys

Yuvraj Singh 

Black clouds are floating above the Indian Cricket. Black clouds loaded with heavy rain ready to wash out the dirt that has been brutally entered  into the Indian Cricket aiming to demolish all those beauty things it represents. Just few weeks ago we all were witnessing one of the most incredible and heroic fights that a man can actually face with i.e fighting cancer. The last Mohican, on the cricket figures that is Yuvraj singh has exhibited all the qualities we’d expected from Sportsman to have.  It was an extraordinary example for a man who Overcoming  his darkest fears. It was a one man performance  of a man who never surrendered to  the fatigue enfolded in the illness which constantly ambush ,waiting for a tiny crack in optimism.

Yuvarj Singh showed us what a strength is all about – This is a cricketer!
Lately, we have started running after our tail –from one controversy straight to the other…
All of them manifest exactly the opposite of those qualities Yuvarj Singh had demonstrated in the most important challenge in his life! People selling games – comman (I’m getting pissed of here cos Yuvraj singh’s images running through my mind while I’m writing these lines)!!!

Those guys are Spitting all over the dignity sports Man must manifest as an example for others.
Not to mention the impact it has on all of us cricket fans now can’t anymore trust nothing!
Tomorrow the playoffs begin but who can guarantee that teams which qualified there truly got coz the effort and talents. The only image I can see in my mind now is some dark alley where men hiding their faces exchanging money from hand to hand some showings and threats followed by load laughs and then quiet again..in the alley. The day somebody “happens” to miss a shot right at the crucial moment of the match- wasn’t it something we saw often this IPL season?

You can accuse me of being paranoid but being paranoid doesn’t say that I’m wrong. I don’t want to make idealization to Yuvraj Singh but could you imagine him there on that alley?
Another black cloud floating over our cricket sky is the in the shape of Cricketers hanging out, parting swimming in alcohol pools and drugs without being judgmental it is just won’t appropriate  for sports man to keep this kind of lifestyle. Am I wrong? Trust me I’m not being naive many sportsmen are getting wild at nights – well it doesn’t make it right.

If it would be end up with parting you could say – that’s their thing – no one  will accuse them for being pro’s. but to get advantage of women bu using the status and power  that’s a spitting again on the faces of those who love cricket!

Well fox…let’s end in that optimist note and wish you all GREAT PLAYOFFS- hopefully SRK won’t act his way  inside the court  and make some high volume ultra-emotional  Devadas scenes towrds the judge, police, players audience..

Cricket Drama

Again two matches got into the dramatic zone! This time it was Mumbai VS. Bangalore and Chennai VS. Kolkata. What's happening this season in the IPL? So many close matches along the entire season - did you notice that? 

The two matches last night also fell straight into the IPL Drama zone which has become a trade mark for this IPL season,

especially the game between Chennai and Kolkata whose result was unclear till the very last ball!! Who would have imagined that Dhoni's boys would beat SRK's team?? 

Also, the other match between Mumbai and Bangalore went down to the wire! There, the epic battle between Harbhajan Singh and Virat Kohli didn't fail to deliver high adrenaline moments - it was a true test of spectator nerves - viewing was ABSOLUTELY NOT recommended to those with weak hearts!

  

By the way - Mumbai won.

Sachin Tendulkar runs to politics

Sachin Tendulkar

The "Master Blaster" that is of course Sachin Tendulkar has been nominated to the Indian Parliament. For his fans this move is considered to natural. After the King has been ruling the Cricket arena for such a long time and has done everything that is possible to imagine and beyond over the grassy court now it is time move on. For many people his decision to get into politics brings hope in terms leadership values. 

Sachin Tendulkar is the first active sportsperson to enter the Rajya Sabha, which also has nominated distinguished artists, poets and Bollywood actors.

Now we all want to see him maintaining his moral values exactly the same as he was when we fell in love with him on the pitch!

Good Luck and many eyes will always will be held towards you!

Real VS Bayern

Last night Real Madrid lost to Bayren Minchin 1:2. 

Maybe next week they will lose again in the Santigo Bernabeu.  

This line is a metaphor for the first line of Alber Kami’s masterpiece “The Stranger”. The dark book is reflecting my dark feelings when I think of Real’s last night performance.  

What is the point of playing football? I’ve asked myself last night after the game. 

Real Madrid Vs. Bayren 

What is the point of supporting Real Madrid, if they are playing football without the “spirit” – you know… the winning spirit?

 Yep, I got myself into the existential mode after the game, namely so many question came to my mind starting with:” WHAT IS THE POINT?”

Before I have decided to stop supporting Real Madrid Club permanently and to move on to another team (You know i'm joking right?)  few moments of glory, came to my mind -all from from the history of the club. 

 Moments that symbolized the “being winners no matter what!” spirit. Moments that this club is so proud at.

Exactly the same spirit that we could hear out of Raul after the lost 5-0 to Barcelona:

"Real Will never play defensively even if we know this will lead to our defeat. We are not that kind of team!”

Where was that spirit gone last night?

We could blame Morinyo that would be the easiest option. Because its easy we’ll stick to it. As Bart Simson out it brilliantly: "if its too hard to do it... than it's just not worth it..” 

Thanks Bart  for the insight..and therefore  Morinyo  you are the one to blamed – not for the failure last night, not because the team wasn’t ready but simply cos lack of spirit!

For us the spirit is – WE ALWAYS WIN !

Yuvraj Singh Speaks at the first time since he returned

Yuvraj Singh came back to India after 3 months in USA where he was receiving a medical treatment for his cancer disease. Today he has conducted his first media interview expressing his wishes to get back to the game as soon as he can. In the press conference he shared his gratitude to all the people who supported him all along the rough time he was going though.
I am so glad Yuvi is back and wishing us all to get to see him as soon as possible dressed in BLUE!
