Nemanja Vidic proved to be the unlikely hero, on a day when managerless Sunderland looked set to take points of United. His stoppage time goal ensured United kept pace with the top two. Ronaldo got a blow in his hips and had to be taken off, midway in the second half which saw United having more than 85% possession.

Cristiano Ronaldo hit the 100th goal of his glittering career at Manchester United as a "five star" United thrashed Stoke City and returned to winning ways in the Premier League. The silver lining for the Champions was the sublime strike of the 17 year old academy graduate Danny Welback. United were without Ferdinand and Rooney but their replacements were too hot for Stoke City whose goalie Sorensen had a miserable day.

Superman will not be heading down the same dark road to success as his comic book counterpart Batman. That is the message from Superman star Brandon Routh, who will soon be suiting up to play the iconic Man of Steel for the second time. And Routh insists that his Superman sequel will not be borrowing anything from the success of Christian Bales's Dark Knight blockbuster.
This post is intended for all those who doesnt know what an offside is in football. An offside as flagged when the attacking team member is ahead of the defence line of the opponent team. This offside rule is applicable only when the play is in the attacking half of the particular team. It is the linesmans job to call for offside and the referee in the pitch is not allowed to give offside decisions. It is a very common tactic for all the teams defence department to enforce offside trap to their opponents. Plenty of team coordination and communication is required as if even a single member of the squad fails to connect the offside trap, the team will be in real big trouble.
The recent form Indian cricket team is astonishing to see. It is good to see many playing their role perfectly in the ongoing series against Australia. Debutantes like Amit Mishra performed beyond expectation. Reverse swing is something which Indians done perfectly during the matches. Bowling with a scrambled seam worked for Indians while taking new ball, which made the ball, rough quickly and made reverse swing possible.
There are several intense and very fierce rivalry battles which are called as derby matches that happens across Europe. Some of the most intense and passion filled matches include the Merseyside derby, Manchester derby, Milan derby, Madrid derby, and many more.
Eventhough all matches have the same level of intensity and its almost impossible to predict a winner in these sort of match, I personally feel Milan derby is the pick of the lot. This is mainly because both of these teams are championship contenders unlike the other derbys in which one is a strong team and the other will be an average team.
The most recent Milan derby ended in favour of AC Milan with Ronaldinho scoring the solitary goal that made the difference.
More about the derby matches will be written in my next post.
Cheers
In today's football, whats more important? tactics or the ability of a player? If you look at english premier league its very obvious that games depend more on tactics than ability of a single player. Thats why we dont see the ronaldinhos, kakas, messis in English Premier League. If you see the other two leagues, Spanish and Italian, you will have some creativity in the moves and thats mainly beacause of ability of players like zlatan, kaka, del piero, messi and so on in their respective leagues.
Have your say. :)

Just writing those words makes you want to go back and check your facts, Robinho to Manchester City? Is that right? Was it all just a bad dream??? Does Robinho know what the hell he's let himself in for? Does Robinho even know where Manchester is?
Er, apparently not. After signing for Manchester City for a British record transfer fee of 32.5million pounds the Brazilian told reporters he was happy to be at City because he knew they were a "very big club."
But, even though Robinho might not know what he has let himself in for, one can safely say that after being taken over by one of the richest companies in the world, it is top ten finishing Manchester City who pulled off the biggest and most shocking transfer cop of them all.
Robinho had been Big Phil Scolari's number one transfer target all season, and even though Chelsea desperately put in a last ditch attempt to lure the playmaker to Stamford Bridge, it was Manchester City who beat them in the end, and its not often you can say that!
But it doesn't stop there, apparently City's manager Mark Hughes has been told he can bid 80million pounds each for some of the worlds biggest stars including; Messi, Kaka, Torres and Fabregas, with a renewed bid of 60 million for Berbatov - yes the world has gone mad!
He was never the same from the first game he played for Chelsea. He was unable to convert his chances to goals and something was clearly wrong. Initially it was thought the reason behind it was mainly due to the change in style from the Italian league to English league, but he was never able to adapt even after mid season. He was put in reserves and his carrier was taking a stinging blow at that point.
Football is the word given to a number of similar team sports, all of which involve (to varying degrees) kicking a ball with the foot in an attempt to score a goal. The most popular of these sports world-wide is association football, also known as "soccer" and most commonly just "football". The English language word "football" is also applied to gridiron football (which includes games like American football and Canadian football), Australian rules football, Gaelic football, rugby football (rugby league and rugby union), and related games. Each of these codes (specific sets of rules, or the games defined by them) is referred to as "football".
These games involve:
* two teams of usually between 11 and 18 players. ("Six-man" and "eight-man" football are also played in less-populated parts of the United States).
* a clearly defined area in which to play the game;
* scoring goals and/or points, by moving the ball to an opposing team's end of the field and either into a goal area, or over a line;
* the goal and/or line being defended by the opposing team;
* players being required to move the ball—depending on the code—by kicking, carrying and/or hand passing the ball; and
* goals and/or points resulting from players putting the ball between two goalposts.
In most codes, there are rules restricting the movement of players offside, and players scoring a goal must put the ball either under or over a crossbar between the goalposts. Other features common to several football codes include: points being mostly scored by players carrying the ball across the goal line and; players receiving a free kick after they take a mark/make a fair catch.
Peoples from around the world have played games which involved kicking and/or carrying a ball, since ancient times. However, most of the modern codes of football have their origins in England.

Cristiano Ronaldo made the Footballing world take a look at him in the 2006-07 season with his performance for Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo - a name that has been coming daily on the front pages. All the talk has been about his possible move to Realmadrid. And this talk started from the day Ronaldo told a Spanish Television that he was sure of his future at United and he dreamt of a move to Realmadrid. Incidentally this was just a few days before the "Champions League Finals". So was he planning to leave United for sometime now, the answer has to be "YES". Who would talk like this just before a huge "Final" that too being the crucial player of the team. Ronaldo might give reasons to leave Manutd as "He has won everything possible with Manchester" but had United lost the Champions League final, the reason would have been that he wants to win Champions League so he wants to move.
But his preferred destination, Realmadrid have failed to cross the group stages for the past 4 years. Initially it was rumoured that his agent Jorge Mendes was the man behind Ronaldo's ambition to move as he would get a handsome amount from the huge transfer fee. But those were quashed when it was revealed that Mendes wanted Ronaldo to remain at Manchester United. Some reports say the reason behind is the failure of United to offer a new improved contract than his current £120,000 a week deal. While few reports say Ronaldo had made up his mind in December that United were going to win everything and he had asked his agent to work on a move to Spanish capital. But his desire may be also due to the fact that his mother is an ardent Realmadrid fan.
And as the Euro was approaching there were all sorts of talk about Ronaldo. And his mom told that his son would stay at United this season. But Ronaldo kept quiet. And after a not so successful Euro he made his intentions clear that he wants a move. But United were never going to sell him. It was reported that United along with Nike were going to offer Ronaldo £200,000 a week deal. Nike too wanted him to stay as his move to Real would mean Adidas will be the sponsor. The sponsorship battle went to the extent that Barcelona, who are sponsored by Nike were asked by the sportswear giant to bid for Ronaldo.
Realmadrid actually need a player in his position. Though that might in the minds of Schuster, the board member's thoughts would have been on the fan follow Ronaldo had developed. It was estimated that Realmadrid would make about £500 million if Ronaldo comes. But now after his surgery all directions point towards "Ronaldo's stay at Old Trafford". But god only knows what is coming!!!!!!!!

He scored the first and setup the other two goals as the German out powered the Portugese. Joachim Loew, who was given an one match touchline ban saw his team play effective football and come up triumph in the knock out stage. This defeat ends Scolari's reigns as Portugal manager as he moves to Stamford Bridge. Now the focus of the field totally will be on Ronaldo as he is set to announce his future.

Italy survived the group of death and marched into the last 16. France had a forgettable match as they conceded a penalty, got a player sent off , their star man Ribery getting injured also his replacement Nasri getting injured.

Luiz Felipe Scolari on Wednesday was announced as the next manager for Chelsea and the news comes within days of Scolari saying that he would talk about the issue after the ongoing Euro championship. Chelsea fans were jubilant on the announcement and they have reasons to be happy as the Big Phil is known for his shrewd man management skills and has the ability to deal with Big names in Chelsea. While the fans of the Blues were happy, Portuguese fans and media are upset with the news. The most important factor has been the timing of the announcement as they all feel it would shake up the morale of the team which has been doing well in the Euro. And the team cancelled the training and press meet on Thursday to avoid unnecessary attention on the coach.
Scolari has all the credentials to be a hit at Stamford Bridge but the Premiership will be a stern test to him. One of the key Chelsea players Ricardo Carvalho, who was talking about his desire to play under Jose at Inter said he was shocked on hearing the news and added that he will take the club forward and that he was looking forward to playing under his current national team coach at club level. Most of the football experts have said that Chelsea have made the right call and only time will tell if the Big Phil can deliver in England.
Portugal continued their good run as they beat the Czech Republic 3-1 and stormed into the quarterfinal stage. Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal of the tournament with a strike in the 61st minute. And the Turks broke the Swiss hearts as they came from a goal behind and edge the co-hosts in injury time.
