The Olympic games is on and the world is watching. If you are away from home or anywhere you cannot get access to a TV, Then this will work just fine for you. Personally, I don't have to run home just to watch my favorite sport during this period or ever. All I usually do is get my pc on and log in through this link: http://tinyurl.com/cx68o6p<br />

The Spurs striker had to leave for home after hearing the news of his cousin's death.<br />
<br />
Hannah Defoe was reported dead while she was on holiday at St Lucia.<br />
<br />
The news of the striker leaving the camp was officially announced on their website and every member of the team sends their condolences to the family of Defoe.Christopherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13078645622336266996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6675662728244580923.post-15373555578349872122012-07-26T14:23:00.000-07:002012-07-26T14:23:51.701-07:00Manchester United Boss (Mancini) Frustrated And Blames The Failure of Not Being Able to Sign Van Persie Into The Team<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Recently when Mancini was asked a question about the inability of the club to sign Van persie of Arsenal into Manchester United, he blamed the failure on Marwood.<br />
<br />
I understand that Manchester have made personal offer to Robin Van Persie but another team seem to be more interested and they have offered him more. This team happens to be Juventus. Mancini feels that Manchester should be at the top when it comes to wages and for that reason he is pissed that Manchester could not close the deal with Van Persie.Christopherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13078645622336266996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6675662728244580923.post-63639759882427796592012-05-23T10:10:00.000-07:002012-05-23T10:10:23.868-07:00Champions League Highlight: Chelsea Vs.

English football’s much beloved darling is expected to return to these shores when his contract at LA Galaxy expires this winter. Common consensus suggests that, provided his fitness can be vindicated, the captain’s armband awaits him.<br />
<br />
To include Beckam in the squad seems tempting. He is, after all, heralded from the very territory in which the Olympic stadium now stands. We could happily indulge a fond farewell to the golden boy, a fitting tear-jerker to pay homage to an ambassador who brought the Games to London. The resulting back-page jingoism would certainly make for a fine Olympic souvenir.<br />
The glorified encore, though, an exercise in sycophancy and a concession to sentimentality, would be of little benefit.<br />
<br />
The shadow of Beckam would surely loom large over the squad. His aura of celebrity and the accompanying paparazzi would reintroduce the aforementioned press attention. An unwelcome distraction, the inevitable media carnival would only hinder the squad’s capacity to focus on the task at hand.<br />
Needless to say, of course, that the weight of Brand Beckam will also be a valuable marketing asset to the Games of the XXX Olmpiad. Naïve are those who believe that Beckam’s likely inclusion will be decided by the manager alone. What kind of lesson does this send to Britain’s young footballers?<br />
<br />
More important than any of this, though, is the fact that there are plenty of eligible players who would offer more in a competitive sense. Of the over-23 brigade likely to be excluded from the Euro’s, Jonathan Woodgate, Phil Neville, Paul Robinson, Joe Cole and Danny Murphy, to name but a handful, all represent better choices. England ought to be teaching young players that merit alone is the sole arbiter of selection for the national team.<br />

Obviously, this serves as a possible sticking point for any team who desire David Beckham’s multi-service, let alone Paris Saint-Germain. In addition, Beckham has made no secret of his desire to return to the Premier League. A sporting director role at his beloved Manchester United has been mooted, whereas Tottenham Hotspur and Queens Park Rangers are said to be interested in adding Beckham to their respective squads.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Reports suggesting that David Beckham is poised to join Paris Saint-Germain are premature.

Since the arrival of Pep Guardiola as coach, Xavi has scored 6 goals in the treble winning season, 3 in the next two seasons and his 3 so far this year – his best ever start to a year.<br />
<br />
Poacher, chip and header<br />
<br />
Xavi has got his goals in a variety of ways this season, with a classic poacher’s strike at Anoeta after a pass from Alexis Sánchez, a lovely chip at the Camp Nou in the 8-0 win over Osasuna and his header on Saturday from Pedro’s cross.<br />
<br />
Three goals in the last two seasons<br />
<br />
Xavi has thus equalled his goal tally from the last two seasons in just the first couple of months of this year’s league campaign. Last year he scored in the 1-5 win over Espanyol, the 1-3 win at San Mames and the 5-0 thrashing of Real Madrid at the Camp Nou. In the 2009/10 season, he scored against Valladolid (1-3), Villarreal (1-4) and at home to Getafe (2-1). In neither season, nor in the previous two, did he manage to score in the first seven games.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arsène Wenger believes that Robin van Persie's commitment to Arsenal was encapsulated by his performance against Sunderland.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Dutchman used his programme notes to reaffirm his allegiance to the Club and went on to score the goals that secured a vital 2-1 victory. Van Persie's manager had nothing but praise for his captain when he spoke to Arsenal Player after the game.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"There is no better way [to show your commitment to the Club]," said Wenger.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"People speak about the length of contracts but what you want from a player, as long as he is at the Club, is to give absolutely 100 per cent. On that front you cannot fault Robin. He is committed, every day he is focused in training, and I am pleased that he got two goals again.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"It was a special moment from Van Persie to win the game but overall I was pleased with the team performance," Wenger added.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I think when we got back to 2-1 we wanted to protect our goal but we looked quite comfortable and I must say the central defence was strong. Mertesacker goes from strength to strength and Koscielny had a very good game."</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arsène Wenger’s side have started their European campaign brightly with four points from their opening two fixtures and will look to continue their unbeaten run when they travel to Marseille on Wednesday night.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last season the Gunners won their opening three matches in the Group Stage before eventually finishing second in the table to set up a last-16 encounter with eventual champions Barcelona.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“It must be our aim to win the group, especially after what happened to us last year when we were not top of the group,” he said. “In the last three games we messed up.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Marseille are a direct contender for us who would like to qualify from the group as well.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“It’s a big game and we want to be successful there. It looks like it will be between us, Dortmund and Marseille so it will be a vital game for us.”</span><br />

A win was just all the supper eagles needed to qualify for the Nations cup but unfortunately ended in a draw (Nigeria 2:Guinea 2). this unfortunate match for the Nigerians has cost them the opportunity of participating in the Nations cup. This is the first time in history after 25 years that Nigeria would not be playing at the Nations cup.Christopherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13078645622336266996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6675662728244580923.post-40353551458509695872011-10-02T05:52:00.000-07:002011-10-02T06:07:01.641-07:00You Are Welcomefootball is a universal game with a world wide attention and is loved by many people. football is a game that has been able to gather one of the greatest number of people in a place. it's a game that cuts across various tribes and religions and has been able to unite so many race probably with no conscious effort.
