Germans shine at South Africa 2010

After Paul the octopus played a very important role for Germans in the world cup it was high time that the young side put that to a side and really go into the frenzy and prove themselves as a posing side that will be a threat to many in the coming years.

Finishing third behind the finalist Spain and Holland, it’s a great show by the Young German team which has given this world cup some names for the future like M.Ozil, T.Muller and S.Khedira.

Though this world cup ends on a high for the Germans, J.Loew side will be a force in four years time for World Cup in Brazil and in two years time for the European Cup.

English Premier League at its best …

It seems like Chelsea are determined to get the ghosts of the last 3 seasons behind them and take the English Premier League title this season and that is what one took out from their performance against Sunderland today as they totally demolished them with a huge margin. Anelka twice, Lampard twice, Cole, Ballack and Malouda socred for the blues where as from Sunderland side old Chelsea favorite Zenden and Bent scored.

Manchester United also kept their hopes alive with a win at Burnley, with goals coming from Berbatov, Ronney and Diouf. On the other side Liverpool again fell victim to a late goal from Huth against Stoke City after leading for much of the 90 minutes thanks to a goal from defender Kyrgiakos.

All eyes will be set on the Manchester City and Everton match later tonight which is of grave importance for both the sides.

I love it when Chelsea lose :p

It’s not that i am a Manchester City fan but the plain thing is that i hate Chelsea and today they lost being the better team and being a team that played with flavor till they lost their temper … Tevez was the best player by far for me from City side.

On the other hand Cesc Fabrigas missed a penalty but yet the Gunners gunned down stoke in style. Arshavin and Ramsey scored good goals i hope the injuries curse leave us soon and we gun all the shitheads down and as usual Liverpool are screwed up 🙂

Trott-alicious!

After falling to brilliant piece of fielding effort from M. Katich in the first innings J. Trott made full use of the opportunity to make a name for himself in the histroy books with a century on debut and hand over Australia the dauting task of scoring more than 500 runs over the course of last two days of the fifth and final Ashes test.

Batting with confidence and style Trott made the Aussies sweat by making a 119 before falling pray to Clark. Many regarded this test to be remembered for being the last test of Freddie Flintoff but for me it should be remembered for Trott’s batting in both innings giving it more of a Trott-alicious flavor

A new season and a perfect start …

I know it’s a bit late to write this post about Arsenal’s new season heroics but still it’s never too late.The Gunners opened their account with a mesmerizing 6 – 1 victory at Everton and carried the form to become the first team in over 20 years to beat Celtic at their home ground in European football.

With a great new signing in the form of Vermaleen in the defence and most of the top players returning back from injuries the season is full of expectations and i have a firm believe they can do it this time around and get some silverware.

Arsenal Thinking Big

After hearing what i wanted to hear from the Arsenal camp a season ago they have finally managed it, “Adebayour is leaving”. Along with this the names that are linked in the transfer market that are Emirates Stadium bound are Lyon’s Karim Benzima and Bayern Munich’s Frank Ribery, both top priority of Manchester United and Real Madrid at the moment too.

While i think that Benzima might move to Emirates but clouds still hang over Ribery, other interesting name that is making news at the Emirates is Brazilian Ace Felipe Melo.

Although i wish that Ribery does not make it to Emirates but i want Karim Benzima to there because his left foot has a quality that i have yet to see in any French forward becuase of his uncanny ability of touch and long range shots which is what Arsenal requires at the front if they are to be any threat in the Barclays Premier League this coming season.

Standup for the Champians!

Atlast i can sleep today and with a great deal of satisfaction that my Pakistan cricket team has done what many people did not believe they would be able to achieve.

At the start of the T20 world cup the team totally looked out of sorts and lacked the team spirit but then some sensible leadership and the hunger for success and somewhat the conditions in Pakistan at the moment motivated them to a success that was last seen in the 50 over a side world cup in 1992 under the great Imran Khan.

Talking individually everyone played their part may it be Kamran Akmal, Younis Khan, Shoaib Malik, the young pace Muhammad Aamir or the veteran Abdur Razzaq, but for me the two stand out players were Shahid Afridi and Omer Gul.

This cup comes to Pakistan at a time the nation needed it the most and i’m glad that we have finally seen a ray of positive light after months of dark clouds of anger, anguish and idiotic mistakes of the past…

Pakistan march on to ICC T20 World Cup finals

After a miserable start to the ICC T20 World Cup in England, the green shirts have really pulled their socks and are just one match away from World Cup glory.

In the first semi-final Pakistan Beat the ever so impressing South Africa to confirm their “Chokers” lable and themselves move on to the final.

The Main architict of the victory was Shahid Khan Afridi who blew South Africa with the bat and the ball, with great death bowling from Umer Gul, Saeed Ajmal and a sensible over from young speedster Muhammad Aamir Pakistan prevailed The Proteas besides the heroics of Jacques Kallis.

With just one match to the cup glory i wish and pray this time the cup comes to Pakistan.

Kyun kai InshaAllah Yai Hamara Cup hai!

Afridi Assaults Oz at Dubai

The day Pakistan cricket got back into business after the Lahore Incident it was none other than BOOM BOOM AFRIDI who got his right game shoes on. He turned a match that was a start of many things in a memory that he would cherish certainly.

Australia Won the toss on a batting friendly wicket at the newly built Dubai Cricket Stadium which was holding its first One-Day international and had a sound start but could not muster the spin of Afridi and were out for a mere 168 in 38.5 over which Pakistani’s achieved with four wickets in hand and again with the bat Afridi had a quick fire innings rounding off a complete match performance for his team.
