Finally, someone asks the right question (or so I think) - which is your favourite team - instead of asking which team you think will win. As we have seen so far, on their day, anyone can beat anyone. So while you can have a favourite team, but you can’t say which team you think […]
So far, it has to be the following statement by the commentator on ESPN during the Sweden vs Trinidad and Tobago game:
“The hopes of Trinidad and Tobago have been written off more times than the Mexican national debt”
Had me LMAO. Excellent game. Every other game so far pales in comparison - including the Germany vs […]
Just a few hours to go now for the World Cup to begin. I don’t know about you, but I find the hype rather stifling, and a little irritating. I quite like the previews and the info on the various teams, but going and asking just about every celebrity who they think will win is […]
I started watching football during the last World Cup, and since then I’ve heard several mentions of Maradona’s famous Hand of God goal. They all talk about it, but none of them show it. I’ve searched for it on p2p’s, found a kickass ManUtd vs Arsenal game, but no Hand of God clip.
Finally, YouTube comes […]
To repeat a cliche - Little knowledge is dangerous.
In today’s TOI, Siddharth Saxena comments on the Arsenal vs Barcelona game, and defends the referee, claiming that the criticism levelled against him is unwarranted because he was going by the rule book - given the challenge that Jans Lehmann committed againt Samuel Eto’o, the referrees decision […]
Each of the Hyundai sponsored WC coaches will have the teams slogan on it, voted for by fans. Surprisingly, for a sport with the largest fan base in the world, the slogans aren’t particularly inspiring.
Let’s take a hypothetical situation - it’s the 2050 world cup and India makes its first appearance in the finals, exactly […]
So we take a break and switch the TV on. India A is playing Pakistan A for the Eurasia Cup (cricket). The game is being shown is on Sahara Filmi, for some reason, and one really feels spoilt for choice with some of the more interesting commentators airing their views - Rameez Raja, Arun […]
For a sense of what this match means to both clubs, read Football’s Great Feud by Tim Adams in The Guardian.
What is usually a high intensity, high drama fixture, come Sunday, will probably end up as an exhibition of high quality football. In the past, passions have brimmed as players have pushed and shoved each […]
Having defended Kaif’s selection in the Indian Team for a few years now, I find this article by Rajan Bala in today’s Asian Age heartening.
(I’d also like to point out that The Asian Age has probably the worst designed newspaper site I’ve come across: the design is patchy, navigation javascript based, works only with IE […]
Anybody remember that NPower Cricket game that was a rage a few years ago? Well I rediscovered it, of all places, on my sisters laptop (she doesn’t like cricket, now that Jonty’s retired) and have been playing quite regularly - thiry to forty times a day, every time I take a break from studies, which […]
