Wigan Athletic Football Club made a history in itself by entering into the FA cup final for the first time in their cup history of 81 years by defeating Championship side Millwall at Wembley. The victory is even special for them looking at the 2-0 margin they managed to lead with. Wigan was very much in control during the whole game and scored one goal before and after the lunch session taking their team to a historic final. First goal was fired by Maloney at 25th minute while second one was netted by McManaman at 78th minute. It was rather a bad day for Millwall coz they could never match the speed and stamina shown by Wigan’s men. However, the match is also remembered for crowd violence during the last moments of the match by Millwall fans which became uncontrollable by security personnel. Many fans were shown fighting with each other including crying pictures of a girl who was pleading for everyone to stop. However, many fans were also trying to stop all the nonsense happening on … [Read more...]
Zinedine Zidane buys a major stake in a local French Football Club
How Zinedine Zidane, who has been a known French international player during his regime, treats his wife is again proven when he took a major stake in a local French club his wife is interested in. Notably, the club he just bought exclusively for his wife is not a big club nor it has any big soccer name, and furthermore the club was almost reaching its liquidation, so is a major investment out of personal money worthy on such a club? Yes, if your wife wants it, this is what Zidane thinks about his new purchase. Now, when men treat their wife / girlfriend as worthy only for chocolates and pastries, he has set an example whereby he can do both: serve his favorite game and cool his wife. However, it is not confirmed as of now that whether he will be a part of club’s day to day activities or he will just be the think tank behind club’s major decisions, but anyway, it is a great attempt to cherish his association with soccer by buying a club which was almost dying. Zidane, now 40, … [Read more...]
Alex Ferguson is again in clash with Mancini
In less than twenty four hours, United’s manager Ferguson is again found combating with a known soccer personality. This time the heat is fueled by City boss Roberto Mancini who recently said that other teams are not able to defeat United not because they are better, but since other teams play with a fear of facing United’s army in the field. His comments are again rubbished by Ferguson saying it is a bit of self-sympathy by City manager; perhaps he called it a nonsense reaction for not being on the top. He also gave an example of 1996 when no team could try as hard as United did to beat then title rivals Newcastle. Though, he also agrees on the fact that some matches he saw were not as trying by the opponents as they should be, so he calls it lack of a will rather a fear of facing United. Earlier, Mancini said before Monday’s clash that “No one player plays very well against United because they play with fear. “Because United have an importance as a team and a club, every team that … [Read more...]
Champions League Semi Final Line Up: Barcelona could play Real in the Finals
What could be the dream end to Champions league this season? It would be if Messi and Rolando play against each other in the finals. Even destiny is in its favor that is why both these teams are kept apart from facing each other in the semis itself. Bayern will play with Barcelona in the first semi while Dortmund will clash with Ronaldo’s men in the second semifinal of the series. In fact, this would not be the first time when Ronaldo and Messi will be in front of each other in the Champions league’s final, coz Ronaldo was in the United’s team when they met with Barcelona and Messi back in 2009 Champions league final, but he was rather unknown that time. Now, things have changed completely, Ronaldo has transformed into what he is today and so is the Messi, so it is perhaps the greatest entertainment package for fans across the world if these two contemporary starlets face each other in the mega finals at Wembley. Out of the four semifinalists, both Real and Barca are attacking … [Read more...]
Messi presence helps Barca to advance to Champions League semi-finals
Messi – the name is enough. Against all the expectations, star Argentinian took part in the clash between Barcelona and PSG, though as a substitute, and helped his club end in a draw. Actually, the worth of Messi can easily be understood with the fact that he did not fire any goal nor hit any shot to the post yet only his presence was more than anything else on the field. His tons of fans were waiting for their star throughout the game, and in 61st minute, they could finally see him entering into the ground as substitute. Before match, there were no indications about his participation in this match hence everyone was a bit of skeptical whether they would be able to see him or not. Moreover, when he did not join the morning warm up, it was pretty sure that he would not be a member of the team for this match – at least, but he again surprised everyone by being a part of this game. PSG had an edge during the game; perhaps they took the initial lead as well and it was then feared that … [Read more...]
