BRAZIL INTO THE FINALS OF THE CONFEDERATIONS CUP

                                       

Hey guys!! Brazil once again proved their name why they have won the WC five times, after beating the fellow Latin America rivals Uruguay at the Maracana stadium in Rio to take revenge of the 1950 WC final which was again hosted by this stadium.

                                   

The early part of the game was dominated by Uruguay eventually winning a penalty but it was Julio Cesar who came to Brazil's rescue then saving the penalty cheered by more than 60,000 fans present at the historic stadium.

After keeping the ball for most of the time during the first 45 minutes of playing, it was The Sambas who broke the deadlock and again Fred was the scorer. Surely,for this he wears the Brazil No. 9. From three minutes of the start of the second half, Uruguay struck back and this time Napoli striker Edinson Cavani was the scorer with a brilliant left foot finish.Score 1-1 to both.

                           

               

Brazil then went on to dominate the possession in the second half and their constant goal threat bore fruits in the 88th minute when the beautiful curling corner by Neymar was headed on by midfielder Paulinho putting the scoreline in favour of Brazil 2-1. It was a sigh of relief for 'Big Phil' known as Luiz Felipe Scolari as they displayed their popular rythmic style of playing to a great extent.

Here is the highlights for those who have missed this great football match

NADAL OUT OF WIMBLEDON

                           
                                       

                                       

Oh!My God!! Nadal is out of Wimbledon 2013.Can you believe this??

                                                But this is true

It's the first time ever Spanish ace Rafael Nadal is out in the first round of any Grand Slam. Nadal was given a tough fight by Belgian Steve Darchis. The world no. 135 defeated the former champion by 7-6, 7-6, 6-4.
                         

           
                                   
Until monday, he was the only player who have held a no.1 spot and can claim such a record. He appeared unwilling to slide on his knees and in his final set appeared to be limping.
                                                                 

So, Nadal fans, don't loose your hope.Next time he will be back with a lot of spirit within him.

Spain vs Brazil ! Which will bring home the CUP??

World cup is just knocking at the door with just 1 year away and then the world's most awaited tournament will start its miracle at Brazil.Those chanting of the teams,roaring of the fans, shivering moments in the stadium,whistling song all over......oh my god i cant wait! Can you?

But here i want to discus about two teams. Two teams that are from different continents from different culture but plays the same simple game that is football. Yup, am talking about Brazil and Spain. Both the teams are considered to be the juggernauts of the game and both have history behind them.So lets start comparing them.

Starting with spain a team who have revolutionised the game of footbal from the past 8 years or so.They play a very simple game yet very complicated at times.Spain follows Tiki-Taka combination-a style of
play characterised by short passing and movement, working the ball through various channels, and maintaining possession.The Tiki-taka style of play was invented by John Cruyff the legendary Barcelona and Netherland football figure who inveneted the style during his playing time at Catalunya.But the main man who
impacted Tiki-Taka was none other than Pep Guardiola-One of the best Manager of the world-the most successful in spain.And now Vincenete Del Bosque have adapted the style of play from catalunya i..e
Barcelona To the National team Spain.Spain have emergged as a very strong team and they have change their texture of play in a very fast manner...with nothing in their hand Spain started winning the euro cup in 2008 and then no team in the world has been able to stop them.After 2008 Spain won the world Cup in South Africa in 2010.After that again they Won the Euro 2012.They are indeed the most successfull football
team in the world Right now.Spain have also achieve a feat that would be nearly impossible for any team to achieve...They have not lost in a row of 28 competitive Matches...A world record.

Spain's most Important players are:

1.Iker Casillas
2.Sergio Ramos
3.Andres Iniesta
4.Xavi
5.David Villa
6.Fabregas
7.Xabi Alonso
8.Pedro
9.Fernando Torres and many other who are considered to be the very
best in the football game.

Now its enough about Spain,
Lets come to Brazil.

Brazil a team which is consider to be the home of football...Won the World cup 5 times and no other team have achieved that feat yet.

Brazil plays a hell lot of a different game than Spain.Brazil unlike spain mostly depends on Long passes and counter attacking football which keep them at different level when compared to other teams in the world.They beleive in attacking with the ball and offensive play rather than keeping possesion of the game.Brazil are now playing under their former legend Scolari who have indeed done a great job so
far.Brazil losts its glory 3-4 years when they lost some good players but now they have again built their terretory.Some of the most promising youngstar are coming up to represent Brazil and here is
their name.The first name is indeed worth writing

1.Neymar
2.Hulk
3.Thiago Silva
4.Marcelo
5.Oscar
6.Jo
7.Alaba
8.Fred
9.David Luiz
10. Dani Alves and many other excellent youngster.

I am really confused which of this two teams would win the world cup
but Now i am eagerly waiting which of this two teams will win the
confederation cup 2013 being held at Brazil

The final is on 30th June and am eagerly waiting for these two
brilliant team to meet in the final.

For now its time to take a break :)

Since his latest admission to hospital, well-wishers have been arriving at his Johannesburg home, with scores of school-children leaving painted stones outside the gates bearing prayers for his recovery.

"If it's his time to go, he can go. I wish God can look after him," said nurse Petunia Mafuyeka, as she headed to work in Johannesburg.

"I'm worried that they're keeping him alive. I feel they should let him go," said Doris Lekalakala, a claims manager. "The man is old. Let nature take its course. He must just rest."

The day after he went into hospital, South Africa's Sunday Times newspaper carried a front-page headline saying it was "time to let him go".

SUN DRAGS SPACE JUNK OUT OF EARTH ORBIT..Dangerous Isn't it?

Hey guys,
  

Have u ever realized the fact that we are constantly sending satellites to the space year after year from a few decades now and whats happening to it after it has completed its mission???

  It is an alarming incident happening in the outer space these days that the junk of the satellites left over after being used up is creating a circumstance known as "Kessler Syndrome". Yes guys it is for your notice that in future if this kin of a thing continues then it might happen that all the research works related to space and travel would be jammed. NASA recently observed this phenomenon occuring in the low-Earth orbit. Moreover the sun flares coming out are to some extent responsible for this blockage too.

So do you think the researchers are sleeping hearing this problem. Absolutely NO. The scientist at NASA have launched a program named "NASA Orbital Debris Program" to get out of such situations. According to the latest report produced by them the Sun can act as help to us clearing those scrubs working as vacuum cleaner.

Another way is the brilliance of mankind and the process goes as follows

Spacecraft sent to other planets -- such as the Mars satellites -- use this high altitude atmospheric drag to slow them down just before orbital insertion, a maneuver called "aerobreaking."

As the debris slows, Earth's gravity pulls it to lower altitudes where the atmosphere is even thicker. Thicker atmosphere = more drag = slower debris. Eventually the debris reenters the atmosphere sooner than it would do without the solar influence, burning up safely (for the most part).

Of the 3,218 cataloged debris from the Fengyun-1C destruction, only 6 percent of the pieces have reentered the atmosphere. But half of those pieces came down in the last 12 months, highlighting the part increased solar activity had to play in removing the debris from orbit.
