Real Madrid with triumphal win against their local opponents

Real Madrid won the derby match of the 29th round in Primera Division against their local opponents Atletico Madrid. The match fulfilled the expectations before the game had started. As the game started both teams had chances of scoring the first goal because of defence mistakes. In the 10th minute Hose Antonio Reyes form Atletico dribled and scored a goal-Casillas didn't have any chance of responding. After that Real were the dominant team on the field with many chances. Therefore, in the 49th minute Xabi Alonso scored a goal after the ball had been kicked from the corner flag and changed it's diraction because of the pass of Higuain. Then Alonso scored with a goal from less than 4 meters. No respond was felt from Atletico so immediately after that Arbeloa scored a goal after an individual dribble with the ball-2-1 for Real. Still the guests from Atletico commited a lot of faults and at the same time mistakes that were in favor for Real. Higuain scored the 3rd goal for his club and that was the point when Real insured their win. The last goal was scored by Atletico but it really didn't make any difference because there was no time for 3rd goal and Real won their game. With these 3 points they became again leaders of the league with equal points with Brcelona with better goal difference.

Best Local Derby Matches

Celtic-Rangers: The biggest derby of UK. The Glasgow derby between Celtic and Rangers is dated back to 1888 and is referred to as the ‘Old Firm’ derby. The derby is in the spotlight now more than ever, with authorities clamping down on sectarian hatred. Celtic are considered a Catholic club and Rangers-Protestant, while political aspects also come into play. Like any other local derby, violence and abuse has always been a part of this one also as they hold the honours of having the most number of arrests. But that cannot take away the excitement from this rivalry which on matchdays can generate a worldwide audience of 150 million.

Milan-Inter: The Milan derby is contested between two of the most successful and glamorous clubs of Italy. It is often referred to as "Derby della Madonnina" in honour of one of the main sights of the city, the statue of the virgin Mary on the top of the Duomo, which is usually called "Madonnina". It is one of the few derbies where both teams share the same ground – San Siro. It is also believed that there is a certain South American rivalry between the two clubs. The Rossoneri (Milan) prefer Brazilian players while the Nerazzurri (Inter) have a liking for Argentinians.

Fenerbahce-Galatasaray: This Istanbul derby involves two of the most successful clubs of Turkey, who have 17 league titles between them. There is a class difference between the fans of the two clubs. Galatasaray fans are mainly from the aristocratic class while Fenerbahce fans are largely from the working class. There is a geographical divide also as Galatasaray is located in the European side of Istanbul, whereas Fenerbahçe is located on the Asian side. There has been no shortage of controversy in this derby with bookings, sending offs and clashes between the two sets of supporters a common thing.

Boca Juniors-River Plate: The derby between Boca Juniors and River Plate is one of the biggest in the world and possibly the biggest in South America. It is referred to as the El Superclásico and is between two of most popular clubs of Argentina. It is a clash between teams from two socially diverse backgrounds - the rich (River) and the poor (Boca). On matchday the entire country is at a standstill anticipating the outcome of the derby. The match generates worldwide popularity due to the sheer passion of the fans. The stands of both teams are loaded with passionate songs against their rivals, fireworks, flags and rolls of paper. This derby often ends in riots which are either between the two sets of supporters or between fans and the police.

Flamengo-Fluminense: This Rio de Janerio derby is arguably the biggest in Brazilian football. It is referred to as the Flu-Fla derby. The term was coined by a journalist named Mario Filho during the professionalization of Rio de Janeiro's football. Another name for this derby is Clássico das Multidões (Crowds' Derby). The rivalry between these two clubs began in October 1911, when a group of dissatisfied players from Fluminense left the club, and went to Flamengo, which at the time had no football section. It is currently played at the 70,000-seater Maracana Stadium but in 1963 both teams clashed in an epic derby that was played in front of a world record attendance of 194,603 fans at the same stadium.

Manchester United-Manchester City: Historically this local derby is not the biggest one in English football. Liverpool-Everton and Arsenal-Tottenham have much more history and are considered to be more important as the gap in success between the teams is not as huge as it is between the Manchester clubs. Now United are one of the most popular clubs in the world while City are probably the richest so the rivalry has gained new momentum.

fencing

In saber fencing and foil fencing, if both players score a hit at the same time the Right of Way(RoW) is applayed by the referee so only one of them gets a point. The right of way is gained in several ways :

• Attacking the opponent. (In fencing the word attack is defined as: is the initial offensive action made by extending the arm and continuously threatening the opponent‘s target, preceding the launching of the lunge or flèche. In sabre the threat may be established with the point or the cutting edge, and the end of the attack coincides with the moment the front foot touches the strip).
• Executing an attack which is preceded by a beat (parry) on the opponent's weapon
• Deceiving the opponent's attempt to beat the blade (attacking an open sectors)
  
• Executing an immediate return offense following the opponent's failed attack; this can be the result of a parry, or because they have fallen short of the target.
• By continuous offensive action; avoiding an opponent's defensive actions and continuing to maintain a threat, by compound attack or by redoublement.

If neither of the players have the RoW in a double touch, no point is awarded.

Bayer Leverkusen vs. Shalke 04

In the derby match of the German Bundesliga one against other will play the teams of Bayer and Shalke. Both teams did very well in their previous league matches and now are in the first three teams toplist. Most of their time Leverkusen stayed as team number 1 in Germany but recently they lost points and moved to the 3rd position with chances of winning the tittle. Shalke didn't started as expected at the beggining but they managed to win most of their matches and now they're 2nd with just a point behing the leaders Bayer Munchen. In they last 12 matches Leverkusen has 6 wins, 4 deuce matches and only 2 losts against Shalke. Recently it seems like Shalke are team with greater chances of winning this game because of their results that show a winning streak of 4 games before they made a deuce with Hamburger(2-2). I predict a match with not so much goals (Under 2.5 goals) and the winner will be the team that first scores a goal.

fencing - short history

Fencing is not a very popular sport, but it improves the player's speed and dexterity and is includede as an olympic sport.
Fencing is all about speed and predicting you opponent's moves. While fencing the players assume a special pose known as angard. When the match begins, the players advance towards one another because they start at a considerable distance. Shortly after that the opponents collide.
There are three types of fencind, determined by the weapond the duelists use:

1. Foil — a light thrusting weapon; the valid target is restricted to the torso, the chest, shoulders, and back; double touches are not allowed. This weapon follows the rule of "right of way"
2. Épée — a heavy thrusting weapon; the valid target area covers the entire body; double touches are allowed. There is no "right of way"
3. Sabre — a light cutting and thrusting weapon; the valid target area is the saddle line, which is from one side of the fencer's hip to the other, and up, this also includes the head. The target area does not include the hands. This weapon follows "right of way" The saber is also used for training because of its light weight.

Fencing dates to themedival ages when fencing schools and teachers were created and hired by nobles. There are also written text about faencing called treatises, written by fencing teachers and explaining the tactics of the certain teacher. The first of the treatises dates back to 1300 AD.
Than fencing was practiced with a broader sword and a small shield. Then fencing weapons elvloved nearer to the kinds seen nowadays - all noble families were instructed how to duel and dueling was a popular way to defend your honour. After World War II duleing dissapeared almost completely and the new weapons and rules described above began being used for sport and fencing (also called modern fencing) was created.

After a brilliant game yesterday (24th of March) FC Bayern München qualified for the final

After an astonishing victory against Schalke 04, Bayern will travel to Berlin where they will meet Werder Bremen for the last game for the DFB-Pokals. Bayern won yesterday after 120 minutes of play. The winger of the team Robben scored in the 112th minute. Van Gaal had a strange strategy, but it was very successful. Ribery didn't play during the first half, but when he came to the soccer field, Schalke didn't have any chance, but to pull back to their side of the field. Ribery had some very powerful shots to the opposite goal. After he appeared on te field he caused two changes in Schalke's team. After this Bayern had two more fresh people waiting for the next 30 minutes, while Schalke didn't have any. After Arjen Robben scored in the 112th minute of the game, Van Gaal chose to waste some time and made some changes in the team during the 116th and 120th minute. Yellow cards received Schweinsteiger and after him was Robben who received a yellow card just 1 minute after his goal.
After this last game for the half finals of the DFB-Prokals : "Berlin, Berlin, wir fahren nach Berlin!", which traslated from German means "Berlin, Berlin, we travel to Berlin!".
After the match against Schalke 04 that was visited by about 61, 000 people, we are expecting a huge event visited by whole Germany with thousends and thousends
of fans. For the 17th time Bayern will take part in the final for the
DFB-Proklas cup.

Chelsea with astonishing win with 5-0 as a guest to Portsmouth

In one of the most important matches for Chelsea FC they got what they came for with a win of 5-0 as a guest to Portsmouth FC. As you probably know the home playing team had financial problems which came to a crisis and the automatically lost 7 points. Now their chance of keeping their elite status is threatened by their almost lost possibility of maintaining a position among the best England clubs. On the field yesterday they didn't impressed their fans being humiliated with such an incredible result. In the other hand Chelsea FC seems to return to their winning streak. After being eliminated form Champions league from Inter they lost 2 precious points for the title in the Barclays Premier League by recieving a gaol in the last 20 minutes for 1-1 with Blackburn Rovers as a guest again. But as a proof for their magnificent form in this season was this win. Now they are 2nd just a point behing Manchester United and 1 point in front of Arsenal. The battle will be great not only because of their almost equal chance of winning the tournament but also the upcoming direct matches between these opponents. From now on every team will have to focus in each of the games left to gain as much point as needed for the title. Their greatest weapon will be their teamwork which will help each one for their aim-champions of England.

The Sofia Derby

The biggest derby in Bulgaria and maybe in the whole Balkan region. CSKA (the Reds) versus Levski (The Blues)
CSKA was founded as the Central Sport Club of the Bulgarian Army in 1948 while Levski was named after the Bulgarian national hero Vasil Levski in 1914. In the past Levski fans were poor and liberal people whereas CSKA fans were from the intelectual elite.Nowadays both clubs have supporters from all social groups.
Levski has more wins in the games betweeen the two teams, but in the last few years the balance has become almost equal.
CSKA has an advance in the Championship - 31 titles versus 26. Levski has won the Bulgarian Cup 27 times and CSKA 19 times.
In the current Championship CSKA is second and Levski is fifth. In the last match between the two teams on 20.09.2009 CSKA won with 2-0.

TORRES NAMED AS CHELSEA`S NUMBER ONE TARGET

Fernando Torres is being touted as Chelsea's number one transfer target as Fleet Street predicts a comprehensive revamp of the club's first-team squad following their ignominious Champions League exit.
Though some reports have suggested that the position of Carlo Ancelotti is under threat after Tuesday night's defeat to Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan, the general consensus is that Roman Abramovich will keep faith with the Italian and re-open his chequebook to fund a lavish spending spree.
'Ancelotti may thus be able to consider moves for long-standing targets such as Fernando Torres, Franck Ribery, or Sergio Aguero' reports The Guardian. 'Torres is emerging as the club's principal target and the Spanish striker's future at Liverpool could be decided by the level of investment attracted to his club in the next few months.'
A concurring Daily Mirror also declares that 'Ancelotti wants to build a "dream team" front pair of Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres next season. Chelsea's wish-list is headed by Liverpool superstar Torres, with the Blues ready to table a £50million bid if they see any signs the Spaniard wants to leave Anfield.
'Chelsea know that Manchester City, who can outbid the Stamford Bridge side, have also targeted Torres, especially after his recent admission that he would not automatically go back to Spain if he decides to quit Liverpool.'
Chelsea have spent relatively little in recent years, with the club committed to the goal of breaking even. However, their early exit from the Champions League is expected to result in that austerity coming to an expensive end.
The Sun quotes a 'senior Chelsea source' declaring: "Carlo has the full backing of Roman and that will mean the kind of money being spent this summer that we haven't seen since Mourinho was in charge.
"Roman believes Carlo is the right man and will give him exactly what he needs to rebuild the team.
"This squad has gone a bit stale and needs to have some fresh blood."
To make room for the new additions, a number of current squad members are predicted to depart.
'Joe Cole will be the first to pay the price for a new attitude because the club are determined not to cave in to his wage demands,' declares The Times. 'The England midfield player is likely to be followed out of the door by Deco, Paulo Ferreira, Hilбrio and even Ricardo Carvalho.'
'Funds could be raised by moving players on with the likes of Deco, Ricardo Carvalho, Paulo Ferreira, Juliano Belletti and even Salomon Kalou potentially made available,' adds The Guardian. 'The owner's desire to reinvigorate the squad could also have implications for contract negotiations with Joe Cole and Michael Ballack, whose deals expire at the end of the season, and possibly Nicolas Anelka, who is contracted until 2011.'
And the list of players Fleet Streets believes could be on their way to Stamford Bridge is considerable. A trawl through the backpages finds the club linked with, among others, Torres, Ribery, Aguero, David Villa, Giampaolo Pazzini, Simon Kjaer, Moussa Dembele, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Sergio Asenjo.

Fitness

In our modern society people often go to fitness. They use this sport for different reasons. Some of them trein fitness because they want to have beautiful and thick body. Others want to have big muscles as body builders. To loose weight you need aroud three treins per a week and good diet because when you loose your fats if you eat a lot you get them back on you. Now will we continue with something different treinning for big muscles. There are people which are in the fitness for most of their time which job is this. Their trainning up to fight days because their muscles shoul relax to have effective treins. For this reason Rusian scientists have understand that when you do your exercise if you don't press them to your full strenght you would relax faster so when you make series of exercises you should do 2 or 3 lower then your max oportunities and in this way you can make more series and big muscles. Also when you do exercises you should relax longer time which would help you to make bigger muscles but not more than five minutes. Also for muscles professional competitors use special diets with more proteins and smaller amount of fats. Others which also want to have for a short time very big muscles also buy this pills and use diets. This pills and diets are not helthful and you shorter your life. For example this body builders players die long early than other people. You should define your treining by what type of muscles you want to develop and how many treins do you have per week. There are different exercises for different muscles and different apparatus. You should read how to use them more effectively. You should try this great sport and make your muscles bigger.

Ambitious Liverpool against defensive Lille

In match for a 1/4 final place Lille and Liverpool will battle for prestige and qualifying for the next stage. In the first match Lille scored goal in the 83th minute to win the game and increase their chances of advancing the 1/4 finals. But Liverpool is a team with great history and players and should never be counted off a tournament and they have the chance to improve their form by winning this match. They're desperately fighting to get in the Big 4 till the end of the season against Aston Villa, Tottenham and Manchester City. Improvement is seen during Liverpool last games despite the lost form Wigan. In the other hand Lille have a very good league position and 99% will qualify again for the Europe club tournaments. Their won in the first match wasn't a big surprize but they will have to repeat the good performance again to defeat the team from "Anfield". Besides Lille have a strong defence and powerful attack completely equal to their opponents. I expect a hard match with lots of fouls and a hard win for Liverpool with 1-0 or 2-0 and maybe extra time will be played.

Fulham - Juventus

This will be one of the most interesting matches in Europa League. Fullam lost the last game with 3:1 on the stadium of Juventus. It is expected that Juventus will continue to the next stage of Europa League, but this type of game is always full of surprizes. We saw that Chelsea lost the last game with 0:1 although they were the favorits in this match. Fulham are not in a good shape, but they will do their best to qualify for the next stage. they need to keep a result of 3:1 in order to have another 30 minutes of game. Roy Hodgson will change his tactics and will probably rely mainly on his best players to at least try to maintain the result draw until the 30 minutes come. Fullham had several recent matches lost and they haven't won a match since 25.02. Fulham are on the 10th position in the UK and now their effort is doubled, because they have to play in both: The Premier League and Europa League. We will wath an interesting derby between representatives of the 2 best countris in soccer: England and Italy. Chances for Juventus to classify for the next stage - 80%. Chances for Fulham to classify for the next stange - 20%.

Rowing

Rowing is one of the oldest sports included in the Olympic games. The first known evidence for this kind of sport dates back in 1430 BC in Egypt when Amenhotep ІІ was the first one. Rowing appeared in its modern type in London on the most famous and large river in the UK - Thames. Nowadays there is an International Federation of Rowing Associations (FISA) which was made in 1892. The boats for rawing are not as the usual boats. They are aerodynamical and their shape helps them a lot. The boats are narrow and long, with a sharp front part. The types of boats could be for 1, 2, 4 or 8 people. The boats are differently painted. They show the nationallity of the boat ot who owns it. According to the position of coxwain there are 3 types of boats: coxless, bow-coxed or stern-coxed.

Parkour, Freerun

Parlour is the name of the sport that later evolved into freerunning which is more common nowerdays. The difference is that in Parlour the point is reach or escape and in freerun you just do cool tricks without trying to get somewhere. It is a cool sport becouse it can be practiced everywhere you go in the city or in the forest (exept in the desert, or atleast it will be boaring). It also can be practiced and thaught in a closed space with some things for safety.
But how did it started?
David Belle was the first guy who trained freeruning with his gang called Yamakas which mainly helped him. But soon the group had foulen apart becouse the group member Sebastien Foucan thought that the sport should be not for just running though objects from point A to point B but "should be oriented to the fluidity and the aesthetics of the movement".
He says: "The most important element is the harmony between you and the obstacle; the movement has to be elegant... If you manage to pass over the fence elegantlythat's beautiful, rather than saying 'I jumped the lot.' What's the point in that?"

Ferguson thinks Arsenal are their main defiance for the Premier League

Sir Alex Ferguson claimed that Arsenal are their main opponent for the Premier League. Manchester United's coach Sir Alex Ferguson supported his argument claiming that Arsenal have very easy matches to the end of the season. Chelsea are the top team at the moment because they have a match more to play even though they are 2 points after United. There is even a match between Manchester United and Chelsea which will be the most important match of all making the winner a step closer to winning the Premier League. Ferguson added that if they all their matches they would be champions and too if Chelsea win their matches they'll claim the tittle. Sir Alex said that, however if Arsenal have many injured key figures they will easily be thrown off the battle for first place. However he added that each match will be very important and United should look forward winning each match no matter against who they play.

Two-ropes jumping

Inspired by a movie I decided to show you completely bizzare sport that will get your attention-the two -ropes jumping. This revolutionary new sport is becoming more famous each day and the fun thing is that it's completely freestyle. The sport comes from a mixture of freerun and rope jumping in the schools. It's so extraordinary that recently it took some awards in sport competitions. As you probably guess it all started In Japan and US as a game between kids. As a completely new sport it's history is very short and it will be developed in the future but people are looking for it with enthusiasm and it increases popularity.




As our blog is interested in the sport and it's development, we will post more about that kind of "weird" activities.

Poker Face and Confidence isn't always enough

Poker Face and Confidence isn't always enough, it almost always comes to the cards you are holding. And thet is exactly what Oliver Hudson would tell you as he lost 10,000 bucks from the first hand of the event and got home with nothing. Oliver Hudson got two 10s at first and then the dealer put and two Aces and a 10 so Oliver Hudson was sure that he would win, but surprize surprize! His opponent had and Ace and a 10 which makes higher Full House! After raising a few times they bouth got to all in so Hudson's opponent won doubleling his money from 10,000 to 20,000 bucks! So Hudson's poker face and confidence didn't helped him at all.

Offroad Race

Offroad races are sport in which the competitors use vesicles to pass trough rough terrain and the driver with best time wins the game. In this races is too hard to participate because you need very good preparation. In this races the road which players use is formed from the nature and not touched from the human mashines because of this the trucks are as a suprice for the racers which can not predict if there wasn't a change in the truck from the last time when they made trainning. Also when you drive on ground the cars can not make a curve so easy and if you don't stop on time your car can fly to the nearest forest. In this races there is other technique for taking the curves. It is to roud the wheel in the opposite side from the curve below but in faster way. This would help the car to save stability and if the speed is too high you would not crash. Because there are no borders to the tracks racers use systems as gps to show them the shortest way. Also in this races the major factor takes the weather. It changes realy fast and unpredictable and the meteroologists a lot of times make mistakes which can cause one team to loose and others win. This major factor makes this sport interesting because new teams win the races. So every team needs his own predictor who decides about what types of wheels to put on the vehicle and what type of settings to put to the car. Drivers also are big factor about everything because when they take risks they could be faster or loose control of the vehicle sometimes which can cause them big damages to the vehicle or something that is more bad their own death. Because of the short wide of the truck cars start at different time and then is calculated which is the fastest car. Trucks are made in forest region where the teritory is much bigger. Also desserts are used for common trucks because racers would not damage the nature and would not cause problem of the enviroment.
There are a few types of offroad races. I would tell you about three of them: motocycle, offroad cars and trucks. All this vehicles are specialised to the conditions on the truck with higher air cushion which are stronger and don't break from the higher pressure which they get from the rough terrain and the high speed. The motocycle race is usually with borders and artificial hills on which racers jump. The race with cars are with two competitors in a team. The first one is the driver and the coordinator which tells the right way. Some people are saying that the coordinaor is unhelpfull but this is not true becuase someone needs too follow always the right way. Sometimes the in offroad are combined with normal tracks. The races with trucks are also very interesting because undependantly from the big mass of the vehicle they have very big engines which gives them very good speed. The trucks are very hard to control because of the size and the road. Watch it to see the real shiver.

United claimed on top again after a win over Fulham with 3:0

"Manchester United beated Fulham with 3:0. Rooney scored twice and Berbatov scored at the end of the match to shape the final score. United were the team who totally dominated through the whole match, even though they didn't score at the first half. at the 10th minute Berbatov made a through pass to Fletcher who tried to pass to Rooney, but didn't succeeded. 10 minutes later Berbatov tried a very interesting shot but the ball went out. At the 38th minute Fulham showed their teeth and Boby Zamora tried to shoot but his shot went high of the bar.

The second half begun with immediate pressure and Nani passed to Rooney who scored his 24th foal in Premier League this season. Fulham tried to push their opponents but unsuccessful. At 84th minute Berbatov amazingly went through two Fulham defenders went deeply and passed to Rooney who didn't miss to score again. After 5 minutes Park crossed and Berbatov was there to score with a header and to shape the final result 3:0. With this win Manchester United are back on the first place with two points more than Chelsea, but a match more.

Sevilla - CSKA Moskva

Sevilla and CSKA are considered to be the outsiders in the Champions League. Their last game was in Moscow where they felt the Russan cold weather. The temperature was under 0 degrees. Sevilla are most likely to continue after this stage of the elimination stage. Both teams have played great during they last 50 games and in fact their statistics show that the percentages of games won/draw/lost are almost equal. Sevilla have bigger chance to classify after they managed to score a goal in Moscow. The Russans had a bigger chance in Moscow, because they are used to the colder Russian temperatures. Although they had a much bigger chance in Moscow, Sevilla scored a goal and the result was draw. Now both teams have to fight till the end for each single inch of the soccer field. The chances for the teams are 50-50, but the sport journalists say that Sevilla will continue to the next phase.

Rules of Texas Hold'em

Texas Hold'em is one of the most popular branches of poker. I will explain the rules of this game below.
/For the strenght of each hand refer here/

0. Overall structure - the overall structure of Texas Hold'em, although more complex than most of the other branches, is realatively simple - each player has two cards and can combine them with five cards that are dealt on the table for everyone to use. Here is the order the game follows:

1. Players pay blinds (see below)
   
2. Each player is dealt two cards
3. Players place bets
4. The flop is dealt - 3 cards are dealt on the table
   
5. Players place bets
6. The turn is dealt - 1 more card is dealt on the table
7. Players place bets
8. The river is dealt - 1 last card is dealt on the table
9. Players place beys
10. The showdown takes place - the players show their cards and the winner is determined; If there is only one player left at any point of the hand he may not show his cards.
    

0.1 Before dealing the flop, turn, and river the dealer burns the next card in the deck (removes it from play). It is more of a tradition in modern days, as in the past it was used to prevent people from seeing marked cards that would be played next. Today it still serves the same purpose, although the risk of marked cards is greatly smaller.

1. Blinds - Almost always hold'em is played with blinds - forced bets that first two players to the left of the dealer (the dealer is represented by a dealer button since players are not allowed to deal themselves in order to prevent cheating) pay before recieving their cards. The first person to the left of the dealer usually pays half the amout the secon pays. When only to people remain playing the person with the dealer chip pays the small blind. In poker tournaments, the blinds are gradually raised.

2. Bets - Players bet clockwise starting from the dealer. Depending of the type of hold'em there are several possibilities for bets :
2.1 Limit Hold'em - before the flop and after the flop, have to bet equal to the big blind (this bet is known as small bet). After the flop players have to bet twise the big blind (known as big bet)
2.2 No Limit Hold'em - players can bet any amount of their chips as long this amount is higher or the same as the big blind. If someone reraises they must raise at least the amount of the previous raise. When somebody bets all his chips it is called 'all-in'. When all players are in all-in they usually reveal their cards.
2.3 Pot Limit Hold'em - the maximum raise is the amount of the current pot.

3. Kickers - since shared cards are used kickers are used to determine the stronger hand. A kicker is a card not used in determening the hand's rank, but if there are two hands with the same strenght, the hand with the higher cards wins.

4.Ties - if two people have exactly the same hands a tie is called and this players split the pot

Chelsea with desperate need of at least 1 goal against Inter

Chelsea against Inter will be the derby match of the 1/8 finals in the Champions League in the night of the 17th of March. In the first leg Inter managed to win the match with 2-1 which gives equal chances for both team to continue to the next stage. If Chelsea wins by 1-0 they will be the team to continue so Inter have to be very careful with the team's preformance at the field. As you probably know Jose Mourinho will return to "Stanford Bridge" now coach in Inter and this event will bring more emotions to both teams. Everyone knows how strong are both teams so I think that the teams performance iver the last couple of months should not be commented except for the last games of the clubs. Chelsea made an easy win against West Ham with 4-1 and again Didie Drogba played a fantastic role in the team and scored 2 goals. In the other hand Inter lost their game against the team Of Catania with 3-1 and that was a huge surprise for the fans of the team. But now the upcoming match against Chelsea will be an opportunity to get back on the right path with a win which will be amazing but at the same time very hard. Because of Chelsea's performance and teamplays I expect an easy with for the blues from London with 2-0 or 3-0 with at least 1 goal scored by Drogba.

The Bulgarian National Team moves to Bourgas in two years

The Vasil Levski Stadium which is the stadium of Bulgarian national team will be moved to Bourgas because the Satium will not fulfill the requirements of UEFA and FIFA because of missing roofs. The Bulgarian Football boss Borislav Mihaylov said that the stadium in Bourgas is well known to the Bulgarians and it is better in many ways because it was repaired before 3 years. Stadium Lazur which is now the stadium of Chernomoretz Bourgas. Dimitar Sabev which is the boss of Chernomoretz is the only one who is left to agree with the deal connected to the Bulgarian national football team. Now the ground is being changed from fake grass to real one and this is one of the newest renewments of Lazur Stadium.

The opening of the Olympics in Vancouver started very good but turned to a fail of peoples expectation. The money that were supposed to be used were more than the previous Olympic in China. but the China's opening was much better then that in Vancouver. People say that the opening in China despite of the fact that China is the grates producer of fireworks didn't used real fireworks but used animations instead even thought it turned to be better and cheaper then the one in Vancouver. The biggest mistake was that one of the torch statue didn't open which was a huge disaster.
But they still had some good ideas like the singer surrounded by candles and everybody holding a candle, also the sheet that was pooled up with all the lights on it that looked like flying birds. But the China's opening was much grater with all the effects and the fire that got around the stadium. Also there were a lot of dancers that were in remarkable harmony with each other.

Bobsleigh

Bobsleigh is a winter sport which was discovered in 1860. It is found in England but the first track was made in Switzerland. First were straight lines and the bobsleigh was not controled. The races were influenced only by the speed which competitors reach in the beginning by pushing the sleigh forward. Then sport developed and they begun building new tracks with curves where the high of the trackwas bigger to be saver for the competitors. Bolids were made to can be controled from the driver who sits in front of the sleigh. There are four slides under the sleigh and first pair of them are controled from the driver who uses wheel to turn the bolid in different sides. This sport have participated in the Olympic games since the 1924 year when this sport reached our days level. Now this sport is only developed to be safer for the competitors. There are two types of bolids for different number of people. There is a bobsleigh with four person whose weight is 630 killograms and other one with two persons whose weight is 385. Because of its weight the bolid with five persons reaches higher speed in the race. Firstly because they are four people which push the bolid and second the havier bolid is faster because of different forces which influence it. During a race the watch counts every thousand of a second because bolids finish with a small distance between them. This mean that a small mistake in every moment could put the team on the end of the list. During the streinghten the racers should get in the bulid in appropriate time becuase they loose important seconds.
During the last Olympic games was entered in new 5 placed bolide. Although this sport gets savier every year 3 persons loose their lifes per year. This year at the winter olympic games one competitor dead during the training for the next race. He jumped from the curve and there was no chance for life because he broke his neck. This sport is dangerous but interesting and with lot of fens so more and more players are fighting for the world champion cup.

Fiorentina - Bayern München

Tomorrow will be played the 1/8 finals of the Champions league Bayern München - Fiorentina. The expectations are that Bayern will win against the team of Fiorentina. During their last game in Germany on 17 February 2010 Bayern won with 2-1. It is expected that Bayern will won again, because if we take the statistics of their 50 previous games we will see that Bayern had a lot more goals and games won. Bayern had 64% games won while Fiorentina had only 44%. When we look at the scores that they've made, we could see 1.38 goals per game scored by Fiorentina and about 2.28 scored by Bayern.

Bayern appeared to be in a bad shape and we saw that durin their last game in Germany where they scored 1-1 against Köln. Bayern will do their best to score several goals and will not allow Fiorentina to score in their door. To keep the result Bayern need to score 1 goal while Fiorentina needs 2. The game will be difficult for both teams who all want to qualify for the next stage. Louis van Gaal will make everything possible to keep the score that will qualify them.

The game will be tense, because Fiorentina will do their best, but I think that the result is obvious - Bayern will reach the 1/4 finals where they will face the team of Arsenal or the one of Porto. After the victory of Porto the expected opponent is Porto.

The last round in the bulgarian A proffesional football group

Durring the last round of the bulgarian A proffesional football group a lot of interesting matches were played. Among them were the matches of the two Sofia's grands pfc CSKA and pfc LEVSKI.
They were playing against Lokomotiv Plovdiv and Miniyor Pernik. The first match of the half season for CSKA was played on stadion Bulgarian Army against Lokomptiv Plovdiv infront of the eyes of 5000 veiwers. The guests from Plovdiv had gather a crowd of more than 900 fans who came from the second bigger sity in bulgaria by cars. In the first half of the match there were a lot of dramatic moments and a lot of goals were scored. By the end of it there were already 4 goals and the result was 3 :1 for CSKA. However the Lokomotiv's goal was really doubtfull situation because it was from very strange penalty which was given by the referee in akward way. The referee took the whole anger of the fans and was insulted by them till the end of the match. Durring the match the both fans showed great choreography also and kept the great atmosphere of the game in totaly bulgarian manner. In the second half the match became really boring and uninteresting. However the referee gave another imagine penalty for the guest team and they managed to score a second goal. Now the result was kept 3:2 till the end of the game. Although the victory of the Sofia's grand wasn't sure it was still a victory which made the red fans to celebrate the great start of the second half of the season!

Arsenal vs. Porto

In 1/8 final Arsenal faces Porto in second match for a place in the quarter-finals of the most commercial football tournament-Champions league. In the first leg, surprizingly, the winner was the portugal team that managed to beat their opponents with 2:1 with 2 unusual mistaked of the Arsenal goalkeeper-Lukas Fabiansky.Before the matches it was thought that the team from London will easily eliminate its opponens from Porto but things went differently. Now the two teams know each other and will be 100% ready for the upcoming match. Arsenal had a dramatic tragedy in the end of the last week when Ryan Showcross broke the leg of the midfielder of Arsenal-Aaron Ramsey. Even though sad feeling went among Arsenal players they managed to win the match and the next one too. Their captain Francesc Fabregas is injured and will miss the match which will be a great plus for the opposing team. Arsenal league position is 3rd with the same amount of points as the second Chelsea but with 1 match more then them. In the other hand is the team form Portugal that is also the champion of the country. They play very well in the last 4 years in Champions league and even one 1 trophy. But now agains them is the strong England team of Arsenal that won't give up in all the 90 minutes. Because of the great motivation among Arsenal players I think they will many opportunities for the goal. As I was saying Porto are a great force in Europe and everytime it's hard to defeat them. After the win against Arsenal Porto won against the team of Sporting Braga with the amazing score of 5:1. But then the lost against the strong team of Sporting Lisabon with 3:0 which was a great surprize. The they made draw with Olhanence(2:2). Now they are a little bit unfocused and make mistaked but always managed to deal with the situation. In their last 4 matches Porto leads with 2:1 wins and 1 draw. I expect a great "battle" between the two teams finishing with a draw(1:1) or a win for Arsenal(2:1)
