Travis Kennedy-Gangster Snowboarding

Travis Kennedy was the best male free style rider for 2008-2009 season when he was riding for Forum. His initials are T. K. and from there come his nick name The Kid and another reason to call him The Kid was because he was too young, only in high school, and he was already on the board riding smoother compared to the other riders from the team of Forum. He is a brilliant kid with incredible imagination which helped him find and use a lot of unusual objects as spots and try new tricks and improve or make more beautiful his older stunts. He was and he is still one of the best grinders and male with the most beautiful and smooth roof drops and rail stunts. But when Forum created Travis Kennedy's PRO model snowboard it was not one of the best sellers even though it was specially made for rails and boxes with anty-braking system and the board was very flexyble. Not a lot of people were as good as The Kid on the rails and boxes so they didn't need that flexyble and cool board and it was not much saild so Forum decided to drop off Travis Kennedy because he wasn's bringing much money to the company. This was a verry stupid reason to drop that perfect rider so Travis was very angry and never after touched a Forum board or clothing. and on February 16, 2010 Travis Kennedy is rider for Technine where he feels better and he says that his incomes are better and people from the team are more friendly. It is very happy because he have had a lot of problems troughout 2009-2010 free period until this season. We are waiting for a new movie for his new company and we are hopping it will be better and longer than the two movies he made for forum with just 5 minutes of him riding from 1 hour and 30 mins movies (That by Forum; Forum or against em!)
This is Travis Kennedy's PRO model for Forum and if you are interested in freestyle riding I am recommending it to you.
This is Travis and his new clothing and snowboard for Technine.

Cluj Coach gone mad! (video)

Cluj coach Sorin Cartoon occur as very temperamental man during a Champions League match between his team and Basel, ended 1:0 in favor of Swiss. During the match covered by the anger, the coach broke foot Plexiglas glass on the bench on which he sat. Interestingly, people from the headquarters of the Romanians are not impressed by the attack of the madness of Cartoon and continued to quietly observe the fight. Apparently these are used to his actions, as this is not the first manifestation of such specialist. About two years ago he tried to break another glass head on the bench, but this time for his luck without success (second video).

In that way he has 11 goals for Premier League and 12 as a whole from the beginning of the season. Berba goes in the history of the Premier League, becoming the fourth player to score five goals in one match, and with it came out on of the top scorers in England.

A touchdown...or not exactly

teve Johnson, you may know him as the guy who has embroidery which literally states: “Why so serious?” the quote, taken from the blockbuster movie – “The Dark Knight”.

Taking in consideration his great performance this week and including the event that took place this Sunday – a potential win for the Buffalo Bill’s but it didn’t happen unfortunately, the two year veteran might want to take things a little more serious next time.

With his team almost losing he saw an opportunity that might actually help his team win the game. It was a sure win, unfortunately Johnson couldn’t catch the ball and it fell on the ground before his eyes…

It was an unbelievable play by Buffalo, who came back from a 13-0 defeat because of a time deficit. Johnson’s catch would have given them the opportunity that they needed to score the vital touchdown, thus providing them with their third win for the season. Currently, they are the most exciting 2-9 team in the history of NFL.

Tonight: El Clasico (Real Madrid vs. Barcelona)

Tonight two of the best teams in the world will play agaisnt each other. Josep Guardiola's superteam consisting of Messi, Iniesta, Villa, Pyuol and Xavi versus Jose Mourinho's consisting of Cristiano Ronaldo, Ramos, Pepe, Oezil and Khedira. It will be a clash of two completely different playing styles: Barca will play as usual, with a lot of short passes and with awesome combinations between the players deep in the opponents' half of the ground. That will give a good opportunities for Real's tytpical counter-attacks and fast players. Also, the coaches already announced the starting teams. Guardiola chose 4-3-3. Valdes, of course, will be the goalkeeper, and Alves, Pique, Puyol, Abidal (or Maxwell) will form the defence. Busquets, Xavi, and Iniesta will form the midfield and the announced forwards are Pedro, Villa, and Messi. Mourinho chose 4-2-3-1. Casillas will be the goalkeeper. The chosen defenders for the match are Ramos, Pepe, Carvalho, and Marcelo. Khedira and Alonso will play as defensive midfielders. Di Maria, Oezil, and Ronaldo will be attacking midfielders and Higuain will play as the only forward.

It will be spectacular match for sure! :)

Before Bulgaria vs. Serbia

On Wednesday, November 17th, the Bulgarian national team will play in a friendly match against Serbia. Although the match is officialy called "friednly", both teams are likely to play to the full of their abilities. The Serbian team has the chance to restore their good name after the world qualification against Italy a few weeks ago, when Serbian fans fought with Italian fans and the police. The Bulgarian team, on the other hand, wants to show that the crisis is a thing of the past and that we have a respectable team once again. The head coach Lothar Matthaus will have his first match with the national team in Bulgaria. The federation has promised cheap tickets as they hope that the national team will receive solid support from the fans. So if you have free time on Wednesday night and are not afraid of the Serbian fans, please go and support the team because they will need it.

Referees and Corruption

Litex managed to defeat one of the strongest teams in "A" Group Loko (Sofia) after an interesting match in Lovech. There were many criticisms directed toward the referee because of his seeming affection towards the players of Litex. The president of Loko was furious after the match and declared his intention to ask the chief referee of Bulgaria to resign. The referee Angel Angelov obvisouly favored the Lovech team through his actions, but the question is did he do this intentionally or was it just a mistake. In the past, he has been a central character in numerous scandals concerning macthes of CSKA (Sofia), Slavia, and Levski. If the scandals in the "A" Group continue, Bulgarian football will suffer greatly. We should not forget that Bulgarian football is also observed by UEFA, which has the power and the authority to impose heavy bans and fines on our federation. So instead of figthing between each other, Bulgarian football fans had better unite and help the federation solve the problem with referees. Several football teams, including CSKA (Sofia) and Levski, have decided to meet and discuss the current situation. It is very likely that they will take serious measures. It seems that Bulgarian football has a real chance to get rid of corruption.

Everton 1 Arsenal 2

They are now unbeaten on their last eight visits to the Mersey area. Oh, and just for good measure, they have blasted 33 goals against Liverpool and Everton in four years.
Never mind the one-goal victory margin, the Gunners were in a different league for so much of the game.
Goals from Bacary Sagna - about as likely as a long-term contract extension for Roy Hodgson - and Cesc Fabregas had wrapped up the points after 48 minutes.
Tim Cahill's late close-range effort did raise Blue hopes of a comeback to match the one which saw them bag the unlikeliest of draws against Manchester United here.
But, in all honesty, David Moyes' men could have expected a charge of daylight robbery had they managed it again.
In fact, the biggest surprise was it took until 10 minutes before the break for the Gunners to find a way through - that and the identity of the scorer of course.
Prior to yesterday Sagna had managed just one goal for the club in three years, the opener in a 2-1 loss at Chelsea back in March 2008.
Well now he can make it two in 32 months, after a tight-angled rocket which nearly took the net from its mooring.
Three minutes after half-time that lead was doubled, courtesy of a goal that left manager Moyes raging on the touchline.
Fabregas paved the way by feeding Marouane Chamakh on the right, but even then Everton had plenty of bodies back to deal with the danger.
Yet when he clipped the ball across, Fabregas - despite the attention of FIVE defenders - stuck out a boot to guide it home.
It was a goal which summed up Everton's woeful lack of bite and spirit to that point, even more galling given those are two things they usually have in abundance.
Only John Heitinga had shown any real desire for a scrap, picking up a yellow card off referee Howard Webb for one late lunge on Jack Wilshere as he did so.
Yet having been sent off by the same official in the World Cup final, Moyes hauled him out of the action for the second half.
It took that second goal from Fabregas to finally spark the rest of those in blue into any sort of angry response.
Yet even then you sensed the Gunners could have picked them off at will should they have needed a third.
Quite how they did not manage it from Chamakh, however, had to be seen to be believed as the Moroccan somehow ballooned over from three yards out without a defender in sight.
Tim Howard also had to produce heroics to deny Nasri yet again, while only a superbly-timed Phil Jagielka tackle nicked the ball away from Arshavin. If Arsenal are guilty of one thing, it is giving opponents a glimmer of hope when really they should be out of sight. It was the same story at Goodison yesterday.
Even then it took until 10 minutes from time to call Lukasz Fabianski into action - and what a response we got from the Gunners keeper.
His full-length dive to push away Jermaine Beckford's opportunist strike was the best of his saves, but the ones to deny Louis Saha and Steven Pienaar were not far behind.
Cahill eventually pulled one back but the Gunners held on for another Mersey killing.

Mourinho: the best debutant in the history of the Spanish La Liga

After the last night's win against Sporting de Gijon, Real Madrid's manager Jose Mourinho became the best debutant in the Soanish League. Real Madrid is at the top of the table with 29 points from 11 matches (9 wins and 2 draws). The previous record was from season 2008/2009 - 28 points (Josep Guardiola/Barcelona).

win of the championship of formula 1 in 2010

Last year because of the money problems all teams dropped behind the big development of Mercedes GP. For this reason all teams invested more money and the fight for the win is very interesting because no one can not hold the first place for more than three races. We can see this because no one could not win three contiguous wins and everyone from the four big teams had took one or more wins. Now the first four places can participate for the win of the champion ate in the last race but really the race is between Alonso and Weber if Alonso is two places after Weber, he can loose it although his chance is near 90%. Everything would be determined by which team has bigger luck.

Interview with Jeorge Lorenzo (Fiat-Yamaha)

Look at Lorenzo's interview before he won the MotoGP in 2010 and what he said about his partner and what his expectations about the season were.

Q: Everyone expects that the rivalry between you and Valentino will be even stronger this year. How do you plan to manage it?

Jorge Lorenzo: I think our rivalry is not personal, but just limited to the sport area. For me it is normal: we both want to win and we are in the same team. Last year we had a very polite and good relationship with the media and I expect this year to be the same again.

Q: Who is your biggest rival this year and why?

Jorge Lorenzo: I don't know. Theoretically Valentino, Casey, Dani and me are the riders who are going to fight for the championship, but I am sure that it is possible that somebody else will be fighting with us for the championship.

Q: Is your aim this season to be world champion? Will you be satisfied with second place gain?

Jorge Lorenzo: Yes, I would be satisfied with the second position. It is a very difficult position to get, specially now that I am riding with fantastic riders. Anyway, I want to win but I am not in a hurry to get the championship. I have to be patient.

Q: You made a few mistakes last year, what have you learnt from them and how will you avoid making similar ones this year?

Jorge Lorenzo: I think that last year's problem was that all four riders were riding at their limit at every race and in that condition it is very difficult to finish the races. It is true that I made a few mistakes of strategy or concentration that I will try to avoid this year, but I am quite satisfied with my 2009 season.

Q: Your first season in MotoGP was spectacular but included a lot of injuries. After such an up-and-down first year, did you expect to be as strong as you were in your second?

Jorge Lorenzo: I hoped to be more regular and faster. Again this year I want to try to be better but you know, maybe I will not get it. And if you can't be better, you may go down mentally, so I will try again and I will try to improve my performances.

Q: How do you think you can improve this season? Are there any specific areas you want to focus on that will make you a stronger racer?

Jorge Lorenzo: Yes, I really think that my starts are not the best. This winter I have been training very hard to improve this quality, because if you start well you avoid many problems…

Q: Have you requested any developments for the M1 this year to tailor it more to your riding style?

Jorge Lorenzo: You know, fortunately one of my best qualities is that I can adapt my riding style pretty easily, so for this reason I don't think I have to tell many things to our engineers. I think Valentino has more experience and is a very good rider, so I have my hopes to him to develop the M1.

Q: If you are faced with a replay of Barcelona 2009 this season, do you think you will know how to beat Valentino this time?

Jorge Lorenzo: Well, I really don't know what I could do if that happened again this year. One thing is what you imagine you could be doing and another thing is what you do when you are on the bike. I have seen many videos about that overtaking and maybe I could have closed the line more. But, as I said, who knows...

Q: This year you will have a new team manager and a new data technician, do you expect any changes in the way your team works and what are you expecting from the new team members?

Jorge Lorenzo: One of the main changes this year is the new team manager. Last two years we had Daniele Romagnoli, that was a great team manager: he worked very hard and we got very good results. For a series of reasons we had to change the team manager and now we have Wilco Zeelenberg, who may give me some good advices, that Daniele could not give me, because Wilco is a former rider and for sure he has more knowledge about racing. As you know we have a new data engineer, Davide Marelli, and I hope we will be doing a good job together.

Q: After two seasons, do you feel as if you're taking more of a part in the development of the bike?

Jorge Lorenzo: Yes, I am more prepared to do this job because I have more experience and I know more about the bike. I can speak with the engineers with more knowledge about this job. Valentino continues to be the leader of the development of the M1 but Furusawa knows that I must start this difficult job as soon as possible, in the interest of Yamaha and mine.

Q: There was speculation about your contract last year. Do you feel happy in the team at the moment?

Jorge Lorenzo: Yes, I am very very happy. I have always been happy in Yamaha. From the first moment I joined this factory they all welcomed me like one of the family and the ambience in the garage is perfect. To me, my ideal is to be staying with Yamaha for a long time. We will see.

Q: What do you think about some of Valentino's comments about your future together in the team? Are you happy sharing a garage with him?

Jorge Lorenzo: Yes, I am happy to be with Valentino. I think that with no other riders I could learn more than with him. In general we are the best team in MotoGP.

Q: What do you think about the rookies coming into MotoGP this season?

Jorge Lorenzo: To be honest, I did not expect that the MotoGP category could be more talented that it was in the last two years, but it seems that it will be a more and more fast category next season. For sure the coming of Spies, Bautista, Barbera and Aoyama will do the show of the MotoGP even more interesting for the fans and for the riders.

Q: Do you think Simoncelli or Spies can make as big an impact as you made in 2008?

Jorge Lorenzo: Yes, why not? They are world champions, they are young, they are very fast and they want to be fast in MotoGP as early as possible. Maybe it will not be easy to improve my debut, because I won the pole position and I finished second in the race, but if they do not crash, they could even improve my final result.

Interview with Valentino Rossi (Fiat-Yamaha)

Q: What have you been doing during the off-season? How much training and how much holidaying?

Valentino Rossi: If my time during winter was 100, let's say 50/50 between holiday and training. I went to the mountains with my friends and I snowboarded with them, which is my favourite winter sport. My training during the winter break is very different than the standard one during the MotoGP season. Anyway, I have never stopped training, otherwise it would be very much difficult to start riding again this year.

Q: How do you prepare for a new season? Is it more important to work on your fitness these days?

Valentino Rossi: Training has become more and more important, because MotoGP bikes are more and more difficult to be ridden and you need power and resistance for the 45 minutes of the race. You also have to get to the new season start in the best possible shape. At the gym, my training is pretty normal, with weights, but I always try to ride motocross or supermotard bikes at the “cava”, in order to not lose the feeling with the throttle.

Q: At the age of 31 (nearly) do you think you are still improving as a racer or do you think you have reached the peak of your talents?

Valentino Rossi: On 16th February I will be 31. I will be a little older… I always try to be at the top of my shape, improving and trying to adapt to the new bike. You always need to adapt yourself to the new bike, to the new regulation. If you think you are at the top of your performance, it is a big problem! Every season has its own story, it is more and more difficult and you always have to be faster. I will try again, as usual.

Q: Who do you think will be toughest to beat this season, Jorge, Casey or Dani, and why?

Valentino Rossi: It is very difficult to say now who will be the hardest rival this year. I think all of them are on the same level, it is difficult to beat any of them. They are very strong riders, they can be fast on every track and condition and through the entire season and they are all capable of winning the championship. The 2010 bikes will make the difference, but I think all three riders will be the more difficult to be beaten.

Q: You have made no secret of the fact that you are not happy about the new engine rule restricting the amount of engines that can be used in a season. How would you change it, if you could?

Valentino Rossi: This rule is not fantastic for MotoGP. It will make everybody's lives very difficult. Tome it is not right that MotoGP have six engines only for the entire season, it is too tight. The rule is aimed to save money, but I think engines should be at least eight; ten would be easier and less risky. All manufacturers will have to adapt to the new rule and all riders will have to be careful, in order to save the engines and arrive at the end of the season with six engines only.

Q: Last year you made more mistakes than we've grown accustomed to seeing you make. Do you think this was to do with the level your rivals pushed you to or what?

Valentino Rossi: Rivals pressure is always very high, every year. In 2009 I did three mistakes during races, which is too much, but at least two of them were very particular, because it was raining and I had slick tyres. In Indianapolis, instead, I had the worst accident and I could avoid it. In 2010 we will try to stay as much concentrated as possible and to avoid those mistakes.

Q: What developments have you personally asked to be made to the M1 for this season?

Valentino Rossi: In order to improve the 2010 M1 we have decided to focus on two aspects: we have improved the chassis, that I tested in Valencia with. Our aim is to develop a more stable bike, with more grip. The second direction, which is the most important, is the engine. We need more horsepower, despite the new rule that limits the number of engines through the season. We need more power and longer life of the engine. This will not be easy for Yamaha, but I know that they have been working very hard on this.

Q: What's your opinion about Ben Spies? Do you think he can be a threat to the current 'big four', as many people say he will be?

Valentino Rossi: There is a lot of expectation about Ben Spies. I think Spies is a very good rider and has a great talent. It is not a case that he is the current Superbike World Champion! He will surely be very competitive, he has a good potential, he's fast and brave, but of course I hope he will be less fast than we will be, because four strong riders are already too many…

Q: What are your thoughts about the news of 1000cc engines returning in two seasons' time? Is that an exciting prospect that makes you want to commit to MotoGP for even longer?

Valentino Rossi: Theoretically, I am very happy to go back to the 1000cc, because I like it more than 800cc and it is more fun. Of course we will have to see how the technical regulation will be for these engines and we will have to see whether they are fast and fun to ride like they were in 2006. Anyway, going back to 1000cc is an important challenge, as far as my motivation are concerned, and may convince me to stay in MotoGP for longer.

Q: Following your recent Ferrari F1 test, people are asking once again if you will move to F1. What do you say about this, and how do you expect Ferrari to do this year?

Valentino Rossi: I had the chance to drive the Ferrari F1 car in Barcelona. It was great, I had fun and it was a very good test, with good lap times, but I think that it will be very difficult to see me driving in Formula One.

Q: What do you think about Schumacher returning to F1?

Valentino Rossi: It has been an interesting and curious choice. It will be nice to see Michael again on a F1 car and see if he can be as fast as he used to be before retiring.

Q: Is what Schumacher is doing something you could see yourself doing, i.e. leaving MotoGP for a few years and then returning? Or do you think that, when you do decide to retire, it will be for good?

Valentino Rossi: I don't know. It is a difficult question. A lot of great sportsmen such as Michael Jordan retired and then came back, as well as Armstrong. Honestly, my objective is to not retire at all and, if I do it, I would do something else. But I don't know, it is really very difficult to say.

Q: When do you expect to make a decision about your future?

Valentino Rossi: It is difficult to say a date, anyway during the next summer I will have my ideas more clear about my future, about 2011 and 2012. I am very good in Yamaha, so I will talk to them first. Then we will see.

Q: Can you shed any light on what you're planning?

Valentino Rossi: I can tell you that I am building a new house. All the rest, I don't know; I have not decided yet.

Chelsea vs Liverpool

A quick word with John Terry, Ashley Cole and Co would soon back that up after the Liverpool hitman tore them to shreds - and blew the title race wide open into the bargain.
At this rate all those body-language experts who have been so quick to put the boot in are soon going to be out of business!
A week ago, Hodgson found himself having to defend Europe's deadliest finisher once again after a toothless show at the Reebok.
While the world and his dog were jumping on the Torres bandwagon, Kop boss Hodgson was adamant the Reds golden boy was close to hitting top form.
Well, if the last laugh is indeed the loudest, you would have heard the guffaws from the manager's office echoing all the way across Stanley Park last night.
Rivalled only, in fact, by the bellows of delight along the M62 as Alex Ferguson raised a glass of the finest red in honour of his fiercest rivals.
If the Manchester United chief was already on Cloud Nine at Arsenal's defeat, it will take a week to get his feet back on the ground after Chelsea followed suit.
Yes, the champions were indeed truly awful as they lost it in the first half. But that was more down to Liverpool's own magnificence than their own clangers.
And tormentor in chief, as he has been so often against them in the past, was Torres, with two finishes that stuck two fingers in the face of all those hinting he was on skid row.
Strike one came after only 11 minutes, with a goal that had Carlo Ancelotti tearing his hair out at its simplicity.
Dirk Kuyt's long crossfield ball drifted over the head of Terry, and Torres - after taking one touch to control - slipped it easily past Petr Cech.
It certainly brought a smile to the face of John W Henry in the directors' box - although co-owner Tom Werner had to rely on TV replays after getting to his seat 60 seconds after the opener.
Strike two came bang on half-time, with a sublime strike as good as you will see here all season.
The fact it arrived courtesy of a Cole cock-up only heightened the pleasure for Kopites. Heightened it, in fact, for just about everyone outside of Chelsea.
The England left-back slipped as he meandered into midfield, Lucas fed Torres and the Spaniard took one step to his right before unleashing an unstoppable shot into the far corner.
And that was effectively game, set and match even before they had taken a sip of the half-time cuppa - certainly the way Chelsea had played.
Outrun, outbattled and out-thought in just about every area of the pitch - but in midfield in particular. Brazilian workhorse Lucas - so often the butt of cruel jokes in his Anfield career - was only a gnat's you-know-what behind Torres with a magnificent display.
Yet naturally the Spaniard's heroics stole the show - and continued his own devastating record against the Blues as he did so.
Eight times the striker has lined up against them and six times he has found the net. If, as the mischief-makers have suggested, the Kop hotshot would eventually like to chance his arm at Stamford Bridge, he could hardly have written a better application.
But really this was far, far more than a one-man show.
There were 11 heroes in red and not far short of the same number of headless and weak chickens in blue.

Aleksandr Kerzhakov will join Liverpool?

Aleksandr Kerzhakov confirmed the rumours that Liverpool wants him to join their team. The 27 years old forward said: "Yes, Liverpool made a concrete offer and had a conversation with my personal agent, but I haven't answered to the request yet. I feel perfect here in Zenit and I like the teams' playing style: modern and attacking. Also, my team is at the top of the table. I can agree to play only in a few other teams. And one of those teams is Liverpool. So it's possible for me to accept the offer."

Kerzhakov was also asked to point the best player in the Russian Premier League: "I'm not the best player in the league. I think Danny (also from Zenit) deserves to become the "Player of the Season"

Porto supporters making fun of Benfica's goalkeeper

Porto destroyed Benfica with 5-0 yesterday. It was a big humiliation for Roberto (Benfica's goalkeeper) not only because of the huge win, but also because of the joke of Porto supporters. They threw a hen at him!

Niki Mihailov on Top Form

The national goalkeeper of Bulgaria is finally showing his full potential in his club Twente. The 22-year-old footballer is one of the main reasons for the first place of his team in Eredivisie and of the five consecutive victories of the team. In the past, Mihailov was heavily criticized; many people claimed that he was part of the national team only because of his father's influence; others said that he was completely worthless. However, the last two games of the national team against Wales and Saudi Arabia showed Bulgarian football fans that Mihailov deserves his place in the squad. His performance in Twente is not well-known in Bulgaria but further confirms Mihailov's talent. His critics have been silenced, and I hope that this will give him the chance to continue with his good games, especially for the national team which needs a good goalkeeper in the qualifications.

Jorge Lorenzo won MotoGP

Jorge Lorenzo is a racer of Yamaha and yesterday he won the 1st place in the tournament woth 383 total points from the 18 races. His achievements during this season were the following: 9 1st places; 5 second one; 2 third and 2 fourth. With this amazing result he achieved his first victory in the MotoGP class. His career began in 2002 when his team was Derbi and the class where he competed was the 125cc. His postition was 21st and this was the start of forging a professional racer. His second and third races were again for Derbi and his position were 12th and fourth. After that his team was Honda and this time the motorcycles were 250cc. Then his debut came when Aprilia found him and he achieved in 2006 and 2007 the first places in 250cc. After this he went to Yamaha where his real career began. In 2008 he won the 4th place and in 2009 he was the 2nd in MotoGP. This year he is one of the most discussed racers after he won the first place and became a real treat to the other racers. He joined Yamaha when he was 22-year old and till this moment he is still racing for them. Yamaha once again proved that they have the best racers, which are right now Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo. After this amazing season we can definately say that this person has a great future in front of him and this first place is just the beginning of a long row of victories

Levski with a New Sponsor?

There are rumors that Levski Sofia is negotiating with the Russian gas giant Gasprom about a new sponsorship contract. The chief executive of the club, Konstantin Bazhdekov, said that this was not true and that the negotiations are only for an advertisement contract. When I came across this piece of information, I could not help hoping that a Bulgarian team will finally get powerful financial support. If this happens, Levski will have the chance to compete with the strongest European teams and will finally restore the diminished glory of Bulgarian football. I hope that instead of buying new foreign footballers who cost a lot Levski will invest this money in their youth academy. There are many kids and youths that are eager to play football and only need the right guidance to develop their skills. If Levski uses this resource, they will really become a club of international importance. As cynical as it may sound, it is money that make the real difference in today's football. Levski's chance of getting a strong financial support by Gazprom seems small, but this should not discourage their fans from dreaming about it.

Liverpool back on form after deserved win againts Chelsea

Liverpool claimed the 9th place after a win over the champions Chelsea with 2:0. The match started very intense, but Liverpool were controlling the game more oftenly. At the 11th minute a brilliant pass given by Kuyt, was stopped by Torres, and the striker went on several meters before he scored and Liverpool were in front. Chelsea continued with their inconvinient play and in the 27th minute Chelsea's player played with hand in the penalty box, but the refferee didn't give a penalty. Liverpool continued with their strong play and in the 45th minute Fernando Torres received a ball at the edge of the box, and with a magnificent shot scored the second goal of the match, just before the first half ended. In the 61st minute Zhirkov shoot very preciselly, but Liverpool's goalkeeper kept his net clean. After 4 minutes Drogba couldn't score while he was 5 meters in front of the goal, and the ball hit the post. At the 75th minute Dirk Kuyt shot very dangerously towards Peter Cech, but the goalkeeper managed to save with his foot. In the 83rd minute Nicolas Anelka shot, and Reina partially saved, and the ball was off the post. The match went by and Chelsea didn't have many more chances to score. In the 93rd minute Maxi Rodrigez fell for penalty, but the refferee gave none. After this the match had ended and Liverpool claimed the 9th places, and Chelsea has advantage of only 2 points over Manchester United at the top of Premier League.

Free-Diving

Like other underwater sports the free diving needs a lot of practice and breathing skills. This type of diving is similar to the breath hold spear fishing, free dive photography , apnea and to a degree snorkeling. Unlike the scuba diving , the free dive and the apnea too are some kind of extreme sports because the person who practice them has to dive in cold water in the middle of the ocean where the bottom is really far from the air. When you free dive you can not use any equipment to help you. You can use just a diving mask and a neoprene to protect you from the cold water. Nowadays this sport is practiced all over the world. Maybe there are more competitors in Europe, France . The world Champion in this extreme sport is Guillaume Nary who reached the incredible depth of 109 meters. Incredible right? The bad thing is that not all people can practice this sport because you have to be really durable under water . First you have to be able to hold your breath for several minutes. Secondly most people have problems with the blood pressure in their head so their ears start to hurt very much and they can even bleed and if you don’t get out quickly you can die. The most incredible thing is that after you get 5 meters deep you start to feel bad so this is the limit for diving without special equipment. Free fall diving is just an unique sport and I advice that everybody who is in good health may try it.

Milan vs. Real Madrid

Yesterday the match between Real Madrid and Milan was spectacular. It was played in ,,Djuzepe maeca '' The match began really interesting. Even in the third minute Gonsalo Iguain tried to score from 20 metres from the football door but the goal keeper Abiati caught the ball. Aroung the 10 minute there was a foul and Pepe tried to score a goal by hitting the ball with his head but he didnt made it. From that moment we knew that he match was going to be brilliant because there was a beautiful game from both of the teams. In the 45 minute Anhel passed the ball to Iguain and he scored a goal. The result was 0:1 for Real Madrid. In the second part of the game somewhere around the 68 minuter Pipo scored with his head and the result was 1:1. 1o minutes later Pipo scored again and the result was 2:1 for Milan. The situation was brilliant and the goal was breathtaking. In the end in the 94 minute Pedro scored amasingly and the result was 2:2.

Because of this match Real Madrid got 10 points and the team needs only 1 more to be the winner in the group. Despite this Milan has 5 points.

Serbian Hooligan Ivan Bogdanov

The Serbia hooligan who allegedly sparked the trouble at Marassi before, during and after Italy's abandoned Euro 2012 qualifier has said the highly charged show of force was against his own team, not the Azzurri.
Ivan Bogdanov continues to hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons, but said his protests were not aimed at Italy but aimed at Serbia because of the political and financial problems in the country.
"I have a military past in Serbia,"
"I love my country. I have nothing against Italy, I have it with my team."
"I was very drunk at the match and I apologize for all problems i let to."
Not content with the tension that reached boiling point inside the ground on Tuesday night, violence spilled out onto the streets with inevitable conflict between riot police and ultras.

Ivan Bogdanov was arrested by police shortly after and he is being detained. He faces charges of aggravated damage, resisting arrest and violating a number of laws relating to public order offenses.

After his release from the police he apologized in public to Italy and he again said that his country is the problem and he has no bad feelings for Italy.
"I really like Italy" said the 29-years-old hooligan Ivan through his lawyer.

CSKA - the hope is still alive!

Tonight CSKA will be up against Rapid (Vienna) from the matches of the European League mostly to clear their name. Since the victory over Dynamo in Moscow the Armenians haven’t had a good game in Europe.

The situation in the “red” isn’t so pink, but in the last to weeks it hasn’t been grey either after the dismissal of Giore and Milen Radukanov beginning work. At least it seems so. In Vienna we will understand if CSKA’s over Minior and Beroe are not mainly because of luck

It will also be interesting what will oppose the 31 time winners of the neat Austrians. Just because it is strange. It is strange and awkward when for background we have the Viennese order and magnificence of the “Pratershatdion” stadium and we remind our selves of group A and how under the sound of the “Sinia Dunav” CSKA came in the city of Franc Josef and Ferdinand I, the Viennese wheels and donuts came into the heart of Europe, but came after a lot of arguments, fights, and protests.

The big problem that Milen Radukanov faces is the disease of Spas Delev as the short attacker he realized two goals in the two matches as Radukanov took the place of Iovanovski. By any chance the Armenians are going to make to the 4-3-2-1 as it is almost sure that Kalian Sheridan is going to replace Delev in the position as a central attacker if Delev does not heal. Aleksandar Tonev, Markinios and Gregari Nelsan will help the team as a second position. From CSKA will hope until the end that Delev will recover.

Shakhtar Donetsk with a surprising victory against Arsenal

Yesterday Arsenal played against Shakhtar in their fourth game in Group H. The night was terrible for the team of Arsenal who surprisingly lost after a long struggle against their opponents. The end result was 2-1. The game was visited by 48 765 people and the main referee was Massimo Busacca. After 3 games Arsenal scored the amazing result of 15 scored goals and the most amazing thing is that now they lost for the first time and scored only one goal, which made their points equal to the ones of Shakhtar. Arsenal are still first in their group, because of the many goals they scored, but after the last game the strength of the team is questioned. Many people may argue that the referee was corrupted or that the game was bought, but the referee judged everything correctly and made the best possible decisions. The game was very exciting and although many people thought the game was already decided after Walcott's goal in the 9th minute, Arsenal's fans were disappointed by the development of the game. Craig Eastmond scored a goal in the 27th minute, but unfortunately he scored an aoutogoal and the result became equal. The former player of Arsenal Eduardo decided how the game will end during the 45th minute. Right now Arsenal don't how to worry about their position, but they have to be more careful in the future.
