Depuis 1908, année de la première opposition entre les deux formations, jamais en effet elles ne s'étaient affrontées si tôt dans la saison.

Myrtro Chygrynskiy back to the forefront of the news of Barcelona. Ten days after the market closes, Barça reviendt the responsibility for the defender that Pep Guardiola has marked as its top priority. Despite the fact that recently from Camp Nou, he said that the deal could be done before the intransigence of his club, Shakhtar Donetsk, El Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan newspaper has found out that Barça will make a final attempt.

The Romanian community, which would have already refused an offer to Sivasspor in Turkey, and now at Lokomotiv Moscow, is not a cons going abroad to 26 years. His contract ended in November, the cost of transfer would be low.

Andrew Zolotco, the player's agent: "Right now, it is only in talks with Paris, there is nothing concrete, but we expect an offer this week. Razvan refuses to sign a new contract with Lokomotiv. He wants to play more often. It does not have any favorite destination because he wants to see what the coaches really want. After that, I know he would love to go to France and Paris. He loves this country where it has already gone on vacation. PSG could be retrieved for a small sum. "

Moreover, according to Spanish newspaper, Estadio Deportivo, Sevilla Betis be interested in Mateja Kezman to replace Ricardo Oliveira left for Al Jazhira.

More action on the football field waiting for the twenty-three year old Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo just after Euro 2008 had surgery angle. The soccer star will soon play for his English club Manchester United, as despite three months of rest recommended the reinstatement of football has been more rapid. Manchester coach Ferguson is delighted with the news, but he does not want the reader to rush back and suffer a setback. Ferguson wants to ensure it is in good health before him in full training sessions with the team.

Ferguson has been very clear in stating that "The physios must do their job properly. It is unnecessary to rush it. We do not put anyone under pressure. You may as well wait a week or two to ensure they do not end up back in the physio room. This is important. "

Cristiano Ronaldo is considered among the best players in the sport. Early in his career, he proved he has talent, outstanding capabilities and the will to lead a team to success. He already is in Manchester for three years and has gained much experience with one of the giants of European football in the world, managing to score a total of 42 goals last season. Currently, his contract is one of the better paid and there are great opportunities that could increase as he starts to receive offers from other clubs.

However, after last season and several weeks of speculation surrounding the offer from Real Madrid Ronaldo revised to keep his contract with his team from Manchester United for another year after learning that the Spanish team was unable to give the same amount as Manchester. It is now entirely in the recovery as he continues his daily training, expecting to return to the ground no later than October.


Coach Sir Alex Ferguson is one if not more interested in the return of Ronaldo as he also knows how much his presence is important for the rest of the group. It is true that there are other major players in the team but Ronaldo is the driving force and talent to take them to the next level and it is not easy to find. All Manchester teammates, fans and even the coaching staff await his return as they all wish for the title this year.

The Portuguese player is very young and he still has much to offer in Manchester yet, and subsequently the team to other possible European, if he decides to become part of a new group. Ferguson himself said he did not even someone like Ronaldo as his talent is so natural that in his long coaching career, you will find nothing like that once. However, this season will be a turning point for the young footballer as he needs to do some catching up with his numbers last season, while watching over his recent injury.

Espanyol is 20 points away from Barcelona, who is leading at the top with 32 points and is undefeated at the present. This Sunday Espanyol was unable to win at home against Sporting Gijon loosing 1-0, that result gave the delegate commission of the Espanyol a reason to sack coach Márquez of his position. ‘Tintin’ was informed of his relieve after the game and his fitness coach Xavi Pedrero was dismissed as well.

For the club commission it was very difficult to decide releasing Coach Bartolomé Márquez, especially because they knew that he is a true Espanyol. He played for Espanyol 8 years and has been in the coaching staff of Espanyol for approximately 10 years. Since his retirement as a football player, Márquez became coach in the small leagues of the club and scaled progressively to the top earning the position of head coach this past summer. However, with the latest situation of the team, Márquez was unable to find the chemistry to win.

The president of the club Daniel Sanchez expressed that this was an awkward situation but he knows that he needs to decide what is best for the club.“It was a painful decision because he is Espanyol through and through and a good man. He’s a person who understood to the very second the situation he had created. I have to thank him for what he has said to me in such a difficult period. We hope the best for him,” alleged Sanchez.

With this decision the club expects to announce the replacement of Marquez next Wednesday; for now the assistant coach Oscar Perarnau will be in charge of the first two practices of the week until the commission decides for the newcomer coach. The two candidates imposed for the club commission are Serbia coach Miroslav Djukic and Luis Fernandez, who coached the club during the 2003-04 season.

The next game of Espanyol at La Liga will be against Betis on December 7th. Betis is 11th in the table with 17 points and is looking for a victory as they also lost this past week against Valencia 3-2. However, Espanyol is looking to return in the winning path as they need it badly due to the fact that they are in the relegation zone and they really need to add some points. We hope the best for the new coach and Espanyol.

ICC Cricket Ranking: Love It or Hate It But You Can\'t Escape From It

To say that ranking is 'just another number to me' and 'I don't care about them' is a clichéd statement. But many cricket players use this oft repeated statement whenever a new ranking comes up and they see that they are listed no where among the top. Ranking in any sport be it cricket or tennis is something that many people do not like, but there is no escape from it. ICC cricket rankings are the most widely recognized and accepted rankings in the world of cricket.

ICC also known as the International Cricket Council is the governing body in the cricket world. The game is controlled and administered by this governing body. ICC cricket rankings are widely accepted as official rankings in the cricket field. ICC gives rankings both to countries and individual cricket players. Rankings given to teams depend on two factors. The first factor is the performance of the team in the field and the second factor is the strength of the opposing team. This means that if any team wins against a strong opposition like Australia, their ranking can shoot up but if the win is against a low ranked team like Bangladesh, then there may be very little change in the rankings.

ICC cricket ranking are of various kinds. Broadly the rankings are divided in to one day international cricket ranking and test cricket ranking. Under both test cricket ranking and one day international ranking there is country ranking and individual player ranking. Within both the one day and test cricket rankings, players are individually ranked based on their performance and ability. So you can see the list of top ten batsmen, top ten bowlers and the top ten all-rounders in the world. The ICC provides a list of all top 100 players of the game for those who are really interested in knowing about players those who do not figure at the top ten.

Cricket fans eagerly await the release of the list of top players and the top playing cricket nation after every major tournament. Players are ranked on a scale of 0 points to 1000 points. ICC cricket rankings takes in to consideration the past performance of a player for giving rankings. So this means that even if a player is not active in the international cricket scene for a long time due to any reason, he can maintain his ranking at the top ten based on his previous exceptional performances.

Sachin Tendulkar of India is the best example of this. He was not active in the international cricket arena for about four to five months. However due to his consistent performance in the past he was in the list of top twenty players for a long time. The latest ICC cricket ranking has Australia as the top team for both test matches and one day internationals. Adam Gilchrist of Australia and Shaun Pollock of South Africa are the top ranked batsmen and bowler respectively in the latest one day international rankings released by the International Cricket Council.

Cricket World Record is a Road to Success

Cricket, cricket and more cricket! This is what we all are hearing and seeing in the present scenario. Cricket has become an obsession for children and teenagers. It is the effect of cricket that we get to see a Sachin, a Brian Lara, a Harbhajan, a Steve Waugh or a Shoaib Akhtar in every house. Every cricket fan has complete knowledge of the cricketing records of their favorite players. Some collect this information as a hobby, while others collect them for enhancing their knowledge of cricket.

Cricket world records enable a player to establish his stand in the world of cricket. In fact, this is also a ticket for the players to enter the "hall of fame". Cricket world records are the road to success for a player. For example, Shahid Afridi holds the cricket world record for scoring the fastest 100. On the other hand, Sanath Jayasuriya holds the cricket world record for scoring the fastest 50. Their cricket world record has made them a household name. The records have also helped the players to gain good rankings on the popularity chart.

Many a times, cricket world records put great pressure on the players. The pressure can affect their form of playing. After making a record, they have to live-up to the expectations of the viewers. If they fail, the entire empire established by them will collapse. It is because making a position is very easy, but maintaining it is a tough task. Every player has to be careful about his cricket world record, as they can be broken by another player. This can be a great setback in their popularity.

Cricket world record can be made in the field of batting, bowling, wicketkeeping, and so on. Apart from this, cricket world records can be classified into test records and ODI records. The test matches are played for 5 days and the average is judged on the basis of their overall performance. Sachin Tendulkar is famous for holding the cricket world record of scoring maximum number of centuries in ODIs and test matches.

As compared to the test matches, ODIs are viewed with much greater interest. It is because many viewers like quick decisions and hate to wait for 5 long days to see the final results. Such viewers like to see the "making and breaking" of the cricket world record in just one go. Cricket world records in these tournaments are remembered more. But this does not mean that test match records do not carry importance. The basic difference is that, it is the matter of choice and liking for a particular way of playing.

Cricket world records are a sheet of the achievements of various players. It is according to their record that they are valued. Be it bowling or batting, cricket world records are cherished forever. If we look at the bowling side, Wasim Akram holds the record for taking highest wickets in the test matches. On the other hand, Shane Warne holds the record for taking highest wickets in ODIs. Cricket world records are not just restricted to individuals, but are also made by teams. Such records are a collective effort of the team, which puts them on the world ranking chart.

The Fun of Fantasy Football

Fifteen to eighteen million people play fantasy football every year-and the numbers are growing rapidly.

In fantasy football, you "draft" or auction an imaginary team composed of real-life football players (this can include NFL professionals or college players). They then score points based on their actual performance in real games.

Your fantasy tournament progresses in much the same way as the real football games. You go head-to-head, competing against another opponent each week.

If your team scores the most points by the end of the season, and has the best win-loss record, you win.

Fantasy football was invented by Danny Dulac, one of the organizers of the Raiders. He thought of it during a road trip to the east coast, and by the time he got back, he had fleshed out many of the rules and was "ready for kick off". Today, there are thousands of websites, magazines and software that are dedicated to fantasy sports.

This is how it works. You have a fantasy league with 8 to 12 teams, with players drafted at the start of the season. Depending on the league you join, you start with a clean slate every season or have a permanent partial roster (these players can't be included in the annual draft). Some leagues will have you keep the entire team and just draft rookies. At any time during the season owners can change their team by firing some players (that's life) and hiring free agents who were not drafted. You can also trade with other teams.

The scores are based on how the players do in their weekly NFL games. For example, a player gets 1 point for making 25 passing yards, 10 rushing yards, or 10 receiving yards. He gets a whopping 6 points for a touchdown (unless it's a passing touchdown, where he just gets 4). Errors can also affect your score. For example, every interception that is thrown subtracts two points. This also applies to fumbles.

Defensive scores are a little harder to compute, so some leagues opt to compute the scores primarily on yards. (They say it is more realistic and mimics the way an actual game works.) Defensive statistics such as sacks and fumble recoveries are then subtracted. To get the number of touchdowns, the total score is divided by a particular number (sometimes 80 or 100). Then any field goals made by placekickers are added to that score.

It's a very exciting game and adds a new dimension to the already popular game of football.

After months of analysis and projections leading up to the April 25-26 NFL draft followed by days of draft recap and team grades, we focus on what really matters to us; how the draft affects our fantasy football leagues. While we may have thoughts on the absurdity of the contracts signed by high draft picks, it has no effect on our fantasy football team’s payroll. Players may have been drafted higher or lower than projected, but that has no impact on where they will be drafted in our leagues. What matters most to us is if the player will play and if it will be this year or in upcoming years. Let’s take a quick spin through the NFC and look at each team’s new additions that could factor into our fantasy football drafts.

Arizona – The Cards happily grabbed RB Chris “Beanie” Wells with the first pick in the second round. He will play immediately as Edgerrin James was released and Tim Hightower appears to be best suited as a goal-line back. Beanie should be drafted in one-season in rounds 4-5 in standard 12-team leagues and rounds 3-4 in Keeper leagues.

Atlanta – Eight picks, all on defense. So, obviously, the Falcons D is the only position that improved. They have some solid additions to support their corners as well as help John Abraham, especially DT Peria Jerry, S William Moore and DE Lawrence Sidbury. This will propel them into the top half of draftable defenses.

Carolina – DE Everette Brown and S Sherrod Martin will help the defense a bit, though not near as much as keeping Julius Peppers will. Their defense should remain in the same draft position.

Chicago – The Bears did pretty well considering they only drafted on Day 2. WR Juaquin Iglesias is a nice addition to a weak receiving core and could be a productive late round pick on draft day. DT Jarron Gilbert will help the Bears D out a bit, though not altering their draft position.

Dallas – The Cowboys traded their way into a lot of worthless picks. Even though the Cowboys had no draftable backup QB last year, I do not believe that QB Stephen McGee is in that category this year. If you draft QB Tony Romo, your backup should be a starting QB on another team.

Detroit – QB Matthew Stafford is giddy knowing that he will be given the reigns to a winless team, so the bar for success in worm-high. It also brings a rare smile to his face when he envisions WR Calvin Johnson in his huddle. However, he is still a rookie QB on a winless team, so don’t pick him as your number 1 QB. He should be drafted higher in Keeper leagues. TE Brandon Pettigrew is a must-draft TE in later rounds.

Green Bay – Green Bay’s D was productive in the TD category last season, but was a bit of a sieve. Adding DT B.J. Raji and LB Clay Matthews enhances this position a few rounds.

Minnesota – The Vikings grabbed WR Percy Harvin to add a new dimension to their offense. The kid can flat-out play, if he adjusts to life in the Twin Cities. I would definitely recommend picking him up in early double-digit rounds.

New Orleans – The Saints’ D was startable at certain times last season coming off the waiver wire. That will change a bit this year with the additions of CB Malcolm Jenkins and S Chip Vaughn. I feel good recommending drafting them in the last round.

New York Giants – The G-Men addressed their biggest need right away by drafting WR Hakeem Nicks. He should be drafted in early double digit rounds. I would recommend a late round handcuff of RB Andre Brown if you draft Brandon Jacobs. RB Derrick Ward is now on Tampa so Brown will be taking over for him.

Philadelphia – Philly will have the most rookies drafted this year. They landed WR Jeremy Maclin, TE Cornelius Ingram and RB LeSean McCoy. Maclin may be a DeSean Jackson clone in playmaking ability, which is good if he waits until he crosses the goal line to celebrate his scores. Ingram will be a favorite target of McNabb when he needs a tough catch across the middle and McCoy is a must-draft handcuff to Westbrook.

Seattle – LB Aaron Curry will definitely help Seattle on defense, but makes no difference in fantasyland. WR Deon Butler was drafted to replace Bobby Engram, but I see no reason to draft him unless you are in a really deep league.

San Francisco – The Niners get a gift in picking up WR Michael Crabtree with the 10th pick. He is the class of the receiving group and will be a flat-out receiving stud in the NFL. I don’t think you’ll get him if you wait until the middle rounds of your draft. You especially want to grab him early in your Keeper Leagues. In addition to Crabtree, the Niners picked up RB Glen Coffey who should be your handcuff to Frank Gore.

St. Louis – The Rams picked up T Jason Smith to replace Orlando Pace and will show immediate dividends in the passing and running game as Pace is vastly overrated and almost stationary nowadays. That being said, Marc Bulger is a late draft pick and Steven Jackson is still a first round pick. As much as I love LB James Laurinaitis, he doesn’t make the Rams D draftable in any format.

Tampa Bay – Good luck with QB Josh Freeman. If he only played as well as he talks. He has the size for an NFL QB (6’ 6”), but I don’t even recommend drafting him in a Keeper League.

Washington – The Skins further enhanced their defensive front by drafting DE Brian Orakpo. In addition to line help, they also grabbed two LBs and CB Kevin Barnes. This greatly enhances the attraction of the Washington D and moves them into the top 8-10 defenses to draft. Author Resource:- Bill Parsons is the owner of MaximumFantasySports.com and
