They emerged victorious against Manchester city, Napoli, Villarreal but lost a single match when everyone was confident about their win. They also reached the finals of the German cup.

Their performance against teams in semi finals is impressive. They won in a match opposing Real Madrid and also attained the European title for the fourth time in 2000. They faced some consecutive losses as well in 1999 against the Spanish clubs.

The memorable time of the team is the one week span when they scored 20 goals after losing matches at Bayer and Basel. Their awesome performance restored the hope among the fans and players as well.

The coach of Bayern, Jupp Heynckes says in an interview, “I verbally influenced my players to give their best and start and end the season with equal enthusiasm.” The top scorer of the team was Mario Gomez, who scored 11 goals and had a high probability of getting the top scorer of the league title.

Mario Gomez says, “I am in no way near to Messi. So I will never even dare to compare myself with him. He is a legend. I am just being able to perform for my team and that is what that matters the most right now. I thank my teammates for making this easier for me.”

Admin — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:24:13 +0000

The top scorer of AS Roma is ruled out of action for two months and this shocker came at the time when the team was preparing for the crucial encounter against the 12th positioned Chievo Verona. Osvaldo has netted seven goals after his arrival in the team. As the striker Marco Borriello left for Juventus, it was crucial that Osvaldo to fill the gap, but his thigh strain during a training session may prove to be costly for the team of Roma.
There has been a series of woes for Roma that finished off the year of 2011 with two wins over Bologna and Napoli. The team is missing David Pizarro, who is the key playmaker. Pizarro had to move back to Chile, which is his native place because of some family issues. He himself confirmed this news through a statement made on the website of the club.

AC Milan is also reported to have placed bid for signing Argentine striker Carlos Tevez. In fact, Inter Milan is also into the negotiations to get Tevez in their team. However, the vice president of AC Milan Adriano Gallani said that his agent and Tevez had met in Rio de Janeiro to discuss things further. During the same period, it was reported that sporting director of Inter Milan had a meeting in London with the City delegate Brian Marwood.
With the inclusion of Borriello from AC Roma, the joint Serie A lead Juventus is expecting to go full force. The inclusion of Borriello has definitely strengthened the striking attack of the team and the team will definitely like to capitalize on this aspect.

Wood still deciding whether you sign with the Cubs or retire

Admin — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:23:48 +0000

As per the sources, Kerry Wood is not going to return to Chicago Cubs in this year and the main reason behind this is the disagreement on duration and money of the contract. Wood, who is now a free agent, said that he would determine where he is going to pitch in the coming season. Another team, which is interested in this reliever, is Philadelphia Phillies. Last September Wood told reporters that there were no plans of him leaving the Cubs, and that he might retire if he did not play for the Cubs. Even though the front office of Cubs is obstinate to get back Wood, but the issues seem to be a problem.
Earlier Wood signed a very generous deal of 1.5 million dollars for one year and turned down a number of offers from teams such as Red Sox and White Sox, which were offering him a whopping sum of 5 million dollars. However, now he is looking for a deal, which is nearer to the market value. The Philadelphia Phillies want to sign Woods, but they seem to be waiting for Jose Contreras recovery prior to determine whether they should pursue Wood or not, as they can easily afford Wood.
The former general manager of Cubs Jim Hendry and Wood came to an agreement for helping out the team for reinstating Wood’s affiliation with Cubs. However, prior to re-signing the deal with Cubs Wood had his first face-to-face meeting with Tom Ricketts, who is the chairperson of the team. During this meeting, Ricketts assured Woods that can work with the Cubs as long as he wants to. Sources also say that Ricketts did not go deeper into the details of the job offer that he made to Wood. However, when Wood left the meeting, he felt that his job would be like an ambassador for the team after his retirement.
The main question is still the same, whether Wood will sign the contract or he will retire. During the time when he is still deciding, he can use it for other clubs or he can actually think of signing a deal with some other team. According to Wood, he will announce his decision until the weekend. There are no plans of Cubs participating in the World Series in the coming year, but they have traded Sean Marshall, which has created a gap in their late innings, giving more leverage to Wood.

What should the fans expect from the fight between Mayweather and Guerrero?

Admin — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 09:13:18 +0000

There are rumors of a fight between Robert Guerrero and Mayweather in coming May, and there are a number of critics, who feel that Guerrero does not stand a chance against Mayweather. Those, who are true fans of boxing, hold a different view. They feel that this time Robert Guewrrero has much better chance than Mayweather. This is not just about what the fans feel, as Money May Productions is also making a smart move by accepting Guerrero’s fight, and similarly Golden Boy Productions is also smart enough to let Guerrero challenge Mayweather. This makes it a well-deliberated match.
On comparing both the fighters, Guerrero does not look smaller than Mayweather, as they share almost the same size. Guerrero stands strong with 5’8 feet height and 70-inch reach. On the other hand, Mayweather stand tall with 5’8 as well as 72-inch reach. In the coming time, Guerrero might actually prove to be bigger as compared to Mayweather, as far as their frame is concerned. In fact, if you take a look at the 147 division, you will find that at 147, the top contenders are actually not even 147 yet. Last year, Victor Ortiz somehow made it to 140, and when he advanced to 147, he was the top challenger already and as being a heavy underdog, he also took away the WBC belt from Andre Berto.
There are many players, who are moving forward to 147 this year, and this includes Maidana, Brandon Rios, and Devone Alexander. As compared to these players, Robert Guerrero has moved up from 135, to 140 and now he is ready to take on 147 this year. This makes him a better contender as compared to other names included in the list. Many critics also judge Guerrero on the basis of his fight against Michael Katsidis, in which Guerrero’s performance was not very commendable.
From the business point of view, this match will be profitable as well, as this fight will attract a lot of attention because of two main points. The first is CincoDe Mayo as the venue of the match, and the second is Mayweather’s presence in the fight. Many fans still want to see their favorites Mayweather and Pacquiao fighting against each other, but this is the time for Guerrero to shine. Guerrero’s style does not match with Marquez, as Guerrero is much more than bigger and stronger. This will make this a great fight to look out for.

Lopez seems ready for the rematch with Salido

Admin — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 13:45:36 +0000

Normally, it has been seen that the winner of the previous boxing match emerge as a winner in rematches. The main reason behind this is the memory as well as the confidence gained from the last fight. No matter, whether the player has come with a full-proof game plan, but he still loss and some people predict the same result for Juan Manuel Lopez
(28 Ko’s, 31-1). He is going for a rematch with Orlando Salido (25 KO’s, 37-11-2) after his defeat in the previous match. Their match will be held in Puerto Rico and it is scheduled on March 10.
Bob Arum, Lopez’s promoter made a wrong move, when he matched Lopez with Salido. Actually, he thought that Lopez would be able to handle Salido similar to the way in which Yuriorkis Gamboa did seven months ago. However, the same did not happen with the case of Lopez, who was not able to match up to the power and skills of Mexican Salido. There were many Puerto Rican fans of Lopez, who thought that there was no need of stopping the fight, but some thinks that it was the right move, as Lopez was not able to tackle the blows of Salido.
Now, when Lopez is ready to take on Salido one more time to get back his title of WBO (World Boxing Organization) featherweight, it will be interesting to see what will happen in the coming match on March 10. Loyal fans of Lopez will definitely be there for the fight, but the result is pretty clear. Salido emphasized that he is a better fighter than Lopez, and a rematch is going to be a bad idea for Arum. Lopez will have to fight over six rounds devoid of gassing, if he wants to win the match against Salido.
The former champion is already preparing himself for the match against Salido, as Salido stopped him from winning the featherweight title in Bayamon. Bob Arum also discussed the official date of the match with Showtime, and it seems that Showtime wants the rematch. Lopez’s fans feel let down after the first match, and they hope to see their champion back on the ring as soon as possible. Lopez should take advantage of this rematch to regain his lost confidence and he even looks stronger and bigger as compared to his earlier fight with Salido. If he stick in some rounds, then there will be more chances of his winning the fight.

Dave Duncan clears his points for leaving the team

Dave Duncan, pitching coach of St. Louis Cardinals, is now set to take a leave from the team, as John Mozeliak, general manager of the team, announced it. He also mentioned that there is no fixed time for Duncan’s return as well. Duncan’s wife is fighting with brain cancer and he took a leave earlier when his wife underwent surgery back in August. Derek Lilliquist, who is presently the bench coach of the team, will replace Duncan as the pitching coach. Further, Dyer Miller is chosen for the position of bullpen coach. Earlier, Miller has acted as the pitching coordinator minor league for the team.
Duncan has been on the position of the pitching coach for Cardinals from 1995, when Tony La Russa was the manager of the team. Before this, he was a pitching coach for Chicago White Sox, Oakland A’s and Seattle Mariners from 1982 to 1994. After this announcement, Duncan also clarified two important points officially. The first point is that his wife is doing good, fighting with brain cancer, and then next point is that, he is not resigning because of the resignation of manager Tony La Russa. Duncan also said that he wanted to come back and coach the team in 2012, but the time is not right yet.
It is time, when the spring training is ahead, and with the Jeanine’s treatment going on presently, Duncan realized that she requires his primary attention. The process of Jeanine’s treatment is very complex and requires attention to even the smallest detail. With the kind of progress his wife is making, Duncan did not want to interrupt the process. He understood that he has to be there for her all the time, so that she can gain most benefits out of her treatment, which calls for a very close monitoring.
This makes it clear that Duncan is taking an open-ended leave from the team, and might not be back for 2012. His family and his wife is the first priority for him now, so he has backed off from the team. With Tony La Russa, Duncan coached the Cardinals for the last 33 seasons, which is a pretty long time and he has coached the last sixteen seasons with St. Louis. After the World Series Championship La Russa retired from the team, and many are considering this as a reason for Duncan’s leave. Duncan is still under a contract for the coming season, and the team is working on his replacement for the season. When out watching Dave Duncan or perhaps some other sporting event, be sure your family and home are protected with a surveillance camera system. There’s no reason to take chances these days, so when you’re looking into the matter, be sure to see this sites surveillance cameras - they have all types.
