Why Lionel Messi is the Real Deal

Not just because, in his fledgling career, he’s actually lived up to the expectations that goes with every hot, young Argentinian talent - the comparisons with the legendary Maradona
Not just because he’s been the most consistent player for Barcelona last season, when stars like Ronaldinho and Eto’o had injuries, bad form and ego to deal […]

Some Shameless Gloating

The past week has sure been busy and I had a lot of things going on. Academically that is. Although that didn’t stop me from blogging, on the other blog.
For those not aware, I had started a football fan blog dedicated to Manchester United: Red Rants. Of course, thanks to Ahmed from Soccerlens for […]

Of Lakshmi Mittal and Football Clubs

I am expecting this piece of news to make it big in the Indian media. Lakshmi Mittal (yeah that steel guy) is apparently linked with a possible takeover of English Premier League football club Birmingham. I remember the frenzy when Baichung Bhutia moved to third division side Bury.
For those who don’t follow football that much […]

EPL - The Biggest Threat to Youtube?

¶ Published Tuesday, May 8th at 1:12 am ∞ In Soccer, Internet, Technology3 Comments »

The following post, although stems from football, is very much relevant for any other form of entertainment from video hosting sites like Youtube. I had posted this on Soccerlens, but feel it to be fairly general to be posted here too. One doesn’t need to know football to get the point of this post. So […]

United Clinch Premiership Title, Spidey disappoints

At long last. After waiting three years it must be said, the result is satisfying to say the least. Chelsea needed to beat Arsenal to stay in the hunt for the league title, but they only managed a draw, after being down to ten men.
So now I will celebrate in the quiet confines of […]

Kaka Blows United’s Treble Dreams

I fleetingly mentioned United’s clinical demolition of Roma in the Champions’ League quarterfinal. I wrote a preview to the first leg of the semi final against Milan on Soccerlens. However yesterday, in the second leg of the semi final, was when I saw some past masters of the game systematically take apart a team that […]

Lionel Messi - Maradona Comparisons Resurface

This is for those football ‘fans’ who wake up once in four years for the World Cup and lapse into deep football insulation after that. Although it becomes harder to ignore feats such a this [refer Youtube video]. Plenty has been said about Messi’s potential to fulfill the prophecies that burden a lot of Argentinian […]

Treble Dreams Still Alive

¶ Published Tuesday, April 10th at 11:08 pm ∞ In Manchester United, UEFA Champions League, Soccer, Sports2 Comments »

It’s been a feature of United’s performance throughout this season, with all their attacking verve and flair, demolishing teams at will. But to do such a feat in Europe was going to take something special. Today’s UEFA Champions’ League quarterfinal against Roma was one such example of pure footballing masterclass. A team that was trailing […]
