It was a great alpine skiing world cup weekend for us here in Finland. Our own alpine skiing star, Kalle Palander, won Giant Slalom in Alta Badia in Italy. This was the third victory for Palander in Alta Badia. Although Alta Badia’s race is one of the most difficult alpine skiing races in the alpine [...]
With Fabio Capello reportedly set to take over the England manager job vacated by Steve McClaren, now is as good a time as any to close two concurrent polls Soccer Source has been running for the past fortnight. The polls asked readers to predict where England will finish in their qualifying group for the 2010 World Cup and inquired if the Three Lions "will win a World Cup or European Championship in your lifetime?"I originally intended the mini survey to gauge England fans' moods after their team's historic collapse against Croatia. But it soon occurred to me that this method was flawed on several levels: there was no way to limit participation to England fans and the "your lifetime" bit was by definition subjective--and potentially self-fulfilling, if particularly distraught fans decided to take their lives into their own hands in the near future (a very real concern, judging by what was portrayed in the country's media. Talk about self-fulfilling. How can you not contemplate suicide
Dall'8 al 16 Dicembre 2007 si disputerà in Giappone il Mondiale per club (FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2007).

Tutte le partite del mondiale per club saranno visibili live gratuitamente sui canali stranieri free-to-air in quanto i diritti sono stati acquistati dal canale digitale terrestre Mediaset Premium per l'Italia (a 10 euro).

I am sitting here at home and watching men’s giant slalom from Beaver Creek. Finnish Markus Sandell took just the first position. There is a very nice weather in Beaver Creek. Man, I wish I was there. No, I am not there skiing in Beaver Creek. I am here in Finland, watching the melting snow [...]
Austrian Michael Walchhofer took the gold medal in men’s downhill in Beaver Creek. Walchhofer took his 12th World Cup victory with time 1.13,74. Second was Steven Nyman who had difficulties to keep control after 70 meters jump. Aksel Lund Svindal crashed in this same spot in training. It seems that Svindal will not continue this [...]
And then there were two… The ink has barely dried from the discussions of England’s European Championships debacle, courtesy of Croatia who cruelly drove the final stake into the coffin, and fate has brought them together again.
Last Sunday, the results from the preliminary 2010 World Cup draw revealed that both teams are now in Group [...]
Norvegian Aksel Lund Svindal took the first position in men’s super-G alpine skiing race in Lake Louise in Canada. Svindal’s time in Sunday’s race was 1.29,19, while Austrian Benjamin Raich came 0,42 seconds behind. Third position was taken by Swiss Didier Cuche with time 1.29,79. This was the second victory for Svindal who now leads [...]
England was drawn into a Group 6 with Croatia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Andorra. Looks like it could have been worse for the Three Lions. Several groups look a lot tougher. Take a look:Group 1: Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Hungary, Albania, Malta.Group 2: Greece, Israel, Switzerland, Moldova, Latvia, Luxembourg.Group 3: Czech Republic, Poland, Northern Ireland, Slovakia, Slovenia, San Marino.Group 4: Germany, Russia, Finland, Wales, Azerbaijan, Liechtenstein.Group 5: Spain, Turkey, Belgium, Bosnia, Armenia, Estonia.Group 6: Croatia, England, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Andorra.Group 7: France, Romania, Serbia, Lithuania, Austria, Faroe Islands.Group 8: Italy, Bulgaria, Ireland, Cyprus, Georgia, Montenegro.Group 9: Netherlands, Scotland, Norway, Macedonia, Iceland.Not sure if there is a "Group of Death," except that England's group isn't it. Of the nine top-seeded teams, Croatia is arguably the worst. Group 2 is probably the weakest group. I don't understand how Israel could be
Swiss Marc Gini has taken the first position in World Cup slalom race in Reiteralm in Austria. Unexpected winner took the gold medal in Sunday’s windy and snowy race. This young (23 years) alpine skier was leading after the first run and kept the position until the end. Gini was 0:0.28 seconds faster than the [...]
Austrian Marlies Schild, who dominated the cup in last year, took again the first position in Reiteralm. Even though she made a clear mistake in the second round, she was able to climb from third position to the first one. Second position was taken by Austrian Nicole Hosp, 0.06 seconds behind Schild. Italian Chiara [...]

If you are lucky enough to be at home during the day with no school or work to go to this month you could be enjoying the Women’s World Cup. Unlike the men’s world cup it isn’t talked about on every TV or Radio Show or written about in every newspaper but this doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve the same attention the men’s version of the competition gets.The lack of press coverage isn’t helped by the fact that the tournament is being held over in China which means the kick off times are during the day so many people who are at school or work can’t watch it live. So this means if you want to watch it you have to get some kind of recording device in order to follow it’s progress.If I asked many people to name an England ladies football team player many would probably struggle but if I asked them to name a player for the men’s side they would be able to tell me in a heartbeat even if they had never watched a game. In an era where England is not developing many world class

I am a cricket lover. So I thought of creating this quick post.Congratulations Sri Lanka. You have played beautiful Cricket and YOU WILL WIN....(Sorry My dear Australian friends)Article is bought to you by,
Lean manufacturing blog
Many of you might at least heard about a sport called cricket. For my visitors who are from UK and India there is no need for introduction. But my US friends might have to learn little bit more on this topic.ICC cricket world cup is the event which will crown the Kings of Cricket for coming four years; this is the equivalent of FIFA world cup. Confused with content? You are reading learnlean Blog, do not worry. With cricket fever is catching the world fast; I think there is something every lean manufacturer can learn from the latest trends of cricket.In early 1990’s a score of 230-240 was very good batting first and it was considered a hard target for the opponents. But in the mid 1990’s things changed. Unlike batsman in old days who thought they should survive and meanwhile collect whatever runs possible, some teams introduced a new concept to batting which made the game upside down. Teams started thinking every ball they face as a scoring opportunity not as something to survive.
The “World Cup” fever has taken over. And what will be a better time to write something about world cup than this? But in no way this article is related to world cup cricket! So please excuse me if you expected some nice world cup cricket analysis here.
But this article is surely about how to win the “Testing World Cup”! Never heard of it? Well, I am sure you must have faced such situation at
Cricket's biggest event is just four days away, and I can't wait! It seems days away, though its very close. It's like when you want to pee urgently, you don't want to hold it in any longer and just want to open the flood gates, but the restroom seems miles away. That's how I'm feeling at the moment! That Australia got anally raped by England first, then New Zealand makes things more interesting, because this one wouldn't (hopefully) be a one-sided event like it was the last time around.This is probably India's best chance at winning the Cup, since most sides are plagued by injuries. It was a miracle that India got through to the finals the last World Cup with a weaker side than the present one. Plus, the momentum was missing last time, after the team was anally raped by New Zealand (not that there might be a coincidence of the Aussies getting into the finals this time around). But this time, we're the only team along with South Africa, England and New Zealand to go into the World Cup
With Rugby World Cup fever gaining momentum I found myself thinking about the great finals since 1987 and the great players that entertained us all. No doubt this year will see some more heroes made in rugby’s premier event, but can we ever forget the previous greats that took the field? And just who was [...]
The notion of a Rugby World Cup had first been contemplated in 1979, but it was not until late-1983 that the Australian Rugby Union and New Zealand Rugby Football Union submitted written proposals to the International Rugby Football Board (IRFB).
