Football gala

One more year of fantastic and riveting football has drawn to a close at the European championships and Barcelona have been crowned the undisputed kings of Europe and defending the title of kings of Europe still remains a feat that is beyond the best football teams in the world. At Rome Barcelona out played Manchester United in every aspect of the game and their bewildering passing left United bewitched. It was slated to be a show between the star man and the quite one. But Lionel Messi showed in the end why it reminds Diego Maradona of himself in his younger days. Ronaldo tried but failed to make an impression but Messi held a jump to finish a magical header that sealed United’s fate. Such was the dominance that it brought back the nightmares of the four nil defeat that United suffered in the nineties. In the end the score board was not that bad but result was the same.

Barcelona - the best club at the moment contd

The result was United paid heavily as the out of
form striker Eto'o easily went past Vidic and scored for Barca. After
that goal, United rarely put pressure on Barca. In the second half, by
introducing more attacking players, United did leave a gap in the
midfield. That proved costly allowing two of the best midfielders in
the world - Xavi and Iniesta to move freely. They were playing
football out of the world. If it wasn't for Van der Sar, Barca could
have scored at least two more. Messi nailed the coffin with a superb
header and it was game over for United. Frustration was clearly
evident after the United players started to pass the ball poorly and
also made some stupid tackles. United did have a good squad but they
were no match for the passing football played by Barca. Though it
wasn't Messi's best night, he was surely better than Ronaldo and has
once again proved that he plays for the team and not for himself.

Barcelona - the best club at the moment

Before the start of last night's Champions League final in Rome,
people were talking about Manchester United being the best and will
defend their title. But there were people who were thinking that the
match against Barcelona to achieve European glory is the real test for
United. And indeed it was as it proved all those who were expecting
Manchester United to win easily. It could have been an United win as
the Barca defense was hit with injuries and suspensions. But the
makeshift Barca defense was enough to stop the powerful United attack.
Of course United were attacking with confidence during the first ten
minutes but made nothing out of those. Cristiano Ronaldo kept on
shooting from outrageous positions expecting to score one like how he
did against FC Porto.

FOOTBALL vs. CRICKET

The most popular sports of our time are the cricket and the football. Eleven players each play both of these games. Both these games have many common things including the number of players and the number of teams played at a time. Each of the game has been played in a large playground. Both the games have attracted millions of fans ranging from small children to old aged. In the business perspective also, both the teams have emerged as the best competitors in the marketing and the advertising agencies. The number of sponsors coming for the cricket and the footballs are overtaking the number of sponsors for the other sorts of games like the tennis, volleyball and basketball. Beyond the perspective of a sport, both these games emerged as some form of religion in this world. The football players and the cricket players have been considered as some form of supernatural heroes. However, one should be aware of the fact that these fame and respect will be sabotaged once the player or the team does not perform well consistently. Thus, these types of player worships should be avoided in both the football and the cricket for the well good of the team and the players image. Also viewers should take the games into a sportive one and refrain from indulging in any sorts of indecent activities.
