With two wins from the two group-stage matches played so far, one may assume that Arsenal is doing well. We have to remember, however, how hard it was to win the two matches. The first was a "resurrection" from the dead and the last required some "divine" intervention. The big question is whether the club's performance so far proves that all is well. How far will Arsenal go in the UEFA Champ...

What a match! Ten-man Ghana u-20 football team defeated 11-man Brazil team in Cairo to lift the coveted trophy. This victory is memorable for many reasons; first it is the first time an African country is lifting the cup. Before this year's competition, the best performance for African countries is second place (twice by Nigeria and once by Ghana). Secondly, the competition was held on African ...

On the average the match was good and the result even made it better! Many would have given Fiorentina no chance to shock Liverpool the way the team did. This result has brought a new twist to the permutation and combination of the chance of each team from that group to procede to the next stage. Well, Liverpool's performance in the first half of the game was woeful to say the least. However...

I didn't watch the match but have my reservation about the performance of FC Barcelona. We should note that we can only access FC Barceloa better when the team goes to play Dynamos Kiev in Ukraine and Rubin Karzan in Russia, those matches are going to be difficult. Also, we cannot afford to forget that Barcelona's home game against Inter Milan is going to be another cracker. If Barca can escape...

To be candid it's difficult to say with any certainty the team that will win this season's premiership. I, however, agree that the winner is likely to be any of the top four teams and, may be, any of Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspurs. I feel a bit confident to say that I feel Manchester may not win the league this time. Chelsea seems to be the most determined team to win. However, with ...

It is good to try to do something to help relieve the person one hurt; sometime this may not be possible however.

Some situation demands unorthodox approach like apologizing even when one know that one didn't do anything wrong. This approach may help in relationship until both parties are in good mood to settle their differences amicably.

Uuhm, you brought in another important factor into this discussion: Time. It's often said that: "Justice delayed is justice denied". The same is true of sincere apology.

emmanola commented in a discussion called Will Real Madrid Win the 2009/2010 UEFA Champions League? in soccer.

For now it seems most soccer analysts believe Real Madrid's chance of success in the UEFA Champions League is 50:50. We can't afford to write off the team, the quality of players is great and we can't afford to over-rate the team at the same time; the team has failed miserably in the past (even with players in the mold of the one presently in the team).

Hi Akuler, I think there is a need to clarify some information you presented. I think Florent Malouda is a French and not from Cote d'Ivoire. John Obi Mike is a Nigerian and not from Cameroon as you stated. The chance of Nigeria qualifying for the South Africa 2010 is very slim indeed; the country currently trails Tunisia by two points with only one game remaining to be played by each team. ...
