LeBron James #6

Mar 3

Posted by Marlon in Sport

After first floating the idea in November, LeBron James will be following through on his plan to honor the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan, by changing his uniform number from 23 to 6. The paperwork for the change was filed Monday, just in time to beat the Wednesday deadline.
“I’ve done it,” LeBron told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “I already sent it in. I’m going to be No. 6.” Now, the league just has to approve the switch, which it will because LeBron’s new jersey is sure to be a best-seller, just like when Kobe Bryant switched from 8 to 24 or Andray Blatche from 32 to 7. OK, that last one might not have had jerseys flying off shelves. While LeBron’s tribute is pretty cool, it also seems a little off to me. I’m not going to dispute the greatness of Michael Jordan, but there have been some pretty legendary number 6’s in NBA history. Guys you may have heard of like Bill Russell and Julius Erving. And also Bonzi Wells, but that’s a different story. You like sport? You should try bet on sports.

FIFA Cup 2010 Predictions

Posted by Marlon in Sport

The FIFA World Cup 2010 has no doubt spread the frenzy among the football fans but the fact that it is a contest between the national teams of different nation makes it a real tough task to predict the winners of the tournament. Obviously every football lover will have his favorite team or player and want a respective team to clinch the cup.

And before predicting or make assumption about which team would qualify to the finals let us look in to the booty that each team will make in course of the event.

Every team was awarded $ 1 million towards preparations, the team that get expelled in the group stage will receive $ 8 million, for the team that qualify to the Round 16 will receive $ 9 million, quarter finalists will get $18 million, semi-finalists will receive $20 million, runners-up will get $ 24 million and the winners of the World Cup 2010 will get bag a staggering $ 30 million.

The seeded teams are most likely to cross the hurdle of the group stage of course unless and until we do not have surprise performances from the weaker teams.

Group A has France (7th rank) and Mexico (15th rank) that look like strong contenders. Argentina with 8th rank and Nigeria holding 12th rank will move ahead strongly from Group B.

From Group C it could be England (9th rank) and the USA (14th rank), Serbia and Germany with 20th and 6th rank respectively will march ahead.

In Group E Netherlands (3rd rank) and Cameroon (11th rank) seem most likely to make it. Italy with 4th rank and Paraguay with 30th rank are strong teams from Group F.

In Group G Brazil with 5th rank and Cote d’Ivoire with 16th rank have a great chance and from Group H No.1 ranked team Spain and Honduras might take a leap.

When Ohio State lost at Michigan in its first game of 2010, the Buckeyes were without their best player and on their way to a 1-3 start in Big Ten play.They’re looking a lot less vulnerable now.With eight wins in their last nine games, Evan Turner and the ninth-ranked Buckeyes appear primed to avenge their loss to the Wolverines and stay in the hunt for the regular-season conference title as they host their struggling rivals Saturday.Ohio State’s 73-64 loss in Ann Arbor on Jan. 3 was the last of six games Turner missed due to a back injury, and Michigan took advantage by earning just its second win in its last 11 meetings with the Buckeyes.
DeShawn Sims had 28 points and Manny Harris added 24 in that game as the Wolverines’ top players stepped up.
“It kind of left a sour taste in our mouth, and it’s Michigan,” Ohio State’s David Lighty said. “When you think of Ohio State and the school up north … it doesn’t matter what it is. It could be badminton out there playing, but it’s Ohio State vs. Michigan, so it just makes it that much more competitive.”

Canada Steam Rolls Germany!

Feb 26

Posted by Marlon in Sport

After taking a 5-3 defeat to the Americans the Canadians avenge their loss at the hands of the over matched Germans. With an 8-2 final, they set up a huge battle on ice between Alex Ovechkin and the Russians.

Canada was all over the German club from the drop of the puck out shooting them 14-4 in the first but would only leave the period with a 1-0 lead on a Joe Thornton goal.

But unlike in the game against the Americans the Canadians would finish their chances in the second. Scoring three straight goals in a span of only 6:18.

Canada’s first goal of the period which lead to a 2-0 lead was off the sick of Shea Weber as he unleashed a cannon from the point that would actually go though the mesh of the net and the play would have to be reviewed to see if it did go in. But there was no question to the goal as this blazing shot from the point went right though the netting.

Jerome Iginla would put home the next two Canadian goals that would add up to a 4-0 lead.

The Germans would get one back on a wrap around attempt for a 4-1 game as they started getting some shots on goal. Only being out shot by one in the period they still trailed by three in the game. Down three goals the Germans new it would be a tough feat to come back from as they haven’t scored more than three goals in a game during the tournament.

Crosby, Richards, Niedermayer and Nash would all tally in the third to put this game well away for an 8-2 whipping.

Roberto Luongo made his return between the pipes after Martin Broduer’s under par outing to the US. He will be in goal again against the Russians. Luongo faced a total of 23 shots letting in two while Canada put up 39 shots on goal putting home eight.

The Hockey world will all be watching when the two Hockey powers go at it. Who you ask? The Russians and the Canadians. While many expected this game would be for Gold, it comes three rounds early. One of these two teams will go home with nothing.

Weather it’s the Penguins and Capitals or the Canadians vs the Russians this is the Super Bowl of Hockey! Crosby vs Ovechkin in a best vs best battle. Winner will move on the Loser goes home or in Canada’s case they won’t have to travel to far with a loss.
