5 things you must know about Brazil 2014

 

This must be one of the coolest articles I have ever written and I really enjoyed writing it: 5 things u must know about Brazil 2014.

I took time out to write on my other blog: lovershideout  that is why I have not been really working on this site but truth be told I really missed working on this site. So i hope you all understand and please note I would from now on work on this site like I did before. Only world cup in which England did not pass the group stage,

So Brazil 2014 has been a success as it is the world cup with the current highest amount of goals scored; best so far officiating especially with the introduction of goal line technology; best recent outing from south america countries,

Uefa CL semi finals .

 
The first leg between altetico  Madrid vs Chelsea fc went down very interestingly as both teams made sure they did no give space for errors and tactics were all on point for both sides as the happy on made his defence line sit deep and very compact. Only Chelsea's middle field players worked their hands off because they had to defend and close all the spaces that the athletico Madrid players were trying to create all through the match.

I really see why Diego Simeon is the most feared manager in Spain because he has made his team a team to fear with all due respect to the other teams in Spain but this man has made atletico Madrid a team to respect with the little resources that he has at his disposal he has been able to make a team worldly of respect and very compact at the middle of the pack. No wonder they are at the top of the league in Spain with the way the closeup the middle field and try to out work central middle fielders with their distribution of the ball and very strong defence minded mid-fielders.

I think the first leg went very well for Chelsea because they did not conced and goal and only have two players missing the next match which is the return leg of this fixture in London. The injury to goalie in the early minutes of the game caused a scare to the blues fans as a lot had their hands in their mouth whenever the ball was in the a team box. Thanks to the fitness of the second goalie whom had a nice match with a number of stunning saves and superb presence at the back made the game very enjoyable from both ends of the pitch.
We certainty look forward to the return leg and how the happy one is going to mount his attack .

Do you see Chelsea fc going to the finals of this season's champions league?

77 years of wait now over, Thanks to Andy Murray.

Mr Murray was certainly not the man everyone expected to win Wimbledon from the start as must have had a lot on his mind before the semi finals.  Although, Andy Murray was seeded as the world number 2 he still had to win as many matches as he could and against some of the toughest opponents you can ever think off.

His exceptional performance made a lot of people believe in his ability to win the competition when he made it o the finals and was going to play against the world number one. It was a very difficult match as the world number two took the first set giving hope to the every Murray fan. But the world number one did not just give up. He fought and came back win a fight that kept everyone at the edge of their sits.

In some sense, Andy Murray had the crowd behind him and he just powered his way through the match and made some errors that were very unusual as the pressure was just unimaginable. He played every shot like it was his last and did not give up especially in the last set that  looked  totally over because he had dropped two sets and everyone was expecting the usual come back that is well know of the world number one.

Both players went on and just could not help the tension they both built and made the final really very exciting. I look forward to the remaining of tennis season to see how the top players would future and make each other work their socks off.

I believe that Andy Murray would become world number one very soon if he continues to play at this rate .What do you all think?

Carlos Tevez In the old lady of Turin

With two scuddeto in the trophy cabinet, Jeventus are already making it known to the world that they are  going for the domination of Europe and making  things go their way.

Just two seasons ago Juventus FC went through t e season winning the scudetto without losing a single game. Showing how the team has grown in deep from season to season. With the inclusion of good players that have had good experience of the game.

With the lack of attacking options last season saw Juventus struggling with   scoring goals, apart from that the old lady made it to the round of eight in the European champions league only to lose out to high scoring side Bayern Munich. Who went on to win the champions league that season 2012/2013 .

Juventus Fc are really building a team that would make an impact in the next champions league campaign. That we all look forward to the beginning of the serie A .

Carlos Tevez has been a prolific  in all the teams he has play in from Corinthians though Manchester city.

Scores a lot of goal, put a lot of work into the development and provision of goal scoring opportunities that is hard to say he is one of the best supporting striker I have seen in a while because he has a lot energy.

Technically he is just out of this world in that he can pass accurately, he does know how to take set pieces, he has speed, acceleration, positioning and balance. He is intelligent and can change the look of any game at any time just with his wits and pace.

Like every human ,Carlos Tevez can be very difficult to manage especially with the problems he gave the Manchester unite manager Sir Alex Ferguson who had to let him go without a fight. Then,  Tevez went on to join Manchester city where he help the citizens win their first cup in some forty three year, which was a remarkable achievement for the team. This was achieved with the contribution of Carlos Tevez  who scored very important goals for the team .But he did tell his manager, then,Roberto Mancini who found working with Calos Tevez very difficult and left Tevez on the bench for three months.

In all, Carlos Tevez would make a good addition to the old lady as the look to strengthen  their team  ahead of next season to retain the scuddeto  and challenge for  the champions league trophy. Spotting the famous number ten jersey for Juventus, Tevez has to make a mark and make the club as well as their supports proud of their new signing.

J.Cole Bone Sinner

The second studio release ablum for J.Cole under the Roc Nation and Coloumbia Records.

This is an independent review of the album and production.

 Villiate:lyrical dexterity is at it best when it comes to J Cole who is a protégé of Jay-z in the Rap game. He shows off his ability to romance the beat and still be within his lyrical strength and story line, pretty nice song if you like the real hip-hop song.

 J and the snake:J cole has a way of telling a story within a song that is really funny and true at the same time. He puts a lot of real life story into his songs and that is what I appreciate about him. His emotions at the moment and the trial and things I know he does not want to share are all come out when he is telling the story and the same time being real to the hip-hop world.

I particularly like the song with Miguel as it gave us his at picture of how it would feel to be in love with some one that is in love with someone else and you are really not happy about everything. The air spins the song has received has gone a long way to show how much people accept and like the song. J coles made us appreciate the fact the we are all human and can sometimes make some funny mistakes.

Mo money interlude: What can you say about money that we all want to have some of? J made it seem so simple but at the same time heartfelt, I love to make this song part of my collection and his philosophy he speck out.

I try to look at what Jay –z see’s in this guy and i think it must be his ability to transfer the message within the song and still make you feel the delivery along with the song. Jay –z must think of J.Cole as the Next Biggy because the brother has almost the same ability to carry a story that is really nice.

I would like to compare to Bone sinner to Cold summer?

She knows: This must have been a sequel to daddy’s girl that had so many things about our day to day pretty young girls of today, I like his delivery and pace on the song.

A pretty good album that had some of the best producers on it.

Mostly of the song has to talk about the everyday facts that young guys face every day and still try to be with the women we love and sleep with you, with Kendrick on the track what you think would be like? Forbidden fruit.

Must be what different races think about wealth and investment .Can it be a Jesus pierce of some Investment.

J.Cole must have tried to make the song go with the TLC belief that women and man should be real to themselves and family for real.

Word be told let Nas down is my personal favourite on the album because Cole retold the story with a touch of his life in it, beautiful the  way he did it . Love that song from the first time I heard it.(Long live your idols they would never be your rivals, Pap like Jesus and Nas wrote the bible) for real .

One of the best J.Cole songs I have heard thus far.

Bone sinner felt like Jesus walks, but a damn good song.

Miss America had a lot of politics in it and the reason why we should pay attention to what is going on around us all.

South American Rivals face off in the semi finals of the Confederations cup.

This could better be renamed the Neymar vs. Louis Suarez. These two players have been very influential.

To their national terms and club sides. With Neymar making the best of the confederations cup to show his potentials to the world before he goes over to Camp Nou to begin what I think is going to be very beautiful and lucrative career .

Unlike Neymar, Louis Suarez has not had a nice tournament thus far apart from a super free kick he took against the La Roja. He has been relatively calm compare to his former self when he is playing for his club side just a few months ago before Louis’s ugly incident with Ivanovic of Chelsea fc.

With the quality of players in both sides the game is going to be one of those games you wish you can see all the time but then we do not get what we always wish for. Do we?  As for record, the selecao has won the last two meetings with a 4-0 thumping in June 2009.

Think of this Luiz Felipe Scolari first ever match in charge of the selecao in July 2001 ended with a defeat to the Uruguay. This must be his avenue to pay back the Uruguayans for the favour.

 In playing against a team with super talents like Edison Calvani, Diego Forlan and Louis Suarez is going to be very challenging for a side that have very quick and attack minded defenders like David Louis ,mecelo,Danny Alvs of  the Selecao. Who would rather attack than defend for all I can tell you they are going to face a test of character and understanding.

Not only does the Celeste have to contend with the abilities of Neymar, they also have to watch out for the side backs that seem to only attack rather than defend. Coach Oscar Tabarez is going to ask a lot of his defence and mid field to make sure that all the selecao  attack plans can be covered.

The match is going to be very interesting technically and physically. It would be the kind of football match that technicians and students of the great game would do anything to see.

There would be goals but very technical and intelligent game plays.  

Champions of Europe Vs. African Champions

Like every football follower, Spain at the ongoing confederations cup is one, if not, of the best teams in the tournament. But playing the super eagles is going to be a real test of character for the Spain national  team. A team that only conceded a single goal against Uruguay and have scored in every match that they have played, as well as won. 

The super eagles have only won the match against Tahiti and have quit a number of players playing for clubs outside their country. Which is ranked 33th in the Fifa world ranking, just after coming out victorious in the Orange/Caf Nations cup.

The team has not lost a single match until the match against Uruguay’s national team. The result from that match would no doubt help to put a sense of urgency in the super eagles team as they face La Roja.

The game started with the European champions within, the first minute of play , already in the box of the super eagles asking all the questions of the defence and the goal keeper. Only scoring the opening goal would come at exactly three minutes of play from the side back Jordi  Alba

Making the super eagles pay for the lack of focus in the opening minutes of the game. Immediately the African champions got on with the game and put up some really good attacking movement but were just not sharp enough at the top for a goal that would have change the colour of the match.

The possession of the ball was amazing 56 percent to 44percent for La Roja and the super eagles respectively. Even with such a possession for the Africans there were relatively limited at the top where they really need to the presence of a Sharp attacker, someone in the like of Victor Moses of Chelsea FC.

On the field of play there was enormous gulf technically between both teams as the European champions showed more technical and tactical ability than the super eagles. Their pass were more accurate , they had better presence in the middle of the pack. Where the Nigerians tried to make as many tackles as possible to make the game difficult for the La Roja .

The arrival of Torres was greeted with a brilliant pass from the wings which he dispatched with super speed that the Nigerians goal keeper could not do anything about the goal. The super eagles tried everything they could up front but still could not get the goal as Ideyen was wasteful and Ahmed Musa was his usual  predictable, lack of technical delivery made life difficult for the Nigerian attack.

The Third goal was scored by Jordi Alba who is In my option the man of the match. I would say the flop of the match for the second game running is Ahmed Musa. Who has repeatedly failed to play his part in the team and made the Nigerian attack look blunt and silly.

Well in all it was a good game and the manager of the super eagles i.e. Stephen keshi has to make sure he gets his attack to work and the winger should know why they on the team. In the same vein, we look forward to the next match for the La Roja.

What would you do to make the super eagles better if you were their manager?
