Brazil's World Cup squad has just four strikers!

Brazil not having a top quality striker is like the Dutch hockey team not having a top penalty corner specialist; the Australian cricket team not having a great fast bowler or the American basketball team lacking an all-star guard - its surreal…..

Top 5 Goalkeepers of FIFA World Cup 2010

They are the last line of defense. On their performance hinges the team’s fortunes. Presenting the top five goalkeepers who will be seen in action in this Fifa World Cup. Breathtaking reflexes and the ability to hold the nerve in crunch situations separates them from the rest. Over to the shot- stoppers.

Iker Casillas - Spain

Age- 29 Height- 5 ft 11.5 inches Club- Real Madrid International debut- 2000 Caps- 103

DESPITE Real Madrid’s ability to self- destruct, one man who, throughout all this, has remained consistent is Iker Casillas. The breathtaking saves, speed, reflexes and the ability to read the opponent set him a notch above the rest.

He has shown for both club and country, helping Spain to the top of European football two years back. Fans would be looking for an encore from ‘ Saint Iker’ — as he is fondly called at his club — if Spain is to reach the pinnacle of world football.

And that would cement his place among the greats of the game.

Gianluigi Buffon - Italy

Age: 32 Height: 6 ft 3 inches Club: Juventus International debut: 1997 Caps: 100

HE has been there and done that.

He played a pivotal role as Italy won the last World Cup and will have to be at his best if the Azzuri are to repeat that feat. But age, injury and poor form seem to have affected Gianluigi Buffon’s performance. But as they say, cometh the hour, cometh the man, so ‘ Gigi’ can’t be ruled out till the final whistle.

Julio Cesar - Brazil

Age- 30 Height- 6 ft 1 inch Club- Internazionale International debut- 2004 Caps- 47

BRAZIL have always been known to produce brilliant outfield players.

But rarely has the country produced a keeper of the class of Julio Cesar. If his club form is anything to go by — he braved a car accident and facial injuries to defy Barcelona in the Champions League semi- finals — Dunga has reason to feel pleased.

He is brilliant in oneon- one situations and has the guts to go for the impossible.

Having won European club football’s most coveted trophy, he is out to conquer the world.

Mark Schwarzer - Aus

Age: 37 Height: 6 ft 4.5 inches Club: Fulham International debut: 1993 Caps: 73

WHILE football is considered to be a young man’s game, one man who has rewritten this regulation is Mark Schwazer. The 37- year- old has re- invented himself with age. He has unfinished business having failed to save a penalty in the 2006 World Cup against Italy which sent Australia out of the event. With rumours rife that Arsene Wenger plans to sign him for Arsenal in the next season, the World Cup will provide him another incentive to show his true class.

Tim Howard - USA

Age- 31 Height- 6 ft 3 inches Club- Everton International debut- 2002 Caps- 50

HE might be representing the United States — a country more known for its love of basketball, baseball and its own version of the football — in the World Cup, but Howard is one player who excels on the big stage. He will also have good memories of South Africa where he won the Golden Glove award for the best goalkeeper at the 2009 Confederations Cup. This will only add to his confidence.

His knack of saving penalties will stand US in good stead when they go out to prove the world that their run to the final of the Confederations Cup wasn’t a fluke.

Brazil's World Cup squad has just four strikers!

brazilwallpaper2 BRAZIL'S WORLD Cup squad has just four strikers. Sevilla’s Luis Fabiano, Santos’s Robinho, Wolfsburg's Grafite and Villarreal's Nilmar. This bunch will hardly send a shudder down opposition defenders; that job will probably be left to the likes of Kaka and their marauding full backs.

It is shocking to see that there isn’t a single forward from one of the top European clubs in the squad.  Nor do they have a striker, who’s lead any of the major leagues in goal scoring. And not that Dunga has left some great strikers at home. Ronaldo and Adriano are way past their best.  There is the precocious Pato of AC Milan but he hasn’t quite  started setting the Seria A alight with his goals.

It seems inconceivable but it is the truth.

Brazil have an acute shortage of world –class strikers. The assembly line of the world’s greatest exporter of football has stalled after the likes of Ronaldo and Adriano.

Look at what the other teams have:

Bitter rivals Argentina have Carlos Tevez of Man City and formerly of Man Utd, Lionel Messi of Barcelona, Diego Milito of inter Milan, Kun Aguero of Athletico Madrid and Gonzalo Higuain of Real Madrid.

Landon Donovan ready to fulfill his FIFA World Cup dream in South Africa

2010-logo BEST AMERICAN soccer player of all times, Landon Donovan, wants to kiss glory of FIFA World Cup Football in South Africa. It has been hectic year for Donovan who followed the David Beckham’s advice and took clue from England’s international’s example and opted for loan spell in Europe.

While Beckham’s period with AC Milan ended in an injury, ruling him out of the World Cup, Donovan’s successful spell with Everton enhanced his reputation. After failing to make grade in Germany, the California’s success at Goodison Park showed he definitely had what it took to be top player outside America.

Donovan said, “The experience was priceless for me. The games were always fast and ultra competitive and my time there certainly made me a better player.” “I feel like I had to learn the respect of the fans, and once I did, they were always going to support me. ”

The 28-yaer-old has appeared in two previous FIFA World Cup finals and scored 42 goals in 121 international appearance of his country, making him the all time top scorer of U.S.

He debuted against Mexico on October 25, 2005 and scored. He scored twice in the U.S. run to the last eight in the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, where he won tournaments best young player award.

The 2006 edition in Germany was disappointing for Donovan as well as the team. His excellent form helped the U.S. team to reach the finals of Confederation Cup last year. Increasingly used by Coach Bob Bradley in a wide midfield role, he can also play off a target man striker and he may find himself back in that role at times in South Africa.

Commonwealth Games to promote sports in India

Commonwealth games is  an intense mixing of sports and politics. In India sports is not a five letter word but it is a seven letter word that is Cricket. Commonwealth games were a political connotation. It was political game which basically meant that any nation who wants to join commonwealth has to have a relation with one of the commonwealth games nation. Cameron became a part of commonwealth by practising such a method. In 1950’s South Africa was excluded from participating because of the fact that Apartheid was still practised and African people were considered as slaves. There was a huge hue and cry when Africa requested Robert Malden who was a right extremist of racist view not to make rugby players of newzeland and Africa to meet which was rejected and hence led to boycott in 1976…..
