Real Madrid vs Manchester United...(Take 2)

As a United fan I'm really excited to watch this game because it's one of a kind.Dubbed as the best tie in the second round this match wasn't disappointing during it's first leg and I bet the second leg would be much much better.



The whole world would stop to watch these two giants play tonight.Ronaldo returning to Old Trafford,Mourinho and his mind games,Ferguson and his tactics.Everything would play a part tonight.Looking back at the stats,actually it's very difficult to call these teams apart form the other,actually it's too close to call this game.The bright side for United it that they have this tie at home!...

Actually if we compare both the teams men to men or according to the team sheet,Real Madrid are  wayy better side compared to United...but those crap don't count any more.Football these days are just open,if the better team slacks abit then the opponents are ready to punish them.

Well lets get to tactical talks here.Who will start at centre-back?..I strongly feel that United would start with Ferdinand/Vidic and Evans...Evans has been really outstanding this season,So there is no doubt he will start.And now we look at who will take Jones's position that he played during the first leg.I personally feel the right one for this job of tracking down Ronaldo would be Cleverly.As he is young and energetic and tactically he also gifted.Hmmm,for the attacking part of the team there is no doubt that Persie and Rooney would start,But here comes a question on whom he would choose between Welbeck and Kagawa.

As everything mentioned above,Madrid are the favourites to go through on papers but we United never give up till the last minute!...Giggs on his 1000th appearance,He would also come up with some of his magic from his dusted wand..:)..

My final word for this game would be an evenly matched match which might head to extra-time or a very very narrow win for United...Do expect both the sides to score tonight..

Super Sunday..

CAN THE GUNNERS GUN DOWN THE COCKERAL.?




Ahhhhh.this is the game I've been waiting for.Tottenham against Arsenal.Gunners have been bragging about their 5-2 demolition of Spurs the last time these two met but I believe tonight it's not gonna be the same tale as Bale might have other plans..*HAHA*

Beware of BALE.!




Tottenham are actually a team that has been on form for the pass couple of weeks now where as it hasn't been the same for Arsenal.Arsenal have been having a season of up's and down's thx to their pendulum form.LOL.With their defensive woes I think Arsenal would find it difficult to stop Gareth Bale,as told by many as the man of the moment.Both the teams haven't lost in the previous 5 League games and both the teams are on a 3 games winning streak.!..Too close to call eh.?

HAHA!.Well I'm going to take the risk of calling this game a Spurs win.Spurs are a team that has felt the pain of not getting to play in the Champions League even after doing well last season.So this season we've seen a much more determined Tottenham trying very hard to redeem themselves.

Lets just sit back and enjoy the Game.

Saturday Soccer

Woke up this morning thinking that I would write only about one game but unfortunately there are just too many games today and none of them seem like a great rivalry or something.So today I will be writing about Certain games only. :D

The first game is going to be the match between Manchester United and Norwich.


So with Real Madrid in mind will the manager rest his big guns.?..Well I guess he wouldn't,since loosing the title to Man City by goal difference last season United have been really cautious with their tactics.As for today they would start with their big name players just to give them a run till the game is secured.I believe United has the firepower to wrap this game up early considering Norwich and their 10 match win-less streak before snatching a win last weekend.My pick for today would be United nicking a narrow win. :)


Haha this next game is my favourite,not because it has anything but the manager of this team makes me laugh every time I watch him on the screen. LOL.!.It's the tie between Chelsea and West Brom.


What I wanted to say,Ermmm Lampard..?..He is the one helping the team and propelling the team with Mata but looks like he ain't getting a new contract any time soon.This club has soo many issues lately which I think is affecting their performances.Even their own fans aren't backing up the manager..?..Where else for West Brom it has been Chelsea's loaned player that has been their main man,Lukaku has been on an excellent form lately scoring and assisting goals.But he won't be able to play today against his own club.So I believe Chelsea will be able to punish West Brom due their lack of strength upfront.

Ok now this will me my final pick of the day and most probably the best for today..The match between Swansea and Newcastle.


These teams are actually equally balanced in terms of attack and defence.But with Swansea just lifting their first ever trophy last weekend they will be on high spirit to proof something today!..Newcastle aren't to far either,after their shopping spree during the current transfer window they managed to bring in good players  hence turning around their season.As the final verdict,a very exciting and entertaining match is expected.Do expect an evenly matched game.!


So buckle up for tonight as a few upsets are expected.. :)

Have Fun Guys..

Can Spurs spur themself to 3rd place.

Harry Redknapp managed to get Spurs into the 4th spot last season.Looks like the Owners weren't happy with that and then came in Villa-Boas.Guessing that the Owners would want to finish slight better or finish at a better position this year.!.Well Spurs could have played the Champions League but 'Thanks' to some unexpected turnaround.!..




As a safety precaution This season I believe Spurs would want to finish 3rd in the league to firmly place themselves in the Champions League next season,well what an achievement that would be for AVB.!.finishing above the club that sacked him.Their magic spell would be ABRACADABRA,BALE THE SCORE-RARR...ha ha!....He,Gareth Bale has been on a very good form lately scoring goals for fun.So if they could get Bale running around like a kid with a new ball,He would cause hell alot of problems tonight.

But you can never underestimate West Ham,they have Hammered Chelsea at Upton Park,drew against Manchester United and Manchester City.So they are actually not an easy win at home!


If he loves you then you;re DOOMED


A draw and balanced game would be my choice,but if Bale is on song then there is no way stopping him..!.So keep your eyes peeled for Gareth Bale.

Fifa confirms that goal-line technology will be in place for the 2014 World Cup


Fifa announced plans on Tuesday to introduce the technology to the game’s flagship tournament and invited tenders from interested providers, and the Premier League later revealed that it was “close to entering a formal tendering process” as well.
Fifa hope to confirm which of four systems they have chosen by “early April” so the technology could be used at this
summer’s Confederations Cup in Brazil.
The game’s world governing body trialled the camera-dependent ‘Hawk-Eye’ and magnetic field-based ‘GoalRef’ at December’s Club World Cup after granting both licenses for worldwide use.
It is understood ‘Cairos’, which is similar to GoalRef, has passed Fifa tests and a licensing agreement is likely to be signed by next week, when it is also expected to be announced whether an unnamed fourth system has passed the testing phase.
Fifa said in a statement yesterday: “Fifa has decided to use GLT at the Fifa Confederations Cup Brazil 2013 and 2014 Fifa World Cup Brazil.
 Uefa president Michel Platini is against the proposals

Battle for the second spot

I think It's time to look at the"Match Of The Week".It's going to be a match between 2nd placed Man City and 3rd placed Chelsea.!...Both are separated by only 4 points which means a win for Chelsea would take them just 1point behind Man City.

Chelsea is still in all the major Cup competition that they've played,The Fa Cup,European Cup and they are still fighting for the second spot in the EPL.With Spurs right behind their back Chelsea would be most probably Depending on their in-form unsung hero,Lampard.




Lately it looks like both the teams are equally matched.There has been a number of wins for both clubs against each other and a draw but if you look at this fixture 5 year ago whereby Chelsea didn't drop a single point
against Man City since year 2005 till 2009.!...But the team dimension of Man City has changed hugely Thanks to their new owners.!...

This weekends game would be a mouth watering clash between the two giants of EPL..

As the final verdict,I would say that It would be a much Balanced game BUT do expect Man City to go all in for it.!...

Epl Saturday

So,the weekend is here and the Football weekend is also here...My favourite team will be playing today!.It's Manchester United...haha!...Well they are leading by 12points now which I think is kinda worrying,not because of anything but Im worried that they would get carried away with their comfortable lead at the top.

For their opponent this weekend which would be QPR(Queens Park Rangers) I think todays game is a DO or DIE situation which I assume they would play their life out to get a win.




Well QPR have failed to record a win against Manchester United since 1992..That's 21 years!!..Well when this kind of stats appear there's always a high chance of an upset coming.Since Rooney wont be with the team for this game I guess It would be Persie and Welbeck to start but everything could change.

For the final word and as a United fan I'm expecting a tough match since the Rangers are at home.Rangers do have their Good Days as they have not lost to Chelsea,Man City and Spurs during their latest meetings.So what I would advice all united supporters is that,Just sit back and watch the game for the fun of it. :)
SMILE

Yes!..Its about me :)

Lets seee.Ok I'm not going to make this too official.hmm...My name is Vinoth which I think many would have guessed since my blog is also named the same.Age 21(yeah,I just hit the "BIG" 21) but everything feels the same..I still get firing from my parents if I come back home late.."HAHA"...Parents will always be the same I guess,But that's what they do best!..CARE FOR US...



Im the one with the white t-shirt.

Ok lets get to the reason why I'm staring this blog.It's all because I have not much to do at home,so instead I've decided to write what I'll be doing on my daily routines .Owh yeah.so here comes the reason why I named my blog 'SMILE'. Well,A wise man once never told me that It's wrong to smile all the time so I decided to do so.Yes!.I smile almost all day long..There was once when I was 10 years old I was getting firing from my class teacher for not finishing up my homework and guess what I was doing..?..."SMILING"..She got soo annoyed and called my dad to school and all  my balloons burst that day.!.But I went back home smiling..There is no use of regretting I guess?..So SMILE and make others Smile as well.. :)

Well I do drink at times(socially) But I don't smoke ciggs.The funny part is,I do smoke shisha..!..Well its because of the flavours I would say.I like sports(represented my beautiful country at International Junior Athletics Meets)..Nyeh nyeh nyeh.!.

My circle of friends are mostly my childhood friends.Most of them are from my primary school whom went to the same high school and many of them are from my high school..Thanks to social media!...

Owh yeah,By the way I'm from KUALA LUMPUR.From the small town named Kepong.. :)

I think I should stop writing about myself since I would be writing lotsa stuff about my self soon...By the way,I will also be writing about Football(EPL) mainly(Manchester United) but you guys could drop me request for other teams(need to do a little homework before I write) and Champions leagues maybe(my views on the games and if possible The out comes of the game! ;D) most probably I will write about the games the night before the game or maybe few hours before the game :) ...I will also be posting about Healthy food and diet(My daily experiences from what happens around me)..

That's It for now I guess. 

SMILE :)
