Novak Djokovic vs Andy Murray Live 07.07.2013 final Wimbledon Tennis

               Novak Djokovic vs Andy Murra

    Wimbledon final Championships Live 2013
            Category: Grand Slam tournament

                             Sunday, July

                       TIME: 9:00 AM (ET)

Where I come from this is what I call a popcorn match, it’s the type that you just want to sit back on the sofa and enjoy — and for me it is that kind of one-off contest which is too close  to call as Andy Murray tries to battle his way to his destiny.
When I see players of very level technical standard up against each other I always look at the intangibles, but in this case even those are arguable either way.
Novak has won two of their Grand Slam finals to Andy’s one, but then you could point to their one meeting on grass. That was a huge occasion, the semi-finals of the Olympics last summer and the Brit prevailed, so he will take that on to the court with him.
What I can guarantee is that you will see two of the all-time great movers on a tennis court playing each other. However often I watch these two guys, and I was lucky enough to work with one of them, I am always amazed by the athleticism of two big men who stand 6ft 2in (Murray) and 6ft 3in (Djokovic).
There is a sense that this is Andy’s time, but when you look at his opponent there is so much in his game that is dangerous.
 
 
 
Murray has a superb return of serve but Djokovic’s has been phenomenal in these past two years.
I watch him receive 20 first serves and sometimes he manages to get 19 of them back, and usually into a reasonably neutral area where he can start the rally on equal terms.
 
He so often gets into the perfect position from which to deliver his groundstrokes, and that helps the aggressive forehand and down-the-line backhand which is a signature shot. And there will be no problem about Novak not believing in himself.
 
 
 
That said, Murray has come  through so much to reach the final and you have to admire the pressure he has withstood. It could well be that now he is in the championship decider with a clear goal it will free him up to make history, and he has the priceless experience of having been there 12 months ago. We will have to see if Novak’s exhausting, brilliant semi-final is a factor.
One more thing I am pretty sure about: it will be a great contest with these two always dragging some magnificent tennis out of each other

Brazil - Spain llive 30.06.2013 final FIFA Confederations Cup

                                                            

                                                 Brazil - Spain

                                     Match Schedule:
               Competition:FIFA Confederations Cup Final
                         Date:Sunday, Jun 30th,2014
Now, nearly three years on, Spain are once again in South America and once again outsiders, only this time Brazil wait for the world and European champions in a dream final of the Confederations Cup at the Maracana on Sunday.
This could quite easily be the World Cup final next year, although Spain will be hoping if that is the case they get longer to prepare having been taken to penalties by Italy in sweltering conditions on Thursday.
Roberto Soldado and Cesc Fabregas have returned to fitness and Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique should be fine despite missing training, while reports in Spain suggest Vicente del Bosque is considering a start for Javi Martinez.
Brazil boss Phil Scolari has no injury problems and his major decision is whether to stick with the underperforming Hulk. Lucas Moura or Hernanes could come in for Hulk if Big Phil decides to drop the Zenit forward.
The Confederations Cup hosts have lost one home competitive match in 50 years – the last of which came in 1975 - and are slight favourites with bookmakers to deny the all-conquering Spanish another trophy.

Spain and Brazil clash on the football field in the Confederations Cup final on Sunday, it will be Spain's golden generation against Brazil's young brigade.
The Spanish team has won back-to-back European championships and the World Cup with their current team and will be hoping to add the Confederations Cup to the list tonight.
Brazil who are playing at home will have the stands full with supporters as their young players look to set the football team on a path of victory with this win as the 2014 World Cup which will be held in the country draws close.
Neymar has been the star of the Brazilian team with his goals and passes while Spain has seen brilliance from the team as a whole. Brazil who have won the World Cup five times have been unsuccessful for sometime now and will be hoping to change their fortune with momentum as they face the World Champions.
The match promises to have a mix of Samba and Flamenco on the football field from kick-off to the final whistle. Fans can only be ensured of a thrilling encounter

Spain vs Italy live 27-06-2013 - FIFA Confederations Cup 2013

 
 
The second of the Confederations Cup Semi-Final on Thursday will pit Italy against Spain. The two sides have split the all-time series with each having notched 10 wins while drawing the remaining 11 games. Spain has had the edge lately though with a 4-1-2 record against the Azzurri since the turn of the millennium and La Roja have eliminated Italy in each of the past two European Championships (most recently with a 4-0 thumping in the 2012 Final). The Spanish have dominated everyone lately having not lost a game since a 2011 friendly against England in London and having not lost a competitive match since their opening game against Switzerland in the 2010 World Cup (which they of course went on to win anyway).
 
 
Italy will unfortunately be without their leading scorer and focal point in attack, Mario Balotelli. Balotelli will not even be in attendance as he has been sent back to Milan for treatment on his thigh. Balotelli’s club teammate Ignazio Abate will also be noticeably absent from the Milan lineup. With two key starters missing Italy will be reliant upon two players returning from injury and suspension; Andrea Pirlo and Daniele de Rossi. The midfield pair really pulled the strings sitting in front of the defense in Italy’s 4-2-3-1 during the first two games. In those two games De Rossi and Pirlo completed 246 passes averaging 85% and 90.3% passing accuracy, respectively. Each player has also added one of Italy’s 8 goals and Pirlo added an assist as well. De Rossi is also leading the Italians with 3.5 interceptions per game.
 
 
Vicente del Bosque’s side have (unsurprisingly) scored the most goals (15) thus far in the tournament. Spain will undoubtedly run a 4-3-3 dominating possession at the feet of some of Barcelona and Real Madrid’s brightest stars. The back line of Jordi Alba, Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique and Alvaro Arbeloa will provide cover for Iker Casillas. A Barcelona quartet of Xavi, Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Pedro should also make the cut with the final two places less solidified as both Roberto Soldado and Cesc Fabregas were absent from Spain’s most recent training session. Though del Bosque often sent Spain out without a true striker in the past, expect Fernando Torres to start up top. The Chelsea hitman has taken full advantage of his opportunities scoring five goals and adding an assist in just 120 minutes of play (granted most of this was against Tahiti

Brazil vs. Japan live 15.06.2013

                                      Match Informatio
                                   Team: Brazil vs Japan
                              Date: Saturday, 15th June, 2013
                                     Time: 19:00 GMT
                      Tournament: FIFA Confederations Cup
                                       

Brazil are set for a step up in class when they continue their tour of friendlies with a meeting with Japan in Wroclaw, Poland on Tuesday. The Selecao cruised to a 6-0 victory over Iraq last Friday in the latest match against significantly inferior opposition.

 n contrast, Alberto Zaccheroni’s Japan should provide a significant examination of how Brazil are shaping up under Mano Menezes with 20 months to go before they begin their World Cup campaign as hosts.
While Japan could only beat Iraq 1-0 in a World Cup qualifier back in September, they scored an impressive scalp with a 1-0 victory over a strong France side in Paris on Friday.


With many people back in Brazil still questioning whether Menezes is the man to lead the country on home soil, a positive result against a strong side, featuring the creative talents of Manchester United’s Shinji Kagawa, will be keenly desired.

While the opposition may have not provided much of a test, there were encouraging signs for Brazil last time out. Menezes blooded a new formation featuring Neymar and Hulk cutting in from either flank while the attacking midfield duo of Oscar and Kaka looked to provide support through the center.
Kaka looked good on his first appearance for Brazil since the 2010 World Cup and even marked the milestone with a goal. However, whether the Real Madrid man will play a significant role in 2014 remains to be seen. While the number of minutes he enjoys and the form he displays at club level will be integral to his future with Brazil, he will also have to show that he can still be a factor against top international competition. Tuesday, against Japan, would be a good place for the 30-year-old former world player of the year to continue to prove that he is not yet a spent force.

Menezes is certain to have to make at least one change to the lineup that faced off with Iraq, with left-back Marcelo suffering a fractured metatarsal in training on Sunday that will rule him out for three months.
With fellow-full-backs Dani Alves and Alex Sandro already out, it leaves Menezes with something of a selection dilemma. A change may also be needed in midfield, with Ramires struggling with illness.

Argentina v England live rugby 08.06.2013

                                Date: Saturday, June 8
            Venue: Estadio Padre Ernesto Martearena, Salta
                    Kickoff: 16:10 local (20:10 BST)
                   Referee: Chris Pollock (New Zealand)
      Assistant referees: Nigel Owens (Wales), Christie du Preez (South Africa)
                   TMO: Shaun Veldsman (South Africa)
                    Assessor: Carlos Molinari (Argentina
 
Having split their squad in preparation for their June Test matches and the upcoming Rugby Championship, Argentina are without several leading stars including Juan Martيn Fernلndez Lobbe, Juan Imhoff, Juan Martيn Hernلndez and Patricio Albacete.

In total, 21 of Argentina's leading players have been rested from facing England and Georgia. It is a testament to their growing depth that despite the number of absentees, the side put out in Salta is a very competitive one.

Centred around the experience of the illustrious Felipe Contepomi - who will retire from the game following this month's Tests - there are exciting young talents such Manuel Montero and Mلrtin Landajo.

The pack however is well-worn and full of experience. Pablo Henn and Maximiliano Bustos are problematic to contain, while Julio Farias Cabello was one of the stars of last year's Rugby Championship before joining London Welsh in the Aviva Premiership.

Add in the expertise of Gonzalo Tiesi, Benjamin Urdapilleta and Tomas Leonardi - Argentina have a strong core from which to work around and control the tempo of the match if England struggle to maintain possession.

Weakened? Certainly - but these Pumas have enough bite.

England have already received their fair share of physicality after being worryingly outmuscled in the opening and final quarters by the CONSUR XV in Montevideo.

Either side of those suspect patches came six tries, including a six-minute hat-trick for Wasps number eight Billy Vunipola, whilst Ben Foden carried on from his impressive showing in the Aviva Premiership Final as an inexperienced England side were put through their paces.

Two wins from two, the first coming against a shoddy Barbarians outfit, have handed young stars a chance to impress but the Test series is another matter.

It is for that reason that the likes of Joe Launchbury, Ben Morgan and David Wilson return upfront to take on the Argentinian pack.

That said, England are not without some intriguing picks. The return of Bath duo Rob Webber and Dave Attwood to Test rugby seemed unlikely in the Six Nations due to injuries and form, but both have fought their way back into contention.

David Strettle and Lee Dickson are two more who have been forced to bide their time for another chance.

Stuart Lancaster has not been afraid however to pick young talent. Christian Wade's Test debut is arguably overdue. Matt Kvesic is highly rated in many circles. Jonathan Joseph is still just 21. Joe Marler, with Alex Corbisiero now away with the Lions, can leave a mark.

It is an England side full of promising talent, but certainly not Test experience. Facing Argentina is not just about the opposition on the pitch but also the surroundings.

After all, if winning a Test series in Argentina was so simple, England would have done it before.

Ones to Watch:

For Argentina: After Agustin Pichot and Nicolas Vergallo, comes Mلrtin Landajo. The Pampas XV scrum-half is still only 24, but is full of potential and has 17 caps to his name. Partnering Urdapilleta at half-back and with Contepomi outside him, if the forwards can secure enough clean ball then Landajo will thrive.

For England: How can you not keep an eye on Christian Wade? The electric 21-year old from London Wasps has already collected plenty of awards this season, but a first England cap may prove to be his most treasured possession of the campaign. Remember the location and opposition when the question comes up in future years about where Wade's England career truly began.

Head-to-Head: A pair of big ball carriers. Tomas Leonardi is an ominous presence at 6ft 5' and nearly 17 stone, set to test the defence of Freddie Burns with his bursts from the back of the scrum. Ben Morgan is no shrinking violet either and after Vunipola's try-scoring exploits will have a point to prove.

Prediction: Tricky. Argentina have enough class, home advantage and an experienced pack. England possess searing pace in their backs but that will amount to nothing if they prove inferior in the set-piece. A narrow away win. England by 4.

Borussia Dortmund v Bayern Munich LIVE 25 MAY 2013 FINAL UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Borussia Dortmund v Bayern Munich
Football : Champions League Final
Venue: Wembley Stadium - London
Saturday 25th May – Kickoff time: 20:45 GMT+1

Borussia Dortmund



Thanks to a superb European campaign Borussia Dortmund is now just one step away from repeating their 1997 triumph in their only previous UCL final appearance.

Road to the final
Jurgen Klopp’s squad were drawn against some tough opponents in the group stages, but cruised through the group of death without losing a game which gave them a lot of confidence.

Things only got tougher in the quarter-finals for Borussia where they miraculously eliminated Malaga thanks to two added time goals before knocking out Real Madrid in the semis after a superb first leg performance from Lewandowski.

Season stats
Borussia Dortmund were no match to Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga where the Bavarians built up a 25 points gap to reclaim the title from Borussia.

Despite the big difference, Klopp’s men managed to avoid defeat in the domestic double against champions Bayern, but succumbed to a 1-0 defeat in the German Cup (DFB Pokal).

As I mentioned before, they’ve done great in the UEFA Champions League, Borussia have only lost one of their 12 games played in the competition so far, the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu against Real Madrid.

Team news
The most important absence will be Mario Gotze’s who has been ruled out with a thigh injury, but I’d say it’s for the best since he already signed with Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich



Bayern Munich will be seeking to make up for last year’s disappointment when they’ve played the UCL final in front of their own crowd, but Chelsea ended up ruining their night.

Road to the final
Bayern Munich had an easier route to the knockout stages topping a group consisting of Valencia, Bate Borisov and Lille.

Their only scare during this European campaign came in the round of 16 when Arsenal managed to overcome a two goal deficit, but the Germans ended up qualifying through away goals.

After that tie Bayern Munich changed gears and managed to trash European giants Juventus (QF) and Barcelona (SF) scoring 11 goals in the process and conceding none.

Season stats
There’s a lot to say about Bayern Munich’s superb season which could end with the Bavarians winning all competitions they were involved in. They could be the seventh team to win the treble and the first German side to do it.

Jupp Heynckes' men broke a whole bunch of record in Bundesliga like the earliest and fastest title triumph, most total points (91), most wins in a season (29), most clean sheets (21), longest winning streak (14) or biggest lead over the team in second (25).

They have also qualified to the German Cup final where they’ll meet VFB Stuttgart one first of June after previously knocking out Borussia Dortmund in the quarter finals.

Team news
Bayern Munich will be without Toni Kroos and Holger Badstuber - the former ruled out for the rest of the season, the latter announced to be out of action for the next ten months – but both have been out for some time, so Heynckes will probably field the eleven that hammered Barcelona in the semis.

The Betting Verdict


As I mentioned before both sides had some short moments of weakness during this campaign (Borussia vs Real Madrid in the second leg and Bayern vs Arsenal also in the second leg), but overall I think everyone agrees that the best two teams of the competition reached the final.

The two Bundesliga giants have outrun, outplayed and ultimately outclassed all the opponents they’ve met on the road to the final, so it’s no surprise that we have an all German final at the Wembley stadium on Saturday night.

I’d say that Bayern Munich holds the upper hand before this clash, it’s difficult to find a weakness in their squad after witnessing the power statements from the previous rounds when they’ve hammered Juventus and Barcelona.

The Bavarians also hold the psychological advantage of having won the Bundesliga with such a difference and signing one of Borussia’s key players, Mario Gotze.

I never thought we’ll see a better team than Barcelona at their best, but this Bayern Munich squad seems like Barcelona with a facelift, almost the same technical ability, but much stronger physically.

The odds are quite short considering the fact that this is a Champions League final, but I really can’t see past a Bayern Munich success, so I’ll back Bayern to win in 90 minutes.

Barcelona vs Real Valladolid live 19 may 2013 la liga

Barcelona vs Real Valladolid
Football : Spanish La Liga
Venue: Nou Camp, Barcelona
Sunday 19th May 2013 – Kickoff time 21:00


    Match Preview :


Champions Barcelona welcome Real Valladolid to Camp Nou on Sunday evening, looking for a victory in front of their home fans. Barcelona won the title after beating Atletico Madrid 2-1 last week and now it is time to play their home match before the celebrations begins after the match.

By beating Atletico Madrid, the Catalan side recorded their 8th win from ten games and they will not want to take their foot off the pedal with the visit of Real Valladolid who have nothing to play for after they secured top flight football for next season with their 1-0 victory over Deportivo La Coruna last week. They are neither involved in the battle for European places nor are in danger of relegation anymore. Despite beating Deportibo 1-0 last weekend, they only managed one win in their last nine  matches before that.

Barcelona knows that if they can win against Valladolid they will be on course to finish the season with 100 points, which is a record never achieved before in La Liga.

For the record, Real Valladolid have not won at Camp Nou since a 2-1 success in November 1997. When the two sides met at the Estadio

Municipal Jose Zorrilla in December, Barcelona ran out 3-1 winners.
And even though Barcelona could unleash their youngster and fringe players, they will want to prove they have what it takes so get on Barcelona and give the 1 3/4 ball here.
                        

Barcelona Team News :

Lionel Messi, will miss this game a fter suffering a recurrence of the hamstring injury that has troubled him in recent weeks. Barca’s centre-back pairing of captain Carles Puyol and Javier Mascherano are both injured.

                                                                    
 Valladolid Team News :
Valladolid coach Miroslav Dukic has no new injury worries ahead of this clash. Their only missing player is Antonio Rukavina who is suspended. Meanwhile, Javi Guerra, who scored the winning goal against Deportivo, is likely to retain his place in the starting lineup.

Possible lineups


Barcelona: Pinto; Dani Alves, Correia, Pique, Jordi Alba; Busquets, Iniesta, Xavi; Tello, Sanchez, Villa

Real Valladolid: Hernandez; Rukavina, Rueda, Valiente, Balenziaga; Rubio, Perez, Ebert, Oscar, Larsson, Guerra

Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat LIVE 15 may 2013 nba basketball

Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat
United States: NBA Basketball Play Offs
Wednesday 15 May 2013 - Tip Off 7pm
Midnight (British Time)

 

After all the exertions put in by the Chicago Bulls in Game 3, it wasn't a massive surprise to see them fail to reach the same intensity in Game 4 as they were comfortably blown out by the Miami Heat. When you rely on so many players that are usually the back ups, it wasn't that surprising that those role players failed to get anything going as the Bulls had their worst shooting percentage and lowest Play Off totals in their storied franchise history.

Nate Robinson has been brilliant in the Play Offs for the Bulls, but it was his struggles that highlighted Chicago's struggles as he went 0/12 from the field. Relying on a short rotation has hurt the Bulls and they looked tired at times as Miami stepped up their defense in Game 4.

One thing you have to say about this Chicago team is that they have taken their fair share of blow out losses throughout the season, but shown the character to bounce back. Even at the end of Game 4, there weren't too many downhearted players in their locker room and they remain confident in themselves and one another.

However, turning around this series would probably be one of the biggest upsets in the Play Offs in NBA history, especially from a 1-3 deficit. To win three times in Miami, which Chicago would have to do to win this series now, is a big ask without the likes of Derrick Rose, Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich.

Chicago also know that Miami are not exactly firing on all cylinders themselves so the Bulls do believe in themselves. Dwyane Wade is struggling with a knee injury that has limited his effectiveness, while LeBron James is shooting far poorer than he did in the regular season.

The Heat are also trying to get their three point shooters going in this series, as that is going to be important to them as they try and defend their NBA title.

Miami are also aware of the fight that Chicago have shown throughout the season so they are looking to close the show on Wednesday night. The team are still very focused on the task at hand and I think it would be a big surprise if the series heads back to Chicago later this week.


                                      Head to Head


Miami have improved to 5-3 against the Chicago Bulls this season.

However, the Heat are only 2-2 in their 4 home games against them.


                                         Prediction


Chicago looked incredibly tired in Game 4 as the Miami Heat defense caused some issues, but the open shots being missed says it was more to with fatigue than anything else that the Bulls had a hard time.

While the last game was incredibly low-scoring, I think the layers have made the 181 total points a little too low in this one, especially if the open shots are made.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Oklahoma City Thunder live 15 may 2013 nba basketball

                Memphis Grizzlies vsOklahoma City Thunder                                
                     United States:    NBA Basketball Play Offs
                        Wednesday 15 May 2013 - Tip Off 9:30pm
                                       2:30am (British Time)                                

The FedExForum must have had a sense of deja vu as Game 4 of their Western Conference Semi Final against the Oklahoma City Thunder went into overtime. Two years ago, at the exact same stage of the Play Offs, the Thunder beat the Grizzlies in triple overtime to level the series at 2-2, a series  they went on to win 4-3.

Russell Westbrook was the star of the show two years ago, but his absence continues to cast a shadow over this series. Without him, the Thunder couldn't hold off Memphis this time and they are now in a tough spot as they trail 3-1 in the series after their third consecutive loss.

Kevin Durant has been taking over the scoring, but he has struggled in the fourth quarter and overtime in the last two games, going just 3/17 from the field. He even missed three free throws at crucial times in those games and now has to improve his 1-3 record in elimination games, while the critics formerly on LeBron James' case have moved to him.

Unfortunately for Oklahoma City, they have struggled for someone else to take over the scoring down the stretch, an area where Westbrook really paid off in the past. Serge Ibaka found his shot in Game 4, but the likes of Derek Fisher and Kevin Martin struggled and the Thunder were shut down.

Oklahoma City had a 17 point lead in Game 4, but Memphis kept up the pressure and now are in a commanding position. However, the franchise is in uncharted territory as they have never played in the Western Conference Finals so there is no doubt they will have some pressure on their shoulders.

Lionel Hollins has also made his team aware that Oklahoma City are not to be under-estimated as they will be desperate in front of their own fans. The fact that all four games have been decided in the final two minutes suggests there is every chance the Thunder can find themselves back in this series and definitely force the issue to take the series back to Memphis.

Both teams are comfortable with the way the games have gone so far, so little adjustments are expected in Game 5 as both know what the other is capable of doing now.


                                        Head to Head


Memphis lead the season series 5-2 thanks to their win in Game 4.

The four games at the Chesapeake Arena have been split 2-2.


                                        Prediction


I am expecting another close game in the series and I think both teams are capable of making this a high-scoring encounter.

With Serge Ibaka finding his shot and both getting inside the paint to the foul line, the game could be extended, while they have been so closely matched that another overtime game isn't out of the question.

                                       Benfica Lisbon vs FC Chelsea
  UEFA Europa League Final
Match date: 15 May 2013 - Kick Off Time: 18:45 GMT
Venue: Amsterdam ArenA, Netherlands 
 Referee:‬ B. Kuipers‎ 
 
 

Match Preview :


Just a year after winning the Champions League, Chelsea will now aim to lift the Europa League when they clash with Portuguese outfit Benfica tonight.

Chelsea reached the final after winning 2-1 in Switzerland against Basel before securing a 3-1 victory at home in their semi-final tie. But for Benfica, they had to come back against Turkish side Fenerbahce after losing the first leg 1-0 in Turkey before securing a 3-1 win on their own soil to book their spot in the final of the competition.

Benfica comes into this match with a defeat to Porto in their domestic comeptition. However, it has still been an impressive season for them as they have lost just five times in all competition. Benfica also managed 23 out of 29 wins in the Portuguese Superliga.

Chelsea meanwhile looks set to secure third place in the Premiership and a place in the Champions League next season. However, before Rafa Benitez leaves the club, with Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho odds-on to replace Rafael Benitez at the end of the campaign, he will want to add to his cv the Europa League with Chelsea.

The two sides last met in the Champions League quarter-finals last season, with Chelsea winning 1-0 in Portugal before claiming a 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge to book a last-four spot against Barcelona, in which they went on to win the title against Bayern Munich.


Form:


Benfica - L W W D L
Chelsea - W W W D W

Team News :


Benfica Team News :
Benfica have no fresh injuries ahead of this match. However, Oscar Cardozo is expected to return to the side after a late appearance from the bench. Meanwhile, Andre Almeida is expected to shake off an injury but if he fails to recover, then Roderick will be on standby to start.
Nemanja Matic, should also start in the middle of midfield against his former club. And Nicolas Gaitan will join Eduardo Salvio and Lima in attack.

Chelsea Team News :
Chelsea could miss the services of Captain John Terry, who limped out of their 2-1 win over Aston Villa last weekend. But with Gary Cahill and former Benfica defender David Luiz forming a pair at the heart of the defence, the former England defender was not expected to start anyway if he had been fit.

Meanwhile, Victor Moses is also pushing for a start in this match. Howwever, the former Wigan Athletic winger is expected to be named on the bench with Brazilian Oscar coming into the side to form a three-pronged attack with Juan Mata and Eden Hazard
 

Possible lineups


Benfica: Artur; Pereira, Luisao, Garay, Almeida; Matic, Perez; Gaitan, Lima, Salvio; Cardozo

Juventus vs Cagliari live 11 may 2013 - Italian Serie A

                        Juventus vs Cagliari - Italian Serie A
                               Match date: 11 May 2013
                             Kick Off Time: 16:00 GMT
                           Venue: Juventus Stadium - Tori  
                                   Referee:‬ G. Calvarese‎ 
                                                  
 
While Cagliari goes into this match safe in mid-table, Juventus are keen to better their club points record.

Juventus won their ninth match in a row when they beat Atalanta in midweek. Alessandro Matri scored the only goal that followed with their Scudetto celebrations after that. But now, Antonio Conte’s side are on track to beat the club’s highest season points tally which stands at 91 managed during the 2005-2006 campaign.

If Juventus can get six points from their last two matches means they can finish a point better then the 91 points achieved.

Meanwhile in midweek Cagliari lost at home to Parma. With 11 minutes left on the clock they conceded a goal courtesy of Aleandro Rosi to go down 1-0. And since their Serie A is already secured, they are now winless in their last four matches. As it is now, Cagliari are 11th and have assured a mid-table finish.

When they clashed at Turin, Juventus have won 18 times, Cagliari winning two times, but last season it finished in a draw and they also drew a total of 12 times.

                    Espanyol vs Real Madrid - Spanish Primera Division
                  Match date: 11 May 2013 - Kick Off Time: 20:00 GMT

It seems increasingly likely that the Jose Mourinho era at Real Madrid will be coming to an end at the conclusion of this season and I am sure he will want to go out with a couple more wins under his belt. The whole reason that Mourinho was brought to the Spanish capital was to return to the Champions League to the trophy cabinet and it seems like the best he will be able to offer at the end of this season is the Copa Del Rey.

The La Liga title has been long gone for Real Madrid after a really poor start to the season and then they suffered the disappointment of falling a little short in the Champions League when losing to Borussia Dortmund in the Semi Final earlier this month.

It hasn't seemed to have affected Real Madrid in their domestic League where they have a 9-3-5 record away from home, but importantly have won 5 of their last 7 on their travels including 4 of their last 5. The win at Atletico Madrid in their last away game all but secured Real Madrid their place as second in the Spanish La Liga table.

Any time that a Real Madrid side travels to Barcelona, there will be a lot of interest, although visiting the second club in that city is not the same as playing at the Nou Camp. Espanyol have been inconsistent at home all season and they are just 6-6-5 here while they have actually conceded more goals than they have scored.

Espanyol have actually failed to win any of their last 4 home games, although they had been unbeaten in 9 in a row before losing 0-1 to Granada in their latest home game.

A bigger worry is the struggles they have had whenever Real Madrid have visited in recent seasons. These sides drew 2-2 in Madrid earlier this season, but Espanyol have lost 4 in a row at home against Real Madrid and they have failed to score in any of those losses.

    Chelsea vs Basel live 2 may 2013 uefa europa league

                                                   
    Chelsea vs Basel
    UEFA Europa League: semi-final, 2nd leg
    Match date: 2 May 2013
    Kick Off Time: 20:05 GMT
    Venue: Stamford Bridge, England
    Referee:‬ J. Eriksson‎
     
    Chelsea have one foot in for a second consecutive European cup final ahead of their Europa League semifinal second leg against FC Basel on May 2. Their 2-1 victory in Switzerland has given them the aggregate and away-goal advantage. Basel will need to score two without reply to advance, a task made all the more difficult as the Blues have not failed to score at home since a 1-0 defeat to QPR on January 9.
    Attendance at Stamford Bridge has been poor for the Europa League ties, with 33,000 fans turning up for the quarterfinal against Rubin Kazan. The supporters are suffering a huge comedown from the high of 2012, but while they are disinterested in Europe's second-tier competition, the players are desperate to salvage some silverware from this season.
    Ashley Cole is suspended for the home side, having picked up a yellow card in Switzerland so Ryan Bertrand will be recalled to the starting 11. Frank Lampard is just one goal behind the current club record of 202, and with Ramires having left their last match against Swansea City injured, the veteran midfielder could reach his milestone in this match.
    With one eye on the Premier League fixture against Manchester United on Sunday, Rafael Benitez is likely to start with this lineup in a 4-2-3-1.

    Benfica vs Fenerbahce live 2 may 2013 uefa europa league

                                                            
    Benfica vs Fenerbahce
    UEFA Europa League: semi-final, 2nd leg
    Match date: 2 May 2013
    Kick Off Time: 20:05 GMT
    Stadium: Estadio da Luz, Lisbon
    Referee: Stephane Lannoy (France)
     
     
    Benfica coach Jorge Jesus is confident his side can progress to the Europa League final when they face Fenerbahce on Thursday night.
    The Portuguese league leaders trail 1-0 from the first leg in Turkey thanks to Egemen Korkmaz's goal and are fortunate not to be further behind after being dominated for large parts of the match at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.
    The hosts hit the woodwork three times, including once from the penalty spot, as they looked to put the tie to bed, but Jesus' men held on to a one-goal deficit and the coach is confident that they can make it to the final in Amsterdam.
    "It is a result that is dangerous but also gives confidence that we can turn it around," he told a press conference.
    "We have some experience of these matches in the Europa League and the Champions League so we are calm.
    "We will not change anything that we have done throughout this Europa League campaign. We trust and hope that the fans will also help us."
    The Turkish side have a formidable record away from home in this season's competition and have yet to taste defeat, while they claimed an impressive win in Marseille in the group stages.
    They also held Lazio to a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Olimpico in the second leg of their quarter-final, but Barcelona are the only visitors to have claimed a win at the Estadio da Luz this season and Jesus believes that could be key.
    The Benfiquistas were in league action on Monday night against Maritimo and are facing a hectic end to the season with three league matches and a Portuguese Cup final to come as they try to complete a remarkable treble.
    But striker Oscar Cardozo, who has scored 54 goals in 77 matches for the Eagles, does not believe that fatigue will be factor.
    "We're fine," he added. "We have had many games but we feel good for tomorrow and I think we will all be 100%."
    While Jesus may have a fully fit squad to choose on Thursday night, the coach will be without Dutch midfielder Ola John who received a yellow card in the first leg and is suspended.
    The visitors will be without midfielder Mehmet Topal and striker Pierre Webo, who are both suspended, while ex-Chelsea

    barcelona vs bayern munich live 1 may 2013 semi final uefa champions league

                                                         
     
     
    It has never been done in Champions League history, but when Barcelona welcome Bayern Munich to Camp Nou on Wednesday night they will have to overcome a 4-0 deficit to stay in the competition.
    Competing in their sixth successive semifinal, the Catalans were taken apart in Germany by a Bayern side who showed them no mercy.
    Goals from Thomas Muller (2), Mario Gomez and Arjen Robben sparked a week of talk debating whether this will be remembered as the time Barca passed the torch of dominance to the recently crowned Bundesliga champions.
    On Monday morning, Catalan newspapers Sport and Mundo Deportivo led with headlines which focused on "The Comeback."
    It all has a similar feel to the build up for the second leg against AC Milan in the last 16, except this time they're 4-0 down and it's Bayern—not the Italians—who are rolling into town.
     
    Predicted Teams
    Barcelona: Victor Valdes; Dani Alves, Gerard Pique, Marc Bartra, Adriano; Sergio Busquets, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta; Pedro Rodriguez, David Villa, Lionel Messi.
    Bayern Munich: Manuel Neuer; Phillip Lahm, Dante, Jerome Boateng, David Alaba; Bastian Schweinsteiger, Luiz Gustavo; Arjen Robben, Thomas Muller, Franck Ribery; Mario Mandzukic

    Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund live 30.04.2013 UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI FINAL

                                                         Match Detail:
                                Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund live soccer
                                                 Date: 1st May 2013 00:45
                                             Live UEFA Champions League
    Real Madrid winger Angel di Maria believes Saturday's triumph over Atletico can serve as a springboard in their Champions League semi-final.
    Madrid were humbled 4-1 by Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their semi-final tie, with prolific marksman Robert Lewandowski scoring all four goals in a memorable performance.

    Jose Mourinho's side returned to winning ways at the weekend, edging city rivals Atletico 2-1 in their battle for second position in La Liga.

    And di Maria, who netted the match-winning goal, believes the derby win can be the catalyst for redemption against Dortmund at the Bernabeu on Tuesday.

    "Winning this match is extra motivation and will help us to be at our best on Tuesday," the 25-year-old told reporters. "We do not take that match as lost."

    The nine-time Champions League winners' home form in the competition is cause for optimism, with just two defeats from their last 19 games at the Bernabeu.

    Real's home record domestically is even better, having not lost a game in 26 fixtures, a run spanning back to December 2011, when they lost to arch-rivals Barcelona.

    Despite the positivity making its way out of the Madrid camp, their recent form against Dortmund is concerning.

    In the pair's three meetings this season, Juergen Klopp's men have won two and drawn one.

    Real were totally outplayed in all three games, including the 2-2 draw at the Bernabeu in November, with an 89th-minute goal from Mesut Oezil salvaging a point in the group-stage clash.

    Meanwhile, Dortmund made 10 changes to the team that defeat Real but they still managed to beat Fortuna Duesseldorf 2-1 on Saturday.

    Lewandowski, Jakub Blaszczykowski and Marco Reus were given limited minutes at the weekend, leaving the Bundesliga outfit in prime condition to book their ticket to Wembley in May.
