The popular Chinese national team can join Australia in the next round of the Asian World Cup qualifiers in this China vs Qatar live match if they can beat their guests in front of their fans which would move them clear of the Gulf team and very close to the next competition in South Africa. The Chinese have worked hard to be in this position after a fiasco in the last World Cup qualifiers when they failed to make it through and were roundly criticised for a lack of effort and professionalism as well as horrible dip in standards despite having players playing in Europe. This time there are not that many of them in demand in Europe anymore, and most of the players are confined to the national league, but they have pulled up their socks and ready to hit the World Cup trail in this live commentary World Cup 2010 qualifying match between China and Qatar.

If Chinese best known import Dong Fangzhou of Manchester United actually plays in this game, then he would provide a cutting edge for his team. It is not known yet if he actually is first choice for the manager in many people’s minds, but with his pedigree and experience, there is definitely a need for Dong to play more frequently for his country. He can provide the much needed goals that the Chinese team seem to lack and the only missing piece now in the puzzle is a creative midfielder who can break opposing teams down. Unfortunately, that appears to be nowhere near being found. Read the rest of this entry »

Many fans cannot wait for this game Brazil vs Venezuela live in this friendly match as the fantastic Brazilian national team is coming to town and waiting to put on a football fiesta for their fans all over the world. For neutral fans, all they want to see are the Brazilian players making dribbles, shots, body feints and pretty moves that normally can only take place in soccer dreams and not in live friendlies like this that is telecast on TV and broadcast commentary on radio. They do not care much for the result because nobody expects Brazil to lose at all, especially not against teams like Venezuela. If they do lose in this live commentary friendly match soccer match between Brazil and Venezuela, unless it was a competitive match, nobody would actually mind.

The most important thing for the Brazilian team in this live online streaming TV friendly between Brazil and Venezuela would actually be to entertain their fans with crazy goals and displays of individual skills that only their players know. There might be Cristiano Ronaldo dominating Europe as the best player in the world, but Brazilian players are so many and with that kind of skill that they are just begging to be discovered and given the right professional guidance would easily outshine Ronaldo. But we know that Brazilian soccer is also mired in debt and little money so for that to happen is unlikely. If a little known player gets his chance in this live streaming TV and radio friendly match between Brazil and Venezuela who knows perhaps he might be seen by a European scout in the stadium and we might get our next Pele or Zico.

They quickly demolished Singapore in their own ground and this time with this live commentary World Cup 2010 qualifying game between Uzbekistan and Singapore in the home team’s own ground, the result should be a foregone conclusion even before it has started. Singapore fans will also not be expecting anything more than another defeat but will be hoping their team can pick themselves up from a tough defeat. They fought hard and played well in bits and pieces but overall were easily outclassed by a well oiled Uzbekistan machine.

Singapore coach Avramovic might decide to put out a defensive team in this live online radio and TV telecast Asian World Cup qualifying match between Uzbekistan and Singapore to avoid another terrible defeat and seven goal hiding. But he should also believe in his players and if they can be more compact yet produce the same attacking style they showed on Monday, who knows, perhaps they would be able to pull off an amazing upset of the leading team.

Now this is some crazy news coming out of Denver City as a man named Jeff Peckman, in his attempts to get voters to help set up a commission that will welcome space visitors to Earth, has pledged to show a video recording on Friday that will show proof that we humans are not alone in the Universe and that there is indeed life in outer space. On Thursday with city officials to review his ballot proposal, Jeff Peckman insists that he has authentic footage of aliens that visited the White House and even looked through the windows surveying the rooms.

While describing four foot tall aliens with grey skin, Jeff Peckman believes deeply that the Government has long since hidden the fact about alien lifeforms from the public and he wants to make a difference. While he need 4,000 signatures to effect the ballot, Jeff Peckman nevertheless said that there is growing momentum from the public all over the world to recognize this true phenomenon. In radio and telephone programs he has done in various countries, Peckman has received strong support from call in listeners who claimed to have personally encountered aliens.

Today is the anniversary of the first successful Mount Everest ascent attempted by man, and it was a New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay who achieved the amazing feat that a few others have been able to follow since then. If not for the two, perhaps it might have been some more time before anyone could believe in themselves to scale the summit of what is considered the highest mountain known to mankind.

It would also be a little known fact with the current generation that today is actually the anniversary of the first Mount Everest ascent. It was 55 years ago when this was achieved, and with Google putting special logo on its home page to commemorate the event, hopefully it will bring more awareness to the younger generation who are more likely to be unmoved by the significance of something such as climbing a mountain. It is a feat of strength both physically and mentally, and one which anyone who has done it should be proud of and deserve to be celebrated for. Read the rest of this entry »

Hours ago, Comcast customers and users discovered that Comcast was hacked. Both the main website and several email accounts were affected. There is a sentiment amongst many in the cyberspace community that with this hacking, Comcast probably got what it asked for. It has been the target of much criticism and abuse since it supposedly started spying on its clientèle and also with its throttling policies. While some of these were done to protect itself, there was enough misinformation disseminated by the giant ISP when questioned about their activities, thereby angering many customers. Many of those who found their actions deplorable would probably have broken a smile when they hear that Comcast has been hacked.

The attack has so far been attributed to a group KRYOGENIKS EBK and DEFIANT, forgive me if I got that wrong for I am not sure what their full group name is. News of Comcast getting hacked started when customers went to their website and saw a message that said “KRYOGENIKS EBK and DEFIANT RoXed COMCAST” on the home page and nothing else. Right now, the declaration has been taken off and has been replaced with a parked page under Network Solutions, presumably with Comcast staff busy trying to repair the damage after being hacked.

It has been confirmed that the Kim Jong Il assassination reports are false and that the North Korean leader is still alive and well, according to a Unification Ministry spokesman. The initial rumour shook the Asian world and stock markets across Asia suffered some negative reactions when the rumour was first reported on an online South Korean new site that might now suffer some penalties as a result. However, with the moves by the South Korean government to deny that Kim Jong Il assassination attempts were not true and the leader was actually still enjoying his reign in North Korean, it should help settle some nerves which had caused a slight ripple in the Asian financial markets.

Just imagine if it was indeed true that a Kim Jong Il assassination had taken place. The North Korean leader (sometimes spelled as Kim Jung Il as proper Korean romanisation) has presided with an iron fist over the communist country, with his father before him also in the same position. If you were to visit the country, you would have to bow to huge statues of both Kim Jong Il and his father as a mark of respect. There have even been songs created to portray Kim Jong Il as legends and his father as a heavenly bird that descended to save the country. If Kim Jong Il had indeed been assassinated, it would have been picked up by more than just one unknown South Korean online new site. More global media giants would have jumped on it fast and the news would spread like wildfire. Read the rest of this entry »

Branded as both a “mad scientist” and “wizard” mashed into one brilliant culinary master, Top Chef enjoyed Rick Tramonto’s appearance and stint as one of the judges tonight as he opened up his restaurant to the remaining participants on the show. Tramonto’s restaurant happened to be packed to the brim for the night and it really got on the competitors’ nerves as they were supposed to come up with each of their own special menus. At the end of the episode, Spike and Lisa made the bottom two and after offending and getting on Tramonto’s nerves during judging, Spike was eliminated from Top Chef.

There was not much coming from the guest judge as the owner of the famous Tramonto’s Steak and Seafood restaurant kept most of the comments to himself. When he offered some clearly logical criticism on the participants’ efforts, in the end he got some quite insulting advice from Spike. The latter had trouble coming up with a good dish after choosing unwanted scallop the other competitors left aside. When told by Tramonto that he should have left the scallops aside, Spike shocked everyone by rebutting that with his background and experience, Rick Tramonto should not even have had the scallops in the freezer. Wow! Read the rest of this entry »
