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 »

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 »

The MLL draft (Major Lacrosse League) for 2008 sprung a minor surprise in its first round pick on Wednesday with University of Albany’s Jordan Levine chosen by the New Jersey Pride. While Levine was a shining light in the UAlbany squad with 13 goals and 20 assists as the team went to the conference tournament championship game, few would have expected bigger and more popular names to show up in the early rounds of the MLL draft.

Levine’s coach Scott Marr was perhaps the few who did not bat an eyelid with his player’s selection for the MLL draft first round after mentoring him to a stellar season in 2008.
