Will Spain win Euro 2012?

0

There are only a few months until the start of the  European Championship. The tournament will be hosted by Poland and Ukraine.

As it was expected Spain are the major favorites to win the Championship according to Euro 2012 betting. Spain are playing the best football and the results prove this. Barcelona are the best club in the World and Spain are the best national in the World at the moment. They are playing a possession game, a nice to watch game. As may coaches declared they are a team hard to beat but easy to prepare because everybody knows what to expect from them.

The only manager who won a trophy, when played against Barcelona or Spain, is Jose Mourinho who won the Champions League with Inter in 2010 and the Spain Cup with Real Madrid.

There are also some bad news if we can call them this way. David Villa, the top goalscorer from qualifications is injured with a fractured tibia and his presence at the final tournament is in doubt. Even if he will made the squad for the final tournament he may not be in the best shape and this could cost Spain. Fernando Torres is going trough a bad period as well.

But Spain are a team with a lot of world-class players and I’m sure they will cope with all the problems. What’s also nice to see is that Spain are mixing experienced players with young talents. There are a lot of players coming from behind and this is a must for continuity.

The European champions were assigned to group C along with Italy, Republic of Ireland and Croatia. Probably the first game against Italy will establish the winner of the group.

Spain played against Italy also at Euro 2008 in the quarter-finals. The game ended 0-0 and after penalties Spain were the team who advanced to the semi-finals.  The whole Euro 2012 program is already available.

Germany and Netherlands are among the favorites as well. Both teams are in Group B along with Portugal and Denmark.

Orbea Bikes for Triathlon Athletes

0

Orbea Bikes is a Spanish company that has made a name for itself by producing dependable equipment. The company began by making something very different in the 1930s. Staff manufactured guns and rifles back then. With 90 years of experience and market presence under their belt, it was time to change direction. It took a few years, but Orbea now produces some of the top bicycles in the world. They are popular in road races, mountain biking and trekking. Where they make their greatest impact, however, is among triathlon competitors.

Orbea sponsors individuals and teams taking part in international competitions. Their sponsorship activities enable athletes to excel and to win. With the success of these athletes comes an automatic advertising opportunity for the company. When a cyclist stands on the podium wearing the company name on his jersey, the result is instant recognition among global audiences who want to be as fast on two wheels as the professional riders. If world renowned athletes are riding them, they must be sturdy and reliable.

There are two types of triathlon bicycles sold by Orbea, the Ordu and the Orca. The Ordu is one of the best of its kind and comes with every advantage an athlete needs in one of these competitions. Ordu has been used by Craig Alexander who won U.S. championships two years running. This bike is smooth on mountain trails and at high speed. Now, the Ordu has its own subtypes made especially for mountain bikers that are akin to Colnago Bikes.

If you want a triathlon pedal bike, take note of a few essential points. Your bike should be comfortable and maneuverable on the many kinds of terrain one experiences during a grueling race. A light frame is ideal for pushing hard. Although Orbea Bike models are light and speedy, they are also sturdy. Riders find them comfortable as well.

Drogba is the best goalscorer of the century

Didier Drogba was named the best goalscorer of the century by IFFHS. The Ivorian striker has 92 goals in all International competitions, 4 and 5 goals  more than Klose and Nistelrooy respectively.

The top 10 is completed by Henry, Eto’o, Villa, Raul, Flavio da Silva, Berbatov and Shevschenko.

Drogba has all the chances to remain on top because, like him, the competitors have only a few years of playing time remain.

Also the best goalscorers in domestic championships are not necessarily doing the same for the national team. The best examples are with Messi and Ronaldo who are scoring a lot of goals for their clubs but when they play for the national squad the things are changing a lot.

Chelsea announced that they sacked, the Portuguese coach, Andre Villas-Boas. Villas-Boas came at Chelsea after winning the treble with Porto and was already compared to Mourinho.

The new Mourinho followed the same path as Mourinho did a few years ago and many fans tough he was the right men to deliver Chelsea to success.

The 34 years old manager started well at Chelsea but after after some time the things started to go bad. Chelsea have only 3 league wins in the last 12 games. The last defeat 1-0 at West Bromwich Albion mean the end of Villas-Boas at Chelsea. His place was took by his assistant, Di Matteo who will be in charge until the end of the season.

Chelsea are in danger of losing the fourth place in Premier League, the last one that assures Champions League play-offs. Also they are in danger of leaving the Champions league from the second phase if they will not defeat Napoli with at least 2 goals advantage.
