Arsenal’s Lucky Charm – Cesc Fabregas

Arsenal’s Lucky Charm - Cesc Fabregas

In a soccer scoreboards feature, I have looked at Cesc Fabrega’s huge influence on Arsenal. The team is starving for trophies, but with this man at the helm the time is surely coming when the fans will have to suffer no more!

Arsenal is an English club nicknamed as The Gunners. It has a team with a great history, that is dearly loved and supported by its fans. Arsenal does not have scores of expensive stars such as Chelsea or Manchester City, but it has had some of the most admired players in the world on its books over the years, such as Ian Wright, Thierry Henry and Patrick Vierira.

The Top 3 Goals Ever Scored In a World Cup

The Top 3 Goals Ever Scored In A World Cup

Ever wondered why soccer is such an exciting and popular global sport? It’s almost like football; only without the padding and that it’s played with the feet instead of the hands. Other than that, they are almost the same; the physical contacts (Zidane’s head bud!) and going behind enemy lines to score! However, as football is more about brute force, soccer is more about skill and touch. Scoring a goal is very difficult, but when it happens it is one of the best moments in any sport. Here is a soccer scoreboards list of the top 3 goals ever to be scored in the World Cup and the players who scored them.

In a football scoreboards feature, I have collated the biggest 3 flops of last year. It turns out that they are some of the biggest names in the game too…

Football is like a religion for America and their teams are like Gods to many fans. So, needless to say the fans put their teams on pedestals that are so high, they usually get dizzy and fall at one time or the other! With the money players are recieving nowadays, the fans expect great things from their teams and from particular players.

4 of the Overrated NBA Players Through the Ages

4 Of The Overrated Nba Players Through The Ages

In a basketball scoreboards feature, I have looked back at some of the most famous, yet most overrated players to have plyed their trade in the NBA.

Being overrated does not necassarily mean that the player does not play well. It simply means that the player is given more credit than he actually deserves and is given too much media attention. There is a lot of hype (and money!) surrounding a lot of players, and some of them quite simply do not give back what they get. Here is a list of NBA’s most overrated players who have played in the past.

The Top 2 Free Agents in the NBA up for Grabs in 2011

The Top 2 Free Agents In The Nba Up For Grabs In 2011

In a baskeball scoreboards feature, I have taken a look at Carmelo Anthony and Yao Ming, 2 free agents that are of interest in 2011.

In 2010, we saw several key players being freed into the wild again i.e. the caps on their contracts ran out and they were free to either keep playing for their current team or find new ones with better contracts. However, the top tier players i.e. LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade showed that it is not always about the money. These players left money on the table only to be able to play on the same team: Miami Heat (OK, I’m joking about LeBron!). Needless to say, the Heats will heat the courts with the trio in their wings. Now, the problem is there aren’t many of those big name players left, so the light falls on the next top free agents that will be up for grabs in 2011. Here are the top 2 basketball scoreboards free agents currently roaming the markets.

Barcelona and the Players that are Bringing it Glory

Barcelona And The Players That Are Bringing It Glory

Nothing has gone wrong for Barcelona this season. So far they have got everything right – from the number of victories to the amazing performances to the success of the newly signed players. The soccer scoreboards showed that David Villa signed with Barcelona in May 2010 for a fee of €40 million. The team was further strengthened by signing probably the best striker in the world, and this is on top of the fact that it already has players on its books such as Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, Xavi etc! Barcelona had the most successful season ever in 2008-2009. It was in fact the most successful in any club’s history and nobody could have at that time said that the same team could possibly perform better than they did in the 2008-2009 season. This season, however is just as special.

How to Develop Better Goalkeeping Skills

How To Develop Better Goalkeeping Skills

In a soccer scoreboards feature, I have looked briefly at the key skills of the all important goalkeeping position.

The goalkeeper is a key player who holds a very important position in the team. Unfortunately coaches do not always pay much attention to enhancng goal keeping skills, and this is because the coaches often lack goalkeeping experience themselves, so they are of-course unable to train their goalkeepers in the same way that they train their outfield players. Here are some soccer scoreboards tips for budding goalkeepers:

Top 3 best baseball stadiums in America

Top 3 Best Baseball Stadiums In America

In a baseball scoreboards feature, I have chosen what I consider to be the very best 3 ballparks in the US. Do you agree?

Baseball is a game that few people watch alone. In fact, the more people who are watching it together, the more engaging and fun the game gets. The social aspect of this game might be why, no matter what team is playing, baseball remains so popular in the face of other faster and more exciting sports. However, it is not just the passionate audience that makes the game what it is, it is also the facilities, the surroundings and the ambience of the stadium itself. Here are the top baseball stadiums of America with a look at what exactly makes them such great ballparks:

The Top 3 Catchers in New York Mets History

The Top 3 Catchers In New York Mets History

The best catchers are of enormous value to their team. Of-course, they also have to bat and field like every other player of the team, so they have to be good all round players, and not just at the specific skill. The New York Mets has been very fortunate in this regard as it has been blessed with some amazing catchers over the year. In a baseball scoreboards feature, I have looked at the top three catchers that have ever played for the New York Mets. There has been a lot of them, and the competition is tough!

The Top 3 Dirtiest Players in the NFL in 2010

The Top 3 Dirtiest Players In The Nfl In 2010

In a football scoreboards review, I have listed the players we most love to hate – and the ones that we would least want to play against!

Football is a sport that not only tests the physical strength of an athlete, but also which tests their emotional strength i.e. their ability to refrain from being emotionally provoked by their counterparts. This is because besides being a brutal contact sport, it is also a sport where athletes brutally verbally abuse each other as well. However, some athletes completely fail to show any strength in controlling themselves as well as their emotions which is why they are termed as the dirtiest and most provocative players in the sport. Here is a list of players who managed to categorize themselves as the dirtiest players in the NFL in the year 2010.

NFL: The 2 most embarrassing defeats in the last 5 years

Nfl: The 2 Most Embarrassing Defeats In The Last 5 Years

In a sport such as football, with its testosterone overload and insaciable desire for bloody victory, there can be no sport in which losing is quite so painful. Even in a defeat, it is one thing to lose a tight competition and another to be completely crushed by your opponent. Now, that is utterly embarrassing. In a football scoreboards feature, I have discussed 3 of the worst defeats to a team in the NFL, and their comeback against the same opponent in their next game.

2 of the Best NBA Players and Their Signature Shoes

2 Of The Best Nba Players And Their Signature Shoes

In a basketball scoreboards feature, we take a look at the two biggest players in the NBA and their fancy footwear!

Just like any other commercialized sport, NBA is a highly lucrative industry for a great basketball player. And with great money, comes great…shoes! Shoes are the weapon for every athlete in every sport. Perhaps this is even more true for a basketball athlete (besides, of course, a marathon runner!) because a basketball player has to be completely comfortable in his shoes for him to execute precise the jumps and cuts. The biggest players in the NBA (who we see most on the basketball scoreboards!) like Kobe Bryant and Lebron James realize their shoes’ importance, which is why they have created a new breed of shoes and have partnered a shoe company to produce them. Now let’s take a look at what makes their shoes so special for them.

The Best 4 Forwards of the Last Few Years

The Best 4 Forwards Of The Last Few Years

In a soccer scoreboards feature, I have picked out the best 4 forwards that I have seen play in the last few years. Two of them are in their prime now, whilst the other two are at the end of their great careers.

Goals are the most interesting part of the game of soccer, and the people who score goals are admired dearly by their fans. Forwards have the big responsibility for scoring at least 20 goals for their team per season. We have seen some great forwards in the history of the game; now let’s take a look at some of the best to have plyed their trade in recent times, or who are still playing today.
