Efficient Tackle Technique by The Kid

Might be the Professional Soccer Players should learn this efficient tackle technique.

I just smile when I browsed around and found this video, how the kids play soccer just with their way, there are two points in my sight that really attracted me

First, the little samba kids who wore the yellow shirt, really dribled the ball well with samba style, it's just like how Brazilian play soccer, might be he is a Brazilian kid, who knows?



Second, the efficient tackle kid who wore the black shirt, really nice tackle technique, might be the professional players should learn that tackle technique to stop the opponent, haha of course if they just don't care with their career anymore, cause they might have a chance to get injury like Peter Cech, Chelsea's First Goalkeeper, get on his head which make him have to wear a special helmet until now.

Hope this Efficient Tackle Technique video will inspire you when you play soccer and have to stop the opponent that couldn't be done by usual way.

Good Luck!!

Batigol Keeps Scoring on Horseback

Argentinian legendary football player, Gabriel Omar Batistuta, has been retired since 2005. Five years after, he is still enjoying his life away from football. Batigol, his nickname, dedicated his retirement days to his farming business and construction company in his home country.

Apparently, Batistuta still can't lose touch with sports, he still regularly plays golf and polo. He started his polo career around a year ago. He chose to learn from his compatriot, Adolfo Cambiaso, world's number one polo player. He tried to prove that he can scoring a goal on a horseback as better as he was with his feet.


The retired striker has his own polo horses and his own team, La Gloria. The team wears a purple shirt with a coat of arms like Fiorentina's, a tribute to the club where the Argentine made a name for himself in the Italian Serie A football league.

Gabriel Batistuta also has completed his football coaching badges in Argentina, but at this moment he still shows no interest for coming back in the football field. He expressed an interest in coaching Argentina's national team and his former club, Boca Juniors. He said that it would be an honor, but now is not the right moment yet.

Maybe with Argentina defeated so early in quarter-final of 2010 World Cup he will change his mind?

As a national player, Gabriel Batistuta is the all-time highest scorer for Argentina's national team, with 78 caps and 56 goals. He also represented his country at three World Cups. In 2004, he was named in the FIFA 100 list of the "125 Greatest Living Footballers".

10 American Richest Athletes

Tiger Woods adultery scandal paid off! Many big sponsors like AT&T, Accenture LLP, and Gatorade left him. Unfortunately, this was not yet moved him from the top of the American richest athletes list. However, he has a significant dropped income since my last post about World's Richest Athletes.

Recently, Sports Illustrated released a list of the 50 top-earning American athletes by salary, winnings, endorsements and appearance fees. They called their compilation list as "2010 Fortunate 50". These are the top 10 of U.S. richest athletes:

1. Tiger Woods/golf ($20,508,163 salary/winnings; $70,000,000 endorsements, $90,508,163 total)


2. Phil Mickelson/golf ($9,660,757; $52,000,000; $61,660,757)
3. Floyd Mayweather Jr./boxing ($60,000,000; $250,000; $60,250,000)
4. LeBron James/NBA basketball ($15,779,912; $30,000,000; $45,779,912)
5. Alex Rodriguez/MLB baseball ($33,000,000; $4,000,000; $37,000,000)
6. Shaquille O'Neal/NBA basketball ($21,000,000; $15,000,000; $36,000,000)
7. Kobe Bryant/NBA basketball ($23,034,375; $10,000,000; $33,034,375)
8. Derek Jeter/MLB baseball ($21,000,000; $10,000,000; $31,000,000)
9. Peyton Menning/NFL football ($15,800,000; $15,000,000; $30,800,000)
10. Dwayne Wade/NBA basketball ($15,779,912; $12,000,000; $27,779,912)

For the complete list of the fortunate 50, visit Sports Illustrated website.

Besides American richest athletes, SI also compiled the list of 20 world's richest athletes, as follow:


1. Roger Federer (Switzerland/tennis) $61,768,110


2. Lionel Messi (Argentina/soccer) $44,000,000
3. David Beckham (England/soccer) $40,500,000
4. Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal/soccer) $40,000,000
5. Manny Pacquiao (Philipphines/boxing) $38,000,000
6. Ichiro Suzuki (Japan/baseball) $37,000,000
7. Valentino Rossi (Italy/MotoGP racing) $35,000,000
8. Yao Ming (China/basketball) $34,378,325
9. Rafael Nadal (Spain/tennis) $27,466,515
10. Lewis Hamilton (England/F1 racing) $26,700,000

For the complete list of 20 world's reichest athletes, visit Sports Illustrated website.

From the list we can take a conclusion, although two golfers were at the top of the list, actually only those two that were in the list. In America, 15 fortunate athletes came from NFL, while 16 from NBA. From the world's list, football/soccer still dominated as world's no. 1 sport with 7 players on the top rank, although a tennis player, Roger Federer, was on the top place.

Apparently, the highest salary/winning prizes in sport still held by boxing, followed by soccer and racing. But famous figures from other sports can be on top list because their endorsements/marketing were high, because they are having a high-selling personality, both in good or bad terms.

One more thing, the only woman athlete in those list is Maria Sharapova (Russia/tennis) with annual income of $19,923,619, put her in 20th rank of world's richest.

Jennifer Aniston : Jennifer Aniston wins order against duct tape stalker

Jennifer Aniston was granted a restraining order Tuesday against a stalker, described by her lawyers as "violent" and "delusional," who was arrested outside her Hollywood Hills home last week.


Jason R. Peyton, 24, was detained last week after he spent days trying to find Aniston, 41, on Sunset Boulevard. On him: A sharp object, duct tape and love notes to the actress.
"Mr. Peyton has aggressively sought to have personal contact with me and integrate himself into my life," she said in a signed court declaration.
He is now required to stay away from the home, work and car of the actress. The court documents describe Peyton as “obsessed” and “delusional.” A hearing will be held on August 9, but until then, the Los Angeles police have placed Peyton on psychiatric hold against his will. He has previously been accused of stalking and ignored court orders that mandate he stay on anti-psychotic medications.
Aniston's lawyers described Peyton as "an obsessed, mentally ill and delusional stalker - with a history of violence and criminal stalking - who drove cross-country in his delusional 'mission' to locate and marry (Aniston), with whom he believes he is in a relationship."
Peyton also believes he is related to numerous celebrities including Oprah, Jay-Z, Donald Trump, Courteney Cox, Nelson Mandela and Jennifer Lopez, according to the documents.

Jennifer Love Hewitt : Jennifer Love Hewitt's mom on prostitute role


Jennerfer Love Hewitt’s mother is proud she is playing a prostitute in her new film.
The 31-year-old actress stars in TV movie The Client List – which aired on US TV channel Lifetime last night — as a married mother of three who decides to sell her body after she and her husband lose their jobs.
"The women are going out and helping and doing those things," she told OnTheRedCarpet.com. "When you're a family, it's not about who goes out and does it - it's about who can. She's able to go and sort of do this work and get her family back on steady ground and I did find it empowering."
"I thought it was very interesting that it was a story of a women going out and doing it this time versus a man," she told reporter Chris Balish.
Jennifer hopes people will reassess their preconceived opinions on why women go into prostitution once they have seen the film.
“Given where we are economically, it’s an interesting story. This is the most recession-proof business there is! It’s really a movie about the human condition, and the heart, and where life can take you,” she said.

Holiwood Actress Lindsay Lohan's Journey to Jail

Lindsay Lohan was taken into custody on Tuesday to start a 90-day jail term for violating her probation on a 2007 drunk-driving and cocaine-possession charge.


Lohan arrived about 10 minutes late and was accompanied by attorney Shawn Chapman Holley and her mother.
The 24-year-old has been free on bail since missing a court hearing in May for a 2007 drug and alcohol case.
Revel sentenced Lohan two weeks ago after ruling that the "Mean Girls" actress had again failed to complete weekly alcohol education classes imposed in 2007. Lohan must also attend a 90-day residential rehabilitation program on her release from jail.
Lohan, wearing a grey T-shirt, looked tired and tense at the brief court hearing. She did not speak.
Her stay will be longer than the 84 minutes she spent at a suburban Los Angeles jail in 2006 and marks the beginning of a new phase of punishment for drug and alcohol cases filed that year.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel sentenced the "Mean Girls" star to jail, three months in rehab and increased scrutiny by probation officials on July 6 after determining the actress violated her probation by missing seven alcohol education classes since December.

Congratulations to the ROLANDS ! ! !

Expanding The Lorenzo's Land

Jorge Lorenzo, former 250cc (now Moto2) World Champion, is now competing at MotoGP class with Factory Yamaha team. He is also Valentino Rossi's rival and teammate. Since his debut in MotoGP class in 2008 until GP Catalunya this year, Jorge Lorenzo has won 10 races.

Jorge Lorenzo has a unique way to celebrate his victory in every race. He usually brings a black flag with a logo of a circle around "X" mark. In the bottom of the flag there is a writing of "Lorenzo's Land".


He then stick the flag to the gravel area of the circuit, to illustrate "the conquests of Lorenzo" and shows that the track has become on of the "Lorenzo's Land".




Jorge Lorenzo, now 23-year-old, also launched his comic book with the same title, "Lorenzo's Land", with his native language, Spanish.

With the incident that happened to Valentino Rossi, made him absent for some races, Lorenzo was predicted will dominate this season of MotoGp. From the first 7 series being held, he won five of them, with consecutively for the last three races. I guess he still eager to conquer more area to become his land.

Pop star Jennifer Lopez cancels north Cyprus show

Singer Jennifer Lopez has put the kibosh on a show in the Turkish-controlled north of Cyprus. The performance came under fire from Greek Cypriots, who started an online campaign calling for the gig to be canceled.
"Jennifer Lopez would never knowingly support any state, country, institution or regime that was associated with any form of human rights abuse," a statement on Lopez's website said.
"After a full review of the relevant circumstances in Cyprus, it was the decision of her advisors to withdraw from the appearance. This was a team decision that reflects our sensitivity to the political realities of the region."


Lopez, her husband singer Marc Anthony and their two children were due to stay at the Cratos Premium Hotel, located in a region where thousands of Greek Cypriots were displaced from in 1974. She was booked to perform there on July 24.
The gig, scheduled for J.Lo's 41st birthday, reportedly would've come with a $3-million paycheck. Apparently, as Beyoncé may have learned after playing a little New Year's Eve gig in St. Barth's for a son of Moammar Kadafi, not every multimillion-dollar paycheck is worth it the hassle.

Michael Jordan New Ads with Hitler's Mustache

Although has been retired for several years, Michael Jordan still a popular brand to sale, and many products want to use him in their ads campaign. Recently Hanes launched a new men's underwear clothing, and used the former NBA superstar in their ads.

What started a little bit of controversy around Jordan's fans was his appearance on that ads, where he grew a mustache like Hitler's. They know that Jordan can't be a Hitler's admirer, but they just curious why he did such thing?



Some celebrities and former NBA players have a joke about this one.


Actor Jay Mohr wrote on her Twitter account to boycott Jordan's product until he get rid of his silly mustache. In Jimmy Kimmel Live, Aston Kutcher said that Jordan's mustache looks like the German's dictator, while Kimmel prefer to mentioned it looks like Charlie Chaplin.

While Michael Jordan ex-rival, Charles Barkley said that Jordan's appearance was stupid, because Jordan always became a trendsetter since his glory days as basketball legend. It was Jordan who popularized bald hair-cut in NBA, he also the one who started to using a long pants in the NBA.

After retirement, I guessed Jordan's fashion sense is kinda dull.

Ow Crap! David Villa's Goal Saves Larissa Riquelme from Stripping

Paraguay was defeated by Spain by 1-0 in last night 2010 World Cup quarter-final in a very dramatic match. I don't know to whom I must get angry for, David Villa who scored the only Spain goal, or to Oscar Cardozo who failed to executed penalty kick for Paraguay earlier in the match.

What I do know those moments in the game ruined my dream to watch Larissa Riquelme running naked in Asuncion.

Larissa Riquelme is a famous lingerie model in Paraguay. During this World Cup she attracted many attention from football fans, because every time she supported Paraguayan national team, she always wore a sexy dress that shows her beautiful cleavage.

Not enough with that, Larissa Riquelme also has pledged to run naked through the streets of Asuncion if Paraguay wins the World Cup. The 24-year-old model said that she will linger around the street "with her body painted with the colors of Paraguay."

She is heartbroken like we all are


Now, with Paraguay defeated, she has a heartbreak, so am I. But at least I still can be grateful because in the earlier match Argentina was defeated by Germany by 4-0. Why? Because this way I don't have to watch Diego Maradona running naked in the street of Buenos Aires. Yes, actually Riquelme pledge was inspired by Maradona that made the same promise if Argentina can win the World Cup.


Our travels...
