Alec Baldwin’s Phone Call

Alec Baldwin is having a hard time trying to take back the phone message he left his daughter. They have a phone call schedule she missed and this apparently led to his angry father to leave a very mean message that somehow ended up all over the internet.
Baldwin already apologized in his website on Friday to his daughter and fans, however a law suit was in the way since the custody of the girl has been a problem for a while.

Killing at Virginia Tech

Tragedy flew over Virginia Tech’s campus today as a still non-identified man killed 33 persons. Investigations are still on as to figure out what are the motives of this insanity.
We are shocked all over the world as we can see that nobody and nowhere is safe anymore. Who could possibly think that you will be killed at a university classroom? specially being it as prestigious as Virginia Tech.
News are presenting now different interviews and videos of students that were inside campus at the time of the shootings. Some have even said the shooter showed up at a classroom, killed the professor and continued to shoot at everybody else even when they were laying on the floor. Some are now complaining because there was an inicial shooting at 7 am and campus was not closed for investigations and most people was not alerted. Police has responded that they figured everybody was safer in campus and never imagined the killer would still be there.
This is outreagous! We are in shock!

Uefa Champions League Semifinals

2007 Uefa Champions League

The road to Athens 2007 is already closer, Semifinal match ups are here and we care to analize each one of them and give an opinion who will be making it to the next round.

Now that we can see who is who in Europe and the PREMIERSHIP takes all the awards for being the best soccer league in the world with 3 out of 4 teams in the semis we can discuss in detail the two matches coming up…

The first match of the series will be held in Old Trafford on April 24th between Manchester United Man U and the AC Milan AC Milan. This is a final in advance, Man U has provided us with a show this season hard to miss, their position at the Premiership and the Champions is screaming to the whole World that they have the best team to take it all, players like Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Alan Smith and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are a feared combination and the rumors about a possible buy-out from Real Madrid on Cristiano’s part is actually adding a little more flavor to the dish on the 24th. AC Milan is a much older team but they have the Top Goal Scorer for the whole Champions league with 7 extraordinary goals in 10 matches, Kaka’ represents the strongest offensive card Milan can offer, players like Inzaghi, Gilardino, Seedorf and Pirlo are good but they are not young anymore and they could not be able to counter-attack the same way they used to. The best card the Milan is holding is on their defense and in way they hold together as a team, everybody saw what happened to Roma this week and how Sir Alex Ferguson shattered As Roma’s defensive structure, most italian teams play the same in defense and this might be a concern for Carlo Ancelotti but they will put their old but amazing defensive line to the test once more.

My Prediction in this game is a 2 – 0 victory of Manchester United at home and a tie at San Siro.

The other series is an England Classic between Chelsea FC Chelsea FC and Liverpool FC Liverpool FC. Well we all know what Chelsea can do holding a strong second place in the domestic league and with an outstanding roster behind them but the team is yet to prove once and for all they deserve the cup, their real test is here against a well organized and modest Liverpool with great players but not BIG NAMES, players who kill for their team, they have had the experience to win the trophy after an accelerating game versus Ac Milan three years ago. Chelsea’s forwards (Didier Drogba and Shevchenko) will have a great responsability for this game, they have to score in every chance they get because Peter Crouch will if they give him the chance. If we go back a while Liverpool has defeated Chelsea this year already so the hardest of tests will show who deserves to be in Athens this year.

My Prediction Chelsea 2 – 0 at home and Chelsea visiting 1 – 0.

If you want to wager or just see who is the favorite in this matches please feel free to go to Skytower Casino & Sportsbook and look around.

Colombia withdraw from 2014 World Cup race

Colombia has withdrawn its bid to host the 2014 World Cup leaving Brazil as the only candidate to stage the event, a source at the Colombian Football Federation (FCF) said on Wednesday.

The source told Reuters the federation had sent a letter to soccer’s world governing body FIFA announcing its decision.

South America is due to stage the tournament under a rotation system introduced by FIFA which starts in South Africa in 2010. The other eight South American federations have all backed Brazil.

Last month, Colombia President Alvaro Uribe criticised FIFA president Sepp Blatter for dismissing the bid as a publicity stunt.

‘Before he can say that, he has to get rid of all the mafia who have infected football, and respect Colombia,’ Uribe said.

Fergie: Premiership is best in Europe – no question

Sir Alex Ferguson claimed the Premiership is the top league in Europe after a breathtaking display by his Manchester United side against Roma.

Winners in 1999, they moved into the semi-finals of the Champions League alongside Chelsea and almost certainly Liverpool by routing the Italians 7-1 on the day, 8-3 on aggregate. Michael Carrick (two), Cristiano Ronaldo (two), Wayne Rooney, Alan Smith and Patrice Evra got the goals on a magical night at Old Trafford to set up a showdown against either AC Milan or Bayern Munich. United manager Ferguson said: ‘The fact that three English teams should be in the semi-finals probably makes our league the best in Europe. ‘Six or seven years ago Spanish football was the best. But on the evidence of this season Barcelona and Real Madrid are not as near to where they were in previous years. ‘The competitive nature and the quality of the English game has improved over the seasons.’

Beckenbauer hints at Hargreaves exit

Bayern Munich president Franz Beckenbauer has admitted for the first time that Owen Hargreaves could join Manchester United this summer – providing the price is right.

Speaking on Premiere television just a few hours before Bayern’s Champions League quarter-final against AC Milan, Beckenbauer said: ‘If it is right that there is an offer of 25-30 million euros (£17million-£20million) for Hargreaves, then I would seriously consider it. ‘I think the board also think this way to satisfy the needs of the player.’ The 26-year-old England international has been a long-standing United target, but the Bavarians have resolutely refused to deal with the Premiership leaders. They believe Hargreaves should honour the new four-year contract he signed last summer.

Brazil confirmed for June Wembley date

The Football Association this afternoon confirmed they had arranged a glamour friendly against the South Americans at the rebuilt national stadium on June 1.

The match – England’s first at Wembley for seven years – will provide a test for Steve McClaren’s side ahead of their Euro 2008 qualifier in Estonia five days later.

FA chief executive Brian Barwick said: ‘We’re delighted to be able to announce that Brazil will be the first team to take on England at the new Wembley.

‘It’s a fantastic match to mark the team’s return to the stadium after nearly seven years on the road around the country.

‘Brazil featured in some memorable matches at the old Wembley. The new stadium is a fantastic football arena and I’m confident there will be many new memories created there for England fans over the coming years.’

England were beaten by Germany in a World Cup qualifier in their last match at Wembley in October 2000.

During Wembley’s £757million reconstruction have have played at various club grounds around the country.

Football returned to Wembley last month as England Under-21s played out a 3-3 draw with their Italian counterparts in front of a crowd of 55,700.

The success of that match allowed the FA to confirm that the ground would be able to stage this year’s FA Cup final as anticipated in May.

Five-time World Cup winners Brazil played at the old Wembley on nine occasions, most recently in May 2000 when Michael Owen scored for England in a 1-1 draw.

Garnett Out Indefinitely with Quad Injury

act kevin garnett Garnett Out Indefinitely with Quad Injury

Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star Kevin Garnett is out indefinitely with an injured right quadriceps. Vice president of basketball operations Kevin McHale said Wednesday night that the injury has bothered the former MVP for months, and that Garnett and his agent decided it was time to shut it down and seek a second opinion before going forward. McHale said Garnett will visit doctors in the next day or two and will miss at least two of the team’s five remaining games. They will wait to see what the doctors say before Garnett decides if he will return at all this season. Garnett is averaging 22.4 points and a league-leading 12.8 rebounds a game for the Timberwolves, who were eliminated from postseason contention on Monday.

Beckham urges Ronaldo to stay with United

Former England captain David Beckham has advised Cristiano Ronaldo to stay at Manchester United for the good of his career.

The Portugal winger has been linked with both Real Madrid – Beckham’s club until the end of the season when he will move to Major League Soccer with the Los Angeles Galaxy – and Barcelona in recent months.

After last summer’s World Cup Ronaldo was heavily criticised for the part he played in getting United team-mate Wayne Rooney sent off during England’s quarter-final defeat against Portugal.

But Beckham, who received similar treatment after his sending-off at the 1998 World Cup, believes Ronaldo should stay at Old Trafford under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson.

‘He is at the right club. He is being looked after by a manager who knows how to look after someone who has been through what he has,’ the former United midfielder told the Sunday Express.

‘I may not have got through the things I did without the United manager, the players and the fans. I owe them everything.’

Tiger sneaks into Masters final round

The ominous figure of Tiger Woods overshadowed a brutal third round at the Masters on Saturday, despite stumbling to a bogey-bogey finish.

Most of the field slid backwards on what is traditionally known as ‘Moving Day’ at the majors and the four-times champion ended it just one stroke behind leader Stuart Appleby of Australia.

Red-hot favorite at the start of the week to clinch his 13th major title, Woods drove into trees off the tee on 17 and missed the green with his approach at the last on his way to an even-par 72, matching the day’s second best score.

Having toiled hard in gusting winds at a chilly Augusta National, the world number one had to settle for a three-over total of 219 but will tee off in Sunday’s final pairing with Appleby.

“That was one of the hardest rounds we have played out here,” a frustrated Woods told reporters after his second bogey-bogey finish of the week.

“It was a tough day with the wind gusts. You hit quality shots and just get absolutely hosed.

“Hopefully you get committed to hit the proper shot and get lucky at the same time with the wind.

“If you make 18 pars, you are going to move up that leaderboard,” added the 31-year-old American, who is hunting his third consecutive major after winning last year’s British Open and PGA Championship.

“Around here that’s not usually the case but it was today.”

Asked if he felt the same level of frustration as he did after dropping shots on 17 and 18 in the opening round, he replied: “Yes…and then some.
