What to see and what not to.........

whats up world??

So as the heat is turning on in the FIFA world cup....Already some 8-10 teams have qualified fr the next round and some still struggling to do so.... All i can say is that the world cup is at its best....Daily when i tune to a news channel or any other sports channel i find only football.....The gossips,goals,cards,etc.....Well one thing is fr sure that ESPNSTAR is dealing with money these days....Real busiiiinessssss....

I mean so many live coverages daily that they dint have enough channels to show all those live sports programs....Last night i was watching this star cricket(a channel specially made for cricket...only cricket 24/7)....They were showing a coverage of a cricket match But then suddenly they started Wimbledon and I was like WTH!!!...I think u all are aware of Wimbledon,The most prestigious tournament in tennis.....

As Tennis is one of my fav. sport so i started watching the match as it was Federer up against a rookie in a second round clash....Shock to see that a rookie giving Federer a tough fight.....evn federer was wondering(oh cmon! im 6 times champion at this stage and these kids are giving me a tough time!!) Tennis fr some has become an epic battle between Federer and Nadal.... Mostly its either both or one of them in the final and when they both come up agianst each other in the final then there is matchhhh.A real match,A match fr survival,A test fr the best...

Maybe because of this reason all the viewers were xpecting them to meet in the final once again and play like they always do when up against each other.....But they wont be able to play an epic match like the one between Isner and Mahut......Two players who played fr 3 days as if the court was there own,more than 11 hrs.

A match where the frst 4 sets ended in sm 3 hrs but the fifth kept on goinggg until the referee gt fed up of it and stopped the play fr the day.... Both started again on Wednesday and they ended the day due to bad light bt the fifth set was still going on with scores tied at 59-59....They started again on Thursday and finally the match ended with the score of 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(7), 6-7(3), 70-68...Now some facts abt the match......... John Isner, Nicolas Mahut
John Isner who was very tall before this match served 112 aces(Far more than the sum of all aces served by Nadal through out the whole season...), They played a total of 183 games(Federer played 161 games last year in six matches and clinched the title), A match played for 11hrs(i still remember when i saw LOTR...I gt fever the next day and was on bed fr the next 2 days...and the film was arnd 7 hrs only.....).Both served a totle of arnd 220 aces(enough to win 12 sets or 4 matches...). But yea finally the match is over and tomorrow he will have to play again as his opponent waits fr him in the 2nd round....

BTW Today is a clash between Portugal and Brazil my 2 fav. teams in the tournament...Bt i still cant decide whom to support whom not to..And also India won Asia cup yahooooooo...
