Lionel Messi

As if international football teams Argentina and Venezuela are not enough, football star Lionel Messi will play in Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata with his Argentina team in a friendly game against Venezuela.

Kolkata is up for a treat and for a state known for its love of football (remember the visit of football legend Diego Maradona?), nothing will beat a game with its dazzling star players in 120,000-capacity crowd on September 2. And even it is only a friendly game, we all know that Argentina can’t just play lightly specially with their new manager, Alejandro Sabella.

So, make sure you got your ticket in this rare football event plus Messi, only in Kolkata.

Usain Bolt, the fastest man on Earth, has been disqualified in 100m-run where he previously dominated, due to a false start, in the ongoing World Championships in South Korea last Sunday.

After Bolt’s disqualification, there was a minor disagreement, so a new false start rule may be on the books. This could lead to changes in track’s awful false start rule. The “one and done” rule has been on the books since 2010 and has led to a number of high-profile athletes getting kicked out of races before they begin.

Japan v USA: FIFA Women's World Cup 2011 Final

image credit: yahoo

The U.S. women’s football team fell short on the penalty kicks that led them to the defeat against the Japan’s team and the Cup in the finals held in Germany yesterday, July 17.

U.S. finished second after Japan keeper Ayumi Kaihori came up with a kick save on Shannon Boxx’s opening shot, then Carli Lloyd blasted her shot over the crossbar and Kaihori again saved Tobin Heath’s attempt after that. Japan won the shootout 3-1 and brings home the Cup to their disaster-stricken land and people.

Japan’s win will be much appreciated by Japanese people as the team played with them in their hearts and minds. Congratulations, Japan. Hope this World Cup brought you smile :)

U.S. Team vs. Japan Team on World Cup 2011 Finals

The FIFA Women’s World Cup 2011 final brings U.S. Women’s National Team to play against Japan team on Sunday at 2:45 p.m., ET. Japan Women’s Team is seen as an underdog since they have not won a single match against U.S. will use the raw emotion over the natural disaster, an earthquake and a tsunami, that killed more than 15,000 people several months ago. While the Japanese team will play to boost the Japanese people who are affected by the calamity, the Americans’ motivation is to win the World Cup for the first time since 1999.

Though Women’s World Cup is still far from men’s division popularity, it is reported that the number of TV viewers has increased 200 percent compared World Cup 2007 held in China. Will the FIFA Women’s World Cup match between US and Japan be an exciting game? Who’s your bet now?

Tiger Woods had announced last week that he will not be participating in the British Open this week at Royal St. George’s, so the anticipated announcement boggles the mind of sports commentators and his fans. One of the possibilities that they were looking into is Woods announcement of retiring. Is Tiger Wood ready to hang up his cleats?

Despite the buzz of Tiger Woods scheduled announcement, Tiger Wood’s agent, Mark Steinberg, stated that the famous golfer  is not making any announcement on Monday.

Petra Kvitova dropped on her knees in disbelief after defeating Maria Sharapova 6-3, 6-4 , winning her first Grand Slam title in All England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon today, July 2.  The 21-year-old Czech is the first left-handed woman to win Wimbledon since Martina Navratilova in 1990.

On Sunday, July 3, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, No. 1 vs. No. 2 Grand Slam finals, who have never met in Wimbledon, will meet for the finals, me. This match will definitely be an interesting one.
