If you read any of the English newspapers on the post match analysis, you would see these lines "Dodgy penalty decision", "England deserverd to win", "Plastic surface" etc etc... attributing the failure to beat Russia to factors other than the poor selection and play from the manager/players. But this is not the case in most of the fans forums... few questions in my mind as well...
1. Why was Lescott playing as the left back... If I'm correct all the back four are center backs for their clubs. Micah Richards as right back (CB for Man. city), Ferdinand(ManU), Campbell(Portsmouth), Lescott as left back(CB for Everton). Nicky Shorey plays as right back for Reading was in the bench throughout the match.
2. Why didnt Robinson tip that ball(leading to the second goal) to the corner. If he had handled it soft it would have gone to a corner and not in the 6 yard box. But the defenders too were the culprits. Should have cleared the danger before palvychenko pounced on it.
Few saves from the Goalkeeping legend(Oliver Khan)
3. If u had seen the build up to the second goal(Youtube), you can easily see how nervous England were. Never really passing the ball but trying to clear it as for as they could inviting next attack by the Russians.
If you look at the stats below, you will never say "England deserved to win" as McClaren and others say.

The Buddha in Ushiku is 100 meters tall and is the highest Buddha statue in the world. This is almost 9 times the size of the Kamakura Big buddha(14m) and thrice the size of the Statue of Liberty(40m). And asusual you can see Mt.Fuji from the top of Big Buddha :) ...

I dont know how many of you hate Sreeshanth but I for sure hate this guy a lot...His antics is for what I hate him most... I can understand if someone who has proved at the international level, who is consistent enough, wins games single handedly can be this arrogant... But Sreeshanth hasnt proved anything... His figures isnt great as well... Has a bowling avaerage of 28.23, 32.78 and economy of 3.26 and 5.74 in Tests and ODI's respectively... Everyone has to learn from Walsh, Ambrose... One of the all time bowling greats... I have never seen them stare at anyone or a second look... even if a newbie hits them for a four or six...
Sreeshanth Bowling Average:
Bowling Mat--Inns--Balls--Runs--Wkts--BBI--BM--Ave--Econ--SR--4w--5w-10
Tests 11--22--2387--1299--46--5/40--8/99--28.23--3.26--51.8--4--1--0
ODIs 32--32--1575--1508--46--6/55--6/55--32.78--5.74--34.2--1--1--0
T20Is 8--7--162--216--7--2/12--2/12--30.85--8.00--23.1--0--0--0
But for sure I'm not the only one who hate him... but there close to 11 orkut
community of Sreeshanth Haters... Just behind Ricky Ponting... Which for sure he can be proud of ;) Sreenshanth Hate Clubs
The media has its own share in endorsing these stuff... Whenever I see him doing some nonsense stuff, u can always hear "This is good for the game", "One can expect a great series" and stuff like that... Also now he into movies as well...He is supposed to act in one malayalam film with Mammoty...
http://cricket.indiatimes.com/Sreesanth_offered_film_alongside_Mamooty/articleshow/2414063.cms
But this is not sportmanship... Im not saying Sreeshanth is the only one.. I hate Nel and I hate the Australian team for that... Sledging (Supposedly claimed as Mind Games by some) should never be tolerated... Otherwise this would make some like me turn away from Cricket...

There is a huge outcry over the Tamilnadu Government's proposal to go ahead with the Setu Canal project from various political parties and religious leaders raising the issue of Rama's bridge which is supposed to exist over there. I'm not going to comment on the presence of it or try defending Mr. Karunanithi's remarks about Lord Rama… What I think is that we should solely address this issue based on the benefits in the economy of India as well as the ecological/environmental effects that might arise by building this.
The proposed project would bring more revenue for the shipping industry in India and particularly for Tamilnadu, with the ports Tuticorin, Nagapattinam and Rameshwaram benefiting a lot and it also reduces the amount of fuel spent and also the amount of time one could save.
"Assuming that international vessels would prefer to go through this canal as against the Colombo port route, an estimated 2,000 vessels or more may use the canal annually. In the 19th year, cumulative annual earnings from the project are expected to be over Rs 5,000 crore." – Wikipedia
There’s always other side of this story…Based on the ecological aftereffects…
“Environmentalists are concerned as the Gulf of Mannar Marine Reserve is one of India's most biologically diverse coastal regions. Over 3,600 species of plants and animals are found here. The sea grass beds along the coast are among the largest remaining feeding grounds for the globally endangered dugong. Additionally five species of marine turtles, innumerable fish, mollusks and crustaceans also feed there. Gulf of Mannar is the first Marine Biosphere Reserve not only in India but also in South and South East Asia. The reserve covers 10,500 km² and has 21 islands with continuous stretches of coral reef. The coral reefs which surround the islands in the area are highly productive and are often referred to as "underwater tropical rain forest" and are a treasure house for marine ornamental fishes. The establishment of the Gulf of Mannar Marine Biosphere reserve has enhanced India's position as an environmentally responsible country in the comity of nations.” – Wikipedia
But for those who just look at this based on the political or religious reasons need not look behind our neighbors(China) who are building the largest dam in the world. The Three Gorges. The known estimated destruction caused by this project alone would run into billions… and the numbers of temples that would be destroyed/submerged might run into thousands. - CommonDreams
My view is that if it’s going to be a favorable for India then we should go for it... We should consider the economic/ecological/environment factors and not those of religion…

Were you able to spot the Not??? The pictures at the bottom are actually the miniature models of the original. We took these pics in Tobu World Square, Nikko, Japan...
When I went to Tobu World Square(Miniature world)... There was this little girl who was very curious about the miniature buildings... But the girls father was even more curious about it and the girl hardly got any chance to see the miniatures... She was restless in the beginning turning her head whatever way possible to have a peek at the miniatures but in the end she just gave up...
