NADAL WINS SECOND WIMBLEDON..

so rafa wins his second Wimbledon. great effort. you can't take credit away from him at all. he played better later in the tournament when it really mattered. his mental toughness and fighting attitude as i mentioned earlier clearly stood out. now, this win is a sign for greater things to come from him. Now, he has 8 grand slams to his name and he is only 24! his game might not be suited to hard courts but he has certainly played extremely well on grass for the past 4 years. with age on his side, he could go on to win many more slams. now the question is the hard courts of US. Can rafa win the US open for the first time? well too early to say..if Del Potro is fit and playing like last year, he will be my pick to win it but again, it is too early to say. Now is the moment to congratulate a great champion..

YouTube - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Theme 1966

YouTube - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Theme 1966 listen to this epic theme music from a classic. recently my colleague had pointed out the similarity in appearance of clint eastwood to one of our esteemed senior faculty at apollo delhi. that aside, this is an epic theme, and it has been copied in many bollywood movies as background score and shamelessly by anu malik in one of his ( many copied) songs. Enjoy the music.

Germany Derail Argentina

end of the dream for maradona. easy games against weaker sides led him to believe that his side was invincible. but they were always weak defensively. but today they attacked miserably. very slow movement, no vision, hesitation at the D, this all comes not from lack of talent, but from lack of confidence, they did not show any character. Plus Higuain really disappointed. Messi and Tevez were atleast trying to make space. Di maria should have shot better. germany were too fast and too good for them. germans look in ominous form. But may be Spain ( my only remaining team) can stop them. But being a sportsman at heart, i would welcome the best side to win. and it is the way you play that counts. the mindset. a positive mindset enhances the performance many times. training and skills are integral to any sport but mental toughness and right attitude is the winning edge. Biggest example that i can think of his Sir Alex Ferguson and what he has done with Manchester United. it is spain versus paraguay next. TIME FOR TORRES?
