PSL Weekend Review 24-26 February 2012

Fight for the title

Moroka Swallows        2 – 2    Mamelodi Sundowns

Mamelodi Sundowns missed out on the chance to move six points clear at the top of the Absa Premiership when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Moroka Swallows at the Dobsonville Stadium in Soweto on Friday night. Read more on www.psl.co.za

Bidvest Wits    1 – 1    Kaizer Chiefs

Kaiser Chiefs waste a change to come with-in 1 point of the log leaders as they draw against a youthful and exiting Wits side on Saturday evening.

Amakhosi started off the brightest going in front after just two minutes through Parker but the celebrations were short lived because Wits equalised 4 minutes through what looked like a handball by Sifiso Vilakazi.

Those two strikes ended up being the only goals in the tie and Chiefs squandered a chance to go one point behind Mamelodi Sundowns.

AC Milan vs. Juventus 25 February 2012 (Match of the week)

To Much Heat For Linsanity

Why do South African teams fail to impress in the CAF Champions League?

1.      South African players don’t have team spirit.

South African players seem as though they play for themselves and they really don’t give a “you know what” about the team.

Players don’t take on the responsibility of pulling their team out of the fire and giving them the oomph to be victorious at the end of the day. When things go wrong players don’t look for the ball anymore and they go into hiding because they are afraid of criticism.

Chisora v Haye at Post-Fight Press Conference

Shocking! but entertaining!!

LIN-SANITY!!

Heavyweight Boxing: Chisora v Klitschko

Vitali Klitschko and his brother have dominated the heavyweight boxing scene for a while and its actually getting a little boring watching them win (almost) every fight for the past 10 years. Dereck Chisora a 28-year-old British trash-talking heavyweight gets his chance to end the winning streak on Saturday in Germany.

Chisora is a massive under-dog in this fight and you’d only be one of two things to bet against Klitschko defeating him on Saturday which is 1.Crazy or 2. Brave.

Mid-Week European Football Review

UEFA Champions League last 16

Bayer Leverkusen       1-3       Barcelona

Barcelona have all but qualified for the quarter-finals after Sanchez and Messi put Barcelona 3-1 in front in the first leg ahead of the second at the Camp Nou two weeks time.

Leverkusen sat deep and invited Barcelona on to them hoping that they wouldn’t break them down but 4 minutes from half time Sanchez scored his first champions league goal.

In the second half Bayer came out a little bit more positive creating chances and even equalizing but immediately conceded again then late in the game Messi capped off the victory with a volley.

Leverkusen never believed that they could beat Barca they looked scared, shy and they gave them too much respect. Bleh!

AFCON: Semi-Finals Review

Zambia  1-0  Ghana

A penalty miss by Asamoah Gyan on the 7th and Emmanuel Mayuka’s goal on the 78th minute was enough to sink the Black Stars.

Zambia will meet the winners of last evening's other semi-final between Mali and Ivory Coast in Sunday's final in Libreville.

That match is set to provide an emotional stage for the Zambians as they return to the city associated with one of the country's most dreadful events.

Libreville was the city where a plane carrying the Zambian national side refuelled in before crashing into the Atlantic Ocean in 1993, killing all 30 people on board.

Pakistan 3-0 test whitewash against England... Shame…

Pakistan finished their first ever uncontaminated sweep against England in the Test series on Monday. The Pakistani spin attack was way too much to deal with for the English batsmen, Abdur Rehman and Saeed Ajmal (the Man of the Series) shared 43 wickets between them in a three match Test series and they asked all the questions that England couldn’t answer.

Weekend European Football Review 3-6 February 2012

English Premier League

Fight for the League


Manchester City          3-0       Fulham


After Man City scored that penalty within the first 15 minutes we all knew the outcome, Fulham, a poor away side, were never going to come back. BOOORING!


Chelsea            3-3       Manchester United


Two penalties by Wayne Rooney and a free header 6 minutes from time by Chicharito capped off an astonishing comeback by Manchester United.


United were controlling the game but after an own goal by Jonathan Evans they found themselves 1 goal down 10 minutes before the half time break.


In the second half after only 5 minutes ManU were 3-0 goals down, goals that came from an incredible volley by Mata and an own goal by Rio. By then the match looked over but knowing the Chelsea defence-which didn't even have Terry and Cole- it wouldn't of been impossible for them to concede 3 goals in the remaining 40 minutes.


Long story short Manchester United fought their way back and they gained a point and the Blues lost two. GREAT GAME!
