Football / Flash Back: The Treatment Of Iraq's National Team During Uday Hussein Era

« on: January 20, 2011, 03:57:21 AM »

 I Cringe when I saw this video and what Uday did to his national players while they (Saddam Hussein) were in power just goes to show the level  mankind will go to try and achieve a win. It left me asking several questions in many different avenues of human functions within their mental capacity while in existence. Very sad indeed.

It was a night of glitz and glamour when the National Action Cultural Committee (NACC) hosted its annual Top 20 Calypsoes for compositions in 2010. Among the dignitaries in attendance were Minister of Arts and Multiculturalism Winston “Gypsy” Peters and High Commissioner Designate to the Federal Republic of Nigeria Nyahuma Obika.

Among the night’s calypso stars in attendance were Young Kings Monarch Kwesi Jeffers, Calypso Queen Kizzie Ruiz, Contender, King Luta, Brian London and Duane O’Connor. Defending National Calypso Monarch Kurt Allen copped the coveted Calypso of The Year award for his song Too Bright.

Entertainment & Culture Discussion / "A promise is a promise" backed by "A 6 for A 9" THE $2M QUESTION

« on: January 12, 2011, 02:10:00 AM »

From the Trinidad Express:

Did the People's Partnership break its promise of multi-million-dollar prizes for Carnival winners?
By Ria Taitt Political Editor

Story Created: Jan 12, 2011 at 12:50 AM ECT

Story Updated: Jan 12, 2011 at 12:50 AM ECT

As he confirmed the $2 million prize money for the four major competitions (Panorama, Soca Monarch, Chutney Monarch and Calypso Monarch) will only be for this year, Minister of Multiculturalism Winston "Gypsy" Peters yesterday insisted the People's Partnership Government did not break its election promise.

Speaking to the Express by telephone, Peters said the Government was giving exactly what was promised on its election platform.

"The Prime Minister made a statement that she wanted to give the steelband, the Calypso Monarch, the Chutney Monarch and the Soca Monarch $2 million in prize money. She made that promise and she only made it this year," he said.

Responding to statements from the People's National Movement (PNM) that it was an open-ended promise, not a one-year promise, Peters asked: "Who made the promise? The PNM or us? We made a promise! And I am telling you what promise we made. They (PNM) could say what they want!"

Reminded that the electorate was told the prize money would be increased to $2 million, Peters said: "Nobody never say that. The Prime Minister said this year they going to get that ($2 million). And I made it clear exactly what it was, what she was saying. She never tell anybody that she was leaving any prize at $2 million indefinitely. She did not say that!"

Asked whether it was being given for this year only as part of the celebration of the People's Partnership election victory, Peters said: "I don't know if it is to celebrate that. But I would think that it could form part of the celebration."

He said he had explained to stakeholders that it was only for one year from the very beginning.

However, speaking at the People's Partnership election rally at the Aranjuez Savannah on May 22, two days before the election, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar told a massive crowd: "Today, I pledge to you as well that all the competitions which showcase the talent of our land, whether it be the Chutney Monarch, the Soca Monarch, the Panorama finals... in all these competitions ..., I pledge to you today that in true equality and justice, that the first prize for all these competitions will be $2 million...and that is how we will rise together, every creed and race; we will rise!"

On the controversy over the reduction in the steelband players' fee from $1,000 to $800, Peters reiterated since Pan Trinbago was getting an extra million dollars from the Government for this year, it could use this to give its membership the $200 difference.

Asked what would happen next year when this extra $1 million is not available to Pan Trinbago, Peters said they would "have to revert to what they are accustomed doing". Will Government then revert to the $1,000 players' fee? Peters said he had stated "one million times" that he did not believe that people should be paid to play in the Panorama preliminaries.

"When people have attained something; let's say you have gotten to the semi-finals, I don't mind paying you $1,000. But you cannot pay people for being in the preliminaries. That is my take on this whole thing," he said.

Peters added that people talked about their love of pan but asked where is this love of pan if money was the only motive for entering the steelband preliminaries. He said he was not in favour of the Government paying anyone to enter the preliminaries of any competition whatsoever.

"Like everybody else who enters a competition, the preparation for going into that competition is the individual's expense... It is your expense," he said.

However, he said while he was not in favour of paying any money to players for the preliminaries, he had made a compromise by agreeing to give $800. Furthermore, he said Government gave $20,000 and $10,000 to every unsponsored steelband, based on their size, in preparation for Panorama.

Peters said the country had other needs to service apart from the steelband. Government had to put beds in the hospital, feed hungry children, fix the roads and put water in the taps, he said.

"So we cannot be frivolously spending money all over the place," he said.

He said pan had all year to make money through its innovative ways.

"Everything in this country is, 'The Government must pay for that; the Government must give me this; the Government must give me that.' Come on! This country doesn't have as much money as we used to have. And if we go to spend it foolishly, we would be back in the same position that we are in now," he said.

He added Government must spend the money wisely and allow people to become independent.

On the PNM's position that support for the steelband was a valuable investment in economic growth and diversification because it brought tourists to the country, Peters said tourists came to this country to see people dance the bele, to play mas and to hear people sing calypso.

"People come here for a variety of reasons. People don't come here for one thing... They come here for Carnival...for a combination of things. And steelband is one aspect of our culture. It is one component of Carnival," he said.

Cricket Anyone / haven't seen this post but here's an article on Tendulkar's 50th Test century…

« on: December 20, 2010, 04:03:12 AM »

Home  Sport From the Guardian:
Tendulkar's 50th Test century…
Sachin focused amid frenzy
Published: Mon, 2010-12-20 22:48
FLASHBACK: No. 1: Sachin Tendulkar, right, saved the Old Trafford Test for India in 1990 with an unbeaten 119 in the final innings. At 17 years and 112 days, he was only a month older than Mushtaq Mohammad was when he had become Test cricket's youngest centurion. Wisden noted: "He looked the embodiment of India's famous opener, Gavaskar, and indeed was wearing a pair of his pads."

He was in a foreign land. At least a land that has stayed the most foreign to India even after their resurgence away from home. They started chanting “Sachin, Sachin” from the time he guided one past short third man to move to 88. There were whites, there were blacks, there were browns at the grass banks of SuperSport Park, and all they wanted was for Sachin Tendulkar’s 50th Test hundred to come in front of them.

It was difficult to not let that affect you, but Tendulkar was in a different sphere. He was trying to save a game, trying to kill time, trying to run through the deficit. He took his time to get to 89, and South Africa tried to cut out boundary-scoring areas. A forward short leg came in, Morne Morkel bowled bouncers - around the helmet area, and into the ribs. Tendulkar kept ducking, the lower ones he kept keeping out; if he was nervous, he wasn’t showing it. Against Paul Harris, who has somehow managed to be India’s nemesis, he hit a straight six to send the crowd into frenzy again.

The chants started again. When at 97, he faced another flurry of bouncers. One of them went for five wides. Ten deliveries he spent on 97. Then came Dale Steyn. He got an inside-edge past midwicket to move to 99. Then he squirted one between cover and extra cover, celebrating as he ran the 100th run. Not extravagantly. The helmet came off, the back arched a bit, and he looked up to the skies.

Tendulkar later spoke of the moment when he reached the milestone. “The first thing obviously I thought of was my father because I wanted to do it for him,” he said. “Yesterday was his birthday, and I would like to dedicate this to him.” Tendulkar didn’t know what to make of the landmark. Perhaps the match situation - India are on the verge of a defeat despite his and MS Dhoni’s effort - had something to do with it. Perhaps it is taking time to sink in. “I don’t know. I am okay. It’s just another number for me. It’s nice. Obviously I can’t say I am not happy, I am happy. But I don’t know how to express this. It’s good that it has come. Hopefully it doesn’t stop, it continues.”

Tendulkar remembered his first Test that was played against an attack that comprised three greats. He was quick to remind the reporters of Abdul Qadir’s presence too, to go with Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Imran Khan. “It was challenging,” he said. “I thoroughly enjoyed it. I learned a lot on that tour and whenever I have played them. It’s been a fantastic contest.”

Tendulkar has had a bumper 2010, this being his seventh Test century to go with the only double-century in the history of ODIs. Of his remarkable form, he said: “Just been batting and enjoying. Sometime you are striking the ball really well and that is when you need to cash in as much as possible. I only try to do that. I felt that the last couple of years I have been moving well. Also the frame of mind. It’s a habit, and once you build that habit, it’s a good habit to carry on tours and back home in India as well.”

Tendulkar also reiterated that records have just happened to come his way while he has been doing what he loves the most. “I am playing for the love of it,” he said. “If I was chasing records, I wouldn’t have missed those one-day matches in between. I have had to pace myself. I thought I was not in top physical condition, and I needed some break and requested the board for the rest so I stay fresh. If I were chasing records, I wouldn’t have done that. Its about producing quality cricket, and that’s what I want to do.” (CRICINFO)

It is a positive vehicle to keep up with our players in depth, home and abroad. There's so much happening now with football where as it is tough for local networks to handle or keep up with that kind of work load which requires tremendous all around tracking of the entire system of players in T&T. The past and present players can host various programs as guest on several topic items or travel overseas with the team so in that the public and nationals could have an insight of what is going on in and around the national squad. This is another major stepping stone for TTFF but it is important.  I know some wouldn't approve of it but it is a professional outlook and several levels up towards progress in Concacaf.

2010 World Cup - South Africa / From now on address him as: Sir Giovanni Van Bronckhorst

« on: July 13, 2010, 12:11:16 PM »

From : sport24.com
Defeated Dutch honoured

The Hague - The captain and coach of the Dutch football team were knighted in the presence of the Prime Minister on Tuesday, who called the team an "inspiration" despite its 1-0 World Cup defeat by Spain.

"The Netherlands is proud of Oranje (Orange -- the colour and nickname of the national team)," premier Jan Peter Balkenende told the team at his official residence in The Hague, where he hosted them to coffee and cakes with orange icing in the garden decorated with orange balloons.

Balkenende, wearing an orange tie, oversaw as Sports Minister Ab Klink pinned medals on team coach Bert van Marwijk and captain Giovanni van Bronckhorst to mark them as Knights in the Order of Orange-Nassau.

The knighthoods are bestowed by Dutch Queen Beatrix.

"A fantastic achievement," said Klink as he decorated the two men in a reception broadcast life on public television.

Van Bronckhorst, retiring after the World Cup, said the disappointment was still heavy, but thanked the squad for a "good tournament", and dedicated the decoration to them.

Balkenende described the squad as "a disciplined collective with a mission", and "a source of inspiration".

"So near and yet so far," he said, adding the image of the Spanish goal "is engraved on all our retinas".

"It was a blow for the Netherlands, a blow for you as players, a blow for Orange supporters."

But Balkenende urged the footballers to pick themselves up and aim for the next World Cup. "Let's not wait another 32 years for a World Cup final. Revenge is waiting."

The team, which arrived back in the Netherlands on Monday afternoon, would next meet the Queen at her working palace elsewhere in The Hague, before departing for Amsterdam for a ceremonial boat parade on the canals expected to be witnessed by hundreds of thousands of supporters.

2010 World Cup - South Africa / World Cup final had 24.4 million viewers in United States | Soccer

World Cup final had 24.4 million viewers in United States | Soccer



NEW YORK — World Cup television viewership rose 41 percent and the rating was up 31 percent over four years ago for English-language telecasts in the United States, with Spain's 1-0 extra-time victory over the Netherlands in the final setting a record for a men's soccer game.

Sunday's match in Johannesburg, South Africa, which gave Spain its first World Cup title, was seen by 15.545 million viewers on ABC, according to fast national ratings. The previous men's high was 14.863 million viewers for the United States' 2-1 overtime loss to Ghana in the second round on June 26.

An additional 8.821 million viewers watched Spanish-language coverage Sunday on Univision, according to Nielsen Media Research, bringing the total of U.S. viewers of the final to nearly 24.4 million.

ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 averaged a 2.1 rating and 3.261 million viewers for the 64 World Cup matches, compared with averages of a 1.6 rating and 2.316 million viewers four years ago.

The increases had been higher while the United States remained in the tournament. Through the first 50 matches, the rating was up 48 percent and viewers rose by 60 percent.

"We always expected that the presence of the U.S. team would provide us with these big spikes," John Skipper, ESPN's executive vice president of content, said Monday. "The TV rating is only a little piece of the story. One of every three people watched on something other than the television at their home — either watched in a bar, or on their phone, or in their office on a computer."

ESPN paid FIFA $100 million for rights to the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, while Univision spent $325 million.

The only World Cup match with more U.S. English-language viewers than for Spain's victory Sunday was the 1999 women's final at the Rose Bowl, when the United States beat China and 17.975 million watched on ABC.

As for markets, Miami-Fort Lauderdale finished with the highest average 2010 tournament rating on ABC/ESPN at 3.9, beating New York and Washington D.C. (3.6 each).

Univision averaged 2.624 million viewers for the tournament, up 17 percent from four years ago.

Spain celebrates

MADRID — Spain erupted with its biggest fiesta in memory when its team returned to a jubilant nation after winning the World Cup, giving elated Spaniards a break from months of economic gloom and political squabbling.

Hundreds of thousands of people — if not more — jammed Madrid's historic avenues as an open-air bus ferried the team down stately avenues to cheers from Spaniards decked out in a sea of red and yellow.

At the Royal Palace, King Juan Carlos hugged many players and gave manager Vicente del Bosque friendly punches.

General Discussion / Tiger Woods-Elin Nordegren Divorce Settlement Reportedly Final

« on: July 01, 2010, 04:17:08 PM »

Tiger Woods has reached a record divorce settlement with Elin Nordegren, according to a report by the  London Sun.

Woods will pay his former wife between $750 million and $833 million, the report says, which would be the biggest payout ever seen in a high-profile divorce. In return, Nordegren, 30, can never publicly speak about reported affairs he had while they were married.

According to the deal, which is expected to be finalized soon, Nordegren gets complete custody of their children (3-year old daughter Sam and 1-year old son Charlie), but Woods gets to share in making decisions in their life.

Woods also has to keep his children away from his girlfriends or any other unmarried women that Nordegren does not know.

Dirt Under The Nails
Coaching critical to injury prevention
Carla Rauseo
Published: 25 Jun 2010

Abby Sunderland the 16-year old sailor who
wanted to be the youngest person to
solo-circumnavigate the world.
Carla Rauseo

The World Cup is not the only thing that has held my interest over the last week. Abby Sunderland’s ordeal has managed a close second place. This 16-year old sailor who wanted to be the youngest person to solo-circumnavigate the world had to be rescued as she lost her mast in fifty-foot waves, miles away from land in the Indian Ocean. This begs the question—how young is too young? But age is not a factor in determining participation in physical activity. It is the TYPE of physical activity and the way in which the children are coached that needs to be addressed. Increasing numbers of young local athletes who have specialised early in one sport are incurring significant injuries.

Parents, think for a minute. What do you want for your child from his/her competitive athletic experience? A scholarship to university, maybe? To learn good social skills and stay out of trouble? To develop an appreciation for a healthy and active lifestyle? Think again, how much confidence should you place in a youth coach who knows nothing about pediatric exercise? Children are not miniature adults, and therefore should not be trained as such. The causes of pediatric injuries can be linked to the training regimen. The vigorous, repetitive, frequent training to which poorly educated coaches (many in T&T) subject their athletes increases the injury risk to the growth plate of maturing bones.

This is the region at the end of most bones where new bone growth occurs, increasing the length of the bone. In fact, the growth plate is most vulnerable to injury the year before it closes in late adolescence. Overuse injuries to these areas may take up to six months to heal. There goes that scholarship! What comprises a young athlete’s training programme should be determined by his/her neuromuscular and postural control (movement mechanics), and psychological and physical maturity. Owing to the increasing trends in childhood obesity and the decrease in free physical play time (because of these computer finger games), children are not properly developing their gross motor skills. They are therefore less able to cope with the demands of the training programmes of many of our local coaches. This is especially so for young girls who suffer more from knee injuries due to training.

Children are no longer multi-sport athletes. Gone are the days of climbing “de neighbour mango tree and tiefing mango,” or playing hide-and-seek in the drains of the neighbourhood. Kids are specializing in one sport too early, not allowing their bodies to develop into well-rounded, symmetrical little machines. They develop the postures and muscular imbalances of their particular sport and succumb to sport-specific injuries too early. Case in point is shoulder injuries in overhead athletes caused by tight chest muscles and shoulder muscle and flexibility imbalances. In addition, I always wonder at the quality of life of these “specialised” youth. Their training regimens alone are so structured and time consuming, and then there is school and exams. They always seem so tired to me. Where is their social time, their “play” time? Where is the variety of situations in the child’s life?

Parents I have questioned tell me that their social time is their time with their teammates in training. That hardly seems like variety and social/play time to me. Experts suggest that acute and overuse injuries can be reduced by fifteen to fifty percent if the factors related to youth sport injuries are addressed. Coaches should value preparatory training and the reduction of training errors (the classic Trinidadian case of too much too soon). Competition should evolve out of instructional training and preparation addressing fundamental skills before sport specific skills, thereby enhancing “physical literacy.” Fundamental locomotor skills (running, jumping, skipping, hopping), and object control skills (throwing, catching and striking) that require the motor fitness components of agility, balance and coordination should be the major focus of a youth coach in laying the foundation for more sport specific training.

“Land sorf,” is the usual instruction on jump technique in the Trinidadian coach’s vernacular. While they at least know that a hard landing increases the impact on the joints, they are often clueless about the actual landing technique and how to teach it. The child then proceeds to perform high-level jump training and then comes to my office with knee pain. Coach education is the key to long-term athlete development. There are no shortcuts. Well-informed experts state that it takes about eight to eleven years of training for a talented athlete to become elite. Why are we rushing? Coaches who adopt adult training philosophies (“no pain, no gain”) and insist on repetitive, high intensity activity five to seven days per week are just waving the two million dollar red flag of ignorance.

So parents, young athletes should be exposed to a variety of sports in a variety of settings with different people so that they can discover what they like and maximize their social, physical and psychological development while reducing musculoskeletal injuries. The key to success in sport is the application of FUNdamental principles. Coaches must be educated with an appreciation of the uniqueness of childhood and adolescence while understanding the importance of fun and creating a lifelong interest in physical activity.

General Discussion / Leading business owners and key officers opinions should remain neutral--

« on: May 04, 2010, 04:48:00 PM »

When it comes to politics. Public views and opinions are expected but business owners are too involve eg: The media as well as many other public serving entities. Sad to say but the world is not fair and biasness do exist and runs deep with-in our society.
