6# Barclay's Premier League 2013-14 : The Epic Saga Starts Today !!!

Hey Friends,

The Barclays Premier League starts tomorrow and I am extremely excited like millions of other Premier League fans. As a loyal fan, like every season, this season too I am going to support Liverpool .The 2013–14 Premier League will be the 22nd season of Premier League, the English professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1992. The season will start on Saturday 17 August 2013 with the season concluding on Sunday May 11, 2014 and the fixtures were announced on 19 June 2013. The television broadcast rights will be given two-to-three weeks later. This will be the first season of the Premier League to use goal-line technology, with The Football Association having announced that Hawk-Eye will be installed over a period of up to six weeks in the stadium of the 17 teams who avoided relegation and the three teams promoted during the previous season.

3# Dominance of Cricket in India...

Hey Friends,


Earlier this day I was going through an article, and I was very upset at the ending while reading it. It was an article about the India cricketers who just won the ICC Champions Trophy and have been awarded with 1 crore rupees each from the government of our nation . If it were any other sport the prize amount would have half of this. There's a reason why Indians do badly in sports that require high levels of physical fitness.For India, despite its vast population (1.22 billion at the last count) and genetic diversity, has had an astonishingly unimpressive record in international athletic achievement. India won only one medal each year at the Games in 1996 (bronze), 2000 (bronze) and 2004 (silver). In Beijing in 2008, the Indian team won three medals including a gold, but was ranked 50th among all the nations participating, behind tiny countries like Belgium, Finland and the Dominican Republic. It is a shame that our country which has one-sixth of the total world population has to try hard to get even a single bronze medal in the Olympics.
