Quarter-finals: Porto v Man. United

Among the English football Clubs Man. United is the second highest Uefa Champions League title holders. And Liverpool is the on top how kicked out from the tournament yesterday along with Chelsea scoring 5-7 and other semi finalist is Barcelona who beat Bayern. So, it is a big challenge for the English FC Man. United similar for the Portuguese FC Porto.

 

Man. United kept the match drawn scoring 2-2 and that was the home match for the English FC but second leg match will be hold on FC Porto’s home ground Estádio do Dragão. So this is very important for the both teams and has to show strong performance from the both side.

 

Man. United had to satisfy in their home match just for drawn when FC Port’s preformed confidently if they can continue it then it will be dangerous for the English giant. It can say easily that all the teams will play very positive match in the home ground and FC Porto is stepping a head.

 

This is a big pressure for Man. United but confident to take on the series lead. Sir Alex said: "We were disappointed in losing the last-minute goal [by Mariano] in the last game. That has given a definite edge to Porto but we are capable of turning that around. It is not as if we are going here without a big chance. We have to remember the places we have been in the past, like Juventus, when we drew at home and won away."

 

I mentioned that Portuguese superb FC Porto is taking the match very seriously because they are going to take on the best European Football Club at their home ground.

 

Jesualdo Ferreira: "I said before the game in Manchester that we were very confident and wanted to produce a good performance. We have the same level of confidence a week later." The Portuguese titleholders attacked United with a boldness seldom shown by visitors to Old Trafford and Ferreira promised more of the same. "We don't know how to play in a different way," he said. "This team can never change its identity."

But the six times champion of CL have been kicked out for the running season and other German Club has Bayern beat to the Spanish club and most time winner Barcelona.

 

Liverpool, one of the strongest English Football Club who is leading the second positing of the English Premier League and Chelsea is the 3^rd position holders just 3 point back has beat Liverpool in the UEFA Champion League 2008-09 for 5-7. The two matches of them were nail-beating completion to them. In the first-leg match Chelsea was a head by scoring goals1-3 that was held on last week. In spite of draw in the 2^nd leg match Liver has been kicked out from the tournament this year.

 

The 2^nd leg match was very competitive and the fans of both English Football Clubs enjoyed most. Liverpool has a very good record in this gourd where they drew more tournaments as an example I want to use the Champions League 2005 when the beat AC Milan and scored 3 goals just six minutes.

 

Other Semi-final qualified team is Barcelona that beat German Football Giant Bayern scoring 5-1. In the fist led mach Barcelona pushed 4 goals but none from the oppositions Bayern.

South Africa v Australia: Preview, video streaming and Live score, 4th ODI

Host South Africa is ahead after take the lead in the third one-day. At this moment they are in the leading the series by 2-1. Although SA lost to Aus in the first one-day international cricket match at Kingsmead, Durban, on 3 April 2009 by 141 runs. The 4th match is the series result confirmed match for the host but if Australia win then the fifth and final match will be important to all. When South Africa visited Australia, they beat the host 4-1. Although the host is still all head but if Aus could win the 4th and 5th ODI then the result will go to Australia.

It seems that it is difficult the visitors because they are not in good form. In the test series they showed good performances and able to beat the SA in their home grounds which is almost impossible.

Australia could not show their exact proficiently in the Twenty20 crickets and everybody will shout with me in same voice. During the Twenty20 world Championship they had to bow down their head to India in spite of heavy fight in the semi-final. But at this moment all of their efficient crickets are not in the team even who are in still now they all are out of form.

 

In the first one-day Australia beat South Africa profoundly of 141 runs. Really this is a big achievement to them. But last two match defeats depressed more. I think they will come back to the series by winning the 3^rd match that is going to hold at Port Elizabeth on April 13, 2009.

 

Ten Sports will broadcast the match live for the Subcontinent’s cricket fans. And, some websites will show text commentary live during the match running time even you can get preview and analysis through the websites.

South Africa’s winning rate of last five matches is very stable and lost only a single match. Most probably all the matches were along side Australia. After finishing the series with SA, Australia played one-day matches with the neighbors New Zealand when they won the series bout one match was not result from this view Australia just get loss in the previous two matches.

 

Winning records of Australia at St George's Park, Port Elizabeth is very balanced. It just lost one one-day match along with South Africa as well as they played with the Sri Lanka and New Zealand too. Among the nine matches Australia played seven matches and a single match will Sri Lanka and New Zealand.  Australia last met to South Africa on Mar 5, 2006 and won for 24 runs. The next match will be the 10^th match of Aus but 8^th match.
