My Favourite Footballers of all Time

I have always admired skillful players. Diego Maradona always excites me whenever I watch his game even though he has been retired for almost a decade. His footwork is pure magic and his passion for the game especially the World Cup is uncomparable.
I believe that Argentina could not have won the 1986 World Cup without Maradona.
Zinedine Zidane affectionately called Zizou is a naturally gifted player with an extraordinary ability to control the ball. He has been a great asset to the French national team and Real Madrid. I will miss him when he retires after the World Cup.
Ronaldinho is unstoppable. One reason I like him so much is that he seems to enjoy his game. It is almost as if he would play football for free. I like his passion for the game. He is the type of player the game needs. He is the major reason Brazil look like they will retain the World Cup trophy in Germany.

Arsenal Sail Through to Champions League Final

Arsenal resiliently defended their one goal advantage from last week's first leg Champions League semi-final against Villareal to qualify for the final in Paris.
Villareal pressured Arsenal most of the time and were awarded a penalty just two minutes to the end.
The penalty by Riquelme was however saved by Jens Lehmann.
The match ended goaless and 0:1 aggregate in Arsenal's favour.
Arsenal thus become the first London club to for the UEFA Champions League Final ever.
They will play Barcelona in Paris on May 17th.
Barcelona impressively knocked out AC Milan 1:0 on aggregate after playing a goaless game in Nou Camp (Barcelona).

The Significance of Easter Has Been Lost

It is common these days to associate Easter with a long weekend of eating, drinking and having fun.
Here in Britain and across much of Europe, pubs and clubs are expected to be filled to capacity even on Good Friday, the day of Christ's crucifixtion.
In my view, there is nothing wrong with having a good time during Easter but the lesson of Jesus Christ's extraordinary sacrifice should never be forgotten.
So whilst we have fun, we should not forget that Christ sacrificed his life to save us.

Appearances are Deceptive

There is an old African legend about King Sumanguru Kante who executed his brother who was also a king. He went on to execute eleven of his brother's twelve sons.
Sumanguru spared the twelfth son, Sundiata Keita, either because he took pity on the boy or thought it likely he would die anyway.
Sundiata had ailments that crippled him and he was almost always sick when he was young.
Sundiata, however, eventually overcame his physical obstacles and grew into a strong young man.
He then led a revolt against his uncle and his forces routed Sumanguru.
He also went on to rule over a vast empire and became the most feared and respected king of his generation.
