Liverpool challenge for top spot in English Premier League standings suffered another blip as this weekend they picked a slender defeat over fellow title rivals, Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Looking keen on redeeming their midweek defeat from Manchester City, The Reds were pushing forward early in that encounter as they went one goal up after just three minutes of play through Martin Skrtel's close range finish. That early blow triggered positive response from the Blues as they were pouring forward vigorously and eventually got back on level terms with an excellent effort from Eden Hazard on 17 minutes.
That equalizing goal gave more confidence for Chelsea as they kept on pressing hard and eventually turning things around with a fine finish from Samuel Eto'o on 34 minutes. Leading 2-1 in the first 45 minutes, The Blues were much more keen in maintaining solidity after the break instead of going on an aggressive attacking rampage. That tactical approach went well for Jose Mourinho's men as although failing to extend their lead, the home side were able to keep that slender lead up till the final whistle was blown.

Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool
4′ 0-1 Skrtel M. // 17′ Eden Hazard 1-1 // 34′ Samuel Eto´o 2-1

West Ham United vs Arsenal FC
2013/2014 English Premier League, Round 18

West Ham returned to their struggling ways last time out, being swept aside 3-1 by Man United. A brief moment of joy came for the Hammers when they made the semi-finals of the League Cup-and that's all well and good-but they must begin to pick up points or risk the proposition of another year outside the top-flight. Unfortunately for Sam Allardyce and Co., they face a visit from 2nd place and London rivals Arsenal. The Hammers have really struggled for goals this term amidst a slew of injuries, so a trip from one of the top-rated defences doesn't look to be the remedy to their problems. Carroll, Downing, Reid, and Vaz Te are out. 
Arsenal played to an uneventful 0-0 draw with Chelsea on Monday. Perhaps with the extreme weather to blame, Arsenal's attack left much to be desired and Arsene Wenger may look to shake things up by benching Olivier Giroud in this one. However, the Gunners sit tied with Liverpool in points atop the league table and should be able to create ample opportunities on Boxing Day-a day that Arsenal has gone unbeaten on since 1999. In addition, they haven't lost to West Ham in their last 11 fixtures in all competitions-winning 9 of those in the process. Wenger may opt to rest a few players with a trickier away fixture to come on Sunday (at Newcastle), but that shouldn't stop them from grabbing all 3 points from their London counterparts.

Date: Thursday, 26 December 2013, 3:00 PM - 16:00 CET

Qatar World Cup Controversy

In 2022, Qatar will become the world’s first Arab country to host the World Cup. The Qatar 2022 World Cup bid committee, headed by Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad, said that bringing the World Cup to Qatar would improve relationships between the West and the Middle East. Fifa President Sepp Blatter said that “the Arabic world deserves a World Cup” as it has 22 countries and has not had any opportunity to host the World Cup so far. However, Fifa’s decision to permit Qatar to host the 2022 World Cup is embroiled in controversies.
Bribe Allegations
Testifying before a parliamentary inquiry committee in UK in May 2011, Lord Triesman of the English Football Association alleged that Fifa committee members Jack Warner and Nicolas Leoz demanded $4 million and honorary knighthood, respectively, in exchange for their votes. Besides, two reporters from Sunday Times testified that they had received information about members Jacques Anouma and Issa Hayatou each receiving $1.5 million to vote in favor of the Qatar bid. These allegations forced Fifa to order an internal probe into the issue. If the allegations are proved right, another vote might be held on the Qatar 2022 World Cup bid.
Heat
When it was pointed out to Qatari officials that it could get as hot as 50 degrees Celsius during the World Cup season, they said that they have all the cooling technology required to bring the temperature down to 25 degrees Celsius within the stadium. However, these cooling technologies have never been tested for efficacy in large stadia and Qatar cannot guarantee that it will keep things cool enough during the sweltering heat.
Blatter’s Insensitive LGBT Remark
Fifta’s acceptance of Qatar’s 2022 World Cup bid was also questioned because homosexuality is a crime in Qatar. Blatter was severely criticized for saying, “I would say they should refrain from any sexual activities.”
Speaking on BBC Radio 5, John Amaechi, a gay athlete and former basketball star, referred to Blatter’s remark as “absurd” and said that the issue is not about getting a sanction to have sex, but about “the fact that Qatar was one of 79 countries to sanction executing gays at the United Nations.”
This isn’t all. In early 2013, The Guardian reported about Qatari construction companies, commissioned to construct structures for the 2022 World Cup, hiring Nepalese laborers, forcing them to work under unsafe conditions, and preventing them from leaving by holding their work permits and passports.
Rather than worrying about the issues that will continue unabated we suggest you visit Gambling Africa. Its not going to cause any stress at all.

PSG, on the other hand, is expected to paly with three stikers in the font lines, so as to try to win the match and, thus, the difference in points between it and Monaco will not get bigger. The star, Ibrahimovic, will play in the front lines with Lavezzi and Cavani behind him, so that PSG may have easier chances to score. The latter, who won the last game against Guingamp with both goals being  scored in the overtime.

 Türk Telekom Arena will be hosting on 13 September 2013, an Turkey Super Lig match between Galatasaray and Antalyaspor.
Galatasaray team has made a slow start  in the Turkish Premier League this season. Even though the team hasn't lost in three games, it could only made one win at home over Gazientepspor,  and two draws away against the two teams: Bursaspor and Eskisehirspor. A match against Real Madrid in Instanbul in midweek would ensure that Galatasaray will, probably, not inlcude some of its good players. The team's policy in choosing which players to include is still a strange thing and that's why we see the slow start of the team.
Antalayspor, in much the same as Galatasaray, has made a slow start too this season, even though it made a win. The team has started the season with two draws 0-0 against the teams: Kayseri Ercispor and Gaziantepspor. But, its third match at home was a 2-1 win over  Bursaspor.

And player, Daniel Sturridge, has been ruled as has Dan Welbeck, after receiving a yellow in the midweek 4-0 stroll over Moldova. England's national team looks in a great form and it can be more dangerous even without some of its best players and that's because it still have many attacking options. Manager, Hodgson, should decide wether to stick with the underated Lambert, who scored 2 goals in 2 games, and who looks so great at the head of the attack.

Belarus does have many good quality players, though all the players know each other very well since they all play together at home or in Russia. Belarus team is containes young players, with only Alexander Hleb and Timofei Kalachev over 30. And the key man for Belarus is striker, Vitali Rodionov, who has a great strike rate. Belarus is ranked in the bottom of the group with 1 win, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
France, on the other hand, has made a draw with Georgia 0-0. This the fifth consecutive match without scoring for France and this makes the responsibles of the team worry about it. However, with the great squad the French team has now and with the French league really improving, the team is looking better. Though this is not the case in recent friendlies, where the French team played badly and it made 3 losses to Uruguay, Brazil and Germany and a draw with Belgium. And it scored only 1 goal only and conceded 6 others. Something is going wrong with the French national team, though the team has world class players like goal keeper in Lloris. The team's defence is solid with good attacking skills as well and the midfield containes a variety of players all at the top of their teams. Player, Franck Ribery, is in a good form and the strikers are of good quality with Benzema while Giroud seems to have stepped up his match.
