'Mission Impossible' said Tottenham boss Pochettino. And for neutrals and supporters alike, the idea of Tottenham beating Barcelona was as probable as Tottenham finally playing their games at their supposed next-gen home ground. Inter Milan were widely expected to beat PSV but Lozano and Co. had other ideas. In fact, until Icardi's goalmouth scramble, Milan looked to be set for a loss. On the other side of the world however Tottenham was ruing their missed sitters and after a draw, were left breathlessly watching the game in Italy. And a draw was enough. Like Tom Cruise reprising the role of Ethan Hunt, Harry Kane did what he did best and carried Tottenham to the knockout stages. Supposedly Lady Luck seems to prefer the Englishmen as even Liverpool were lucky enough to qualify by the skin of their teeth. Man Utd were a gone case..even Lady Luck couldn't favor them. Anfield saw Sadio Mane miss chances that even El Nino in his "prime" would have put to be...

As much as most people dislike or even hate Neymar they are willing to begrudgingly accept that after Messi and Ronaldo say their Adios! and Ciao! to the footballing world, Neymar is the next king. Sure Modric was awarded the player of the year, but everybody knows that this was one hell of a year for the Croat. Whether he can replicate the kind of match-winning contributions next year seems highly unlikely. Mbappe too had an amazing year. It's not every time you see a 19-year-old lift the World Cup, a trophy both Ronaldo and Messi have failed to get their grubby hands on. He is the most exciting teenager. Griezmann, you say? As Sergio Ramos said, not a chance.  So Neymar is the only player whose levels consistently match or are just below the 2 GOAT's of current football. At Barcelona, he was a game-changing player, which is something very hard to achieve considering Catalans have a roster of great players and one man starting with the letter M. Remember the time he s...

1. Another Week...Another environmental disaster Indonesia was hit by a recent double whammy of a 7.5 magnitude earthquake and its resulting Tsunami. Greatly affecting Sulawesi, Palu region of Indonesia the disaster has shredded the city to ruins and around 832 people are confirmed dead. The death could rise to over 1000 (although we are extensively praying it won't) as search and rescue teams desperately search for any survivors. Like the Haiti earthquake in 2010, the region's supplies have been hit and many have taken to looting for any form of food.  With around 17000 people rendered homeless and an estimated 2.4 million people affected by the Earthquake X Tsunami,  aid has been slow to reach the worst affected areas as roads and the airport are damaged. RIP. ( P.S. If you want to donate to the Indonesian people you can go  here , or just google and send it through any other site, or send to ( working on some kinks) us and we'll send it to them 100%) 2. EA r...

This list is in no particular order 1. Mercedes AMG Project One wearing zebra undies in the UK The flagship car of the Mercedes Group, the AMG Project One was caught pants down, roaring its way around German companies UK test site. Built to combat the increasing number of supercar/hypercar from its revenue hurting rivals, the Project One is set to slot one step above the AMG GT providing much better performance which naturally comes at a price. And even if you do have the money, you have to prove you have owned over 20 + Mercedes cars in your lifetime. Much selective, But we like. Other camo covered cars are the next-gen Audi R8 and the 600 + hp BMW X6 M. 2. God Of War get beaten by your friendly neighbourhood SpiderMan Sadly I don't live in New York. Nor have I been bitten by a spider. Nor do I have a PS4. But about 4.3 million people with PS4's ( obviously) have now become part of the Spidey Gang. 3.3 million copies sold in 3 days with another 1 million pre-orde...

1. Liverpool Liverpool has had a stunning renaissance of late, what with Jurgen Klopp finally establishing his gengenpressing and with Fenway Sports Group ( owners of Liverpool) finally buying great players. Mohammad Salah is a class act and Van Dijk is an expensive towering menace but has done his part solidly. While they failed to realistically challenge Man City for the EPL title, they have had an exciting run to the Champions League finals ( beating Man City in the process) only to horrendously lose against a decidedly lucky Real Madrid. You feel if it wasn't for Ramos and his cheap antics Liverpool wouldn't have lost both their star player and a decent goalkeeper on the same day. But Kopites must not feel disheartened, as Salah is alive and scoring, Alisson is an improved version of Karius and in Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri, they now have the depth to challenge on more than just one front. And the Fab Three haven't even hit their stride yet. This could be an...

'The Champiooooooonsssss!!!' A verse which uplifts the dour spirits of any football fan, the Champions League has been a staple of European football, so much so that even fans of teams who don't qualify, watch it with the sort of diligence or ethic many employers strive for. Truly it becomes a religious matter especially in the February- May period where the Knockout phase begins. Trying to turn off the TV for any fan watching the next goal is like trying to fight a hungry lion ( without a gun). You don't do it unless your dream is to pass away ( very painfully) as a human sacrifice.  This years tournament, however, is much more exciting than watching a typical Liverpool side capitulate against the now 3 in a row winner of  Real Madrid. With an exciting group stage and a seemingly large permutation of mouthwatering clashes between heavyweights in the knockout phases is leaving every fan breathless. Here are the teams to look out for : 1. Barcelona  Mes Que Un ...

A tale of two gargantuan clubs. A match more spicier than an extra spicy shawarma. Two of the richest, most successful clubs, in the world, perhaps the history of football ( or soccer if you must) colliding with a blatant 'Shoot-first-ask-questions-later-philosophy', the El Clasico is the epitome of footballing nirvana gracing the likes of both Ronaldo's, Ronaldinho's, Beckhams, Rivaldo's, Zidane's and several other first-class names which my brain has befuddled due to my awful physics test today. Still could be worse.  Like not having Ronaldo in your team...? Or maybe this a blessing in disguise. Real Madrid could be a wolf in a sheep's clothing, out to get little 'blue' riding hood trampled over by its lily-white teeth. Ronaldo, ever since he made the ex-world record move to the 'Royals', has always been in a sense Real's main player. A leader, without the captain's armband. A lethal goal-scoring machine who is like a forw...

MIZUNO "Runbird DNA" Pack Ah, Mizuno, the Japanese kings of the understated football boot. Mizuno is like the Aston Martin to the Ferrari's, Lamborghini's and Porsche's. It's the more nuanced player's boot. A player who really values high-quality leather and is a massive fan of the saying " Old is Gold". We kick-off with the Morelia Neo III Beta. Now, this boot is not for the Beta players. The Japanese just thought Beta was cool as the Neo III represents the latest iteration of the  Morelia brand. It's the lighter more hunkered down version. Think of it as the AMR version of a standard Aston Martin Source: SoccerBible The other boot in this pack is the O.G. Mizuno Morelia Zero. Basically the great-granddaddy of the Neo III Beta. Featuring a handcrafted K-Leather upper, never has Black/White/Red looked this good, even if you count in Adidas's Predator series.
