Liverpool Vs Fulham Football Highlights 2011
Liverpool Vs Fulham Football Highlights 2011: Liverpool beat Fulham by 1-0 in Anfield football stadium, England. This is their second consecutive victory after the new team manager Kenny Dalglish took the charge. 
With this fortuitous victory Liverpool moved up to seventh position in the Premier League table for the first time in their stuttering campaign.
The Fulham captain Mark Hughes had earlier delighted the supporters by bringing the ball into the Dee but Fulham’s John Pantsil made own goal soon after the break. It was the only goal of the match which was enough for Liverpool’s victory. Liverpool were expected to then dominate but the results were opposite to their expectations as Fulham looked the more offensive and disciplined side.
The captain of Liverpool side Steven Gerrard back after his three-match suspension but Raul Meireles was the most influential midfielder from Liverpool side.
In the first half of the match Raul Meireles passed ball to Fernando Torres, who gave pass to David Stockdale, but the assistant of referee had raised his flag for offside against the Spanish player incorrectly.
After this defeat Fulham, despite their woeful record of no victories at Anfield Football Stadium in 23 league matches, Fulham’s were not much worried about their bad performance and were playing happily against their direct hosts. Liverpool managed to maintain their place in the final Europa League spot.
Australia to resumes innings today at Lord’s
LORD’S: Australia will resume its second innings in the first test against Pakistan at Lords on Wednesday.
Mohammad Asif took three wickets in a dramatic burst either side of tea as Australia finished on 229 for nine when bad light forced an early close on the first day of the first Test against Pakistan at Lord”s here on Tuesday.
Asif took three wickets for no runs in seven balls on his way to a return of three for 53 in 17 overs.
Meanwhile teenage left-arm quick Mohammad Aamer, his new ball-partner, made the early inroads on his way to a haul of three for 66 in 18 overs.
Australia”s batsmen all struggled after Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi won the toss and elected to field in overcast, seam-bowler friendly, conditions.
Only left-handed opener Simon Katich, who made 80 but might have been lbw for two, had so far got past fifty although Michael Hussey was 39 not out, with Doug Bollinger unbeaten on nought, at stumps.
Asif struck with the last ball before tea when he had Clarke lbw for 47 to end a third-wicket stand worth 120 with Katich.
And nine balls after the break, Katich pushed uncertainly outside off-stump against Asif and was caught behind by wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal for 80.
Pak bowlers dominate first day as Aussies make 229-9
LONDON: Mohammad Asif took three wickets in a dramatic burst either side of tea as Australia finished on 229 for nine when bad light forced an early close on the first day of the first Test against Pakistan at Lord”s here on Tuesday.
Asif took three wickets for no runs in seven balls on his way to a return of three for 53 in 17 overs.
Meanwhile teenage left-arm quick Mohammad Aamer, his new ball-partner, made the early inroads on his way to a haul of three for 66 in 18 overs.
Australia”s batsmen all struggled after Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi won the toss and elected to field in overcast, seam-bowler friendly, conditions.
Only left-handed opener Simon Katich, who made 80 but might have been lbw for two, had so far got past fifty although Michael Hussey was 39 not out, with Doug Bollinger unbeaten on nought, at stumps.
Asif struck with the last ball before tea when he had Clarke lbw for 47 to end a third-wicket stand worth 120 with Katich.
And nine balls after the break, Katich pushed uncertainly outside off-stump against Asif and was caught behind by wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal for 80.
Katich, who has scored fifty in each of his last nine Tests, faced 138 balls with nine fours in more than three hours at the crease.
By contrast, three balls later, Marcus North, also a left-hander, was clean bowled between bat and pad by an Asif inswinger for nought.
Hussey pulled Kaneria for six to bring up the 200.
But Australia were 208 for seven after Test debutants Tim Paine (seven) and Steven Smith (one) fell cheaply to Umar Gul and leg-spinner Danish Kaneria respectively.
Pakistan, bidding for their first Test win over Australia in 15 years, saw Aamer, who starred in last week”s back-to-back wins over the Aussies at Edgbaston, strike first when he dismissed opener Shane Watson for four to leave Australia eight for one.
The 18-year-old had already had one close lbw decision against Katich, then on two, rejected when he rapped Watson, playing no stroke, on the pad.
English umpire Ian Gould turned down that appeal but next ball Watson again, curiously, padded up.
Gould was in the process of giving him out lbw when the ball trickled onto the stumps and dislodged a bail, meaning Watson was out bowled.
Watson”s exit brought Australia captain and star batsman Ricky Ponting to the crease in what could be the 35-year-old”s last Test at Lord”s.
Ponting, along with India”s Sachin Tendulkar and the West Indies” now retired Brian Lara, the other two outstanding batsmen of the last decade, had yet to make a Test century at the ”home of cricket”.
He had made 26 when he clipped Aamer firmly off his pads only for debutant Umar Amin to take an excellent catch at short-leg.
Dutch and Spain go into extra time at 0-0
JOHANNESBURG: The all-European World Cup final between Netherlands and Spain went into extra time on Sunday with the score level at 0-0 in a bruising encounter.
European champions Spain looked the more assured early on in the clash at Soccer City as a nervous-looking Dutch side ceded territory to their slick opponents.
Netherlands goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg was forced into a diving save after five minutes when Sergio Ramos headed a Xavi cross goalwards while Spain forward David Villa crashed a volley into the side netting with the goal looming.
However, a series of free kicks and bookings, including two strong challenges by Dutch midfield enforcers Nigel de Jong and Mark van Bommel, shook Spain out of their rhythm.
The Netherlands battling approach meant the Spanish were unable to reproduce the swift-passing possession football that got them to the final.
The Dutch offered little in attack and the nearest they came to a first-half goal was a bizarre incident after 38 minutes when Gregory van der Wiel attempted to give the ball back in an act of sportsmanship.
The fullback”s 60-metre punt bounced up and over Spain captain Iker Casillas, forcing the startled keeper to leap and tip it to safety.
The game continued in the same deadlocked vein after the break, with frequent stoppages and few chances, until Wesley Sneijder split the Spanish defence with a perfectly-weighted ball into the path of Arjen Robben after 62 minutes.
The winger bore down on Casillas and must have thought he had scored when he sent him the wrong way with a low shot but the keeper stuck out a leg and diverted the ball to safety.
Spain then began to take control, moving the ball forward more quickly and created two good chances.
First, a cross by lively substitute Jesus Navas reached Villa at the far post but his shot was blocked on the line, and then Ramos headed wildly over the bar from five metres out after being left unmarked at a corner.
Neither team has won the World Cup before though the Dutch are playing in their third final.

Relevance and continuity are two keys to Chick-fil-A’s past and future success, according to three generations of the chain’s founding Cathy family, who spoke to students Saturday at the annual Michael E. Hurst Educational Forum, sponsored by the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation.
Dan Cathy, the 1,500-unit chain’s president and chief operating officer, was joined by his father, Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy, and son, Andrew, human resources consultant, to discuss the importance of values in life and in business, and how the Cathy family is making sure those values stay intact with the changing times.
Dan Cathy noted that unlike public companies, where chief executives can turn over every five to seven years, privately held Chick-fil-A is able to perpetuate its core values to the benefit of the business.
“Continuity of principles and skill knowledge is important,” Dan Cathy said. “We get smarter with each generation.”
The traditional family unit is how we teach our values, he said, noting that his parents had three children, who in turn had 12 children. Andrew, 31, is the oldest of the third generation.
Aware that only 30 percent of businesses make it through the second generation, Andrew Cathy said that the family is currently establishing rules for successfully transitioning to future generations. Among one of the primary edicts: Family members must have at least two years of experience working somewhere else before joining the Atlanta-based company.
Truett Cathy, who at 89 years old is still working, said his most important guidelines for his progeny include no fighting about money, a continued promise to close the chain restaurants on Sundays and to never take the company public. He noted that Warren Buffett “camped on his doorstep for 10 years” hoping to acquire the company and finally gave up.
In terms of staying relevant, as consumers change and adapt to new technologies and social media functions, Dan Cathy pointed to the Spicy Chicken Sandwich the chain will roll out on June 7 and the marketing surrounding the item

I was just watching the Jimmy Kimmel Live! Q&A With the Cast of LOST online HERE (or below embedded after the break) and at the almost very end (the 10 minute, 30 second mark), Kimmel himself tells fans that the Blu-ray Disc release will include explanations such as why the young boy character “Walt” had magical powers and possibly such stuff as why the polar bears were on the island. That’s really all I can tell you right now but when Jimmy dropped the word Blu-ray with info regarding the secrets Okay, here’s the deal. Everybody died… eventually. They didn’t all die on the island. They didn’t all die at the age we see them at the end. Those that lived, like Kate and Sawyer, went on to have lives – who knows how long – and probably spent every day missing the ones they loved and lost to the island.
Others, like Jack, Sun, Jin, and Charlie died on/around/under the island.
The “flash sideways” timeline (as the writers called it) was a sort of purgatory for all their tormented dead souls. None of them could pass on into the light/heaven until they all found each other and remembered their experiences. They needed to come to terms with what happened on the island so their souls could attain the peace they needed to let go.

Gather reports that an Iranian Navy Fokker F27 turboprop reconnaissance plane hovered dangerously close to a US Navy ship for 20-minutes on April 21st. This incident apparently “has been kept on the down low from the American public” for safety reasons. Video after the break.
The Iranian aircraft came just too close for comfort for U.S. and military officials to the Dwight D. Eisenhower ship. It was within 1,000 yards of the naval ship!

England Win 1st Test Against Bangladesh
CHITTAGONG: Graeme Swann completed a maiden 10-wicket match-haul as England ended Bangladesh’s resistance with a 181-run victory in the opening Test on Tuesday.
Watch Live Cricket
Junaid Siddique hit a solid 106 for his maiden Test century and Mushfiqur Rahim an impressive 95 to frustrate the tourists before Bangladesh were bowled out for 331 on the fifth and final day, chasing an improbable 513-run target.
Off-spinner Swann, who took five wickets in the first innings, finished with 5-127 off 49 overs in the second.
England, denied success for more than two sessions by left-handed Siddique and wicket-keeper Rahim, heaved a sigh of relief when Swann removed both batsmen in his opening four overs after lunch.
Swann struck in his first over after the break when he had Siddique caught by Paul Collingwood in the slips before accounting for Rahim, who was bowled after he stepped out to drive the spinner and missed the line.
Rahim, who came in to bat after five wickets fell for 110 before the tea break on Monday, was involved in a 167-run stand for the sixth wicket with Siddique before missing out on his second Test hundred.
Siddique hit 17 fours in his 292-ball knock and Rahim 12 in a 232-ball innings.
Bangladesh’s innings lasted only 10 more overs after the dismissals of Siddique and Rahim, with paceman Stuart Broad and Tim Bresnan, and Swann sharing the last three wickets.
Siddique and Rahim kept the England attack at bay in the morning session with their determined knocks, helping their team add 86 to their overnight total of 191-5.
Skipper Alastair Cook took the new ball after 80 overs, but his pacemen Broad, Bresnan and debutant Steven Finn failed to unsettle the Bangladeshi pair.
Siddique, 68 not out on Monday, completed his hundred in style as he drove Finn through the covers for a four to reach 96 and then smashed the same bowler through mid-off for another boundary.
Rahim, who made 79 in the first innings, completed his second successive half-century early in the morning when he drove Finn through the covers for a four.

Siddique offered a difficult chance on 106 when he attempted to cut Swann, but wicketkeeper Matt Prior failed to hold on to it.
Cricket Edges Closer to Olympic Roster
VANCOUVER: Cricket was cleared to pursue its bid to be included in future Games after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) rubberstamped the sport’s recognition on Thursday.
Cricket, powerboating and sports climbing became the latest sports to be officially recognised by the IOC, a status necessary before launching a bid to become part of the Olympic programme.
“The session gave definite recognition to the three federations,” IOC spokesman Mark Adams told reporters.
The three sports can now bid to join the 2020 Olympics as the programme is always determined seven years in advance.
Golf and rugby were latest inclusions in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games when an IOC session voted them in last year.
The decision about new sports for the 2020 Games will be taken at the IOC session in Buenos Aires in 2013 where the host country will also be picked.
Cricket Edges Closer to Olympic Roster was first posted on February 12, 2010 at 6:45 pm.
