Spray of sunshine for Argentina’s Togel Primera División

Posted on by Nancy Rainey

 

 

When Argentina’s Primera División commences next month referees will be armed with a vanishing spray to keep defensive walls ten-yards back at free-kicks.

 

The aim is that refs will pace out the yards at dead-ball situations and spray a line on the ground to stop the defenders from encroaching on the set-piece taker.

 

The line on the pitch will then disappear within a minute without leaving a Togel lasting trace on the pitch. The scheme was successfully trialed in the second division last season and now the Argentina Football Association (AFA) has approved its use in the top flight.

 

The spray is contained in a 115 gram light weight aerosol can which means referees can carry it on them at all times. It is hoped that the scheme will speed play up by preventing the common disputes which crop up at dead-ball situations.

 

The AFA hopes the measure will put an end to the days of retaken free-kicks and needless bookings for walls creeping too close to the ball.

 

The invention is the brainchild of sports journalists Pablo Silva who first had the idea eight years ago when playing in an amateur league.

 

Silva’s team were 1-0 down when they got a free-kick on the edge of the box in the dying minutes of the match. When the kick was taken it crashed into the wall who had advanced to within three yards of the set-piece taker.

 

When the referee took no action despite a wave of protest the seedling of the idea had been planted in Silva’s head.

 

“We lost the game and, driving home later with a mixture of anger and bitterness, I thought that we must invent something to stop this.” Pablo Silva said

 

Silva also wondered if the problem was confined to football in Argentina or if the same thing happens all over the globe. He decided to undertake a study of behaviour at free-kicks in the professional game worldwide.

 

“We have observed more than 1,500 matches all over the world and we have studied how long it takes to take the free kick and how far the defensive wall moves forward.

 

“We have proved this is not just an Argentine problem, it happens everywhere.” Silva conceded.

 

He hopes that the spray he developed with chemical engineers will catch on all over …

ACL loss to Sepahan confirms Frontale’s season a bust for Bandar Togel Singapore

Posted on by Nancy Rainey

 

 

Kawasaki Frontale’s exit from the Asian Champions League earlier this week proved what many had feared about Takashi Sekizuka’s men over the last couple of weeks: they’re a spent force whose season has gone the way of a Britney Spears comeback.

 

Only time will tell how their freefall into irrelevancy in 2007 will affect Frontale in the foreseeable future, but there’s no denying that the team has suffered a major setback.

Frontale has improved in the league standings every year since finishing 7th in J2 in 2001, returning to J1 in 2005 before shocking all but the most optimistic supporters with their runner-up performance last season.

 

What a difference a year makes.

 

Currently in ninth place, Kawasaki sit 22 points and a prayer behind pacesetters Urawa Reds.

With nothing left to play for in the league, Sekizuka trained all his focus on progressing in the ACL. He rested the bulk of his first-choice Bandar Togel Singapore players, including Brazilians Juninho and Magnum, for Frontale’s Round 26 match with Kashiwa Reysol three days before Wednesday’s ACL clash with Iranian cup winners Sepahan.

 

The 4-0 loss to Reysol will hurt a lot more now than it did before the demoralizing defeat to Sepahan, who eked out a 5-4 penalty-shootout win after 210 minutes of scoreless football in the two-leg tie.

 

Despite outplaying their opponents in both legs, Frontale were unable to put the sword to Sepahan, the result of an impotent offense that Sekizuka says has dogged the team for two months.

 

“We’ve found it difficult to score since August, and it was the same today (Wednesday). We’ve got to figure out what the problem is and fix it so we can get our league campaign back on track,” Sekizuka said at the post-match press conference.

 

Frontale may very well be at rock bottom, having won only three of their last 15 league games and having salt rubbed in their wounds by rivals Urawa, who advanced to the ACL semifinals on Wednesday with a 2-0 win over Jeonbuk Motors of South Korea.

 

The disappointment of the last few months was clear for all to see on Wednesday, as a glum Sekizuka apologized for failing to take his team further in the continental championship.

“I am personally disappointed that I couldn’t meet the expectations of those in the J.League and Japanese football in …

It could only be Qatar it will only be Togel Online Doha

Posted on by Nancy Rainey

 

 

I was driving through the Welsh countryside when the news broke detailing the host nations for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup finals. Millions waited in nervous anticipation, as years of planning, investing and campaigning culminated in a single word on a piece of paper.

 

Before the FIFA president announced who would be staging the former event however, he offered confirmation that the word ‘England’ would not appear from inside the envelope. In what was a strange pre-announcement speech (even for Mr Blatter) he referred to England as the ‘homeland’ of football. I did not require video footage to interpret this rare show of placation, the clarity of which was in stark contrast to my car’s radio Togel Online reception. The World Cup was definitely not ‘going home’.

 

The suitability as a venue and the strength of the English bid was never in question, yet ironically such pedigree would prove their undoing. Had it not been for 1966, England fans might be reflecting on ‘eighty years of hurt’, but the country would have also been in a stronger position to host the 2018 event. I was genuinely pleased to hear the decision to take the tournament to Russia for the first time – after all, would you rather go to Plymouth or St Petersburg?

 

Blatter reiterated the importance of ‘growing the game’, and taking it to new frontiers. Finding new hosts and spreading the competition across the continents seems a sensible way of doing this. Russia therefore appear to be the ideal candidate. Sprawling across Asia with a notable presence in Europe and one eye on the Americas, the Russian Federation is impossible to overlook.

 

What surprised me however was the lack of response to Qatar being named hosts of 2022. Save for the Australians, few would question the choice of continent, particularly given FIFA’s expansive and rotational agenda – seven of the ten most populous countries in the world are in Asia – but as a nation of 1.6 million people, with a landmass half the size that of Wales, how exactly will the 148th biggest country in the world grow the game? Cynics may point out that in global terms, Moscow has more millionaires than any other city, and Qatar has the highest GDP per capita – yet we are led to believe these were not chiefly economic or political decisions, but …

Pie Will Domino Qq Survive

Posted on by Nancy Rainey

 

 

I’m a lover, not a fighter. My campness is not a result of liberal idealism; I’ve simply lost so many brawls that i’ve had pacifism thrust upon me. Nowadays, the only way i’d get involved in a ruck is if the wife was being mugged. If we stood together, I reckon we could take her.

 

Jose Mourinho and Roman Abramovich do not share my increasingly feminine outlook. War has broken out between manager and chairman, and l Domino Qq Chelsea’s title ambitions are the first confirmed casualty. The beleaguered Blues are still firing on all cylinders in the cups though; Nottingham Forest will be cut down at a scything 1/7.

 

Petr Cech is so concerned about the ongoing hostilities, he’s whipped out his helmet as a safeguard. With the inspirational keeper between the sticks and a revitalised Shevchenko leading the line, I’m quietly confident that the Blues will either win 3-0 or 4-0, a scenario which pays out at a more socially acceptable 3/1.

 

The normally placid Frank Lampard has reacted angrily to criticism from Joey Barton this week. I can’t help thinking that Frank should have just taken it on the chin; the second one. The Lamp is in fine fettle, he must be backed at a rotund 11/8 to find the net at any time.

 

If the fallout from the ‘Big Brother’ house has taught us anything, it’s that we must unite as a people. Let’s come together, right now, to back West Ham at 5/6 to see off Watford.

 

Wayne Rooney has admitted to knowing all the songs from ‘Oliver!’ off by heart. I’d have thought ‘Grease’ would have been more up his alley. They say an army marches on their stomach’; Rooney can lead his United troop to a victory over Portsmouth at 3/10.

 

Southampton look overpriced to cause a shock at Manchester City. The Saints are flying high in the Championship, Bradley Wright-Phillips is in goal scoring form and Pele is sure to make it hard for Psycho’s men. Man City are always the epitome of unpredictability, the Saints can march in at 4/1.

 

I don’t believe in déjà vu, although i’ve got a niggling feeling that I may have mentioned that once before. Birmingham face Reading in the 4th Round for the second year running; the Blues came out on top last time, at odds …

All eyes on Urawa for Bandar Togel Online

Posted on by Nancy Rainey

 

 

Round 30 of the J-League has thrown up some fascinating fixtures, but all eyes will be on a Urawa Reds side that takes on Nagoya Grampus Eight in a blockbuster at Saitama Stadium.

 

Urawa qualified for the final of the AFC Champions League in midweek, and Nagoya will be hoping to take advantage of any hangovers by putting one over the Reds in what is traditionally a hotly contested affair.

 

Sanfrecce Hiroshima kick off the weekend with what could be an ill-tempered clash against JEF United. Not only will Japan striker Hisato Sato come up against a team captained by his twin brother Yuto, but Hiroshima recently signed Bulgarian defender Ilian Stoyanov.

 

Stoyanov was sacked by JEF United for claiming that coach Amar Osim was “clueless” and would lead the Chiba outfit into the Second Division. Ironically it’s Hiroshima who could be destined for J2 – if they lose this match, they are in danger of being overtaken by a fast finishing Omiya Ardija.

 

In other highlight matches Kashiwa Reysol and Vissel Kobe will slug it out in a battle between two sides promoted from J2 last season, Omiya Ardija will be fighting for their lives away at a hapless Yokohama FC, Ventforet Kofu will be desperate to take all three points from Yokohama F. Marinos at home, there should be a near-capacity crowd at Nihondaira Stadium as fourth placed Shimizu S-Pulse take on second placed Gamba Osaka, and the Tama River Derby between FC Tokyo and Kawasaki Frontale will be another hotly anticipated affair.

 

Yokohama FC relegated in record time

 

Yokohama FC were relegated in record time, after their 3-0 loss away at Vissel Kobe in Round 29 condemned the port city strugglers to Second Division football next season.

 

Having picked up a meagre eleven league points, the fan-created club look certain to finish with the lowest points tally since the J-League introduced a single stage season in 2005.

 

Yokohama FC have lost an embarrassing eight matches in a row, and their last point came in a 1-1 draw with Gamba Osaka back in Round 21.

 

That run of losses has been overseen by Brazilian coach Julio Leal, who was brought in to replace the sacked Takuya Takagi, with Leal yet to pick up a single point in charge of the embattled club.

K-League In Bandarqq Crisis?

Posted on by Nancy Rainey

 

 

“C U @ K-League” read the famous banner unfurled by the Red Bandarqq Devils as South Korea finished in fourth place in the 2002 World Cup. The feel good factor generated by epic wins over Portugal, Italy and Spain continued into the start of the domestic season. K-League clubs enjoyed unprecedented popularity as crowds flocked to the new World Cup stadiums to watch their heroes in action.

 

Fast forward four years and Australia seems to be the new South Korea. The Socceroos’ performance in Germany was somewhat similar to Korea’s in 2002 and not just because of the presence of a certain Guus Hiddink. The passion, aggression, never-say-die attitude of the players and the sheer delight of the fans was enough to generate a few wistful expressions on Korean faces in June. The party is set to continue Down Under and football bosses are rubbing their hands in glee in anticipation of bumper attendances in the A-League’s second season in existence.

 

A few thousand kilometers to the north, the Korean equivalent of the Australian domestic competition is not looking quite so hale and hearty. The talk in the Korean media is of a “K-League in crisis”. The charge goes that the league is not of a sufficiently high standard to support a competitive national team with overly defensive teams, a lack of creativity, goals and excitement witnessed by a steadily decreasing number of fans.

 

The post-mortem started immediately after the Taeguk Warriors’ defeat at the hands of the Swiss on June 23. Dick Advocaat told reporters at the press conference that “the K-League has to improve if the national team is to be successful.” The St. Petersburg-bound Dutchman had a point but had already made plans – hardly designed to increase the strength of the league – to take two of the K-League’s biggest stars, Kim Dong-jin and Lee Ho, with him to Russia.

 

After World Cup exits, it is natural to look for reasons or excuses, especially if the departure comes at the first hurdle. Often the blame falls on the coach, players or referees and while, in this case, it may not be wide of the mark to question the domestic setup it should be kept in mind that there are no easy answers.

 

It should also be remembered that although the K-League is the oldest professional league in Asia, it …

Has the high stakes poker crown shifted to the internet?

 

Writing in the UK poker magazine Inside Poker this week, Alun Bowden asked some interesting questions about the future of high stakes poker and the development of the game on Internet nosebleed tables.

 

Following a week of particularly big pots and frenetic action on the high stakes tables at Full Tilt Poker.com it’s a timely examination of the phenomenon.

 

Bowden notes that five years ago The Big Game at the private Bobby’s Room at the Bellagio in Las Vegas was where the world’s richest cash games could be found, an exclusive and discreet venue that produced legendary poker action among the planet’s high rollers.

 

But, Bowden points out, “…walk into the Bellagio, anytime other than during the major festvials during 2009, and Bobby’s Room is likely to be empty. Instead, inside the gated communities around the outskirts of Las Vegas the high-stakes pros can be found playing online in games where pots of $500,000 are rapidly becoming commonplace.

 

“The highest stakes games in the world are being played Togel Online online, available for anyone to watch. The stakes are higher than ever in poker history and rapidly running out of control.”

WHAT THE HECK IS VIDEO POKER, ANYHOW?

Posted on by Nancy Rainey

 

 

To us the term video poker seems obvious enough, but for those newer to casino gambling, you might just be wondering “What the heck is video poker, anyhow?”

 

As the name implies video poker is a casino game that combines the skills of poker with video slot machine fun.

 

It’s a fast paced game that’s simple to learn, easy to play and offers the potential for big winnings.

 

While there are many elements of traditional poker involved in playing the game, the main difference is that when playing video poker, you are playing against the dealer exclusively (as opposed to playing against other players).

 

This means you have to consider strategy a little less, as you only have to worry about the dealer’s cards versus your own. There’s no bluffing involved either. It’s just your hand against the dealer’s hand, which means if you have a good hand and play your cards right, you can easily win.

 

Some of our more popular video poker games include Jacks or Better, Aces and Faces, and Joker Poker (to name but a few). They all offer fun themes and great graphics on your way to winning jackpots. To lean more, click here.

 

So if you’re a Titan Casino member and looking for something new, give our video poker games a go. If you haven’t created an account yet.

UNDERSTANDING PROBABILITY IN SLOT MACHINE GAMES WITH ONLINE CASINO SINGAPORE

Posted on by Nancy Rainey

 

 

Let’s be honest – when you’re playing slots at Titan Casino online, math and probability are probably the furthest things from your mind. You’re here to kick back, have a drink and enjoy the gaming experience, and possibly win the big jackpot at the slot machines.

 

But it’s probably worthwhile to stop and think for a second about how probability affects your slots results. Sure you want to have a nice leisurely time playing casino games, but you also don’t want to lose all your money in a hurry. If you take a moment to get a better understanding of slot machine games and the mathematical principles governing them, it might do you – and your real-money account balance some good.

 

What’s an Average Payout Anyway?

Typically, when you sit down to play at a slot machine, Singarepo casino online  either online or in a physical casino, the game advertises an average payout of 90-something percent. Most people glance at that number, note that it’s mighty close to 100, and that’s good enough for them. But what does it really mean?

 

Another, less euphemistic, way of putting it is that for every $1 you put into these slot machines, you’ll get 90-something cents back out. That said, it’s not a cut-and-dry equation – you don’t put in $100 and cash out $90 or so every time you play; we’re just talking overall probabilities. There’s variance in the game. Sometimes you get lucky and hit the big jackpot right away, sometimes you slowly build up to double your initial stake, and sometimes you hit a rough patch and nickel-and-dime yourself to a big loss. Whenever you gamble, you should be willing to accept losing. Don’t risk your money if you’re not prepared for a bad beat.

 

Finding Your Strategy

Every time you sit down to play a slot machine – for example, your favorite movie-themed slot game at Titan Casino – you should think about how much money you have and how far it’ll take you. Assess the size of your bankroll and ask yourself – how many spins will it buy?

 

Let’s take the example of a land-based casino where you’re playing nickel slot machines with $10 in change. Theoretically, if you bet all 200 nickels in your roll, you should come out with $9 or so on average, according to the math. …
