An Insider's Look
Taking a realistic and practical view to life seems like the toughest job on the planet. For the youth of today who think along the lines of "Everything will work out"and tend to really lay back and shirk away from all semblance of responsibility and accountability. One of my very good friends has always told me that life has its share of evrything, good or bad. The tendency to always percieve things in either black or white has left a lot of people feeling guilty or worthless, essentially low on self esteem, The key is to always remeber the imminent shades of gray in between the black or the white. For the black and the white is black or white because the society decided so. I personally feel that every person ought to take a deep look into his life when one begins to doubt his/her own motives. As long as a person decides to accept that life will have its share of black & white and gray it becomes easier for anyone to centre him/herself and to take a calculated decision.

Italy and France
Italy & France.
The two teams who were last world cup's finalists crashed out of the world cup 2010. Some shoddy defensive play and lack of creativity in the midfield were the main reasons for the champions and runners up downfalls. France never settled into their groove and looked out of sorts in their first game against Uruguay although Frank Ribery and co. tried really hard to inject some life into proceedings it never really worked and France could only manage to scrape a draw against Uruguay. Even as Coach Raymond Domenech tried in vain to spur his team on they suffered a humiliating defeat against Mexico, Down and out Henry tried to take the onus of trying to take his side into the last 16, South Africa with lots of home support, kicked them out. Italy on the other hand never really got going poor tactical decision making cost the azzuris. Daniel De Rossi was trying a little too hard and Marcello Lippi backed his side, but a poor performance cost the azzuris and before Lippi could realise Italy had been sent packing. Pride dented, The Kiwis exposed a few chinks in the defensive play of Italy and Slovakia were thoroughly professional about it. Football lovers who have come to love the one touch fast and aggressive football will not have to watch a match and then feel bored and disinterested by the Azzuri way of football. Good for the game now that newer and lesser known teams now have realistic chance at glory. Great Game today though
