Dempo Sports club made history by becoming the first Indian club to make the semi-finals of the AFC Cup, but Dempo have one last chance to take a good shot at a bigger slice of history. The Goan giants take on Lebanese side Safa in the second leg of their AFC Cup semi-final at Gachibowli Stadium, Hyderabad on Tuesday, and coach Armando Colaco admits that their last 1-0 defeat to the Lebanon side will not have any impact on the players.
Amando colaco said, We watched the videos of their matches, they are a good side. We have played them earlier and I know that if the players play to their potential then we will definitely win the match, For all practical purposes, Dempo have a fair shot at going one step further, as playing the home leg second has always been an advantage in home-and-away formats.
The players are gearing up for the match tomorrow and they just want to prove a point. They are focused and if score an early goal then we have a chance to make it to the finals. Though we lost the first leg but the players are not demoralized, Colaco added. Injury is a cause of concern for Dempo coach as striker Ranty Martins and mid-fielder Roberto Mendes Silva are likely to take the field as substitute.
Dempos line up seems to be a strong one with India defender Mahesh Gawli leads a well-knit back-four that includes the impressive Samir Naik, while left-winger Nicolau Borges is one of the most exciting players in the I-League. With a defeat in back of his mind Armando Colaco says that there will be a few changes as far as their strategy and formation goes.

Is this right to protest with nacked poster in olympic

The seven time medalist in swimming Ms. Amanda Beard is also an animal lover. This is good, but She made a protest by holding her naked poster for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) outside the main road of the Beijing Olympic Village to voice her no-animal-skin is not fair. because, atleast sports place we should not protest like this. This is cheap to gain popularity. there is also many other way to protest.
The Chinese authorities did their best to limit the impact of her protest, shutting down a press conference which PETA had planned on the terrace of a hotel overlooking the ‘Water Cube’ Olympic swimming venue.
After police turned organisers away from the hotel citing ’safety concerns’, Ms Beard was forced to present her message from the side of the main road outside the Athlete’s Village.
Swimmer Beard, said she had no intention of upsetting the Chinese authorities, but wanted to convey her anti-fur message in China which is the world’s leading fur exporter.

Swimmer Amnda loves playing wii

Odds are you know dick about swimming. And that’s OK. It ranks somewhere between timber sports and cricket on the American sports passion meter. But you probably know Amanda Beard. The seven-time medalist has transcended the two-week focus on aquatic racing that rolls into the world consciousness every four years. It doesn’t hurt that she’s been on the cover of FHM, Playboy and featured in Sports Illustrated’s iconic swimsuit issue. Beard has snagged another cover, only this time she’s gracing the frontside Beijing 2008, from Sega. As it turns out, she’s actually a gamer herself.
Amanda says, I love playing the Wii. We do it at parties and stuff. I make people bring it over so we can play bowling and tennis and stuff. I haven’t tried the Mario and Sonic Olympic Games yet, but it sounds right up my alley–a little bit of old school with a little bit of new school. Perfect.
According to Amanda, Swimming is really hard in the game. The first couple of times I played I was really bad. I spent an hour and a half on the game because I couldn’t walk away without
