The Spanish club did not give any gifts to Chelsea tonight. So Chelsea has missed its two objectives in this month, after losing their final of the community shield against Manchester City, and the super Copa.

Iniesta has this facility to make things easy in touching the ball on the soccer field. It’s probably one of his good quality comparing to others players. This is a difference between the good players and the world class players. Contrary to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Andrés Iniesta got special honours list with his club as with his national team. Is it a surprised if he is distinguished as a real leader?

After being beaten 3-2 last week in the 1st leg in the camp Nou, Real Madrid won the Spanish supercopa 2^nd leg at the Santiago Bernabeu in beating Barcelona 2-1. So they won their first season titles. Criticized to be aggressive and always defend when they play against Barcelona, Madrid has impressed the viewers by developing a nice game and has really dominated its adversary; Barcelona was unrecognizable and unable to produce its game like they always do in keeping a ball. The Barcelona players felt weak tired and did not show any motivation to win. Honestly, Real Madrid deserved to win the game.

Gabon between Panik attacks

The arrival of the member of opposition leader, André Mba Obame after one year as an exile to overseas has been a cause of violent events last 15^th of August in Libreville. Where there are a lot of damages such as 7 cars burnt, 24 cars wasted, one garage “OILLYBIA” became burn and useless. After loosing presidential elections in 2009 by being the second just after the current president Ali Bongo Ondimba, he still claims a power and believes that he’s the one who won and the results have been changed. Facing that case, he does not feel like giving up and is rather ready to fight for that. This is the main reason why there are so damages in the Gabonese capital.

A situation where the Gabonese population does not feel secure, and at any moments something can happen. For relieving and assuring the people, the government had to react. According to the public prosecutor, the so-called André Mba Obame and his actors are going to be arrested by the Gabonese justice. Actually, he does just threaten and the law will follow. Let’s hope that justice will be done against those unreasonable and sordid acts held in the country which live in peace. 

                                                                                                                           Andre Mba Obame

Todd Akin ; slippage

On Sunday, Todd Akin, the elected republican candidate, from Missouri has affirmed that when a women is a victim of a “true rap”, she’s rarely fall in pregnant. A subject which has scandalised the public opinion concerning the rap and abortion is the cause of a disappointment towards the candidate’s personality and maintains his candidature to a senate where people are complaining about his retirement.

Rick Ross God Forgives I Don’t; too weak but successful

 

A Rozay’s fan like me was expecting for more nice songs from his fifth album. Comparing to others previous albums, the new Rick Ross‘s album “God Forgives I Don’t” is a big disappointment. It’s unbelievable but it’s true. Even the mix tape “Rich Forever” which announced the venue of the album is more aggressive and convincing with such tracks like Stay Schemin, Ring Ring, Mines Games, and Hustler hard… but contrary to that, God Forgive I Don’t is so simple for an album which has been postponed many times for different reasons such as his health. The result of this product was supposed to be loud, noisy. But no, this time it’s not a case. It’s like Rozay is maintaining a level because of the competition. We should also acknowledge that he puts the level too high and actually he’s one of the best rapper in the Game. In spite the critics, this contested album has been sold 225000 copies the first week, the best Rick Ross record in his career. This is a truly contradictory of what we thing concerning his album. 

If you have some suggestions or encouragement concerning the artists, his album, please leave your comment. Thanks

Ballon d’or; the three favourites

Andres Iniesta, Christiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi?

Who is going to be the winner?

UEFA has published a list of the three players who will be the best players in Europe for this season 2011 -2012. But there is no surprises to see them in the final list. After having had an unbelievable season, the choice will not be easy in the 30^th of August in Monaco.

                                                             Iniesta is actually one of the best soccer players of the world. His way to touch and conserve a ball with facility makes him so special. Added to his influence, vision to organise a game; Iniesta is a genius. It’s true that he doesn't get enough recognition being in the same club side as Messi. But the difference between them is that Iniesta is persistent with Barcelona and with his national team Spain. And among the three nominates, he’s the most distinguished with honours list and a great convincing presence and persistence since 2008 where he does not disappoint fans. Winner of the recent Euro with Spain and being the best player of a tournament, this award can have an influence in Monaco. If it’s not a case we can say that Soccer is thankless. 

 

Messi is the best soccer player in the world. After winning the Ballon d’or three times consecutively, 2009-2010-2011, he joins Michel Platini the actual president of the UEFA. So he will try to enter in the legend. But sometimes victims of critics with his national team Argentina, where he is inefficient, and does make people dreaming like with Barcelona. His short, strong legs allow him to excel in short bursts of acceleration and his quick feet allow him to keep control of the ball when dribbling at speed, it’s a result of an exceptional season in scoring 73 goals in all competitions, this record can make him a favourite for a Ballon d’or. 

The 2008 Ballon d’or winner with his previous club Manchester United, Ronaldo won all the competitions with his club. Facing a challenge, he came in Madrid in June 2009, for the season 2010; he scores 26 goals in 29 matches, then 50 goals in 51 matches with Real Madrid in 2010, sudden he beats a club record. But in scoring 46 goals in La Liga the next season, he’s beaten by Messi. The Portuguese is a main reason of the La liga title given to Real Madrid, he has led his country to the semi final of the Euro 2012, even if they lose in the penalties against Spain, he did not disappoint all the viewers. His goal scored against Barcelona in giving his club a victory can be an advantage for this award.

National Hero

               National Hero

11^th August 2012, whatever what happens, this date will stay in the Gabonese sport history. Taekwondo fighter Anthony Obame made history as he won Gabon’s first ever medal in the Olympic Games. Anthony Obame celebrates winning Gabon’s first Olympic medal. The heavyweight taekwondo expert took the silver medal after losing out on the top spot to Italy’s Carlo Molfetta. Obame had looked the favourite to win the match as he led 9-6 with less than 30 seconds on the clock.

However, Molfetta then caught him with a three-point head kick which took the match to sudden death. The golden score round also failed to find a winner and the gold was eventually decided by the judges’ scorecards. Any disappointment at not winning gold was soon forgotten as the West African nation celebrated their first medal, with President Ali Bongo calling to personally congratulate Obame. ‘I think it’s a good start for us. We have to try to get more medals in the future,’ the sportsman said. ‘For now it’s just me, but I hope that other people from Gabon will win medals at other Olympic Games and have the same success as me. ‘I tried to go for the gold, but he was more experienced than me. He is the 2010 European champion. I hope to come back in the future and do better.’

So close to gold
Molfetta may be the new champion but there is no doubt it was Obame who touched the hearts of everyone inside the ExCel Arena. And he could not have come any closer to winning the gold medal.Leading 9-6 with little time left he seemed to be overcome by nerves and stopped attacking.
Molfetta caught him with a three-point kick to the head to level up the scores and was then the more aggressive during the extra period of golden point.

Unlikely run to the final
Yet Obame's achievement was still much the greater. His unlikely run to the final began with a 7-2 defeat of Samoa's Kaino Thomsen-Fuataga in the first round. And after drawing 6-6 with Robelis Despaigne of Cuba he snatched the victory with a golden.

In the semi-final he stunned Tanrikulu with a last-second kick for a narrow 3-2 win. He trailed Tanrikulu, the silver medallist in Athens eight years ago, by two points at the end of the first round but a point in the second and another in the third levelled matters before his last-gasp winning kick.

Youthful error
Although he made history, Obame felt he should have had the gold. "I'm relieved because not all competitors got a medal and I really wanted to come back [to Gabon] with a medal but not any medal, a gold medal," he said. "But I couldn't manage that against a very experienced Italian. He had me on a youthful error but I hope to come back stronger next time."

Obame was most frustrated at failing to hold onto his lead late in the third and final round. "It was at this very moment that he seized his opportunities because I was already imagining myself as a gold medallist. I think I was dreaming because I was leading and I got caught. It's true I didn't lose on points but on a judge’s decision. That cost me dearly. If I'd have kept the scoring and tempo from the beginning it would have been me the Olympic champion." 

Eager to go home
Even so, the 23-year-old said he was eager to go home and see what reception he gets.
"I realise what I've done, I admit it. But to be honest it hasn't sunk in yet because I'm not in my country and I'm surrounded by athletes and people congratulating me. It's often like that but maybe not with the same energy. It's often been like that but we'll see when I get back."
