John Terry, my favorite defender

John Terry has been my favorite defender of all time. According to me, he is a complete package of a defender. Starting right from his crucial clearances to the world class headers in set pieces. His legendary performances have always inspired me to play in defense using life and soul.
John Terry had a great season until the champions league semi final send-off. He did apologize, which was a great gesture in the following match after the mistake that happened.
He too made his share of mistakes. The 5-3 dreadful defeat against Arsenal at home and the 4-1 away defeat from Liverpool, questioned John Terry's class and form. But that was not it, he covered all that up by performing great in the previous and following matches. Everytime the goal keeper was not there, Terry was the backup. He "saved" goals which actually saved the dignity of Chelsea against many teams.
John Terry's selection at Euro is justified for sure. His effect in the defense is notable in all matches, though the Blues Back hasn't scored yet. When John Terry was slipped off his captaincy 'cuz of some random racist claims by Anton Ferdinand, the former skipper didn't lose his cool and has taken his National team to the semi final.

“The reason we are doing so well is because everyone is pulling in the right direction and leading by example.
John Terry has been a big part if that. His performances have been superb and we’ll certainly need another against Italy – that’s for sure.”

-Steven Gerrard

'I can only talk about John and the four or five weeks I have been working with him.
'He has been a top-class professional and very good off the field as well.'

-Roy Hodgson (Coach, England)

Reasons why I prefer android over iOS

There has been a lot of debate in the world of technology, since the launch of iOS 6, on whether Android can keep up with it. Eventhough Apple has come up with tons of new features, including the "i know it all" Siri, I prefer Android Ice Cream Sandwich more.

Customization:
iOS sucks at this. The way in which an iOS based device can be customized is changing the wallpaper, or creating custom folder. Android on the other hand offers plethora of widgets and awesome launcher replacement tools like GO Launcher, ADW Launcher and my favorite SPB Shell 3D. Even the locker can be customized in Android

Multi-tasking:
Yes, Apple has been trying to incorporate multi-tasking since a long time, but till now this feature is not so impressive. The Android Ice Cream Sandwich is awesome. Especially, the list of apps you get when calling the recent menu. Its quick and does full justice to the title of this comparison.

Flash Support:
Its not only Youtube that uses flash. There are many websites which use flash to display interactive content. Bringing HTML5 full support in Safari is good enough, but flash is flash. We don't have so advance HTML5 applications developed yet.

Developer Tools: 
Android lets you interact with the system at its deepest. You can customize any kind of system file you want. The android developer tools are more well featured than the Apple counterpart. Hell, you can even change the boot screen like Windows on Android. The open source nature of Android gives a lot of freedom to all the developers out there.

Yes, Android doesn't have so many apps pre-loaded in the system. But all the utility counterparts of Apple are available on Google Play. And the best part is most of them are free.

Why Goal line technology is a necessity?

Ohkay now, that's enough. UEFA and FIFA have made every possible solution to the ghost goal problem, but there seems to be no other choice than to implement the goal line technology.

Such blunder happened in FIFA World Cup 2012, when Frank Lampard's shot from distance bounced inside the goal, but was dis allowed. There has been much noise about goal line technology since this incident.
Similar thing happened at the White Hart Lane during the semi finals of the FA Cup in 2012. Where, celebration of Juan Mata "gifted" Chelsea a goal from Rowan Atkinson.

Till the technology develops, UEFA appointed two referees at two goals, so as to avoid this problem. But the match of 20th June 2012, John Terry's hectic clearance confused the goal-referee, and was not able to make the correct decision. Though we find that, the striker was offside when receiving the ball, but that was not a case as it wasn't lifted by the assistant at all.

In both cases, it was England who were affected, and happened in a major tournament. In the World Cup, fate was against them, and in EURO 2012, it was with them.

Messi vs Ronaldo

Messi comes with a complete package for a centre forward. Hes quick, and is able to move past/around defenders without using funky moves. Though the little magician slipped a few times in set pieces and in front of Petr Cech, theres much good to cancel that bad. His shot accuracy figures without set pieces have always been impressive.
My vote goes to Ronaldo also because, he has shown a lot of consistency this season. He has become a more stable player over the last few months with Real Madrid, and washed all his sins away of misses in Euro 2012 by getting Portugal beyond the group of death. This might eventually also get Portugal to semis to face most favorited team Spain.
In the end, its pretty hard to decide which one is better. That is why we got a good jury for Ballon d'or
