Egypt vs Algeria November 18 Live: An Egypt and Algeria Soccer Game is Exciting

Egypt vs. Algeria November 18 live is upon us.  The Egypt and Algeria soccer game is exciting for fans wishing to see the two Arabian-African countries compete.  The World Cup qualifier between Egypt and Algeria took place in Sudan.  The November 18 live match was so anticipated and represents such a strong rivalry that, according to BBC News, 15,000 Sudanese police were deployed to the soccer game to deter violence.

After the Egypt/Algerian tie, 32 people were hurt and businesses throughout Algiers were destroyed. After Saturday’s tie, a game was set up for today in the Sudanese capitol.

The head of the Algerian football federation told BBC that his Egyptian counterpart is to blame for all the anticipated violence.  He stated “He is the origin of all the events that occurred, including the barbaric aggression that injured… our players”

Of course, it takes two to tango.  What’s no surprise is that the World Cup qualifying match was highly anticipated by both sides. To play in the World Cup means that your soccer team is one of the best in the whole world.  The 2010 World Cup is special because it is the first event of this magnitude to ever take place on the African continent.

Who won the Egypt and Algeria Soccer Game live on November 18?  Algeria did.  They qualified for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa by beating Egypt 1-0.  The head of the Algerian football federation is probably sitting in his chair grinning and thinking about how karma got the best of his rival opponent Egypt.

Sammy Sosa Face Change: Did Sammy Sosa’s Face Really Change?

The Sammy Sosa face change is controversial. Sammy Sosa’s face change is really a skin change.  Did Sammy Sosa’s face change, or is everyone just overreacting?  I think it’s the latter.

You see, if Sammy Sosa’s face changed, it would have to be a change in facial features and not just the color of his skin.  I will admit that his skin is a lot lighter than it used to be, but maybe that’s just the way he wanted it.  After all, it is his face.

You have to give it to Sammy Sosa for addressing this so-called “face change” head on.  He was man enough to admit that the cause of the lighter skin was because of a cream he applied to his face.  He didn’t try to pass the lightening off as an illness.

Sammy Sosa turns 41 next week, and instead of talking about all of the amazing things he has accomplished in his career, we are talking about his face change.  I guess that is another similarity that Mr. Sosa has with the late “King of Pop” Michael Jackson.  Instead of focusing on the two men’s amazing accomplishments, we focus on the color of their skin.

Some things will never change. Ever since Sammy Sosa’s picture was published showing much lighter skin, it’s been everything everyone has been talking about.   He’s a very talented man, and it’s sad that the public at large isn’t looking beyond the face change to speak about Sammy Sosa’s talent.

Cameroon vs Morocco World Cup Finals live stream (video)

Eight spots remain for the 2010 World Cup finals and the qualifying games are played today, November 14 and also on November 18, 2009.  

Cameroon vs Morocco: Cameroon is the favorite here and they will qualify if they win away at Morocco. Morocco is in last place in the group and three of their best players have withdrawn because of injury. Morocco must win the match to have any chance of making it to the January World Cup Finals in Africa.  See a highlight video below of a previous Cameroon vs Morocco game.

Russia vs. Slovenia: Russia is the favorite here, and they unfortunately lost to Germany.  Slovenia’s strength is locking up the goal (they only allowed 4 goals in 10 qualifying matches).  The Russians have Andrei Arshavin, but Slovenia has a full squad going into this game.  The Russians are down Pavlyuchenko and Zhirkov, but still have a stronger team.

Greece vs. Ukraine: Greece is the favorite here, but both teams have incredible managers who know how to organize their players.  Each team relies on set-pieces and counterattacking to score.  The Ukraine just may win this one because of Andiry Shevchenko.

Costa Rica vs. Uruguay: Uruguay is the favorite here because of Diego Forlan was the European Golden Boot winner (he scored 32 goals in La Liga for Atletico Madrid).  The Ticos may have a home field advantage.

Portugal vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina: Bosnia and Herzegovina is the favorite here. Portugal is missing Cristiano Ronaldo, but Simao and Nani should be able to handle it his absence, but Portugal’s defending could be the biggest problem they face. 

France vs. Ireland: France is the favorite here and they did win the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000.  But the team has changed drastically since then.  Ireland is undefeated, but their four wins were against the two bottom teams.  Ireland’s best players Stephen Ireland and Andy Reid are not playing. 

Unknowns:  If Tunisia beats Mozambique they will qualify.  And Nigeria will qualify if they beat Kenya and Tunisia draws or loses.

There are a few live streaming sites where you can watch the games for free, but they can slow…and frustrating.  Sometimes they work well, depending on how many people are trying to watch them at the same time.  Sopcast requires the download of software before you can watch it.

Manny Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs) and Miguel Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs) are two of biggest-money making boxers in boxing today, and they have been compared to some of the boxing greats in the 1980s, including Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Roberto Duran and Tommy Hearns.

“He is coming from a lower weight division and if he thinks he’s going to have the same power as Miguel Cotto, his thinking is very wrong,” Cotto said at the press conference. “I am prepared for anything he can bring me that night. He has a lot of things besides speed. I have to be prepared for all that he can show me.”

Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach said that he will win by a “spectacular knockout,” but Pacquiao said that his objective is to do his best to uphold the pride of his country. “But if I knock him out, that will make me happy, too,” he said Wednesday.

There are a few live streaming sites where you can watch the fight for free, but they are slow…and frustrating.  Sopcast requires the download of software before you can watch it.  Later tonight, most likely the entire fight will be online, but all video of it will be removed by HBO before Sunday morning.

Sammy Sosa Face Before and After: After Sammy Sosa Bleached Face, You See He Was Much Darker Before

Sammy Sosa face before and after is hot. Sammy Sosa face before and after shows Sammy Sosa before and after he bleached his skin.  You heard me right – the aspiring Baseball-Hall-of-Famer admittedly bleached his skin.

Sammy Sosa applied a cream that was supposed to soften his skin.  Instead, it lightened his skin several shades.  The change of his face before and after spurned the internet rumor mill.  People started to wonder if Sammy Sosa was the next Michael Jackson.

You have to give it to the retired baseball player – he came right out and admitted what he did.  He didn’t blame his lightened complexion on an illness, and he didn’t ignore the fact that everyone was talking about his skin tone.  He admitted that he used a cream, and that the cream bleached his face.

I don’t understand why Sammy Sosa’s before and after pictures are so controversial.  Light skinned people do plenty of things to make their skin appear darker.  They lie in tanning beds and wear lotions that temporarily darken the skin.  However, whenever a darker skinned person lightens their skin, it’s a controversy.

Enough with the double standard already! Sammy Sosa’s face before and after has the same level of handsomeness.  He’s still a nice looking guy – he’s just a little lighter.

Brooke Hundley Interview: A Big Brooke Hundley Interview on “Good Morning America” Gives Insight to Steve Phillips Affair

The Brooke Hundley interview was today. The Brooke Hundley interview on “Good Morning America” was hot. Brooke Hundley’s interview gave insight about the Brooke Hundley/Steve Phillips affair scandal.

Brooke Hundley had a fatal-attraction-like relationship with Steve Phillips, a former baseball analyst for ESPN.  Since the affair with Brooke Hundley surfaced and was made public, Steve Phillips has not only been fired, but he lost his wife as well.

Prior to the Brooke Hundley interview, she was seen as a crazy lunatic.  After all, she delivered a hand-written letter to Steve Phillips’ wife containing personal information that would only be known if Brooke Hundley seen the man naked.  She stalked his teenage son on FaceBook, pretended to be a classmate, and obtained information about the family.

However, the Brooke Hundley interview tried to portray Brooke as the victim, instead of the lunatic other woman. Brooke Hundey wanted to make people feel sorry for her. She talked about how she was close to killing herself in the aftermath of the affair going public.

HELLLLOOOOO people…doesn’t Brooke Hundley’s interview admission that she thought about killing herself enough to prove that her mental condition wasn’t that great ?

Nonetheless, Brooke Hundley is still a person.  Even though she’s made a mistake, she’s been the center of many inappropriate jokes.  The Brooke Hundley interview is a reminder that there is more to the story than we will ever know.

Thunder Collins: Thunder Collins Behind Bars

Thunder Collins is making headlines. Thunder Collins was sentenced today. He is a former Nebraska Cornhuskers running back, and was convicted of attempted murder.

According to ESPN, Thunder Collins was convicted of first-degree murder back in August of this year. In addition to first degree murder, Collins was also convicted of attempted second degree murder, weapons charges, and felony assault.  The first degree murder charge means a mandatory life sentence for Thunder Collins.  The other charges could have gotten him another 130 years.

Thunder Collins was sentenced today.  He was sentenced to life in prison. He maintains his innocence and has a “never say die” attitude, saying he’d see the judge upon appeal.

He also told the judge that he wanted to be buried upside down so that his critics could kiss his A**.  He also maintains his innocence and thinks that he was convicted only because he was a “prominent” figure in the community.

Thunder Collins was the mastermind behind a planned drug deal in which Collins would rob the men.  One man was killed and another was left for dead.

Thunder Collins is no stranger to trouble with the law. He has pleaded guilty of disturbing the peace charges and has been acquitted of assault and burglary charges in a 2003 incident involving a domestic disturbance.

Sammy Sosa Bleached? Sammy Sosa Bleached Skin A Big Controversy

Sammy Sosa bleached? Sammy Sosa bleached skin rumors are circulating. Sammy Sosa’s skin looks bleached, is Sammy Sosa trying to look lighter or is Sammy Sosa’s bleached skin a side effect of an illness? Is the explanation to the lighter look none of the above? The answer may surprise you.

First off, as a Caucasian I don’t understand what the big deal is about Sammy Sosa’s bleached skin.  For decades, we have laid tanning beds to look darker.  We wear cream to make ourselves darker.  Why is it that when a dark-complected celebrity such as Sammy Sosa or Michael Jackson looks bleached, it’s a big deal?  Is this a double standard?

According to ESPN, Sammy Sosa admits that his bleached skin is a side effect of a facial cream he applies at night.  Sosa was secretive about the facial cream, stating only that it was purchased in Europe.  Sammy Sosa’s bleached skin doesn’t have anything to do with surgery, an illness, nor is it a side effect of steroid use.

Sammy Sosa contends that he is not racist, and lives his life happily. The facial cream was intended to soften his skin, the lightening is only a side effect.

Does Sammy Sosa’s bleached skin really matter? At least he’s man enough admit he used a face cream that bleached his skin.  He could have lied, shrugged it off, or not even addressed his bleached appearance.  After all, it’s really none of our business.
