Ballon d'Or 2017:The Best Footballer of The Year Goes To....

The most awaited trophy of the year is about to see its owner in few months.This blog is about who can win this award this year.



Lionel Messi.Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar will be trying their luck for the Ballon d'Or this year.Both Ronaldo and Messi have been nominated 9 times for the finals where as it is only the second time for Neymar to be nominated after 2015.Interestingly both Ronaldo and Messi have won this award for four times,which is more than any player in the history of football.The power packed performance by the three players is the reason why they have reached the finals.Cristiano Ronaldo has played 36 games this season and scored 37 goals and also 7 assists.Messi has played 40 games this season and scored 39 goals with 9 assists.Whereas Neymar has played 33 games and scored 16 goals with 12 assists.Seeing at the numbers it seems that Neymar is almost out of contention for this award.The real fight is between Ronaldo and Messi.This award is decided by coaches,players and journalists and declared in France.This is the reason this award has been so fair over the years and each year invokes some suspense.
This year I believe that Cristiano Ronaldo will win this award.This is because he had a great role in the grand success of Real Madrid last season.In fact 2016-17 season was the greatest ever in the history of Real Madrid.In terms of goals also Ronaldo has a scoring average of  1.02 goals per match where as Messi has an average of 0.975 goals per match.Above all the impact that Ronaldo created last season was huge and bigger than any other player in the world.Though football is a team sport but these individual awards grab a lot of eyes.In fact this is the reason why Ronaldo has an edge over Messi because Real Madrid has performed better the Barcelona.
Finally Ballon d'Or will be awarded on December 6 and Cristiano Ronaldo must win his fifth
Ballon d'Or.

Ashes 2017:The clash of the Titans

The most awaited test series of the year,Ashes is back with Australia and England battling one more time.This blog about the team analysis of both the teams and who stands a better chance this time. This year's Ashes series is a very different contest all together.Both the teams have a bunch of new players and debutants.This makes the series even more interesting.Talking about the visitors i.e England,the whole batting line up revolves aroung two players Alaister Cook and Joe Root.The whole team is a lot more dependant on these two players.The top order of England having the likes of  Mark Stoneman,David Malan,James Vince is difficult to predict as these players don't have much experience.But the strength lies in the lower middle order of England where there is Moeen Ali,Jonny Bairstow.Both these players have a decent average of 35+.But it would be intersting to see how Moeen Ali plays in the fast and bouncy pitches of Australia.He got exposed to short balls when England ...

Lets compare both of them on different aspects-: 1.       Time periods :  When we compare the periods when these two played then they are extremely different.
