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.

Can Indian Hockey bring back its golden days?

The national game of India has been out of color for past few years.The big question is can hockey (Indian mens hockey)bring back its golden days in India. Hockey is a game in which India has dominated in the past. In fact India holds the record of maximum number of gold medals in the game of hockey.The days of Dhyan Chand were absolutely golden for India as India has no match at that time.India has won a staggering 11 olympic medals including 8 gold,1silver and 2 bronze medals.But after 1980 things have not been good for Indian hockey and after 2000 India has been facing problems in even qualifying for the Olympics. The major reason for this drop is the change of rules.Hockey earlier was played on plain grounds.But after the introduction of Astro Turf grounds,the game becoming fast,Dominance of European countries in the administration made things worse for India.Not only did Indian hockey lost tournaments but it also lost its popularity from India.Another big reason for this...

The hot Question since past three years is Who is a better player Sachin or Virat?                              Sachin Tendulkar                                                        Virat Kohli Well its not easy to compare two people of two different generations but it still can be done because of the fact that both of them have played with each other for good 3-4 years. 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.
