Wayne Rooney picks: Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo

Former Manchester United and Everton striker Wayne Rooney has had a gala time playing in the English Premier League, scoring some phenomenal goals and breaking records with the Red Devils in the English top-flight. During his 13-year stay at Old Trafford, Rooney rubbed shoulders with some of the biggest stars of that time and one of those was Cristiano Ronaldo. Currently plying his trade at DC United in the Major League Soccer (USA), Rooney dwelled onto the neverending Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi debate and ended up picking ‘the greatest of all time’.

Ronaldo left Manchester United in 2009 to join Real Madrid in a then record-breaking deal and over the course of 9 years, he established himself as one of the two best players in the world, if not the absolute best, alongside Messi. Winning 4 UEFA Champions League trophies (including a hat-trick of titles from 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18), Ronaldo broke numerous records both domestically and in Europe before moving to Juventus in the summer of 2018.

While the 33-year-old’s attacking prowess still remains an envious trait to many forwards in the world football, only one man has been able to stand neck-to-neck with him and he is none other than the Barcelona superstar Messi.

For Rooney, who himself is the record goalscorer for Manchester United with 253 career goals for the Red Devils, puts the Argentine ahead of the Portuguese as his ‘greatest of all time’. Having had the opportunity to play against Messi in the 2009 and 2011 Champions League finals, Rooney didn’t shy away from heaping praise on his counterpart admitting that Messi was what separated the two sides in the title-decider.

“In both games (Champions League finals) if we had been against any other team but Barcelona you would have fancied us to win,” said the former Man Utd captain. “In my eyes they are the best team ever and Messi is the best player ever. What he gets to do is incredible. Messi has just got a bit of everything.”

Speaking about his former teammate Ronaldo, Rooney hailed the way he has developed from being a winger during the Manchester United days to becoming a fearsome striker. “Ronaldo has gone from a winger to a striker and a goalscorer. Rather than taking players on all the time, he has gone more one or two touch, getting in the box and scoring goals,” said the Englishman.

Drawing differences between the two modern football superstars, Rooney said that what separates them is the fact that Messi is more versatile and can play different roles while Ronaldo is only a goalscorer.

“Messi a bit of everything – you see him scoring goals from playing probably a deep midfield role at times, and where I’m probably still walking on the pitch he’s scoring. So he is probably the best,” concluded Rooney.

Amazon continue streaming Thursday night NFL games in 2018

Amazon continue streaming Thursday night NFL games in 2018

Amazon and the National Football League have once again reached a deal to allow Prime members to stream Thursday Night Football games for the next two seasons. Facebook, Twitter and Google’s YouTube had also expressed interest in carrying the games this year.

Amazon is paying around $50 million for the 10 games it will show next fall, according to a person familiar with the deal. That’s a big increase from the $10 million Twitter paid for last year’s games.

This is the second year Amazon has won a contract with the NFL, reportedly paying $50 million to stream the ten Thursday night games last season, beating out Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. In 2016, Twitter reportedly paid $10 million for the same rights.

Amazon acquired the “Thursday Night Football” global digital rights in 2017, after Twitter had those the year prior. Last year, Prime Video’s live-streaming of NFL “Thursday Night Football” games drew more than 18 million total viewers over the 11 games. Although NFLGames2018Updates.Com find out how you can stream complete NFL season games free or paid.

“Our customers love to stream football,” said Jeff Blackburn, SVP of business development and entertainment at Amazon. “We’re thrilled to continue our relationship with the NFL and offer Prime members another two seasons of ‘Thursday Night Football.’”

It’s unclear what benefit streaming the games actually provides for a digital platform. Last year, both Twitter and the NFL said they were pleased with the results of the experiment, but the games didn’t generate a huge audience: They averaged less than 300,000 viewers per minute, while CBS and NBC averaged 15.8 million viewers.

As for the Thursday slate, here’s the entire Amazon streaming schedule.

  • Week 4, Sept. 27: Vikings at Rams, 8:20 p.m, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon
  • Week 5, Oct. 4: Colts at Patriots, 8:20 p.m, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon
  • Week 6, Oct. 11: Eagles at Giants, 8:20 p.m, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon
  • Week 7, Oct. 18: Broncos at Cardinals, 8:20 p.m, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon
  • Week 8, Oct. 25: Dolphins at Texans, 8:20 p.m, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon
  • Week 9, Nov. 1: Raiders at 49ers, 8:20 p.m, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon
  • Week 10, Nov. 8: Panthers at Steelers, 8:20 p.m, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon
  • Week 11, Nov. 15: Packers at Seahawks, 8:20 p.m, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon
  • Week 13, Nov. 29: Saints at Cowboys, 8:20 p.m, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon
  • Week 14, Dec. 6: Jaguars at Titans, 8:20 p.m, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon
  • Week 15, Dec. 13: Chargers at Chiefs, 8:20 p.m, FOX/NFL Network/Amazon

This post has been updated to reflect that Amazon confirmed to CNBC that users will be able to watch Thursday Night Football 2018 live stream on Twitch for free.

What is the prize money for winning the Tour de France?

What is the prize money for winning the Tour de France?

Tour de France 2018 prize money: How much will riders and teams earn in cash and WorldTour points? The Tour de France may be one of the toughest endurance events an athlete can take part in, but when it comes to collecting their prize money after three weeks in the saddle riders are reminded of just how tough the sport really is. When Andy Murray won the men’s singles at Wimbledon last summer, he pocketed £2 million for just 15 hours and 52 minutes play, or around £125,000 an hour. By contrast, the winner at this year’s Tour will earn €500,000, or around £438,755, for cycling 3,540 kilometres (2,200 miles) over a gruelling three-week period. When you consider that tradition dictates the winner hands over his earnings to team-mates in recognition of their hard work, you start to understand what winning the iconic yellow jersey really means. The total pot of prize money handed out at this year’s Tour is worth €2,280,950 and while the eventual winner takes the lion’s share, there are plenty of other ways of earning a few extra euros.

Silverstone Circuit: Disappointing rather than a thrill

Posted by | Categories Tours & Travel

Disappointing rather than a thrill

I visited Silverstone on the 01/07/17 for the Single Seater Thrill British Grand Prix live experience. Upon arrival it was clear as to where to go and the facilities seemed clean and well thought out. The briefing from the chief instructor was clear and entertaining which made me think that the experience out on track would be equally entertaining.

In regards to the actual on track experience it wasn’t made clear until you arrive at the track that you are not actually driving on the main Sivlerstone circuit but rather a test track tucked away at the rear of the circuit. When leaving the pits I found it very disappointing, you start by following a pace car in groups of 3/4 single setters, but because they have 3 groups each following their own pace car you never really get past 30mph for the first 10 minutes of track time and usually a lot less speed.

After 10 minutes the pace car pulls in but because you have 10 race cars driving around a relatively small circuit its difficult to get more than one quick lap in as you are limited to overtaking on the straight.
In summary if you want to race on a real circuit with plenty of space and pace then try Donington Park.

Your Day

  • Welcome reception and introduction to Silverstone
  • Drive workshop tour
  • Race control visit
  • Winners’ podium photo opportunity
  • Guided tour of the Grand Prix circuit**
  • Opportunity to purchase Silverstone official merchandise

The AELTC are setting up Wimbledon Broadcasting Services

Posted by | Categories Sports

the-aeltc-are-setting-up-wimbledon-broadcasting-services

Wimbledon will take over from the BBC next year as host broadcaster of their own tournament as part of the changing media landscape. The BBC and the All England Club today announced a four-year extension to their broadcast partnership, giving the BBC the domestic rights to broadcast The Championships, Wimbledon up to 2024. That’s mean you can watch Wimbledon 2018 live stream at BBC or BBC iPlayer.

The All England Club are setting up Wimbledon Broadcasting Services (WBS), who will have control of all TV cameras for the first time. This will suit perfectly the private members club, who can now dictate what is shown on screen rather than having to argue occasionally with the Beeb about controversial moments.

As part of the new agreement, the BBC and the AELTC will collaborate on the production of the host broadcast from 2018, with the BBC concentrating on the domestic output, while the AELTC will take responsibility for providing a best-in-class service to its global media partners and continuing the great work done here by the BBC.

The All England Club will be more in tune with worldwide interest in what they broadcast. The BBC will still work closely with them on domestic output, but without their previous power. The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) has outlined plans to take over from the BBC as the host broadcaster of its own annual Grand Slam tournament at Wimbledon.

Starting from the 2018 edition of the competition, Wimbledon Broadcasting Services (WBS) will have full control over the TV cameras and broadcast output worldwide. The BBC will still retain the exclusive live broadcast rights to Wimbledon in the UK while no longer shouldering the burden of the production costs. The BBC will continue to work closely with WBS on their domestic coverage, but final decisions will now lie with representatives from the AELTC who can tailor the content to a global audience.

Paul Davies, the former lead executive producer at the BBC who joined the AELTC in 2015, is expected to head up the new division. The decision follows the example set by Tennis Australia, which brought its own TV production for the Australian Open in-house in 2015, and is reflective of trends across the sport industry with rights holders increasingly looking to take greater control over their own content.

Operating as its own host broadcaster will allow the AELTC to do much more with its growing digital platforms, though live coverage of matches will be limited thanks to existing long-term exclusive broadcasting deals. Currently, through its website and app, Wimbledon offers an augmented reality (AR) experience which allows fans to watch the practice courts, usually closed to public viewing.

The 2017 edition of the Championships, Wimbledon closed on Sunday, with Roger Federer winning a record eighth title in the men’s singles. The previous day, Spanish star and SportsPro most marketable athlete Garbiñe Muguruza claimed her first Wimbledon title, beating Venus Williams in straight sets.

AT&T’s Will Offer Soon $15/month for cord-cutters

AT&T's Will Offer Soon $15/month for cord-cutters

If you like the concept of cable however don’t care about sports, AT&T’s upcoming streaming service might be for you. The agency will soon release a brand new $15/month subscription supposed to appeal to cord-cutters who do not need sports activities channels. The provider will likewise be free for AT&T’s wireless customers who have a boundless data plan.

Known as “AT&T Watch,” the new service become uncovered by CEO Randall Stephenson Thursday during testimony in AT&T’s antitrust trial.

As indicated by CNN, Watch will consist of a variety of cable channels and is meant to “encourage mobile TV viewing.” it is no longer recognized what number of channels are a part of the package, but AT&T’s decision to omit sports is what lets in it to rate the package deal at simply $15 a month — far lower than even the maximum simple cable programs.

The company plans to launch the service within “the next several weeks.” That will be very much helpful for French Open 2018 live online viewers for streaming favorite players using AT&T.

AT&T’s mobile subscribers may want to stand to benefit the maximum from the brand new provider, though, as it may be unfastened for humans with limitless records plans and discounted for different subscribers. The addition of loose cable channels — depending on what they’re — should clearly make AT&T’s high-priced facts plans a barely greater appealing option.

Nevertheless, video streaming is a statistics-in depth commercial enterprise. And it is important to keep in mind that AT&T is notoriously shady with its statistics plans. Even when you have an “limitless” plan, the agency will throttle you when you cross over 22GB a month. what is greater, it turns on a “movement saver’ feature through default, which limits streaming video to handiest 480p until you switch off the feature.

however in case you have already got unlimited data plan, or you are k with looking most of your video over Wi-Fi, AT&T Watch ought to nevertheless be an clean way to get some cable channels at no extra price.

Speech of Martin Luther King “I Have a Dream”

Posted by | Categories Arts & Entertainments

I Have a Dream

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its various racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the word of ‘interposition’ and ‘nullification’, that one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough place will be made plain, and the crooked place will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

This is our hope. This is the faith that i will go back to South with.

With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.

With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day…..

And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania…..

Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

The End

Hello guys how it is? Really cool! I have a dream also How can i watch The “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” Indy 500 Live Stream 2018 Online ? Feel free to comments bellow for Indianapolis 500 updates.
