THE FINALS


 OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER 
The Oklahoma City THUNDER had 3 more days than the Miami HEAT to rest as they eliminated the SPURS after winning 4 straight games . THUNDER's mega-star Kevin Durant played a savior role for the team from Oklahoma City as he scored the most points in the series . Guards James Harden (sixth man of the year ) and all star Russell Westbrook will also play a crucial role in this FINALS series .
MIAMI HEAT
On the other side of the court stand the Miami HEAT . After a breathtaking and exhausting 7 game series against the CELTICS the HEAT advanced to the FINALS despite the fact that they were down 3-2 and elimination was just around the corner . In this FINALS series , HEAT's superstar LeBron James will have to dominate both ends of the floor (just like he's been doing all playoffs long) and will have to get the needed support from Dwayne Wade , Chris Bosh and all the role players .

DURANTULA vs. THE KING
In this FINALS series we will witness a duel that might take place in the FINALS for several years . It's all about Kevin Durant of the THUNDER against LeBron James of the HEAT . I believe that LeBron James will dominate more than Kevin Durant especially in the defensive end although Durant is expected to put up huge numbers .

PREDICTION: HEAT IN 6-7

Croatia vs The Republic of Ireland Group C matchday :1

A 3-1 win against the Republic of Ireland represented a job well done for Croatia's Luka Modrić, Niko Kranjčar, Nikica Jelavić and Ivan Rakitić, who will take plenty of confidence into their remaining Group C games against Italy and Spain. Croatia's performance and victory against the Republic of Ireland fulfilled captain Darijo Srna's promise to "make our friends and families" proud.Croatia played wonderfully, almost constantly going forward. Slaven Bilić's tactical tweaks, worked as it brought the side extra attacking power with Srna at right-back and two fantastic wingers, Ivans Rakitić and Perišić on the right and left respectively. Their crosses, backed up by captain Srna, Luka Modrić's quality in central midfield and the unerring finishing of Nikica Jelavić and Mario Mandžukić were the things that stood out, but the whole team was fantastic. By Phil Nomikos

Sharapova downs Errani to secure career Grand Slam-Rolland Garros 2012 women's Final


Maria Sharapova took her place among the greats of the game by becoming the tenth woman in history to win a career Grand Slam, and the sixth in the Open era. The soon-to-be world no.1 played excellent attacking tennis to down her valiant challenger, Sara Errani 6-3, 6-2.
After a nerveless and virtually faultless performance, full of clean hitting and daring attack, Sharapova fell to her knees as Errani netted on match point. The Russian held her head in her hands for a moment, before jumping to her feet and twirling with joy. After Wimbledon in 2004, the US Open in 2006 and the Australian Open in 2008, she has now won all four majors - a career Grand Slam - and was so happy that she even spoke French (as well as Russian, Spanish and English!) in her post-match speech, to the delight of the fans who gave her the rousing reception she so richly deserves.  By Phil Nomikos

Poland vs Greece Euro 2012 attendance:- 56,826 ( Referee- Carlos V. Carballo)
A red card for either team (Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Szczesny), a missed penalty (Karagounis) and two goals- the opening game of Euro 2012 produces tons of drama as hosts Poland and Euro 2004 winners Greece play out a 1-1 draw in Warsaw.
Poland starting lineup v Greece Euro 2012:- Szczesny, Piszczek, Wasilewski, Perquis, Boenisch, Murawski, Polanski, Blaszczykowski, Obraniak, Rybus, Lewandowski
Greece starting lineup vs Greece 2012:- Chalkias, Torosidis, Papastathopoulos, Avraam Papadopoulos, Holebas, Maniatis, Katsouranis, Karagounis, Ninis, Gekas, Samaras 

Greece denied Poland a winning start to UEFA EURO 2012 by coming from behind to claim a 1-1 draw in a dramatic opening match in Warsaw.
The home party looked in full swing at half-time after a first period of Polish dominance brought a Robert Lewandowski goal, but Greece, down to ten men after Sokratis Papastathopoulos's dismissal, responded with a 51st-minute equaliser from substitute Dimitris Salpingidis.

 Snow white and the huntsman. 

This film had a lot of differences from the original tale. First of all it was an action movie that wasn't at all focused on the romantic parts of the original tale. There was no prince only a huntsman that decided  to teach snow white how to fight   evil queen Ravvena.  Ravenna used magic to gain power and thirsted for youth. She didnt  hesitate to kill people so that she could steal  their lives and gain immortality. She  married snow whites father and murder him on their wedding night .  As a result she  became  by force the queen of the kingdom and terrorized the people .  After that she locked snow white on a tower for many years. One day she asked her magic mirror the typical question " mirror mirror on the wall whose the fairest of them all? ". Surprisingly the answer was a lot different of the expected one. Snow white had grown and was actually much more beautiful than her. Also she was a threat, she had the purest blood and was the only one who could actually destroy the queen. She could undone the spell and kill her. When Ravenna realizes that, she decides to hunt snow white down. Luckily snow white escapes to the dark forrest and tries to find a way to kill the queen and bring back peace in the kingdom. The queen sends the huntsman to bring snow white  back but he falls in love with her and switches sides and fights against Ravenna ! Will snow white actually beat the queen or will the tale end for once with a bad ending? 
Personally i enjoyed watching the film. It was very entertaining and had an intriguing plot. I recommend it to anyone that likes action movies and doesn't mind war scenes and violence.

NBA - It's a semi-finals thing

WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS :THUNDER LEAD SERIES 3-2
The San Antonio SPURS had a 2-0 lead against the Oklahoma City THUNDER , but the THUNDER had the last word . They won 3 straight games against the experienced team from Texas including Game 5 in San Antonio . Game 6 is tonight and might be the most important game for the team from Oklahoma City as it is the first time they've reached this point where either you win or go home .








 EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: CELTICS LEAD SERIES 3-2
Being a Miami HEAT fan , it is kind of hard for me to write about these conference finals , but they seem like one of the most shocking ones . Miami got the two easy wins in Miami building a 2-0 lead . But everything the built was about to get crashed in Boston . The old , experienced and bonded team of Doc Rivers gained the respect they deserved after winning three straight games in a row including one in Miami . Miami HEAT's Chris Bosh healed from the injury but didn't play enough to help his team .

NBA - CELTICS beat HEAT Game 3



   The Boston CELTICS passed through the Miami HEAT 101-91 in Boston . Lebron James of the Miami HEAT scored 34 points and grabbed 8 rebounds but he was almost helpless offensively . But the player with one of the biggest role in this game was Rajon Rondo . Personally , I believe Rondo is the leader of the Boston CELTICS despite the fact that he is one of the youngest . He scored 21 points and dissed 10 assists . Paul Pierce of the Boston CELTICS scored 23 points , but the CELTICS' player who had the biggest impact was Kevin "KG" Garnett . He scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds . To stop KG the HEAT need Chris Bosh who is still out because of an injury .
