Politics / Re: Kenya Mall Under Attack From Islamic Terrorists (Pictures) by dare2think: 12:32pm On Sep 23, 2013
shymexx:

The crux of the matter is the message they intend to send across and the message is clear and it's for political reasons. And Kenyan forces aren't in Somalia for religious reasons, they're there for political reasons and for national defense.

Politics and religion are two separate things. Basically, I think why everyone keeps harping on about religion is because the group behind the attack is connected to Al Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula. However, who's "Al Qaeda" and who're behind "Al Qaeda?" Once you have a better understanding of the group and those behind it, then you would be able to decipher my point of view. We need to critique objectively.

Shymexx, you disappoint me with the bold statement.


In every country, from western Britain to conservative Iran. Politics and Religion are the same. They co-exist and would not not survive alone.

Last munite Tips:

#Alaba, #Pogba, #Isco, #Sam, #Vela, #Payet. Big players & nice small names. #fantasytips for #UCL Fantasy Football.




Selecting 15 players from 32 of the strongest teams in Europe was a particularly difficult, yet exciting challenge.

With the opportunity to make up to four substitutions after Tuesday's games, it is important to have decent backup on the bench. Between the sticks, I have plumped for Paris Saint-Germain FC and 2012/13 Ligue 1 goalkeeper of the year, Salvatore Sirigu, with experienced Chelsea FC stopper Petr Čech in reserve.

Finding the right balance is critical for any coach, but this is fantasy football, which means I can fill my defence with rampaging full-backs. I rate David Alaba as one of the best in the competition and a valuable asset with his penchant for scoring goals. PSG's flying Dutchman Gregory van der Wiel and Juventus' Stephan Lichtsteiner also serve as potent weapons. If all else fails, Dortmund centre-back Mats Hummels and AC Milan's Mattia De Sciglio are primed to step in.

Antoine Griezmann made his mark in the play-offs by scoring a wonderful goal in Real Sociedad de Fútbol's defeat of Olympique Lionnais and I believe there is more to come from the erudite midfielder. Meanwhile, Josué showed his class at FC Paços de Ferreira last term and I expect him to do so again with new club FC Porto. FC Schalke 04's Julian Draxler is one of the most exciting talents in the Bundesliga and the same can be said of Juve's Paul Pogba in Serie A.

The only midfielder over the age of 23 in my squad is Chelsea's Brazilian playmaker Willian, who caught my eye when covering the UEFA Champions League last term. SL Benfica teenager Lazar Marković is another exciting talent who set pulses racing during FK Partizan's 2012/13 UEFA Europa League campaign.

Goals should flow from SSC Napoli hit-man Gonzalo Higuaín, who arrived in Naples from Real Madrid CF for a reported fee of €37m. Then comes the million dollar question – Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo? I went for the former for the simple reason that he scored twice against AC Milan last season and FC Barcelona's Group H rivals are likely to play an open game – so expect goals and a raft of them from the Argentinian genius.

Donlittle: thanks for the advice, took out gaitan and demichelis to get toure, he plays well, and always get more points so i gave him the captaincy

cool, captaincy doubles your points.

Donlittle: just set mine up, this is the first time i am giving fantasy league a try, better be fun , can do with a few tips though, does it has an app on ipad or Samsung galaxy tablet

Well, just make sure you captain the person that will give you more points i.e a bonafide goal scorer like messi is often given the captain's armband.

If cech is your capt, make sure he does not concede any goal.

It should work well on an ipad

homesteady: Can you shed more light on the fantasy football? I'm sure many people don't understand it

you get to pick a maximum of 3 players on any team in the competition and you get points for their performances in real life. its fun.

make sure you pick players that the managers will definitely start.

ps messi and ronaldo.

The better the player the more expensive they are, and you operate under a budget.



Your squad must consist of:
Two Goalkeepers
Five Defenders
Five Midfielders
Three Forwards
The number of players you can select from a single team depends on the stage of the competition.




Just as real managers have to, you too must manage your budget and work within your means.
Your initial squad value must not exceed €100m
Once the group stage is complete, each team will be given an additional €5m




Based on their performance, players will be allocated a point score after each game. Actions occurring in extra time count but penalty shoot-outs do not. Points are awarded as detailed in the table below:



Playing in a game 1
Playing at least 60 minutes in a game (includes points mentioned above) 2
Goal scored by a goalkeeper or defender 6
Goal scored by a midfielder 5
Goal scored by a forward 4
For each assist* 3
Goalkeeper not conceding while on pitch (must play at least 60 minutes) 4
Defender not conceding while on pitch (must play at least 60 minutes) 4
Midfielder not conceding while on pitch (must play at least 60 minutes) 1
Earning a penalty 1
Conceding a penalty -1
Penalty miss -2
Penalty save 5
For every two goals conceded by a goalkeeper or defender -1
Yellow card -1
Red card (includes yellow card deduction) -3
Every three saves made by a goalkeeper 1
Every five recovered balls (clearances completed and/or successful tackles made) 1
