Celtic claim Scottish League Cup after Ryan Christie strike denies Aberdeen
how to live healthy and longevity : https://goo.gl/3L1CLn how to learn super speed? https://goo.gl/cPZGKt FIFA's Secret 19: https://goo.gl/FfPqWF Scottish League Cup The seventh trophy of Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic tenure felt like the most hard-fought. An under-par Celtic display, coupled with spirited resistance from Aberdeen, contributed to a tight League Cup final. Aberdeen emerge from this game with credit but Celtic demonstrated that valuable commodity of earning victory when not at peak level. A single-goal victory means Rodgers retains his record of winning every Scottish competition placed in front of him. The first half was most notable for a sickening incident. Gary Mackay-Steven leapt to connect with a Shay Logan cross, but the Aberdeen winger was instead involved in a clash of heads with Dedryck Boyata. The reaction of other players illustrated what trouble Mackay-Steven was in; after six minutes of treatment he left the field on a stretcher. Boyata was able to play on, albeit with head heavily bandaged. Celtic v Aberdeen: Scottish League Cup final – live! Read more Aberdeen’s plan to sit deep and frustrate Celtic had largely worked during that opening period. Tom Rogic clipped an Aberdeen post with a 20-yard effort and James Forrest screwed wide but Celtic were pretty punchless. Not that Aberdeen offered much more in a taut first half, save a Dominic Ball effort which flew high over the crossbar. Perhaps there was no surprise, then, that Celtic’s breakthrough arrived by virtue of going back to basics during lengthy stoppage time. Boyata lofted the ball from halfway towards Ryan Christie, whose run from midfield was not matched by Graeme Shinnie. Christie’s first shot was smartly saved by Joe Lewis but the Celtic player retained his footing sufficiently to scoop the rebound into Aberdeen’s net. The second half was considerably more open. There was also controversy; that Celtic were awarded a penalty for an alleged Ball handling offence was wrong both because there was no such infringement and said incident occurred outside the penalty area. Lewis partly spared the blushes of Andrew Dallas, the referee, by batting Scott Sinclair’s spot-kick away. Jozo Simunovic, in his first action after replacing the injured Boyata, shanked an attempted clearance against his own bar. Filip Benkovic and Sinclair came close to doubling Celtic’s lead. Aberdeen lacked nothing whatsoever in character but, not for the first time this season, hardly looked potent. Set-pieces appeared Aberdeen’s best hope of salvation; from one, Scott McKenna flicked a header narrowly wide.

Bacuna scores 50-yard own goal against Stoke... on Huddersfield debut
Bacuna scores 50-yard own goal against Stoke... on Huddersfield debut Published: 03:32 EDT, 29 August 2018 | Updated: 07:39 EDT, 29 August 2018 Juninho Bacuna submitted a contender for the all-time most spectacular own goal on Tuesday night as he compounded Huddersfield Town's Carabao Cup defeat by Stoke City with an accidental 50-yard lob. The Terriers were losing 1-0 with just seconds left on the clock when Bacuna tried to launch a final attack with a volleyed lump upfield. However, he completely miscued the effort and sent it sailing towards the wrong goal. Huddersfield's goalkeeper Jonas Lossl was already well off of his line as they threw caution to the wind and the ball disastrously sailed over his head and bounced into the empty net. A quite staggering own goal started when Stoke cleared their lines against Huddersfield Juninho Bacuna attempted to volley the ball back up the field in the dying minutes of the game But the Dutch defender shanked his attempts to clear to ball and it flew towards his own net Jonas Lossl, up the pitch in an attempt to ... --------------------- DONT FORGET SUBSCRIBE FOR ME : https://goo.gl/r8kgfa
New Mexico State beats Utah State 26-20 in Arizona Bowl (Dec 29, 2017)
The Arizona Bowl is not typically the type of game where fans storm the field.Certainly not for a team that finished 7-6.But this has been a long, arduous wait for New Mexico State fans.All those losing seasons, all that disappointment, all that time between bowl games.Larry Rose III scored on a 21-yard run in overtime and New Mexico State won in its first bowl game in 57 years, beating Utah State 26-20 in the Arizona Bowl on Friday night.”I’m just thrilled for these kids and this community,” New Mexico State coach Doug Martin.”Just look at these fans who showed up here.This is an unbelievable day for us.Utah State (6-7) had the ball first in overtime and Dominik Eberle hit the right upright on a 29-yard field goal attempt, sending a groan through the Utah State crowd.Eberle made 16 for 18 field goals during the regular season, but missed three in the Arizona Bowl.New Mexico State won it when Jones burst through a hole on the left side, sending the Aggies and their fans rushing onto the Arizona Stadium field.Jones finished with 142 yards on 16 carries.”He’s my field goal kicker.I love that kid and he’s been really consistent all year,” Utah State coach Matt Wells said.”Was I surprised? Yes.Was I disappointed in him? Not one bit.” The third Arizona Bowl started with some early fireworks on special teams.Utah State’s Savon Scarver returned a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter, then New Mexico State’s Jason Huntley took the ensuing kickoff 100 yards for a score.The excitement leveled off considerably until LaJuan Hunt scored on a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter, set up by a shanked punt from New Mexico State’s Payton Theisler.New Mexico State’s Tyler Rogers, held in check most of the game, answered by moving the Aggies on a 69-yard scoring drive, capped by his 11-yard touchdown pass to Jaleel Scott that tied it at 20.A video review overturned the initial call that Scott was out of bounds.Rogers, who was second nationally with 347 yards passing per game during the regular season, threw for 191 yards and touchdown with two interceptions.This was a rematch 57 years in the making.New Mexico State had not been to a bowl game since the 1960 Sun Bowl.The opponent: Utah State.Utah State went to eight bowls after that, including six of the last seven.New Mexico State went into a bowl-less tailspin, finishing with a losing record 44 times since that last bowl game.It had 14 straight losing seasons, including a 0-12 mark in 2005, before winning its final two games this season to finally get back to bowling.The long-awaited rematch turned into the Special Teams Bowl in the first half.New Mexico State’s Dylan Brown made two field goals, Eberle made two and missed two, and each team had a kickoff return for a touchdown.After a third quarter of defensive stops and punting, both teams found the end zone to send the game overtime – and, later, New Mexico State’s fans onto the field.”I thought it was a fairly clean game and pretty aggressive on b
Northern ireland's chris brunt won't dwell on norway gaffe
Northern ireland's chris brunt won't dwell on norway gaffe Published 0140 EDT, 9 October 2017 Updated 0140 EDT, 9 October 2017 Chris Brunt will not dwell on the owngoal gaffe that cost Northern Ireland in Norway as his country are still just a playoff away from making the World Cup finals. Less than an hour before kickoff in Oslo on Sunday, Michael ONeills men learned they were assured of a twolegged tie to determine if they will reach Russia because Scotland had failed to beat Slovenia in one of the earlier games. That provided relief and removed some pressure for the Northern Irish players at the Ullevaal Stadion, even if they knew that victory would have enhanced their chances of possibly being seeded for that playoff draw. Chris Brunt will not dwell on his mistake that consigned Northern Ireland to defeat in NorwayIt was Norway who would emerge as winners, though, thanks to Brunts 71stminute mistake which saw him shank an attempted leftfooted clearance into the roof of his own net after Michael McGovern had tipped a cross in the air.

UNBOXING: Michael Jordan's favorite RETRO Air JORDAN 11 "72-10"
A closer look at the Air Jordan XI "72-10". This shoe remains one of Michael Jordan's favorites.

What inspired its design? For this story, we’ll take a look at this shoe, the Air Jordan 11. Design and technology are the key components of a performance sneaker, particularly a basketball sneaker, and with the Jordan 11, you see one of the rare moments when these two intersect and impact the way shoes are made from that moment on. Starting with design of the shoe, Tinker Hatfield, the man who had designed every Jordan since the 3, actually designed the shoe in secret. Nike, at the time, wasn’t sure that Mike would be returning and thought the Jordan line would be over. Despite this, Tinker Hatfield pushed ahead in secret and designed the shoe anyway. One of the key elements of the shoe, the patent leather, changed they way that sneakers were made at the time. Tinker, watching game tape of Michael playing, happened to notice that Mike would roll over the top of his shoes when changing direction, and this slowed him down. Patent leather was stronger and could withstand the force of the change. Often called the mudguard, the patent leather actually served two purposes. Tinker wanted to create something that looked good both on and off the court for Mike. Rumor has it, that MJ wanted something he could wear with a suit, and the patent leather fit the bill. However, patent leather wasn’t the only big technological innovation on the shoe. Before the Air Jordan 11, carbon fiber had never been used in a shoe. Prior to this time, the shank plate on shoes were made with various materials, but Tinker’s vision to make the shoes faster, lighter, and stronger brought him to the lightweight and ridged material. That brings us to the upper. A new nylon ballistic mesh was added that lead up to the padded collar. Called cordura nylon or sometimes cordura mesh, the material is ultra-lightweight and manages to maintains its strength, despite its elasticity. Tinker also included a webbing around the midfoot that adheres to the shape of your foot. It works with your foot to keep you locked in. OC: MJ introd the popular Concord Colorway of the Jordan 11 in the playoffs in 1995 as well as the “Space Jam” colorway, which he also wore in the movie Space Jam. When the shoes finally went on sale later that year, kids were waiting in line to buy them. Tinker has since called the Jordan 11 his favorite design. As for Michael, he feels the same way. The Bulls did go 72-10 that year, and he won the MVP for the Finals, regular season, and the all-star game. Not to mention his fourth NBA championship. Patent leather, cordura nylon, carbon fiber, the design mind of Tinker, and the game of MJ ... It is those things that make the story of the Air Jordan 11 such a cool shoe. No matter the color.
