With two more stunning strikes in France’s commanding 3-1 win over Poland at Al Thumama Stadium in the round of 16, Kylian Mbappe is very quickly earning the title as the best player in the world right now. 

This year’s World Cup is Qatar was meant to be the send-off for Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but the proverbial heir to their crown has had other ideas — scoring five times and assisting twice in Les Bleus’ four games to date to steal the limelight from the all-time greats.

France look set to dismantle everything in their way to retain their status of world champions, and when they have a player like Mbappe at their disposal, Didier Deschamps’ men have a great chance of doing just that. 

Up next for Les Blues is Euro 2020 finalists England. There were some doubts surrounding the Three Lions ahead of the World Cup after the Three Lions’ dreadful Nations League campaign — in which they suffered relegation to League B. 

But all of those questions have been answered thus far, and England are now looking like a real threat to take out the title at Lusail Stadium on December 18 after topping Group B unscathed before comfortably dispatching of African champions Senegal in the round of 16 — winning 3-0 thanks to goals from Jordan Henderson, Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane. 

This will be Gareth Southgate’s side’s toughest task yet in the Middle East, however, and his men are slightly less favoured than their counterparts in the England v France odds. The slight advantage Les Bleus have in the betting market is arguably down to the incredible prowess of Mbappe and the fact that he can change the game in a blink of an eye. 

How England stop the Paris Saint-Germain forward is like trying to solve the Davinci Code. Southgate will be racking his brain between now and Saturday’s match to try and think of a solution, but the most obvious one is pairing him up against Kyle Walker in what will be a true battle of pace and determination. 

The Manchester City right-back is the only person in the England squad who could keep up with Mbappe in a foot race, but the 32-year-old hasn’t played much football in the last couple of months and could struggle against a man who has almost 10 years on him. 

In these circumstances, Walker wouldn’t be able to put a foot wrong either. One bad tackle or pull back as Mbappe bursts away could result in a yellow card and then the 23-year-old really does hold the upper hand in this battle — with Walker treading on eggshells. 

Another option is Southgate retreating to five at the back, something we are more accustomed to seeing from England under his tenure as opposed to the 4-3-3 he has gone with so far in Qatar. That would allow Walker to play in right centre-back and have additional cover from Kieran Trippier, which seems the more likely solution than a one-on-one battle with Mbappe that the Man City man probably isn’t going to win.Whatever England feel is the best solution is down to them, but it seems like an almost impossible task going by his current form.

Drama in ’93: Exploring the ‘greatest disaster in the history of the Grand National https://techkalture.com/exploring-the-greatest-disaster-in-the-history-of-the-grand-national/ Thu, 07 Apr 2022 10:35:27 +0000 https://techkalture.com/?p=3774 Only on a handful of occasions in its lengthy 183-year history has the Grand National

Only on a handful of occasions in its lengthy 183-year history has the Grand National not taken place. The most recent cancellation of the gruelling Aintree race coming in 2020, thanks to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in the United Kingdom —grinding the sport of horse racing to a sudden halt as it did with so many other things in life. 

The first and second World Wars meant that there were no renewals of the National between 1916-1918 and 1941-1945. All valid reasons for the ultimate test of horse and rider not to take place in Merseyside, of course. 

Only on one other occasion has an edition of the marathon contest not been added to the record books. That was in 1993 when the race was voided for the first, and still to this day only, time. 

It’s fair to say that the decision to scratch the race from history did not sit well with those who had spent time studying the form cards and thoroughly scouring the horse racing odds in a bid to make a winning selection. But like the tale of Foinavon, Captain Beecher and so many famous renewals before it, the 1993 edition of the race will live long in the memory of the millions who watched it unfold and will go down in jump racing folklore. 

Of course, not everyone will be familiar with the dramatic events that took place at a bewildered Aintree Racecourse that day. Even if you are, it’s always worth jogging the memory and taking a look back anyway. So, without further ado, let’s delve back through the achieves and explore what was described by commentator Peter O’Sullevan as the ‘greatest disaster in the history of the Grand National.’ 

False starts

The beginning of the National is often utter chaos, with the 40-odd horses and jockeys furiously jostling for the perfect position at starter’s orders. But there was an extra spanner thrown in the works in 1993, as a host of animal rights protestors stormed the track close to the first fence — delaying the start of the race. 

Things only got worse from there. With the track quickly cleared, a false start was called by Keith Brown as several jockeys got tangled in the tapes. The runners who managed to avoid the mix-up were waved down by a second official before the first fence, returning to the start for a second attempt. 

The same happened again though, with jockey Richard Dunwoody — in the saddle of Won’t Be Gone Long — getting the tapes stuck around his neck. This is where disaster struck, as the starter’s flag failed to unravel and 30 of the 39 entries made off down the track. Ken Evans, the aforementioned second official, also failed to stop the 30 runners — all unaware of what was going on behind them. 

The race

Despite the best efforts of everybody inside Aintree to try to bring attention to what had happened, the majority field still continued racing. Farm Week fell at the fourth, Royal Athlete fell at Valentine’s (fence nine) and Senator Snugfit took a tumble at the 10th

It wasn’t until the water jump, the penultimate fence of the first circuit, that some of the jockeys finally realised what was going on and ultimately pulled up their horses — including the heavily backed duo of Captain Dribble, who had Champion Jockey Peter Scudamore in the saddle, and Party Politics, who was the 7/1 favourite. 

14 horses still managed to carry on into the second lap of the race though, with Sure Metal and Howe Street battling for the lead before both falling at the 20th hurdle. 15/2 chance Romany King boasted the lead until after the final fence, losing out to Cahervillahow (25/1) and Esha Mess (50/1) — the former finishing in second to the massive outsider. 

What happened next? 

Despite the fact that O’Sullevan, who continued to commentate on proceedings for the BBC, had repeatedly stated that the race would be declared void, there was still mass confusion as to what would happen. Brown, who was officiating his final Grand National before retirement, had indicated that he may allow the nine non-starters to compete. But the Jockey Club declared the race void and the starter was booed by the Aintree crowd. 

An investigation later found Brown to be only partially to blame, as he was deemed to have allowed the runners to get too close to the tape. Instead, it was Evans, the official further down the course, who was considered the main culprit for the mess — failing to spot the false start and allowing the horses and jockeys to carry on racing.

As winter gently turns to spring, and the days get warmer and the nights shorter, it’s a good time to take stock of some of the top-class sporting drama we’ve seen unfold in 2022 so far. With spectators returning to sporting venues thanks to the easing of coronavirus-related restrictions, there has been something of a celebratory atmosphere at many matches and events so far this year. 

With plenty still to look forward to on the 2022 calendar, including the World Cup in Qatar, we’ve had a quick look at three of the most interesting developments in the first three months of this exciting sporting year. 

Liverpool win the League Cup

On a pulsating afternoon at Wembley Stadium, it was Liverpool’s supporters who ultimately savoured the taste of victory in the League Cup final. Both they and Chelsea had goals disallowed over the course of an entertaining 120 minutes, but the match finished goalless to set up a nerve-shredding penalty shootout. 

With both Kepa Arrizabalaga and Caoimhin Kelleher unable to save any penalties for their respective sides, the two goalkeepers were forced to step up to the mark themselves. Kelleher confidently stroked his spot-kick home, but Arrizabalaga could only watch on with horror as his shot soared over the crossbar and into the masses of jubilant Reds fans.

Liverpool had laid claim to the trophy, and it was they who climbed the famous steps at Wembley to receive the trophy, which Jordan Henderson held aloft in celebration.

A thrilling Cheltenham Festival

Turning to horse racing, there’s no denying that the Cheltenham Festival offered a welcome glimpse of what makes this sporting occasion so special. As fans packed into the Prestbury Park concourses for the first time in two years, there was an added fervency to the famous ‘Cheltenham roar’ as horse racing enthusiasts up and down the country eagerly examined the Betdaq racing betting.

Highlights included Honeysuckle’s stunning performance to win a second successive Champion Hurdle crown, Energumene’s victory in the Queen Mother Champion Chase, and the thrill of A Plus Tard’s dominant Gold Cup triumph.

The star trainer of the Festival was Willie Mullins, who had saddled a record-breaking 10 winners by the time the four days had come to an end. Meanwhile, Paul Townend won the Leading Jockey accolade, boasting five winners.

Six Nations glory for France

Heading into the 2022 Six Nations, it had been 12 years since France last enjoyed a title triumph, but Fabien Galthié’s side produced some stunning rugby to win an impressive Grand Slam. With everything on the line, Les Bleus produced a fine performance to beat England on the final night and prevent Ireland from snatching the title.

The triumph has come at an important time for France in the context of world rugby. With another Six Nations championship to come next year, before attention turns to the 2023 Rugby World Cup which France will be hosting, they seem to be coming into form at just the right time.

It was a terrific Six Nations overall, and with capacity crowds lending a vibrant atmosphere to each match, the 2022 tournament will live long in the memory.

The Middle East is a region of the world that is slowly but surely integrating itself with the exciting cricket world. There are many great matches played in those countries, and betting opportunities on them can be found at the https://www.in.1xbet.com/ website.

One of the newest members of the International Cricket Council from that part of the world is Oman. The country joined cricket’s world governing body back in 2000. Later, in 2014, the organization granted the country Associate status. This meant that from that moment, it was possible for the Omani national squad to start playing major international cricket matches.

Another milestone obtained by Omani cricket was being granted One-Day International status. From that moment, the team was able to start participating in relevant cricket competitions. Lots of Twenty20 and One-Day International cricket matches can be found and wagered on at the 1xBet website.

Participation in important tournaments

The Oman national cricket is a relatively new member of the cricket world. For this reason, their participation in major tournaments started only in the 21st century. Currently, it is possible to find out cricket betting rates on in.1xbet.com/line/Cricket/, which are available for many competitions taking place in the Middle East.

Some of the first tournaments where the Omani squad participated included:

  • the ACC Trophy;
  • the ACC Twenty20 Cup;
  • and also, various ICC World Cup Qualifiers.

One of the first huge achievements made by Oman was to qualify for the 2016 Twenty20 World Cup. This means that in the future, Oman is likely to continue improving. Right now, great cricket betting rates can be found out on 1xBet, and they are available for all the covered cricket matches.

Development of the sport in Oman

As it has happened with many other countries around the Middle East, cricket has grown mostly due to the large immigration from the Indian subcontinent. Currently, the bookmaker company 1xBet app for iOS provides excellent chances to bet on many cricket matches from that part of the world.

As a result of this immigration, a local cricket league started to evolve in Oman. However, since the beginnings of those competitions, a majority of the players have been from India or Pakistan rather than native Oman people. However, this hasn’t prevented the exponential growth shown by the Oman national cricket team. The 1xBet bookmaker company has an excellent app for iOS, which offers tons of wagers and rewards, and can be obtained for free.
