All Time Best 11

This is a quite interesting topic across the globe for any sports to make an all time best 11 for any team game.For Soccer I am sure each and every pundit has created their best 11. Fact is that when they are creating they themselves know this 11 can't be the best one. We are living in the era of Virtual world. Due to the blessings of software or game writers our Imaginations are getting more and more real. Due to development of Technology the fine line of reality and Imaginations are become merged. Football is the game which is become a religion to the people across the globe. I don't think any other game has such global appeal which soccer does have. Because of the soccer , People of the interior part of Asia, Africa are spending sleepless night and cheering up for the different continent countries like Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.

So being a Soccer Fan I am trying to design an all time best 11. But fact is that It is almost impossible to distinguish between greatness of the players of two or three different era. If you ask me my opinion I will find 6/7 greats are in one position. But Football is the game of 11 players. So How?

I have divided my observation in two parts. 1) The Greats whom I have seen on operation full 90 minutes and 2) The greats whom I have read about maximum watched video Clip. I have exceptional respect for those pundits and reporters who had created an Inter Era Highway by using the tools like write up and Video clips.

with out going More details I am presenting my best 11

Goal Keeper:

DINO ZOFF:

Lev Yashin, Gordon Banks, Sepp Maier these names are very dependable in Goal keeping hostory. To be very honest It 's very difficult for any expert to skip these names. My problem is that I have heard legend of Yashin even able to see Video clip of the excellent save of Gordon Banks against Pele.But Dino Zoff is the name whom I hated most. I had witnessed him on 1982 world cup. Paolo Rossi might be the hero of 1982 especially the historic win (3-2) against one of the finest Brazilian teams in the history but 40 years Captain of Italy brought his performance in different height on this particular day. He was continuing his same form and had Played like a wall on 1982 world cup. Dino Zoff was actually responsible to break the heart of Brazilian Fans of 1982 and that's why being a 3rd standard school boy I had hated this person very much but I still can't come out of the keeping of this great man. Oliver Kahn is also one of my favorites. But My Vote will be always for great Dino Zoff.


FULL BACK (RIGHT):

CAFU:

Modern Day role of full back are not defending only . very often they can be seen more on overlapping .Actually Brazil has been producing great full backs since 50s and I am pretty much sure Cafu is the best man in this right back business.

CENTRAL DEFENDERS


FRANZ BECKENBAUER:

First of all I was little bit confused about his role . what will be the role of him in team? Defender or Sweeper or Holding Midfielder? One of the complete footballers in history. Without Kaiser no best 11 is complete.


PAOLO MALDINI:

Again I have confusion about the position . Maldini had the ability to play both Left and Central. But Maldini is always my first choice


FULL BACK (LEFT):

NILTON SANTOS:

To be very frank my first choice was Cafu's Long time Partner Roberto Carlos . Later i think about Junior . But As much as I read about Nilton Santos, I understand how much contribution he did have for the Brazilian football as well as World Soccer. Actually He was pioneering left back being one of first full backs to participate in the offensive game. Actually Nilton Santos is the Trend setter of the modern day full back.


MID FIELD:
I am sorry to say I don't keep any holding Mid Fielders In Team-


FERENC PUSKAS:

First of all I am neither soccer expert nor a sports reporter . Just I am a normal Viewer. If we are going to speak about technicality Galloping Major of the football never comes in best 11. Because his position (inside left in) is already in museum. But Can we able to deny his contribution in world football. Actually Mighty Magayars has changed the definition of the game. I don't think No other teams in the world dominated such a long time. Though I did not see him, he is one of the champions and always will be.


JOHAN CRUEF:

Another trend setter in the world football who were leading from front. At least I don't have audacity to leave Cruef from the 11.


MARADONA:
No adjective is enough to Justify Maradona's Position


DIEGO FORLAN:

Many will raise their Eyebrow. Zinadine Zindane, Eusebio, Messi or any of them can claim this place. But To me Forlan is one of the most complete Player. He was simply outstanding in last world cup because of his long range set piece, speed, Versatility . Over all Forlan is a complete package. Most Important he leads to re establish old glory of Uruguay.

PELE:

As Maradona there is nothing to describe about Messenger of football religion.


RONALDO:

Undoubtedly the best Striker of the history. Truly Phenomenon. Fact is that Ronaldo the phenomenon is the Role model of any young footballers in the globe.


I know my this list is not perfect. I remember There was the roster of Europe Vs rest of the world or South America Vs rest of the world after 1982 and 1986 world cup. But Due to Modern days Club football whole soccer world is become one world.

THE FINAL DESTINATION

Renowned Bengali Film Maker Satyajit Ray got recognition, name and fame
From his first poetic celluloid master piece Pother pachaliI.
Frankly speaking I don’t understand the word of film critics. But I was only a
High school student while Mr. Ray got his life time achievement of Oscar award.
The name Sattajit Ray and discussion about his movie became status symbol to
Bengali Media. We did not have powerful diaspora that time, but we were very proud to discuss about

Pothrer Pachali, Jalsa ghar and all extremely critically acclaimed movies .
The technicality and concepts were really out of our reach to understand. But I
Am surprised to see no critics or pundits were speaking about his another master
Piece Hirak Rajar Deshe . But surprisingly so far Hirak Rajar deshe is the most

Popular creation of Mr. Ray . It is become the master piece of the political Satire
Concept. Actually Total political process of Bangladesh become now tools of
experiment of some unconstitutional opportunists. They are known as
Civil society. Every alternative day we are hearing about frustration about both political parties. From dawn to dust media does have one effort to prove
How bad electoral process is . How inefficient political leaders are ! How corrupt
They are but while one Nobel laureate does not care about retirement policy and
Creating efficient successor, this whole civil society has a common chorus,”
He has made Bangladesh proud . So he is above law .” Only God knows when the Editors of Leading National Daily Prothom-Alo will know about his
Age of creative retirement “.

Basically the biggest tragedy of the country like Bangladesh is the sufferings of monopolistic attitude of a particular class. Politics is the most profitable industry in country like Bangladesh. But To invest in this industry Dan Brown’s Fake meteorite kind of plot is always needed to
make people fool. It seems all nonpolitical people are become politically most correct in this country. I have heard so much about checks and balance, decentralization of power, Institutional reform. But Theory
Of those social and political parameters are always changed by the contractors
Of civil society. Because what ever happened Monopoly has to be secured.

Party like Awami league which has the biggest mass support is always the biggest
Obstacle for this monopoly. Equally the contractors of monopoly always find difficulties to destroy the organization which is built on the support of mass
People. So what will be the alternative solution? Take control of the party. Inject more liquidity in the party . Just kick out all veteran leaders who
Had extremely bright political back ground and simply destroy even next generation Political leadership.

So called Civil society is always there to play neutral game to make all negative nonpolitical parameters positive in front of public eyes. It is really sad to see extremely right
Wing guy Golam Moula Rony is in AL.
Does Our Prime minister able to realize her control in the party and ideology is getting diminish? Does she realize same contractors of the monopoly is playing
With the party image from inside the party? By playing in the stock market, they make their profit maximized but all small investors are coming into the road.
Is AL getting benefit to follow the Army backed care taker Government ‘s Telecommunication policy to issue some expensive license and creating the monopoly for some vested interest group?
What’s the benefit, AL getting to support the atrocity and brutality of Rab against a young boy Limon? In every institutions some Army Generals or Brigadiers
are seating as head (BTRC, Election Commission). Is Al not making political suicide to support all these extra judicial activities of all those army, generals?
Our current PM should not forget that she was the victim of those extra judicial
actions of 1/11 cronies.

I am surprised to see ex finance minister AMS KIBRIA family is still not getting justice . This respected politician has given his life for this party and contributed in 1971 . But
Can’t his family accept minimum support and initiative from the own party to ensure justice?
The full blue print was designed before 2001 election from
Mentors of these social contractors. Next 5 years were the extreme monopolistic display of Tarek Rahman and Co. He was single- handedly responsible to destroy the image of whole politicians of Bangladesh.

Gradually 1/11 blue print executed . Common people did not have confidence on the neutral and balance theory of monopolistic contractors and civil society. Biggest success of these contractors
are to create distance between senior political leaders of Al and Sheikh Hasina.

it is very easy to

Prove in public that these political parties are use less through an useless cabinet.

These all are plotted to create a gateway to power for this unelected regime .

This is the wake up call for Awami league. If this Government is failed we may
be in a political black hole . We may need another 20 years to come out of this
Paranoid.

Uruguay The Aniciant Land Lord of The World Football

It was 1924 Olympic. A Team from South America went to compete in the Olympic Games. In contrast to the physical style of the European teams of the era, They played a style based around short passes and won every game, defeating Switzerland 3-0 in the gold medal match. In the 1928 Summer Olympics same team went to Amsterdam to defend their title, again winning the gold medal after defeating Argentina 2-1 in the final. The name of this team is Uruguay , The first giant of Latin America. Gradually The most popular tournament of the world was born in this country on 1930. Again One of the smallest populated countries in the world kept their place permanently in the Hall of fame . They were the first world champion, Undisputed Land lord of The world football. After that on 1950 They got again the crown of world football. None can take away from them the right of their great football history . But After that
They found themselves in big downfall. Growth rate of two Prolific neighbors Brazil and Argentina is increasing leaps and bound. Other Nations like Paraguay, Colombia and Chili also felt their presence in world football.But It seems Oldest landlord Uruguay went to the deep sleep and some times woke up occasionally as tourist in the world cup. After 1970 success is become out of sight to them. But while they have qualified in the world cup people start to dream again. There were also reasons because of some great names like Enzo Francescoli, Ruben Sosa, Álvaro Recoba.
But These all are spark of the moments. People are desperately looking some thing from them because of their past.
Again another biggest sporting extravaganza of 2010 is just few hours away from us. Uruguay will face France in few hours with some generation next super footballers like Diego Forlan , Luis Suarez , Nicolas Lodeiro. Veteran Oscar Washington Tabarez has prepared the team who is known as Professor of World Football.Best part is that Uruguay went back to their root of 1924 from where they started. They have understood now , the attacking genre which they have
introduced to world football should be the mantra of their football.
I am optimistic about La celeste this time.

Mr Shahrukh Khan You have simply made Mockery of Cricketing Spirit

Dear Shahrukh,

First of all this team KKR belongs to you and you do have always this medieval landlord attitude
( Reference : your reply to Mr Gavaskar " This team is mine"), I am afraid how sportingly you will take my comment.

So please pardon me Sir , If I bring you wrong side of the cricket.

1) what is this Multiple captain theory? Is it not the mockery of both John and you to the cricket?
2) You have mentioned from the cricketing point of view , You guys have changed the captaincy of KKR but
what is this cricketing point? Can you enlighten us
3) what is the cricketing point of view to include Moises Henriques in First two matches? Or is it John's commitment to his country? So I understand to spent usd 600k for Mashrafe is your another stunt?
4) On which cricketing point of view You have dropped Ajantha Mendis who is a Mystery spinner Even Fab 4 of Indian cricket (Ganguly, Laxman, Dravid and Tendulkar) who are known as best players of the spin bowling
Had difficulty to read Mendis. At least Shane Warne’s opinion about Mr John Marshall Buchanan is very much Justified that Australia had outstanding players so Buchanan was
Maximum a Coordinator.

5) can you please Justify the Vice Captaincy of Brad Hodge ? why did n’t John keep pressure on
Australian team to take him on team ? what a Joke! he is become vice captain. He should not come to the best 11 even

Sorry Mr Khan This is not Cricket. It is Just a big time mockery to this great sports on the leader ship of Lalit Modi.

Bangladesh Election &Bankrupt Elite Class

"To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;”

What can I say more than that? Far from my mother land I try to type some words on my note book. Recently I was monitoring some talk shows on the forth coming election in Bangladesh on a few Bangladeshi channels and noted some anomalies. The roll of media in Bangladesh seems a bit funny to me.

One of them is Channel I which airs a popular Talk Show called Tritio Matra. The host Zillur Rahman is a renowned Dhaka elite. Bangladeshi elites (Shusheel Samaj) are the 8th wonders of the world. Now who are these elites?

During the liberation war (1971) there were some notable intellectuals in Bangladesh, who augmented the cause of Bangladesh and some of them were able to escaped the wrath of the Pakistani and collaborator forces. They had representations in every part of the society and were very much near and dear to the people. Some of them explicitly dedicated their life for country. Their successors and the contemporary intellectuals had a dream for a secular and progressive Bangladesh. I can mention few names such as Kabir Chowdhury, Hassan Imam, Dr Nilima Ibrahim, Samsur Rahman, Begam Sufiya Kamal, Abdul Gaffar Chowdhury and the list goes on. They fought for their Principle and rights without any compromise all through their lives. But they were countered by the reactionary forces and very often they were labeled as “Awami Intellects”.

In course of time a few of them already reached the end of their lives and the nation lost some valuable assets. Some of them like Humayun Azad was the target of fanatics because they had progressive thoughts. I am sorry to say we have not got eligible successors of them, probably they retracted out of fear. Instead, we got some compromising, power monger, rootless and people of double standard, who are now known as the elite class of Bangladesh. You will see their re presentation in almost every forum now.

A chunk of editors, retired army officers, barristers, business men, some rootless politicians, media celebrities have formed a big syndicate. Over the top they are getting support of a portion of Non resident Bangladeshi who have the fatal attraction for a non elected regime and backing of some ambassadors of some influential countries.

Coming Back to Zillur Rahman’s popular Talk show, suddenly I have found some funny kind of characters are appearing at his program. One so called businessman from Qatar, who tried to get nomination from one political party but failed, simply was slumming politicians indiscriminately and have made funny comments about the father of the nation on a free style manner. Zillur was also
fueling on the fire.

Our elites are very often teaching us lesson of democracy. Some times they forget that “the people of the country know their need more than the elites”.

In the last few days there were much brouhaha about Arafat Rahman's scandal in a Singapore Bank, which was exposed by the Anti Corruption Commission in Bangladesh. This news is making big head lines in the newspapers.

My question to the Anti Corruption Authority is, “why they chose this particular time before the election for this investigation? Were they sleeping the last two years?”

The Bangladesh media is a champion to show their allegiance to the party in power. They can also predict which party can come to power and try to show their faithfulness by going some extra miles. Some Journalists have already started to cash on Arafat issue to be near to Awami League even by resorting to some false reporting.

Over the top the High Court is giving verdict against the Election commission (EC) to include detained leaders in the polls. Now the election commissioner was seen showing emotional reactions to the media on these decisions of high court. In fact he had found ways to voice his frustrations without showing contempt to court.


But our so called Elites are silent on these issues. I don’t know if I ever will see a sane political process in Bangladesh but for now most of the so called Bangladesh elites seem to have a moral bankruptcy.

IS IT THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF BAGGY GREEN ERA?

It was 1987 world cup. India and Pakistan hosted Reliance cup. West Indies was the one and only super power of world cricket. But there was tough competitions among all
Those test playing nations. But Australia was facing lean period before 87 world cup.
Two Men Bobby Simpson and Allan Border took the responsibility to groom up
The team. Basically After retirement of some very big names Australia did have a big problem. But Border –Simpson duo along with Cricket Australia able to build up
Infrastructure. 87 world cup was turning point. They started with Boon, Marsh, Dean Jones, Steve and Mark Waugh, Craig Mcdermott, Bruce Reid and on continuation we have got so many greats like Adam Gilchrist , Ricky Ponting, Mark Tailor, Shane Warne, Glenn Mcgrath list is unlimited.

But Still I will never say this Australian team is better than West Indies of 80s. They have taken cricket to a great heights. On the course of time Cricket has entered to the
Corporate world. Excessive commercialization of the game has effected the team badly.
Every time this game has to go under the table of Surgeon which is called ICC.
Basically Bowlers won matches. But they are scrutinized maximum time directly or indirectly. In Test matches ICC put limitations on bouncers. All wkts are batting friendly in any part of the world. Even surprisingly Sabina park one of the fastest wkts of world cricket hardly have any Grass. Durban, Waca ground , Oval are also changing
Their characters. In last decade Australian Attack was lead by Shane Warne and Glenn Mcgrath who was not as express bowler as his long term partner Jason Gillespie and Brett lee. Basically over all standard of Cricket is downwards with out any doubt.

Australia was enjoying the service of their golden generation. But right now the phase of transformation is coming up. To be vey Honest I don’t see better successors of Ricky Ponting , Adam Gilchrist , Mathew Haden, Shane Warne or Glen Mcgrath in current Aussies Squad. Those gentlemen were successfully raised the bottom even in better way
Than their Seniors.

Basically South Africa, India, England and Srilanka have every possibility to lead in next decade of world cricket.

Cricket is the game of great uncertainty. May be I am wrong but Still now I am not hearing any sound of the step of any Dale Steyn, Ishanth Sharma, Ajantha Mendis or Kevin Peterson , MS Dhoni in Australian Cricket who are the generation next cricketer.
We don’t hear Callipso music any more . May be Baggy green has complete its one great journey. May be New generation of Cricket started its Journey to infinitive with Some
One like Ajantha Mendis .
