World Cup 2010: Boucan in the stands!

If you watched the football match France - Uruguay to the World Cup last night, you certainly have been annoyed by a horrible noise coming from the stands ... This hell sound has a name: Vuvuzela !

As you can read on Wikipedia, FIFA had planned to ban its use in stadiums for the 2010 World Cup. Indeed, the unbearable noise caused by these horns of the devil had already caused problems during the Confederation Cup in 2009. However, the SAFA (South African Football Association) has defended the vuvuzela, saying it was essential to the atmosphere of stadiums! (Ah ...)

Here! The good news is that if the France team loses too early in the competition, the consolation prize will no longer have to endure that damn racket!

What strategies are the best footballing nations in the world?

Here is a diagram that I had already seen and which spring ( pdviz.com ) this year for the World Cup (It's still funny):

World Cup Soccer - The different strategies

Roland Garros made ​​you want to play the apprentice Rafael Nadal (Maybe not him this year ...) Roger Federer? If you live in Paris or the Paris region, many tennis courts are available for very attractive prices.

• 6 € 50 for outdoor courts, see 4 € reduced price *.
• 12 € 50 for indoor courts, 7 € * reduced price.

It is also possible to take cards including 10 hours of game prices are then:

• € 50 for the outdoor courts, reduced price € 28 * (ie 5 € / h, or 2 € 80 / h).
• € 100 for indoor courts, 53 € * reduced price (10 € / h, or 5 € 30 / h).

* The discounted rate is reserved to the people of Paris less than 26 years.

Therefore very low cost when compared to thirty euros that require some gyms like Forest Hill Paris for 1h on a short game!

To access information and reservations for various tennis courts available, a website was set up: Paris Tennis . The site registration is mandatory but is very fast.

Once registered and logged in, you can choose when and where you want to play. The short list of available according to your criteria are displayed. Be careful though, in times of good weather, all courts are often reserved. So two tricks to avoid being duped:

• The short opens booking one week in advance. So be the first to book the court! If you want to book a Wednesday afternoon, one must log onto the site on Wednesday morning of last week. Early on, courts are often available.
• It is not very penalizing for a registrant to miss a reservation. So often, if time gate at midday, or if there are problems in public transport, you can be certain (or almost ... Well 90% of the time in my experience staff. The 10% the remaining time, come home to unwind in jogging ) To find a short available without a reservation. Then simply arrive a good 20 minutes before the start time and introduce you to take home for the first tennis court released.

Regarding the quality of land, I confess that I have to test that the courts Faluère, near the Bois de Vincennes, which are in very good condition. The person who introduced me to this site has tested several others in Paris and has apparently never been disappointed.

A good plan!

If you follow Roland Garros on France 2, you probably had to see the lovely Tatiana Golovin.

Private competition due to injury for several months, the professional tennis player was temporarily converted. It sports consultant for public television channel, the time of the competition on clay.

Appeared on television more often tend to get irritated than anything else. And that's pretty amazing. I am a fan of beautiful girls with blond hair, it is the first time. Usually, just the physical. Especially on television. Only there, his interventions appear too often the pitcher, see too pretentious.

de gains cumulés; des photos à en faire baver tous les membres du sexe opposé de la planète; Consultante France 2). I do not reproach her, she has accomplished in 21 years a lot more than I do during my life (5 years of professional tennis career, $ 2, 000, 000 of accumulated earnings; of photos in to drool all members of the opposite sex on the planet; Consultant France 2). She just this thing of "I'm Mrs. Perfect" that makes it unbearable to me télévisuellement. Not you?

Following the article on the tennis players the highest paid , I thought it would be interesting to do the equivalent with the best male players in the past 10 years.

Not surprisingly, one that is topped Roger Federer, with total gains of $ 50,777,919 (last updated on 19/09/2009).

• Pete Sampras: $ 43,280,489
• Andre Agassi: $ 31,152,975
• Boris Becker: $ 25,080,956
• Rafael Nadal: $ 25,006,295
• Lleyton Hewitt: $ 17,821,920
• Andy Roddick: $ 15,924,752
• Gustavo Kuerten: $ 14,779,188
• Jim Courier: $ 14,034,132
  
• Marat Safin: $ 13,960,088
• Carlos Moya: $ 13,343,688
  
• John McEnroe: $ 12,532,132

Regarding the French players, it seems that whoever won the most money throughout his career is Fabrice Santoro, thanks to its longevity: $ 9,675,159. We then find:

• Sebastien Grosjean: $ 8,032,116
• Cedric Pioline: $ 6,921,029
  
• Arnaud Clement: $ 6,016,028
• Guy Forget: $ 5,669,934
• Michael Llodra: $ 4,405,030
  
• Richard Gasquet: $ 3,978,952
• Henri Leconte: $ 3,917,596
  
• Yannick Noah: $ 3,440,660

Gilles Simon, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Gael Monfils have all three earned about $ 2.5 million in tournament winnings.

On the site of the WTA , it is possible to see gains (prize money) accumulated by the various players in the tournament.

Thus, we can see for example that the champions of the yellow ball in recent years are filled their searches:

• Serena Williams: $ 23,628,104
• Venus Williams: $ 22,502,918
• Lindsay Davenport: $ 22,144,735
• Steffi Graf: $ 21,895,277
• Martina Hingis: $ 20,130,657
• Justine Henin: $ 19,461,375

With regard to young players, we can see that the current stars of tennis have a few more tournaments to win before he amassed such sums of money. Maria Sharapova, Ana Ivanovic Jelena Jankovic and $ 12,169,281 respectively were raised, $ 6,365,164 and $ 7,051,374.

pour Mary Pierce . As for French players, the best of the past decade are not to be pitied with $ 14,459,092 for Amelie Mauresmo (who still plays) and $ 9,793,119 for Mary Pierce.

These figures do not include sponsors. With these, some players reap much more money than the earnings of tournaments. The beautiful Maria Sharapova would hit so close to ~ $ 26 million.

Surfing on a U.S. news site, I came across an ad that I found quite funny.

"Hey pal! You also want to maximize your form to work? "

Lance Armstrong pills

"It's not that beautiful? "

This commercial announcement is proof of the good image of the athlete Lance Armstrong in the country of Mickey.

When you see the size that is out there the case of cannabis joint of Michael Phelps ( several hundreds of newspaper articles severely punishing this act ) or the case of doping of A-Rod (Same story) ... One wonders if everything goes smoothly at Disneyland.
