Here is Full list of who is taking what after a match:

Montoya: ham and cheese pizza
Pique: Nutella sandwich and fruit
Rakitic: sushi and fruit
Busquets: pizza with ham and fruit

In Fifa 2015, Arjen Robben also dived but far more spectacularly than he could ever have done in real life.

Weligton accused Lionel Messi Accused of Calling him a 'Son of a B---h'

Lionel Messi was being grabbed by the throat by Malaga defender Weligton during FC Barcelona draw against Malaga and Weligton was just shown a yellow card for the offense.



As per bleacherreport.com, Weligton was quoted as saying, 
Malaga defender Weligton has claimed Lionel Messi called him a "son of a b---h" during the pair's fiery exchange on Wednesday night.
and Weligton also added that,
It was a play where I tried to make the wall, I blocked him and unintentionally touched his face. It wasn’t intentional. He then went looking for me and said to me, ‘hijo de p--a.’ That’s when I grabbed his face. These are things that stay on the pitch.
As soon as the later quote is being said by him, it shows he tried to give an excuse for his action and let the things that happened on the pitch get spread everywhere by saying this to the media. Yes he is trying to defend himself against the social media backlash by turning himself into a victim and that he was provocated to commit that offense on Messi. But if he wanted things to stay on the pitch, why the heck he has to say anything about it to the media at all. That's what you called a hypocrite.

If Messi did said that then it is wrong, but at least he didn't attack him physically but if Weligton said his own throat grabbing action is provocated but that also mean what Messi has said was also provocated by Weligton doing something not in the spirits of the game.

And he at least deserved a red card for what he has done, the referee has been too lenient on him. And there are no proof that Messi has called him that but his actions are for all to see.

Back in 2009, look what Weligton did, he stepped on Messi when the ball isn't in play and Messi is down on the ground. 


After seeing this, I don't see how he don't deserve to be called that. He is a dirty player.

Redmi 1S India received and used

Xiaomi Redmi 1S, ordered on 2nd Sept 2014, was received on 15 Sept 2014. It came with one charger with usb to micro-usb plug cable, three screen protectors and two micro-sim adapters.
When one tried to make call, it seemed sluggish for me the first time I clicked on call, surely a phone with 1gb ram and quad core processor shouldn't be showing that lag in the call process. And the call process managed to hang for a few times, where one is given option to wait or kill the process, yes that's not promising when I am just trying to call. And in one such time, it managed to hang the phone completely and press anywhere do not register so have to restart the phone. That's not really a promising sign.

Update: 17 Sept 2014: After some use, one have not faced any issue related to lag in phone call process. So it is a one off so far and nothing to worry about. The phone is working fine and is a good deal for those who are looking for a smartphone with the given specs and at this price range.

Apple iPhone 6 and 6 plus unveiled today

Apple has unveiled the new 4.7inch screen size iPhone 6 and the bigger 5.5 inch screen size iPhone 6 Plus that everyone is waiting for. At last we now have a bigger screen iPhone and hardcore Apple fans don't have to make do with the limited screen space and if they indeed need the bigger screen space then they have to look at the Samsungs, LGs and others but now they can go for the iPhone 6 Plus.



In what respect the new iPhones are better than previous generation?

1. bigger screen
2. slimmer
3. camera more powerful
4. improved battery life
5. nfc to be used by apple pay for one tap payment at nfc supported cash registers.

What is more important to many is the price of iPhone 6 Plus' 2 years contract pricing.

  16GB iPhone 6 plus = $299
  64GB iPhone 6 plus = $399
128GB iPhone 6 plus = $499

The pre-order will start on 12 Sept 2014.
The shipping will start on   19 Sept 2014.

One would expect the larger iPhone 6 Plus to eat into the market share of Samsung note range as people who love iPhone but want a bigger screen can go for an iPhone at last, I personally found the iPhone 5s screen to be too small for what people do today with their smartphones.

Jaguar to launch its cheapest car new model XE

Indian conglomerate TATA group owned Jaguar will be launching its cheapest car model to date which will be the Jaguar XE. Their main target market are the young drivers including younger women. So one would expect them to come out with a more feminine color option. It will be competing with the likes of BMW 3 series. It is expected to be at the showroom by the year 2015 and the expected starting price is around UK pounds 27,000.

Jaguar XE pink color for women?
 It has got a nice design, it will provide stiff competition to BMW, Audi, Mercedes in that segment.



Redmi 1S India shipped not yet received

Xiaomi Redmi 1S that has been ordered on 2nd Sept 2014 and claimed to have been shipped on 9th Sept 2014 after a delay of 1 week to get it imported probably. Check out the order status below.


Update 13 Sept 2013: The shipment is stucked at the point where it is expected to be received at the motherhub in the city in which one lives in. And the expected delivery date is 12 Sept 2014 and one still have not received the shipment concerned. Did someone at the airport stole the batch of shipment meant for the particular city, or is the shipment status faked because everyone is calling flipkart inquiring about the order status and why it has been so for so many days, so they decide to make the shipment appear to move to silent the customers for a while and obviously they cant make it appear to arrive at the mother hub nearest to your place so it still say expected after 2-3 days as you can go and check and they will be found out.

Redmi 1S India order still not yet shipped

Flipkart Redmi 1s order

The Xiaomi Redmi 1S sales took place on 2nd Sept 2014, and the order was as of that date, till now that is 7th Sept 2014, it has not been shipped.



Flipkart and Xiaomi claimed that there are 40000 units of Redmi 1S put up on sale as on the sale date, and they claimed to have sold out in so and so seconds, but how can you sell out something which you don't even have physical stocks of in any warehouse within the country? If they have real physical stock of the said phone then they would have packed them and shipped them already and those who have ordered would have received the phone by now.



After the sale is finished, then only they will get the said phones imported from Xiaomi's own or outsourced factories in China, so no wonder it takes some time for the imports to arrive in India.

Update 13 Sept 2014:
On searching Zauba.com for the import shipment data of Xiaomi Redmi 1S phone, it shows that the said 40000 phones put on sale on 2nd Sept 2014 were imported in two batches, the first batch of 20000 on 4th Sept 2014 and the rest of the 20000 on 5th Sept 2014. So can they claim a sold out if the phone isnt in flipkart warehouse at the beginning of sale on 2nd Sept 2014? or the shipment is meant for a latter date sale?

With this shipment data, it looks like they import the shipment only after the claimed soldout of 40000 phones
on 2nd Sept 2014.
