range of soccer gifts and items that will please even the most discerning buyer.

Champions League: Barcelona lost to Chelsea's Drogba
Chelsea vs Barcelona, with a goal from Didier Drogba in injury time of
the first part (45 +2), secured a valuable 1-0 win against Barcelona in
the first leg of the semifinals of the Champions League, leaving the
defender the title against the ropes.
That goal of the African player in one of the few occasions of the Blues before a superior Barca in the game and where Pedro Rodriguez drove a ball at bat in the 90 +3, forced the Catalans to a comeback on the back Tuesday 24 at the Camp Nou.
Chelsea, only sixth in the Premier League now, strengthens their hopes of playing in the final by eliminating the defending champion, which also serve to exact revenge in the semifinals of 2009, where the Catalans went through a goal from Andres Iniesta in stoppage end.
Before the turn of the challenge, Barcelona will have to lift the mood to play Saturday against the Spanish league leaders Real Madrid in the Nou Camp in a key match for the team, which is four points of the white .
Messi, scorer of the Champions League with a record of 14 goals, could not extend your account and German Mario Gomez (12), who scored a goal on Tuesday, is about two. The Argentine also continues with his 'curse' to Chelsea, who never scored in seven games played before them.
The winner of this tie will rival in Saturday's final in Munich on May 19 the team that is imposed on the pulse between Bayern and Real Madrid, in which the Germans were ahead 2-1 in the first leg on Tuesday their stadium. you can watch this match fee Chelsea vs Barcelona Live stream of the 2nd leg with highlights.

How To Play Fantasy Football Platoon Situations
Aside from the word “injury”, there is no other word more feared in
fantasy sports than the word “platoon”. It has been much more common in
fantasy baseball with Outfielders and Closers for many years, but the
offensive approach in the NFL has been evolving for some time. We are
now seeing platoon situations commonly used in the NFL backfields. The
polite way of describing the use of multiple running backs is “running
back by committee”. No matter how you term the approach, Platoon
situations can be fantasy football team killers.
We have come to expect starting running backs to produce on a weekly basis, which is why they normally make up 80% of the players drafted in the first two rounds of standard-scoring fantasy football leagues. However, with over half of the league employing a Committee approach to their backfield, it is proving wise to change your drafting strategy. You can now use your first three picks on one of the top quarterbacks and two of the top wide receivers. This leaves plenty of productive running backs to draft from these committees, some of who could be the primary workhorse during the season in the event of an injury.
Teams With RB Committees To Consider
• Detroit Lions - Kevin Smith, Jahvid Best, Maurice Morris. You should target Best as your fourth round pick. There is a good chance that Kevin Smith will see little time after coming off an injury. The Lions have a good opportunity to see if they made the right choice with Best in this year’s draft.
• Carolina Panthers - DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart. Williams will be drafted in the first three rounds. Stewart is a number 1 back in most offenses, but is 1A here and is coming off of a foot injury. Over 1000 yards and double-digit TDs is very nice so grab him if Best is not available.
• Miami Dolphins – Ronnie Brown, Ricky Williams. Brown always has great games, but is too injury-prone. Ricky had a fantastic year after Brown went down last year and has plenty left in his legs. Grab either of these, Williams first, should they be available next.
• Arizona Cardinals – Chris Wells, Tim Hightower. The Cardinals will run much more this year with Leinart at the helm. Both running backs are productive and you cannot go wrong with either. Your preference should depend on your scoring system. Wells will get more carries, but Hightower will see more passes floated his way as well as more action around the goal line.
• Cleveland Browns - Montario Hardesty, Jerome Harrison. The Browns will be horrible, but they will continue to run the ball a lot, especially with Jake Delhomme at QB. Harrison had a monster final three games of 2009, but Hardesty seems to be getting drafted in the same location as Harrison (rounds 6-7). Hardesty seems to be the carrier the Browns would like to see succeed, but he is already dinged up. So, I would rank them equally at this point and consider getting both of them if you have the chance.
• Seattle Seahawks - Julius Jones, Justin Forsett, Leon Washington. Jones is way too unreliable and unproductive. Washington is coming off a devastating injury. So, Forsett would be the only back that I would draft. You could steal him in rounds 8-10 and end up with a possible number 1 RB.
Teams With RB Committees To Consider only when finishing your skill positions;
• Houston Texans - Steve Slaton, Ben Tate, Ryan Moats, Arian Foster. After butterfingers, lack of production and injuries last year, Slaton should not be considered before the last few rounds. I truly think the rookie, Ben Tate, will be used sparingly and may be the first player drafted from this committee. So, your may strike gold with Arian Foster in low double-digit rounds.
• Oakland Raiders - Darren McFadden, Michael Bush. Both of these guys are only worth a risk in round 10 or later. With a more talented QB running the show, Oakland’s offense may actually score some points. Which RB is the better choice is yet-to-be-determined. I have a slight lean on Michael Bush.
• Washington Redskins - Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson, Willie Parker. I don’t think Fast Willie makes the team. With Portis coming off a knee injury, he is a risk and should only be considered around round 10. Larry Johnson may be cooked but is worth a gamble in the later rounds. Hey, someone needs to get the carries in the Nation’s Capital…just who and how successful they will be is a true mystery.

How to Keep Your Feet in Good Condition
It was likely for someone to hear that "fur is able to stretch",
however, it would be best for them to slip the saying from their memory.
You have experienced a lot of foot sickness as well as aches at the
time you wear out a pair of shoes that are tight. On the other hand, too
long or too loose shoes also will lead to ankle fatigue. And it will
seem to be at odds as well. You can suppose the case that a little girl
puts on the shoes of her mother. In addition, it also will bring
additional negative effects to your feet, seems to wear slippers.
You should buy shoes at night and after a few minutes' walk. By this time, your feet will fully expand, and it will be close to the maximum size. What is more, when you take a airplane or reach to a higher height locality, your feet will be bigger. If you are shopping in a store with warm-hearted hospitality, and then you had better ask to try on shoes with three sizes that are closest to your own feet size. For instance, you ought to fit on shoes with number six and a half, number 7 and number seven and a half supposing you put on shoes with number 7. The minimum number of shoes you wear should be very tight and the largest number of shoes you wear should be very loose.
At this time, shoes with middle number will be the most appropriate one, but the shoes must be a little bigger than your feet. Or it will be proper for you to purchase a half bigger shoes in size. You must remember, you can not buy tight shoes to wear, even a little tighter. You should measure the sizes of your two feet. Because the sizes of left foot and right foot of a lot of people are different. This is the reason that why it is common for you to see some people wear custom-made shoes. If there are differences between the sizes of your two feet, it will be OK for you to wear flat-heeled shoes, but it will not be OK for you to wear high heel shoes.
You ought to purchase high-heeled shoes and boots for two pairs. A pair of shoes can ensure you that it will be suitable for your right foot, and the other pair of shoes can ensure you that it will be proper to your left foot. It is worth doing so, after all, buying another pair of shoes will be cheaper than seeing a doctor. It is vital that there is no need for you to suffer from a lot of sores. I have to stress once more that it is not able for you to see high-heeled shoes' slight distinction in size. You can also remove the size sign under your shoes or cover it with other things.
What's more, it will be quite difficult for you to find appropriate high-heeled shoes provided that the width of your feet is not B, which is the middle number. B is the general number of nearly all high-heeled shoes. You can just purchase shoes within a limit, which is rather small. The best way is to go to a very large shoes store, because there are shoes with all sorts of widths that are provided for you to choose. You can also try to buy "wide number" shoes through the mail order or the Internet. Although it is not easy to find, the custom-made factories will also be a choice if all methods can not solve it.
