Rijkaard replaces Korkmaz as the new Manager of Galatasaray

Galatasaray have appointed Frank Rijkaard as coach on a two-year contract, the Dutchman replacing Bülent Korkmaz after his resignation was accepted. He was out of coaching since he and Barcelona apart ways in June 2008. He had won 1 Champions League, 2 La Liga and 2 Spanish Cup. He also managed Sparta Rotterdam and Netherlands. With Netherlands in EURO 2000 he played in semifinals and lost to Italy on penalties. He gained lots of football authorities respect in the EURO 2000. I think it's going to be a very succesfull business between him and Galatasaray.

Howard's 40 point takes Magic to Finals Since 1995

I watched the game live and it was probably the most boring game of the series. I don't what happened in the Cavs locker room before the match but something was surely missing. While everyone expected a close match Orlando took the lead from the start and never gave it back.

Where was Lebron "MVP OF THE YEAR" where was Mike Brown "COACH OF THE YEAR" ?. I mean Cavs where totally frustrated. Lebron should have taken responsibility and control the game of Cavs but he didn't so Magic won the game without even pushing themselves to the limit like in the first 5 games.

Anyway I'm happy it's the second time a Turkish player has got in to Finals. Hedo has the most experience in playoffs besides his teammates. He also missed 2 opportunities to play in Finals against L.A Lakers. So it will be a revenge for him. Both of them was very dramatic. While he was playing in Sacramento, they were leading the series 3-1 and they missed to use their advantage. Second one was when he was playing for the Spurs, Derek Fisher scored 2 points while 0.4 seconds were left and knocked out the Spurs.

6th game was Dwight's show. He scored 40 points, 14 boards and added 4 assists. Also he shot 12/16 from the free throw line. Rashard helped him with 18 points and 8 boards while Pietrus came of the bench and added 14 points. Lebron scored 22 points. It was the only time he was behind 35 points in this series.

Of course the favorites are Lakers, but in semifinals Celtics were the favorites Magic beat them, in the Conference Finals Cavs were the favorites and again Magic beat them. So I have 2 words for you ; BEAT L.A.

27 Year of History ( Satire )

2 weeks ago Fenerbahce lost it's 6th final in the last 27 years. They one lost to Genclerbirligi, 2 times to Galatasaray and 3 times to Besiktas JIMNASTIC CLUB. Last they won was against Mersin Idman Yurdu who now doesn't even exist. In these Finals they conceded 23 goals. Here in my school non of my friends that support Fenerbahce haven't been able to see the Fortis Turkish Cup while I saw Galatasaray lift the cup 5 times and also played 2 other finals.

It think it's really hard for the Fenerbahce Fans because their biggest rival has 10 more cups than them. Most of the players in the Fenerbahce squad didn't see the cup either. It's really a sad position to be in concediring that they talk about them as the best team in Turkey. But at least they are starting to accept their failure in the Turkish Cup, most of my friends are saying that ''I hope I will see a cup before I die.''

Also Besiktas media made lots of fun after their 4-2 victory against their arch rivals Fenerbahce. Some examples ;

• What happens after Fenerbahce wins the Turkish Cup? The guy will turn the Play Station off.

• Holosko's daughter saw the Turkish Cup after 3 days she was born but 26 year old Fenerbahce Fans couldn't.
• If Fenerbahce achieves to win the Turkish Cup, probably the modern age will end and the a new age will begin, concediring that this event will be hard to believe for the humanity.
  

Happy 27th anniversary TURKEY'S BIGGEST CLUB.

Magic One Step Ahead

Orlando Magic defeated Cleveland Cavaliers 99 to 89 and took 2-1 lead in the series. It was a really physical game, there were 58 personal fouls called, 2 technicals and 1 flagrant. Also in the first half Mo Williams left eye split open by Magic's Anthony Johnson when he caught him with his elbow. Williams returned to the game with 4 stiches. James scored 41 on just 11-of-28 shooting. Howard scored 24 and 14 of it was from the free throw line. Alston helped him with 18. Hedo scored ony 1 field goal yet he found himself with the only double-double in the game, scoring 13 points and having 10 boards. With this win Magic gained a slender advantage in the series but still they have to win the 4th game if they want to close the series early because Cleveland have much more potential then they need to make the series 3-2 in the game 5 if they win the 4th game.

Ranieri Sacked

Juventus Board decided to apart ways with Claudio Ranieri while only 2 weeks left to the end of Serie A. Juve didn't win a single game in the Serie A for the last 7 weeks so the board took action and sacked Ranieri who had a contract for the end of 2010. Juve is 1 point ahead of Fiorentina standing at the 3rd position and Ciro Ferrera will lead Juve for the last 2 weeks.

Hedo's Double-Double Knocks Out Champions Early

It was expected to be a close match, possibly as the Celtics will run out as the winners but Magic controlled the game from the beginning to the end and won the game 101-82. With this score Magic won the series 4 to 3 and knockout last years champs. Celtics small comebacks didn't work out as the Magic scored 13 out of 21 from the three point range. Hedo Turkoglu scored 25 and added 12 assists while Dwight Howard helped him with 16 boards and 12 points. Ray Allen's 23 point didn't saved Celtics and so on Magic will face healthy Cavaliers that have been waiting nearly a week for their next opponents. The 1st match will be at Quicken Loans Arena on wednesday.
