Liverpool vs Barcelona, UCL Semi-Final (2nd leg), 7th May 2019

Times Barcelona could’ve scored:

Pic 1: Jordi Alba with the best chance for the Spanish side in the final few seconds prior to half time. Alisson Becker hared out from the goal-line to make an imposing point-blank save. Very important, Liverpool were still only 1-0 up - Alba dinking his shot as opposed to shooting would have meant *five* required goals for Liverpool to secure a win. Minimum.

Pic 2: Racist dickhead Luiz Suarez collects the ball and shoots towards the net with only Becker to beat. Sadly, though, the cannibalistic bigoted twat completely scuffed his shot and bobbled a ball towards Becker’s clutch that wouldn’t have caused alarm in your granny. The antagonistic cheating bellend promised he wouldn’t celebrate a goal at Anfield and he stuck to it - but only because he missed a golden chance (with Liverpool still 1-0 up only) to legitimately not-celebrate.

Pics 3 and 4: Lionel Messi aims to replicate his admittedly stunning Nou Camp free-kick in front of a jeering Liverpool crowd. Liverpool were 3-0 to the good here, which may have put Messi off his stroke a little, but even so his attempt to beat a wounded and vengeful Liverpool defence and erstwhile red-faced goalkeeper came to nothing. Even his Nou Camp free-kick was an inch away from being effectively derailed off course - the wall leaping even further into the clouds one week later ensured the free-kick was smuggled harmfully away.

Pic 5: This could still have killed off Liverpool. Messi pulls the trigger having left behind the defence but finds Alisson Becker more than prepared. The Anfield crowd breathe a huge collective sigh of relief, yet again.

After the iconic corner kick and Origi finish, Barcelona were humbled to the point of not posing any further threats, even despite one single goal doing enough to throw Liverpool out of the runnings. The collapse was complete.

Significance of Jersey Numbers for Sports Teams

Ever thought of the significance of the numbers on the sports jersey, and where does the numbering come from?

A number on the jersey of the player would refer to his position in most of the sports. The numbers help the fans and referees to easily identify the position of a player on the field. In 1916, the Cleveland Indians were the first baseball team to use the numbers in their team uniforms.

Soccer

The soccer players in 1924 took the trends of the number further while playing in the National Challenge Cup. The soccer team was given numbered uniform based on the position in the team – where the goalkeeper had the number one jersey, defenders wearing two through six, and offensive players wearing seven through 11.

Jersey number 10 in the soccer team is given to the central attacking midfielder positioned just behind the forward player. Legendary players have won the number 10 in soccer - Diego Maradona and Pele (Edson Arantes do Nascimento).

Football

The jersey numbers were also used by professional football match by English premier league clubs Sheffield and Arsenal in August 1928. Again, jersey number 1 to 11 was used according to their position in the game. Again, the goalkeeper of the football team wore the jersey numbered one, defenders wore 2,3 and 4, central defender wore number 5, the midfielders wore number six, seven, eight, ten and eleven. The number nine reserved for the striker.

Over the period, the numbers assigned to the position have changed. But, the basic trend of numbering stands true even today. For example, the number one jersey will be worn by the goalkeeper on the most modern soccer games or football team.

In football, a rough 4-4-2 would look as:

1. Goalkeeper

2. Right-back

3. Left-back

4. Centre midfielder

5. Centre-back

6. Centre-back

7. Left-winger

8. Centre midfielder

9. Centre forward

10. Centre forward

11. Right-winger

In football, players are given a range of numbers. For example, a quarterback may choose a number from 1 to 19. The wide receiver may choose to wear a number between 10 and 19 or even between 80 and 89. The only condition is that no two players on a team can wear the same numbers.

Jersey number ten is the most iconic in the football and is being worn by football legends such as Diego Maradona, Zinedine Zidane, Lionel Messi, Pele, and Dennis Bergkamp and many more players. Number 9 is worn by Ronaldo Luis, Luiz Suarez, KarimBenzema, Allan Shearer, and SamuelEto’o, Tores who are the forwards and pure strikers.

Some football players had their favorite numbers worn on the football games. Yakub opted for jersey number 22 in 2007 Everton, claiming the number to be the goal-scoring number. Yossi Benayoun, Chelsea had changed his number to 30, as it is double his lucky number 15.

Baseball

In baseball, though the numbers were assigned based on their position, it is no more the same now. The numbers have become an emotional attachment and superstition over the years of the game. The players stick to their preferred number. Johny Neves always swore the number seven, as the number seven when spelled backward is his last name. Again, David Wells, in honor of his favorite player Babe Ruth, always wore number three.

Uruguay remember 'miraculous' win over Ghana

Uruguay have remembered the country's miraculous win over Ghana to reach the 2010 FIFA World Cup semi-finals ten years ago.  The small South American nation defied logic to bundle Ghana out of the World Cup after Asamoah Gyan missed a last gap penalty to send the game into penalty shoot-out. Sulley Muntari put the Ghanaians ahead with a sleek finish on the stroke of the first half before Diego Forlán pulled parity on 54 minutes. Gyan, who a penalty specialist, was handed the chance to send the Africans into the last four after Luiz Suarez was sent off for preventing a goal bound with his hand. Ghana captain Stephen Appiah protested against the referee's decision to award the penalty, insisting a goal should have been awarded. With vuvuzelas reverberating the Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg, the iconic Ghana striker hit the cross bar to send Africans fans into "coma".
