Commonwealth Games... a multi-sport even organized once in every 4 yrs by the Commonwealth Games Federation where teams from member nations of the Commonwealth of Nations participate. Most of the nations are those that were ruled by the British Monarch in the past. 54 countries are members of the Commonwealth of Nations but around 70+ teams usually participate in the games as certain independent states of countries send in separate teams. By now anyone reading this article probably knows that the latest edition of this games is to be held in New Delhi in India starting on the 3rd of October n goes on for almost 2 weeks after which the Commonwealth Para Games will begin in the same venue. With less than a few days more to go for the Opening Ceremony, so much controversy has surrounded the sporting event!!! Infrastructure Problems, Health Problems, Accommodation, and mainly Corruption and many more..  During the last few weeks there i havent seen a single day pass by without a news ...

hello again... after a long time im posting in here... so after 64 games being played in a time span of 31 days, the FIFA World Cup 2010 comes to an end with Spain being crowned as champions... the first Safari football world cup and the second third world cup to be held in South Africa the first being the Rugby World Cup held back in 1995 and then the Cricket World Cup in 2003... well coming back to the topic, this world cup has been one world cup that the whole world will remember for a long time.. controversies, disappointments, tragedies, and you name it, it probably will have something to do with this edition of the world cup... 32 teams competed for the FIFA World Cup Trophy... and one team emerge as the winners with the Trophy and US$ 30 million as prize money.... on a personal view, before the tournament started, my prediction was that it would be Brazil and Argentina who would play the finals but then it was disappointment for me at the quarter finals.. but what to do....
