Pride Of England

England is a country which is rich in sports and gives best infrastructure and coaching to the players. The remuneration, benefits, training and acknowledgement they offer to the sportsmen is a thing to applaud. They are well-known for growing young talents into skilled players. They have the best in class facilities for almost all sports. They are a nation that truly appreciates the glory of sports. In fact, a lot of sports thrive in their lands. Their sportsmen can compete with other sporting super powers such as the US, Australia, and China.   

Although almost all kinds of Sports flourish in the UK, the most notable ones are: Football, Hockey, Rugby, Cricket, Motorsports, and Tennis. They are home to few memorable sporting events and tournaments that attract the fans worldwide. Few of their stadia are elegant that every sportsman would like to be someday. Let us look at some of the best sports ever graced by England.



Tennis – Wimbledon



The most prestigious Grand Slam with the biggest fan following. The venue where players became Legends. The flush green meadows offer the best platform for the best sporting talents. Winning the finals is a dream and lifting the trophy is prestigious. In the open era, this is perhaps the best individual sport to have graced the world ever. 

The heartbreak that causes to the losers of the finals is immense. Every point won gets applause and every match point saved triggers appreciation. The fans make the event so special. The love for the athletes and the respect they are offered makes the sport a visual delight. 

There were many rivalries that graced this event. Records were broken. Roger Federer, Bjorn Borg, Martina Navratilova, and Steffi Graf all became Legends here. 

Even the teen group is fought aggressively. Several talented kids from around the world wish to make a mark at this biggest festive fiesta. 

Undoubtedly, this is one of the best and oldest sport that ever-graced England.







Cricket – Lord’s



Another oldest and prestigious venue that hosts Cricket matches. Widely considered as the home of Cricket, this stadium has offered several ODI World Cup matches that are impossible to forget. Every Nation wants to come here and beat England in the Test matches. 

It gives a sense of pride to the players and the team to win matches against England in this venue. The England – Australia rivalry is too intense. The fans have witnessed some of the best sporting moments in this oldest venue. 

A century scored – A five wicket haul – is celebrated by the players and the country. This is perhaps the most beautiful stadium that made Cricket famous around the world.







Football – The Wembley and the Old Trafford (Manchester United)



Arguably the most famous Football stadia in the world with very few other venues that have the same popularity as this one has in World Football. Wembley is the heart of football while Old Trafford is the stadium that every player/fan in the world dreams to be at least once in his life. 

Wembley has hosted several European club finals making it the most prestigious venues. Winning the finals at Wembley gives enormous sense of pride. Pele once even called it the heart of Football. 

Manchester United is the most commercially successful club in Europe. They have the highest number of fans around the world. It is the most supported club in Europe. 

Both these venues glorified Football. These stadia have hosted few memorable games in English history.







Formula One – Britain Grand Prix



Yet another oldest Venue for F1 Racing. Highly competitive and most difficult to win. Awarded the best F1 Racing Championships many times.

Ferrari is the most successful constructor and Lewis Hamilton, tied for the most wins as a Driver. 

The venue is well-known for its elegance and curves. It is a treat to watch this sporting event.

[InFocus] Majid Majidi

We have tried to ascertain every event that happens in our life to science.  Even the music that Nolan feeds in his movies bear science. And I am a great fan of Nolan and his movies. But then there are few directors like Alejandro Gonzalaez Inarittu, Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini, Vittorio De Sica who treat Cinema as an art. They have all given importance to characters in the movie and their feelings. They all have expressed human emotions at their best. And here we have one who shows life at its simple and best. Characters defined with utmost simplicity – Majid Majidi. Majidi isn’t a man who complicates cinema. He flows like a thin air, like a pleasant wind. He doesn’t use twisted /webbed screenplays or confuses people with adverse characters. People who portray his films know exactly what the...
