Tonight against Birmingham City at Stamford Bridge, Fernando TorTorresres may score his first goal for Chelsea.

Sooner or later, the £50 million pound-man must break his duck and show his new employers what he is really made of. Yet thus far, his transfer has been a near-disaster. No goals in twelve games, Torres has failed to gel with his new teammates while his record-breaking arrival has seen Chelsea dumped out of Europe and fall away in the title race.

Torres clearly can cut the mustard, and was probably the world’s best striker in 2008, but has not been the same player for the last season Togel Singapore and a half. He was not firing on all cylinders in South Africa and looked listless for Liverpool in his final year there. A decline seems to have set in from the day Spain lost 0-2 to the USA in the 2009 Confederations Cup semi-final.

 

The Spaniard now seems to have lost his exquisite first touch and his shooting sights are askew. Not only has he yet to find the net despite benefiting from one of the best attacks around, he has not looked even close to scoring. His aim is cock-eyed while he is struggling, in the vernacular, to trap a bag of cement.

 

What is going on? Nobody really seems to know. Torres is hardly past it at age 27, won the World Cup last summer and has not yet forgotten scoring the winning goal in the Euro 2008 final. He is a happily-married man who is known for staying at home with his family instead of hitting the town. He is fabulously rich. So why can’t Fernando suddenly play football?

Confidence is the old chestnut of an excuse for a lack of form or a run …

 

 

 

Litigation initiated in New South Wales, Australia by Sportsbet yielded a positive result this week when a federal court ruled that the way in which horse racing authorities collect fees is discriminatory against major bookmakers.

 

Justice Perram ruled that attempts to exempt the TAB and local NSW bookies from the fee were protectionist.

 

As a result, he upheld arguments put by Darwin-based corporate bookmaker Sportsbet, which claimed all interstate bookies were discriminated against.

 

Racing NSW were ordered to pay back Sportsbet more than $2 million in fees collected.

 

The Australian newspaper reports that Sportsbet’s challenge was against a 1.5% fee on the amount of “back bets” placed through wagering operators conducting business in NSW.
