Chile vs Mexico Copa America 15-06-2015

Chile vs Mexico - Competition: Copa America, Group A
Match date: 15 June 2015
Venue:Nacional (Santiago, Chile, Republic of) 

Chile started their campaign with a 2-0 win over Ecuador courtesy of a Vidal penalty and a late goal from Edu Vargas.  Victory in this match would all but book Jorge Sampaoli's side's spot in the last eight, with all of the other sides in their group having dropped points in their opening matches.
Matías Fernández was shown a second yellow card in stoppage time and will now be suspended for the clash against Mexico so Jorge Valdívia should keep his place, potentially playing the role of a false nine. Felipe Gutierrez looks set to replace injured Marcelo Diaz in the starting line-up. Up-front, coach Sampaoli will continue with the dynamic duo Vargas-Sanchez.
Mexico team played out an uninspiring 0-0 draw with Bolivia on Friday as a yung and unexperienced squad has been take to the Copa America by manager Miguel Herrera, with next month's Gold Cup very much El Tri's priority. They have not enjoyed a great run in recent times as they have managed just one win in the last five matches, a  3-0 win over Guatemala in a friendly back in May..
Veteran defender Rafa Marquez is set to miss the remainder of the group phase through a leg injury and Carlos Salcedo and Juan Carlos Valenzuela are fighting for a chance to replace him. Javier Aquino was bright from the bench last time out and could feature. José de Jesús Corona will be getting the start in net instead of Guillermo Ochoa
Mexico boast a won 6, drawn 3 record in 12 previous matches against the Chileans but there has been little between the pair in recent years. Their last encounter was a drab goalless draw in September last year.

Probable lineups:
Chile: Bravo – Isla, Medel, Jara, Mena – Aranguiz, Diaz, Vidal – Valdivia, E. Vargas, A. Sanchez.
Mexico: Jose Corona – Salcedo, Marquez, Dominguez, Aldrete – Medina, Guemez – Fabian, Jesus Corona, Aquino – Jimenez.

Bitcoin's blockchain technology is set to usurp lawyers

Big technology companies such as Google employ relatively few people and pay little tax, in the tradition of multinational companies. At first blush, the arrival of digital currencies like bitcoin would seem to spell more in the way of gutting existing industries, in this case payments and financial services. IBTimes recently spoke with Coinsilium, a hybrid venture capital and business growth consultancy which nurtures a stable of early-stage blockchain innovations. It aims to be the first publicly listed firm to offer investors exposure to a basket of start-ups using distributed ledger technology in a range of applications. Executive chairman Cameron Parry believes there's a realm of possibilities that cannot yet be seen that will be "maybe 10 years in the future".  "The big way to go has always been advertising – you built up subscribers and then advertising was the route to revenues. But as more people use mobile devices you can't actually f...

Jaipur Pink Panthers, Abhishek Bachchan, Pro Kabaddi League, Kabaddi

Jaipur Pink Panthers' owner Abhishek Bachchan said his wife and actress Aishwarya Rai is not just an avid follower of the Pro Kabaddi League side as well as Indian Super League football franchise Chennaiyin FC that he owns but also offers him valuable inputs which aids his functioning as a franchise owner. Raider Jasvir Singh got four points for the Panthers from a single raid with 10 minutes left when he got a touch on the last two Mumba players standing to pack the rivals off for a second lona and two additional points. Things went neck to neck in the initial stage, the highlight being U Mumba captain Anup Kumar taking three rivals out to help his side take a 4-2 lead before the Panthers caught up and then jumped ahead to a two-point lead (8-6). For U Mumba, the points tally in raiding was expectedly led by captain Anup Kumar(11) but what swung the game the Panthers way was superior defending through which they secured 13 points as compared to their rivals'. Stout defe...

Cursory observers of political events in South Asia must be surprised at how quickly India-Pakistan relations, once seen to be on the upswing after a new government took over in India in 2014, have gone downhill in the last fortnight. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi unexpectedly invited all heads of South Asian nations for his swearing in, almost all eyes were on the cordiality between him and Pakistan's prime minister, Nawaz Sharif. Similarly, when he decided to drop by Lahore last December to wish Sharif birthday wishes as he flew back from Afghanistan, Modi appeared to signal a resolve to address the perpetually vexed relations between the two nations. Modi's visit to Lahore was followed by an attack on an important Indian air force base in the north Indian city of Pathankot by Jaish-e-Mohammad, or JeM, an outlawed militant group based in Pakistan. The Pakistan government's condemnation and its offer to assist with the investigations was seen to be an important ...
