Mexico vs Ecuador

Mexico vs Ecuador Copa America 19-06-2015 - Group A

Competition: Copa America - 2015 in Chile, Group A
Match date: 19 June 2015
Kick Off Time: 22:00 BST
Venue: Estadio El Teniente (Rancagua, Chile, Republic of) 

Mexico team have stuck up two draws so far in the group, a goalless draw against Bolivia and a 3-3 against Chile. The Mexicans have now won just one of their last six games played, which was a 3-0 win over Guatemala. In their eight previous Copa America campaigns, the Mexicans have only failed to advance beyond the group stages once. It’s likely that a draw here would be enough for Mexico to go through as one of the two best third placed finishers.
Mexico are expected to be without Marquez for this match. Adrian Aldrete has joined the former Barcelona's dfender on the sidelines. Matias Vuoso scored twice in the thrilling draw with Chile last time out and he is expected to partner Raul Jimenez up front.
Ecuador have been playing below expectations at the tournament in Chile. They opened the tournament with a 2-0 defeat against Chile and then suffered a second defeat, a 3-2 loss at the hands of Bolivia. They ave to beat Mexico and hope results go their way elsewhere if they are to avoid exiting the tournament.
Gustavo Quinteros could opt for a similar looking XI. Gabriel Achiller has overcome his injury and he is widely expected to keep his place in the starting XI. Juan Cazares and Renato Ibarra were introduced at the interval lasttime out and could start here.
These two sides have met on 22 previous occasions and Mexico have won 16 times while Ecuador only twice. They last met in a friendly earlier in the year when Chicharito Hernandez scored the only goal of the game.

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'.

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 ...
