What a Mighty fall

Australia, Manchester United...what do they have in common....
Winning streak, champions, great team........arrogance,attitude, unruly pride...
Well narrowing down more on this....both were kicked out without any mercy.
What would be the best example. Well this would the T20 world cup match and the UEFA cup final.
Australia were and are known to be the worlds best team and had everyone follow them. They boasted to have the best players and probably the best management. But this very pride and arrogance of being the best without any modesty made them to pack their bags and prepare for the Ashes. They had an experience when India had cut their winning streak and also England bashing them up to regain their ashes. From the first match, it was evident from all the team mates that they could easily surpass the West Indies players, who later showed them who's got a experience in cricket [Not to forget that cricket is a lifeline in the Caribbeans]. Today the Lankan Lions held their ground and devoured the kangaroos. They held their head high.

Manchester United. How can a ManU, as it is called, fan can forget the humiliating defeat it suffered at the hands of Barcelona. ManU played the UEFA cup final, which is known to be the coveted cup as it decides the European Champions, with its full team. Where as the Barca played with its rounded up squad. No one actually were confident about them. The betting companies across the Europe made fortunes as people betted heavy on ManU and later all went into the drain. It seemed that the Spanish lions came, roared and tammed the english pussies.....

This is called a might fall.....
