Following Spain's 2010 World Cup final triumph over the Netherlands, Uruguay striker Diego Forlan picked up the Golden Ball award while young Germany forward Thomas Mueller took the Best Young Player accolade as well as the Golden Boot.
Atletico Madrid striker Forlan proved to be one of the star performers in South Africa, beating off competition from the likes of Wesley Sneijder and Spain hitman David Villa to be crowned the tournament's best player - as voted for by the media.
Forlan was, however, pipped to the post when it came to the Golden Boot, with Thomas Mueller's five goals and three assists for Germany edging him ahead of Silver Boot winner Villa and Holland playmaker Sneijder who picked up the bronze award.

Andres Iniesta grabbed a late winner in extra-time as Spain won the World Cup for the first time after beating Netherlands 1-0.
Iniesta struck with four minutes remaining to settle a tetchy encounter which saw English referee Howard Webb brandish a record 12 yellow cards, plus a red for Everton's John Heitinga on a night when Holland shamed the 'Total Football' for which they have been synonymous since the first of what is now three final defeats in 1974.
Webb deserves a huge amount of credit for not setting a new record for red cards, let alone yellow, the first of which he showed to Robin van Persie in the 14th minute.
Pretty soon combative midfield duo Mark van Bommel and Nigel de Jong joined him for challenges that could easily have ended their evening. |

Boy hates mushy love stories, doesn’t believe in love and all those things that come along with it whereas the girl is a big believer in romance and is living her own perfect love story with a childhood pal. Boy meets this girl and don’t get along but eventually love strikes!
First for the girl but the boy rejects it explaining that he only thought of her as a friend. Soon love strikes him too but by then it is too late. He tries to woo her back and ends up doing all those mushy things that he hated in the first place.
Punit Malhotra’s debut directorial venture, I Hate Luv Storys works well when it tries to poke fun at these elements but eventually falls in the same clichéd trap when it comes to delivering as a film.
I Hate Luv Storys’ main lead character, J (Imran Khan) tries to poke fun of all the mush and romance ideas that generate from Bollywood. Ironically, working with Bollywood’s King of mush, filmmaker Veer Kapoor, he barely manages to keep a straight face about all that’s happening around him.

काठमाडौं, जेष्ठ ११ - पूर्व राजा ज्ञानेन्द्र शाहले आफूले राष्ट्रका लागि केहि गर्ने समय आउने बताएका छन् । तर अहिले भने त्यो बेला भइनसकेको उनले बताएका छन् ।
'त्यो समय आउँदैछ, अहिले चाँहि भएको छैन । आउला भन्नेजस्तो लाग्छ मलाई,' अहिलेको राजनीतिक अवस्थाबारे तपाईंको के भूमिका हुन्छ भनी इमेज टेलिभिजनले सोधेको जिज्ञासामा उनले भने, 'भूमिकासँगको अन्तर्वार्तामा उनले भने, 'त्यो पनि उहाँहरु (राजनीतिक दलका नेता) हरुमा भर पर्दछ, चुप लागेर बस भन्छन् भने हामी चुप लागेर बस्छौं ।' विवादमा पर्ने भयले राजनीतिक प्रसङ्गमा खुल्न नचाहेका पूर्व राजाले दरवारबाट हट्दा आफूलाई अन्याय भएको बताए । 'म पनि सर्वसाधारण हुँ, अदालतमा जाने अधिकार थियो,' उनले भने, 'मलाई सल्लाह पनि दिइएको थियो तर सरकारको मर्यादा राखेर अदालत गइनँ ।' पूर्व राजाले राजसंस्थाले कहिल्यै पनि शक्ति नचाहेको दाबी गरे । 'राससंस्थाले कहिल्यै पनि पपुलारिटी चाहेको थिएन, यूनिटी मात्र खोजेको हो,' उनले भने । पूर्व राजाले हिन्दू राज्य र राजसंस्थाबारे सोचेर निर्णय गर्नुपर्ने बताउँदै ८० प्रतिशत जनताको मतलाई पन्छाउन नमिल्ने बताए । |
