Must-Have Smartphone Apps to Remain Immersed in the Sports You Love

0

Following sports used to be a matter of reading the paper and then listening in on the radio or watching it live on television. Nowadays, there’s a tremendous range of platforms that offer you brand new ways to immerse yourself in your favorite sports, and best of all, many of the best options are made conveniently available through your smartphone.

At TechnoSports, we know the power that we all have as sports fans with smartphones in our pockets. We’ve explored a tremendous range of sports apps over the years, and so, we can confidently say that the following are top-class apps which help you to immerse yourself in your favorite sport, keeping you engaged and immersed between the live events.

In the loop with everything cricket

As one of the biggest and most well-supported sports in the world, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that savvy app developers have come up with an ocean of mobile solutions for cricket fans. Of course, particularly in India, the live streaming of cricket is the big-ticket, with Jio TV reportedly increasing Hotstar’s usual coverage reach of the Indian Premier League by 74 percent due to its free streaming of the tournament.

For everything else that cricket fans crave, such as news stats, facts, or live scores when you can’t watch the game, one app stands above all others. The Cricbuzz mobile app is filled with all of the features that you could need. Match scores update instantly, smart alerts keep you in the loop without having to unlock your smartphones, and there’s an ocean of photo, editorials, news pieces, rankings, and player profiles to dig into.

For a different way to interact with the sport, there are even more modern and engaging options. Podcasts have become very popular of late, with their ability to relay information and discussion on just about any topic being very appealing. In cricket, there are many, but it’s Cricket Unfiltered that offers unfettered access to the sport. It’s a weekly show that can be found on the podcast platform Acast, often featuring leading cricket journalists, as well as former and current greats of the sport.

If it’s a more hands-on experience of the sport, there are a great many mobile cricket games, the best of which is the latest of a long-running mobile game franchise, World Cricket Championship 3. In the game, you can play the cricket matches yourself, build and manage your own team, and even face others in the online multiplayer battlegrounds.

The modern way to enjoy one of the oldest sports

All-but unchanged for decades, even centuries, it’s strange to think that one of the oldest and least-technical sports in the world has fully integrated itself in the mobile space. Now, you can engage in several different ways with horse racing, even from the most expensive flagship smartphones, such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra.

There are several websites that have adopted a mobile approach, creating dedicated apps that relay their online content. However, none have done it quite as comprehensively and in such a mobile-friendly way as the Racing app. It’s as comprehensive and diverse in content as the site, but it’s even easier to navigate and consume as a smartphone app. Over the years and years that horse racing has been thrilling the crowds, it’s never gone much beyond the live races – apart from the odd arcade game which saw the plastic horses race.

That has changed now, with developers exploring the ways in which fans can enjoy the sport in new ways. One such entertainment title is that of the exclusive online casino title, Final Furlong. The aim of the title is to land three gold cup symbols, with the ensuing free games tripling every single win. As far as these entertainment options go, it’s akin to being in the crowd and watching your tipped horse run. With the game subsequently illustrating both the online sports entertainment, and progression of the online casino industry overall. Furthermore, in the PikPok mobile title Rival Stars Horse Racing, you take the role of the stable owner. From breeding to training, the game plays you through the whole process of trying to develop a cup-winning horse.

Few other sports have such a range of mobile options

Globally-speaking, football is the absolute most popular sport, which has led to mobile app markets being filled with football-based apps, including ones for streaming, live scores, news, fantasy, and mobile games. When it comes to keeping informed and being a part of the fandom, the top pick app is Forza Football. The core of the app is that everyone in its community can enjoy the live updates and discuss the action. For pure live streaming and the viewing of live football, however, India’s pick has to be SonyLIV, who have the exclusive rights to UEFA Champions League live to stream.

In the console gaming world, for football fans, it’s been a battle between FIFA and PES for years, with FIFA 21 and PES 21 going at it again this autumn. FIFA often comes out on top, at least in terms of sales, but in the mobile space, it’s generally agreed that it’s PES that offers the superior gaming experience. The iOS and Android mobile gaming app eFootball PES continues to earn praise for its realistic gameplay, user-friendly controls, player behaviors, and collection of legendary players infused into the game.

Whether you’re into the cricket, horse racing, football, or all three, those are to top apps for delivering you convenient news, stats, facts, or entertainment.

Chris Smalling is all set to join AS Roma

AS Roma have agreed on personal terms with Chris Smalling according to multiple reports in Italy. English defender Chris Smalling has spent a year in loan at AS Roma last season. His performance in Serie-A was excellent last year so, AS Roma is very much interested to retain him completely.

Chris Smalling joined Manchester United in 2010. He has won 2 Premier Leagues. 1 FA Cup and 1 Europa League with Manchester United. The defender has scored 18 goals in his 323 Man United appearances and has also represented his country 31 times in his career.

The 30 years old lost his form in his last few seasons with Manchester United and was extremely criticized by the fans and the pundits. He also lost the faith of his manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and this is why United signed Harry Maguire from Leicester City last season and sent Smalling to AS Roma in a loan spell.

After an excellent season, it was expected that Manchester United will retain him again. But Manchester United has some other plans. They are looking for Dayot Upamecano of RB Leipzig. The 23-years old can be an asset for the future and will surely give a long-term service to the club.

Smalling’s contract with Manchester United is going to end in 2022 which is why Man United is interested to sell him to AS Roma for a 12 million euro fee, well the final decision will be taken very soon.

La Liga 2020-21 season preview: Where do Sevilla stand?

0

Julen Lopetegui has done well to make fans forget about his disappointing stint at Real Madrid. As a result of the 19/20 Europa League success, the Spanish tactician has proven that he can deliver in the big competitions.

Along with the success in Europe, he also managed to deliver a top four finish to the club sealing their place in this season’s Champions League. Let’s take a look at how they will fare this season.

Key Players

  1. Lucas Ocampos
  2. Jesus Navas
  3. Ivan Rakitic
  4. Diego Carlos
  5. Jules Kounde

Although he is well into his thirties, captain Jesus Navas is showing no signs of slowing down. Lucas Ocampos is a great young attacker who can provide the offensive output needed for winning matches from the right.

With the incoming signing of Ivan Rakitic, the midfield looks very promising for the six time Europa League winners. The defense is well taken care of by Diego Carlos and Jules Kounde, both of whom were pivotal in the side’s European success.

Winning Points

You can always identify a good side by their defensive record. In the same vein, Sevilla are one of the best teams in La Liga right now as proven by their defensive record last season. They only conceded 34 goals in their 38 league matches, the third lowest behind champions Real Madrid and their local rivals, Atletico Madrid.

Sevilla is a very balanced side that is also a threat going forward. Their performances in the late stages of the Europa League were enough to prove that they can deliver in the big matches.

Challenges

Arguably the biggest challenge this season comes from replacing outgoing transfers. Real Madrid loanee Sergio Reguilon and veteran midfielder Ever Banega will be extremely hard to replace.

Although they were a very defensively solid side last season, their true challenge is replicating the previous season’s record. In addition, they do need the creative spark in midfield to make up for the departing Ever Banega. That is where Oscar Rodriguez, another Real loanee, becomes important.

Transfer Activity

Sevilla has done business in the market already. Ever Banega and Sergio Reguilon have departed the club. It seems like the responsibility of making the plays will fall on the shoulders of incoming loanee Oscar Rodriguez. They have also managed to sign Suso from AC Milan and Ivan Rakitic from Barcelona.

A very vital piece of business in the transfer market that Sevilla must carry out is the signing of a left back. Sergio Reguilon is one of the most promising young left backs in the world right now.

His absence is most certainly to be felt in the defensive part of the club’s game. Sevilla would be wise to add some quality in that position as they only have one left-back in their squad right now, Sergio Escudero.

Predicted Finish: 4th

Riding on their sixth Europa League title victory, Lopetgui’s side looks strong contenders to finish in the top four once again. While they don’t really possess the quality to challenge for the title just yet, another top-four finish would go a long way in providing them with the financial backing and the opportunity to lure much bigger names to the club.

Other than that there will be other basic features that can be found on most of the smartwatches such as music control, camera shutter, call notification and find your phone feature is also expected to arrive with the Watch S Pro.

‘Your life is changed forever’: Brendon McCullum recalls DADA’s words regarding his famous knock of 158 in IPL 2008

Remember the first match ever in IPL, KKR v/s RCB. The legendary kiwi hard-hitter Brendon McCullum smashed 158 runs from just 73 deliveries against Royal Challengers Bangalore. After that match captain, Sourav Ganguly told McCullum, “Your life is changed forever”. After 12 years of that event, Kolkata Knight Riders head coach Brendon McCullum has recalled the statement of Dada.

Speaking on KKR’s website, Brendon McCullum revealed that it took him years to understand the gravity and importance of Sourav Ganguly’s words. He said: “DADA SAID, ‘YOUR LIFE IS CHANGED FOREVER’, AND I DIDN’T QUITE KNOW WHAT HE MEANT AT THE TIME, BUT (IN HINDSIGHT), I 100% AGREE WITH HIM.”

Remembering that match, McCullum shared some of his beautiful memories. He said that nothing was preplanned. the management was just looking for a blistering start of the tournament and Brendon gave them just that.

Brendon McCullum also added that KKR is all about representing the spirit and the passion of Bengal towards this game. This year the team will miss the crowd of the Eden, but surely KKR will try to play a brand of cricket which will be representative of the people of Bengal this IPL season. He said: “WE’RE TRYING TO PLAY A STYLE OF CRICKET WHICH IS A GREAT REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE OF BENGAL AND ALSO SHAH RUKH, JAY (MEHTA) AND ALL THOSE INVOLVED IN THE FRANCHISE. HOPEFULLY, WE WILL BE ABLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL, BECAUSE I THINK WE’VE GOT THE RIGHT TEAM FOR IT AS WELL.”

KKR won the title two times 2012 and 2014. This time, McCullum is very much confident that the team will lift the trophy once again. He is currently the head coach of the Trinbago Knight Riders in the ongoing CPL, so when the tournament will be over, he will join his team in UAE.
