Lineker admitted that, with the game being off played in England, United States had a chance of prevailing, but insists on the fact that La Liga champions Barcelona were heavy favorites.

"The fact that it is in England and they will probably get the vast majority of the support and is 90 minutes, not two legs, gives them a better chance," said the presenter of the BBC.

"But if they played 10 times, United States could win one or two of them, it may be a couple of prints and Barca would win the rest."

The two sides in the Saturday final head has also recently crowned champions of their respective national leagues.

However, while it has been suggested that this side United did not correspond to some of the previous teams built by manager Sir Alex Ferguson, current crops of Bar?a players are be hailed as potentially one of the team of best assembled in the history of the football club.

Under current coach Josep Guardiola, they won three consecutive titles of La Liga, Copa del Rey in 2009 and the League of Champions of the same year, when they overcame 2-0 in the final United States.

"But to do this, I believe that they have obtained to be winning prolific of the Champions League.".

"If they can beat Manchester United and then win two or three more in the next few years, with their style of football, the modern game, they could become the best side ever."

"They are certainly the best side on that attended the attractiveness of their football, the way in which they left the game."

United, at the same time, perhaps not as easy on the eye as Barcelona this season, but side of Sir Alex Ferguson was still enough to win the Championship by nine points.

Better now than it was in 2009 - Barca Ferguson

The Scot of 69 years aims to make a hat-trick of triumphs in the Champions League on Saturday.

"I believe that Sir Alex Ferguson is already the greatest British Manager," said Lineker. "It is not only one of the greatest British managers but one of the biggest global football."

"His record speaks for itself." It is here to compare with anyone, and it is better than anyone.

"He has already won the League of Champions twice, he won 12 titles and many sections of FA and everything that goes with that.

Messi can be stopped - Ferdinand

"The identity of Catalonia is extremely important for fans of Barcelona," said Lineker.

"They got a little say,"more than a club"which translates is" more than a club' in Catalan. "."

"What they say by this is that all of this goes back to the repression of Catalonia and various other locations in Spain has suffered during the reign of Franco, where they were not allowed, for example, speak their own language.".

"The place that they could potentially do and meet was in the Camp Nou. In many respects, which becomes their focal point against Madrid of Franco.

"This is where comes this great rivalry with Real Madrid-is more than a football match, it means much more politically and historically."

"Obviously time passes and memories fade, but it remains, there is a current it.". "This is why this great team, they have now gives them more pleasure that it otherwise would."

victims of earthquake in NZealand final 9 declared dead

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - nine victims of the devastating earthquake of the New Zealand finals have been declared dead Monday, ending a dying waiting for the families of those whose remains have never been identified in the wreckage.

Same DNA tests proved to be unable to identify nine 181 killed victims in parts of the city of Christchurch have been ruined in the February 22 quake, so that the Government has created a special coroner's inquest to consider other evidence.

Chief Coroner Neil MacLean made its official conclusion of the death of nine missing persons who have not been located and including mobile phones, bank accounts and passports have not been used. He concluded that they died of traumatic injuries following an earthquake.

MacLean said that families deserve closure. The nine were six women and three men. Four were Chinese and a Philippine. Others were born in the Peru and Russia.

Witnesses reported having seen all the nine in the building of Canterbury television before the earthquake, but no one had seen any of them since. A total of 115 lives were lost in the CTV building, which totally has collapsed and burned.

The earthquake of magnitude 6.3 is one of the worst disasters in the New Zealand. Some 10,000 houses and commercial buildings in downtown close to 1000 will have to be demolished and parts of suburban Christchurch probably be abandoned completely.

The earthquake is most expensive natural disaster in New Zealand, costs of $ 15 billion.

Police previously identified 172 victims and said the investigation that they had names for another nine people but all rest of them recovered was too incomplete to identify legally.

Fingerprints, dental remains, pathological examinations and analysis of DNA were among the methods to identify the nine, said Detective Inspector Paul Kench.

"To say that it is a special type of survey is an understatement," MacLean said at the hearing.

The six women MacLean held dead were: Jinyan Leng, 30, Xiujuan Xu, 47, Didi Zhang, 23 and Xiaoli Zhou, 26, China. Rhea Mae Sumalpong, 25, of the Philippines; and Elsa Torres of Frood, 53, a resident of New Zealand born in the Peru.

The men were: Matthew Lyle Beaumont, 31-Shawn Lucas, 40, of Christchurch. and Valeri Volnov, 41, a resident of New Zealand born in Russia.

To test final moment at the nuclear Iran

Tehran  - Iran carried out final tests its first nuclear plant and it is planned to begin producing electricity in the next two months, the Iranian media, said Monday.

Intended to be the first of a network of nuclear power plants that iran says it is planning, the Russian-built Bushehr complex exceeded the period after the date limit coming on flows, most recently fuel had to be removed and checked for technical problems.

The Fars news agency said that Bushehr would begin injection of power in the national network of electricity over the next two months.

"Right now, after the fuel rods were unloaded in the heart of the reactor have been washed, they are loaded again and final tests are underway," Gholamali Miglinejad, a member of a parliamentary Committee monitoring Bushehr, was quoted saying by the student ISNA news agency.

The Iran began to load fuel in Bushehr last August of foreign and national media, touting as a symbol of resistance to international sanctions imposed by countries who suspect that the Islamic State is seeking nuclear weaponssomething she denies.

At this time, Iranian officials said it would take two to three months of Bushehr begin to produce energy, and that it would generate 1,000 megawatts, about 2.5 percent of the Iran electricity consumption. The Russia is the fuel for Bushehr.

But the start-up of the plant was hit by several delays since, with some analysts blaming the mysterious Stuxnet computer virus. Stuxnet said Tehran has plagued personal computers at Bushehr, but not step affected major systems there.

Security experts say the worm may have been an attack supported by the State on the Iranian nuclear programme and of goods originating in the United States or the Israel. None of the two countries mentioned no link with Stuxnet.

Security sources and diplomats say the Western Governments and sabotage of view Israel as a way to slow down the Iran nuclear work.

NUCLEAR SABOTAGE IN IRAN?

Some analysts argue that iran may suffer broader sabotage aimed at slowing his nuclear advances, pointing to a series of unexplained technical problems that have reduced the number of working centrifuge at its Natanz uranium enrichment plant.

Natanz is at the heart of Western concerns about the nuclear intentions of the Iran since the country, without any other nuclear power plants that Bushehr, has no current civilian use for enriched uranium. Western leaders believe that iran, the world largest oil and gas producers, secretly aims to refine the uranium to a level suitable for atomic bombs.

Earlier this month, an Iranian official said as his country had been hit by a new malware called "Stars". But foreign experts have expressed their doubt as this represented a second cyber attack.

The Bushehr plant was started by German electronics giant Siemens in the 1970s, but the project was interrupted by the Iran in 1979 Islamic revolution.

The later completed Russia plant and will supply its fuel.

To mitigate the concerns abroad, that the Iran could reprocess spent fuel for Bushehr in bomb-grade plutonium bars, Russia repatriate the spent fuel. The plant will also regularly followed by the inspectors of the UN nuclear monitoring agency.

Western officials have asked Iran to accede to the Convention of 1996 on nuclear safety, saying that the Islamic State would be the only country to operate a nuclear reactor which is not part of the international Covenant, once Bushehr is launched.

The convention, with 72 States signatories now, has been designed to enhance global nuclear security, an issue which has gained more importance in crisis nuclear the Japan Fukushima, through a system of peer review and mutual monitoring.

"Location of the plant on the coast makes the security of Iran's nuclear program a concern of regional security", the International Institute for Strategic Studies, a think tank, said in a report last month.

He noted that Bushehr, as Fukushima, is in a seismic zone. But the Iran does not have to fear a tsunami of the size of the electricity blackout and back-up to Fukushima cooling systems, as Bushehr is located on the Gulf and not an ocean.
