football. bloody hell!

ok i'm writing this post on the back of a prediction that Barca wins 2-1 or 3-1 against Inter Milan tonight, but I've got no way of buying the bets so if that score appears...

knnccbwtf wad de hawk :D

anyway i was reading this article on soccernet.com about the German National Team.



And I guess what really struck me again, were the last 3 paragraphs.

Because some observers have suggested that Low, if all of what I have said above is true, should not have hinted he might after all change his mind when, two weeks ago, he rather unexpectedly said: "We will name the squad on May 6. And in due time, we will announce our decision as regards Kuranyi."

These observers argue it would be very cruel on Low's part to suddenly raise Kurayni's hopes if he has no real intentions of calling him up. Well, may I remind these critics that we have a World Cup coming up. What if Low tells Kuranyi there's nothing doing and two days later Klose and Podolski break their legs?

Put differently, the national coach has to have a loophole in case circumstances arise that force him to go with Kuranyi after all. He has to play it safe. Is that ethical? Is that honest? Don't know. It's football.





actually. its just the last sentence.


There are actually times when i sit back and wonder if like everyon once in a year or a couple of years, the top people from different departments come together and decide HMM... lets do this.

Let's pick something out randomly. like fashion. I mean its like every few years they'll suddenly go like "oh.. old is the new new" that sorta thing. And like how some people can tell you like "oh the current trend is this and that and what not". Seriously there are times when I wonder if like the top designers come together and like go

"ok you slutface, we took your idea to go with that terrible idea of bangs for girls. this year, I'm deciding and i wanna give all girls nice straight long hair"


ok so maybe fashion isn't your cup of tea. One thing that's always got me really really wondering about was things like stocks. How do stock markets 'crash'. Does a computer pick it to crash? Or does someone in the company like say, ok the stocks are gonna crash. Ok, so I read abit more here and there and its controlled by consumers behaviour. Which just makes things even laughable. Someone hears a piece of news that this company is screwed, he spreads it, everyone sells. now this company is really screwed, and there's nothing the company can do about it? And then we've seen countries' economies fail over stuff like that. Looking at it from a faraway perspective, isn't it hilarious? Who suffers the most, the workers of the country, the people who probably never knew what stocks were, never bothered to buy, probably could never afford to gamble them on. "when the rich wage war its the poor who die."


maybe its just me and too much comic books. But there are times when I do see why anarchy still exists as a very plausible idea to certain people. Too many people are just suffering for that small percentage of people's comfort. And it doesn't help that laws really look like they're meant to fund this cycle further.

What's there left to do then? break out of the cycle, leave someone else in the lurch?

I guess sometimes the truth of the matter is, like law of the jungle states, the fittest survive. which means there'll always be people who suffer. Then why come up with like morals and stuff, when its just so... hypocritical.


I don't know, these days, I've learnt alot about life I think.

seriously in life there's only probably 5 important things you really need to know. How to suck up, how to deflect blame and eliminate your competition, how to train yourself, how to bide your time. lastly, and probably the most quintessential of them all, how to spot the right opportune timing. Is that ethical? Is that honest? Don't know. It's life.





anyway, thought I had to share this article with you guys, since i'm finally off Kpop and looking at soccer again (yea i hear the sigh of relief).

I'll be honest, we'll never know what truly went on behind the scenes, so we can't really comment these days, so i won't go there. But truthfully, I always liked him as a player, always gave his all, not the most technical guy around, not the most handsome one playing, not the tallest around, but he played with passion. Carlos Tevez played liek he wanted to play, gave his all, and well... he had a good temper too. But in all honesty, I see Berbatov contributing more to the team, which is why I was glad to see tevez go, and am happier that he's doing well in Man City.


anyway, in this interview, he addresses a couple of things. That infamous welcome to Manchester Poster.

now i know you guys probably won't read everything, but this is probably the best part of the entire interview, I'm not gonna spoil it for you, so its bolded in black.

Carlos Tevez plays like a man who doesn’t like an easy ride. He enjoys a tear-up, right? So let’s put him on the spot: You’ve played with Messi, Rooney and Ronaldo. Who gets to play alongside you in your dream team?

‘OK … let me think … Wayne Rooney is the best in the world. It was a privilege to play with him, I will always feel that way towards him. When we played together with Cristiano, the three of us, this was a great moment in my career.’

Rooney is better than Messi? ‘In his position, Rooney is the best. Messi is the No 1 in his
position. He is too much, right now. The ball sticks to his feet, who can take it from him?’

'Rooney and Messi make my dream team, but not Ronaldo'

But you can only pick one of them.

‘It’s my interview, I want to pick both of them. It’s my dream selection. OK, I play Rooney and Messi, with Tevez, of course. In a 4-3-3. We would score some goals together, eh?’

No Ronaldo? ‘Well, we can’t all play in the same team, can we?’
