A Girl With A Football Obsession =)

So I was pretty happy with Unite's win, although their defense was disgusting. They were lucky that they played Pompy and not some decent team. Wazza was great, though, which can be seen by the hat-trick. And Giggsy just makes me smile. I was really happy that all the old guys are back in the team. Neville was bitch-facing all over the pitch, Scholsey was all gingery, and Giggsy, well he was just being Giggsy. Thomas Kuahjkfhsdkjfhk, whatever his last name is, was awesome at goal, I think he will inherit Van Der Saar's spot.

Valencia, on the other hand made RAWR. They played so well, and they were leading 1-0... They should have won the game! I can't believe they let whatever other team they were playing score! And poor Silva had to be subbed because of injury, but Veeyah was great. I still can't get over his karate kick goal.

Chelsea also won, so they are still five points ahead of us... At least Arsenal are now like fourth or something. Chelsea need to start loosing. NOW.

Oh, Liverpool won, so I guess good for them...

All the build up around the Classico was for nothing. The game was pretty boring, and both Barca and Real really sucked. I didn't think the football was of such great quality and both teams were so disorganized, although I have to give it to the Barca defense, they were pretty great. I think that I have finally decided if I like Barca or Real more. I think the only reason I watch Barca is because they play great football, I actually don't like them at all. But I do like Real. OK, let me correct that, I like Kaka. I think he is the only reason I watch Real. Him and Ronaldo, because I want to see how he does after he left Man United.

Oh, and he is pretty to look at.

Seriously, Man United, losing to Besiktas at home? At home? If you can't beat Besiktas what am I to expect from you? I know that they weren't playing with their best team, but come on!If they don't win this weekend there will be some madness going on on this blog.

Also poor Liverpool are killing me... If Valencia make it through to the group stages and have to play Liverpool that will be very interesting. Two of my favorite players against one of my favorite teams... I think I'll go with Vale and Torres and Gerrard can console each other. It's been a pretty uninteresting several weeks in football, the games have not been as exciting, but I'm pumped for the World Cup!!! I think it's less than 200 days now!!!

The reasons we lost:

Gibson was singing

Macheda hung about and bitchfaced/ looked pretty

Anderson was scared of the ball

In tennis news... FEDERER!!! So, I really did think that he was starting to lose some of his edge after the U.S. Open, but he's been beating good players left and right, I'm so happy that he is playing well and I hope he wins the ATP tournament.

RAWR

I think that my obsession with sports have become a little unhealthy now. I have trouble concentrating, I have to check sports websites (ontd football) every five seconds and I can't really talk about anything else but sports. It's not like they make me happy or anything. Yeah, maybe I am happy after Manchester United win, but the nervousness and freaking out before and during the game definitely outweigh the happiness...

Huh.. maybe watching football is worth it :)

I've always liked Fletcher, but ever since he scored during the Man City game I started to really like him and now he is one of my favorite players on United. Valencia was also brilliant, but I think that he shouldn't come into the defense that much, he should stay more up front. Owen and Rooney didn't have a particularlI y great game, and Rooney was clearly annoyed to be subbed. Rooney really needs to step up and start scoring goals if he wants to be as great as Sir Alex claims he is.

I really like Gaby Obertan and I think he will have a great future with United, but his gloves are kind of annoying me.

Anyway, I also watched one of the most boring games ever, the Real Madrid vs. Sporting (I think) game which ended 1-0 for Real. Real looked pretty dreadful, and Kaka was getting annoyed, while CRon was sitting on the bench texting and laughing. I think that the most interesting part of the game was definitely seeing Ronaldo text. I think that the commentators were also getting kind of bored because they weren't talking much...

Rawr 1: Russia did not qualify. I was actually upset when I found this out, because ever since Euro 2008 I've been in love with their national team.

Rawr 2: Ukraine did not qualify. I have to support my Slavic peoples, and my best friend is Ukrainian so she would be pretty upset.

Rawr 3: Henry's hand! I really wanted Ireland to beat France, and they were doing so well but then Henry's stupid hand got in the way!!! He better get some HUGE punishment from FIFA or I will hunt him down.

Rawr 4: Bulgaria winning versus Malta. What's the point?! I mean you lost to Cyprus, why piss me off now?

Rawr 5: Ballack is injured! I love Ballack, so he better get his ass together and get well SOON.

Basically, football has been helping me procrastinate... This week was spirit week at my school and Tuesday was Touchdown Tuesday and everyone was supposed to wear their football jerseys and stuff and I borrowed a Manchester jersey from a friend of mine (because even though I'm obsessed with them, I don't own their jersey) and wore my Manchester scarf. It was really cool, except one of my friends wore and Arsenal jersey and I got really mad, I think a little overly mad, but hey they all know about my live for United and my hate for pretty much every other team. There were a couple of people with Barcelona jerseys and I really wanted to take a picture with them, but I think it would have been kind of awkward because I didn't know any of them. But it was really fun to be able to show my United pride to everyone at school, I think that if people didn't know before, now they kind of have to realize that I'm the crazy girl with the football obsession.

While I was procrastinating today I was reading some articles about stuff that Nani and Evra had said in recent interviews, and one of them made me really angry, while the other one made me really happy.

Patrice is just such a loyal player and he makes me smile when I see him. Knowing that he really cares about United makes me like him even more, so he is no my Berba-Fletcher-Giggsy list (which is the good list).

Nani, on the other hand, just pissed me off! I mean he obviously doesn't start all the time because he is not good enough. He really needs to raise his game, because everyone has this season since Ronaldo has gone. I don't understand what his problem is, the only way in which he can earn his spot in United is by playing well, not by complaining... He has earned a spot on my Owen-Rio-Tevez list, which is not a list you want to be on.

Anyway, I think that Sir Alex's punishment by the FA was a little over the top, but we all know he deserved it. He did make inappropriate comments about the referee's fitness, but I think that a four-match ban was a bit too much.

I should probably stop procrastinating soon and go finish my paper.

We need you back, darling games aren't as pretty without you :(

To start with Manchester. First, they lose to a horrible playing Liverpool, then they pull of only a 2-0 win over some random team, and then they lose to Chelsea when they should have won. I rarely say this, because I am extremely critical of United and I hate having to defend them when they lose. But they should have won the Chelsea game. They played extremely well. Defense was there, midfield was there, everything was there. It was as though Ronaldo never left, and Vidic and Rio are not injured. But we let the game get away from us, and there is nothing we can do about it, as we sit at third place right now. The Champions League match on Wednesday was also horrific, although it was a good game to watch. We qualified, so I guess I shouldn't complain much...

Liverpool is next, and oh, boy are they in trouble... They've won only one in their last seven games, and they lost to Fulham, and they drew with Lyon. It's going pretty bad for them. I guess I'm lucky that I'm not a Liverpool fan, I just think they are cool :)

Valencia. They've been doing pretty well in La Liga, but pretty dreadful in the UEFA League. They better pick it up, or they won't qualify.

The Bulgarian teams. I think they have the fewest number of points in any of the groups so far, so it's pretty sad. And I was hoping that they could pull off a miracle or something this year, but then again I hope every year.

I'm working on a project for school and I have to log in to this thing and the password is miamidade, and I typed Manchester instead, this is how bad my obsession is...

I just read that Nadno has hernia and might need an operation. This not only means that he might be out for a while, but will also be the end of Liverpool's season. They can't play without him! They especially can't play without him and Stevie out.

This is bad, really bad...

Feel better love <3
