Much better

December is much better already. United won today 4-0, even though they were pretty horrible during the first half. Defense was scrappy, and we were lucky that we didn't let in a couple of goals. I'm happy with Kuszack and I think he is a better goalkeeper than Foster is. Fletcher did not impress me, because he was pushed too far back to play defense. It was weird seeing Carrick try to defend, even though he didn't do a bad job. But where is Vidic, FFS? We need him back, and Rio still hasn't made an appearance. Our midfield was really strong though. Scholsey, did a great job, and his volley at the 46th minute really got us going. Gibson was awesome, I've never seen him play so well, and his goal was pure class. Valencia was brilliant, and so was Evra, and Rooney, and Giggsy. I hope that Neville's injury isn't bad because he just started playing well again. The West Ham Fans were really good at booing him though, that was definitely funny.
Berba seems to have recovered from his injury, he played for around 25 minutes today, and he didn't really do much, but I'm glad he is back.
I'm afraid to admit this, but today I rooted for City. I know I should hate them, but when they had the opportunity to help United I will always support them. Now, we are just two points behind Chelsea and hopefully they will drop more points soon. I was ecstatic when Chelsea missed the penalty, because they never miss penalties, and when Tevez scored.
Real are also winning, and CRon is back and scoring. KAKA isn't here, which is making me really sad, and I didn't want to watch the game, but I saw Sergio score!
I don't want to talk about Liverpool.

How I Fell In Love With You

    I've had an on/off relationship with soccer since the world cup in 2006. Finally, about a year ago we decided to go steady and now we very much in love. 
   
    During the big champions like World Cups and European Cups I was a passionate follower. I didn't miss a game from Euro 2008, I was in hysterics when Greece beat Portugal in 2004, and I cried when France lost in 2006. But my real relationship started about a year ago. I walked home from school and decided to ignore my homework and watch TV. It happened to be a Wednesday, a Champions League day. I came across ESPN and to my surprise they were showing a Manchester United game. I sat there and watched the entire match without moving and I screamed at the end of the game when Manchester won. 

    That same weekend I watched every single soccer game I could get my eyes on. I followed United wherever they went, I cheered when Berbatov scored, I frowned upon Ronaldo and laughed at Rooney's child-like adorableness. Before every soccer game I got really nervous, there were butterflies flying around in my stomach. I couldn't sleep before the Champions League final. I cried when Manchester lost, I laughed at Ronaldo, I adored Messithe enemy. 
   
    Then I realized I was in love with a soccer team, and not just any soccer team, one of the best teams in the world (obviously not the best, I would have to give that spot to Barca, hands down). They made me laugh, they made me cry, they made me scream with joy, they made me read book about them, they made my eyes sparkle whenever I talked about them (my friends told me this, I was a little creeped out). It felt weird obsessing over more than twenty men that way... 

   After United, I will have to go to Liverpool. Even though I don't like to admit this, they are my second favorite team. I know that United and Pool don't mix, but I can't help it! Their team is just so... so good looking! Gerard and Torres in the same team :O *faints*

    Anyway, I started this blog so I can write to the imaginary people that are reading this and ramble about my favorite thing on this world- soccer.

Aww he is just adorable :)
Look at them?! Don't you just feel like giving them a giant hug? So much cuteness should not be allowed in one team!
"I'm not crying *sob* there is something in my eye! *sob* MOMMY!"
