Finally, the real Champions League begins

United have this tendency to play great when I least expect them to. The bad thing is that they sometimes end up playing bad when I expect them to do well. But we never talk about the bad things.
When we went in to the match against Wolfsburg on Tuesday I expected them to lose 2-0. With a team of two first-team defenders, we really had no chance. 13 of the 19 players were midfielders. 13. Holy crap. Park was forced to play defense, and he is a winger, not a defender. I have to say that we did look really bad. We couldn't keep possession, but Kuszczak is my hero. He made so many great saves, he basically saved the game for us. Along with Michael Owen, Obertan was brilliant. I think it was the second goal where he beat like three defenders to make the pass to Owen, who scored.
I really can't hate Owen after he scored the winner against City and scored a hattrick to put us on top of the group. He is such a brilliant player, just not all the time. I think he has to be in a good mood or something. Basically, I think that he has been a good signing for United.
On a different note, I have no idea what we are going to do against Villa this weekend. I hope that Rooney and the Berba are fit so they can start, but defense will be a big problem. Villa are a good team, and I don't think that we will be able to get away with mediocrity again.

Liverpool were also pretty horrible today. I thought that because it was their last game in the Champions League this season they would win it, but of course they decided to prove me wrong. Torres came on for around twenty minutes and his brilliance is back. The team doesn't seem to be connecting and that bothers me a lot.
Barcelona also got away today with a 2-1 win over Dinamo Kiev. I was hoping that they won't qualify, but they are Barca after all.
I've decided to resurrect my love for German football before the World Cup, so I will start watching Bayern Munich again. I love all their players, but I haven't been watching any of the Bundesliga matches, so I've decided that I will watch at least one match every week.

The Bad-ness Continues

Posted in Labels: , , , , , , ,
8:45 PM
So United did well, but everyone else fucked up. I hated it when stuff like this happens, I mean come on lads, can you at least try? I want to see some better results in December!
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.

Bad, bad

Football needs to fix itself soon, because I don't like it when it's bad.
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.

Baby Come Back

Nando needs to come back. NOW! I am currently in the process of watching the Liverpool vs Birmingham City game, and Liverpool got really luck to equalize and be at 2-2 right now. Stevie is back, but it doesn't work without Nando. They've been looking so dreadful I cringe every time I watch them play....



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

Bad Week(s)

Posted in Labels: , , , , ,
7:05 PM
The last couple of weeks have been pretty disastrous when it comes to football.
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...

NOOOOO!!!
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...

Fernando Torres




Feel better love <3

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Posted in Labels: , , , , , , , , ,
9:30 PM
I've had a horrible football week. I know that it's been over for a while, but I'm still not over all the ugliness that happened there. I guess I should start with UEFA/ Champions League.
Both of the Bulgarian teams lost their matches, leaving them at the bottom of their respective tables. CSKA has only one point, and Levski has 0, I think they are the only team without a point. Valencia also didn't perform as well as they should have, even though Veeya was playing. Liverpool also lost and I was pissed because they had been playing dreadful football lately. Man United's performance in Moscow also wasn't pretty.
Now moving on to the more important stuff. Let's begin with the only positive thing from this weekend (unless you are a Liverpool/Chelsea fan)- Valencia. They were lovely against whatever team they played and they won 3-0, with Veeya scoring, of course.
The bad: Real also drew with Sporting (I think) and I wasn't happy because I don't like it when Kaka is sad. Ronaldo really needs to get back on that pitch and make him happy again, and they can make football babies. I mean goals...
The ugly: I guess I should give you a warning that the following paragraphs/ pages might be filled with tons of angry United rambling.
The fact that they lost has definitely reflected my mood this week, and anytime any of my friends (who don't give a crap about football) mention United I feel like kicking a kitten. I guess I should probably talk about the game and how stuff went. I was really nervous and I didn't sleep well, but just like before any major game I knew that if they had a chance to win, then United would screw up. It still hurts when my prediction does come true.
Our starting line-up was not weak, and now that we have van der Sar back our back line should have been much more stable. One thing I didn't understand was why Darren Fletcher did not start/ was not on the bench. He is a great player and he could have been a great contribution to the team.
Berbatov and Rooney played up front, but as usual Berba was the link between midfield and Rooney. The first couple of minutes Rooney had some good attacks, but after that he was gone. Berbatov tried to make something happen with Valencia, but he didn't look very enthusiastic. Neither one was at their best shape, Berba's passes weren't as good as they usually were, and Valencia was chasing down balls like he should have been. Giggs wasn't much better either, I think he should have been subbed. I didn't understand why Sir Alex subbed Berba and not Rooney. He should have brought Owen in much earlier and taken out Rooney because he was obviously struggling.
Scholes and Carrick did OK, but not as well as I would have likes. Scholes' passes were flawless, like usual, but that was all he did, he didn't really defend or help create any situations. Carrick did much better, he created many opportunities, but he couldn't execute them.
Our back four were pretty poor, especially whenever Torres touched the ball. I mean you could see the fear on their faces the moment the freckles got the ball. Ferdinand was out of shape, and he should have been able to stop Torres when he broke away and score the goal. Vidic was fine, but some of his tackles were awful, same goes for Evra.
It was pretty bad, and we deserved to lose, but I'm still mad. Berba shouldn't have gotten that frustrated with all the challenges that went against him, that definitely affected his football. Also, Torres!!! AHHH!!! That little b*tch! I mean, I love him and all, but what was with all the diving?! I think all the frustration is out.
They better destroy Blackburn in their next game, or I will be really mad.
At least this is better than 4-1... Right?
Me no likey sad Kaka, but me likey wet Kaka

Yay happy = good :)

I will not talk about it today.
I probably will tomorrow.
I didn't cry, like I did when they lost to Burnley.
I saw it coming, but I didn't want to believe it.
Torres needs to go fuck himself.

pre-match nervousness

Posted in Labels: , , , ,
12:26 AM
It needs to be Sunday, like now.
I'm really nervous, and I don't know if United can pull it off.
I mean, it is Anfield...
And they haven't been playing that well... 
AHHHHH!!!

I guess I'll just think about Valencia for a while
At least they make me smile :)
And this guy makes me smile too:


Aww :D

After the match I'll go back to liking Liverpool

See the resemblance?

A Typical Fan and Some Ramble

Posted in Labels: , , , , , , , , ,
12:10 AM
Yesterday one of the guys at my school referred to me as "the typical football fan, who knows nothing about the sport." The comment really upset me because football is the one thing that I really love, and I like to think that I'm more than just a common fan who thinks that Cristiano Ronaldo is pretty. I asked him why he thought I was a typical fan, and he told me it's because I like the big clubs and the good national teams that almost everyone supports. 
Both things are true, the two of the three clubs that I really like, Manchester United and Liverpool are one of the most popular football clubs on this planet. However, I don't think that the reason I started liking them has anything to do with their popularity. I started liking Manchester United because of Berbatov and because on that faithful Champions League match day last year the game which ESPN decided to show was United, and I started following all their games. I started supporting Liverpool because of Torres and because I think he is one of the best, if not the best, strikers in the world and he is a joy to watch. I don't follow any of these teams just because they are good and I expect them to win, but because I actually like the teams.
Then he started talking about how I support NT which I have no reason to support, like Spain, Brazil, England and Germany. I support these teams because some of my favorite players play for them and I would love to see them win the greatest trophy in football. I don't have to be Spanish to like their team, if I only had to support Bulgaria in the World Cup, well then I should just not watch it at all. 
Then, of course, there are the players. Apparently I like all the regular players, like Messi, Torres, Kaka and Rooney and no one original. I don't really understand what's wrong with liking players which are currently the best in the world. Everyone knows about them, and some people might even think they are overrated, but they are still good and no one ca deny that. I enjoy watching players and teams which play good football, I guess that's typical of any football fan. 


Anyway, on a completely different note, the Devils are back on top again. I'm not celebrating yet, because it's too early and they haven't been playing as well as they should be and Rooney is still injured. However, Berbatov is a genius. I don't understand people continue to criticize him, when that man leaves everything on the pitch, he is just so good. If I can't celebrate United's win, I can definitely celebrate Chelsea's loss. I am completely loving Aston Villa right now. They are playing great football and they are doing really well, but they better not try to pull an upset on my Mans. Liverpool were horrendous. I think that's all that I can say, but I guess there was lots of luck that contributed to their loss, but they are definitely lost without Gerrard and Torres. 
Real Madrid did not perform as well as they should have against Valladolid as I thought they would. Their defense was really sloppy and Casillas made several mistakes that could have ended up very badly. But even though they can't defend they definitely know how to score. But Kaka refused to show us some abs at the end when he took off his shirt and revealed this:
Real Madrid's Kaka of Brazil reacts at the end of a Spanish La Liga soccer match after coming on as a late substitute against Valladolid at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid, Saturday Oct. 17, 2009. Real Madrid won the match 4-2.
I was actually disappointed with Valencia. When I first hear that they were going to play Barca this week I though that they had no chance, but then when I saw Barca actually play Valencia should have definitely won the match. But I don't think that they know how to score without Daveed Veeya. Messi wasn't really there although he did walk around the pitch or something like that. They should have scored and brought Barca off of their high horse. Rawr, I'm upset they didn't win, I even threw a pencil while watching the game, and I'm usually not violent during games, I just curse. This little team has definitely grown on me :)
Oh, and I can't forget to mention Inter completely demolishing Genoa 5-0 and Stankovich's amazing midifield volley goal.

Ze Champions and ze losers

10:51 PM
I had to watch United's game against Wolfsburg on replay, which was horrifying. I made it through the first half without looking at the score, but after Wolfsburg scored I couldn't contain myself and I looked. And I was happy. And appropriate celebrations followed. The Berba was awesome in the game, he was worth every penny. Our dearest Owen seems to be out with an injury. Haha! I mean... Get well soon :D Ryan Giggs was... well... he was Ryan Giggs. 
Are you injured Michael? Huh? I thought you don't get injured any more?

Liverpool have been having an upside down season so far, although it has had more ups than downs. But I was seriously upset during the Fiorentina game. I don't think I was as upset as Fernando Torres was, but he looked angry and pretty :) I really need to stop caring about him, he's going to make me a Pool fan, and I'd rather walk alone. 

Torres is enjoying that a bit more than he should be. 


And then he lay arounf the pitch a little. No wonder they lost the game...

Barcelona did some Messi magic and cruised passed some team that I can't remember, but I do remember that the players refused to take off their shirts, I had some hope when Casillas did, but then I found out he was wearing some kind of a tank top, so I was disappointed. Oh and Shevchenko was playing with the other team whose name I can't remember. What is he doing there?

Players seem to be laying on the pitch a little too much. Shouldn't they be chasing a ball?

All the Bulgarian teams lost, but it's not like I expected anything else, but Valencia made me extremely happy! They finally won a game, and they proved me that they can't score without Veella. They were up 2-1 at one point and then the other team equalized, and then Daveed V. had to come in and save the day with some bitchfacing and thumb sucking, while Daveed Silva's hair flew all over the place.  

*hugs*


*strokes hair*

Chelsea also didn't play well, but still won. I was happy. I celebrated. Not because they won, but because they sucked. If Liverpool beat them on Sunday that means my Mans will on top of the leader board! YES!

Aww, men love :)

It Has Begun

Posted in Labels: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
9:18 PM
   The most important competition after the World Cup and the Euro Cup- UEFA. The season started a while ago, but now that the important team are up and running everything is much more interesting. 
    All the English teams struggled in their first matches:

Manchester United won their match against Besiktas 1-0 with a header from Scholes. Rooney was isolated at the front as United unsuccessfully played their 5-4-1 formation, and they lacked their usual flair. 


There is also speculations that United will offer Daveed Silva 30 million for a move to the Reds. I love Valencia and although I would hate to see the two Daveeds separated I would to see one of them at United. 


Arsenal almost lost as the unknown team they were playing against took the lead 2-0. The gunners who have been feeling the loss of Arshavin who will be out for a while due to an injury were able to come back and win the game 3-2. 


Torres was promoting his new book while his team struggled to win 1-0 against the Hungarians, Debreceni. I guess he was too busy thinking about his book during the game, rather than thinking about how to score goals.


Messi fought over an invisible ball with an Inter player. The boring game ended in a 0-0 draw. I mean there wasn't even a fight between the Ibra and Eto'o!


Of course I have to mention the Bulgarians, Levski Sofia, who lost 1-0 after a dreadful performance against Villareal. 


The other Bulgarians, CSKA Sofia, showed some excellent levitation abilities during the match against Everton which ended 1-1. 


Real Madrid was the only team that played at their level, winning their match against Zurich 5-2. This guy ^ scored twice.

He was jealous that Kaka looked prettier than him. Ahh... Kakanaldo

P.S. You know when they show slow motion replays of something that happened during the game? Well next time they are doing that watch the players' thighs, OMG they jiggle.

A Blog: The Mancandy Edition

My Mans won today, I'm proud and not really happy at the same time. They won the game with lots of luck and no Berba. I mean , Arsenal had to score United's winning goal for them, but I learned that they can score penalties o.O who knew that?!

I like it when my Man are happy. 


Mr. Wegner, the Arsenal coach, showed some excellent football skills, and then he was sent off the field... 


I might definitely have a crush on Nani...

Liverpool also won, and my Torres scored:

Why is he always laying on the grass? Doesn't he know he is supposed to play football standing up?


I think Torres might be a little jealous that Lucas was stealing Stevie from him.

And Bally scored too:


Paolo Maldini was at the Milan vs. Inter game:

I drooled.


I think Pato was jealous, or he was sad that his team was losing 4-0. (Notice the fact that there is no hobo look anymore. I think he learned how to use a razor!)

Wesley Snejider is at Inter now:

I think he is trying to scare us with those eyebrows...


*Insert inappropriate "you can suck on my...." joke here*


Kaka jumped on top of people and pointed at others when he scored a goal. Ronaldo was sad.

The Torres

Posted in Labels: , , , ,
7:57 PM
So, I'm sitting here on my bed contemplating Liverpool's loss yesterday and Levski's loss today as my mom is yelling at me to set the table. I'm pretending that I'm studying verb tenses, while she comes in here showing me shirts that I should wear to school tomorrow. But I still cannot believe that Liverpool lost at Anfield, HA! I mean, ohh poor things... I do like the team, just not so much when they are possible rivals to United, just like I used to like Chelsea, but now that they are so good with Drgoba and Anelka I really despise them because they could snatch away United's fourth consecutive title. I did feel bad for Torres though, he looked so sexy with his black eye and stuff. I don't feel bad for Gerrard, I still can't believe he gave away a penalty! That's almost as bad as when Michael Carrick missed the penalty shot at Burnley and United lost. It's almost as bad, but not quite AS bad. BRB I have to go eat dinner. 
I'm finally back, and it's about an hour and a half later. What's bad is that I started school on Monday and now I can't spend countless hours hunting for amazing football information online, but I do know that Man United won their reserves game against Bolton 3-1, which is a good sing for my Mans. Anyway here are some pictures of the ah-mazing Torres during the Liverpool game. Just in case you're wondering, yes I am suffering from Torrenidis a disease which causes me to obsess over Fernando Torres' lovely face. 

Oh yes, it's the eyebrow, and just look at the guy behind Torres checking him out. 

We see you there Stevie, stop staring at his ass.

How I Fell In Love With You

Posted in Labels: , , , , ,
2:48 AM
    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 Messi- the 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!"
