A Girl With A Football Obsession =)

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.

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.

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:

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. 

HOLY COW is he good looking :O I mean look at these:

I just realized this is the first post in which I don't mention Man United. Oh, wait...
