A Girl With A Football Obsession =)

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.

Well early Christmas went by so quickly today, I almost didn't notice. At noon today, well yesterday actually, I was sitting in Spanish class, hiding behind a computer and pretending to watch a movie. I was quietly arguing with one of my friends whether USA should have been a top seed, or not. I was completely against it, while he was trying to convince me that I am wrong. I kept refreshing the ESPN page broadcasting the live draw every couple of seconds, trying to get news. Spanish ended, and there was nothing, but South Africa in group A. In Pre-Calc my friend got his phone taken away when he screamed at me across the room in the middle of class to tell me that the US got England, Algeria, and Slovenia.

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!

It's Thanksgiving and it's only fitting that I do one of those what-I'm-thankful-for lists (although it's now Friday, so I guess it's not really Thanksgiving...). So excluding all the cliche, family, friends things here's a list:

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

I have a term paper on which I really should be working right now, but instead I'm staring at the live scores of the Federer vs Verdasco match and I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown. I really admire Federer, and I know that he isn't as good as he used to be a couple of years back, but I still don't enjoy watching him lose. He is a set down and it was a deuce on his serve right now and thank God he won it, or I might have exploded.
