The most over-rated team in the world

The most over-rated international football team in the world has to be England, without a shadow of a doubt. Medias all over the world often hype every pre-match, yet the team has failed to perform countless times.



I believe the English are taking things for granted. Just because the English Premier League is the best league in world in terms of the football and entertainment value it doesn't mean that the national team should be label among the world's best. One of the main reasons the league is doing so well is because of the influx of quality players worldwide; Fabregas, Ronaldo, Tevez, Torres, Drogba, Berbatov etc.



The current issue on limiting the number of foreign players in the Premier League will surely affect the league in a negative way. Just look at the national squad, the so-called best midfield pairing in the world Lampard-Gerrard isn't working at all.

This morning's match againts Croatia was pretty amusing. A few hours before the match, there was this English pundit that commented on the starting lineup. It was a completely new back-line as the first team players are mostly injured but the pundit mentioned that it shouldn't be a problem for England to get a result againts Croatia.

Scott Carson, totally devasted by he's error

The funny thing is when i watched the match the, it was completely the opposite side. Croatia was dominating the match and England could have lost by a larger margin. Since David Seaman retired, England seems to be cursed with butter-fingers goalkeepers. Carson who replaced the Paul-fat-Robinson made a huge blunder for the first Croatia's goal. I'm sure if Robinson were in goal, things would be EXACTLY the same, yes same blunder.


Tearful Becks applauds the crowd after the game



Croatia by far were the better team. They deserved to qualify. Sad to say but England will not be in Euro 2008. My Italy vs England final dream has been shattered. It's just gonna be Italy vs another team that we're gonna beat anyway. lolz I'm sure everyone's gonna missl the hooligans during the Euro.





Forza Italia

Sis Wedding Round 1

Last weekend was a pretty hectic day for my family especially my parents. Lotsa last minute prep's and slight confusion for the chinese wedding custom. But i guess it was very simple since both families are not very conservative type. Partly, i think things were a lot easier where there's no elderly around anymore as in grandparents and so on, if you know what i mean.

Morning was the arrival of the groom to our place and from there i had the chance to collect extra ang pow and i was helping out as one of the camera-man too. Next, followed by welcoming of the bride to the groom's place in Taiping. The weather did not help at all, it was hot like .......nvm forget it.

I was glad when the tea ceremony was over and we had time to check-in to the hotel to rest. But it was only a while and we went out hunting for delicacies in Taiping. After that, back to the hotel and almost everyone of us dozed off, snored like pig guys and girls. I don't usually snore, extremely rare but I was so damn tired, slept for about 3 hours only the night before.

At night was the wedding dinner at a associations hall, it was a small town, groom's from pretty simple family i would say. Its actually nice to be able to observe close-ties, family bonds, peaceful town life, simple people etc. Something which you can't find in city life.

Next round, 2 weeks time would be the wedding dinner in Penang (bride's side). That i believe will be even more hectic. Friends and relatives overseas will be joining. Huhu..

Till my next update, signing off....

Forza Italiaa!!!

Sunday's 2-1 win over the Scottish sealed qualification for team Italia to the finals of the Euro 2008. Bravooo!!! whOOOo!!!!

"There's a reason why we are world champions", Italy Captain Cannavaro

Yeah babe...you got that right

The only downside is it qualifies the faggots a.k.a France as well. The funny thing is not too sure what is wrong with the French coach, Domenech, waves of insults on the Italian team. Probably he was just pissed of that he needed our help to qualify he's team.

Anyway, looking forward for next year's tourney.

A vote of confidence from the master "Donadoni could deliver Euro glory", Marcelo Lippi feels he's successor, Roberto Donadoni can lead Italy to their second successive title as they prepare to take part in Euro 2008.

Can't wait for Europe's most elite tourney...

FOrza Italiaaaaaaaaaaaa~!!!!

Hopes & Fears

Time is running out….

I can only count the days ahead….

It’s looking like it…..

You know it just as much as I do….

A path diverges into two parallel paths….

Will it ever lead to the same destination?

I am afraid of the torture….

I will cherish all the moments….

Eight

Like any other Chinese the number 8 has great significance. I seem to trust this one.

Superstitions are not my type of game but in this case it’s fascinating to say the

least.

All I can say is I’m looking forward for it. Gonna prove my critics wrong and go beyond expectations.

Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesnt matter whether you are a gazelle or a lion. When the sun comes up you better start running

I had 6 options, yet I choosed none. My hesitation made me feel like an outcast.

Lucky number seven perhaps? I don’t wanna think anymore cause’ the more I think the more things become UNCERTAIN.

I miss part of those university days, wish some of the things were like how it used to be.

Talk about how things used to be, one day can make a lot of difference, even one hour, one minute, one second or one message.

I learnt something from Stardust, why does the guy need to chase for the Star just to prove himself to her? What did she do to prove herself?

I stand firm with what i believe

Built to attack

It's still early to tell, what our newly recruit manager will bring to the club. There's still so many questions on whether he is 'the man'. Spurs had swapped a casual track bottom-cap coach with someone who definately looks like the real deal judging by appearance.

This saturday's 'must watch game' Tottenham VS Middlebrough

In between dreams

"Just when my world seems to crumble apart

You were always there for me

You were patient with my occasional nonsense

You have always brought out the best in me"

" Babe, i love you not only for who you are but mostly for what i am when i am with you"

p/s as corny as it sounds it takes ballz to say it :D
