Stop Calling it Soccer!

Now, this article I found on the net is quite interesting. I can't agree more on his view

World cup 2006 is now well underway, and I must say that I’m surprised to see such a fine effort from the USA against Italy earlier today. In my humble opinion, the US deserved a win for the spirit they showed, but the heat and the pace all seemed to weigh down on them in the end, and they seemed content to defend and settle for a draw.

Now, the reason I am surprised is that football is a minority sport in the States. I frequently see comments such as ‘soccer is gay’ and so on from an ignorant section of our American friends. It seems that most sports fans in America prefer a game that evolved from the British - largely upper class - game of rugby… and they have decided to strap on loads of padding, change the name of our game and insist that our sport is for girls. This grates a little with those who follow the majority sport in the world, and is another sign that certain (unfortunately vocal) Americans are arrogant… and downright fucking rude.

Let’s not forget Baseball, another evolution from a British game called ‘Rounders’. Rounders is (and has been for a long time) largely a girl’s game in the UK… normally played only by children.

Now, I don’t want to piss all over your favourite pastimes… but enough is enough. Why do you have to be so ignorant of the rest of the world? Does it make you feel proud being so clueless and to act so superior all the time?

Harsh words against the rest of the world from these self-styled ‘patriots’ smack of nothing more than a severe inferiority complex… and extreme stupidity.

In a similarly inflammatory gesture back atchya, I suggest that you change the name of your ‘football’ back to rugby, grow some balls and take off the body armour. Seriously… it’s sooo gay.

The reason we’ve called it a football for the last half-millennia or so is that it’s a sphere that you kick (a foot-ball). Forgive my confusion, but how does Football relate to running around with an oval object under your arm and taking breaks every few minutes?

Ayu : Love is in the Cage

I have to endure another week without my lovely Ayu the Cat. I sent her to the boyfriend, Majinbu the White Cat to do their stuff - and hopefully she will get pregnant. Now it seems that she doesn't want to return home.
I wonder what she's up to right now...

Final Score

Argentina 6-0 Serbia Montenegro.
A World Cup-worthy performance. What a game

My dream final is Argentina vs Spain

Half Time
Argentina 3-0 Serbia Montenegro

I'm writing this entry with a big smile on my face. The time is 9:53pm Malaysian time (GMT +8:00), taking my break during half-time of Argentina vs Serbia Montenegro game. Read my previous post, am I good or what? :) What more can I say. My two favorite teams are at their best!

First, Spain won big 4-0 against Ukraine. I have a good feeling that Argentina could score a couple more goals in the second half.

Argentina had only a few scoring chances, but they put it well, unlike England. Since when football revolves ONLY around Wayne Rooney?

I have no comment on England vs T&T last night. Tsk tsk tsk..I feel sorry for you England

Ooops, time is up! C yaa!

World Cup Fever

World Cup is around the corner. Again, for you who rooting for England I wish you all the best (hoho), because you're going down suckerrrr! :D

Which side am I? I'd like to support Brazil, but I don't go with favorites anymore. They're bad luck (remember what happened to France in 2002?) Too bad Senegal did not qualify this time...

I think I'd stick with Spain...or Argentina..They have excellent youngsters in there.

Oh, by the way I found this cool link of World Cup schedule on Google Calendar. Check it out!
