Bridge to Sunderland and more…

Expecting a Tevez picture? Well, Bridge is the latest confirmed deal so far. He will be on loan to Sunderland for the rest of the season, which I think is a good thing for him. On the other hand, still no news on Tevez’s next stop. Only hours till closing time, and he may choose to remain in City, since he didn’t need to do anything but continue to get his salaries, sound pretty good to me. No?

Before I start, I would love to wish all our readers a Happy Chinese New Year and all the best in Dragon year. =)

Cable TV broadcasted 3D football game for the first time last night, and it was the first ever 3D football match that’s being broadcast in Hong Kong as well. We were all ready at home at 9.15pm to prepare for this big moment. And, of course it didn’t disappoint us. It was an amazing experience and you MUST try it!

Real Madrid vs Barcelona: As Ugly As Usual?


Fouls, yellow cards, red cards, players shouting at each other, pushing each other, and so on, are all nothing new in the El Clasico. So somehow we are all expecting something more than just a 90 minutes football game, whenever Barcelona takes on Real Madrid. There are people who think Barcelona players dive a lot, but there are also people who think Real Madrid’s tackles were ugly. Right or wrong, depends on how you see it.

We understand facing a team like Barcelona, sometimes you do need to do some dirty works to stop them. But to stamp on someone’s hand? I don’t think so. Please behavior yourself, Pepe. That looked really painful.

Feature: What Does Ballon D'or Tell Us?

Messi won Ballon D’or three times in a row, well a hat-trick in winning this award is really impressive, but when the mighty Ronaldo was unable to achieve this, what does it tell us? Is it because there were no other players better than Messi? Or is it because the world already blinded from other footballing style and only know how to scream Barcelona?  This should probably be called, Football Imperialism.

Gary Neville in Hong Kong

Gary Nevilla, Hong Kong

What did we do yesterday? We went to Hong Kong international airport and see who we found?! Gary Neville! He is in Hong Kong for a few days to meet his fans, and we were lucky enough to see him yesterday. Nah, not to interview him, just…like a fan girl. =P

The Manchester Derby? The red card? Even the result of the match were all not important enough to catch the headline that day. Why?  Because Paul Scholes is back in action! A shocking name appeared on the team sheet that day and surprised the world. Paul Scholes came out from retirement and will play for Manchester United till the end of this season. No wonder Sir Alex Ferguson is not looking for any new signings during the January transfer window. But what do you think about Paul Scholes back in United? Is he the solution for Man Utd?

Mong Kok stadium was very busy last week, hosted plenty of big games, including this one on Saturday, JC Sun Hei vs TSW Pegasus.

Home team Sun Hei scored an early goal at just second minute into the game, goal scorer was Gerard. Both teams were testing water and no one managed to score another goal at 1st half, so the scoreline remained 1-0 as it reached half time. However, Sun Hei’s nightmare began at the 2nd half.

Citizen vs SCAA: Some Shocking Moments

Citizen, SCAA, Hong Kong
It wasn’t a quiet night at the Mong Kok stadium on Friday. Citizen was there to take on South China, and the match ended with a lot of noises.

Carreiro scored at the 3rd minute for Citizen to give them an early lead. Citizen kept pressing throughout first half which gave them plenty of chances. At 32 minute, SCAA Yeo Jeehoon was sent off after receiving his second yellow. Later, Yuto Nakamura managed to scored another goal before the end of the first half. Giving Citizen a two goals lead into half time and SCAA was a man down. It all looked like Citizen had the upper hand, but things started to get complicated when 2nd half began.

Player Thursday: Super Donovan

If you have been waiting for our Player Thursday, sorry for letting you down and kept you waiting. Life has been busy but we have been trying hard to keep on track! Let’s get back to the topic. Yes, Landon Donovan.

Many probably remember him from the 2010 World Cup, not for me but that was the time when he gave me a strong impression. USA is never the top teams in football (men football), but somehow, the team got into last 16 and managed to impress a lot of people. Donovan played a big role in it.

Howard Scored a Goal!

The title has said it all. Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard scored a goal in the game against Bolton earlier. He took the shot somewhere in front of the goal post, thanks to the wind (or blame the wind), the ball hit the ground once then flew pass Bolton keeper and went right into the back of the net. It was a 102 yards goal. Howard now becomes the 4th goalkeeper in Premier League that scored a goal.
