Picture of The Day: Football Fan Gets Creative

I know it is nothing new to see a fan running on the pitch during a game, or even rush toward a player to give him a hug or whatsoever. But handcuffs himself to the goal, THAT is new! It is also very creative and smart. How is this smart? Because the staff can’t just lift you up and throw you out.

Our First 3D Football Experience

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!

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.

Our 2011 Best XI (EPL & La Liga)

2011 had come to an end so we decided to pick 11 players from Permier League and La Liga, who we think have performed very well throughout the year. Above are our selections, you may or may not agree, but feel free to share your comments and Best XI with us!

What Did We Miss?! Suspensions, New Twitter Account and more…

Yes yes, internet connection was downed for so long which kept us away from important football news!

1. Luis Suarez Suspensions

Apparently everyone was talking about Suarez’s suspensions lately and no, we are not too late. The racism incident has led to 8 matches suspension but Liverpool is appealing, so Suarez could still play in the previous game. However, the middle finger incident has given him an additional one match ban with immediate effect, so you will not see Suarez in the upcoming Liverpool game. If the appeal fails, there will be total of 9 matches suspension for Suarez, and I am sure this will give Dalglish some headaches.

Merry Christmas to Everyone!

Just a quick update on Christmas, as I am waiting for the party to begin. Merry Christmas to all our readers and hope you guys will receive as many gifts as Archie!

I know we haven’t been updating lately, as the internet at home is still down. I am trying my best to find internet connections elsewhere to keep you guys posted. Hopefully everything will be back to normal next week. Party hard!

Get Well Soon, David Villa!

Yesterday we were just talking about should David Villa leaves Barcelona. Looks like he can’t go any where now. El Guaje broke his shinbone in the game against Al-Sadd today, and seems like he may needs up to 6 months to recover. This may not concern Barcelona too much, but Euro 2012 is around the corner, hope Villa can make it in time for the tournament.

Get well soon, David!

While most attentions were on yesterday’s Man City versus Newcastle league game. In Germany, Cologne's game against Mainz was called off as the referee did not show up.

The referee, Babak Rafati, was found attempted suicide in his hotel room, not long before the game’s scheduled starting time. Fortunately, they found him in the hotel room soon after he had committed suicide. Rafati is alive.

Our Prediction for FIFA Ballon d'Or

'So Pep, if Messi and Xavi both got into the final 3 this year, who do you think will win?’
'Oh man! I DON’T KNOW!’ Image via Daylife/GettyImages

Yes yes, the 2011 FIFA Ballon d’Or is just around the corner and the 23-man shortlist was just released. No doubt that Messi, Ronaldo are both in the running and we are not surprised that Barcelona players have dominated the list, there are all together 8 of them on the list:

Picture of The Day: Sergio(s) and Golf

We know this is an old picture, but since we are going to a golf course to watch our first ever golf tournament tomorrow, it reminds us of the picture: Ramos playing golf. And this reminds us of Spanish golfer Sergio Garcia, not only because they share the same first name, but Ramos’ full name happens to be Sergio Ramos Garcia. Unfortunately, Sergio Garcia is not going to play in CIMB Asia Pacific Classic Malaysia that we are going to watch tomorrow. :P

10 Days in Hong Kong: With Plenty of Football

We know we were gone for a long time, having fun in our hometown but now we are back from holiday and everything will resume to normal. Blog will be updated regularly according to schedule, from Monday to Thursday, then Saturday and Sunday. 

Here we are going to share what we have done in our ten days holiday, it began with an amazing wedding filled with Manchester United. Our friends Bob and Karen finally tied the knot and present us with a wedding full of Manchester United, as the two were both United fans and knew each other because of their love for United! Congrats again to the lovely couple! =)

Their names might not be heard so early if they are not brothers and not playing for these two clubs. David Babunski (left) and Dorian Babunski (right), plays for Barcelona and Real Madrid youth teams, respectively.

Torres Provides Bitch-face for Free

We are terribly sorry for the delay, this week our blog didn’t update as regular as we promised, but things will resume to normal next week! We also want to emphasize that Torres’ bitch-face is not easy to capture.

Apparently, Torres bitch-face is not as pricey as his goals. He managed to show plenty of them during the game between Spain and Liechtenstein, when he was on the stand (not the bench) watching his national teammates played. It was not much of a surprise when Del Bosque finally decided to drop Torres from the lineup, as Spain has plenty of strikers who actually score goals.

The David Luiz Series

Not sure how many of you have seen these videos, but we think that a good laugh is the best way to start a busy week. So here you go:

Goodbye van der Sar

We don’t like to see great players retire :( , but this is inevitable in the football world. Edwin van der Sar’s testimonial had finished last night and this is the real goodbye.

Dear Liverpool: Goals You Scored not Enough to Cover Goals You Lost

Hull 3-0 Liverpool…
Sunray Cave FC 3-4 Liverpool...
Malaysia XI 3-6 Liverpool…
Galatasaray 3-0 Liverpool…
Valerenga 3-3 Liverpool…
Well, you got the idea.

We are not going to get into detail here, but will highlight a few things that we think you will be interested.

The draw happened in Brazil and as you can imagine, a lot of Brazilian players were invited to take part in the draw. So who did we see last night? We saw Pele, Ronaldo, Cafu, Neymar, Lucas Piazon and more.

Do you know…..?

Giggs’s father was black; Messi loves alfajores (a traditional caramel-filled confection); many footballers support the Williams and some other facts that we picked up by reading books, magazines and stalking our player’s twitters.
