Mata Went Home to Face Valencia

During lazy typhoon day, as we are stuck at home, we decided to do a little blog update. After some local footballs, we shall catch up on some Euro football news.

Last two days were the Champions League match days and the giants didn’t tell the same story. Manchester City lost 2-0 to Bayern Munich, but Tevez had apparently grabbed more spotlight then the match result. Manchester United only managed to get one point from the game against FC Basel, despite leading two nil in the first half, the game ended in a 3-3 scoreline. Chelsea too, only managed to get one point, facing their new signing, Mata's former club, Valencia, final score 1-1. On the other hand, Arsenal looks like they are back on their feet, another victory after the weekend game against Bolton, the game ended with 2-1 scoreline, against Greek giant Olympiakos. Barcelona and Real Madrid, too, had another victory, Real Madrid won 3-0 against Ajax and Barcelona trashed BATE Borisov 5-0, top scorer battle between Ronaldo and Messi still continue, both scored in the game.

Sadly, we did not manage to finish watching any of these games, but the results look interesting. What do you think about these games?

Picture of the Day: Photo inside a photo

Citizen players celebrated their first goal by snatching photographer’s camera and took their own picture. Although Tuen Mun managed to get an equalizer at the beginning of second half, Citizen went on to win the game by scoring a penalty near the end of the game, and this time, they celebrated by ‘playing golf’. Creative huh? And no, they didn’t practice that during training.

We took sometime to get inside the stadium for some local football during our holiday, and we had some great time there, for more match photos, click here! We also had a nice chat with Citizen player, Michael Campion, the article will be up as soon as we finished writing it! So, stay tune.

Glad we have stayed up last night, to witness one of the most dramatic penalty shootout ever. How is it dramatic? Because the ball hit the crossbar, hit the white line, but never passed the line. And this penalty cost Fulham the game.

Film Review: She's The Man

Film Title: She's The Man

Cast: Amanda Bynes, Channing Tatum, James Kirk

Synopsis: Viola (Bynes) and Sebastian (Kirk) are twins. Viola was in her school's soccer team but it got cut, so while Sebastian was in London for some music performances, she decided to BE Sebastian and joined his new school's men soccer team, a rival team that is going to face her own school. It was like the movie that we introduced last month, Bend It Like Beckham, about a girl trying hard to prove that she is capable to play in this male dominant sports.

Feature: What Happened to Torres?

We have witnessed the great finish in the beginning of the second half against Man Utd on Sunday; we also witnessed the ‘miss of the decade’ later in the game, both done by the same person, the 50 millions Fernando Torres. Somehow, media become more caution about the ‘El Niño is back’ headlines, because of all the false hopes earlier. So, where should we begin?
