Spanish Nerve

It was indeed a nervous night for Spanish football as the Primera title is open for grab for the top three, Real Madrid, Barca and the underdog UEFA Champion, Sevilla. But stupidity was the word of the night when all three teams failed to capitalize the chance given when they all only managed to grab a point out of each outing. My pick? I’m going for Sevilla, but they need a helluva magic to win it – if and only if the giants in Real Madrid and Barca lose and they win their final match at home to Villareal. Its football for god sake, anything can happen. Even the calm Zinedine Zidane turned into a beast with the headbutt. But my bet is still on Sevilla, provided they have the ever dangerous man in the penalty box, Freddie Kanoute.

But they race was not all that night. It was all because this one real fucker making the highlight yet again, reminiscing the glorious moment in world football. Yes, Lionel Messi it is, yet another impersonation of his national hero, Maradona by executing the Hand of God en route to score yet another to hand a 2-2 draw to Espanyol. It was about four month ago when he shook the world with a repeat of Diego Maradona's sensational dribbled strike against England in the 1986 World Cup against Getafe last month. I doubted about everyone’s taunting him as Messidona. But this time, I have to agree with it. I just hope that he wouldn’t do ‘cocaine’ing stuff.

Spain oh spain, here comes the pain. As Sevilla will reign and prove to be no vain. Ha Ha.

P.S. And just to update, Liverpool have signed Brazilian U-20 Team captain, Lucas Leiva from Gremio. The boy has been dubbed ‘the Brazilian Gerrard’ by some fans due to the similarity of his playing style with Stevie - with Stevie, Carra, Pepe Reina and Xabi’s new sealed deal, together with the arrival of fresh new blood in Lucas Leiva and Ukrainian scoring machine, Andriy Voronin. So be scared, people.

    I go for Real, merely atas dasar kesian for a team of galacticos who never won a single trophy in the last 3,4 years. Also for the fact that beckhamis leaving, so naluri aku kate 'kesian la die, at least kalo mng league this season he has something to show in the States nnti'. Haha.

    Btw never heard of that Ukrainian striker before the transfer, any idea why Rafa's interested in him? Or merely sbb nk replace Fowler?

    Liverpool really need a perfect striker, in a sense that a striker that equipped with all, height, speed, ball control and most importantly finishing. The strikers they currently have seemed to lack one of each – with Crouch, with massive aerial ability but lack of speed, and with Dirk Kuyt, who is a speed demon but a sampah when challenges the ball on air. Fowler? He turned 32 this year and EPL’s getting vigorous with the emergence of loads of young talented players, most of them equipped with ultimate physical ability and stamina. Experience only wouldn’t cut it. It’s about time I think for him to bid goodbye. Bellamy seems to have it all, only his temper has to be managed. And Voronin? He might be just another Milan Baros kinda player. Please excuse the middle name goal machine I dubbed to him – his stats is not impressive enough though, a striker who needs 3 seasons to score just 32 goals for Leverkusen. He is the new Kop, so he deserved such name to make him feels good a bit. Ha ha. Just hope that he would prove me wrong and good luck Andriy!

    Having problems with our strikers made me miss Owen a lot.

    haha. nk bg up jgk si vovonin tuh?
    xpa. kops neva shine b4 they bcome kops ryte? take hyypia 4 instance. who knew his name b4 he reached anfield? i didnt. but dont get too xcited. uve got the blues n the devils all eager to retain their glory. gunners? get a sniper of a striker n then only we'll see if they're still in the competing top4.

    p/s: i go for barca. its in these situations i think ronaldinho will step up. he's been under the pressure of the press lately. he's got a point to prove. cepe's got a point too. let things unravel then.
