Robbie Keane in Liverpool

What's my say on this?



Ah. So so only.
I mean, he's taking the no 7 jersey yo!
and he's who?

Robbie Keane. Haha
I know he has been great in Spurs along with Berbatov.
Captain and all.
I would prefer Liverpool getting Berbatov though.

I'm not against him nor I'm head over heels for him.
He's gonna play with Torres.
WHAT? I prefer if Torres partnered Kuyt instead.

Oh well.
Lets just hope that Rafa didn make a mistake on this.
I'm looking forward for EPL to start. No football = no inspiration to blog.
and Chelsea's tour to Msia doesnt count.
I dun even wanna talk about it.

I WANT VILLA TO COME TO LIVERPOOL!!!!

High-cost Transfers - Good or Bad?

Yes, EVERYONE knows him.

He's grabbing 99.9% of the sporting headlines right now, thanks to his fickle-mindedness of either moving to Real Madrid or staying out at Manchester United.

After such a successful season at MU, it's hard to find a reason why would he want to leave to Real. It there is any, it would be the transfer fee offered by Real.

A WHOPPING 80 PLUS MILLION EUROS (YET TO PLUS HIS WEEKLY WAGES)

I as a MU fan myself, would never think he worths THAT much for a player. Yes he won numerous awards and football trophies last season, but that doesn't make him the world's most expensive player.

Here's the scenario.

Just today, Chelsea rejected an offer for its midfield lynchpin Frank Lampard $7.95 million pounds offered by Inter Milan who just had Jose Mourinho aka "The Special One" as manager.

So if Frank Lampard were to be sold at that price next time, it means

Ronaldo = 11 Lampards? =S

Oh please this is nonsensical. It truly is, based on the nonsensical offers by a lot of football clubs today, who would do anything just to land the world's best players. This trend was used to be set by none other than Real Madrid, who bombed their bank accounts to land just one or two players every year. Now such trend spreads contagiously =S

Now is this scenario good or bad for the integrity of football?

To me, one thing good about all this that it helps to boost the commercial ability of football around the world. No doubt football is a popular sport, but one may forget its origins.

One fine example of a player worth the money is this legend.

Emm not in this sense lol

Okay never mind the picture. Eric Cantona, a core member of the double-winning MU team back in the early 90's, was transferred from Leeds United to MU for around $1.2 million. To a club like Real Madrid, $1.2 million is like nothing to them, but when they see the goals he scored and skills he was blessed with, I'm not really sure how much they will fork out for this player if Cantona is like Ronaldo's age right now.

At the end of the video, you'll see how much power he can put on the ball lol.

Now the days are gone. The average of the price for an outstanding player like Arshavin, the new Russian revelation in Euro 08, costs easily around $40 million. And very rarely now that you'll find a player like Ryan Giggs who can stay at MU for as long as 13 years.

Loyalty you say?

Fernando Torres used to inspire me with his words saying that he wants to go on and become an Anfield legend, snubbing Roman Abrahimovic's offer of $80 million. Good one and may your words long continue.

Tennis at its best - Wimbledon 2008!

I was never a tennis fanatic until I started watching Wimbledon last year.
It was also the time when I started supporting my all time favourite tennis player.

Novak Djokovic!

But yesterday, the Wimbledon men singles final 2008 was one of the best match ever in tennis!

Like crazy ok. It was as nerve-wrecking as watching Liverpool play in CL or Spain playing in finals for Euro 2008!

It was no surprise when the top 2 players in the world was battling it out for the trophy!



Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
The King of Grass and King of Clay respectively.
One from Switzerland and the other from Spain. (spain is gonna be where i get my future husband from! ahaha..)

ANYWAY,

it started out well for Rafael Nadal when he took the first set. 6-4.
Federer was not even convincing. He was outplayed.
Nadal had all the power shots.



Look wei. Look at how much power he puts in a shot.



Haha. Somehow I find this shot super funny. Look at his eyes!



I tell you. The only thing that Nadal lacks is the number of aces compared to Federer.
I think Federer has about 16-20 aces, just like that.
Which means its about 4-5 games?
Federer is just so good in serving!!!!!!!



Nevertheless, Federer is the number one and he is not called the world number one for no reason.



He was 2 sets down. He was under tremendous pressure in the 3rd set.
Usually, when ur are 2 sets down, its CONFIRM that you're losing.
There's no way you can come back (very unlikely), except for the Murray and Gasquet's match.
He managed to get 2 sets thru tie-break!!
Nadal was this close to the championship point in the 4th set!



They battled it out till the 5th set wei!! and the score was 9-7 or something!!!
OMG!
Its crazy ok!
Federer was so close in retaining his title, and Nadal was even closer in getting his first Wimbledon title.

No prizes in guessing who won the title. *points at the pic above*
I'm so happy for Nadal because he truly deserves it.
Score. 6-4,6-4,6-7,6-7,9-7



He even ran up to thanked Prince Felippe of Spain.
That prince was also in the Euro 2008 semi finals!
What a good prince! So nice go support.
I also wanna marry the next-in-line prince. I hope he's like 20 something! HAHAHAAAAA!
Spain is just such a special country. Haha.
But Nadal not that good looking compared to Torres, dont you think? *so outta topic* lol.

Anyway,



It was huge disappointment for Federer and heaven for Nadal.
I was kinda sad for Federer bcuz he could get 6 consecutive wins in Wimbledon which beats the record of Bjorn Borg.
I wanted him to win it this year and let Nadal wins the next few years!
Oh well.



Congratulations Nadal, you deserve this!
Like what Ronnie said, its SPAIN's year and they are awesome wei!
First the Euro 2008 and now the Wimbledon 2008.
Mind you, its not always they get victories like these. I hope this is the beginning of many other victories to come.

Maybe this is the beginning for me too. Hahaha. Like this might be the year for me to know a handsome rich young spaniard! =D

With this win, is Federer still called the King of Grass?
You decide. =)

A New Epic

A new era has begin at the Wimbledon tennis championships, and it seems like no one can stop the relentless march of this young Spaniard.

After few rounds of gruelling matches marred by injuries, Nadal reached the final to meet the once again on-form Roger Federer, the world's number one tennis player. They have met countless times in a tournament final, and although Nadal has the upper-hand in head-to-head records, Federer is still the undisputed King of Grass, having won 5 straight Wimbledon championships prior to this year's final.

A classic final.

Both players are vying for different records to break. Federer aims to be the first man in Wimbledon history to win 6 times in a row, while Nadal aims to become the second man in history to win the French Open and Wimbledon championship in the same calendar year after Bjorn Borg.

Exciting, exciting =) (the excitement part was already illustrated by the other writer below lol)

It was the best Wimbledon final in the tournament's history as both men served up world-class shots during the match despite playing for more than 4 hours, making it the longest final ever at Wimbledon. Nadal seemed too good for Federer as he wrapped up the first two sets, but Federer, never wanting to let go the trophy, stormed back as he took the last two sets into tie-break.

But it stil wasn't enough to stop Nadal from claiming his first Wimbledon title, putting a stop to Federer's supremacy in the tournament.

Being the first Spaniard as well to win the title, he was understandably jubilant, but not forgetting to heap praise and sympathy for Federer who also played well to fight back.

Perhaps, the time's changed.

Over the year, Nadal has improved tremendously as demonstrated over his win in the French Open few months ago, dethraling Federer with ease in the final. Blessed with the talents, his strength and strong serves made life difficult for Federer. Although Federer's backhand worked wonders, it still wasn't enough to match the pace of the Spaniard.

Once again, congratulations to Nadal though I rooted for Federer as I thought Nadal still lacks the things to become a complete player. Not anymore =)

It's been a good year for Spain, and it truly is.

The Wimbledon dream final

Have been super busy lately and I dun even have time to blog wei.
But, I've been quite rajin catching up on the Wimbledon matches.

It's coming to an end though. The women singles finals is tmr and the day after tmr is the men singles!

I have to say that there are pretty a lot of upsets in this yr's Wimbledon.
All the top seeds women singles are all out even b4 quarter-finals.
Sharapova. Inanovic. Jankovic.

The wildcard Zheng Jie was pretty amazing. The first Asian female (unseeded somemore) to reach the semi-finals!
It was nice watching her play, unfortunately she went down to Serena.

BUT!!

The Dream Finals is still here.

Rafael Nadal v Roger Federer



His biceps giler big ok. Super turn on. Hahha..



Super charming. Haha.

They say that Nadal is gonna win the title this yr after 5 consecutive wins for Federer.
His record is now the same as Bjorn Borg.
That's why I want him to win this thing this year and then Nadal should win next year!!!

Let him break record first ma. Right? =D

But both men played so well! I have to say Nadal is so good, unforced errors giler sikit compared to Federer.

I cant wait for the finals wei!!!
It's gonna be nerve-wrecking. Hehe.

p.s. Andy Murray's match against Richard Gasquet was the bomb wei. Super comeback! =D

Heylo!

I'm not gonna be as formal as Ronnie cuz my English vocab bukannya baik sangat!

Haha. Doesnt make sense at all.

*

Anyway,

This is Spain. This is Fernando Torres. This is their first win after 44 years.

and this is my favourite player in the world cum hubbie!

Super rock I tell you.

I love love you!
