Who's in First in Bundesliga-TSG 1899 Hoffenheim

Saturday, 18 October 08, 06:25 PM

Did you noticed who is in first place in Bundesliga? TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. 2006-07 they were in Regionalliga Süd. They finished 2nd. They were promoted to 2nd Division Bundesliga. 2007-08 they finished 2nd and was promoted to Bundesliga 1st Division. Now they are in first place. What a story. We will see if they hold up.
Bayern Munich is currently in 11th. What a slide. New coach, goalie and some other changes. Bayern Munich finally won today.

Barcelona loses to who?

Sunday, 31 August 08, 05:23 PM

Tough day for Barcelona. Losing to a newly promoted CD Numancia. The heat is on the Club President and the new Manager. Congratulations to CD Numancia. Promoted to the 1st Division and taking on what is suppose to be Mighty Barcelona. CD Numancia won in front of their home crowd. This is the 4th time CD Numancia has been promoted. Let's see if they can change history. Past three times they went back to the 2nd Division after one season. CD Numancia won the 2nd Division title 2007-08.
Barcelona has really struggled on the road. To be a competitive club, you must win at home and win away.
CD Numancia's next game is La Liga Champion Real Madrid. Real Madrid looked flat today and lost. This will be a test for CD Numancia if they really can compete againts the big teams. Small Club playing in a big league. It will be tough.
Real Madrid vs. Deportivo La Coruna: Tough loss for Real Madrid. Deportivo pulled a win againts La Liga Champions. Real Madrid really didn't look that good last year. The whole league was down. Real Madrid was just the best dispite Sevilla, Barcelona and Valencia were down.
Valencia vs. Real Mallorca: Is Valencia back? They sure put a beating on Mallorca who just missed the UEFA Cup Division last season. I didn't have a chance to see the game, once I do, I will post my thoughts. Next game, Osasuna for Mallorca. That game will tell us if they are any good. Osasuna has not been that good, we will see how this plays out. If Mallorca is any good, they should beat Osasuna.

I love La Liga. Glad it is back! :-)

Sweet-New Season is Here

Saturday, 30 August 08, 10:19 PM

I am so excited that the Bundesliga, La Liga and other League's have kicked off.
Spanish La Liga is my favorite league. Will Real Madrid repeat, will Barcelona reclaim the title?
Many questions will be answered by next May. It will be a exciting season. Villareal was a nice suprise last season as Barcelona, Sevilla FC and Valencia were a major dissapointment. Barca a dissapointment being in third. Yes. I felt they were strong enough to win it all. The big shocker of last season was the tumble of Zaragoza. Going from UEFA Cup to being regulated. Yikes. Major down spin.
Bundesliga: Will Bayern Munich repeat. New Coach and Goalie. The great Kahn has retired. He was fun to watch. Gave 120%. Competition in Bundesliga will be fun to watch.
Mexico: The shocker of last season was the down spin of America. Maybe aging. Changes needed to be made. It was. It will be interesting to see how the rebound this season. Will Cruz Azul repeat? Will Atlante regroup after winning Apertura part of the season but stumbled afterwards. See if they regroup during the Apertura 2008. Will Chivas make some noise this season. They do well during the regular season my can't seem to close the business during the playoffs. I was very happy to see Indios (moved to 1st division) when tonight. My new favorite Mexican Team. Let's see if they can make some noise. It will be very tough.
I am praying for Puntarenas FC to win it this season in Costa Rica. They really fell apart last year.
In Holland, who will win? Ajax, PSV or will someone else take the title this season.

My Picks (late) for Euro 2008 next round to the end

Thursday, 19 June 08, 08:17 PM

Better late than never. Here are my picks for the next round

Germany vs. Portugal: Does not count. Game already played. I would have picked Portugal which would have been wrong.
Italy vs. Spain: Italy has not played that well. Before the tournament, I would have picked Italy but now, it is Spain.
Croatia vs. Turkey: Despite Croatia hurt, they are playing well and winning. Good middle field. I will pick Croatia to continue.
Netherlands vs. Russia: Russia will be very tough but Netherlands will be tougher. This will be a squeaker but Netherlands will win by one goal.

Semi Finals
Spain vs. Netherlands: Barn burner. Great hard fought game which will result in a Netherlands victory.
Croatia vs. Germany: Rematch. Germany had some challenges with Croatia's mid field. Gave Croatia too much room. Will learn from their lesson. I will pick Germany to seek revenge.

Finals
Netherlands vs. Germany: Not picking these two teams because I am German and Dutch. I now believe this will be the final. I thought it would be the Netherlands vs. Portugal but we know the result. A very exciting final will take place. I pick the Netherlands to be the winner of Euro2008.

It is so nice to have Euro2008 coverage. I have not been able to see the coverage since my vacation in Aruba in 2000. It was a exciting trip. If I was not enjoying the water sports, site seeing, I was watching the Euro2000. A great experience back then and today. It has a World Cup Feeling.

CONCACAF Follow up

Monday, 16 June 08, 06:31 PM

1st leg is pretty much in the books.

I was pleased that Netherland Antilles had a draw against Haiti in Haiti. I wish it was a win but, now the Netherlands Antilles are hosting. It's in beautiful Curacao. I've been there. Return leg on home turf should do the trick. Glad I was incorrect on this one. I think Netherland Antilles will win the next leg. I had originally picked Haiti to win but I think it will be tough in Curacao. If Netherland Antilles plays up to their potential, they can do it. Go Netherland Antilles. Gooool Netherland Antilles. I am cheering you on.

USA vs. Barbados: Finally US scores some goals. Well, it is against a weaker Barbados team.

No surprise between Panama vs. El Salvador as Panama is a team on the rise.

Jamaica vs. Bahamas: Ouch! Tough obstacle to overcome.

Costa Rica vs. Grenada: I hope Costa Rica can win the next one, I think they should. It will be at Saprissa's Stadium. Between the home crown, the heat from the fans will left Costa Rica to victory.

Guatemala vs. St. Lucia: Guatemala should continue to roll.

Looking forward to the next round.

Follow Up COCACAF-Netherland Antilles

Saturday, 14 June 08, 10:28 AM

I got some insight on the Netherland Antilles Team. A comment posted on oleole.com (This blog is imported to oleole.com) stated Netherland Antilles is in the rise. FIFA.com and CONCACAF's website states the same thing. The comment continued "he would be surprised if Netherland Antilles pulls a a win from the Caribbean Super Power Haiti. Netherland Antilles relies on many foreign players mostly from the Netherlands". I also checked Haiti has been on a decline. Good news for Netherland Antilles. The Netherland Antilles is made up with several islands in the Caribbean, Bonaire, Curacao, Saba, Saint Maarten and St. Eustatius.
Netherland Antilles lost by one goal in a friendly to Venezuela.
See FIFA's article below.
http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/newsid=719831.html#the+antilles+serious

I can't wait until Sunday to see the match between Haiti and Netherland Antilles.
I will also tape the Euro2008 to view later, I am really enjoying the Euro2008.
Especially the Netherlands winning like they did yesterday against France and earlier vs. Italy.
Most importantly, I need to cheer the US team when they play Barbados.

How sweet it is to be wrong-Euro2008 Netherlands vs. France. And More

Friday, 13 June 08, 04:09 PM

Before the tournament, I would have picked France over Netherlands. After them thumping Italy, I picked this game as a draw. How sweet to be wrong. Netherlands wins big again. I am cautiously optimistic. Nice game. Nice defense, some nice attacks. The trio from Real Madrid are really something. All three now have scored in Euro2008. All along I would have picked the Netherlands to beat Romania. Next game. Still stands but I hope this time I am right. Netherlands over Romania. I picked Romania last before the tournament. I am cheering the Netherlands to go all the way. I am stating "cheering not picking". It's going to be very tough.

Italy has not done that well in Euro2008, but that could change. Italy must win the next game or they are finished. Cio. Germany and Portugal will be extremely tough. You can not count out Croatia, they beat Germany yesterday. Croatia is hurt but could be dangerous. Sweden, I am not convinced that they will do much. Good opening game but even if they make it to the knock out rounds, it will be just that, they will be knocked out. Spain has always under achieved with all the talent. You can not count them out. Spain is currently in 1st place in their division. They have the talent to win it all too. I pick Spain to win their Division but will they disappoint their fans during the knock out rounds. Time will tell.

This will be a exciting Euro2008.
