Soccer Ball MP3 Player

Wed, 4 Jul 2007 01:01:41 -0500

Is this cool or what? The Shiro AS MP3 Player was designed for the World Cup tournament, but the launch was delayed 1.5 years. But still, I think it's a cool gadget for the soccer fan!

Cars don't play soccer, or do they now. Check out Top Gear , where a bunch of pro racing drivers play football, while sitting in their cars of course.

McClaren days numbered?

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 12:35:21 -0500

I'm guessing that McClaren's days are numbered, following Saturday's game and media reports of his furious dressing room "row" with Wayne Rooney. Well, just put yourself in his employer's shoes - weighing the odds - will give you a rough idea.

The FA will stand to lose only £2.5 million if they pay McClaren severance and change a new coach. Now, if England fails to qualify for the European Championship, ho ho ho, the FA may lose 40 times the amount.

You do the math.

But I think he will be safe for now, until the game with Estonia on 6 June.

Is England making it to the finals?

Mon, 26 Mar 2007 22:00:00 -0500

I'm keeping my fingers crossed but England coach Steve McClaren remains positive, despite the 0-0 draw against Israel in Tel Aviv on Saturday, leaving England in danger of failing to qualify for the tournament.

He doesn't see any undoing to be made for Saturday's match, apart from "sticking goals to the back of the net", and will be keeping the basic team for tomorrow's game (Andora).

"You've got to have great faith and belief in your players and I do, that's what the job is. blah, blah, blah....."

Okay, we heard you McClaren. Just show us the results!!!

Some England football fans are speculating a change of coach is what the team needs, based on the lack of goals during McClaren's regime, except for one in the last five games and none in competitive football since Euro 2004. Many England fans are also not buying tickets for the finals until tomorrow's game.

I've never been so geared up for a football team, and will be keeping a close eye on tomorrow's game. It'll be a pity if England doesn't make it. (There're some pretty cute players there....)

Bimbo football?

Thu, 22 Mar 2007 20:51:00 -0500

"I"m going to blog about Cristiano Ronaldo" I said seriously to DH this morning.

"Oh really? What are you going to write about?"

DH was surprised and at the same time excited that I finally know something about football. (True enough, my knowledge of football player is limited to Beckham.)

"Well, he's quite cute!"

(*DH's hands on his forehead*)

"Oh boy, you mean all the bimbo stuff?"

"What bimbo stuff?!" Don't you agree Ronaldo is kinda cute? And he certainly was impressive to win and convert the penalty with 15 mins left, to score a 1-0 against Middlesbrough for FA Cup (quarter final replay). He was once again called a cheat.

He retorted "Maybe someone doesn't like me. Maybe because I'm good." Hohoho! You stole my line, dude!

By the way, can someone tell me which category FA Cup comes under? I'm guessing Euro 2008. :)

Football sushi platter

Tue, 20 Mar 2007 22:46:50 -0500

Served in a Shanghai restaurant during World Cup 2006.

Pretty cute, but not quite realistic. You don't need so many balls on one field. I bet the dish won't come cheap. Plus, the sushi won't be that tasty. By the looks, they're probably plain sushi rice plastered with Nori (seaweed).

It would be great if they create sushi football players on the platter. How about raw tuna for Man U's jersey?
