10 Days in Hong Kong: With Plenty of Football

We know we were gone for a long time, having fun in our hometown but now we are back from holiday and everything will resume to normal. Blog will be updated regularly according to schedule, from Monday to Thursday, then Saturday and Sunday. 

Here we are going to share what we have done in our ten days holiday, it began with an amazing wedding filled with Manchester United. Our friends Bob and Karen finally tied the knot and present us with a wedding full of Manchester United, as the two were both United fans and knew each other because of their love for United! Congrats again to the lovely couple! =)

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.

Chelsea vs Fulham: The Dramatic Moment

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.

Chelsea was one man down early in the second half, and Fulham was rewarded a penalty, but they missed their best chance to win the game. Despite being short in number, Chelsea managed to pull through 120 minutes without losing a goal, and the game went into penalty shootout, as Drogba, Torres, Mata all not on the pitch, Villas-Boas let Lampard took the first penalty and he missed it, the rest all went in..just when we thought Fulham has a better chance to win the game, Dembele missed his penalty. All eyes were on Bryan Ruiz when he stepped forward to take Fulham last penalty, after that, everything was in slow motion. The ball left his foot, hit the crossbar then hit the white line..and no, it DID NOT cross the line. Our eyes rolled in disbelief when referee announced that Chelsea won the game. How unlucky to lose a game like this?

Anyway, we will be away on vacation for a week, starting tomorrow. So our blog may not update regularly as we usually do, but do check back when you have time, we may have some exciting news to share with you! Everything will resume back to normal on 3 Oct. =)

Film of The Month: 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.

Weekly 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?

Picture of The Day: ‘The’ Cristiano Ronaldo

“I am handsome. I am rich. I am awesome, so where is my goal?!”
Well, we guess God is jealous too!

Arsenal’s ‘Awesomeness’ Continues…

Blackburn 4-3 Arsenal
Sorry Gunners, we don’t mean to be sarcastic, we actually feel your pain! Somehow we thought Wenger’s ‘new era’ finally emerged, when Arteta scored the second goal for Arsenal. This title even popped into our brain, “Arteta Goal Sealed Victory for Arsenal”, but we forgot, Arsenal don’t keep their leads, they just don’t. We thought last season’s 4-4 against Newcastle was madness, but Arsenal answered back with a 8-2 defeat to Man Utd. Okay, nothing could be worse than that…But tonight against Blackburn, they did the impossible again. We checked the score at half time, while taking a break from assignment, it was 1-2, Arsenal leading, when we checked back later, a shocking 4-3 popped in front of our eyes, Blackburn won the game, that wasn’t the shocking part though, the two own goals scored by Song and Koscielny was the real deal. Seriously, fix your defense system, got to have some determinations so you won’t throw away another lead. Unless…you want to be like Liverpool last season.

And once again, we are deeply sorry about not keeping up our promises, we know we said Torres feature today but assignment is being a bitch, so as soon as we are done with it, the feature will be up asap!
