I haven't updated this blog for a long time since i got too satisfied with just reading and commenting and watching the news in the world of footy. But here's an update of what happened in August (as far as i can remember):
A trending topic on twitter was craig bellamy, a former manchester city player who got loaned to his hometown club in ireland, cardiff. This felt inevitable since there have been rumors that Bellamy and the club have not been going on too well, but this could also be a great loss for Man city since Bellamy was one of the key players in the club.
EPL and Bundesliga officially begins this month, that means I'm going to be stuck watching streaming all night long, if possible.
Mesut Ozil is now in Real Madrid. Whoah! shocker! Apparently, it only took Jose Mourinho to convincw Ozil to leave Werder Bremen. This is going to cripple the latter and is a great asset for the former. Jose Mourinho is strengthening his team because of the loss of Kaka due to an injury.
The funny side of this story was that Ozil once mentioned in an interview for his official website that his favorite club in spain is Barcelona...lmao, but when he talked about it in his first official press conference in Real, he said that real Madrid is like the world's biggest club. Epic Fail. His site needs to be updated, and that interview deleted immediately, The chosen one is not going to be happy.
Two of my favorite German Players are in Real madrid right now, Sami Khedeira and Ozil.
on the Cesc fabregas transfer rumor, which spawned a lot of hate from me towards Barca players, Cesc is staying as captain for Arsenal. Hear that Barca? HE.IS.STAYING. how many times must you be told so you;ll just understand that?! A lot of players like Puyol and Xavi have nagged to the media about Cesc, btu he remains in the Gunners...for now. I hated the way they talked about it in the media, like Cesc really hated Arsenal, when he is the freaking captain...i mean, wth right?!
Meanwhile, in French Football...laurent Blanc suspended the world cup players for the first friendly match which they lost 2-1. FFF gave suspensions to these players, who were accused of being ringleaders:
Anelka-18 games (he totally laughed it off, saying they are clowns, for not getting over the issue)
Ribery-3 (he whined that all players should have been given suspensions)
Evra-5
Toulalan- 1 (this made me go..whaaat?! but the explanation was that he was directly involved in the writing of that memorable document that Domenech read to the press expressing their "joint" agreement to boycott)
Somethings wrong with France's top clubs, Brodeaux, Marseille and Lyon as they are currently on the bottom in the rankings, they lost their matches, but let hope not be lost since it's just the beginning and knowing football, a lot of things could still happen. (Currently crossing my fingers for Bordeaux).
In Germany, Bayern Munich continues their winning streak (as usual, I mean, with players like Basti, Muller, Poldi and Lahm). Schalke is still vying for number 1 spot, although my favorite club is experiencing financial difficulties since they want to get more players to partner with Raul (yehey! a veteran from Real Madrid), but due to current constraints can only afford to offer a few million. But hear the good news, they got a new captain----> ducky! Manuel Neuer is Schalke's new captain!! Number 1 goalkeeper!
David beckham's retirement in international has been announced to the press by fabio capello....unbeknownst to the poor guy. Becks retorted by saying that he'll still be available for playing in case his country needs him. Hm, i sense he felt threatened. Rumors began cropping up that he could be transferring to an England club just to take back his slot in the three Lions. Rumors remain untrue to this day.
what else?!
too many!
so much news, so little time.
Thank goodness for Goal.com, dirtytackle, the offside and all the other football blogs that kept me updated!
on his decision to join Real Madrid
