video October 19th, 2008

I hope the video is still there when you see this post, because at many times these fixture highlights were taken off from video sharing site.

In the mean time, while it’s there, enjoy brilliant goals from Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dimitar Berbatov and Nani. Brilliant performance, brilliant team effort, brilliant atmosphere.

Thank you Old Trafford!

Reds in International Matches

players October 12th, 2008

This sort of international match reports will be an occasional report since i’m no fan of international football. However, I couldn’t argue that Manchester United is build by International Players, so when there are international matches, there must me Manchester United players involved. Although i’m no fan of country specific team, because I don’t even support my country football team, it’s always nice to see our players doing well in their country.

I will go into England team later but almost all reds went well yesterday. Evra with France and their idiotic face Domenech pleased with a 2-2- draw after went down 0-2 in 17 minutes. Vidic and the Serbians beat Lithuania 3-0, Johny Evans and Northern Irelands beaten 2-0 by Slovenia, who’s that man from Argentina, Carlos Tevez beat Uruaguay 2-1 with the Argentinians, and Ji Sung Park captained South Koreans to 3-1 victory against Uzbekistan. In other news, Fletcher captained Scotland and lead the team to a 0-0 draw against Norway, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani was also featured in Portugal team at a 0-0 draw against Sweden.

Now, the England won against Kazakhstan. Well, it was a worthy win and the Capello boys had successfully explore the weakness of the Boratz (sorry, it’s a joke. I like Boratz). Rio captained the team and score the opener, Rooney scored 2 goals and one of them was after a nice cross from Wes Brown. Manchester United fan will argue that the night was all about our players, that includes me, however the most talkative moments was the England fans booed Ashley Cole after his mistake that caused a goal by the far weaker opponents.

Rio, the vice captain of England, which I think is a lot worthy than the slippy boy but I won’t take this captaincy issue further, quoted by The Sun:

“It’s disappointing when any player makes a mistake — you want to get behind him and gee him up so he gets back into the game.

“I hope the people who’ve done that will feel a bit ashamed of themselves.”

I hate Ashley Cole. I think he’s a f**k s**t f**k. Perhaps nothing will change my mind except if he’s a Manchester United player. But booing him after a mistake is just moronic. Manchester United fan even cheer for Ronaldo for Christ sake!

But all in all, the lads did well in the weekend and will have one more game before fly back to Carrington and face another Premier League match. I just hope everyone back home in 1 piece because we’re still haunting the trophies and we surely need these superstars.

Come on you Reds!

Beaten By The Scousers

match results September 14th, 2008

Hell ya, that was it. We were poor and lucky not to concede more than 2 goals. The thing is, watching football at bar is quite fun.

We went to the bar after my friend, from other city, text me that we had the first goal already. S**t we rushly went to the bar, pay for the cover charge and adjust with other football fans at the venue.

My first expression was, weird. It’s freaking weird to see other club’s fan cheer when our players plays bad, losing balls etc. It was weird to hear people cheers when they saw Gerrard and Torres excercise from the bench. I don’t get it, i think i never been their fan so it’s weird to see the scene. Also, i saw some old expats with Liverpool t’shirt speak in English accent, so they’re ok, but it’s weird to see Indonesian likes Liverpool. I was like WTF? Liver what?

Sorry, that’s my thought. I’m Indonesian myself who likes Manchester United, another English club.

However, some colorful beverages light my time, i didn’t even care about the result after the game was play for 45 minutes. I guess we were play just so bad and were totally outplayed by the scousers. So i didn’t had the choice but order more brews.

So the bad is, Carrick is back injured, Vidic sent off and will miss the Stamford Bridge game, Giggsy played silly and get beaten, Brown gets his own goal and i’m not sure why Nani wasn’t featured from the start. In the bright side, i can see Rooney and Tevez was passionate as ever and glad to see the new boy Berbatov in our side.

All in all it was fun. Not as fun as the lads, our team coaches and our fans at Anfield seeing the team outran by Liverpool players, but in my eye it was fun. I guess the alcohol talk.

Long way to go, but yeah it’s on, started with a lost. Damn but whatever, i guess i just need to go to bed. I hope i don’t get the headache tomorrow morning.

Come on you reds.
