Earthquakes…. All over the world.

The was another earthquake. This time, a 7.1 off the coast off Honduras.  People ran out to the streets around 3 AM. There were some fears of a Tsunami. Let’s hope the lives are not lost.

This made me wonder why they occur? Why so many, and in different locations. A few earthquakes have been felt recently in southern california. Many fear the “big one” is coming up.  But, Many earthquakes are reported every day. We just don’t feel them.

i don’t know what I would do if a very strong earthquake strikes. I wonder.

There has been over 20 earthquakes over 5.0 around the world over the past few days. And many more less than 5.0.

This is the first time I pay close attention to this. It’s pretty interesting. Dangerous.   

Champions League. For those who love the game.

Who new? Barcelona are The European Champions. Without a doubt, they play the most entertaining football in the world. Their tactical discipline and individual skills were too much for Manchester United. No one denies that Barcelona deserved to win.

Yes, Barcelona were better. I still think Manchester could have done a better job. In a tactical point of view, Manchester United were unable to counteract Barcelona’s mixed strategy.

Guardiola was excellent. He has set the standard of how a team should play. It doesn’t have to be a 4-3-3. It can be a 4-3-1-2 or a simple 4-4-2. The key is to play a mixed football style; keeping possession of the ball, while pushing up. Barcelona’s way of keeping possession of the ball is done by passing the ball horizontally, from the right midfielder all the way across the midfield, and a little back to the defense. This creates spaces. That’s when Barcelona switches to more vertical game. That’s when Messi, Henry, and Eto’o  get the ball. And then you see the magic happen. Barcelona is able to do this because of one thing. DISCIPLINE. Thank Guardiola for that.

Now, What could Manchester do? You saw the outcome. United had everything needed to win. They are the team with the best talent. Maybe all Man U needed was focus, and emotional control. Frustration took the best out of the English side.

I’d like to know what you think United should have done? Speak your mind, Let your football knowledge out. I’ll let you know what I think they should have done. After watching the game a few more times.

Long Week.

This week was full of immense amounts of math problems and essays. It's friday night, so I needed something to laugh. So I went on YouTube to try find some comedians and I found Gabriel Iglesias. He's very good. He has a very unique style. Check it out. There are six parts. It will give you a good laugh.

Things Happen.

OOPS! What happened there? I mean, it happened to a Manchester united ball. It has never happened before. lol A few friends and I were about to play some indoor soccer and I guess someone kicked it so hard that the ball was ruined. Oh well.

Football around the world.

Last weekend was an interesting one for the world of the beautiful game.

In Spain, FC Barcelona had a confortable 3-1 lead. But, Villareal came back to tie the game, postponing Barcelona's title celebrations. The mighty Bacelona are currently 8 points clear and are set to win another championship.

In Italy, Inter Milan needed to win against Chievo and a Juventus victory over AC Milan to win the scudetto. However, Chievo played a great match against the most consistent side in Serie A, ending the game in a 2-2 draw. AC Milan were unable to beat Juventus in another Derby D'Italia. It was another entertaining game thatended in a 1-1 draw.
Inter have a 7 point lead over city rivals AC Milan and need 5 points to secure their fourth consecutive title. FORZA INTER!

Manchester United are without a doubt, the most consistent team in the Premier League and in Europe. The defending champions are 3 points ahead of Liverpool with one game in hand. Sir Alex Ferguson has done a great job in building a team that will mostlikely win another title and another champions league trophy.

No one really talks about the Bundesliga. But this season has been one of the best. There are four teams fighting for the championship. The top four are only separated by 2 ponts. Wolfsburg and Bayern both have 60 points. Hertha Berlin currently have 59 points while Stuttgard sit in fourth place with 58. It will be interesting to see who will win the championship this season.

Who roots for Celtic? It was a very disappointing fixture for them. After a hard fought game, Rangers defeated Celtic 1-0 and moved 2 points clear ahead of Celtic. Many fans blame the Celtic Boss for the loss, because of his decision to start some players who did not have enought match fitness. But it doesn't matter anymore. The Scottish Championship is now for Rangers to lose.

There is no doubt Football-Futbol-Soccer is the beautiful game. Let's hope to have more interesting seasons ahead of us.

Windows 7 set to be released this year.

I know there are many people out there who don't like Vista. Nothing has to be said about Vista anymore. Windows 7 will make up for what Vista did not do.
Check out some of the new features here.

Admiration.

Javier Zanetti and Ryan Giggs have become the heart of their clubs. Inter Milan and Manchester United, respectively. At 35 years of age, Zanetti and Giggs perform like if they were 25 years old. Their experience and passion make the difference everytime they step on the field.
With his dazzling runs down the wing, Ryan Giggs is a threat to any team. Zanetti's composure and intelligence makes him an ever-present at Internazionale.

They set the example to any footballer in the world. Let's hope we see other players like them.
