God Must be Crazy....

Hmm....for those who are familiar with "God Must be Crazy", it's a good reflection to what's happened in football world. Yes, there's no relevant ties to the Africans that spells with !xasu that reads with a "click" but it's more to the way people refer to the term that football is round and yes with luck, "God Must be Crazy"! Results are not as expected (Hint: Losing the bet to INoe), and some were just unbelievably absurd.

Yes we know AC Milan got through from 2 last minute goals from Sheva and Pipo, Villareal finished off Inter, Arsenal again showed their form with their draw with Juventus at Stadio Delle Alpi, and as expected Barcelona killing off Benfica.

But this past exciting weekend was one that everyone anticipated. MU vs. Arsenal. First off, I can't understand why Henry was left to the bench, and even Reyes. The excuse was that they're rested because they are tired, but for a match against MU?? Come on....rest them when you're playing with Portsmouth or Birmingham. Or I thought, is Henry really gonna be sold and Arsene Wenger aka the Professor is showing his new "young and up-coming" new-look Arsenal? The only seniors were Pires, Gilberto (acting captain in place of Henry) and Toure? Pires is almost certain to leave, and that leaves a squad with average age of 24 or younger. Anyway, without surprise, they're no match for the pace and skills of Rooney, Ronaldo or Giggs. Even Ji-Sung can be praised for his perfomance and a rubbing salt conclusion with the second goal. Damn...I lost the bet to INoe.

What made it worse, Chelsea's match against West Ham was just ridiculous. I was ecstatic when West Ham scored the first goal of the match followed by a red-card for Maniche which left Chelsea with 10 man to play for almost 70 minutes of the remaining match. Who could've thought they'd score two in the span of 3 minutes after 10 minutes of the red-card. And then made worse, the 11-man team was made to concede two more goals!! Ahhh...what agony. Now there's more reason to hate Chelsea and to root for whichever teams that plays against Chelsea, especially the coming May match with MU! (This is about the only time I'll root for MU ever!!) and hopefully Bolton and Everton can help too.

Dang....now the only consolation for me is for Arsenal to defeat Villareal in the Champion League and for them to beat Tottenham to secure that fourth-place finish.

Ahhh....football is taking over my time here......I should be more focusing on my job search, but what the hell.....I need to get this pressure off my head....what better relief than football? Hopefully I can enjoy the World Cup.....hopefully enjoyed it with the stress of working... :D

One can only be always optimistic and appreciative of opportunities right? So....whatever comes, let it come, and when it comes, embrace it in its entirety. (HAHAHA.....Am I becoming poetic?)
As I said, the God Must be Crazy.
