YOUR Q's FOR MY A's

There is a FAQ [MAIN] database in this website where you will find info on how to link to this website, answers to some tech problems found in pages within this website as well as a great feature where you can post questions in relevant categories & I'll answer them. Try it out!


SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind. For your convenience, I have posted a list of posts which I thought is pretty informative in my own way that you might find interesting. The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.


OFFBEAT STUFF

There is this one section in here that features offbeat stuff that are not entertainment based. The section is known as FUNN STUFF [COMMENTS & OPINIONS].

There are 3 sections in here that contain my personal favourites of all kinds. THE DDGs [COMMENTS & OPINIONS] which features specially made websites by myself with info & all related stuff of my favourite stars or stars I like to talk about, MEDIA & MUSIC FILES [DOWNLOADS] which has my favourite VODs and music files, most of them are taken from Chinese & Korean dramas & movies and some of which I am hosting for my net friends and THE STORYTELLERS [WEBSITES], where you'll find stories written by amateur writers like you and I.

EXTREMELLY FUNNY : FOOTBALL TEAM TACTICS & some comments on the USA Vs Czech Republic & Australia Vs Japan games

Your feedback in any of these post if most welcomed.

You need Powerpoint to view the file and believe me very funny although not that accurate in light if Australia's achievements which I feel was a deserved win because Japan was so lacklustre. No not lack lustre. their heart is not in the game. They played like little children, they played so badly and although Australia got in 3 goals to Japan's single goal (I won't dispute that goal, I thought it was fair), Japan can take heart in the fact that I think Australia is either gonna meet Brazil or Croatia, neither a good welcomed meet. It depends really on how Japan fare with I think Croatia because if Croatia is beaten badly and let's just say, Japan wins, probably Australia can get past Croatia on goal difference. Who knows eh? But I didn't like Australia's style, playing like bullies and I didn't like Japan either, no spirit although they did play fair and no diving. Anyway Japan was easy to beat.

Maybe Japan should learn from Trinidad & Tabago.

The more exciting game, in fact the most exciting thus far was the 3 nil win over USA by Czech Republic. I actually pitied the American team who had zero support. Their fans should learn from Trinidad & Tabago; so few people, and although it was 0-0 with Sweden, the way they cheered you would have thought T&T won 5 nil over Sweden! I can't believe my ears when the commentator kinda sarcastically commented that the American fans, mostly army guys stationed there in Germany were actually leaving the stadium 8 minutes before the end of the game! I mean come on, for better or for worse, stick with your team, with your cheering US team may actually score.

Not that they could. The only 2 or 3 times they got a chance to get near the goal post, the ball went everywhere but the net. And the Czechs outclassed, outpaced, outran and basically outplayed the US. Can't deny I wasn't surprised. I think maybe it is time the US team should seriously consider maybe hiring a foreign coach of maybe better credentials, get some of their players to play for European or South American clubs, learn and gain the experience of defeat in the hands of the mighty because one day they could win over the mighty. Maybe they should lighten up too. I know they never expected a win but surely they could enjoy the experience. I think probably the football team in the US is the only team who actually is humble enough to admit they will get plummeled BUT imagine this; their world ranking is no. 4!! I was like laughing because look at the way they play; not very good but at least better than the Japanese. In fact loads better. They had form, they had style but unfortunately not much experience and maybe lacking some bit of natural flair towards finishing a pass and netting in a goal. The czechs were amazing; they never hesitated and they passed the ball with such precision. They tested and tried and then made a run for it in many counter attacks and managed to score at least what I feel may be amongst World Cup's legendary goals, and there was 2! Amazing game.

Anyway how can the US team feel uplifted or the people care enough to cheer or to stay until the end when the coach himself was sitting and doing nothing, looking either bored or simply no expression and the instructions were given by someone looking like the assistant coach? Where is the spirit?

Sometimes I pity the Americans. I do. Anyway against Italy, I don't think they have a chance. Italians are famous for iron clad defence, as funnily illustrated by that powerpoint file. But it is true. Not sure about Ghana though.

Anyway, are you watching The World Cup? I read in America all games are being shown over there! So is Malaysia and believe me in many parts of the world they would have wished they're as lucky as you and I. I read in a local newspaper some time ago about 2 decades ago or so, maybe 1982 game, can't remember, Malaysians actually donated RM1-00 each to buy more of the games and at last corporate sponsorship was the one that started the ritual of bringing in all games live!

Anyway, if you're an American, and you are watching World Cup and you're enjoying it for whatever reasons (the guys in the Italian team looks great by the way), do drop me a note here using Post A Comment. I would love to hear from the people who calls football soccer. Maybe it is time for the Americans to just call football FOOTBALL. In Malaysia in one article there could be one second football next second soccer and then football again. I don't understand the confusion since we don't watch American Football. So why conform?

Not that I watch a lot of football or know much about the World Cup...

yeah. here in America, it seems that people don't really care much about soccer compares to sports such as football and baseball.
I did see part of the czech/us game and yes, they weren't really trying.
I saw the brazil/crotia game today and it was great! the support for both teams from their home countries was amazing. --tu

The funny powerpoint was spot on on the tactics of the french team! Should have gone and bet on a goaless draw between France and Switzerland. Darn.
