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].

FIFA World Cup 2006 : The fate of France & oh, Zidane! 
Permanent link Post a Comment

Today, at 3am Malaysian time we shall all bid farewell, adios, goodbye to France. Even if against Togo, the idea that they must not only win, but score maybe at least 2 ot 3 goals is like Michael Owen running back to the pitch a-ok right here right now. France is finished. Maybe a miracle will happen but nothing short of miracle will see them through.

It is sad indeed Zidane, a great playmaker, an inspirational leader and basically akin to the Korean entertainment scene, the Rain of the footballing world, who singlehandedly put France through the World Cup many moons ago and lifted the cup, now has been condemned to the words of "He should've remained retired". He was, but he was also patriotic, and felt he owed the good people of France and his coach and his team and himself to do something to help the ailing team, something like Luis Figo did, something Pavel Nedved did and certainly something Diego Maradone did many many years ago. We should have simply said thank you and be done with. He gave it his all, he retired and he came back out to an uphill task. He shouldn't be remembered for playing poorly, he should have been remembered for trying even in the face of having achieved it all, bracing ridicule to help his country. A standing ovation should be given to him and a big big thank you note sent to him. Instead of saying he's too old, he's no longer fit, etc.

Same goes for Michael Owen in fact. His words touched me, when he said he felt guilty for failing to live up to the hopes of many fans, for disappointing his club, Newcastle since he is now so injured, he may be out for maybe a year or so.

France still has Thierry Henry (who is not Terry Henry by the way), so called King of Arsenal BUT hey, he has yet to show his true worth in the world cup. In fact he is so muted in there, I don't even notice him.

So bye bye France, thanks for all the great footballing moments Zidane and how I wished the end could have been more glorious for you.

What a sad chapted in France's footballing history.

Could they perform a miracle? Maybe. If Togo is reduced to maybe 5 men, if ever.

I predict here; Argentina will win the World Cup, unless the Brazilians start to really samba and samba all the way to the goal post and dump Ronaldo. I mean let's face it, he's so not very in the game right now, maybe later, but not right now. The last team I want to see winning is either South Korea (bad memory from the last world cup) and Australia because they're coached by that same man who gave me bad memories.

UPDATES
Just in. What da ya know? France got a miracle and they limped into the last 16 because South Korea crashed out! Interesting.
