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.

FIFA World Cup 2006 : Good bye Figo and thanks for the great pass!

I stayed up to watch the Portugal Vs Germany game. 3 goals (Germany) to 1 goal. Very entertaining 3rd place match which to me is pointless. Oliver Kahn was excellent, so was Ricardo. In fact this World Cup shows the very many talented goalkeepers, no longer an ornament but rather an integral part of a squad. Anyway I do hope Cristiano Ronaldo, very very talented, absolutely entertaining would just stop diving and just play. In the 2nd half he did just that and he is Portugal's best hope 4 years later. For whatever criticisms you may say about him, truth be told he has been examplary for Portugal, diving included. By the way Michael Schumacher was there!

Anyway tonight marks the end of Luis Figo's international career. I was very disappointed that he did not start the game and I thought well maybe his last game with France was a good send off. Why send him in for this consolation prize? Guess what? He did came onto the pitch when Germany I think was 2 goals down (1 goal is own goal by Portugal by the way) and I thought "Shit! Yeah, yeah let him end his international career running in the pitch for 15 min when 2 goals down". Well he did run on the pitch and he showed the young ones how to make a good pass. In fact it was that kind of pass that you simply can't miss, unless your name is Lampard and you're from England. It was an excellent end for his International career. And a great thing that the Germans were more polite than the rest because instead of booing him, they cheered him! And surprisingly they booed their own German somebody in that FIFA something. Quite interesting. Why I like him so? Obviously his looks (although I do agree with one of the online papers who described him as a man having the looks of a priest who heard too many confessions as he does have that grumpy midly surprised burdened look), his voice as he is one of the very few footballers who actually does not sound like some boy lacking in hormonal growth in his voice box, his talent and after watching that youtube clip where the bottles and insults rained on him and he continued to play on in that Real Madrid Vs Barcelona game many many years ago, I definitely respect him. So when the news came he dived and all, I didn't believe any of it. Still don't because I saw those so called diving clips and he did not dive.

And since I don't watch the Italian league, I will never have another chance to see him play. I wish him best of luck at Inter Milan and hoping he will end his footballing career with a flourish.

I still remember him 4 years before. He was impressive but Portugal was really having such bad luck.

Good bye Figo, and thanks for the great pass!!

Oh by the way I saw some online pictures of his very beautiful wife, Helen Svedin who is by the way from Sweden. A very appropriate family name. Anyway can't post them here because they were taken when she was a young "artistic" model and ermmm I can see why Figo is such a happily married man. Just type her name in Google images and immediately you will the pictures I am talking about. The one picture I can post is his wedding picture.

And tomorrow, it will also be the end for my favourite player from a squad I never liked and the one man who actually brought home the World Cup many many years ago and yes, he played the entire tournament alone because the rest were just there to stand and run around. Zizou, I believe is more talented than Figo but just as respected and well mannered. So when I read he actually kicked a stadium door so hard that the door was damaged, that was a big big surprise.

Who will lift the World Cup? Many say Italy, maybe. But I hope Zizou has a great send off. I hope France wins.

Below a few of my most favourite pictures from this World Cup, that is the France Vs Portugal game. These two are friends having played together for Real Madrid and I am sure meeting one another in other tournaments. You can see the quiet respect and affection. I am still looking for that one picture where they exchanged shirts though.
