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.

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 : Oh Ronaldo, Poor Ronaldo, Why Ronaldo? 
Permanent link Post a Comment

I just found out that German player Podolski won the FIFA Best Young Player Award, although Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were more popular choices. Messi maybe not since he played little but he was dazzling. Ronaldo (and not Brazil's Ronaldo BUT Portugal's Ronaldo, now England's most hated man) was supposed to win this and frankly based on dazzling performance, talent, yes he should. Unfortunately his antics on the pitch and his tendencies to dive and rants at the referee were all taken into account.

Truth be told, I kinda pity him. England hates him. He may move to Real Madrid which is Man U's loss. I watched interviews of this young player and though he cries a lot, he also seems pretty self assured. And as the night during the France - Portugal match where everytime his feet touches the ball, everyone booed (I swear for once Figo was not booed at) and he seemed rather uninterested in the boos. In fact he ignored them and played even more better, more dazzling, like the Brazilians. So the stories of him being bullied by Ruud Van Nisterooy are rather well, unbelievable. I feel Man U must keep this young talent because

1. ok he played dirty, he dived (and I think this has more to do with coaching rather than his preference) and though he may betrayed a friend as in Rooney, frankly Rooney lost control and he have himself to blame. Ok, he was despicable. BUT it shows he is prepared to do anything to ensure his team wins.

2. BUT also acknowledge the fact that he is only 21. Maradona made mistakes, every great player made mistakes when they were young. In time he will learn to be humble, that playing dirty will not win you applause and when he matures then he will be a great player. This is something even Rooney has to learn and frankly I find Ronaldo far more impressive than Rooney in this World Cup.

3. I admit, he seems rather cocky but again his age. His self confidence is good.

4. Maybe this is his strategy to leave Man U. I am sure Figo must have advised him to just shut up but he blabbed on. So I have a feeling he made himself to be the most hated man in Man U so that he can move to Real Madrid. Of all places why Real Madrid?

So really fans, angry or otherwise, let this kid learn and let him be humbled but don't deny him your forgiveness. As much as what he did was not good and he may have crossed the line of decency, let us not forget he is young, he may have been influenced by his coach, he may have been desperate for his team to win and he thinks he must give his all, including his reputation to earn a win.

I am sure he will learn after this World Cup and after being denied this FIFA Best Young Player award that sometimes, giving his all doesn't mean including destroying his credibility. If he is kicked out of Man U, that is a great pity to Man U because I am sure no English players play as flamboyant and as exciting as him. Why not let him have an English education on manners? Boo him all you want, but sooner or later you must forgive him.

As for Rooney, I am sorry to say...for all the talks about him and his feet and his talent, I see some magical moments but his inability to just muster up and say sorry and I forgive you just shows he like Cristiano Ronaldo has much to learn before he can become a great player.
