Hello Brazil!!

First of all I am trying to write this on the iPad...I hope this turned out good. As you all know it's World Cup season and we say hello to Brazil. I was honestly worried that the World Cup wouldn't even have its opening ceremony after reading that most of the construction of the stadiums, walkways etc was not completly done. Glad they had their first kick off 3 hours ago.

Group A, Brazil versus Croatia. Croatia was leading the first half of the first half with an own goal by Marcelo. After that Neymar scored twice and to add more salt to injury Oscar scored the third. I really thought Croatia would've pushed forward but after Neymar's penalty I think it went from bad to worse. They missed a lot of chances but they can still do better in their next two games. 

     

Ok, side note. I've been following the transfer window since the football season ends and was hoping Fabregas would come back to Arsenal since he is rumor to leave Barcelona. Arsenal gets first pick to buy him back and also heard they might try to get Carlos Vela back too. But then I saw this and kinda breaks my heart....

It is sad! But he still is wearing his infamous number 4 jersey...in BLUE! Ughhh...disgusts me :P Why Arsene Wenger, why?!???!!! Enough rant. El capitan, you will always be a gunner to me...even in Blue.

Xoxo

He said, she said: Our boifriend

Spending a ton of time with CLK is fun, especially when he said goofy things that I can put on my blog. Even though he said don't quote me on your blog...I am going to anyway! He is just too fun not to XD This would be a he said, she said series. :) The lovely LiLu of The Southified Masshole has a Tumblr, The Shiz My Boyfriend Says dedicated to quirky conversations between she and B (her other half) :), and you could even send your own quirky conversation pieces!! She was the first blogger I love, after reading posts after posts I got hooked! Thanks LiLu for being my inspiration!

PS My Project 365 is still on halt. I have pictures to sort out. :) Will definitely 'cheat' a lot and post multiples in the next few days!

While we were watching Arsenal play (2 weeks ago)

She: Yay Arsenal scored...Fabregas scored again! My boyfriend.
He (looks at me): No, our boyfriend.

Pause. LOL.

Football update: FA cup

Shall I say, one game down and more to go :) The FA cup match against Huddersfield Town was scary.
CLK and I was watching this very rare game that comes on at 8pm, but it was raining hard. I was glad it calmed down before the game ends :). When Bendtner scored the first goal I was like "OK! We can do this!" and we were also watching Better off Ted (our favorite!) while the game was on half time. Then when Sebastien Squillaci was give a red card and sent off I was like "damn, not again". I was hoping the won't lose this game, that would really suck.

But of course when Cesc Fabregas came in, the game turned. :D They got a penalty and scored, of course! :D Yay win!!! It really suck because Denilson and Nasir got injured. Get well soon!! I am actually really excited because they have another game on Tuesday. I just hope they can win and are not too tired from the last game. Good luck team!!

Pack your bags cause we're going to Wembley: Football update

Like literally ...we are going to the finals!!! Arsenal I mean XD I can't remember the last time they were ever in the finals. Maybe like years and years back? They were almost thru last season but was short. I was so scared that they were going to lose against Ipswich Town on Tuesday that I did not watch the game. Nerves. I did catch the repeat tho. Epic Arsenal game. Awesome. Another 3 - 0 score. I think 3 should be a lucky number for the Gunners this year. :D But not finishing 3rd of course, that would just be terrible.

The caption, Fabregas scored the third goal and it was just a wonderful sight. *sigh* Bendtner and Koscielny scored the other two goals. Awesome game. Come on, we can win the cup this season!!!

On other news, The Green Bay packers and the Pittsburg Steelers are going to the Superbowl. :D

When-you-blog-about-football-you-know-life-doesn't-get-that-much-surprising Game 5?

Ok midweek I was super excited about Arsenal winning to Braga (yes it is an Arsenal post, man up) but I was really frustrated and disappointed that they did not win against Sunderland. It is typical Arsenal style (yes they have a style which they need to change!) to do great, and win big midweek and suck on weekends. They need to beat Chelsea :P ahaha. But yeah, disappointed but not so much since 'thankfully' did not watch the game, the channel was crazy fu***d up. The only goal scored is by the sexy captain himself, Fabregas. Which kinda suck I was hoping they would win and gap themselves further from Manchester Utd and closer to Chelsea, but it was not meant to be. **Sob sob

Too bad he got injured not even half way thru the game :-/

Utter disappointment...at least for me

I was looking forward to the Liverpool vs Arsenal clash Sunday night, to a lil disappointment ...to me anyway. No Arsenal didn't lose nor did they win. Disappointing right? They level 1 all with Liverpool. I mean a bad start could be a bad end for Arsenal. I am not high on hope. They have been so close in the last few years...yet VERY far. They have lost some key players before the season starts. And not winning the Liverpool match really makes me worry. I know it is just one game but Chelsea beat West Brom 6 - 0, now thats saying much??

Before the start of the season (YAY! Season officially starts!!) there was a lot of rumors about losing Cesc Fabregas. I was really really nervous about losing him to Barcelona. We all know Barcelona is the IT team right now but I don't really watch La Liga and it is kinda boring so losing Cesc to Barcelona would suck. But lo and behold he did stick around the Emirates for I think at least one more season (lets hope I am wrong). So welcome home Cesc Fabregas.

Arsenal did lose a few players before the season, one which I was really disappoint was Eduardo. He was a surprise move to me. I thought he would've stayed at least till his contract ends or till Arsenal at least win something (anything for that matter it is getting a lil frustrated). Eduardo moved to Shakhtar Donetsk. He will be missed.

Another upsetting move was Philippe Senderos. After a loan spell last season and coming back not playing a game (that I know of) I was hoping to see him play this season. Then I learned that he has made a move to Fulham. I actually liked his skills defending the goal.

A little while back, in May one of my many fave player in the Arsenal team Fran Merida moved back to Spain to Atletico Madrid after 4 years after joining Arsenal. I like Merida, altho he rarely plays for the first 11. I know how it is in the football world. You need playing time not just sitting there watching people play. He is very talented, plays a lil like Fabregas that's why I like his plays. I hope he makes an impact where he is now. I do hope Carlos Vela won't be leaving Arsenal soon...not yet anyway I think he has the potential to play a lot this season.

Arsenal also lost 3 key defenders, William Gallas, Mikael Silvestre and Sol Campbell. Altho Campbell just joined them last year briefly I think they three of them will be missed and I hope Arsenal defense is improving. Sol Campbell will always be a Gunner :). Gallas reportedly made a move to Juventus. Silvestre on the other hand came from Man Utd, and just a brief stay at Emirates Stadium made a move before this season starts to Al Jazira.

Overall, they did sign 2 new players this year, Marouane Chamkh, and Laurent Koscielny. I hope they can make a big impact in the premier league this season.

I guess may the best team win.
