Football-Heavy Post.
Previously, everyone was complaining how "unsporting" and "unprofessional" Chelsea was in the English Premier League but now, I beg to differ.
What makes up a unsporting football team?
1) Players who dive regularly
2) Players who injure others purposely
I don care if a team is not sporty or whatever because I believe every footballer has his own difficulties, they might dive sometimes to win or do some weird stuffs like headbutting some guy in the world cup final. We won't understand what they are going through on the pitch thus I don really criticize them much.
What really bothers me is the fact how the fans react. I won't blame them if they support the club like as if their father is in the club or what but don't be so bias that you discredit the controversial issues without even getting the facts right!
I will get straight to the point, I am talking about Manchester United.
Don misunderstood, just because I support Liverpool and you guys think I am using this chance to shoot my rival club. There are some players who I admire in Man Utd too like England striker Wayne Rooney and also Anderson, Evra etc... They are skillful players and no doubt that they are the champions of Europe.
Take for example, the match between Blackburn and Manchester United on Saturday. The first goal was very controversial as replays showed that Vidic elbowed the Blackburn goalkeeper and allowed Wes Brown to score. The referee is at fault for not sporting the foul and Man Utd later on score another goal so I am not sore over Man Utd winning.
So I was like trying to start a conversation with a die-hard Man Utd fan whose name shall not be mention about the controversial goal. Then he goes yapping that it wasn't Vidic fault as someone pushed him so he banged into the keeper. I was like, okay but how can you say it wasn't his fault as the fact is he fouled the keeper. Then he goes on and say some weird shit about the keeper was moving which I couldn't apprehend until now. He was so determined that I asked for another Man Utd fan opinion.
Yet again, he repeated the same old story about wasn't Vidic fault! They were like lawyers paid by Sir Alex Ferguson to try to defend Manchester United! Why can't they just be neutral and view this whole incident as a non-man utd fan? I am so into football now that I will read the reports after every matches so they state that it was indeed a controversial goal and the goal should be disallowed. The fact is so solid-hard in your faces but you guys just avoid it. I didn't go argue with them like some stuck-up old man as it is meaningless.
I begun to wonder, why is it that they themselves who accused Chelsea of being a unsporting club can't see the unsporting behaviors of their own players? They previously insulted Drogba as a chao diver and also Chelsea players being "smelly".
I believe the fun of talking about soccer is when every fans of different football clubs put aside their differences and really talk about the players base on their performances and not which club they belonged to.
Now for the happy moments, Liverpool won! It is those typical Liverpool match again where they were down by a few goals and they managed to strike back. This is one of the reason why Liverpool is one of my favourite club, their ability to turn the tables.
Remember the Champions League Finals in 2005? LOL, I kept repeating this because I wrote this in my GP essay and somehow I love to use this example. Once again, Torres being my favourite player now scored twice against Manchester City. He is indeed magnificent, defying critics that he will have a harder time scoring in his second year in England.
Torres celebrating after scoring for Liverpool.
Liverpool was down by goals in the first half and during the second half, they piled on the pressure and Torres equalised by scoring 2 goals. During stoppage time, Dirk Kuyt fired away the winning goal which resulted in a 2-3 victory against home side, Manchester City.
Celebrations go wild when Torres scored.
Robinho of Manchester City was a constant threat
for Liverpool's defenders.
Robinho was awesome, I can't imagine how Chelsea will be performing if he join them. He was causing so much problems inside Liverpool's half that I will go like " Nooo, don't let him get the ball" while watching the match.
