WEEKEND WITH THE LEGENDS

A chic recently told me Swoosh What is it with you and soccer.Its not life and death.
I told her in the words of Bill Shankly
"Football is not a matter of life and death,Its more than that.
Have a look at this video. This is the adrennaline...2010...In our own backyard

MESSI WINS BALLON DIOR
And the debate is settled. Lionel Messi is the King of the World. And Penaltinho isnt,
What do the readers have to say.?
Look Penaltinho is class but Lio Messi is in a different league.
Both players havent really lit the international stage this year but perhaps 2010 is the stage.
And we have the best players in the World.
So Messi has pipped Penaltinho....ABR.......Anyone but Ronaldo
Interesting was Iniestas reaction t Christiano Ronaldo in calling him a hypocryte. Penaltinho was having ago at Iniesta and saying his a diver. Iniesta responded by saying "Look whos talking"
As ABR often says...I bumped intop the TV and Penaltinho fell down

Its December already,Geez. Time just flies. This weekend was spectecular. It was spent watching and meeting some great legends of football.

Also It was a win finally for Liverpool, The El Classico, ATP World Championships and of course the cricket.
Update to follow and all the pics and write up about watching the Legends.
Anybody else that met some of the football legends please mail your pics through to swoosh0018@gmail.com and Il add it to the gallery. Also please leave your comments about the exerience




I must say watching the Legends again was a great experience. Even though the okes are old now and you can hardly recognise them the passion is still there.Like Macmahon and Robson..Full of passion and still hard. Thats how it is when you in centre of Midfield. But the touches...They make it look simple.
England Legends managed by Phil Thompson were Robbo,Andy Cole,Barnes, Parlour,Ian Walker, Steve Macmahan in the big names. Was good to see the Dutch and Bafana owes.I only recognised Aldair from Brazilian legends...Dutch were managed by Gullit and included van Hooijdonk,Aron Winter,Arthur Newman and Ronald De Boer. Bafana legends included Radebe,Fish,Masinga,Shoes,Arendse,Shakes Kongwane.
You know the phrase "The Timers Still Got It"
Of all the okes I met Steve Macmahon,Barnes and De Boer really gave me time...and I chatted to them about 2010 .I also jibed De Boer how the Italians sunk them in Euro 2000....He was smiling away lol. Macmahon, What a player...Liverpool hard man..and greta owe off the pitch.He and John Collins chatted about 2010...and Liverpool. I said to Macmahon "Whats happening to Liverpool.Whats your thoughts on Benitez. "He shook his head and said..."Lad for his sake he better take fourth place else his gone.
I asked him also Whats a great moment as a Liverpool man..And he said "I was at anfield a few weeks ago and when Youl Never Walk alone echoes in the Stands "It makes your Hair Stand.
But top oke he was,Liverpools Hard Man................
And the Toppies made Indoor Ball or Astro Soccer look really easy.................
Also hats up to the organisers for the inbetween festivities of freestyle soccer and entertainment.
The 2010 atmosphere has arrived...
WOZA SA 2010 WOZA

EL CLASSICO
They say in football the El Classico derby is huge. I watched a documentary once on DSTV about the El Classico...and the fans hate each other.Its fierce. Last year Real were thumped.That sparked the purchase of the new Generation Galacticos..
All the money in the world doesnt count as Zlatans class put Barca ahead.
Penaltino missed a glorious chance for Real but everybody just says one word Messi.
I met a toppie in the bank and instead of saying did you watch the game he said Did you see the Class of Messi.Im betting MADRID will sacked Pellegrino just because they lost to Barca.

LONDON DERBY
After the Legends games myself,Swaar and Faaiz Oz watched the game at Primi Piati in Melrose.And Im glad I watched it with the MUGG. I told him you Arsenal guys...You dress up for week days and weekends you owes wear tracksuits. Cant perform in the Big Games.What are your thoughts Moosa Areff.....
Chelsea were solid and again they let the DROG out and he was devastating.
Arsenal had no answer..always taking a touch too many.....
They had the players but couldnt penetrate JT and Chelsea were deserved winners on the night...and Arsenal fail again when you want them to pull it off................And Im sure as we meet the toppies in the weddings our ears will pain from the amount of times we hear that "Ay but Arsenal play the most attractive Football"
A good derby win for Liverpool but again we ask the question...........Why Lucas and Where is Aquillani .Itgs f34ken December now and we still havent seen Him.......
And Juve lost again........I dont know what the f34k is going on......
And now the game against Bayern And Inter is probably a Huge Huge occasion for Ciro Ferraro.
But in Cirro we trust

Speaking of Juve....Moggi has spoken
Luciano Moggi Had Signed Cristiano Ronaldo & Steven Gerrard For Juventus; Calciopoli Was Invented - Former Coach Gigi Maifredi



A former Juve coach has spoken and some shocking revelations have been uncovered...

Former Juventus coach Gigi Maifredi claims Luciano Moggi was on the precipice of signing Cristiano Ronaldo and Steven Gerrard while he was a director at the club. The Italian also believes Calciopoli was invented to ruin the success enjoyed by the Bianconeri.


Maifredi was coach during the early 1990's and after years in the shadows, he has emerged with some striking revelations.
"Calciopoli? It's best to put a veil over this. But let me tell you this, Moggi and [Antonio] Giraudo had already bought Gerrard and Cristiano Ronaldo," Maifredi told RadioErre2 programme "Tutti Pazzi Per La Juve".
"The foundations for a Bianconeri dominion had been laid down and it would have lasted for at least 20 years. Instead certain people invented a scandal in order to kill such a strong team."
Maifredi was then keen to turn his attention to matters closer to home as Juventus struggle domestically and in Europe. The former Bianconeri tactician believes the club was wrong to offer the role to Ciro Ferrara. He suggests Ferrara has to go in order to rediscover success.


"Ferrara was a great player, but I don't think he was ready for the Juventus job. I think it was wrong to bring him in for the future as Juventus play to win instantly. You cannot wait around for success here," he added.
"Comparing this to my old Juve I can see that they are missing a coach who is right for such a competent and succesful club.


"If I was in Ferrara's place we would be ahead of Inter with such a great squad."

One great thing and Hope for Liverpool.....If the Special one Jose Mourinho is booted at inter....
Then he will be our saviour at LFC..................Imagine Jose at Anfield. Will it be a good thing...?
Comments please?

What about Guus Hiddink at Anfield..These are quality owes...We must act fast....and Im guaranteed that they will not play Lucas......
So Mourinho or Hiddink

Speaking of Gus Hiddink. .....If only Bafana Bafana waited............He was the perfect man........and his record speaks  .............

I rather pay him 1.7 million bars.............Abrhamovic Did?
