Welcome back!
Sorry for the delay, beginning of September is usually agitated.
Lots of Sports going around these days
Tennis: Nadal is the #1, but Federer won the US Open with a superb 2 weeks and showed the world he is still the man! 1 more major and he ties Sampras for most grand-slams in history. I don’t know about you guys, but I think that’s remarkable! By the end of next season he could as well be holding the record by himself…
Baseball: What about the Jays, eh? 10 in a row record ended against the White Sox. Playoffs are still mission impossible (without Tom cruise and the special effects) but at least baseball fans in Canada are having some fun. They deserve it.
Basketball: Manu got surgery and will be out for at least the first 6 weeks of the regular season (that starts in Late October). Some fans and media in San Antonio are trashing his decision to represent his country in the Olympics. First of all, he got injured playing for the Spurs. Secondly, he was fit to play in the Olympics as the doctors said. Third, if there is something American people should learn is that there is life beyond the United States of America. The same way Kobe Bryan, Chris Bosh, Lebron James, and Chris Paul attempt to leave everything for their country, other players do for their own countries. Or even with more passion. So for those who opened their mouth (or moved their fingers) to trash this issue here is my solution: Resign from your job (if you are in the media), stop talking to people (if you are just a fan), and leave the rest of the world alone!
Soccer: European Leagues are under way and there are a few things to notice. Ronaldinho and Shevchenko are in Milan now, but the team has not been found yet. Inter will not do well as long as Crespo is not Ibrahimovic’s sidekick. English soccer is overrated in North America, no matter how you look at it! Barcelona will struggle to find their new pace with the exits of Deco and Dinho, but with Messi and Etoo there, it will not take long.
International Soccer: Somebody please remind me why Riquelme is still playing for the Argentinean National Team? Is he giving someone high-ranked some extra-favours or something? That would be the only logical explanation. I do not know why Basile is still managing the team. Like Maradona said, start the team from Mascherano, add a young exceptional goalie in Carrizo, include Zanetti, Demichelis, Gago, Messi, and a combination of hardworking professionals and you have a winning tea. Forget about Riquelme! Please.
On the other hand, Canada failed to get a point in Mexico. That is understandable considering Mexico’s history and richness in players. However what does not make much sense is Canada’s lack of passion, heart, and skills. The team played for nothing. Did not attempt to attack, move the ball or defend. Mexico should have won by more goals, but the goalkeeper saved the day. Multiple times.
That’s it for the week everybody, hopefully I’ll see you all next week!
