This weekend in all (sport-wise)
Sep 10th, 2007 by Ashley
It’s bad enough to watch (okay, listen. I’m so glad I didn’t watch.) the A’s being swept by Rangers, who now shared, gladly, the bottom of the division with A’s, there was no club football to root for this weekend! Last week, when Chelsea were defeated by 2-0, the A’s obliged with a 8-7 win over the Tigers to comfort my broken heart. However, I’d have to admit that given the choice, I’d rather see Cech getting a clean sheet than the A’s win (they’re out of contention anyways. <- trying to justify myself.) But instead of a club football match that I can root and cheer for while lamenting the downfall of our 2007 Oakland A's, I was provided with a hundred and thirteen international matches (actually twenty, but felt like more) that I care little about. It was the International week for European football, presenting to you the Euro '08 qualifying round. Yeah, my favorite Croatians are defending their first place in Group E, but the match was not broadcast at all. Even though they beaten Estonia by two-nil and maintained the leader place in the group with 20 points (while Russia following closely behind with 18 points and England 17), not being able to watch the game didn't help my sullen mood. Anyways, I got to watch England v Israel match, yay~ (a disheartened exclaim) There were 5 blues on the pitch and most of them did pretty well, especially our sparkling right wing Shuan Wright-Phillip. But honestly, I’d rather see them shine in blues than risking injury to play with heart and soul for a team that might, thought not likely, threaten Croatia’s standing. And too bad that Paul Robinson didn’t do anything funny. I’m very disappointed at him.
So, Croatia (N. Kovac, Kranjčar, Srna, Simic) 2-0 Estonia, England (JT, SWP, ACole, JCole) 3-0 Israel, San Marino 0-3 Czech Republic (Cech, Ujfalusi), Italy 0-0 France (Makelele, Malouda), Iceland (why wasn’t Gudjohnsen in the lineup? injured?) 1-1 Spain, Poland (Boruc, Dudka) 2-2 Portugal.
這張的重點應該是馬路達人的, 但一開這張照片, 我腦海浮現的卻是 “果然是義大利男模隊!” =D~
