Passion

Today I decided to spend my valuable time filtering through hours and hours of football videos in an attempt to capture the essence of football passion. Some of these vidoes are top notch, truly world class. I'm sure you've seen some of them before but non the less I present to you; Jordans Top 7 Football Passion Videos.

#1 - No contest. Won hands down.

A nice find.

Browsing through the internet, as I do from time to time, I came across a pretty funny video.
Enjoy.
That TV show is actually hilarious and I recommend watching some other youtube videos.

Update

I'm sure most of you are well aware of the Champions League results so I won't blab on about that too much. Here's a quick summary:

Man U showed Milan how it's done in an impressive performance that truly displays the quality of football in the Premier League. Highlights were of course Rooney's two goals, Ji Sung Parks nice finish and to a lesser extent Fletchers goal.

Lyon scraped past Real Madrid in what turned out to be a fairly interesting competition. When Ronaldo scored in the sixth minute it looked like an uphill battle for the French team but Pjanić nabbed it in the 75th minute before Lyon shut up shop and defended waves of Real Madrid attacks. As Madrid pushed higher and higher up there were two quality chances where Lyon could of sealed it but both chances were scoffed. Lyon showed that they're no push overs and I was pretty impressed.

Arsenal chopped up Porto in what was a surprisingly boring match excluding Nasri's goal which was a tasty combination of a quality player and woe full defending.

Bayern Munich went through on away goals which is good for me as everyone loves Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben, von Bommel, Phillip Lahm (An ex-player of mine in Fifa manager mode) and Miroslav Klose to name a few

Lastly down in the depths of the Europa Cup liverpool (don't deserve a capital L) managed to rub salt in their wounds with a performance that reminds one of Derby County.

"This is how many months I'll still be at this club"

Korea will grow larger.

When they're not sitting around playing Starcraft, they're causing trouble for Australia. That's right I'm talking about Korea. Seongnam Chunma, the pinnacle of Korean football has given the nation something to talk about after beating Melbourne in a game with a fair few talking points.

Seongnam Chunma defenders had a quality game, no slip ups, good strong tackles, yada yada but in all fairness they were playing a team that were still in bed. 48 hours after an exhausting semi final against Sydney, poor little Melbourne were expected to keep their Asian Champions League hopes alive by at least taking a point against Seongnam Chunma.
Their finishing was poor at best, they made numerous mistakes and who can blame them? Two games in such a short space of time is madness.

To add to the occasion the pitch was in a bad shape. Yun Young-Sun grabs the ball in the midfield, beats Nick Ward, looses his footing in a sand pit and plummets head first into the dirt. Fairly funny yes but it's not great for the player. Every time something good looked about to happen the ball would bobble and go mental.

Meanwhile in other news: Liverpool managed to dent their ambitions of a top four finish with a 1-0 loss to the almighty Wigan.

The ups and downs of finals.

On Sunday I witnessed the Phoenix, Newcastle match and it reminded me of the many joys of football. Despite having no real links with either team (I was going for Newcastle because of it's name, it's manager who I quite like and because they didn't knock Glory out) I found myself really getting into the game. It was quite a spectacle, everyone ran themselves into the ground and by the 75th minute they were exhausted. The suspense of the extra time, the desperation in the players, the silent prayers from the fans. It's just brilliant.

Unfortunately it's not all praise today. I feel slightly hard done by. Last week Glory played well, they were the better side, they came so very, very close to bringing home a finals match. They had to compete in the fortress of a stadium that is Westpac Stadium. Melbourne and Sydney got to have two legs, which is fair, what bothers me is why couldn't we have two legs? I can see only benefits, both sets of fans are happier, more money is coming into the game and no team is advantaged. The only reason Glory lost is because it didn't have the shed at it's back.

Oh and another thing. The finals for the fourth Champions League spot is an absolute joke.
Can you imagine if Fulham got into the Champions League? It's adding to fixture congestion and is just downright stealing from poor little liverpool (Who'll probably come fourth.)

Why hello there.

After a champions league match at 3.30 in the morning there is very little to do, I can't play football manager because my shouting will surely wake the folks and there's precious little all on Tv. So I figured I'd start a blog focusing on The Beautiful Game. This will hopefully fill the void left between 5.30 and 7.30am and who knows, maybe a football debate might kick off in the comments and if there's one thing I love, it's a football debate. Essentially this is going to be full of the bias ramblings of an Englishman but listen up and you might learn a few things.
