Football: What was and what will be...

Summary from England
Chelsea won the league
Liverpool won the FA cup
Arsenal reached a Champions League Final
Man United oh i forgot they too won something its called a Carling Cup
:)

what i didn't like
Real did not win anything (again!)
Barcelona won everyhting (i hate that even more..and i love Ronaldinho, Messi but hate their newly developed we are the ebst arrogance..)
Inter did not win anything (yup when was the last time)
Roma did not win anyhting (do you really think there will be another time)

I am happy that
Juventus might be demoted to Serie B - those cheating lying b.........s deserve that
That Chelsea have Ballack and will buy one more top class striker and defender both of whom we need badly...
That the EPL will be better fought and no not because i think Man United will compete but because so will Liverpool
That Barcelona can only go down now, as others play catch up
That i can't find a single good match ticket for the world cup for under 300$

I am surprised that
Man United are going to get rid of Nistelroy...funny..give him to us at Chelsea or even Liverpool, please keep him in the EPL, he makes things exciting, is darned good and at 10M is a bargain...
Man United are actually planning to build thier team around a Non UK (Point 1), non white (Point 2) midfielder...hmmm
Didier Drogba actually thinks he will get a better deal at another club and as much as he has impressed in the latter part of the season he is not a Shevchenko...
That the stupid England coach picked Theo Walcott and not the highest (English) scorer in the EPL for the World Cup (Bent) and yes they did pick an English coach to take over afterwards. the funny part is nobody knows what Walcott can do, cause nobody has seen him play ...and Arsene Wenger said it will be a good experience for Walcott and they will find out that he is quite good. And then he promptly added that Walcott is unlike to even go to France for the Champions league..hmmm, he must be pretty good

4 Players that you must watch at the world cup:
- Carlos Tevez (Argentina and Corinthians, He made some of the Brazilian defenders look like juveniles, he is pretty good and in Argentina he will have a damn good midfield)
- Riquelme (Argentina and Villareal, he is brilliant and though Ronaldinho and Barca have hogged the limelight, in Argentina he will have a world class team)
- Fernando Torres (Spain and Atletico Madrid, brilliant guy and at Atletico he gets no support, he is their captain and they beat Barca both times, in fact they have beaten Barca on 5 out of 6 occasions lately, Torres scoring 7 goals, he is good, fast, and with Xabi, Fabregas and Reyes behind him, really would depend on how far Spain can go)
- Dao Prso (Croatia and Rangers, unknown to most, have seen him play for Rangers and heard about his Croatia exploits, he is fast, strong like Vieri in his heyday, but how far will Croatia get?)
(This is beyond of course Ronaldinho, Cole, and all the other stars...these guys are a joy to watch..have fun)

What i dream about
is an Argentina-Brazil final in the world cup. Losing semifinalists - England and Holland (as always)

What I think will happen
Brazil-Italy final
Losing semi finalists - Germany or Argentina and one surprise team

Have fun watching the world cup, read the Guardian for updates (write dirty emails about columnist Kevin McCarra to the editor), read my blog, email me..and celebrate for
the summer...
