Ultimate goal from kick-off… but was it better than Van Persie’s volley?

Frankly, I think this is a great goal.

It wasn't a lucky goal but a true volley.

Money Premier League?

Recently had an English family of 3 as passengers.

They are regular tourists to Singapore.

We started chatting about soccer.

The father is a die hard fan of Bristol Rovers.

A team in English League 2.

The son is a fan of Liverpool.

But he is currently a trainee at Arsenal's kids team.

So I asked him why he supported a League 2 team.

He said that he supported the team since childhood.

He also said that nowadays, the Premier League is not like last time.

Now it should be call Money Premier League.

Cos now majority of the players play for the highest bidders.

Now, not many players play for the love of the club.

And also the tickets had become very expensive.

Actually, I agreed with him.

I no longer want to watch it.

The league had become too money faced.

And I think its rare for players will play for 1 club from start to end of his career.

Its really sad...

Olympics: Police lose keys to Wembley Stadium

Police guarding Wembley Stadium where Olympic football matches are being played revealed Monday that they have lost a set of keys to the venue.

Officers searching the stadium in London ahead of the start of the Games misplaced the keys, prompting an investigation by Scotland Yard, but organisers insisted that security has not been compromised.
Organisers stressed that the keys were for internal doors and the relevant locks have now been changed.
Scotland Yard is not treating the incident as a criminal matter.
A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said: "On the morning of Tuesday 24 July officers on Olympic police operations at Wembley stadium reported that internal security keys, being used by them as part of searches, were missing."
She said officers searched the stadium but could not find the keys.
"Detectives also attended to ascertain if there was any evidence of criminal offences," the spokeswoman said. "There's none at this time."
She added: "There is absolutely no security concern in relation to the stadium as measures were taken immediately to secure all key areas of the venue."
A spokesman for London 2012 dismissed fears that security had been breached.
"These were internal keys, locks have been changed and the security of the venue has not been compromised in any way," he said.
Wembley, England's national stadium, is one of six venues being used for the football tournament and hosted Great Britain men's 3-1 victory over the United Arab Emirates on Sunday.
Both gold medal matches will be played there.

PS:

So important, also can lose?

So does this proved that they are not really prepared for it?

How can they not had backup keys for it?

Euro 2012 final

Haha...I thought the final will be Spain vs Germany.
Boy, I was wrong.
But at the point Italy's win over England, I was wondering if Italy will be in the final.
Why?
Cos they didn't play well in their 1st 4 matches.
And yet they go through.
So just wondering if Italy will win it.
Why?
Cos maybe lady luck is with them.

Portuguese Liga club plays match with just eight players

After months of unpaid wages, 16 players for Portuguese Liga club Leiria walked out on the team Friday. That left the last place club already doomed to relegation with just eight players available for Sunday's match against Feirense and since the minimum number of footballers required to play a match is seven, the game was played.

With four players on loan from other clubs (three from Benfica), the Leiria eight actually held off Feirense for 45 minutes before they finally scored a goal and went on to beat their undermanned opponents 4-0. It was a noble effort from the Leiria players, who managed to keep the club from being hit with financial penalties and disciplinary action by avoiding a forfeited match. Next week, however, whatever Leiria players are left will have to travel to the Estadio da Luz to play second-place Benfica and that could get ugly.

PS:

Well, I didn't know for a match to be play, each team must fielded at least 7 players.

For this match, 8 against 11, 4-0 final score is quite decent.
