Haigh...

Well it has been a tiring day for me so far, having play soccer for the first time in 3 weeks and it feels so tiring. It means that I need to get used to playing soccer again regularly in order to gain full fitness. Studying for exam has taken out my time for sport and I didn't blame the exam for the lack of fitness of mine. The soccer session today is quite cool, i spent the first hour being tortured as a Goalkeeper until there are a few kids coming into the field. We asked to play with us and we finally decided to play a mini game. When looking at one of the little boy kicking the ball, I have the feeling that one of them is skillful enough but certainly lack of physical since they are around 9-13 years old. Lol !!

Anyway, one if the kid named Ante or something showing promising soccer skills. He is playing like Messi or David Moreno, one of Real Madrid promising youster on their Castilla rank. Even though that almost all of us didn't have the match fitness on the mini game, we quite enjoy the session. Even though I keep forgetting myself by swearing in front of the kids (I hope they have bad hearing..) but it was fun and I am certainly looking forward to play more soccer when I'm going back to Indonesia. Anyway holiday is coming soon and me and my friends have already planned to go on a one week trip to Melbourne and Sydney. We'll be leaving this Saturday morning and I am certainly looking forward to it!! I never actually spend holiday time going on a trip with so many of my friends like this so I reckon this trip is going to be awesome!

Enough of my private life and my plan, let's talk a bit more about how the football transfer window keep getting hot in the past few days. As usual, my favourite club, Juventus keep headlining most of the news with their transfer news. The latest one is regarding the exchange between Cannavaro and Gabriel Milito (If Juve managed to sign him) deeply worrying. I think both defender is a world class central defender but Canna is much older than Milito and for the sake of regeneration Juve better stop thinking about buying quality defender with the age above 32.

The next one I want to talk about is regarding Tiago. The former Chelsea midfielder is not the best central midfield in the world and I think the 12 million pounds price tag is too expensive for him. It is true that he is versatile and can play anywhere in the midfield and he is an all-rounder midfielder which certainly will be useful. I just hope Juve won't pay 12 million pounds to Lyon just to acquire Tiago. It certainly not a bad move but I am expecting the transfer fee to be slightly lower than his price tag. Considering he is always the first choice for Lyon first eleven, I certainly hope he can fill the central midfield position in Juve perfectly since Juve is in deep need of a good quality midfielder to challenge the top spot.

Finally, the first big signing that Juventus has made in this transfer window certainly excited me a lot. I used to looking down on him and almost all of my friend mocking that he will join Juve someday, which is come true on this transfer window! After looking at how he is doing in the past 2 seasons and his performance in World Cup, I have no doubt about his skills and I am actually glad that he choose to join Juve. This man that I was talking about is no other than Vincenzo Iaquinta. The versatile forward join Juve for 8 million pounds plus the ownership of 2 Juve youngster. He bagged 14 goals in the league last season and his performance certainly not disappointing for me. Juve has made the right choice in acquiring his service and I have no doubt that he can either replace Trezeguet or playing along side him just perfectly.

BoA Ed Hardy Cap!

I saw this cap on of BoA's forum a while back and have been dying to get it. Obviously i'm not planning to go either to Korea or Japan to get this cap but i know there is a store called Mises Exclusive on floor 9 in Cathay Cineleisure in Singapore. I have no plan yet in transiting into Singapore but i am hoping that i will be able to go to Singapore in order to get this cap. I don't know it is for man or woman but if it is for woman i will keep it in my place just for collection. If anyone read this and in Singapore and is kindly enough to get this cap for me...that would be awesome!

There are 2 version of this cap, black and purple and i was hoping to get the black one since it is my favourite colour.
She is just so gorgeous when she wore the cap and i think Ed Hardy design are quite cool. I will certainly buy another cap from Ed Hardy because i like the skull design.

Here is the video of her when she is wearing the Ed Hardy cap on her recent Made In Twenty Tour in Japan. Enjoy!!

Romance of La Liga...

There are so many major movement in the transfer window. There are many clubs try to strengthen themselves ahead the next season which will start within 2 months. Some of the club are renewing contract of their star player and the rest are chasing their man with any cost. Last season is pretty interesting especially there are many people believe how La Liga is very competitive because the Tittle race dragged into the last match of the day.

In truth, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Sevilla did not compete for the title until the last day, but on the other hand, their form are inconsistent this season and it shows clearly how Real Madrid able to win this league. Barcelona and Sevilla are going very strong at the first half of the season but there are many factors that cause them to free fall in the term of their form. Barcelona rocked by the injury of Lionel Messi and Samuel Eto'o and do not forget that there are report regarding the trouble in the changing room between Eto'o, Ronaldinho and the manager Ridjkaard. The sum of all those problems are inconsistent form for almost the second half of the season. Even though Barcelona already knocked out of the Champions League on the first round of elimination stage by Liverpool, they are just unable to focus on their La Liga tittle race and even embarassed by Getafe in the Spanish Cup. Having beat them 5-2 at home and Messi scoring wonderful goal like Maradona, they are playing like a bunch of lifeless football player and beaten down 4-0 by Getafe. To make things worst, they have the chance to lead on points on week 37 of La Liga but they are hold to draw 2-2 by their bitter city rival, Espanyol! Raul Tamudo scores late with Van Nistelrooy slotting in for Real Madrid not too long with Tamudo's goal. That sums up how unlucky Barca this season.

On the other hand, Real Madrid as usual on the spending spree at the beginning of the season. The arrival of Fabio Cannavaro, Mahamadou Diarra, Emerson, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Jose Antonio Reyes didn't help them to much. They are losing heavily on home by Recreativo and suffered inconsistency in form for quite a lot of matches. Come January and they decided to spend more on new recruitment. They manage to sign trio hot prospect for the future, Marcelo, Gonzalo Higuain and Fernando Gago. They manage to perform consistently on the last 2 months approaching the end of the season. The rising new right defender Miguel Torres help to fill in Salgado and Cicinho role on the right back. David Beckham and Roberto Carlos saying goodbye to the Merengues fans at the end of the season as they are signing on bosman rule with L.A Galaxy and latter for Fenerbahce. Real Madrid will be biting their nails now regarding Beckham transfer to Galaxy since the person who is quite responsible for the consecutive win and increase in form of the Merengues. Pedja and Calderon will be wishing that they extend the contract of the former England skipper earlier in the season. Even though that they may not deserve the title, they done just enough to outperform the other two title contenders, Barca and Sevilla. Real Madrid will be wondering how they will do without Beckham and Carlos next season and they certainly need to build up the squad and replace them with the appropriate replacement.

That is the romance of La Liga by me and i wish i can talk more about Sevilla but i haven't seen them playing a lot this season so i don't have enough knowledge to judge how they are playing this season but i certainly know they are on of the most improved club for this season La Liga else than Real Zaragoza.
