I'm ready for Mexico

I will be going to Mexico this Christmas with my parents and brother to visit some of our family that lives up there. I am excited to go and have a month vacation, before the spring semester. We will be going to Guanajuato which is pretty close to Mexico City. Also, we will be going to Acapulco which is very similiar but not as popular as Cancun. i think going to Acapulco is the best. I have been there before, and there is great entertainment there. There are casinos, beaches, lots of good seafood, alot of shops and malls, and a lot of music entertainment. I am excited to go to their Hard Rock Cafe over there which is really great. There are alot of clubs and tourist attractions there. There are also water sports and water parks. We will probably be there for two weeks and the other two weeks in Guanajuato. Guanajuato is cool too though, because i have alot of cousins there to hang out with, and we usually go on camping trips. I can't wait for the fall semester to be over, so i can be over there.

Kaka, Messi, or Cristiano Ronaldo?

Kaka, Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo are all very talented professional soccer players. What's unique about them is that they are all fighting to win the 2007 World Player of the Year award. FIFA chose these three finalists after going throught the shortlist of good players throughtout the year. Kaka, who is still quite young, is already going the win the golden boot award for the Champion's League title they had last year as he scored the most goals with ten. Messi has been playing very well. He is very young, fast, talented, skillful, and a huge goal scorer as many compare him with Maradona because of their height and same soccer style. He scored a hat trick in one league game and has been playing well as he is already considered one of the best soccer players in the world. I think he is 19 years old which is very impressive. C. Ronaldo has always been considered one of the best for a long time as he is also very young at the age of about 22 years old. He is very skillfull and likes to show off his moves and tricks in games, but what is most important is he led his team Man U to win the EPL league last year with himself scoring 17 goals. He also led them to the semi-finals of the champions league, until they lost to Milan with Kaka on the team. I think Kaka is going to win, as most people expect, but who knows.

Real Madrid loses to Werder Breman

In the European Champions League, Real Madrid recently played against strong German team Werder Breman. Real Madrid lost with a disappointing 3-2 loss. The two goals scored by Madrid were by Robinho and Nistelrooy. Nistelrooy, also one of my favorite goal-scoring soccer players, scored a marvelous goal by chipping the goalie and a defender in a very difficult angle and crowded space. Robinho's goal was a very well placed shot to the lower right corner. Werder Breman scored some pretty good goals as well, but i did not want them to win. I think Real Madrid could have played better, while the game seemed way too slow for each team. They will have to win against them in the second round to be better off in the tournament. Some teams that seem to be doing very well in the Champions League are Manchester United, Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Barcelona. I hope to see Real Madrid improve their game and win games so they can have a better chance at the tournament.

Liverpool vs. Fullham

I was watching Liverpool vs. Fullham play on tv this weekend. I thought the game was pretty good. Fullham had many shots and attempts to score, but just couldn't get the ball into the net. Liverpool played their usual tactics by touching and passing the ball numerous times before reaching the 18 to try to score. They like to play defensifly and keep the ball in the defense area and send long balls most of the time. it seemed that the forwards for Liverpool were just not shooting or getting any attempts. One of Liverpool's forwards had so many chances to score, but it was if the ball hated him, as he was so unlucky and did not score. Torres came in and scored a goal and later came a penalty kick from Gerard. the penalty kick was unfair as Crouch faked a trip by another player, but he actually tripped over his own legs. The game ended 2-0 as a win for Liverpool to fight for top positions in the table. At the moment, Arsenal is first with Man U second behind them.

Arsenal

Arsenal seemed to start off very slow, inconsistent, and showing too many mistakes in their first games of the season. Reasons causing this could have been because of the departure of Henry to Barcelona. Henry brought leadership and confidence and was a captain for the team, but because he left, it seemed that Arsenal was less confident and didn't have a superb striker on the team like Henry. Also, there were many injuries and problems with the club. For example, the club was deciding on keeping or firing coach Wagner because of the slow start of the season. Wagner has been coaching the club for many years now and even before star Henry signed to the club. Everything has changed now,though as they are in the top places in the league. They show great will and determination to win every game they play. They are also showing impressive talent from the veterans as well as the new and young players. They are scoring many goals and are being very consistent now. Also player Abedayor seems to be playing very well as he is the lead goal scorer on the team with many goals. He is scoring unbelievable goals and is now a starter for the team as well as one of the best players in the world right now. It seems that he is the new replacement for Henry.

Real Madrid dominates over Valencia

Real Madrid played a weak Valencia as they beat them with a humiliating defeat of 5-1. Valencia has had the weakest squad for a long time. They do not defend well and they mark their man very loosely. Real Madrid dominated in posession and they barely got the ball stolen from them. If they did , they were mistakes from their own team. They scored several goals after touching the ball many times. Goals were scored from Robinho,Sergio Ramos, Nistelrooy, and raul. Nistelrooy now has five goals in the league after scoring 2 in this game. The best goal was by Sergio Ramos in this game by an almost impossible shot from a very difficult angle.

Saw 4

Saw 4 is coming out this weekend. I have been waiting for this movie to come out ever since i saw Saw 3. I really liked the third movie, and i hope i like the fourth. The thing i like so much about these movies is ,there always seems to be a surprising or catcing moment at the end that makes it more confusing, until you think about it. Anyway, i am very excited about seeing it , and even though all the movies of Saw have been good so far, this probably should be the last one, because people will eventually get bored.
