perfekte welle by juli:

if my german doesnt fail me, the song is jsut this message to this guy to wake up, to detach himself from the breakup, to move on. there's this part: ich bin hier, ich bin frei.(i am here, i am free). it's damn nice. it's like eva(the lead singer) calling out to the guy, whoever that is, to shout this out, to free himself.

free yourself.

went to modesto to eat and watch man utd lose 3-0 to chelsea. ok the game was quite lousy. wasnt really beautiful. and man utd was quite disappointing; ferguson may say they had chances etc etc, that the scoreline din reflect the run of play or wad, but the fact was still that they were dominated. and you get the impression that man utd is all about wayne rooney, and that the rest of the team isnt good enough for wayne rooney.

and when rooney got stretchered off, there were concerns, because it is world cup year. 41 days to go.

and i was thinking, if rooney is out of the world cup, england can kiss the world cup goodbye. even though i don't believe that england can win the world cup, i always say that the important thing is to get into the world cup, because once you are there, anything can seriously happen. it doesnt matter whether u r the top of the 32 teams or the bottom, you are there, anything can happen. but what is most important is to enjoy the tournament. this is the world cup analogy i like to use to drive my message across, that sometimes ranking isnt that important, as long as you are in.

despite this analogy, i still don't believe that england can win the world cup. neither can angola, for example. even though things with a probability of 0.0000000001 can still happen. again it shows that there really isnt 100 percent in this world. anyway i am digressing.

back to rooney, england and the world cup. if, a very big IF that england win the world cup, it will all boil down to rooney. frankly, i dun believe lampard is half as fantastic as people say he is. he has never impressed me. of cos he got good shooting abilities, but most of the time, he isnt in the game, maybe due to chelsea's style of play. liek today, there was one occasion when he got the ball, and i realised that he WAS playing. gerrard is good, he is a very big player for liverpool, but he cant win the tournament. he can pop up and score important goals, make important plays, but he wun win the world cup for u. the most important player is the playmaker. rooney is that playmaker for england, the matchwinner. the one whom you can count on to have that one moment of magic, one moment of brilliance to win the game. even if he has an off game, i will still keep him on the field, because i noe he jsut needs one touch. the central midfielders play very important roles, but they are limited. and mostly, they rely on team effort. the whole team must play well together. to win a tournament, you need to score goals. the playmaker creates and scores. that is why he is the most important man. and he is different: he alone can make the difference; he doesnt need the whole team to play well.

nevertheless, i believe rooney will recover for the world cup. the test results arent yet though.
