Estatic Argentina

Last night, saw the Arggies outclassed the Brazilians in Olympics football semi-finals, which saw rough in the second half play by the Brazilians and two of their players picking up red cards - what a disgrace!

Argentina will face Nigeria in the final. The win was inspired by Barcelona star Lionel Messi and Co against his former team mate Ronaldhino. Goals from Sergio Aguero and the captain Riquelme sunk the Samba boys resulting in a humiliating 3-0 defeat.

Non other than Argentinian and Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano has said that " the win was fantastic and beating Brazil is wonderful! ".His club manager Rafa Benitez will be proud of Mascherano if he wins the gold medal and comes back with a boost to serve his club.

For Brazil I guess they should be settling for the bronze medal and hope they don't repeat their antics against the Arggies.Hope that club scouts are monitoring all the youngsters in action in Beijing and bringing them to next level of their careers, especially playing in some of the best European clubs.

Fantastic Start To The Season

The EPL season has started with some great scores from some top flight teams, not to forget the newcomers as well. Liverpool, Chelsea and the young Gunners kicked off their EPL campaign with wins, meanwhile last season's champions Manchester United failed topic up maximum three points against stubborn Newcastle.

Newcomers Hull City won their first outing against Fulham and it gives them a big boost of confidence . Forget about Gareth Barry's transfer saga, Aston Villa are not distracted and showed this as they started with a win. In their hat-trick hero,Gabriel Agbonlahor I can see the potential of an England player.

Sadly the team Villa beat, Manchester City, are currently troubled by aninternal crisis.Lacking fire power up front has left Manchester United's Sir Alex Fergusona worried man, although he remains keen on signing Spurs' Dimitar Berbatov, which would complete the jigsaw puzzle in a partnership with Rooney and the injured Cristiano Ronaldo.

At the Emirates, the Gunners can play the most beautiful football in the EPL but are they good enough to land title? Honestly, I still missed Thierry Henry at Arsenal.

Some good signing such as Samir Nasri, who scored the winning goal on hisde but will improve the squad along with Carlos Vela, Aaron Ramsey and Lukasz Fabianski. But I would also like to see Theo Walcott more in the young Gunners squad and add more spice to the attack with Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor. The latter's new long-term contract is good news for Gunners fans.

Liverpool look like serious title contenders this season. Maybe the strike-force partnership of "El Nino" Torres and Robbie Keane could be the answer to the long 19-year wait to take the title back to Anfield.

With a new manager and a fabulous new player (Deco) scoring on his debut,Chelsea have all they need to be champions this season. The Blues withboss Luiz Felipe Scolari, look a more stronger squad with their experienced players and great signings. Winning more than a trophy could make Scolari the new "Special One."

The teams to watch are obviously the top four, but there should be some great action at Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Blackburn and Newcastle as they fight for European spots.

JEBBSEN AND JESSEN FUTSAL COMPETITION
# THE VERDICT #

Hmmm…

This requires post mortem. Two defeats in a row. Not expected at all. The score line suggests that there is a missing link that needs to be filled. Feedback? Some say it was due to silly errors and some lack of goal scoring power.

Whatever it may be it’s something that needs to be looked through. There has been suggestion that SGTI should organize more friendly tourneys. Definitely agreed.

Learn how to crawl and then we walk. That’s the saying that needs to be implemented. It was an upset hard to swallow. Well the idea is how do we come out of this? Take the defeat on your chin and walk high.

Lets take some positive’s and hope not to repeat mistakes. No point crying over split milk. The objective is to play as a team. If we can do that then anything is possible.

First game between CMC and SGTI resulted in a defeat. Scoreline 3 to 1. SGTI goal scored by Prakash junior.

Second game resulted in a defeat as well to MAS. Scoreline 2 to 1 and Khairy scored for SGTI.

Lets take this defeat out of our chest when the next friendly is organized. Until then cheers and keep rolling!
