Chelsea FC needs new focus and strength in the EPL

If you don’t know, Chelsea FC is my favorite soccer club team in the world, but they have been quite disappointing with there results as of late.  Drawing with Aston Villa [score 3-3] on Sunday (January 2, 2011) was a very terrible thing to see.  I don’t really care about the fact that managed to leave the game with 1 point, but they could have easily left with no points based on their performance.  But when that game got to 3-2 with Chelsea up, how the let Aston Villa gain back a goal within a mere 2 minutes to draw the game.  I know they realize that their powers are going down having started of the 2010-2011 season blazing with goals after goal, but didn’t plan well as their main players might be subjected to injury or illness.  With that said the balance of the team fell off drastically.  Chelsea so far, we are in 5th place, how can you let this happen? I can’t hate on the performance of the other top clubs such as (Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham HotSpur) , because clearly they doing they must and getting results.  Chelsea come on and work on getting refocused and solve your performance issues and regain glory on top of the table.

As I watch a quality soccer game at home #epl Manchester United vs Sunderland, to much delight as I look through my window it is snowing in New York. Today is December 26, 2010, official Boxing Day is some parts of the world, but just the day after christmas in New York City. There are still days to go before the ball drops and a new year is among us. Luckily before it snowed today I managed to have quite a fun time playing soccer outside in the morning from 7:30 am to 8:45 am, (you can check out the video of me outside right here) it was quite cold outside but it wasn’t anything I haven’t felt before. I haven’t played soccer in over 5 months I believe I didn’t have any soccer ball to play with, in which guess what my christmas present to myself this year?, you guessed it couple soccer balls from a nice christmas deal from modells.com (buy 2 get one free). Anyways, everyone have a great day, where ever in the world you are, and to my new york city friends, its snowing and tons more to come along the winter season.

Thanks for reading,

My 2008 Retirement Soccer Shoes: Tye Dye

RikLeave a comment

These are my Tye Dyed (rainbow-colored) soccer shoes I retired in 2008.  The bottom of the shoes was getting worn out and too smooth to grip the floor as they were street soccer shoes.  I also use to play in the winter with these shoes, so if ice was on the floor, oh boy I was in for a slippery ride.  Its kind of funny because I actually did fall badly one day on the ice and fell with a laugh, that I will NEVER admit it in person that I busted my buttock playing in the winter time on ice.  These are the things I reveal to people on my blog.

Fun Facts:

I loved these soccer shoes, and actually didn’t ever want to retire them.

I spent 19.99 for them on clearance on Modells.com around 2002, oh yea, FREE SHIPPING, they were the last pair.

I use to play in any weather with these shoes whether it was rain, hail, snow, or sun; and also any field whether street, grass, or turf.

People thought I was gay, because I had this sneakers back in High School, but I really didn’t care, my shoes was AWESOME.

*Every year I host a retirement party for all my old gadgets, equipments, and items I loved with a passion, whether I give them away for FREE, trash them, donate them, or they have passed on.  I take a picture as a remembrance of the good times and tell a story on what they mean to me.
