My opinion on Chicharito has changed


While he still looks like a chihuahua or a rodent of sorts, due to the fact that his eyes are just way to close to each other, this interview has changed my opinion on the man quite a bit. While I for some reason thought that the kid seems somewhat arrogant, the interview portraits quite the opposite. It seems Chicha (which means little pea btw, in case you cared) is quite a humble fella who wants to do anything in his power to be successful with united. When asked about comparing himself with Messi, he calls himself a "simple footballer" begs the question if "simple footballers" like us are worth their paycheck but that of course is a whole new topic. But for now I take my hat off to the man, definitely rose up in my books, and might be a beer buddy soon.

here is the original interview:

[W]hen he was asked if he aspired to the status of the Argentinian double Ballon d'Or winner, Hernandez was quick to play down his achievements.

"No. I am a player of this great team," he said.

"What obsesses me is sweating this shirt to death, and I will never stop running.

"I don't aspire to be like Messi. I'm just a simple footballer."

"I'm not obsessed with goals. The goals are the result of the work of the whole team. The forwards only have the good fortune to score them. In a team like ours, even Edwin (van der Sar) can claim the goals."

Rooneys kid not intrested in scoring for United

so a couple of days ago we saw Ivanovic's son score at Stamford bridge, Rooney thought he'd give his son the same chance, placed the ball on the line (Speak about believing in your kid) but Kai simply walked next to it, so during all the title celebrations, some United fans may have felt chills after seeing what the next generation holds. Enjoy:

Branislav Ivanovic's son scores as many as Torres

Yea that's right, full Chelsea kit, check. name & number at the back, check. No contact dive, check. Scored one goal for Chelsea this season, check! You might say he is exactly the same person as Fernando, however I reckon they could sign him for less than 50 million. That said, sweet strike and a nice celebration.

Wayne Rooney shaves chest hair leaves 19

So he proves that he can count indeed. After united won the league last night, Wayne decided that it would be fun to do this. There isn't much to say really, except that the Beer mates might get awkward next time they meet up ;).

What if all the shots that hit the post (and stayed out) went in

That is exactly the question that this table answers, as you can see the gunners would have finally won the table again. But as some nice blokes in the comment section of "who ate all the pies" pointed out, it is a pointless table, because then you might as well have a what if all the shots that the goalie saved, went in table. Because hitting the post is essentially the same as having your shot saved, either you are unlucky on your shot just wasn't good enough. Nonetheless though I thought it was interesting enough to have a look, enjoy.

Bayern Munich reach their "goal" of securing third

Yes they have the possibility to play champions league next year, which is great, even if it was not the season you would wish for in Munich. A beautiful 8-1 victory away from home showed that the side can indeed play football, even if it came a little too late.

Mario Gomez completed a hat-trick yesterday and with that now holds Bayern's club record for most goals scored in one season, previously held by no other than Rummenigge. It was Bayerns biggest away win in the Bundesliga and St.Pauli's biggest loss in the Bundesliga. While as a Bayern fan I was cheering and am definitely happy that at least the champions league qualification is secured it does sting a little bit that it had to happen against st.Pauli, an overall lovable team with heart, which will be playing 2nd league again next year.

It does make you wonder though, if we would have played football like this all year, we would have won the league 5 rounds ago, and begs the question why we didn't. My favorite moment was after the game when the German media interviewed Jonker to ask if he was "eying the second place a little" to which he replied "why a little?" showing true spirit, because it really is still possible, and I know that I wont be the only Bayern fan that will also be cheering for Freiburg next week. so Stuttgart to come, 3 points that could potentially bring us the direct qualification to the champions league next year. Mia san Mia.
