Just when I started to think that football can still be fair and allow the better team to win (Spain beating Italy) this cruel match of tonight brought me to the reality of lack of justice in most football matches. I started watching the Germany vs. Turkey semi-final as a neutral. I was grateful for Germany after sending spoiled boy Cristiano Ronaldo packing in the quarter final and I enjoyed... [read more]

I am writing this post in the few hours before the Turkey-Croatia game trying to put my expectations of the three remaining matches of the Quarter Finals of the Euro 2008. I was thrilled to see Germany defeat Portugal. It seems that we Circassians have a special affiliation with Germany. Maybe two in each three Circassian people I know support Germany.

Although all of the boys and girls who have just took off their dipers and started... [read more]

When I say there is no soccer outside England I mean it. I have been following the English football since 1980 until ART has stolen the English league and started their monopoly. However, each time I get lucky enough to watch a match between two English sides or an English side in Europe I still confirm my belief in the English football.
