Kick Off!: Whats Capello doing?

CrazyReD — Mon, 04 Sep 2006 03:42:00 -0400

First off I'm not a Real Madrid supporter, I don't hate'em but they arn't my first choice team.

However, what Capello is doing to Real is just sad he's killing the team.

First stupid move, Play Cassano. Thats a stupid move, simple because Cassano sucks Robinho can fill his shoes better or give it to Ronaldo when he's back, Although I prefer Robinho starting.

Second stupid move, get Reyes and lose Baptista, seriously thats a big downgrade Baptista is way better then Reyes. Wenger got a steal there.

Third stupid move, bench Cicinho and declare him available for sale (8mil euro) anyone who saw Brazil vs Argentine saw how good Cicinho is, and how he can provide fire power up front and still cover back.

Finally, Robinho is an amazing player Capelly needs to find a place for him in the starting 11.

lastly, I hope Capello isn't trying to make Real play defensivly, it's not the Italian Seria A it's the Spanish league ;)

Kick Off!: Ronaldinho

CrazyReD — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 08:43:00 -0400

There's been a lot of e-mails, forum threads about Ronaldinho saying he dosn't support lebanon and that all lebanese children are terrorists. Moreover, him helping the zionist regime children and not wanting to help the lebanese chlidren.

Finally and through both Barcelona's offical website and Ronaldinho's offical website the following statement have been made regarding the issue

"It is absolutely false and cruel to claim that I said I don't care about children being killed. I have always been a supporter of children's rights and anybody who knows me knows that I consider these declarations being passed off as mine as being barbaric". The player fervently insists that he has not made any kind of announcement about his opinions of the conflict.

Ronaldinho already denied making these comments last week in his personal website www.ronaldinhogaucho.com. Here he says that "no social organisation has contacted me in relation to this conflict and that is why I have not made the commitment to participate in any kind of event. My desire is for all this to be resolved as soon as possible and for our dream of peace to become a reality." Ronaldinho insists, as he states in this clarification, that "I hope to be able to continue contributing to improving the world we live in and adding my grain of sand by using sport to help educate our young people".

So there you have it right from Ronaldinho's mouth.

so to the ones who started bashing Ronaldinho I'd like to say

Bandwagooners arn't welcome ;)

Kick Off!: Slow Dance

CrazyReD — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 08:38:00 -0400

Slow Dance

This is a poem written by a teenager with cancer.

She wants to see how many people get her poem.

It is quite the poem. Please pass it on.

This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital.

It! was sent by a medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in the closing
statement AFTER THE POEM.

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids

On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain

Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?

Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.

Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won't last.

Do you run through each day

On the fly?

When you ask How are you?

Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done!

Do you lie in your bed

With the next hundred chores

Running through your head?

You'd better slow down

Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won't last.

Ever told your child,

We'll do it tomorrow?

And in your haste,

Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,

Let a good friendship die

Cause you never had time

To call and say,"Hi"

You'd better slow down.

Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere

You miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day,

It is like an unopened gift....

Thrown away.

Life is not a race.

Do take it slower

Hear the music

Before the song is over.

--------------------

FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COUNT.

Dear All:

PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know - even to those you don't
know! It is the request of a special girl who will soon leave this world
due to cancer.

This young girl has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted
to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since
she never will.

She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and
have a family of her own.

By you sending this to as many people as possible, you can give her and her
family a little hope, because with every name that this is sent to, The
American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and
recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know that we can at
least send it to 5 or 6. It's not even your money, just your time!

PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST

Kick Off!: What's wrong with this pic?

CrazyReD — Thu, 24 Aug 2006 17:28:00 -0400

Can anyone spot the person who doesn't belong there?

Here's a hint

Best Goal Keeper: Lehmann (Arsenal)
Best Defender: Puyol (Barcelona)
Best Midfielder: Deco (Barcelona)
Best Attacker: Eto (Barcelona)
Best Player: Ronaldinho

ok so fashion wise Eto is the odd man out. Should've worn a white suit.
Club wise Lehmann is out

my 2 cents Lehmann, Puyol and Ronaldhinho deserve it not so sure bout Deco and Eto. Especially Eto where I think Henry deserves it more. In my Opinion Ronaldinho makes Eto look good.

Kick Off!: Ronaldo to AC-Milan??

CrazyReD — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 05:30:00 -0400

The Gazzetta dello Sport has reported that If Milan manage to win against Red Star Belgrade they'll use the money the receive from qualifying to the Champions League group stage (10 million euros) to finance Ronaldo's move from Real to Ac.

This move might be a good one for Ronaldo, though it would suck for Inter fan's (like me). Well all the best to the phenomenon and hope AC don't kill his talent like they did with Rivaldo.

Kick Off!: Your Face in the game!!

CrazyReD — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 05:12:00 -0400

The image you see is made possible by the new xbox 360 "web" cam. It enables the player to have his picture taken and digitally made so that the gamer can use his/her face in games where you can create your own player.

Can you imagine you being a karacther in the next mortal kombat. Sounds sweet.

Below is an image of the "web cam" that a "toy's r us" sold to a lucky person on Aug 18th instead of Sept 19th.
p.s. News taken from Gzmondo.

Kick Off!: Arab Joke

CrazyReD — Thu, 17 Aug 2006 05:38:00 -0400

The Advantage of Being an ARAB

An old Arab lived close to New York City for more than 40 years.
One day, he decided that he would love to plant potatoes and herbs in his garden, but he knew he was alone and too old and weak.

His son was in college in Paris, so the old man sent him an e-mail
explaining the problem:

"Beloved son, I am very sad, because I can't plant potatoes in my garden.
I am sure, if only you were here, that you would help me and dig up the garden for me. I love you, your father."

-------------------------------

Sure it's funny but the reality is, this is the freedom arabs enjoy in the land of the "free"

The following day, the old man received a response e-mail from his son:

"Beloved father, please don't touch the garden. That is where I have hidden 'the THING.' I love you, too, Ahmed."

At 4pm the FBI and the Rangers visited the house of the old man and took the whole garden apart, searching every inch. But they couldn't find anything. Disappointed, they left the house.

The next day, the old man received another e-mail from his son:

"Beloved father, I hope the garden is dug up by now and you can plant your potatoes. That is all I could do for you from here. Your loving son, Ahmed".

Kick Off!: Wii Priced?

CrazyReD — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 06:01:00 -0400

Engadgent and IGN both are reporting the Wii's price will be in the range of 170-250 US dollars. Moreover, you won't have to pay a penny to play games online.

Unlike Sony's online service where each game has it own online price or Xbox's live service where you pay $50 per year. However since the Wii isn't out yet it's to early to judge on how the online gaming service would be like.

Details are supposed to be conformed in September, while the launch date is in November till then it's a waiting game.

Kick Off!: Oman vs Pakistan I

CrazyReD — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 05:31:00 -0400

Oman's next game for the Asian Cup Qualification is against pakistan. The game will be on the 16th of August and if you want to watch it you need to have carmin the frog's ('9ifda3 kamil) ART sports channel to watch the game.

Whats worse the Omani tv tried to buy the rights but unfortunatley ART were asking for a very large sum of money. Which is unreasonable to pay.

Back to the game.

UAE suffered alot and it wasn't until the 70th minute that they were able to break the Paki's defence and score 4 goals. Therefore, Oman needs to find a way to break the wall of defence. To make matters worse, Oman will be missing Ali AL-Habsi and Ahmed Mubark (kano) to Injure, Mohammed Rabe'ee and Fouzi Basheer because of suspensions.

The 22 players that have been called up are: Sulaiman Khamees, Bader Juma'a, Sulaiman Al-Shekeli, Anwar Al-Alawai, Ahmed Hadid, Juma'a Abdullah, Mohammed Taqi, Billal Oubaid, Younes AL-Mushefri, Ismaeel AL-Ajmi, Yousuf Sha'aban, Imad Al-Hosni, Khalifa Ayil, Ali Saleem, Saeed Al-Shoon, Hussien Modhafar, Mohammed Mubark, Mohammed Hamd, Badir Al-Maimani, Hussien Mustahil, Abdullah Kamona, Hashim Salih, and Sultan Al-Toqi.

The team usually plays with the 3-5-2 formation. This is how I hope matchalla plays'em

Suliman Khamis as the goal keeper

Juma'a Al Wahibi , Hussien Mustahil, and Abdullah Kamona as the three defenders

Ismaeel Al Ajmi, Hussien Modhafar, Ahmed Hadied, Ahmed Kano, and Badir Al-Maimani as the 5 midfielders

Hashim Salih, and Mohammed Taqi as the strikers

The reason that Imad isn't in the line up is because I read that he has an injury but if he is able to play then I see him taking Hashim's place

All the best to the Red's

Kick Off!: Political View

CrazyReD — Sun, 13 Aug 2006 08:40:00 -0400

I'm not much into politics but what has to be said has to be said.

The war in Lebanon.

I liked what Galloway said in his interview with sky news " you should look back to more then 4 weeks time to understand the crisis"

The Zionists are supposedly this undefeatable warrior similar to Goliath and Hezbollah was supposed to be this small fish similar to yup you guessed it David. Indeed just like the story David is winning.

People wonder how can Hezbollah be winning the answer is simple they are defending their country with their blood and they aren't afraid of death any REAL Muslim would know how precious the Shahada is.

It's not like Al-Qaida doing the states work bombing and killing innocent people, Hezbollah are fighting to free their land Said Hassan Nasser Allah even warned Haifa's residence to flee because they'll attack where as the Zionists go to innocent people and slaughter everyone man, woman, child or elderly.

Why do I say Al-Qaida is doing the states work well so far all that their attacks have done is weaken Islam and create more hatred towards Muslims. However, look at what's Hezbollah is doing it's uniting all the Muslims whether shia'a, sunni or any other sect under one flag that Islam. Hezbollah didn't kidnap the two Zionist soldiers to free shia'a prisoners they did it to free LEBANESE prisoners. Another argument is I don't see a shop selling Hezbollah t-shirts where as there isn't a shop that's not selling T-shirts with OBL in them.

what's really funny is what the Saudi, Jordanian, and Egyptian government said when they condemned Hezbollah for their actions and now it's those governments that are sitting in shame and what a shame it is the so called kings aren't able to send 10 soldiers to help a fellow Arabian and Muslim country. Some Arabian countries have F-16's and other weaponry that they won't use and yet non are donating them to help a better cause. Even worse, Qatar allowing the states to use it's land and sea to fly out and hit their brothers in Lebanon.

Funny how Iran are labeled as terrorists because they are the ones giving Hezbollah the weapons while the States and Britain are saints. When in fact it's the States and Britain that are giving the Zionist regime the fire power to kill innocents.

In all of the history I know 3 rulers did what they could for their country and for Islam and those are: Jamal Abdul Nasser, King Faisal and Rafiq Harirry and all three may they rest in peace were killed because they chose to refuse kissing the US's ass and fight for the freedom of their people and religion.

In the end the only way that the rest of the rulers will do anything is if the Zionists make the grave mistake and bomb Nancy Ajram's and Haifa'a Wahbi's house.

Note: One man's terrorists is another man's Freedom Fighter. I stand by what I said and won't change my opinion so spare me the useless comments trying to prove me wrong

Kick Off!: Some add on's

CrazyReD — Sun, 13 Aug 2006 08:31:00 -0400

Well for those who noticed now I've my console games under each post kool ha.

do give it a shot

What FF7: Advent Children Character Are You?

Hosted by theOtaku.com: Anime. Done right.

Kick Off!: New Season

CrazyReD — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 18:23:00 -0400

Both the French and German leagues have started. Unfortunately not really interested in them. I wish PSG would do something in the French league but doubt that Lyon are just to good there as for the German league I think Bayern will struggle this season.

Now comes the Italian League: W/O Juve, the league is really missing. It's been a real mess with all the players that departured Juve. Internazional (a.k.a Inter Milan) has strengthened it's team. Although, I don't really get why they would want Ibra and sell Martins, unless they sell Adriano which I think would be a big mistake, so all the Best to Inter.

There's a rumor linking Ronaldo to A.C Milan which should be interesting.

Finally the Spanish league: Real has loaded up in every position and again they bought more strikers. I still think if you can get Ronaldo back in shape he's much better then any other striker they have right now. However, I'm not capello and I don't get paid to make these decisions. Barca on the other hand have improved where it really matters, after losing Larson they got Gudjohnsen who's been impressive so far in the friendlies, Thuram and Zambrota. Messi, Ronaldinho are still there another player to keep an eye for is Dos Santos.

oh yeah the English league not really a big fan of it Arsenal need to find a striker and a couple of defenders, Man Utd need to find a striker, Chelsea need to stop buying so many players, Liverpool I have no Idea what to say and finally all the best to Ali in Bolton

Kick Off!: World Cup Reflection

CrazyReD — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 18:14:00 -0400

Since I wasn't blogging when the world cup started I'll share my opinion now.

First, to those who know me, know that I support the Brazilian team after Oman. Unfortunately the only game that Brazil really played like BRAZIL was against Japan.

I have no Idea why against France Robinho wasn't playing everywhere I read, the line up had Robinho.

Ronaldo is a great striker but Robinho makes the phenomenon look even better. Moreover, Ronaldinho wasn't even playing at the position he plays for in Barca. Anyone who's been watching or reading Barca's friendly games can see that Ronaldinho hasn't lost his touch so what was the coach doing that I'll never know.

Now for Italy winning the cup: The team sucked plain and simple getting a penalty in the last second against Australia "What up with that"?. Even against Germany they played a good first half but then went back to the "Classic Italy" playing all defensive to make it worse they played defensive against France in the Final.

Zizo's head butt: Enough been said already.

In the end the referring sucked, final sucked, 2002 was much better c ya again in 2010 and hopefully (inshallah) Oman's in it

Kick Off!: New Begenings

CrazyReD — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 18:04:00 -0400

Finally this blog is back and kicking.

Though one problem still exists which is the blog title's color.

Other then that sit back and enjoy.

Kick Off!: Random thoughts

CrazyReD — Sat, 01 Apr 2006 18:26:00 -0500

~ Oman senior team got knocked out of the tournamnet. Kinda sad was hoping they'd redeem themselves but I really hope they had fun.

~ Barca's game with Real sucked to defensive the biggest highlight i'd say was when the moroccan fan ran into the pitch

~ Iran developed new missiles which is intresting I still don't see Iran as a threat to the gulf no idea why the media hypes it that much maybe to kiss american ass. I wish the arab countries would self produce instead of relying on others. I'd rather drive a car that looks like it came from the 50's but made in oman then the latest thing out there

~ World cup as much as I'd like to see Brazil carry it I keep having the feeling a new team does hope it's Chezch or Holland

~ I guess I'll end up going to oman after all. Can't say i'm not happy

~ weather outside sucks =(

Kick Off!: Guess who's back?

CrazyReD — Tue, 28 Mar 2006 21:58:00 -0500

Kick Off!: Ali Al-Habsi in Bolton

CrazyReD — Tue, 05 Jul 2005 02:30:00 -0400

Well Ali finally signed aa pre contract with Bolton if his club Lyn are clever they'll take whatever Bolton are offering them and let Ali go or they can just lose him on a free transfer.

Now I really don't know why i'm so excited about all this but honestly I can't help feel proud of Ali. Here's a guy who went after his dreams from 3rd divison club Modhabi to Nasser to Lyn and now finally Bolton.

They still don't have his jersey but as soon as it's posted i'm so buying it hehe

best of luck to the Ameen in the EPL and to the 7 Omani players in Qatar

Kick Off!: Tada + Road Trip

CrazyReD — Tue, 05 Jul 2005 01:58:00 -0400

Finally i'm done with summer school.

Feels so good to finnaly finish studying and get to relax focus on gym and work.

hmm thats shorter then i expected

well lets see on Sun went to Rochester Minnosota. Had to drive for 2.5 hours we were delivering cars. It was so boring cruise control is fun but not when the guy infront of u keeps changing his speed everynow and then. Having better music would've been better i kept switching between fm stations. It was fun there got to eat 7allal food in a resturant and then bought more stuff PARATA =D man can't wait to use them andnot to mention lebanese bread and ibn el walad chesse only thing thats missing is chips oman =(.

the return trip was kinda bad 6 guys in a car for 2.5 hours not smthing i'd recomend 3 were in front and 3 in the back.

all in all it wasn't that.

we frist delievered the cars to a fed ex place where they'll be shipped to NY then to KSA. Then went to eat , bought food stuff then we went walking around downtown most thigns were closed but I actually felt I was in a city not like mid of no where cedar falls. Later we went walking around the lake, which wasn't that bad got to digest all the food we ate.

well that sums it i guess

oh well hopefully i'll be updating this place more often and thanks for all who have linked me =)

Kick Off!: Sony Sucks

CrazyReD — Mon, 20 Jun 2005 15:19:00 -0400

Before fan boys jump, they really do suck. WHY?

well look at the RPG they have most are just reserved for Japan I mean how hard is it to have an option to enable English subs?

I've got sony's latest product the PSP and I haven't played it for some time now
Metal Gear AC!D is gr8 although I'm stuck in it but it's really gr8 I liked the concept and all but I CARVE FOR RPG's and there are so many out there in Japan I'd import if I'd understand what they characters were saying =(

Sony plans to release their new PS3 next year and seriously if they will only care about their Japanese consumers then @%@#^ u Sony.

UPDATE: There's a rumor that an XBOX game won't be released in the USA WTF I'll e-mail them both although doubt I'd get a reply but MY VOICE WILL BE HERD

I'll update the situation as it happens =p

Kick Off!: Culture Shock

CrazyReD — Mon, 20 Jun 2005 15:12:00 -0400

Some people experience it when they go abroad.

When I came to the US to study I didn't get shocked by "their culture". I guess that's because of the TV shows and movies. Now I know that the movies and sitcoms aren't necessarily true but it helps.

However the biggest cultural shock I experienced was when I saw and herd that what happens in the west is happening back home in the country I call my own and in countries near by.

WHAT HAPPENED how could morality go so low it's so sad really is =(

Kick Off!: Conspiracy against consumers

CrazyReD — Mon, 06 Jun 2005 13:50:00 -0400

It’s a conspiracy I tell you. Everything I go to Barnes and Nobles to get JUST ONE THING I end up getting more #@$^#$^#$^. ok this is what happened this time I went to reserve the new Harry potter book for my bro (I can't stand Harry potter but oh well) but as I was walking around I saw a cool book cover read the back of it and it got my reading instincts tingly =p so I decided to take it. Then I saw the graphic novel corner and guess what BATMAN =s I ended up buying 3 Batman comics =/. Moreover I bought this nice lil bookmark (my other book mark is in a book that I lost interest in reading (will get back to it soon though inshalla) ok so why conceiver I'll tell you if you eat a lot of food ur addicted to food if you smoke a lot then your addicted to smoking BUT what if u buy to much? your addicted to shopping? so shouldn't there be promotions about STOP DON'T BUY CONTROL YOUR SELF and books about how not to buy stuff but nooooooooo they wouldn't do that actually even if there was a book the author would by hypocrite unless he/she/it distribute it for free wired world GO FIGURE

Oh yeah I managed to reserve the book there’ll be a party I’ll probably go hoping I get some free stuff for my bro =D
