What is this Euro coming to ?!!

Seriously, what is this Euro coming to ? If you want to make a competition of such panache, such fervor, such passion into a hit you have got to play the favourites in the semi-finals. Not so so teams like Russia or Turkey. Mr. Blatter, next time fix the matches so that only the favourites reach the top four !! Oh, o.k. fine. I was hoping Holland would go on to win this edition after seeing the way they thrashed France(my fav, btw) and Italy.

It was like Holland was destined to win. They were crowned winners even before the match started. The players were jumping in joy as they entered the field. You could see it in their eyes, the pride of having reached the semi-finals. Just that they didn't. So, where did they screw up. After topping the group of death so convincingly, where did they go wrong ? The team didn't make any mistakes, just one traitor did. Guus Hiddink. You can't possibly think that it was all Holland's fault. Russia played amazingly well. After having rendered important Oranje players like Sneijder virtually useless from the very beggining, it was quite surprising that they actually scored quite late in the game. Not to forget the beautiful reply by Holland. The game however went into extra time and then two goals in quick succession left Oranje go blue. And what's with the cascade of goals. Every second match seems to have an unwritten rule that goals have to be scored in cascades, one after the other after the other, in quick succession or else they won't be counted. And mind it, only towards the end of the match, so as to build a suspense for the world-wide viewers. Eventually, the 'winners' were weeping on the field like a bunch of school children and the 'losers' were ecstatic !!

After all this, we wonder did Holland play all that well before. They won against two heavy-weights by huge margins of 3 goals. But can the French and Italian team be considered heavy-weights. Both the teams have had their fair share in the spotlight for playing the oldies. On one hand, the French team was filled with romantic fools who just couldn't bring themselves to kick the ball, because they were so in love with it. This I suppose would be reason enough as to why they scored just one goal in the entire tournament. So where do the goals come from?
French arbit player's reply : Oh !! Passing ze ball to ze other team players is zo romantic !!!
French supporter : Kick ze ball. Whaz are you zoin fatso !!
Italian supporter : It is Fattuso !!

And the Italians on the other hand were like a bunch of mafia lords with their grim serious faces.
So much so that this is how I imagine a situation would have been in the last match of Group-C
Gattuso : I don't think I like this man.
Some arbit French player: Oh, you looks zo romantic in zat shorts gattuso !!
Gattuso : I don't like this man.
Pirlo : (with his fingers folded as if it were a gun) BAM BAM BAM !!!
Gattuso : Where is your gun, you moron !! Look what you've done. Now, I've got to make him an offer he can't resist. Hmmm. What shall I offer ??
The arbit French player : How about your shorts. Zey look very beauuutifuuull.
Gattuso : Hey. You keep away from my shorts. I'll keep away from your family !!(suddenly becoming alert)Hey, you bring the ball any closer, I'll blow your head away.
After all, you can't blame the French for being a peace-loving country.

*Sigh*. May the best team win.

Chat over Kaapi

S: Hey K !! How you doin ?
K: Hi da venna (in Eng: Hi butter !!)(in Hindi: oi makhann !!)(for the general Tamil challenged public: just a way of greeting)
S: What ?
K: That's what my girlfriend calls me.
S: Whoa. But why ?

S: What's with the dairy products ?
K: What's with all these questions ? Wanna milk some answers out of me !!!
S: Forget it. So do you watch a lot of cricket.
K: Not much. Why ?
S: I wanted to know what reverse swing was ?
K: But I don't know.
S: Hey, come on. You must be knowing.
K: hmmmm, let's see. Its like, when the bowlers is running real slow.
S: Slow ?!
K: Yeah, mind it. Real slow. That's basically to conserve energy so as to throw the ball real fast.
S: Fast ?!
K: Yeah. And then, the ball gets in a time warp,
S: Time warp ?!
K: And then before you know it, if you get hit in places you consider "too sacred to be hit", your head spins a little. Its like you are on a swing, but gravity seems to be acting from the top. Hence, reverse swing. And when I came to know about this, I was like "No Way. This is a really good way of getting high".
S: Oh! So, what kind of a high do you exactly feel out of weed ?
K: Oh man. You a hippie? Weed doesn't get you high. It makes you feel sleepy.
S: Oh crap !
K: No....... Just sleepy.
S: Forget it.
K: So, did you watch Indiana Jones ?
S: Yeah, unfortunately.
K: Why ?
S: Bollywood produces better movies. The stunt director must have been the one they use for Govinda.
K: Does he even have a stunt director ?
S: Must have one. Was thinking 300 made a better watch. I atleast slept through that !!
K: O.K man. I've got to go. So, ciao.
S: Hey, listen. I had this dream in which I went to class without any clothes on. So...
K: I can tell if your naked.
S: Anyone can. I want you to tell me.
K: That's what I meant.
S: Oh.

Les Internationaux de France de Roland Garros

In case you weren't even wondering what that could mean, you're a rotten, good for nothing, should-have-been-consumed-by-a-hungry-mongrel-long-ago carcass, that has been decaying for a minimum time span of a month now !! cause thats when French Open Fever started and that is the word of the day. No, I didn't choose it. ATP did. The title however, would be The French Open ...... in French. Literally it translates to 'French Internationals of Roland Garros'. (Huh?! Retards!!)


People, I learnt something from the French Open this year. "Barking dogs seldom bite". Of course, we were taught that in elementary school, but who would pay attention when the teacher goes on to scientifically explain the reason. I don't wanna know about dogs and their lack of social networking skills.
So, coming back to the point, what I meant was: Federer barked but didn't bite. :D. Everyone thought tennis is going to be as boring as F1 was, if only these two big guys meet on court. (When I refer to F1, I mean the 2000-2005 seasons where only M.Schumacher would win, and the rest would be racing for time-pass. This can also be attributed to the superior Ferrari technology at that time (thats because they spent a lot more than the other teams (I love using parenthesis' inside parenthesis' :D))). So when it came to a point where only Nadal and Federer were reaching the finals of every other open, you expect it to get boring. But WRONG !! It in fact gets even better with only these two fighting for the Title. (Though, I personally think Djokovic deserves to be there too(cause Serbia does spend a lot, atleast on its tennis players(money does matter people!!(somethings gotten into me (:D))))). I did expect equal chances for both of them, but then loosing by straight sets !! You've got to be kidding me !!...You aren't ?? Darn, that's a ..... Guess what ?! I am out of words. That did make Federer stop barking, anyway. He was out of barks, I guess :D .
The win made Nadal only the third player after Bjorn Borg and Ilie Nastase, to ever win the title without loosing a set(in the entire tournament...(without a set...(can you believe it???(yes, I agree. That was uncalled for.(:D))))). He literally left the Swiss in tears. Its like, when Federer is going around, barking to the media that HE feels its HIS year, that he's gonna win everything in sight, Nadal comes up, whacks him in his baals and tells him ......... "Bad Doggie".
Game Over, Feddie boy. (I like calling him that(do you? (:D)))

P.S: The Opens are called so because they were thrown open for professionals and amateurs to play(before that certain tournaments were meant only for amateurs and certain, only for pros(like Wimbledon was only for amateurs(I am loving it(Hope you are !! (:D)))))
