Highlight

Instead of going diary style, like i always do with my holidays trips,i thought i would just talk about the highlight of the trip. When i feel like it, i'll start talking about all the sightseeing stuff in Berlin and Dresden (which was pretty awesome, but it's not gonna top this)

No.7 sending the keeper to the wrong direction

Was there any doubt what else it could be? Being inside the Theatre of Dreams when the stadium erupted when no.7 Christiano Ronaldo scored the most undeserved goal in the world. It didn't matter, the crowd and atmosphere was worth every penny (70 pounds actually) and a cool goal by Wayne Rooney was icing on the cake. From waiting anxiously on the cheap plastic seats for a goal to happen, to attempting to follow the chants of the supported, to jumping and screaming at every near miss or referee whistle....is truly an experience that money can't buy. (70 pounds actually)

I was never a true MU supporter till few years ago, which led to claims by my bro that i only supported the best teams. I don't agree. Sure MU is probably the most supported team in Malaysia, but i truly support them because of their offensive style and individual brilliance. I believe its influenced by my infatuation with NBA basketball, where attacking individual talents are appreciated more. (with exception of Nick who has a good eye for defensive plays)

To prove my point, long time ago, i used to support Liverpool because i thought they were a good offensive team. Looking back at it now, i'm not really sure if i understood football as much as i do now, but as far as i recall it was the Beckham era where MU and Arsenal reign the EPL. In the NBA it was more apparent. I supported the Trailblazers when they had Mighty Mouse and the Sheed even though they never won a championship. I was a die hard fan of Chris Webber's Sacramento Kings when they weren't even championship contenders yet. But they played exciting ball in my opinion, and that's why i watch them.

On a side note, WHY OH WHY DID JASON WILLIAMS RETIRE?????
