Today was the final match of the UEFA Champions League between Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. Though I am not a great fan of either clubs, I was rooting for Inter Milan mainly because it took them another 45 years to make the finals, which was quite inspirational.
The match was spectacular, and in the end Inter Milan won 2-0 as Jose Mourinho wrote his name into the history books as Diego Milito inspired Inter Milan to Champions League glory against Bayern Munich at Bernabeu stadium. The MVP of the game is no doubt Diego Milito, whom scored both goals, and with several other assists throughout the game. I believe the main reason why Inter Milan won was of their great defense system, rivaling that of Bayern Munich's strong offensive - the secret weapon being Arjen Robben.

World Cup 2010
If you are a fan of football, you would know by now that a number of great players will not be attending the 2010 games. Some of them being:
- Ronaldinho Gaúcho (Brazil)
- David Beckham (England)
- Michael Ballack (Germany)
- Adriano Ribeiro (Brazil)
This is very disappointing, as my favourite player (Ronaldinho) will not be able to go even though he is at his prime.
I'm not sure how great this years world cup will be, but i'll remain optimistic nonetheless.
Therefore, I am now certain Argentina will be a top contender to win this years world cup. Why? Lionel Messi of course! I could be wrong though.
On an unrelated note, Nike has made yet another spectacular commercial for this special occasion. Enjoy:

I hope to post regular thoughts & opinions on the World Cup 2010 matches when it begins on June 11th. Stay tuned!
Ronaldinho is certainly not at his prime right now.
ReplyDeleteArgentina a top contender because of Messi? Messi doesn't play as well for Argentina as he does for Barcelona. They really had a hard time in the qualifiers.. I blame Maradona though. He left out a lot of good players out such as Zanetti and Cambiasso (regular starters for Inter!!)
Well, it's all hype anyways.
ReplyDeleteRegarding Ronaldinho, his 30 now. If he doesn't attend this world cup, he probably won't attend the next one - his last chance. It's a waste not to show his talent on the world stage.
Spain is probably going to win. But this post wouldn't have been as exciting if I had just said the obvious ...
