Still Football

It's weekdays but still there are football everywhere. Locally, in conjunction of our 49th Merdeka Day, Pestabola Merdeka diperkenalkan semula. It will start on Wednesday, August 23 and the final will be held on next Tuesday, August 29. 4 teams participate - Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand & Myanmar. It's time for our national squad to show their true potential whether they deserve their 148th spot in the FIFA World Ranking or they are much better than that.

In Europe, all eyes will focus on UEFA Champions League 3rd qualifying round 2nd leg. Based on the 1st leg results, surely Arsenal, Lille, Galatasaray & CSKA Moskow will go through to the group stage. But how about AC Milan, Liverpool, Valencia & Ajax? They will have a tougher time..

EPL also will be continued with its 2nd matches. Be ready for more unexpected results. In the opening matches, we already saw Portsmouth 'trashed' Blackburn 3-0, Reading came from behind to win 3-2 against Boro & Sheffield held Liverpool to a 1-1 draw. Can Reading & Sheffield do what Wigan & West Ham did last season? Can Chelsea & MU go on the rampage again?
