Football!

         well, this is my first ever blog & i dont really know how to start off. just giving it a try. let me start off with my latest addiciton FIFA, its not the organisation i am talking about, it's the EA sports pc game. i just went into the topper's room once & saw a few guys playin the game. so i just thought why dont i give it a try. copied it onto harddisk and started playin n guess what, i even bunked classes so that i could play.

         Then started watching football on TV, started liking it and had to ditch cricket (my first love). But then T20 has given cricket a new dimension and i am happy about that.

            It was on may 13th 2006 that i saw a football game with thorough interest. it was the FA cup final Liverpool vs Westham. At that point of time i was not really a fan or supporting any club. Liverpool had the most miserable of starts with an own goal from Mr. Carra & went further down with miserable goal keeping. But then it had to be Gerrard who had to inspire the team. A pin point cross found Cisse and he converted it with a nice volley. Gerrard then capitalised on some confusion in the box and slammed one into the left top corner.

              But then i thought may be both the sides would just sit tight and defend. Some Mr. Konchesky scored a freak goal, it was supposed to be a cross actually. 90 minutes were over. 3 minutes of injury time was added on. Then it was Mr. Liverpool who had to come up with the goods. That poor fellow had cramps, struggling to run, forget taking a shot. and beleive it or not, out of nowhere Gerrard belted one from 30+ yards out & it went in like a rocket. Liverpool went on to win the game on penalties and i knew which team i was gonna support for the rest of ma life.

LIVERPOOL!!

YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE!!
