FIFA World Cup 2018 and 2022: The biggest soccer joke of all times

Yesterday the FIFA announced the two future world cups locations. They will be 2018 in Russia and 2022 in Qatar.  This is a catastrophe for most of the fans and other countries. The press said all over the world that the FIFA doesn’t care about tradition anymore and that simply the money won (Oil and Gas).

Russia is almost too big for a world cup, and the infrastructure and the problems they have there are just terrible.

England lost against Russia of getting the world cup in 2018. The Daily Mail/ English newspaper says: 

"England lost against the Mafia state."

For 2022, the U.S applied, but lost against Qatar.

Everybody besides Qatar is upset with this decision. Because of the culture it is not allowed to drink beer in the stadium for fans. The biggest issue will be the temperature around 120 Fahrenheit. 

Fans are upset with the decision. 

People are already making more suggesting for the World cup in 2030: The Moon and in 2038 the Mars.

Result of El Clasico: Barcelona 5 Madrid 0

I watched the El Clasico on TV and I have to say straight out that Madrid had no chance! I was really surprised because Madrid was so far up to this point the strongest team in the world in my opinion.  I actually thought they would win because they just seemed so strong in the games before. But they got beat up so bad. I think the soccer world really has never seen many games like this before. Barcelona has probably played the best soccer I have ever seen in a soccer match. So dominate and save in their technique and passing skills. Their pressing defense was amazing and the Real players had no space to get one attack started.

This was on of the worst losses ever in the amazing history of Real Madrid.

Besides that the game was very hard and unfair, especially from Madrid’s side. First Ronaldo pushed the Barcelona coach, and then Madrid’s defender Carvalho hit Barcelona’s Messi his elbow in the face.

In the final minute of the game, Messi ran with the ball and Real’s defender Ramos fouled him so bad on purpose that Messi wasn’t able to get up for a minute. Players ran to each other, were fighting and arguing and Ramos freaked out and hit Barcelona’s Puyol in the face so that he fell down to the ground. Ramos got the read card immediately. There will be consequences for Ramos in form of a few game suspensions.

The game was amazing, and bad fouls between these two teams are always happening when they face each other, because of the deep hate of both sides

The next El Classico will be in Madrid April 17th, 2011.

El Clásico

El Clásico is the soccer rival game between Real Madrid and F.C. Barcelona, the two biggest soccer teams in Spain and in the world.

The game is this Monday, November 29, 2010 in Barcelona.

It is one of the biggest rival games in sports. It will be on TV in more than 200 countries and more than 100 million people watch it worldwide.

The last couple years Barcelona always won. But Madrid now has the best coach in the world, and they look very strong this year. They haven’t lost one game yet.

Game Preview: 

Madrid is the leader of the Spanish Primeria Division with 32 points, followed by Barcelona by 31. Both teams have one 10 games out of 12, but Barcelona lost one of them.

The Madrid team bus was attacked earlier today with stones by Barcelona fans.

Who ever will win this game, will take the lead in the league.

Madrid has a new face under Coach Mourinho and looks very strong in ever event (Primeria Division and Champions League)

In my opinion it will be a close game, but Madrid is maybe the strongest team on the planet right now and they will win it.

Also Ronaldo might be the strongest player in the world right now. He is leading the league with 15 goals.

And that is how they are going to play:

Madrid:           

            (Goalkeeper) Casillas

Defense: Ramos,Carvahlo, Pepe, Marcelo,

Midfield: Khedira, Di Maria,Xabi Alonso, Özil,

Striker: Benzema, Ronaldo

Barcelona:

            (Goalkeeper) Valdez

Defense:Puyol, Pique, Abidal, Dani Alves

Midfield: Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta,

Strikers: Messi, Villa, Pedro

UEFA Championsleauge

The Champions league is the strongest and biggest tournament in soccer for club teams. Winning the World cup is the biggest thing a player can achieve in his career. But every great player wants to win the Champions league too, because it is the biggest achievement for a club team.

Real Madrid has won the most titles so far. 

The best three or four teams from a certain leagues qualify for the Champions league. The bigger and stronger a league is in a country, the more teams can qualify for it.

There is a group stage with eight groups and four teams in each group. The two best teams out of every group will make it to the next round.

After the group stages it goes right to a do or die system and the best teams from there make it to the finals. In the do or die system, every team will play a home and an away game.

There are no big surprises this year. All the top teams (Manchester, Bayern, Chelsea, Madrid, Barcelona are leading in there group)

Just Inter Milan, the champions from last year, is second in the group but with the same amount of points like the leader Tottenham. 

Schalke 04, who is struggling big time in the German League, is leading their group in the Champions Legaue.

Arsenal London, another top team is second in their group, but Braga in the third spot have the same amount of points, so it will come down to a show down in the last game next week.

In my opinion is Madrid the in the top spot to win it this year. They just seem so strong and have also the best coach in the world.

Latest Bundesliga Update

At game day 14, with just three games left to the winter break, Borussia Dortmund is the new leader of the Bundesliga with 34 points and have a comfortable lead to the second place team Mainz with 27 points.

Top team Bayern Munich is in the top eight now but they are still struggling and not playing their best soccer or in other words they are not showing their whole potential they are capable of.  Three good Bayern news: Bayern is playing very strong in the Champions League, Superstar Franck Ribery is back from his injury, and star forward Mario Gomez, who had a bad year last season is finally exploding (Bayern paid 30 million Euros to Stuttgart 2 years ago, to acquire him)

Three other top teams, Schalke 04 (15th), Vfb Stuttgart (16th) and Werder Bremen (12th) are still struggling. Only Schalke 04 seems to make improvements. Werder Bremen lost the last few games, and it seems like they can’t handle the loss of Mesut Özil, who went to Real Madrid this summer.

Surprises this year are Freiburg (6th), Hannover (4th), and Mainz(2nd).

Top scorer is Gekas from Frankfurt with 11 goals, followed by Cisse (Freiburg) with ten goals by.

Just four games left until the break. It will be interesting to see how it will turns out and what Bayern Munich can do to catch up. Borussia Dortmund just seems unbeatable right now....

What is going on in the European Top Leagues? (Germany)

The German Bundesliga is crazy this year. Mainz 05, who just came from the 2. Bundesliga, has the best starting record ever! They won all of their first seven games. (In Europe, if you are under the last three teams in the league, you have to go down in the second league, and the three top teams from the second league go to the first league)

They even beat Bayern Munich, the top favorite team to win the league, and one of the best teams in the world.

They lead the league with 21 points. followed by Dortmund with 18 (my team, they are doing amazing right now, it is a pleasure to watch them!!!), Hannover with 13, and Leverkusen with 12.

Top teams like Bayern(worst start in the history of the team, Schalke (who spend so much money then ever before on players) and Bremen and Stuttgart are doing not just bad, they suck!They are not even in the top 10 right now. No one knows why. It is good to see that Schalke sucks, because they are our rival team and I really dislike them! They acquired Christoh Metzelder, who used to play for Dortmund. He was a fan favorite, and a hero for us. Now he is in Schalke, we hate him for that, and we think he is a traitor!!!

I like that the teams who are supposed to be good, have a hard time right. I think this is good, because if you look in the league table and check out the first few times, Dortmund has the strongest team. I think we will be the champions this year...
