Spain are the best team in the world

Posted by Michael on Wednesday 14th July, 2010

According to the new FIFA rankings…They dont really mean anything, well unless you are number 1, then you can go around saying it! :mrgreen:

France drop all the way to 21st, behind Egypt (9th), Greece (12th) and even Australia (20th). Italy also drop to 11th, thats the 2 finalists from only 4 years ago out of the top 10.

England are 7th, with Netherlands and Brazil 2nd and 3rd.

Its the most odd looking Rankings list i have seen, which is probably why nobody takes any notice of it. Gabon ahead of teams like Sweden, Ireland and even teams which qualified for the world cup like Cameroon and Korea!?!? WTF?!?!?

What do you think of the FIFA world rankings?

David Villa Signed Painting from Adidas

Posted by Michael on Wednesday 14th July, 2010

I have saw that Adidas have had some paintings done while in South Africa. They are auctioning off various football memorabilia, which includes lots of paintings. Its a charity auction for Nelson Mandela.

They have a Spain one, which is signed by David Villa, and it looks so good! The biggest problem is the world big…Its 290 cms x 220cms, which is more or less bigger than any ‘open’ wall i have (i.e. i have a door on one obviously and other furniture).

I placed a bid of £252 yesterday and i was highest bidder!! :mrgreen: Now i am not the highest bidder, there are some other bids which have been placed.

There is also the Official match ball used, or one of them. The cost? Well last time i looked the auction was over £30,000!

Do you think i should get it? It is history and art, and is just an amazing one-off piece.

The flags come down…Depression

Posted by Michael on Wednesday 14th July, 2010

Hello lovely blog readers! :)

Today i took down my Spain flags from my window, its a sad, sad day :( The world cup is now officially over, and it will not come around again for another 4 years. My window now looks weird with nothing up, its like at Christmas when you take the decorations down :P

Such a sad day :(

Spain World Cup T Shirt: Campeones!

Posted by Michael on Tuesday 13th July, 2010

Hey blog!

Well i made this t-shirt yesterday, its not much of an original design, i saw a similar one and had to make one! :D I wanted a tee quickly, maybe i will design another.

I love this! :)

España = CAMPEONES!!!!!!

Posted by Michael on Tuesday 13th July, 2010

CAMPEONES, CAMPEONES, olé olé olé!

Yes!! Spain did it and won the World Cup for the very first time on Sunday night!! I am sure you are aware, of all of this now, it is Tuesday, so it was a few days ago. They beat Netherlands 1-0 after extra time, with a Andrés Iniesta goal :)

What a great night it was on Sunday, it was such a good party night, i had my drinks, champagne, vodka, redbull, food, air horns, flags, shirt, and blasting music after the final :mrgreen:

I did not really go to bed, i watched Madrid TV and fell asleep for a few hours, and then it was morning already! My mouth tasted of champagne until Monday night!

I was so tired on Monday! But it didnt matter, I watched Madrid TV again and saw the parties and everything all over again, i wish i was in Madrid, but watching it on TV was 2nd best, it made me feel like i was there :)

Monday night it was another night of celebration, watching Madrid TV, seeing the players meet the royal family of Spain, the king and queen, prince and princesses, it was really good. The king also made a speach, which was so cool!! Then the team went to meet the prime minister of Spain, which was also cool, and funny, they started jumping up and down and he joined in!! :mrgreen: All the crowd were amazing, chanting INIESTA, INIESTA!! and IKER, IKER!! :mrgreen:

Then the players had a bus tour all over the city, it was crazy! :D Pepe Reina was going mental, and so was Piqué, it was so good, i do wish i was there! There were so many people, estimated to be 1 million people come out to support La Roja yesterday! It ended at puente del rey, where they took the stage. Fans had already been there for hours, and there was entertainment on, but the real reason people came was to see the players, and they werent disapointed :)

They took the stage, and it was great! Just like in 2008 Pepe Reina was the legendary MC, calling each player, and it was so good! He got to number 10, Fabregas, got him to the front of the stage, where he held him with Piqué and Puyol and they put a Barca shirt over him, he didnt know about that, haha!! :mrgreen: He looked good in a Barca shirt ;) I bet the Arsenal fans didnt like that :P

It was such a great night, i still have a bad head, oh well, its all good :)

It was such an emotional few days, you have probably seen clips on YouTube of Iker Casillas kissing his girlfriend who works for TV channel TeleCinco Sara Carbonero. Also Pepe Reina singing and dancing to them on the plane home!!

I LOVE SPAIN, VIVA ESPAÑA!!!!!

Flu causes no updates! boooo

Posted by Michael on Friday 9th July, 2010

Hello lovely blog readers!

Yeah, i am still here! :P

I have had flu most of this week, still not completly recovered yet either…This week, of all weeks!! Spain in a semi-final, and now final, not to mention its summer! How can i get flu now?!!?

As i am sure you are aware, Spain played a semi final against Germany…And won!!! 1-0 woohoo! :mrgreen: Puyol scored, and Spain played well which is a good thing. They will play against Netherlands on Sunday night, i hope i am feeling better by then, i think i will :)

I cant wait for Sunday, i can only wish i made that trip to Madrid now…I saw some images on TV and it looked great! I wish i was there :( Maybe i should of looked properly for hotels and how i was getting there, and then would of been able to go. I can get a train to Edinburgh, and a plane to Madrid airport, and the same back…But booking late is risky not to mention expensive. Oh well, i will just have a party here :D

Weekend is now here!! :P Biggest weekend of my life, if i ever get married i am sorry, but it will always come 2nd to this! Espeically if Spain wins :mrgreen: The last time Spain played a final 2 years ago i was so nervous, and i am now, i really hope they do win :)

Jedward falling on T4 on the beach

Have you seen this yet? I have, and i find it funny :mrgreen:

The “band” everyone hates (no really they do, they flopped) Jedward aka John and Edward Grimes were on T4: On The Beach on Sunday, where Edward fell. HAHAHAHA!! How funny!!

I watched a bit of T4 On the Beach, but it was shit so i turned it off. Jason Derulo couldnt sing, his performance was shit and the sound was terrible.

Just ordered this Evisu Jacket

Posted by Michael on Tuesday 6th July, 2010

Hey!

I just ordered this Evisu Jacket. I think it looks really cool, i love white jackets. I used to have a cream Rockport jacket, in fact i still have it :P I loved that, but its too big for me now, and really old anyway.

My Varsity Jacket has arrived!

Posted by Michael on Tuesday 6th July, 2010

Hello blog readers :)

I got my varsity jacket yesterday delivered from Germany. Its really cool, looks good and the quality is amazing! Its really thick and heavy, which i love. I went for the royal blue and white sleeve option, i think it looks really good, and it will go with more things than other colour jackets. The jacket itself is imported from the USA and made in the USA so its good quality, they know a thing or 2 about these types of jackets if nothing else ;)

Baseball jackets and varsity jackets are all the rage this summer. I already got a baseball jacket which i customised myself, i wrote about that a while ago, see my custom baseball jacket post.

This one comes from US-Sports24 which are based in Germany. They do Letterman Jackets, Baseball Jackets and Varsity Jackets. People were asking me “how do i customise a baseball jacket like yours” well if you buy your jacket from them they also do personalisation’s such as letters and numbers, so you can make your jacket unique.

I may add some custom detailing to this one, or leave it plain, i havent decided yet ;)

Here is a shot of the lining. Its really thick and good quality.
