Naturalization is the answer for Garuda? The AFF 2010 Journey

Indonesia National Football Team...Usually always being underestimated by people even Indonesians themselves! but yeah this time we prove we can win (and with style of course)!

The AFF Squad this time is different. We have 1 naturalization player, Christian Gonzales and welcome home Irfan Bachdim. Christian was born in paraguay while Irfan have Indonesia blood from his father side.

Well, with Mr.Riedl in control, Christian "el locco" and Irfan, not to mention Oktavianus Maniani "the black pearl" now we headed to the next step. Now the game is more entertaining, more sharp passing and more passionate football shown by the team.

Never in my life i watch Indonesia win the game when i watch at the GBK. But on the 1st of december 2010, i had a fiesta! we won 5-1 against our rival malaysia(gonzales and irfan made their first appearance and a goal each). And today, on the 2nd game of AFF, we crushed Laos 6-0...fantastic score and yes, it was a party to us Indonesian people. Too bad this time i didn't have the chance to watch it in GBK, only from telly. But the National team is back from a long sleep i guess! and am so happy for that.

This time one name got stucked in my heart. I'm melting to see how he played. Yes he is Octavianus Maniani, an Indonesian from papua. 20 years old and shows us spectacular play. His spirit, pace and killer instict are superb! never seen an Indonesian player play on his level. He just kept moving arround and not even lost his breath... a talent that must be well taken care by PSSI. A treasure for Indonesian Football.

I dont know, when everybody is talking about Irfan (yes he is very good), i go with Octo!

I admit that the naturalization bring positivety in the national team. And i have to say, well done!

Well, with winner against Laos, Indonesia secure a semifinal and hopefully we'll the cup for the first time...ameeennn on that! :)

Go Garuda, let's fly and be the champion! :)

A taste of moments and a legend returns...

And there it is...the UEFA Champions League 2nd Leg between ManUnited and Milan. As a ManUnited fans, i have a certain of traumatic feelings when United have to meet Milan (looking back in 2005 and 2007). 3-2 win at the 1st leg does't make me feel comfortable coz Milan surely is a team that can bring you shockment because of their "magic" play. One more time, Rooney shows his class and although his not in his good condition, but his hunger for making goals definietly not. His first goal,(again) with his head shows that he will do anything, any style to make goals for United. 3 header and 1 goal to make him have a 4 goal in the game. What a man! Seems happinness are hugging Old Trafford that night when our Legend David Beckham came out on the field. Although he's in Milan shirt, that doesnt' make the supporters hate him. They gave him warm welcome include "Welcome home Becks" banner. Becks who is always United fans was touched by the fans reaction and you...

Liverpool - "Inikah Saatnya?"

Di bawah tekanan, sanggupkah Liverpool bertahan dalam jalur merebut mahkota premier league yang sudah 19 tahun menjauh darinya? Apakah skuad yang digadang-gadang sebagai amunisi terbaik hanya kembali seperti poolz tahun-tahun sebelumnya yang inkonsisten, kencang di awal tapi kendor di akhir? Kini tantangan berat mereka hadapi. Chelsea yang penampilannya konsisten menunggu untuk membalaskan dendam saat dikalahkan di Stamford Bridge. It's Now or Never! itu yang digaungkan para fansnya. Ini adalah fase krusial di mana game semakin berat dan kelelahan serta cidera mulai melanda pemain. para manager pun diminta berpikir keras memeras otak untuk mengatur strategi dan rotasi. Fase Knock-Out UCL pun sudah di depan mata dan ini sering membuat pools kehilangan banyak poin di kompetisi domestik. Pools dan skuadnya sekarang belum teruji menghadapi tekanan dibandingkan dengan United, Chelsea dan Arsenal. Namun, akhirnya sejak terakhir tahun 2006 lalu akhirnya poolz mampu menduduki puncak klase...

The Fairy tales ended : Eyes on the main prize...not bad, 29 games unbeaten!

Well, we clearly not reach the 30 unbaten games. Wolves succeed to stopped us to pass the 98/99 season with 29 unbeaten games. But our main target is not unbeaten records, our eyes are on the trophy, the 19th title. That's what we fight for. I don't feel sad (well i guess i have to admit i'm a bit dissapointed because we could have done better). Aside from my dissapointment, in a tight competition like this to have a 29 unbeaten games are fantastic in my opinion. It's a class that not every club can achieve. Arsenal maybe have 49 games unbeaten, but today's competition pressure cannot be compare (and let the gooners have their own record). Played for 3 points seems smooth when Nani brought us leading 1-0 in the early 3 minutes of the game, but Elokobi made the score 1-1 and then Milijas provides an excellent freekick and there's a confusion about the second goal whether Elokobi or Doyle has scored but Doyle finally put his name on the score sheet. When the ...
