Okay, its been awhile since I wrote. But now it is summer and you know what that means, or what it should mean. More time to post. The last time I wrote was May 4th and since then many things have happened. Trophies have been distributed, injuries have happened, and a witch doctor from Ghana has affected the world cup.
WOO! That is right people... SUMMER! First off, lets get out of the way what happened last month. Although Arsenal did win another fourth place trophy, we actually won a real trophy too, the FA Cup. After we got down 2 nil in the first 9 minutes I thought we had blew another chance to lift the silverware, but with an excellent free kick from Santi Cazorla the rally started. Koscielny, who doesn't score a lot of goals but when he does they're big, scored another goal late on to send it into extra time. "HE'S BETTER THAN BALE, HE'S BETTER THAN BALEEE, AARON RAMSEY, HE'S BETTER THAN BALE". Ramsey scored off a fantastic strike off an even better pass from Giroud to let Vermaelen undeservingly lift the cup at Wembley. Vermaelen played like 3 minutes the whole season but since he's the "captain" I guess he has the right to lift the trophy.
On a much sadder note Atletico did blow their chance at trophy, the champions league trophy. After getting ahead 1-0 over their cross town rivals they just could not hold on in stoppage time. They ended up losing 4-1. But Atletico fans should not be disappointed with their season, or really the past few seasons at all. Winning the Copa Del Rey last year and the WHOLE LEAGUE this year, I would be very proud of a team that used to live in the shadows behind Barca and Real. By the way, those horrible guys on ESPN FC (not all of them are horrible, just most) said that the way Simeone ran on the field twice just ruined everything he had achieved the past few years. That might be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I'm sure people will always remember him as a great coach and still love him.
Now that the most important stuff from the club season has been covered, it is time to switch our focus to Brazil. The World Cup that is. The most popular sporting event in the world. There has already been plenty of drama leading up to the world cup, which unfortunately I haven't written about at all. From Donovan getting left behind, Marco Reus getting injured, to Ronaldo getting injured due to some crazy magic, the build up to the world cup has been very exciting. Come back and read over the next few weeks... it is going to be fun.
