Never fails after the game it's over, always think. I'll never see other game so bad!!, Then come the next game, WORSE, Believe or not!!
If this WORLD CUP, it's not the worse ever!!, may be the next one!!
I wait several days to write something, after that disastrous tournament, I was so disappointed that I can't explain with words, -and I had an idea!!-, the way it would be played the game!! I wrote before the tournament started (see OTRO MUNDIAL) last post.
I did some comments in a post in Facebook, -too quick after the final game-,but I was getting sick of my stomach, reading the posted for some of my friends, they were so happy and content, the way Uruguay played the tournament, that I could not tolerated no more, and write something like Shut up!! Just PURE LUCK!! No because we played fantastic, or have a game plan other the defend and toss the ball the higher you CAN!!
One "friend" said something like I'm a perfectionist, NO!! It's that I still remembering from one game to the other, and my memories of the games was sadly, been with our backs on our own goal, and if the ball did not goes in, it was JUST PURE LUCK, plus the other were very lousiest too, that helped in the result
I do not comment game by game,I'm not a commentaries professional, just trying to help the beautiful game to came back to what is suppose to be!! (see post LAST WARRIOR)and if we win, but, played terrible, I'm not CONTENT!
But, what I'm saying for long time, IF one Country try to play good ball movements, and not going try to confuse the referees with that acts of been victimized, or, abusing the faults, IF JUST PLAY BALL would WIN!!
Again to my "friend" that is why I was so disappointed, even getting a fourth position in a WORLD CUP should be enough to be happy, but not, we have players that could be playing a lot better, HOW ONE FORWARD, CAN BE UNDER HIS OWN POST defending, -and avoiding a goal- and run to the other side of the field TO TRY TO MAKE A GOAL. Anybody that played the game knows, that is impossible to perform correctly, yours brains and legs quit on you!! That is the reason I bitchy at the COACH!! PLAYERS WE HAVE!!
Talking about luck, The coach is being confirmed, also with the minors players!! UNBELIEVABLE!!

The last warrior, seeking to better the game!!
Getting tired of trying to reach a club or person that agreed to better the game, and, just coming back from South America where was not a bad experience, but not great either. At least I brought good luck to the club, got a new sponsor for the next and final round (Clausura) where we are just 90 minutes away to ascend to the next level, even losing all the games, for being the Champions of the first round (Apertura), have to play one more game, a final between the Apertura Champion and the Clausura Champion, the winner will ascend to Second Division B, just 2 years away to play the Liberators Cup, the South American main event!! and the winner, go to play the real World Cup, against the European Champion! Plus the South American Inter Clubs Championship, and WORLD INTER CLUBS CHAMPIONSHIP!
The positive side of all of this, is what some of the players told me "At least, we do not ABUSE the long balls", because if you fallow my posts, you'll know that is not what I preach, and the coaches forget as soon as I'm leaving the field, and that fear to do not lose, (erroneous), back to DEFEND, and forget how to attack!!. They say YES, YES! two minutes later,forgotten! (FEAR!!)
And yes, I'll be busy again, because this is a league, and a territory with many good players easy to be in the main tournaments, many investors are joining clubs, hoping to be in the winning side, and show its own players in a strong league with a good market to get them to Europe and all the strong countries that are looking for good players, this is a league, that has more professionals players playing around the globe, than any other league, -talking in average for the inhabitants in the country-, I was asked to join the I. A. Potencia, ( http://www.iapotencia.com/ ) a club of only 9 years of life, but with a group of young people willing to give all the effort possible for the good of the club and the community and the young talents that the only future may be to play the game!!....They are too, -crossing their fingers-, see if I'll bring luck (knowledge), and find the right person and/or club with better resources and a will, better then mine!
I can't say what accomplish, if was any, I'm not one to toot my own horn, just wait to see if somebody says anything, knowing that my players and directors of the club, speak another language, but today with the "Google translate" could say something, still hoping to generate some comments in this blog.

CREATIVITY and/or ORIGINALITY
Thanks to Anonymous, that left his/her comments, inspired me, THANKS AGAIN!!. Because, like I said, if I do not generated comments, WHY keep the hopes of some day, somebody, would listen to my cries, and try to do the something for the BEAUTIFUL GAME!! As a lone warrior, in a war to beatify the game, sometimes I feel like I losing the battle.
Also, with my broken English, hope do not offend nobody, I think that I should write in the language of the country I'm living, my conscience and streetwise tells me, to respect!!
Coming back to the title, CREATIVITY and/or ORIGINALITY;
it tells all!!, the majority of the players, today, appears to left the coach command (kick, kick away, don't look where!! just kick it!-defend,DEFEEEEND)
It's Clear (for me), that the player has to CREATE, if you are outside the 18 yards box, YOU have to create, face the defender, try your best footwork, pass him/her, and, you'll find out, that the goalie did his/her job, and close your shooting angle, -again- use YOUR BRAINS, fake, footwork AGAIN!! and put the ball nice and smooth, into the goal!! Easy?? It sounds, easy, that is the way is suppose to be!
But not, next game you'll be out of the team, (if you think) or, maybe! the fans would love it, and no coach will go against the fans!! (?)
According to the coach, you should kick it, where you got the ball, 35, 40 yards out of the goal, not thinking, that, from that distance, you'll convert ONLY IF THE GOALIE GET A HEART ATTACK, or SOMETHING!! Most of the times, the ball goes so far out of target, that the other team get a throwing!! instead then a goal sidekick!!
That is ORIGINALITY too, IT'S THE PLAYERS who win or lose GAMES!!!. Let them PLAY, a good coach, has to know where the person's position inside the field is best, and put the parts together, another reason for the numbers on the jersey, the numbers indicate the position the player have to stand on the field.
CREATIVITY and/or ORIGINALITY on DEFEND!!
If I'm watching a game, and ONE attacker against 4 (FOUR) defenders lose the ball, the defender (ONE!!!) close his/her eyes, and kick it the higher that can be done! Not even THINKING they are 3 (THREE) more players (defenders) watching the play! and wisely could be given to one of the three players sitting (birdwatching) doing nothing, without thinking,
that (JUST I GIVE THE BALL AWAY!!) C'mon let they THINK!! let they use the brains!!!- (not the rear end!)- Like a good friend of mine usually said!-
The funny thing out of all of this, is, when a coach choice/pick a player, it's according with his/her skills, if the player has a good domination of the ball, can pass it, in one word is GOOD!! You are in the TEAM!! WHY, I keep asking myself, WHY it's, in the game is COMPLETE DIFFERENT!!
Back to the title, on the long way, it would help the person to live a better life, because so many times in life, we have to CREATE or be ORIGINAL, to pass hard situations, that we'll not have anybody to tell as, what to do!
Some players misinterpret the CREATIVITY, ORIGINALITY, and get out of hand, when they scored a goal, being not very used to scored, when they luckily, convert, they think (I believe) that they are something like GOD!! run all over the field, celebrating, taking the jersey off (getting yellow card) others jumping on top, holding for behind like dogs, dancing. No, that is not respect for others, and the worse thing is, sometimes the other team get insulted, and they respond with several goals more!! The reality is that is ABSURD and FIFA soon or later will do something!! PLEASE SOON!!!

The beautiful game
I'm getting sic talking about the way are playing the game, an probability you too, believe me it's not BEAUTIFUL.
Lets concentrate in doing it, the right way... But I already said IT!!
Who am I, to tell HOW the game have to be played?....If I tell you, that I was nobody, that was the worse player in my neighborhood, but, I had GUTS!, never back up for nobody, or anything, That help me in life tremendously. Today, everything I own, is thank to my integrity, courage, honesty, or, whatever you want to call it. But no FEAR, or if onetime I felt the FEAR, I kick it to the side, and, KEEP GOING straight up!, Can be one of the reasons I do not hold any licenses (driver, YES!), I always said, WHO will teach me how to play the game?
If I learned it, with the best ones that played the BEAUTIFUL game!! I'll tell you just one (for now), My good friend Hector (Sapito--Little toad) Martinez, we played a few times together,but, when he was playing for Penarol on the Liberator's Cup, has to play against Brazil,- Santos' PELE, before the game began, "Sapito" told PELE, "Hey Pele, I'll pass the ball in between yours legs" Pele smiled, for the positions they played, just meet once in the whole game, in that particular play, Sapito got the ball, faced Pele, and with a fancy feet move, tried to pass the ball in between Pele's legs, instinctively Pele closed his feet, and the ball did not go through. I imagine Pele smiling, I never could confirm this history, never have the chance to ask Pele. But knowing Sapito, it cold happen!! he was FANTASTIC!! Players like him were all over, he played with a Pele's team mate MOASIR, they usually, in the practices, kicking the ball, will bet, where the ball hit! (for a glass of wine!), I would like, that somebody check in his records and fine out how many goals he MADE from corners kicks!!!, free kicks! you named!!, but IN THAT YEARS, they were so many good players, and, not transfers to other countries, like today!! I don't want to say they were better than today's players, not, was not chances to play, not openings. Look at Pele's record, he just played for Santos, -yes, I know the NY Cosmos, but, that is another history!!-
Like I said, FEAR, it was not in our dictionary, I don't want to say, today's it!, but, just look a couple examples. No, better I shut my mouth!!, but in the game, that line of four (4) THAT IS FEAR!!. Only two (2) attackers, THAT'S FEAR!!!. The team is defending a corner kick, get 8 players inside the box, and the start to hold by the jerseys, the arms, even they get in touch with body parts!!! THIS IS FEAR!! Plus is RIDICULOUS!!! Is ONLY ONE (1) BALL!!! And sometimes it goes out of bound!!!
I can go no and on, for days, but, nobody listen, again FEAR of change something, that is not working, BUT, what if?, better give the ball back to the goalie!,

Welcome _Again!
First I have to THANK my buddy ACE!! Again and again, because without his knowledge and patience I could not do this!
Because I didn't have many responses on the couple years this blog is running, I thought people didn't care, and the truth is I lose my enthusiasm. And now by POPULAR DEMAND (ACE) I'll start to write in my broken English, and in my natural language Spanish see if I can touch base! before I hung up my cleats!!!
According with the request and/or questions, would be the life of this blog!
I don't want to look critical, but, lets check the last MLS Final game.
What I was talking about it, in past posts, came to be the real truth!!
The "Revolving Door" Yes, coaches are fire for inept from one Club, and, another Club HIRE them!!!" Old Players" turned coaches- do not know better that toss the ball in the air (High as they can) and RUN for it!! "Players may get hurt" In this particular game also happen it! Two players got hurt! running for that loose ball! "The luckiest one will WIN" exactly, is what happen, both teams, during the season, were lousiest, do not tell me the best team won! No Sir, the LUCKIEST WON! The funniest thing is, the winning coach told me couple years ago, (by emails) the "I was insulting him, WHY, he would take my advise", I tried to explain him, then that is one of the beauty of this game, that you can criticise constructively, and believe or not he won the 2009 Cup! "Too many people in the box, and blind the goalie" Exactly what happens in one of the goals, guys running "in line" watching ONE attacker with the ball. That defenders should pay entrance , because they got the best seat in the Stadium!! The other goal, almost the same scene, but this time the "STAR ( I said "FIASCO") in front of the attacker, but, turned his body and jump like a butterfly, again, the goalie would not expected that move and did not see the ball!
Next Post I would like to say something about the slogan some WEB PAGES ARE RUNNING, they write the "BEAUTIFUL GAME" (They don't have idea what it means)
