Fifa Soccer 2009

A Return to the Past: Chris vs. Faabs

France vs. Brazil has always been a classic battle. Ronaldinho and Henry trading goals from game to game, and at one point, Henry got the best of Ronaldinho and company nearly every match. But that was then, and now I went at it again about 4 years later, and against the owner of the game.

Yes my friends, Fabiano and I rekindled the flame of competitive PlayStation futbol over last weekend, and even though I suffered some devastating losses, I was able to come across with 2 victories.

Victory #1: England over Uruguay in penalty kicks

Victory #2: France over Uruguay 3 X 2 in overtime period #2
Fabiano is a great player, and did hand me my worst loss ever, 9-0 in my first game on his home turf, but remember two things: I don't own the game, and I don't practice...ever. 4 years have passed since I played more than one or two games every 6 months. And while I don't normally go out of my way to point the way to my success, those who know Fabiano know that this is not only deserved, but requested as proof of his ability to talk a big talk, and make excuses for losses. Yes, I believe that there are certain times where people can perform better than others, but to consider every win
"Joga Bonita" and every loss "a lucky win" for the opposition seems a little bit over-the-top, don't you think?

The Thing I Like the Most about

I love The Daily Show with John Stewart and The Colbert Report because they are sarcastic humor that make news funny. The best part is that they seem to show equal scorn for all sides of politics, as well as religion, so I don't take it personally. There have been many shows, not just these two, dedicated to making fun of Bush, showing how poorly he articulates himself during major speeches, and I'm happy to say that they are now pointing out funny things about Obama also.

I thought it would be hard, in fact I was sure that there was no chance for Obama's speeches to be made fun of, but more praised because he's so much 'different' than Bush, you know, it's all about "Change" and stuff. Well, he didn't sound too different in his Inaugural Address:

So let's all have a toast to change and just relax a little, because I didn't really love Bush either, but I don't see much "Change" yet...
