Drama in Europe
As the Roy Keane drama is about to end not a day to soon, I am reminded of all the drama that European Soccer will feed us in the months leading up to the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Soccer and Drama are now interwovern, like gagging and watching a Julia Roberts movie, you cannot have one without the other.
Roy Keane not going to Real Madrid as I reported when this whole ordeal started, is no surprise. He is either going to sign in the next 48 hours for Celtic or play for either Bolton or Everton. But I got to thinking, where would I be without this drama? For one, my blog would be any empty assortment of white pages with photo-shopped pictures of Sven-Goran Eriksson wearing lipstick, for how else would I pass the time, seriously? And secondly without the drama, we could not try to really attempt to gauge what is happening in the game, especially in a season where managers and press try to unsettle even the greatest to gain any competitive advantage going into the World Cup.
And the next few months leading up to the World Cup, I believe will give us enough drama to rival that of few summers back when both Beckham and Ronaldinho were being pursued, with almost hourly reports having us blown in different directions like the Real Madrid defense. So what is true and fake, will be very difficult to gauge. But here it goes, as far as I see, this is what we have to look forward to and trust me, going into the new year, these stories will take on a life of their own:
1)Thierry Henry will leave Arsenal, if not my faith in an athlete's choosing loyalty over €(aka as Euros, only Azzurri Dreams has the font) will be re-stored. And with Arsenal struggling to even secure a spot for the UEFA Cup next year, the full press from Catalonia will be hard to escape.
2)Frank Lampard will be linked with Barcelona and if Chelsea wins the Champions League(I shudder at the thought of another English Team winning this) and has a good World Cup, look for him to swoon over Barcelona especially if England makes it far enough to play Brasil(whoops, ok, I am back from laughing).
3)Antonio Cassano will be seen latching unto an elderly women's purse outside the Piazza Navona but still every one will try to buy him especially if he does not renew his contract with Roma. Something has to be done by the end of January or Roma lose him a free-transfer.
4)Michael Ballack will go, he will stay, he will go, he will stay. Seriously, with the problems Germany has in mid-field, I would be concerned with other things right now.
5)Sir Alex Ferguson. This will be a Shakespearian Drama to rival any day-time soap and will get ugly. The media has in it for Sir Alex Ferguson, he is coaching a second-rate team that is going nowwhere and fast. The Glazers will be all to happy to cut him lose considering Manchester United has not won anything since 2003. You will start to see Sven's name surface for the position. Sir Alex will be torn to pieces and will also reach out to the Pope to change the Sir to Saint before before all this is done.
All these fun events will make us feel like we are watching the whole David and Posh text-message sex scandal all over again as we are inadated with too much information, drinking warm beer once again feeding the cycle of drama that I pray never ends!
