For the sake of this article, real football that has more fans than the population of the united states, I will be using Football as it is not Soccer.

Being the 2nd sport in history of this nation, soccer remains like a joke for this nation. Why didn’t this 2nd sport become number 1 or why is the international team  doing so poorly inspite of so many years have gone by ?

You can argue but many teams win just by the grace of god and for sure, U.S. team is no exception. This year FIFA 2010, they did better than last year. But, you had 4 years and this is what you gave to the world ? USA 1 GHANA 2

While the game is called Football else where, here it’s called soccer – duh me! Well, they can’t call it football because there is already a sport here called Football which has to do more with hands than foot.

But the country goes crazy over it, for many, it’s not just the game, it’s the TV commercials that they can’t wait to watch. So what kind of fans are these ?

* Love a lot of scores. But their another popular game Hockey counter attacks that fact so does baseball which is fun to watch even though every throw is nothing more than a goal kick of soccer in terms of timing the throw and hitting it, running is also similar to soccer expect here you know where you have to land.
* They love funny Ads. Ads can be done all the  time. Why do they have to wait for a game like super-bowl for such ads to come up ? (the final match of the football of American i.e.)  You already know the answer, Superbowl is about funny ads for the fans.
* Young players during their high school lover soccer. Girlfriend starts dating another one who plays Football. He gives up soccer. OR the interest of Young players are diminished by the Football gamers who think toughness is a game. If you quit soccer because of this, tell those folks to keep on ruining on the ground for 90 minutes, they will quit. They are stronger because there are tons pauses; ads; challenge by coach, fauls, bla, bla, bla. It’s the time to regain the stamina only to move a few yards and no more. For soccer, make one mistakes, your team could go down hill. Not EXACTLY the same for football.
* These are the fans who are in the circle of the Economy cycle rather than game. Here is the loop : Rent a TV – watch football – return that fancy TV along with a big sofa only to show your friends how rich you were – laugh at TV ads and le  them make money while you laugh. Simply foot, these are the ans who love ECONOMY.
* I didn’t know about football, but after watching it, I have also gone crazy about the game. It’s so fun, It’s amazing. What’s even more fun is having someone sing the national song horribly. After watching several games, my desire stops to watch 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters.  4th is simply enough. So, these are the fans that love a game that moves and stops, moves and stops, they don’t love game that is none stop action.

To finish this topic, I see a horizon where U.S. Soccer is the #1 sport.

First as you know, when compared to other sports that this nation plays at International level,  their Soccer performance is poor. Is it because they haven’t had more of the international friendly matches. No way! Is it because they haven’t been qualified for FIFA world cup. No way. So what the heck is worng then.

This is what you need to do USA Soccer TEAM!

* Average Soccer Player gets less salary than similar player in Football in America. I goggled it for a research for hours, and I found this to be true, now if my claim is false, slap me.
* Have more tournaments apart from just a few like Major League Soccer. Look at other countries and see how many local tournaments they have. It provides them with skills, knowledge and it also creates fan base.
* For one year, simply cancel your football and run soccer. Oh well, I know. I know. You TV folks are worried about losing some money. Give those ad money to soccer players.
* Go back and watch every International soccer matches the country team has played. You and I know the answer. Country simply does not have good striker when it comes to taking chances in set pieces like a free kick.
* Start the line-up the scratch.
* Along side some great shows like American Idol, bring a Soccer Idol or something.
* Bring a few international friendly matches over here in U.S. so your players will know how to play in International Level. Just having one or two good players won’t make a U.S. Team.
* Since it’s fare. Get 1 or 2 striker from another country. What  the heck if you can’t find 2 or even 5 from your 307,006,550 people ?

anything else missing ?

U.S. is a great team in name but it doesn’t have enough POWER like other International teams such as Argentina, Brazil and even Mexico. Things have to change and it’s not hard to change. Otherwise soccer will remains as it is; it ain’t a game for u.s.!

The Alarm Clock That Wakes The Dead – Final Part

He recovered after a week in Hospital, must have been a great blow!

A lady visited him and told him all about it. She said, don’t ever insult people!

He went home still not sure if had done anything wrong. All he remembers is that he told her: Lemon is good for you, so use it as a salad dressing, it’s better than fatty Ranch or Thousand Island Dressing and Lemon can help burn some fat. Instead of sweet sugary drinks drink water.

He had gone further lecturing this and that some of them he now starts to remember as he heals:

• Park really at a distance from supermarkets not near their front doors.
• Avoid drinking diet sodas and such foods. There is no such thing as real sugar with zero carbs without harming your body.
• Eat vegetables, fruits. Substitute beans for meat.
• Yogurt or whole fruit is better than icecream for desserts.
• Eat sandwich rather than fatty burgers.

Drink Green Tea

Get a alarm clock that wakes you early for fresh air in the morning and a few steps for outside walk!

He says, “I will never ever tell anyone what to do, that was my mistake.”

Alarm Clock That Wakes The Dead – Fiction – Part 1

She is munching on the salad with two five ounces of ranch dressing still on top. Her tongue keeps tasting dressing more than the salad. As she finishes her final bite, she mumbles to her husband, you know they were thinking about buying alarm clock that wakes the dead.

He shaw and heard of everything. Went home and those entire scenes played right before closing his eyes after long hours of a hectic day.

His eyes are shut and now he is snoring. He asks her, what the hell did you mean by that alarm clock which wakes the dead. Did you mean to say alarm is so loud it wakes even a dead person or were you just joking? There is no reply. Doors are locked. Windows are locked. Strong wind slowly enters through the air vents on the floor. Wind gets stronger. He is lifted up in the air, one inch below the ceiling fan that is now moving beyong its limit. Slowly door opens itself. He screams, help! But the sound remains suspended in the air. It’s dark. The fan falls down and crashes on the floor as he is sweeped out of the door into the dark sky. He says, this can not be happening to me. This has to be a dream; he pinches himself but he can not feel. This time he pinches real hard by the other hand. A huge chunk of his meat is on his hand, for sharp pieces of the broken fans had become nails. Bloods flow like a rushing river.

He is dropped down on the ground. He opens his eyes as one of his hands feel stones.

Sun is rising as usual. The alarm clock goes buzz.. Buzz. He wakes up and shooks his head and gaps, what a hell of a dream. He feels safe and secure and laughs as he flaps his arms like a bird, I am a live, I am a live.

Nurse : Are we done operating with this man?
Doctor : Everything looks good, the nose is in place and mouth looks good, it has stopped bleeding. Lets wake him up.

His lips start making sounds… Where am I? What happen? Nurse upon padding him softly says, you fell down when a big fat lady punched you on the face.

To Be continued to part two….

a Fiction – What is work?

If we were to count people on the planet who never had to work even for single a day, how many would there be? Not too many might be a correct answer…

It is possible to live on the wealth of your heritage. Your grand grand father worked and left you with his lands as far as your eyes can see, left you with many bungalows in the cities, left you with his lavish cars and a thick bank balance. Now, you call yourself a party guy and a millionair class. You see jobs as jobs only for those who need money. So the idea of getting a job makes you vomit because you are not going to work for someone since you are already so rich.
As time passes by, you see everything shrinking; your land, bungalows, and bank balance. Sometime you ask yourself will it end before my time?

Every year adds more fun to your life; you drink alot, do more parties, fly to places, ride on cabs, for your car was pawned a long time ago. You never let your feet touch dust, you eat where only rich eat, dress like a beach models, smile yet all your assets are rapidly disappearing…

* lands all gone
* bank balance gone
* you never worked so you will probably not get any unemployment benefits, that is only unless you were living in a developed country where the Government was stupid!
* You tried doing business long time ago but you never learnt the principle of running a business. Your business dies, and you could win the genesis world record for crying long!
* slowly everything leaves you. Your assets, your spouse, and your so called rich class!
* Then, finally your ears are open. You can now hear your ancestors voice….
* Work, i had to work to give you what you enjoyed without working. Now, work or beg!

The end!

Wake up every morning, thank the God, and do your daily chore, and go to work. Yes put a great smile on your face although a gigantic angry mood would better suite to the tensions in your brain. On the way to work, get pushed out of the bus, or slam the brakes at every feet of the movement, or hear horns coming out of your back seat!

You know you never won any staff of the year awards for punctuality. As you enter the office building there goes the beautiful sound to keep you happy all day long

Boss : “Sam, this is straight twice in a row. Come see me after you clock in!”

Sam does the clock in and enters a fancy office where the boss is mumbling like a lunatic

Boss : “Sam, What is your problem man! You make a good money here! There is a rumor going around in the office. You are making videos for youtube daily and you are blogging every night on bunches of blogs. Is that true Sam?”

Sam : “well, yes!”

Boss : “What ? Well then, you might have to think about a new joooooooob! You sure do not sleep well. Your productivity is extremely low these days. I am sorry, you leave me with no choice Sam. The company policy does not allow me to hire any longer.
Sam : “Alright, if you had let me do blogging while at work, and shoot your nice angry face and office works for youtube, all this would have never happened. The he** with this job. I quit! And remember you are not the only one who is leaving me.
My wife did too!”

The end.
