Spain win The Euro 2008!

Finally Euro 2008 ends, and with excitement (at least for me). Though i'm not a hardcore fan of Spain NT, but i'm happy that they win, since there are some players I enjoyed watching like Cesc, David Silva, and David Villa. In fact, I think they fully deserved to win this cup, since they played with full confidence from start to end. But there's some nervous moments in the final match when they looked shaky at the beginning, played a lot of wrong passes, and seems to be afraid of those Germans. But slowly they found their rythm and played with more fluid passing.
The particular player I like to watch in Spain team is Cesc, obviously because he's the Arsenal player. He's not having a good (but not great) tournament, partly because mostly he came in second half. But he has some good moments too such as setting up 2 goals in semifinal and scoring 1 in group stage. Hope he can keep improving and most importantly stays loyal to Arsenal!
Bottom line : Viva Espana!!

Fotball (soccer) fate in Taiwan

It's really shitty that football is so unpopular in here (Taiwan), such that there's no live coverage of Euro 2008, one of the most popular event in the world in this month. All they're showing on TV are baseball, baseball, and baseball. My Goodness!!
The Taiwan people here adore New York Yankee like it's their national team. And it's all just because one of the players is coming from Taiwan. Though it is respectable, it doesn't mean that you need to cover all their matches 24 hours a day (ok, not that much, but almost 23 hours i think).

==continue==
Maybe I'm biased, but I really think that baseball is not a good choice for "national sport".

1. It takes a lot of time for a match (3-4 hours).
2. Most of the time it's just boring throw and catch. Once in a while you'll see home-runs and some nice catch, but that's all.
3. It's not intense & continuous action like football,basketball, or badminton. You'll see the pitcher do some pose, and the batter swinging his bat waiting for ball, etc. That's why you see a lot of players who are overweight(like pics below):






But sadly I don't think the sport trend in Taiwan will change in any foreseeable future, at least when some (or even just one) of their players are playing in MLB. it's a pity....

start it again!

wow, it seems that i've stopped posting on this blog for almost a year. Well, i'm now in mood to start over again LOL.
First, Blizzard has announced its new game to be DIABLO III ! i'm very excited right now. Haven't played any game lately, the last game i played was in fact Diablo II, some months back!
The Blizzard site is very lagged right now, so I couldn't check the gameplay. But hope that it won't be exclusively online multi player, since I don't have that much time too play online.
Bottom line, GO GO Blizzard!!

edit: Just saw the cinematic trailer and gameplay,and i gotta say: WOW!! (not world of warcraft) , it is astonishing!
I'll buy a new PC just to play this game. Considering that my PC is 5 years old now, it shouldn't be able to render those amazing scenes. But I don't think it'll come soon though, so i should have enough time for saving .
