Wow, there's been like a week between posts; have I really been that busy to blog? Or am I getting over this blogging thing? What ever it is it's not stopping me today; so here I am to blog on about football and some other stuff.
Firstly some Urawa update. We played FC Tokyo @ Ajinomoto stadium over the weekend which resulted in a 1-nil victory for the reds; Edmilson scoring the only goal in the 49th min. We didn't make things easy though, playing a majority of the second half with only 10 men after Haraguchi got his marching orders in the 53rd min after collecting his second yellow card. Either way in the end we held on for the win. We still remain 8th on the ladder, with another 3 teams equal on 49 points. If we just had won a fortnight ago against Omiya, we would be in 4th place, to points behind the ACL position. That's how things go sometimes.
Barcelona also had a win in the La Liga over the weekend, defeating Mallorca 4-2 at the Nou Camp and then defeated third tier team Cultural Leonesa 5-nil in the Copa del Ray midweek.
Now on to football of the American kind; the Houston Texans lost to the Indianapolis Colts 20-17. Kris Brown could have tied the game as time expired, but missed his 42-yard field goal attempt. The Colts have now won 17 regular season games on the trot, but I tell you what, the Texans did give them a run for their money.
FINALLY, in NCAA Football Stanford defeated Oregon 51-42. The win over Oregon, who are the nations 7th rank team, vaults Cardinal Football back into the rankings, at 25, for the first time since 2001.
Overall it has been a good week/weekend for "my football" teams, except for when it comes to my teams in FIFA10. But that's for another time and place.
