I haven't been able to write much lately because I have been swamped with finals...but they're over and summer is here! Hooray! With that I will just give some of my random football thoughts and observations from the last week or so:
1. Benfica plays at Porto this weekend with a chance to clinch the Primeira Liga title. Both sides are unbeaten in the league this season. This will be one of the biggest games of the year in all leagues and the atmosphere is going to be absolutely incredible. Must-see TV.
2. Graham Zusi single-handedly dominated Chivas USA over the weekend in SKC's blowout win. One of, if not the best individual MLS performances I've ever seen.
3. I'm a Valencia supporter if you haven't figured that out by now, and Los Che had a perfect weekend - they beat Osasuna 4-0 and Real Sociedad lost to Getafe. Valencia only trails la Real by two points for the last Champions League spot. It's gonna go right down to the wire.
4. Gareth Bale.
5. Jürgen Klopp is a hero. I freaking love that guy. In addition to being a football genius his personality is top-class entertainment. He should have a TV camera on his face at all times. Can't wait for the Champions League final at Wembley.
6. Lionel Messi is the best player in the world and anyone who makes an argument to that is insane. I mean I already knew that but that fact was just reiterated to me again with his display against Betis over the weekend. His mere presence on the field changes the atmosphere of an entire game, from the fans to the players on both teams. It's incredible to watch. I'm so grateful that we live in an age where everything he does on the pitch is saved for posterity on the internet. People will be able to appreciate him years and years from now.
Well that's it for now but hopefully I'll be able to post a little more regularly since I'm out of school. Happy summer to all.
