It's a sharp shock to your soft side.

Afterthoughts on the game…

So after spending the aftermath of the game pretty much like this:

I had to go dust myself off and go to my dance class. Wasn’t really in the mood to go anywhere but some company always made it better, and it did cheer me up. Still, seeing the FCB players almost had it and losing by an inch like that was hard to swallow—especially because it reminded me of how the German NT were always so close but no cigar in the end.  I also may have or have not cried when I saw Schweinsteiger cry.

All those shots of Schweinsteiger hiding his head and face inside his shirt was just heartbreaking—he’s worked so hard for his teams and he’s gotten no major titles to show for it. That hurts. And I don’t want him, Lahm, or any of the German NT players that I’ve grown to know and adore to end up like Ballack. 

Regardless, they fought so well until the very end. Neuer? As much as I give him crap all the time, he was incredible in that match. That penalty he took? Amazing! Lahm was phenomenal in his position, I knew he was good, but I didn’t realize how amazing he is and how lucky the Germans are to have him. Schweinsteiger had the misfortune of two injuries this past season, and his perseverance is nothing short of amazing. I know from the look of his face after that penalty, that there’s a part of him that blames himself but FCB couldn’t have made it without all the things he’s done. And it’s not just these three though—they all fought very hard during the Final and deserved to win, but luck was just not on their side this time.

Anyways, I’m looking forward to the European Championships. I think they all will do well, though I am worried for Gomez—I think he’s a great striker, but he seems to have the habit of choking during high profile matches. Regardless, I hope this loss makes them even more thirsty for that win in Poland. Auf gehts Jungs!

UEFA CL Final

Well, that was painful.

Sure, I’m not a big fan of FCB, but I hate seeing Bastian Schweinsteiger sad :(

=A= Damn, I missed the Pokal Final earlier. This season’s been really hard to watch matches ever since that whole internet crackdown and just that I’d rather catch up on sleep than wake up super early to watch soccer matches. But I do miss knowing what’s going on in the Bundesliga though, so perhaps I’ll make more of an effort next season. However, I am glad that Schalke’s done soooo much better this past season…not so glad that Borussia Dortmund won both the Bundesliga and the DFB Pokal this season though lol When it came down to it, I’d rather have Bayern win the Pokal today, rather than Dortmund—just so that Dortmund don’t win it all LOL Btw, Bayern lost 5-2 to them today, must’ve sucked balls to be Neuer today.

Anyways, some the Schalke players seems to be just chillin’ in New York this week after the Philadelphia Union. I wonder if my friend’s seen them around?

So excited for the European Championship this summer, I hope Germany gets to the Final again!

Dogs sleepwalking?

I was sleeping soundly last night, with Kobe in his cuddler next to my bed as per usual when I got woken up by this scratching noise. I looked over my bed to see what it was and there was Kobe, furiously scratching/digging at his cuddler. I watched him for a few more seconds and he just kept digging at his bed, no sign of slowing down or recognition that I was observing him. Eventually, I reached out to pet him and said, “What’s wrong, buddy?”. He finally stopped and looked at me, and I after I stopped petting him, he just went back to sleep.

I thought it was odd, because this is the first time its happened. I wonder if he was sleepwalking? Do dogs even sleepwalk?
