WC10 : Spain the World Champions. Why the Spaniards are better than the English?

dari ChangkatNingkeBTP

Congrats to the Spain football team as they won 1-0 against the spirited Dutch at this morning WC Final. As a Reds its truly amazing to see Torres & Pepe Reina won the World Cup. As also the ex-Reds of Alonso and Arbeloa. Sorry for Kuyt and Babbel in the Dutch contingent ... who guys had tried your best. Several Reds performed admirably in the WC2010 namely Skrtel (Slovakia), Agger (Denmark), Mascherano (Argentina -captain) and not to be forgotten the English duo of Gerrard (the captain) and Jamie Carragher.

However the Spanish are truly great. A reversed 0-1 to the Swiss as only a temporary blip. They move to won mostly 1-0 till the final. They were several reasons they're better than the English team who were considered as favorites:
1. Spain have 3 ... I repeat, THREE world class goalkeepers. Apart from Iker the Captain, they have the penalty-stopper expert in Pepe Reina of Liverpool. The third keeper? The Barcelona custodian, Valdes. England? NONE
2. In Centerback. just compare between Terry & partners (whoever they were) with Puyol and Pique of Barcelona. I rest my case.
3. Right back? The world class Ramos. His deputy? Arbeloa, the x-Reds.
4. Left back Capdevilla and Albiol. Just compae then to so called world class of A Cole.
5. The midfield dynamo of Xavi & Iniesta. With the support of Alonso & Busquets. Even Fabregas is on the sub. Add David Silva and you have a two midfield team. Even Senna was not picked this time. Need I Say more? Stevie G & Lamps? Though world class but cant play as a unit. Barry... sorry.
6. Wingers aplenty such as Navas, Pedro and even Villa who can score using both feets.
7. Striker... Villa & Torres with Llorente and Mata as back ups. Truly amazing. Just compare with Capello's Heskey?
8. Del Basque the coach. Quite but unassuming. Very experience both as player and coach of Real Madrid.

In other words, England need to reform ... need a good team ...look at Germany and Holland, they have able back-ups. and off course... over-commercialization is not a good thing to build a team.

Me? back to Football Manager.

PARTI WAWASAN NEGARA: RUMAH BAHARU, RETAK LAMA DAN PERTARUNGAN MENGUASAI POLITIK MELAYU

Parti politik boleh diumumkan dalam sehari. Nama boleh dipilih, logo boleh direka dan pentas boleh dipenuhi ribuan penyokong. Namun, akar politik tidak tumbuh melalui pengumuman. Ia memerlukan jentera, calon, pembiayaan, naratif dan kepercayaan rakyat. Pada 13 Jun 2026, Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin mengumumkan penubuhan Parti Wawasan Negara dalam Konvensyen RESET Malaysia di Tanah Merah. Nama parti tersebut dikatakan dicadangkan oleh Presiden PAS, Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang. Pada majlis sama, parti baharu itu diumumkan akan menyertai PRN Johor dan Negeri Sembilan menggunakan lambang Perikatan Nasional.  Namun, kelahiran Parti Wawasan Negara bukan sekadar penambahan sebuah lagi parti dalam daftar politik Malaysia. Ia sebenarnya tanda bahawa perebutan kepimpinan blok pembangkang sudah memasuki fasa baharu . Persoalannya bukan semata-mata sama ada Parti Wawasan Negara mampu memenangi banyak kerusi. Persoalan yang lebih besar ialah: Siapakah yang akan mengetuai pembangkang Melayu selepas ...

Almarhum Prof. Dr. Shaharuddin Badaruddin: Murabbi Cakna OKU, Pemangkin Awal Advokasi OKU Selangor

Ada perjuangan yang bermula dengan dasar. Ada perjuangan yang bermula dengan kertas kerja. Ada perjuangan yang bermula dengan mesyuarat panjang dan perbincangan rasmi. Tetapi ada juga perjuangan yang bermula dengan satu panggilan hati. Bagi saya, apabila Dasar OKU Selangor akhirnya dilancarkan, ia bukan sekadar satu dokumen dasar negeri. Ia bukan sekadar pencapaian pentadbiran. Ia adalah sambungan daripada satu perjalanan panjang advokasi, kasih sayang, kesedaran dan keberanian moral untuk meletakkan OKU sebagai sebahagian penting dalam agenda pembangunan negeri. Dan dalam perjalanan itu, satu nama tidak mungkin saya lupakan. Almarhum Prof. Dr. Shaharuddin Badaruddin. Ramai mengenali beliau sebagai seorang ahli akademik, pemimpin universiti, pemikir masyarakat dan tokoh politik yang bersahaja. Tetapi bagi saya, beliau lebih daripada itu. Beliau ialah seorang murabbi. Seorang insan yang tidak hanya berbicara tentang kemanusiaan, tetapi menghidupkan kemanusiaan itu dalam tindakan. Hari i...
