Oh my god. Shocking and bad news from soccernet. The first and most unbelievable one. "Zaragoza demolish Real Madrid 6-1 in King's Cup semi-final". What happened to the team that used to dominate the Spanish League and Champion's League? I guess this is one of the worst, if not the worst defeats ever of Real Madrid. How can they let Diego Milito smash in his hattrick by half time?! Oh man...

Next, Chelsea's 4-1 demolition of Everton in the FA Cup. Oh yes, Chelsea continues their blistering run of good form and are on track for their first title this season. Who can stop them? They are going to win the FA Cup, Premiership and whatnot, but maybe not the Champion's League, cuz they are going to meet mighty Barcelona and ACMilan. On the other hand, Liverpool just lost to Charlton in the EPL, so now Liverpool are 21 points behind leaders Chelsea, and Manchester United, in second place, are 15 points behind Chelsea. They are going to get the title if they continue their winning streak in the next eight games. How boring EPL is getting.

And the most hilarious news, Mido got a 6-month ban from the national team, for his stubborn actions on the pitch during the semi-finals of the African Cup of Nations. He was shocked by his coach's decision to take him off with 11 minutes left, and refused to get off the pitch. Egypt was held to a tie at 1-1 with Senegal when Mido was substituted. And when he finally left the pitch, he almost picked up a fight with his coach. And their exchange of words was hilarious.

Mido: Why are you taking me off??
Shehata (Egypt national team coach): Because I am your coach!
Mido: You are nothing but a donkey!
Shehata: You are the donkey!

Hahaha. oh my goodness, so childish. Apparently Mido was ineffective on the pitch for the 88 minutes he was there. And the substitute who replaced Mido, Zaki, scored with his first touch on the pitch and sent Egypt through to the finals to meet Ivory Coast.

Alright this entry is super random.
