It's my soccer Sunday, I had watched five soccer matches since early morning, though falling into sleep from time to time, which no consumption of coffee should be entirely blamed. Checking on a website last night, I learned the people with O-Positive blood type like me should avoid caffeine. So, from tomorrow, I will not drink as much coffee as I have been taking in the office.
The first match was between Leicester and Sunderland. I didn't know Yedlin playing for the latter but it made sense because he wouldn't have a chance to play for Tottenham. Leicester kept winning to get closer to its historic BPL championship.
Before Tottenham taking Manchester United, I watched the second half of Schalke playing Dortmund at Bundesliga. I wasn't sure if they wanted to please me or not, both scored four goals in total to make a draw at the end after I started watching the match. The fans were energized anyway. I filmed clips instead of snapping the photos because it's hard to find the clips for current matches at Bundesliga on Youtube.
Going downstairs to the living room, I kept watching BPL match on big screen. No goal had been made until late second half after Manchester United made some substitutes. Tottenham won big at the end and they are poised to take runner-up in this season.
While watching the match, I tested barbeque grill and even fried two eggs on the burner. It worked very well though cleaning needed to be done because so many stains were on it. I can't recall if I cleaned it after the last BBQ meal we made in last year. I should have, but why was it so dirty? My mom had gone to the kitchen to cook congee, so she mentioned to me to have some congee for lunch with the baked potatoes I planned to make.
My parents ate Chinese wraps or burgers, whatever you name it, they made for lunch while I was eating the baked potato with mayonnaise. Watching Sounders' challenging Houston Dynamos, I was disappointed. Martins was a very practical super star at MLS but we lost him to Chinese possibly due to the money temptation. Soccer is the hottest sport in China but not in US. It makes sense Chinese willing to invest more in it. The super stars MLS are getting are fake because they are retiring. Martins is younger and definitely more valuable with his dominant skillsets. Coming back to my bedroom to watch the second half, I fell into sleep to miss the equalizer Marshall scored.
Mariners were swept by Athletics in their home opening series, I don't know if this indicated another disappointing season or not. Switching to FSN1 to watch NYC taking Chicago Fires in the funny soccer field made from Yankees' baseball field, I almost fell into sleep the entire match but did notice the scoreless board at the end.
Staying in the bed, I watched the entire match in which Galaxy played Timbers. The visitor scored the goal first and almost won the match until a sarcastic perfect diving header was made by their own defender. The talking point actually was De Jong's dirty fault on one of timber's ankle. I am not sure if referee wanted to please De Jong whom might be another practical star like Martins given all fake super stars hadn't performed across the clubs at MLS.
Going downstairs, I ate two Chinese wraps and drank a bottle of Heineken while watching Out of Sight, an old movie I first watched in a theater alone at 2:00 pm in a weekday afternoon in 1998 while my wife then was at work. I never told her that. During that several weeks, I didn't have much to do, so watched several new releases by myself. Another one I watched and can remember was Six Nights & Seven Days.
