Patrick's Diary - 4/17/2016

It's almost midnight now, I am wrapping up my diary for this relaxed Sunday to avoid having to catch it up tomorrow night. I plan to go to gym to work out then. 

Waking up at 6:30 am, I was only able to watch the second half of the match in which Leicester played West Ham. I wasn't sure if Football Association would like the championship races to be more dramatic. It seemed to me the referee a little bit bias. I might be wrong because I heard the commentators saying several controversial calls having been made in other matches, so this one might be only one of them. However, it ended up a 2-2 draw. Everything was justified. 
Switching to FSN1, I watched the 2nd half of Dortmund taking Hamburg at Bundesliga. The former eventually won 3 to 1. The last BPL match was between Arsenal and Crystal Palace. I remember Crystal Palace performed pretty well at the beginning of the season but now it is close to relegation zone too. They were lucky to get a point at the end. 
Mariners weren't able to win the last game at Yankee Stadium but lost a very close game. 

After lunch, I started watching Soccer Sunday: Orlando City hosting New England Revolution. The match was playing at Citrus Bowl Stadium and more than 40,000 fans showed up. It was a very sunny day over there. I bet the fans enjoying the match wildly. Checking online, I figured a new soccer-specific stadium to be used in 2017. With only 25,000 seats, I wasn't sure how it would work. The match itself was as controversial as the one between West Ham and Leicester. Referee gave each side a questionable penalty kick to have the match tied at the end. I had to use the word of "Justify" several times for the different matches across the ocean today. 
Instead of going to gym to work out, I decided only to wash my van under the beautiful sunshine before coming back to my bedroom to watch another MLS match between FC Dallas and Sporting KC. I washed my van and mowed the lawn within 40 minutes. When I turned on the TV to FSN1, the match was about to kick off in five minutes. 
Compared to the previous match in Orlando, it's a pity that very few fans were at the stadium. It sounded an earlier harsh rain driving the fans away. Though so many vacant seats could be viewed, fans still chanted very loudly. I was glad to see former sounder Rosales being subbed to score the winning freekick. He was my favorite Sounder when he assisted Johnson scoring so many goals then. He also scored several goals through freekick by himself. 
Not having taken shower since Friday morning, I took a long one after watching the soccer match and also cleaned the bathroom thoroughly. Searching on HBO and StarZ, I eventually decided to watch Furious 7 again. I had never watched entire movie, it's the best time to do it tonight before calling off the weekend.
