Where Are the Winning Teams?

Has been a long time since Raiders and Dodgers won the Super Bowl and the World Series? Now I ask Could be a future for both teams? Only the Lord knows.
Raiders and Dodgers are my childhood teams, and believe me that I won't change them by any other team; they're special to me.

It's depressing when you support a team and this one loses every time (Raiders maybe are living in the past). I don't wanna be pessimistic, but if a team has "young" players and they're able to show their potential; why don't show it on the field?

Is too easy say, "Yeah, we're going to give our best" when they weren't focused in the field. Is supposes that Raiders has a lot of 'great players' but not the 'young' kid can become a biggest player arriving in the Big Leagues. I know, isn't easy, but if they really wants to keep going, Why don't prove it?

I prefer 'expert's or the 'Masters' as in USA use to call the veterans than a 22, 24 or 25 years old players.

Is the problem about the coach or the players? Because we use to blame them as "They don't know how to DO IT," "The team needs a better coach, better players." I think the whole team including the coaches and administration has the responsibility of bring to their fans the faith that they can show the potential.

Dodgers have a very young players but the team wasen't good enough this year to reach the World Series. Phillies since the beginning were more powerful in the batting than Dodgers. The pitchers were scared about their (Phillies) power at bat, Derek Lowe and Chad Billingsley weren't able to show their pitching skills.

I will say that Hiroki Kuroda was more able to defeat the Phillies than the other two players. Kuroda is 33 years old (I guess, sorry I'm not good with remembering ages) is a ROOKIE, Dodgers signed him one year ago. Lowe is old too but didn't give his best.

The same happens in Raiders, What about JaMarcus Russell? He is the 'star' or that the team and coaches thinks. I know, the results of Jane Kiffin were more loses than wins, but the new 'coach' was worst than the previous one, for my point of view, I don't blame him, but if he has the game 'plays' Why are so bad? Are the Players?

Just three wins? in the season, Ohh God, bless my teams, Don't know why but those teams lost their name, right now the players just cares the money, not the Shirt of the team or specially the TEAM, for me a Team is the Life, those teams are my life.

Hope the next year both have a great season and the players awakes their power that is hidden in the field.

The fans we're expecting good results for the next seasons.

'No matter if they wins or loses, I'll be supporting them 'till death!'

That's the phrase that I always say to my 'rivals'

Raider and Dodger Fan!

Manchester United In Japan, Pachuca FC Too

Well, the FIFA Club World Championships is in Japan, and Manchester United are set to arrive to the competition after their duel Sunday at Tottenham.

I want to say that Manchester United impressed me the first time that I saw them play; they're amazing! Clearly their players have a lot of talent, but some of them don't appear to be keepers, such as Nani, Park, O'Shea and others that I can't remember right now (hehe).

Also, one of Mexico's finest football clubs is in Japan: Pachuca FC. I'm surprised because some japanese people love this club, despite it hailing from South America. I didn't think that the 'Tuzos' had any "fans"over there, although one of their fan's said that he is interested in Mexican, Argentinean and Spanish football.

So, let's follow the FIFA Club World Championships in Japan, and hope for a matchup between United and Pachuca.My favorite Manchester U. player is Wayne Rooney, lol he's one year older than me hehe.

Wayne Rooney is only one year older than me, he's my favorite player!

I will write more about my favorite teams ^^.

See ya, take care!
