Hala Madrid !

Well as some of you might have heard my bday passed acouple of days back bes i decided to not post about it, not till after Madrids game. I knw i dont usually write about football because lets face it not many of you would like to hear bout it bes ya3ni since it was my bday i deserve one footie post dont i?

Well so my footie post is bout my love for footie. Ive been getting alot of slack for this from parents and friends and most of em call me crazy for bein so obssessed and quite honestly I DONT CARE! Cause honestly i love this game in ways i cant describe. Since i cant describe them i will try and clarify just how much i love this game and more specifically Real Madrid.

What started off as just a method to kill time before it was my turn to go down to my arabic tutor turned into an obsession ive ditched classes, ditched SLEEP and much much more to watch Madrid play. KAFI ANA I DITCH SLEEP! oo Sure we used to be good we used to win alot and everything was honkey dorey bes its been 4 years off us doing shit 4 years of people making fun of Madrid 7ata oboy ily mala shu'3l bilkura kan yathqi6ni lama na5sir fa 7u6aw nafskum ib mukani when after 4 years of all we had a chance of winning something again! And it all came down to ONE day ! ONE game ! Needless to say i was a nervous wreck, i tried to be calm and i think i did a good job at faking calmness bes i really wasnt even close to that. Kint imwa9il youmha cuz kan 3indi quiz o report o stuff to do o i pulled an all nighter to do them o gi3adt the whole day mo makil shay lana i couldnt think about food, i couldnt think about sleep all i could think about was Madrid vs Mallorca a win wins us the league a loss.. well i didnt even want to think of that.

Game starts, and it started horribly the players were just as nervous as me and mistakes were being made left and right and well it was only a matter of time before they scored and they did around 15 mins into the game. Ana ihni gilt yala ma3alaih we've been turning around results every other game and this shouldnt stop us not with all this at stake! 32 mins in and our best striker the man who can score a goal out of nothing Ruud got injured @@ ana ihni idinya 9akat feeni 5ala9 bes gilt my 2 good luck charms cant fail me not now.

The 2 charms.

1) My msn nick has been in spanish for around 3-4 months and I never keep a nick that long bes 3ijabni o its been good luck for me ever since. Its a bit corny bes qi9at that nick is lama the fans finally lost hope o galaw ibna5sr idawri Toñin el Torero a famous fan went dressed to the games like this and started Cofradía del Clavo Ardiendo which loosely translates to the "Brotherhood of the Burning Nail." It is basically a brotherhood of people that have not lost the faith and think that Real Madrid can still win the league. So since i cant dress up like him and join him holding up that candle i did the best i could and put that as my nick for the whole time and we only lost one match out of 16 since i used that.


2) Zalabya ! I found this a bit late bes we were losing to Sevilla and i thought the league was over so i msg her and tell her we're losing she just said inshala itfozon wala thuwani o 7a6aina it3adul !! o after that goal ilfoz ! o The game against mallorca we were losing at half time so i talked to her o she wanted to go to bed bes 6ab3an ma 5alayt-ha i told her she has to be up and be my goodluck charm and well like i said shes yet to let me down =]

Back to the final game, the 2nd half started o we were dominating the game o fur9a wara fur9a o we knew we will score o it was only a matter of time o at the 68th minute GOAAAL !! 1-1 !! REYES ! The room erupted with screams! We were around 30+ ppl watching it bildorms oo the security had to calm us down bes for me it wasnt enough cause 1-1 we still lose the league we need another goal and it came a bit late but it did and ishu3or ily 7asaita lama dash is something i have never felt 4 years of struggle and pain 6li3aw mini after 10 seconds of screaming and celebrating faj2a i sat down o to find myself hyperventalting o dmoo3 ib3ani mo gadr amsik nafsi. Im so not the crying type ive been faced with alot of shit seen alot of touchy movies bes ive never even came close to shedding a tear bes when that goal i couldnt hold myself o top that off you 7a6aw my fav player Casillas ga3d yabchi min ilfar7a ana ihni 5ala9 intihait lana wala i feel for him maskeen 4 years of playing so well ( uhwa il7aris ) o shayilna maskeen 7ag FOUR years bes ilfareeq ily jidama kept letting him down bes not anymore =] the game ended 3-1 and i was ECSTATIC ! EUPHORIC ! You name a happy adjective o i was it ! In all my life only footie has been able to give me this feeling only footie has been able to make me hate my life only to love it the next week and that is why I DONT CARE if u think im careless when i play or if im a bit too obssessed bes for me this game IS my life and i love it! Some people look forward to their graduation, others to their wedding day, Me i hate graduations and weddings even more id rather just look forward to the next Madrid game.

Anyways sorry to bore you with all this footie talk heh now u you knw why i dont write about it much bes once a year should be fine and hope this clarifys why i will NEVER listen to all the footie is evil and dangerous talks cause i love it too much to care and if it means losing a finger, arm or leg then so be it as long as i can enjoy it i will!

Diarra's Goal =]
