NBA Allstar Game 2005

Not a bad game so far, although I’m missing the whole “Showtime” basketball a little bit. More layups, three-pointers and turnovers (West already more than 20) than nice dunk/alley-oops. I don’t know if it’s the thin air up in mile high city or what? The only real highlight so far: Vince “Air Canada”/”Vincanity” Carter’s pass to himself of the glass…

On another note: 04:48am…I guess I’m going to get some sleep now as I’m really tired and this game isn’t keeping me on the edge of my seat at all (this is really the first time I’m not watching an NBA allstar game till the end)…so, I’ll call it a “night” – Go Dirk! Go West :-)

Update: So the East won it 125-115 and Iverson got the MVP award…so I guess my decision to get at least some sleep was right :wink:

The last friendly match before the restart of the season was a good one, although the weather really played it’s tricks on us (it started snowing just before the start of the match and shortly after that the whole field was covered with snow).

Best thing: I came into the match at the end (around the 80th minute?!) and scored the 2-2 :mrgreen: :tup: :tup:

Super bowl half time. Boy what an intesive first half. I think Philadelphia should have score at least once more, but hey…we’ve got another half to go…and with the 7-7 at half time my prediction of 14-10 still stands :mrgreen:

Now it’s time to get something to eat, relax a little and watch the halftime show :tup:

So it’s time…for some it might be the most important sunday of the year, for me it’s just Superbowl Sunday. Pregame coverage will start at 10:30pm and the game itself will start at 0:30am (my timezone is GMT+1).

I’m really looking forward and I guess it’ll be a close game. My pick? I think it’s going to be hard to stop the Patriots as they played nearly flawless for weeks, but I’m still going with Philadelphia (someone needs to root for the underdogs!)…so my prediction is: Philadelphia 14-10 New England :mrgreen:

(NFL) Steelers 27-41 Patriots

The AFC Championship seems to be already decided at half-time?! Patriots 24-3 Steelers :shock:

I guess there’s no way that Pittsburgh will come back from 3 TDs down…which gives me the chance to get some sleep (1:56am here)…

Update: So Pittsburgh came back a little after all, but they weren’t able to come back for good.

So, congrats to the Pats – AFC Champions 2004.

A superb defensive performance and some nice offensive moves, too. Very well deserved.

NFC Champions 2004 Philadelphia Eagles

See you in Jacksonville…

Next on is Pittsburgh vs. New England for the AFC Championship…(should I really watch a game that starts at 0:30am /my timezone, GMT+1/ ?! Ah well, I’ll watch at least the first quarter half :wink:

Indoor footie tournament

Update: I didn’t have the chance to post via my mobile phone…so here’s a quick wrap-up:

Won the first match 2-1
Won the second match 4-1 (I scored the 1-0)
Lost the remaining 5 matches, some of them due to dumb mistakes in the last seconds (you shouldn’t lose a match if you’ve got the ball and there’s only 7 seconds left on the clock).

All in all, not a bad day as we were the lowest ranked team in the tournament (usually our first team, which is playing 3 leagues above us, is playing this tournament).
End Update

Alrighty, it’s indoor footie time today. We’re playing the “Bottwartal-Turnier” today which puts all active soccer teams of the nearer surroundings up against each other. I just set up email-posting, hopefully you will have the chance to see my posts I will make during the day (via Email from my mobile phone) :mrgreen:
