Goldmember would rather watch Bundesliga training, and so would I

Before I start, I’ve been a bit slack and have taken a longer break than I should have. Anyway guys, sorry, but I’m back now!

The Sydney FC fans have made the hilarious claim that Pim Verbeek looks like “Goldmember” from the 2002 Austin Powers movie! You be the judge, but personally I think there is a resemblance and that it is a hilarious observation!

So Goldmember doesn’t like the A-League. Well he later clarified himself to say that he didn’t mean to offend anyone, only that it was the “reality” that the A-League was poor. When questioned about our Bundesliga boys, namely Kennedy and Beauchamp, he said that players training for Bundesliga clubs are better prepared than those who actually play in matches in the A-League. Kewell has agreed with Goldmember’s claim.

Initially I also was insulted by this claim, until I went to the semi final on Friday night. It was the most random football I’d ever seen. No plan. No strategy. No skill. No quality whatsoever. The only time anything of substance happened is when Juninho had the ball, but what was the point? He’d make a good pass but the strikers couldn’t even finish off the easiest of chances. Maybe my standards were too high, seeing as I watch Premier League every week, but I thought I could expect a little bit from the A-League. I should have stayed at home and gone on Youtube and watched a Bundesliga training session. I would have saved $25 as well.

I was a teeny bit offended when i first heard it too, but really he is telling the truth. It is awesome to be able to watch a local club every week but most of the time it is actually really painful. 90 minutes of football shouldn’t hurt that much.
