Chelsea F.C vs Liverpool F.C
Carling Cup Quarter Finals
Location: Stamford Bridge
Status: Full time
Result: Chelsea 0-2 Liverpool
Scorers:-
Chelsea: N/a
Liverpool: Maxi Rodriguez, Kelly
Terrific Liverpool display without Suarez and Kuyt, out for Chelsea from the League Cup.
Match Analysis:
Both teams had major changes to the team. Cech, Suarez, Kuyt, Skrtel, Drogba and a few others didnt come out as expected. Liverpools head was leaded by Carrol, with backup from Henderson and Bellamy as well as Rodriguez. Spearing was present along with fellow youngsters Kelly and Coates. Carragher is the main defence man, and Reina starts as usual.
First half was tight and filled with interceptions and tackles. Liverpool's biggest chance came with a penalty taken by Carrol but was saved comfortably. Chelsea's was Lukaku's header gone wide sailing across the goal.
Second half was more intense. I dont know for sure, but I believed it was Chelsea's stamina that brought them down. Bellamy's great run onside finished with a one on one Maxi with the keeper- just brilliant. Not too late after that a freekick from the side of the box, also taken by Bellamy, was converted with a header by an unmarked Kelly. Chelsea's best chance was a free run by Anelka, but was thwarted by quick defending and a quick thinking, off-his-line Reina.
Overall, Liverpool deserved a win, though dissapointing for Chelsea fans. They lost once more against Liverpool, home and away. Liverpool are on for the last four.

Liverpool F.C Updates #8
Liverpool F.C VS Manchester City
Barclay's Premier League
Location: Anfield
Status: Full time
Result: Liverpool 1-1 Manchester City
Scorers:
Liverpool F.C: O.G Lescott
Manchester City: Vincent Kompany
A red card for Ballotelli as well as a clinging performance by City.
Match Analysis:
An exciting kickoff. Both teams were set to defensive much to City fans' surprise. Dzeko and Ballotelli did not start, but Nasri, Aguero and Silva were given a place to start up City's attacks. Liverpool once again left Carrol on the bench with Bellamy withdrawn after the devastating death of Gary Speed. May his soul rest in peace. Kuyt was given an opportunity to start with Suarez, and all new signings were given a chance such as Stewart Downing, Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam. Lucas is also already a first team regular.
The game started with Liverpool attacking alot. Both teams constantly had men behind the ball, rendering counter attacks by City to ashes that ended up only with shots on target. Aguero got a run but a rushing Reina way out his box saved the day. City got the first goal through a corner that ended up on Vincent Kompany's head due to slack defending by Johnson and Kuyt. Liverpool didnt take long to respond with a wayward shot by Adam, which was steered into his own net by Lescott in an attempt to clear the ball out. No more was seen of both teams except a few tries that ended up nowhere.
After half time, Liverpool started to control the ball after a series of attack by City early in the second half. Runs from Enrique, Adam and Suarez always ended up with dismay. Suarez was again the man to watch by almost scoring twice. Reina did his runs as well. Joe Hart did a brilliant job as a goalkeeper, saving tons of tries from the home team. Ballotelli and Dzeko was then brought on. Ballotelli got 2 yellow cards for tugging and pushing: an addition to Mancini's already brewing anger. The match ended after a series of Liverpool tries as well as a saved Carrol header destined for goal. It was a deserved draw for Liverpool, and a half upset for City.

Harimau Malaya Updates #3
Malaysia VS Bahrain
Olympics Qualifiers
Stadium Bukit Jalil
Match ended 3-2 to Bahrain's favour.
Match Analysis:
Bad game for Malaysians. To think they threw away a 2-0 lead.. horrible.
First half was a Malaysian half. They attacked alot and came up with one long ranged goal by 17-year old Nazmi. Beautiful goal. Malaysia dominated possession and of course looked like the better team.
Second half was opened also by the Malaysian team. They fought to get another goal through Mahali due to a goalkeeper slip-up. However, later in the game, Bahrain went on to win with 3 goals in 6 minutes. Unbelievable. Malaysia threw away possession, to let go for a bicycle kick, a freekick as well as a low kick to reach the net.
Bad game for Malaysians. The stadium was quiet, obviously showing disappointment.

Malaysia VS Syria
Match ended 2-0 to Syria's favour :0
It was a terrible upset at home. Malaysia got owned bad, due to poor defence and possession as well as a too rushing play. Very dissapointed with Fakri and Thamil Arasu's performance.

Harimau Muda Updates #1
Win!! The SEA Games football medal is ours!!
Malaysia VS Indonesia
Venue: Jakarta
Match ended 1-1 after extra time, Malaysia win on penalties 4-3.
Scorers:
Malaysia: Asraruddin
Indonesia: Gunawan
Match Analysis:
First half was a domination by Indonesia. Their first and only goal was at the 5th minute mark with a corner ended with a header. A slack manmarking error allowed for such an easy goal. Asraruddin hit back with a very, very low header to score through 2 defenders. Beautiful goal indeed. Malaysia fought well during the second half of the first half.
Second half was opened with Indonesia attacking relentlessly through Bonai and Octo. Fakri wasted some chances but managed to hit a few shots on target. Irfan was also a man to watch. The half was filled with tries, but no goals were produced.
Extra time was also uneventful with major chances for Indonesia. Many crams and rolling on the floor: Usual for men fighting for 120 minutes.
Penalties were extremely nervewrecking. First a post miss by Indonesia, followed by a saved shot of Fakri. The tiebreaker was a save from Khairul Fahmi, and a shot almost saved from Baddrol Bakhtiar, captain of Harimau Muda.
Fighting till the end, very competitive match. Frustated to see Indonesian fans disrespecting the Negaraku anthem by using blowhorns: though silenced during the prize awarding ceremony. Good and well deserved win for Malaysia. Indonesia depended on one man skill, though Malaysia's beautiful passing and teamwork game got the better of them. Tahniah, Harimau Muda, Tahniah Baddrol, Tahniah Khairul, Tahniah Ong Kim Swee. Tahniah.

Liverpool F.C. Updates #7
Yes, Ive changed the title. More suitable.
Chelsea F.C VS Liverpool F.C
Match ended 2-1 to Liverpool's favour :D
Scorers:
Liverpool F.C: Maxi Rodriguez, Johnson
Chelsea: Sturridge
Match Analysis:
Attacking Liverpool and a disoriented Chelsea on the first half. Liverpool fought hard with through passes and brilliant runs from Bellamy and Suarez as the frontmen, and managed to score the first goal of the match after the crowd was tricked of seeing Drogba scoring a goal from a freekick. It was narrowly out, but Reina saw it all the way. An unselfish Suarez passed the ball to Bellamy for a shot, but instead fooled the home defence with a shadowing Rodriguez on the left side. He cooly slotted the ball home for his squad to lead.
The second half was more of the opposite. Liverpool were mostly chasing the ball all the time with Chelsea pressing on and on for an equaliser. Substitute Sturridge went on to score from a cross with his feet. Liverpool didnt come back after some time but the turning point was when Reina saved a very close header. Downing went on to replace Bellamy and he played fluently with Henderson to press on some attack. A side change allowed Johnson to go solo and slice through the middle of the box, kicking the winner in the net. Cech had no chance.
Brilliant game, and a suspected win for Liverpool. :)

Information Updates of The World #6
Liverpool F.C VS Swansea
Match ended 0-0
Scorers: None
Match Analysis:
Uneventful yet an interesting match to watch. Liverpool was saved from humiliation by Reina twice, and Swansea themselves saved by their goalkeeper, tons of times. Shots from Suarez and Adam all went to vain. The highlight was Liverpool's 11th woodwork hit thanks to an Andy Carrol. Defienetely should have scored. Liverpool should have won.
