好像是大約自03年夏天利物浦訪港起﹐球迷們興起“香港魔咒”這一個論說。魔咒大意謂凡曾來港跟港聯或香港球會作賽過的球隊﹐來季的戰績定不會盡如人意。要不就是與錦標無緣(像利物浦﹑皇馬和巴塞隆拿)﹐再不就是要慘遭降級或破產(像新春時來港的夏德)。這一說法這幾年越吹越烈﹐差點把香港說成“疫埠”一樣﹐攪不好隨時令很多外國球隊聞港色變﹐不肯來港跟香港的球會作賽了。然而在新春期間來港踢賀歲盃的烏拉圭彭拿路隊﹐便成功的擊敗了香港魔咒﹐凱旋奪標了。
在烏甲最後一輪定生死的賽事, 彭拿路5-3成功打敗河床奪標. 本場賽事以在意甲當了數年人球的隊長柏查高(Antonio Pacheco) 最為搶鏡. 這位多年來只曾為國際米蘭踢過一場賽事的中場大腦, 傳射功架不俗, 乃奠定勝局的功臣. 而把勝利戰果鎖定的, 卻是烏國國腳, 在大年初一拿了紅包(紅牌)被趕離場的般奴(Carlos Bueno). 年初一的不快, 並沒有令他們流年不利, 足見迷信事是經不起考驗的。有實力有自信心者﹐定必能衝破這些無形的八卦心理障礙, 獲得最後勝利的.
又, 當日有跟港聯交手的夏德, 返回克羅地亞後踢得非常差勁, 還差一點點破產. 唉.
衣服的顏色
早前泛民新左開炮, 抨擊政府呼籲市民"穿紅衣迎聖火" 的舉動, 係制造分化, 缺乏包容.....最最好笑的, 係某些社運人在感嘆: 想不到市民要以穿甚麼顏色的衣服來標籤及分辨"敵我"云云.
有趣的是, 數年前的七一遊行, 主辦單位不是要參加者穿黑衣穿白衣麼? 那﹐當日這些號召, 又是甚麼呢?
「沒有英格蘭的歐國盃﹐真好」
(圖﹕贏得實至名歸的西班牙)
反曼網的大佬畢烈拿兄愛曰﹕"香港, 畢竟仍然是英格蘭的殖民地 --- 英格蘭足球的殖民地。" 不計英倫本土﹐放眼全球﹐也只有香港人(和馬來人及星州人)會對前宗主國足球的盲目地崇拜。今屆歐國盃﹐水準其實甚高﹐各隊整體的表現亦很悅目。然而卻總搞不起甚麼熱潮﹐還有不少人批評賽事沉悶﹐實在令人震驚。
於此時﹐平日政見相左﹐寫作不用腦的大小報刊﹐罕有地聯合起來亂吹﹐把冷淡的氣氛歸咎於英格蘭在外圍賽鍛羽。想不到回歸十一年﹐香港的"球迷"對三獅的癡戀﹐還是這麼濃烈。尚幸﹐低水平的英曼利迷始終並非全部。收買佬仍然有幸在主流媒體讀到如 「沒有英格蘭的歐國盃﹐真好」﹐實在令人欣慰。
一天不丟棄英倫/英超至上的思維﹐抗拒接受其他如拉美或荷蘭的足球﹐香港人對足球的觀賞水平﹐永遠只會停留在低層次﹐亦永不能透過偷師去學懂一招幾式真功夫。可悲的是﹐目下不止香港﹐連全無"殖民地情意結"的內地﹐也開始唯英超是瞻。怪不得﹐國足的水平﹐近年亦江河日下﹐哎。

Xavi emerges as EURO's top man
Spain midfielder Xavi Hernández has been named as the Castrol Player of the Tournament for UEFA EURO 2008 after his stirring displays aided his nation to the title.
Tecnhicians' approval
The 28-year-old FC Barcelona player played in five games at the finals and scored once as Spain earned their first major international success since beating the Soviet Union in the final of the 1964 UEFA European Championship.
His ability to dictate the pace of the game from midfield brought him to the attention of the UEFA Technical Team who decide upon the Castrol Player of the Tournament, taking into account votes from the public.
Growing reputation
The 1-0 final victory in Vienna marked Xavi's 63rd cap for Spain since making his debut – along with team-mate Carles Puyol – in a game against the Netherlands on 15 November 2000.
He had been an unused squad player with Spain at UEFA EURO 2004 in Portugal but was a first-team regular by the time of the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals in Germany, and showed maturity and no small amount of brilliance in Austria and Switzerland.
台灣也是只播英超啊,以前還會播播西甲,但是現在只有英超,雖然我也很想看看其他國家的足球聯賽,但是在台灣這座足球沙漠,能有英超看我們就感激不盡了,真悲哀@@
Philipp Lahm？我係咪眼花？
ksli & colin: 你地無眼花﹐真係拿姆。有眼花的﹐係投了票的記者。
吳兄﹕其實要看足球的話﹐也不一定要靠電視。網絡資源多的是﹐不然收買佬也不
知去那兒看俄國﹑阿根廷和別的東歐南美聯賽了。
臨尾果段,好有陶傑果種抽水feel~~
