Time for a new post

It's time. I've been M.I.A. for a while, and I don't have any real reason. I woke up this morning and had the urge to post (it's been building the last couple of days, plus mates have been asking what's up). So here we are.

I last posted something in late April! Shit. Since that time the San Antonio Spurs won the NBA Championship, beating Cleveland of all teams; Juventus, Napoli and Genoa have all been promoted from Serie B to Serie A; AC Milan won the Champions League; Chelsea won the FA Cup; Collingwood had their way with the Swans (last night); TNA dropped the NWA title belts and adopted their own, with Kurt Angle becoming the first TNA Champion; Mr McMahon blew himself up in a limo and is 'presumed dead', causing some to think he was really dead and the WWE stock being affected; Edge is the WWE World Heavyweight Champ and has moved accross to Smackdown, plus a big draft happened shifting the mid card around a bit accross the brands; Geelong are first on the AFL ladder, God knows how; Chris Tarrant is still a tool who can't stay out of trouble; Lewis Hamilton is the next big thing in F1, after winning 2 races he leads teammate and reigning champion Fernando Alonso by 10 points in the standards and he is a very young rookie! He could be the next "greatest"; Casey Stoner leads the Moto GP standings on his powerful Ducati, which is awesome for me particularly, an Aussie on an Italian bike, but Rossi is in second and the season is only half way done son...

Heaps more stuff but I can't remember anymore. What I will do now though is go through the things we are looking forward to over the next few weeks:

  • The Atlanta Hawks drop their new uniforms tomorrow (but here they are). Kind of unimaginative. They've gone from red/yellow to red/blue and now they look like Team USA.
  • Asian Cup - the Socceroos are about to embark on this one, and they are a real chance to win the whole damn show (which will probably prompt a vote kicking us out of the Asian Confederation).
  • Ben Cousins is gonna come back - can't wait to see the conditions of his new contract when they are made public.
  • Greg Oden vs Kevin Durrant. Who goes number 1 in the NBA draft next week? The Blazers won the lottery and Seattle picks second. Logic says Oden but Portland are dropping hints about Durrant to try and muddy the waters a bit.
  • Can Geelong stay in the top 2 or will they slide like usual? Can the Dockers climb, or will Chris Connoly finally get the sack (that one's for you Jase).
  • British Moto GP on tonight with Stoner only qualifying in 5th.

There you go - a new post. Hopefully I can keep it up!

I doubt we will win the Asian Cup. I think we will top our group but then fade away. So yeah dont get too excited peoples

It would be good, though. We need to improve world ranking and get some pride back.

What are the other powerhouses in the cup?
