Today in history–The Boxer Rebellion erupted 110 years ago and in 1994 a jury paved the way for victims of the Exxon Valdez to seek $15 billion in damages. Today also marks the 48-hour deadline from the White House given to BP to solve the oil spill. I read in the Independent, UK that a [...]
An early Saturday morning with my family is always enjoyable, but adding the World Cup kicks it up a notch. We watched a well-oiled South Korean team ease 2-0 past a lackluster Greece. The score could have been greater. I needed to be productive so I worked on my chainsaw while watching Argentina and Nigeria. [...]
How appropriate for a young lad born in Soweto to be the first to score in this World Cup. Soccer City Stadium located in Soweto was the setting for South Africa vs. Mexico. Siphiwe Tshabalala scored a lovely goal at the 55th minute. Mexico had controlled the first half, but nothing definite. Bafana Bafana goalkeeper [...]
Hours from the opening game of the most awaited sporting event; I am craving some flan, chifles, a glass of agua de Guitig and a bowl of caldo de patas. Reconnecting with childhood friends to discuss the tactics and predictions of the World Cup has become a ritual as I arise from social media hibernation. [...]
It has been a while since my last post- my time has been elsewhere. This does not mean that this blog will remain adrift, gathering virtual cobwebs. On the contrary a catalyst is on the horizon. The event that makes the world stop for a month. The World Cup- The motherland did not qualify, thanks [...]
I found a new blog via twitter- yes, it’s regarding Liverpool and there are many, but this one has some good information. http://www.empireofthekop.com/anfield/ addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fwww.albertanaya.com%2Ffound-a-new-blog-via-twitter%2F’; addthis_title = ‘Found+a+new+blog+via+twitter’; addthis_pub = ”;
I just watched this commercial from the BBC- I think it is brilliant. addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fwww.albertanaya.com%2Fpoetry-and-a-message-i-havent-seen-many-of-those-lately%2F’; addthis_title = ‘Poetry+and+a+message%2C+I+haven%26%238217%3Bt+seen+many+of+those+lately.’; addthis_pub = ”;

The back and forth battle between Portsmouth and Tottenham has come to an end. It seems that the man who tempted Jermain Defoe to Pompey has used his magic to lure Defoe back to White Hart Lane. Harry Redknapp seems to have a magnet and takes many of his former players along with him. Should [...]
By now we all know that Felipe Scolari is the coach of Chelsea, but I did not know how sensitive he was about his name. I read this on a Sky Sports blog- This summer sees the arrival of a World Cup winning coach to our coveted Premier League competition in the shape of Luiz [...]
