Sophie-福欢－岩语

David Beckham is one of most famous football players in the world.  I know him since  i was in high school.  My deskmate loved him so much, and she forced me to listen all the things about David Beckham, at that time, i knew everything about him and had his posters on the wall…

Just a few days ago, i read a news that David Beckham emained in with a chance of winning his 100th England cap in next week’s friendly against France in Paris .  It is an important movement, and a great news.  Just like Terry said, “The Whole country is hoping he gets his 100th cap, because if anyone deservies, he does.”  And his fans would very glad to hear it. Morever, he has been captain always in the past games, we are so familiar about that. But there is some special time.

I usually wonder to know the reason to choose the captain, but for David Beckham, there is no doubt about his skills, his football ability, and his popularity. And his sportslife seems long, the football player may be have longer sportslife that other athletes. His famous also because his beautiful wife.  The article use “should be”, as we  all known, the decision right in the coach, not us. We just hope, and we just pray, if he will be the captain , that will be very special for David Beckham and also fans.  For that will be more memorable.  I just hope this good dream will come true, i am not a real Beckham fan, but i still pray for him!

In all, good luck for David Beckham! Good luck to England, we really hope Beckham will be captain, not just should be!

This NBA season is really good for Rockets, on Friday night, Houston Rockets defeat the Charlotte Bobcats with 89 to 80, so they win their 21st game in a row, and create the best record in team’s history, becoming the second-longest streak in league history. The first-longest streak was Lakers, who won 33 in a row during 1971-1972.Even though, this victory gave the Rockets first place in the Western Conference.

For the fans, we are so familiar with Rockets, mostly because Yao Ming, now although he is injured and end season, there is no influence of watching Rockets games. We are so exciting that seems we win the game! Tracy McGrady scored 30 points. Usually we feel so happy when our supporting team wins. Actually, we do not have so much relationship of them, we know the players name, height, weight, even birthday, but they do not know us so much, even our name! Is it equal? Is it fair? We do not think too much at all. This is blind or stupid, I think so. However, on the other side, they give us hope, they give us good games, and they give us fun indirectly. How can we measure these two things? We put our faith on their performance, they give us a place to release our emotions. May be as a fan I am so conscious, so I never attacked by some stars and I have no hero in mind. I admire their achievements, their contribution, their performance, whereas not all parts of them. They are also human being, the good things we should learn while the bad things we should throw away, that maybe the point of our watching sport. To give respect for something really worthing, not just follow others steps.

All In all, we should congratulations to Rockets, they really give us something to enjoy!

The title used deep water, I agree with that this is a good metaphor. Loisel is the head coach of China’s Women soccer; she was criticized so much for China’s 4-0 loss to US in the opening game of the Algarve Cup on Wednesday. This is the first Algarve Cup for Loisel as China’s coach. However, it shows she is losing her stamina in the face of intense criticism, refusing to take any responsibility for China’s loss this time. In fact, this French woman has been in hot seat since her rift with Chinese officials became public last month.

Generally speaking, China’s women’s soccer team have been the hope of Chinese soccer fans. With the time going, with the hiring foreign coach, it seems that this hope is graduating disappearing. Is this a scandal? I am not so familiar with this Loisel, what did she do lead to today’s situation? , maybe she is a victim, but now, all the things prove her inability. At least, she has failed to deal with the conflicts between Chinese officials. I think this problem possible for every foreign coach, however, not so much would like to bring it to public. Now, it is hardly for the public with justice, who is right who is wrong. The Chinese officials resigned for her late arriving daily training, Losiel laid her cards to the table and asked for replace ZhangJianqiang if CFA still wants her as a coach. In my opinion, this is not proper, this is kind of naiveté. Just for our normal person, if I hate a person, I ask him to leave, is that really a good way? How can she persuade the others to support her?

After all, Losiel’s future in China is not so bright; the performance of China Women’s really losing our heart, making fans depressed. I hope this water will be not deeper and deeper, believer it or not, in my mind, this issue shall be solved as soon as possible, else, it will make an influence on Olympic Games, which will be more serious.

It is said that because of YAO Min’s left foot injury, he will be missed the Olympics. Yao Ming, the Houston Rockets’ All-Star center, was now diagnosed with a stress fracture in his left foot which will cause the end of his NBA season. This news was broadcasted on Tuesday by his team.

As we all known, Yao Min is one of the most powerful basketball player in China, and even in NBA, it seems that only Yao can give the hope of Chinese basketball team. In my mind, he really did very great thing, and opened a new age of Chinese basketball. Actually, I like basketball very much. So I know what he really did, when I heard this kind of news again, I just feel so worried, as we can not see him in Olympics, what a pity! And I also remembered a volleyball player named-Zhao Ruirui, she is a super volleyball player, however, just because of injury, she missed Olympic Games, that will be the regret of her sports life.

For himself, this news will let him more care about his healthy, and he will feel so sorry to his fans, his team and his mother land, anyway, his health is the most important thing! For his fans, they will not see his playing in the basketball court; it is really a sad thing. For his team, a valuable player can not play in the court, it is a loss. For his motherland, the Olympic will fade, that is pretty right. How can we image how many basketball tickets will be influenced according to this news! All in all, it is a bad news!

Finally, I just give my best wished to Yao, hopefully, he will recovery quickly!
