One of my favorite things about the summer time besides the endless amount of sunlight, girls in sundress, shorts (or short pants, for you Texans), and spontaneous day long adventures...is SPORTS!!! During the summer time you get bombarded with sporting events to watch through May-July. What a way to live!!
2008 was one of the best summers of sports that I have ever come across. Nadal had his best season crushing Federer in straight sets to capture his fourth French Open Title. If that wasn't enough for the Mallorca native, Nadal parlayed his French Open win with a Wimbledon victory over Federer, all while capturing the Number One ranking.
In the world of soccer, Euro Cup 2008 was spectacular!! The unlikely star of the tournament, TURKEY, came out and represented their country to the fullest. The trailed the Czech Republic 2-0, and in last minute heroic scored 3 goals in injury time. Continuing their do or die attitude, scored a 90th minute equalizer against Croatia to bring them into penalties, which the later advanced. However, all good things come to an end when they fell short to Germany in the Semi-Finals. Spain ultimately won Euro Cup 2008 in typical fashion with their finesse passing game and advancing through balls. It was a great year for Spain!!
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!! THE OLYMPICS!!!! The single most unifying sporting event came to elevate humanity out of slums of mediocrity.
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!! Even though it happens every year, Kevin Garnett, The Big Ticket himself...FINALLY WON AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP with the CELTICS!!!
Now in 2010, Nadal is in near perfect form winning his 5th French Open title without dropping a set. Moreover, Nadal swept the clay court series winning in Monte-Carlo, Rome, Madrid, and Paris!!! Accomplishing this feat while only dropping 2 sets is nothing less the magical.
The highlight of the summer will be WORLD CUP 2010!!!! So far Spain (2) has failed to convert on any of their attempts and must win the next 2 matches to even advance out of the group. DAMN SWISS!!! I'm to angry to discuss this...THE END!!!
