As i had mentioned in my previous post , last weekend was the IPL super weekend, but it wasn't super to me by any means. I had canceled all plans to watch the Superkings play , but it was such a worst experience. It was Saturday , i was all set and ready to watch the semi final match against Royal Challengers. Even though Kumble's team was on a winning streak , i knew the match was in chennai's hands. There was no way the bangalore royal challengers could defeat the superkings unless the superkings played poorly. But that is exactly what CSK did. I along with my frnds had a gone to a place nearby whr they showed the matches on 70mm screen and the atmosphere there was electric. I just loved that place , but what good is all that when ur team plays poor cricket and loses so badly. Dhoni played so poorly and his team selection was even worse. I just couldn't get out of the disappointment for 3 full days. I just kept swearing at dhoni and gony with all those bad words i know for the 3 days. It was so heart breaking and i couldn't get out this sombre mood.
Then yesterday nite , it was the mother of all football matches , Barca vs Man U in d champions league final. 2 great champions facing off in the ultimate battle, and this match got my spirits going , both teams were in stupendous form and this match was titled as the clash of the titans. I decided to watch this match at sasi's house so that i could have company while watching . We both were avid Man U fans and we were so eager for the match to start. But there was a small problem , sasi's dish tv had developed a glitch and it wasn't able to broadcast a select few channels and fate it was , that Ten Sports was among them. With all the build up to this match , we desperately didn't want to miss it and so we called up tushar and asked him to bring his set top box . And he came at midnite , and the match started at 12:15 IST. We were all all so glued to the TV for the next 2 hours. Man U , just like what superkings did 3 days before played poorly. Except for the first 10 mins , they just weren't on the field. It was Barcelona all the way , they were a class apart sterday nite and Messi proved he is indeed the best player in the world. Man U lost 2 - 0 , it wud have been much worse if not for Van Der Saar. Man U were truly humbled by the brilliant Barca , Sir Alex could do nothing but watch his team lose. It was another heart breaking nite for me , lightning had struck twice in 4 days and it destroyed all the spirits that i had before the match.
2 great teams , 2 poor performances and one broken heart. That sums up my mood this week :(
