Being an athlete requires a lot of discipline. There are habits that they need to give up, especially the serious ones. Drinking, cigarette smoking or not getting enough sleep are just some of the things that need to be stopped. Some athletes replace the habits with alternative things like e-cigarettes. For drinking, others schedule lesser parties and time with drinking buddies. This is important for athletes especially the professionals.

I’m sorry but this is not a news blog on football. This blog does not claim to have the latest news, highlights and on-time reports. I blog about football matches for fun and according to my time availability. I do not even claim to write so fast – maybe just faster than a child can define life insurance.

One thing is for sure, all the things that I blog here are true, whether it is about the English Premier League, Italian Serie A, the Champions League, the 2010 World Cup in South Africa or just the local football scene here in our country.

Hull City showed a manful performance to hold Chelsea to a surprise draw as the title hopefuls missed the chance to increase their league lead to four points.

The Londoners were lacklustre to say the least, but that was down in no small part to Hull's brave approach. And it was Hull who took the lead when Steven Mouyokolo headed home in the 30th minute.

Didier Drogba marked his return from Africa Cup of Nations duty with the equaliser from a free-kick 12 minutes later, but Hull comfortably held on to a precious draw.

Last Saturday, on my way to the football tournament at Marikina Sports Park, I noticed car that looked so elegant. The logo of the car was not familiar and as I did some research in the internet I found out that it was a Cool Bear fro Great Wall Motors Philippines. Last year, this company opened two showrooms in Metro Manila and introduced six vehicles.

Great Wall Motors Philippines introduced the Peri which is sized like an econo-car but carries a 1.3-liter engine, the Florid which also carries a 1.3-liter engine but has a bigger body, the Wingle which is a pick-up truck that has a 2.8-liter CRDI turbo charged diesel engine, the Hover which is a CUV which also has a 2.8-liter CRDI turbo charge diesel engine, the Cowry which is a van that has a 2.0-liter 4G63 MIVEC, SOHC engine and the Cool Bear, the one that I saw, which has a 1.5-liter DOHC, 16V with VVT, gasoline engine.

I learned that all their vehicles engines are already EURO 4 compliant (gasoline engines) and EURO 3 compliant (diesel engines), has ABS and EBD and dual front air bags. I saw the pictures of the cars in this blog and am planning to test drive a vehicle and get a quote for the car which also includes an auto insurance quote. I am excited to visit a Great Wall Motors Philippines showroom.

It was a match between Fleetwood Town and Farsley Celtic and Jamie Milligan sent a goal in from the halfway line. I haven't seen a lot of videos like this one. The only video I had similar to this was the one where David Beckham scored a goal from the halfline for Manchester United early in his career. Below is the video of the goal from the half line.

Taking drugs that enhance performance in sports is a no-no in fair competition. Many of these drugs can also have bad side effects and can be addictive. Coaches, the drug board and sports bodies discourage the use of such substances to promote fair competition and at the same time to protect the welfare of the athletes. Those who become addicted would need to undergo drug rehab treatments and lose their way in their sporting career.

It has been months since I attended training in our football club and this Saturday, we will be playing in a tournament. I have had only two weeks preparation but haven’t met my fitness goals. I have gained some weight since I stopped playing football and I may just need the best best fat burner. I just hope I won’t embarrass myself on Saturday.

This Saturday, we will be joining a one day - tournament at the Marikina Sports Park where 8 football clubs around NCR will be playing against each other. Many of the clubs that will participate are alumni clubs of private schools.

We are expecting that many of them are still in shape and have no use for wrinkle creams even though they are alumni clubs. I am looking forward to playing for our club, Marikina United FC and I hope we have fun and if there is a chance, win.

Football players who are not in shape need to lose weight fast or they would not be able to play so well and keep up with those who are have trained well. This is what I need to do this next week as our team Marikina United FC will be joining a tournament on January 23, 2010 at the Marikina Sports Park. I hope I make it to the line up.

With the 2010 World Cup in South Africa just a few months away, I’m sure that the need for employment or the demand for the increase in the number of workforce have increased, too because of the many preparations needed for this once-every-four-years event.

I myself am preparing this site for delivering the 2010 World Cup finals live stream. Football players from the different countries who will be part of the World Cup are also keeping themselves match fit to get the chance to be chosen in their teams and play the highest level of football.

I just hope that when these players play, that I would be able to watch them through live stream video on the matches played in the South Africa 2010 World Cup.
