Training Day...not in LA, in Porto
Posted 30-07-2009 at 02:22 AM by Cheeky Hobbit
My friend in America said Training Day was on AMC. Luckily, my friend had it here at home and so we decided to sit down and watch it. Amazing. No wonder Denzel has so many oscars. Interested to see a Portuguese version of it, maybe Denzel could learn the language,
Nah, thats me just being super lame.
Things are still going great here, I'm already getting a huge portfolio of photos already, got to visit the Dragao a couple of times as well. And trained with the guys. Actually we conditoned and I haven't done that in a while. So, I was about hurl my lunch on the pitch when we were done. Yeah, pretty bad.
Once we got all settled we had a little game, unfortunatly a ball got volleyed in the side of my head and left ear was burning. Literally, it felt like it was on fire. It ended up being 4-4, we we're down by 3, I ended up getting the equalizer, they got a penalty, and I ended up doing some wierd bicycle kick to tie it all up. I landed hard and stayed on the ground.
Penalties!
I have a thing for penalties if you can tell. I have a techinque and everything, no, nothing like Simao we're you stutter a little and then pluck it home. I was first to go, (again) I'm already getting street cred for my penalty taking. Tucked in the top left cornor. Goalkeeper even guesed the right way.Anyways, it ended going into sudden death and our stepped up and hit the post.
We all bought a round of drinks to drain out sorrow. Me and my girlfriend plan on going to the beach soon, just me and her. So I'll get a chance to rest my tired legs and watch the sun set. Quite peaceful.
Cheers! Next blog soon I hope.

I'm guessing where you said trained with the guys you didn't mean the Porto players?
Nice bicycle kick as well by the sounds of it
Off round Scandinavia myself a week on Saturday for a couple of weeks. Maybe I should blog on some of it

Ah, sorry about my late reply. And Porto player's? Nah, their just on a local little club.Most of the guys are older, explains why I'm so acrobatic and their not.
My back still aches a little from that bicycle kick, I need to practice my landing.
Scandinavia? Hm. Defiantly blog it, I'll be sure to read it.
