In the previous post, I posted the songs we played on the radio show with Ceyda, but they are not all the songs I listen to during the week, because Ceyda doesn't let me play all the songs I like. So, this is the playlist of this week:
Belle and Sebastian- Another Sunny Day
I can't decide how I feel when I listen to this song. Sometimes I feel really happy because it has a really energetic feel to it, but again in the end, it makes me kind of sad every time. No matter how it makes you feel, it's a great tune.
Smashing Pumpkins- Tonight, Tonight
One of those songs that you got to let it grow on you. You will appreciate the musical beauty of it with time.
Travis- Luv
One of Travis' better songs. It's a pure, sad love song. Especially more meaningful these days with the lines; "and distance tells you that distance must come between love"
Bonnie Tyler- It's a Heartache
I love the sound of this song.
Rehyn- Fortune's Fool
I discovered Rehyn, when I was just on iTunes randomly, but I gave it a try and I really liked how she sounds. It might be very "pop", but she has a really strong voice, and she's young. You should look into her, she has only one debut album.

Greatest of Our Time
This is our third article with Mike for The Hoya. This issue, we discussed who the greatest player of our generation is.
http://www.thehoya.com/sports/Greatest-of-Our-Time-9281015-2/
Every talented, promising young player dubbed the next Maradona, Pele or Zico when young, but only a few come close. As the Gemini duo, it is our job to debunk the impostors and discuss the true contenders for the greatest soccer player of our generation.
Ronaldo Luís Nazario de Lima, “Il Fenomeno” or “Fat Ronaldo” as he is more casually known, was one of the most talented players of this generation. He and Zinedine Zidane are the only players to win the prestigious FIFA world player of the year three times. Ronaldo’s efficiency in front of goal and ability to score no matter where he got the ball on the field made him a threat at all times, as well as enormously exciting to watch. Ronaldo always kept spectators on the edges of their seats with his scintillating runs, amazing skill and ball control. Whenever Ronaldo played, it wasn’t an issue of whether he would score, but rather when and how he would score.
Ronaldo’s efficiency in front of goal is underscored by the 62 goals he scored in 97 international appearances. His talent is evident in his wide range of admirers; he made it onto Brazilian legend Pele’s list of 100 greatest players of all time, and won the Goal.com award for player of the decade.
Ronaldinho — meaning “little Ronaldo” to distinguish him from his idol Ronaldo Rodrigues de Jesus — was by far the most exciting player to grace the soccer world in our lifetime. Ronaldinho’s career was characterized by Samba celebrations, Joga Bonito style of play and infectious enthusiasm on the field. This was indeed representative of the player who first caught the media’s attention at the age of 13, scoring all 23 goals in a 23-0 rout of a local team in Porto Alegre, Brazil. He caught the eye of the world with his brilliant display in the 2002 World Cup, where he helped Brazil dump favorites England out of the quarterfinals with a free kick from far outside the penalty box to beat David Seaman.
This two-time FIFA world player of the year won the hearts of all soccer lovers with his no-look passes, pinpoint free kicks, signature hocus-pocus skill moves and the ease with which he created confusion for opposing defenders. He was the perfect blend of a tactically disciplined midfielder who could take players on easily and could shoot from far out.
Although only 29, Iker Casillas has played more than 500 games for Real Madrid and more than 100 games for the Spanish national team, putting him on pace to become the most capped player in history for both club and country. As captain of both Real Madrid and Spain, he has won all possible trophies on both club and national level. What is more impressive is that he has been starting for Real Madrid and Spain since 2000, missing only five games in the Spanish League in the last eight seasons, winning every individual award a goalkeeper can in the process. He is definitely the goalkeeper of the decade because of his consistency and influential leadership.
Italy has always been known to produce strong defenders. Notable players include Giacinto Facchetti, Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini. However, one man’s accomplishments have overshadowed those of all other great players’: Fabio Cannavaro. The charismatic captain guided Italy to a World Cup win in 2006 and was honored with the player of the year award by both FIFA and UEFA that same year. His influence and contribution to the game is made even more significant by virtue of the fact that he is the only defender in the history of the game to win those awards. For most defenders, Cannavaro’s height (5-foot-9) would be a major disadvantage, but the Italian had the skill to overcome it with his agility, quickness and determination. He is the most capped Italian player in history and was part of one of the most famous defensive duos in modern soccer with Alessandro Nesta. With his determination, leadership and winning attitude, he will always be remembered as one of the best players of our generation, as well as one of the best defenders to have ever played the game.
Arguments can be made for many more players to be the player of our generation, but none of them have stronger basis for argument than the magnificent Zinedine Zidane. His outstanding career earned him three FIFA world player of the year awards, two World Cup finals and three Champions League finals, setting him above all other players. In the past 12 years, France has failed to win a World Cup game without Zizou, leading to group stage eliminations in 2002 and 2010. This is a clear indication that Zidane was behind France’s advance to the World Cup finals in 1998 and 2006 — he scored during both games — even helping France win in 1998. He is best known for his high soccer IQ, vision and great passing and dribbling skills. He is one of the smartest players the soccer world has ever seen, and that, combined with his determination and ambition to win, creates the best player of our generation.
Zinedine Yazid Zidane, a Marseillais of Algerian descent who also managed to change the perception of immigrants by the French people. It is a shame how the greatest player of our generation will be remembered in this country: for his infamous head-butt of Marco Materazzi in the 2006 World Cup final. No matter what others remember him for, soccer fan’s will remember the greatest player of our generation for his two headers against Brazil in the World Cup final in 1998 and his amazing volley against Leverkusen in the Champions League final in 2002.

Catfish
After hearing the hype it created the first days it was out, I decided to check it out. Everyone who has seen it was really impressed and the trailer looked sick.
It is basically a documentary about this young photographer from New York, starting a relationship with a girl who he has only seen through Facebook, and getting close to her family. But when the truth starts to come out, it is really fascinating. I did not like it as much as everyone else did because I had my expectations too high, but it was still really interesting. The influence of social media and specifically Facebook, and how dangerous it can be is successfully demonstrated. It is definitely a must-see film, the fact that it is actually real makes it cooler. I can't give much detail since it would spoil the entire movie for you. So go see it, but just don't get your hopes too high up.

Update
-Fenerbahce'de degisen birsey yok, hersey ayni, takim buyuk maclarda konsantre olup, oynamaya calisiyor, birseyler yapmaya calisiyor, ama bir ileri bir geri devam. Bu seneden umudumuzu coktan kestik zaten o yuzden pek umursamiyorum. Zaten bir Besiktas macini izlemek icin bile icimde bir heyecan duymuyorsam, o saatte maci izlemeye kalkmiyorsam ne kadar sogudugumu tahmin edebiliyorsunuzdur.
-Futbolu tek takip etme sebebim Karabukspor bu aralar. Emenike Super Lig'de de ortaligi yikacak, kasip kavuracak anlasilan. Bu takim kendi seviyesindeki takimlari, ozellikle evinde hep yener cunku hucum gucu cok yuksek, ancak savunma yapmasi gereken maclarda, Kayserispor ve Besiktas karsisinda goruldugu gibi cok aksiyor, cunku savunma cok zayif. Ancak Kasimpasa, Genclerbirligi kalitesindeki takimlari da maglup ederiz hep boyle rahatca.
- Berbatov'un golu inanilmaz bu hafta, zaten bu aralar cok formda, hat-trick hero olmus Liverpool macinda.
- Ben Affleck'li The Town'u izledim gecen gun, fena degildi, bir suc/aksiyon filmine gore basariliydi. Ondan once de Guy Pearce'li Avustralya yapimi Animal Kingdom'a gitmistim. O da fena degildi, guzeldi. Firsat bulursaniz, izleyin derim.
- Raki Night cok basariliydi bu arada, mezelerle Yesil Efe cok iyi gitti, Derin ve Artun'un odasi o kadar iyi ki bu sene daha cok yapariz bu Raki Night'lari.
- Simdi yavas yavas Portekizce'yi cozmeye basladim, Samet'in yerine geliyorum okul bitince, o zamana kadar Brezilyali kalmayacak bu gidisle ama hadi bakalim.
- Mutullah telefonlarini actiginda, bana mesaj attiginda ya da arayip sordugunda, ya da en kotu bloga birsey yazdiginda Fenerbahce de mac kazanacak galiba, hangisi daha once olacak acaba?

Playlist of the Week 5
Bright Eyes- Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh
Conor Oberst is a lyrical genius, he is definitely one of the best modern songwriters. This is one of those songs which takes you somewhere far away even the first time you listen to. You feel his pain and his emotions for Haligh throughout the song.
Saybia- The Second You Sleep
One of those songs where you can feel how the singer feels when he sings it. So emotional and sad, makes you want to pour a glass of whiskey and just drink up when the vocal screams "I stay to watch you fade away".
Badly Drawn Boy- A Minor Incident
A simple, cute, love song.
Jason Mraz- Plane
I can't believe I haven't discovered this song earlier. I have been listening to it a lot since I discovered and it's a depressing, poetic song combined with Jason Mraz's great singing voice and style.
Pernice Brothers- Chicken Wire
Pernice Brothers is a little known, good band who created this sad ballad is worth listening to.

Joga Bonito: The Beautiful Game Needs a Makeover
Second article on The Hoya:
http://www.thehoya.com/sports/Joga-Bonito-The-Beautiful-Game-Needs-a-Makeover-9171025/
You can have the top stars to bring the attention. You can have the best stadium. You can have the best facilities. You can have the most beautiful project in terms of marketing and all this kind of thing. But if you don’t win ... All the work these people are doing is forgotten.”
Real Madrid Coach Jose Mourinho’s philosophy of the game is representative of the movement in soccer from ideal and attractive play (joga bonito, or beautiful game), to a more realistic approach that prioritizes winning by defending.
His philosophy was especially evident in the extremely boring Champions League quarterfinal in which Inter Milan packed all their players in their half and defended desperately against waves of Barcelona attacks until they won.
Other successful teams such as Chelsea, Spain and Arsenal are proud proponents of the joga bonito. These teams focus not so much on defending as box-to-box midfielders and wingers who can switch the play from attack to defense and are good with long-range shots in a 4-5-1 formation. This scheme also allows for the striker, usually employed alone up front, to swap with the midfielders directly behind him and thus create a more dynamic flow of attack.
Current World Cup champion Spain successfully utilized this style of play and essentially defended their way into the finals, combining their best attributes of resolute defending, a slick passing midfield and the clinical finishing of David Villa.
This style of play is efficient and realistic, but from the spectators’ standpoint the lack of scoring makes the game less interesting to watch. In order to adapt to the changing styles and dynamics of soccer, certain rules could be revised to make the game more modern and appealing.
It’s a big concern for soccer fans to see the beautiful game taking a turn for the worse. So, as the Gemini duo, we have ideas for changing some rules in order to make sure the best soccer starts to win again.
To ensure that the game is fast-paced and flowing, the primary aim should be to increase the time the ball is in play. That can be achieved through changes in the offside and the foul rules, eliminating the unnecessary and excessive stoppage time to the game.
These changes will also favor teams who want to play quality, attractive soccer and are intended to increase the number of scoring chances to create a more exciting 90 minutes.
Although we believe that the offside rule is an essential part of the game, some changes to this rule could be implemented. For instance, eliminating the offside rule for passes from one’s own half would result in a faster game. Such a scenario would require that when an attacking player receives the ball behind the defensive line in a pass from his own half, offside should not be called. This will encourage teams to employ long passes and thereby have more attacking players up front. Also, the elimination of the offside rule when the ball is passed with one’s head would result in fewer offside calls, more in-play time and more goals without changing the nature of the game.
To minimize games in which teams only defend in an attempt to earn a draw — the aforementioned Barca-Inter matchup comes to mind — a rule should be set up to ensure that both teams have at least one player on the opposing half of the field at all times. This way, we would not allow all 11 players to be on their own half defending the goal. This would tremendously increase the chances of having more goals in a game.
With the new dynamics and playing style of recent years, we have also begun to see a substantial increase in the number of fouls committed in each game. Watching the Netherlands commit 28 fouls in the World Cup final against Spain brought about the realization that the rules need to be amended. Although soccer is a physical sport, fouling in order to slow down and stop the game takes away from the flow and pace of the sport. The remedy for this is the rule of an automatic yellow card after a team’s 10th foul. So, every player committing a foul after the team’s 10th foul would receive an automatic yellow card regardless of the what foul is. This would prevent games like the World Cup final, which was criticized for being boring due to the number of stops and fouls.

Dayanamiyorum
Yazmayayim artik umurumda degil zaten falan diyorum ancak dayanamiyorum, hayatimiz artik ister istemez Fenerbahce ve futbol olmus, ister istemez dusunuyoruz, dert ediyoruz. Ne kadar "ne halleri varsa gorsunler" diye dusunsek de Fenerbahce ile dogdum, buyudum, oyle bir bag ile baglanmisim ki ayrilmak, kopmak cok zormus bunu anladim, kilometrelerce otede olsam bile.
Yanlis anlasilmasin hala eski heyecanimin, tutkumun yuzde biri yok, onlarin nedenlerini onceden cok yazdim, tekrarlamaya gerek yok, ancak bir tek adamin sadece beni degil herkesi, butun Fenerbahce taraftarini bu kadar takimindan sogutmasi gercekten cok uzucu. Kimsenin umudu yok, kimse mac izlemiyor, tepki vermiyor, Besiktas derbisi var onun icin bile heyecanlanmiyor. Koskoca Fenerbahce'mizin bu halde olmasi gercekten cok uzuyor beni.
Onun icin dayanamiyorum, bazi seyleri cok merak ediyorum ve sormadan edemiyorum:
1- Kayseri deplasmanina 18 kisilik kadroya nasil yedek stoper almadan gidilir? Zaten uzun zamandir top oynamamis Yobo'ya guvenilip nasil Ilhan, Bekir, Bilica'dan biri bile yedege alinmaz?
2- Her mac yaptigi pisliklere, cirkefliklere devam ettigi halde bu takimda kaptanlik pazubandini nasil Emre'ye verilir? Topu yerde yatan rakibinin ustune vurmak disinda bir aksiyonu olmayan cirkefligi had safhadaki Emre nasil bu kadar el ustunde tutulur?
3- Su takimda yatarak para kazanan Guiza ve Kazim gibi isimler neden hala takimda tutulur?
4- Bence Turkiye'nin acik ara en iyi, en kaliteli ve en derin kadrosuna sahip Fenerbahce nasil bu kadar kotu ve vasifsiz oynayabilir? Yillardir ftubol izliyorum ancak kalitesiyle bu kadar ters orantili oynayan bir takim ben gormedim. Malesef kabak Aykut Kocaman'imizin basina patlayacak onu biliyoruz da ancak her sene takimin bu sorumsuzlugunun asil sorumlulari ne zaman gorulecek?
5- Bu Alex problemi nereden cikti? Birileri Alex'i oynatin mi diyor ne oluyor, her mac oynatip 45'te cikaracaksan hic oynatma. Yani bu takimda Alex'in gorevi nedir, Alex'ten ne bekleniyor? Bu takimin bir sistemi var mi? Bu takim sunu sunu yapmaya calisiyor diyebilecek, bana anlatabilecek biri var mi?
6- Besiktas macini da kaybedersek neler olur? Aykut Kocaman kesin gider de Aziz Yildirim'in ne kadar suresi kalir? Bu taraftar hala o stadi istifa sesleriyle inletmek icin ne kadar bekler?
7- Sportif Direktorluk gorevine ne oldu? Kim ne zaman aciklayacak o koltugun yaratilma sebebinin Aykut Kocaman'i gorevin basina getirmek oldugunu?
8- Ve son olarak Aziz Baskan, bu takim ne zaman yuruye yuruye sampiyon olacak? Sahada yurudugumuz dogru da sampiyonluk icin baska bir sey yaptigimiz soylenemez.
Yanlis anlasilmasin hala eski heyecanimin, tutkumun yuzde biri yok, onlarin nedenlerini onceden cok yazdim, tekrarlamaya gerek yok, ancak bir tek adamin sadece beni degil herkesi, butun Fenerbahce taraftarini bu kadar takimindan sogutmasi gercekten cok uzucu. Kimsenin umudu yok, kimse mac izlemiyor, tepki vermiyor, Besiktas derbisi var onun icin bile heyecanlanmiyor. Koskoca Fenerbahce'mizin bu halde olmasi gercekten cok uzuyor beni.
Onun icin dayanamiyorum, bazi seyleri cok merak ediyorum ve sormadan edemiyorum:
1- Kayseri deplasmanina 18 kisilik kadroya nasil yedek stoper almadan gidilir? Zaten uzun zamandir top oynamamis Yobo'ya guvenilip nasil Ilhan, Bekir, Bilica'dan biri bile yedege alinmaz?
2- Her mac yaptigi pisliklere, cirkefliklere devam ettigi halde bu takimda kaptanlik pazubandini nasil Emre'ye verilir? Topu yerde yatan rakibinin ustune vurmak disinda bir aksiyonu olmayan cirkefligi had safhadaki Emre nasil bu kadar el ustunde tutulur?
3- Su takimda yatarak para kazanan Guiza ve Kazim gibi isimler neden hala takimda tutulur?
4- Bence Turkiye'nin acik ara en iyi, en kaliteli ve en derin kadrosuna sahip Fenerbahce nasil bu kadar kotu ve vasifsiz oynayabilir? Yillardir ftubol izliyorum ancak kalitesiyle bu kadar ters orantili oynayan bir takim ben gormedim. Malesef kabak Aykut Kocaman'imizin basina patlayacak onu biliyoruz da ancak her sene takimin bu sorumsuzlugunun asil sorumlulari ne zaman gorulecek?
5- Bu Alex problemi nereden cikti? Birileri Alex'i oynatin mi diyor ne oluyor, her mac oynatip 45'te cikaracaksan hic oynatma. Yani bu takimda Alex'in gorevi nedir, Alex'ten ne bekleniyor? Bu takimin bir sistemi var mi? Bu takim sunu sunu yapmaya calisiyor diyebilecek, bana anlatabilecek biri var mi?
6- Besiktas macini da kaybedersek neler olur? Aykut Kocaman kesin gider de Aziz Yildirim'in ne kadar suresi kalir? Bu taraftar hala o stadi istifa sesleriyle inletmek icin ne kadar bekler?
7- Sportif Direktorluk gorevine ne oldu? Kim ne zaman aciklayacak o koltugun yaratilma sebebinin Aykut Kocaman'i gorevin basina getirmek oldugunu?
8- Ve son olarak Aziz Baskan, bu takim ne zaman yuruye yuruye sampiyon olacak? Sahada yurudugumuz dogru da sampiyonluk icin baska bir sey yaptigimiz soylenemez.

Yazik Gunah
Tamam cok iyi oynadilar, savastilar, cok hirsliydilar, ovguyu hakettiler tamam da, kisi basi 1,5 milyon TL prim ne demek ya? Bazilari hangi ulkede oldugumuzu unutuyor galiba. Sonucta bu oyuncularin isi, gorevi bu, zaten bu isten ekmek kazaniyorlar, ve milli formalariyla bir turnuvada sampiyonluk mucadelesi vermeleri 1,5 milyon TL edemez, etmemeli.
Ben de onlarla cok gurur duydum, sevindim, ama bu ulke issizlikten kirilirken, her gun askerlerimiz sehit duserken, bu ekonomik sartlarda, bu sporculara 1,5 milyon TL prim vermek yaziktir, gunahtir. Bu ulkeye hayati boyunca bu oyunculardan cok daha fazla katkisi bulunan insanlar hayatlari boyunca bu paralari goremezken, bir ayda uc dort tane yenmeleri gereken takimi yendikleri icin, yani gorevlerini yaptiklari icin bu parayi kazanan insanlari gormek gercekten cok icimi acitiyor.
Hayat
Olum bazen bir anda, hic beklemediginiz bir sekilde geliyor iste boyle. Sonra yasadigimiz hayati sorgulamaya basliyor insan, her seyden sogumaya basliyor birden. 42 yasinda, hayati boyunca spor yapmis, sigarasi olmayan saglikli, sporcu adam, en basit bir duz kosu sirasinda yere yigilip kalabiliyor boyle. Sonra geriye gozu yasli bir es, ve ufak bir kiz cocugu birakiyor, biz de hayatta en ufak, en salak seyleri dert ediyoruz.
Ates gercekten de dustugu yeri yakiyor, su an Esat Karaberberoglu'nun ailesinin cektiklerini, iclerinden gecenlerini dusunemiyorum bile, en cok uzuldugum de onlarin durumu su an.
Iste insanlar boyle hic beklemezken, aniden gidiveriyor bu dunyadan. Hayatimiz boyle pamuk ipligine bagliyken, her seyi dert etmeye, bir birimizi kirmaya deger mi, bunu dusunmek lazim. Hayat ufak dertler, kavgalar icin gercekten cok kisa, boyle haberler duydugumuzda bunu daha da iyi anliyorum.
Tanidigim kadariyla gercekten cok iyi bir insandi Esat Hoca, ailesinin basi sagolsun, Allah rahmet eylesin.

Playlist of the Week 4
Fiona Apple- Across the Universe
I'm not usually a big fan of covers, but I believe that the Fiona Apple version of the song is so much better than the Beatles version. Such a great song by the Beatles, beautifully covered by Fiona Apple.
Tea Party- Heaven Coming Down
Although it is a pretty old song, I recently discovered it and I have been singing it all the time for the past week, listen to it when it feels like "heaven's coming down".
Queen- Love of My Life
I'm not a big Queen fan, but I just love this song, it's so simple, and it just hurts you when you listen to it. It never gets old and you can listen to it over and over again and you would still get the same feelings as you did the first time you listened to it.
Three Doors Down- Let Me Be Myself
I know there are a lot of people who feel like Three Doors Down in this song. Sometimes when you are with someone, you just can't be yourself, and in this song, we listen to the desire to be himself again and "take back all these times he gave into her".
The Everybodyfields- Lonley Anywhere
I don't know any other song from The Everybodyfields but this song definitely needs to be heard.

Icimiz Yaniyor Stad Yansa Ne Olur
Yine uzun uzun nefret kusan, sitemli, cok sinirli bir yazi yazacaktim, ve bir kac defa basladim, sonra sildim, cunku hic bir yazi, hic bir cumle su an hissettiklerimi ifade edemeyecek. Gercekten koskoca Fenerbahce'ye goz gore gore yazik ediliyor, taraftarin paralari cope atiliyor, taraftar kandiriliyor, cumle aleme rezil ediliyor, ve herkes de bunu izliyor. Artik uzun yazi yazacak "YETER ULAN" diye bagiracak gucum bile kalmadi. Lutfen, bu rezillikte emegi olan herkes, basta Aziz Yildirim, hepiniz bu kulupten defolun gidin!

UEFA Champions League 2010-2011 Preview by Michael Appau and Cem Yolbulan
As I said before, me and Mike are writing a column in the school newspaper, The Hoya, and this is this week's article that was published in the newspaper this week. The first four groups' analysis was done by Mike and I took over from Group E to H.
This is the link to our article:
http://www.thehoya.com/sports/Champions-League-Preview-931025/
The Special One, Jose Mourinho, declared that only Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter, AC Milan, Chelsea, Manchester United and Bayern Munich have a chance of winning the Champions League, but here is a preview of all the groups to help you decide for yourself and note the games that can’t be missed. The top two teams proceed to the knockout stage, while the third spot continues its European adventure in the UEFA Europa League.
Group A: Internazionale — Werder Bremen — Tottenham Hotspur — FC Twente... Last year’s title holder Inter has a lot to prove under new coach Rafa Benitez and will certainly have a very difficult time retaining the title, especially with a very energetic and ambitious Tottenham side. Look for them to be a surprise team that will go far in this tournament. Tab Tottenham to win the group, with Bremen and Inter vying for second and third place, respectively. Expect Dutch champions Twente to finish in fourth.
Group B: Olympique Lyonnais — Benfica — FC Schalke 04 — Hapoel Tel Aviv... This year’s competition is another great chance to witness the acrobatics of Lyon’s Hugo Lloris, who single-handedly carried the team in last season’s tournament. The acquisition of Yoann Gourcuff should bolster the team, but there will be competition for the group leaders from Portuguese champions Benfica, led by Argentine goal poacher Saviola and fellow striker and World Cup standout Oscar Cardozo. Also, Bundesliga runner-up Schalke will compete for the top spot, headlined by perennial Champions League goal scorer Raul. Hapoel Tel Aviv would like to impress in their Champions League debut, but their lack of experience will be their undoing.
Group C: Manchester United — Valencia — Rangers — Bursaspor... This group should be the most exciting group of the tournament with United’s history of underperforming against inferior competition (Bursaspor) and Scottish teams. Valencia has been significantly weakened by the departure of David Villa and David Silva and will struggle to claim a third spot behind either Rangers or Bursaspor. The real competition for the top spot will be between Man U and Rangers. This could be managers Sir Alex Ferguson and Walter Smith’s final showdown before either of the two close friends retire. Even more incendiary is Bursaspor’s green and white hoops away jerseys, which they plan to wear away against Rangers.
Group D: Barcelona — Panathinaikos — FC København — FC Rubin Kazan… Barcelona has always been the team to beat, and this season is no different, as the Spanish champions have further strengthened their squad with the acquisitions of David Villa and Javier Mascherano. Barca should, however, be cautious against lowly Rubin Kazan, who clipped them last year. Barring any surprising runs from the Russian champions, Barcelona will top the group and qualify, with the Greek champions Panathinaikos finishing in second.
Group E: Bayern Munich — AS Roma — FC Basel — CFR Cluj… This should be an easy draw for Bayern and Roma as they will not struggle to take the first two spots. The Swiss and Romanian champions will fight for the third spot to continue in the Europa Cup, but with more experience and quality, FC Basel definitely has the edge over Cluj. Cluj will look for a shocking home win or a couple of points in this group, and they will most likely do it against Basel at home. Regardless, Roma and Bayern should have easy paths to the knockout stage.
Group F: Chelsea — Olympique de Marseille — Spartak Moscow — MSK Zilina… Chelsea and Marseille supporters are probably happy after this draw. Spartak will be tough to beat, especially when they are playing at home in the cold weather, and on an icy, artificial pitch. However, they are not strong enough to challenge English and French giants on their way to the next round. Slovakian debutants Zilina will just be happy to feel the Champions League atmosphere.
Group G: AC Milan — Real Madrid — Ajax Amsterdam — AJ Auxerre… Probably the toughest group in this draw, we expect to watch the best soccer in this group stage. Get ready for some attractive soccer. Ajax’s games will be especially fun to watch. Auxerre of France is a tough team even though they enter with a low seed, so it makes this group even more competitive. Real Madrid should win the group, followed by Milan with Ajax winning the Europa League spot.
Group H: Arsenal — FC Shakhtar Donetsk — SC Braga — Partizan Belgrade… Despite their decline during the past couple of years, English powerhouse Arsenal should be more than happy after this draw given the weak competition. The team’s decision to keep its superstar captain Cesc Fabregas sets them up for the tournament even better. After Arsenal, Shakhtar Donetsk has an advantage for the second spot, as they have more European experience and can rely on their notorious home field advantage. Braga, who shocked the European soccer world by eliminating Sevilla in the qualification round, is most likely to take the third spot over the young and inexperienced Partizan squad.

FIBA World Basketball Championship
I know Americans don't care about it as much as the rest of the world does, especially Turkey since we are the host country, World Basketball Championship is still a big deal. Team USA not winning since 1994 and now competing with a B-Team, NBA superstars like Pau Gasol, Nowitzki, Tony Parker and Ginobili sitting out make the competition less attractive and popular, but there is still a really high quality basketball playing in the tournament to say the least. We saw some incredible second round games so far, a surprising and unlucky Greece-Spain matchup in the second round caused my favorites Greece to get eliminated early in the campaign.
Team USA is looking great, having won all six games so far in double digits. Turkey is also looking amazing, destroying France in the second round. A Turkey-USA final would be really fun and exciting to watch, and I think we can make it that far too. We play so well, we work hard, hustle and play good basketball. My only concern is our coach Bogdan Tanjevic and his lack of any understanding of rotation in a basketball team. I'm afraid Ersan Ilyasova and Hedo Turkoglu are going to wear out further into the tournament because of this. And now we have a really hard path to the finals, Slovenia and Spain who are I'm afraid to say it but better basketball teams then we are. But with our home court advantage and the momentum we have now, we are the favorites for both matchups.
Although it hasn't been a flashy tournament with the lack of stars playing in it, it still has been really exciting, especially for us Turks and I hope it ends well too.

Saybia
I don't know remember who told me about or where I read about them but I'm so happy I discovered an amazing band like Saybia. They are a Danish band formed in 1993, so I'm surprised I haven't discovered a band of this quality until last week. I have been listening to them constantly for the past week. They have great sad songs as well as amazing love songs. Just give them a try and listen to songs like Angel, The Day After Tomorrow, The Second You Sleep, Untitled, and my personal favorite I Surrender. Now I'm going to leave you with I Surrender from Saybia.
Playlist of the Week 3
Radiohead- Black Star
This is such a simple, sincere, love song. Radiohead is a great band.
Aerosmith- I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing
This is one of the greatest love songs ever written. Every single line in this song is just amazing and brilliant. A classic.
Robin Thicke- I'm Not Loving You
An amazing song when you are far away from someone you really love. "And I wish I was there, Just to run my hands through your hair" sums up how I feel constanly.
Keane- Somewhere Only We Know
Keane is one of the most underrated bands of our time. They are really good and they have amazing songs like this one.
Mumford & Sons- Awake My Soul
This week's band I want to introduce you to is Mumford & Sons. They are from England like all the greatest bands, they do indie rock, folk rock and they are newly formed; in 2007. I expect them to be big in the future, start listening to them by Awake my Soul, but Little Lion Man and The Cave are definitely worth listening to as well.
Enjoy...

Birileri bizle tasak geciyor galiba, lan Avrupa'da yoksun, iki kiytirik takima elenmissin, rezil olmussun, ligde sezonun ilk maci 66 TL bilet mi olur? Sizin bu ulkenin sartlarindan, insanlarin ekonomik durumundan haberiniz yok mu kardesim? Turkiye gibi ulkede en ucuz yerden bilet 66 TL olabilir mi? Ama yok bunu goren millet kombine alsin diye sacma sapan isler iste. Sonra ilk maglubiyette yuhalarlar tabiki takimi, sizi de o stadi doldurdugunuz musteriler indirecek koltugunuzdan da o gunu dort gozle bekliyorum iste...
