Only caught the second half but it looked like a great game, Drogba looks like he's settled in already and Moreno looks like a fantastic signing.
hunan won 3-0 over it's opponent. it seems shen xiangfu is doing a good job reviving the team. even zhao peng scored a goal.. shandong luneng 1-1 jonoon. and hey, it seems luneng's wang yongpo been one of the best players lately. scoring five goals in ten matches. here's a video of his free kick: http://video.sina.com.cn/p/sports/j/v/2012-07-28/201261812839.html the commentator needs to know how to pronounce "goal" instead of BU BU BU BU BUUU lol.
beijing guoan 1-0 dalian shide. xu liang scored a 60-yard touchline goal to bring a much-needed win for beijing guoan. http://video.sina.com.cn/p/sports/j/v/2012-08-04/215761825433.html absolutely stunning.
shanghai shenhua 5-1 hangzhou greentown. drogba scored his debut goal and second goal to crash greentown. 自拍狂石柯(the greentown defender) said before the match, he studied videos of drogba to see how to defend him. i guess the video wasn't 1080p. full video: http://video.sina.com.cn/p/sports/j/v/2012-08-04/222861825469.html
guizhou renhe 2-1 guangzhou evergrande. tang dechao, the evergrande defender, made a major mistake that lead to renhe's winning goal. muriqui also scored for evergrande, but his goal was incorrectly judged as offside. http://video.sina.com.cn/p/sports/j/v/2012-08-04/220161825435.html
Wow that is nice. Do you know where I can download the video file for this clip? I want it on my computer.
haha i was about to ask you that too! i remember you were able to convert the sina-video to youtube-type! (i guess that wasn't you then )
http://www.xmlbar.net/soft.php?type=sina&lang=English but i am not sure if that could convert to youtube format for uploading.
i realize "myrioter" from youtube often uploads CSL highlights good for those people who hate sina video like me. http://www.youtube.com/user/myrioter?feature=plcp
Some odd refereeing in this game, which might be normal considering it was against the top two teams. The Evergrande player should have been sent off for the karate kick to the face of the Guizhou player and then the Evergrande player looked clearly onside in the 79th minute, but was called offside. I guess things evened out in the end.
Subside Sports is now selling CSL shirts. I guess the league is getting "popular" now. I'm not getting paid.
Off topic but i don´t think this deserves a new thread. Was at the game yesterday United vs Barcelona, kinda dull game but still impressive that 2 of the worlds biggest clubs decided to play here in my hometown. I took a few pics and vids but despite sitting quite close to the pitch they didn´t turn out too good because Iphone´s zoom sucks. Nice gesture by Swedish legend Henrik Larsson to visit and hand out the trophys at the end (I have no idea why they handed out trophies for this meaningless game, seemed like a desperate move by Sweden to make it seem bigger than it actually was... just a friendly but they had a helicopter land on the pitch with the trophies just before kick off and ended with a ceremony and fireworks after the game)
meaningless or not, it would be a great opportunities for the local sweden players to see higher standard of football. let's relate this to china, eventhough some strong teams would play $$ friendlies against chinese team, it still tells chinese players they got a huge ass mountain to climb to meet world quality standard.
Watching the Guizhou game right now...Kind of shocking that Guizhou didn't pack in the fans for this game considering they are near the top and they just came off a huge win over Guangzhou. Is there really that much to do on a Friday night in Guizhou?
