Today is the day that we find out whether Chelsea will move ahead and spring towards winning the Premier League Championship. Chelsea will play Bolton today and I have faith they will win, however the team’s arch rival Manchester United, who is number one in the league, plays against Wigan, a team who has won their past 5 games.
Because of the point differential, if ManU wins today they win the league. We need ManU to lose against Wigan, while Chelsea needs 3 goals to tie, and for every goal ManU scores, Chelsea will need another. These will be nail-bitting games, with both being played at the same time 10AM today, so that no one knows who won the league before their match.
I became a fan is Chelsea through my ex-boyfriend and good friend who is so enamored with the team, I couldn’t help but loving them too. Sure, I know more about Brazilian football, and I’m a “Flamegista” being from Rio de Janeiro, but I love the sport so it’s natural for me to be a fan of other teams. In 2006, the ex and I took a trip to Germany for the World Cup and got tickets to the Serbia Montenegro vs. Ivory Coast match. Didier Drogba one of the best players in the Chelsea team, and one I was very much looking forward to watch do his magic live, was expelled from playing the match due to two yellow cards in the previous game. I was bummed, but the game was amazing, with Ivory Coast winning in the end.
Today’s matches will be tough. Wayne Rooney who apparently suffered a Hernia, will be back for today’s game against Wigan and he’s one to watch. But I have no doubt that Chelsea will win their game, though they validate Bolton’s strength and ability to position themselves with the best of the best.
For two hours in this Sunday morning, Irish pubs will be filled with adorning fans, wearing their team’s jersey, sipping on large amounts of beer, and stuffing their bellies with Traditional Irish Breakfast, filled with emotion and cheer, and I hoping Player of the Year, Joe Cole will turn it on and lead Chelsea to a high point score game. My favorite player and captain John Terry, who has been with the club since the age of 14, has become an adored player in the hearts of many due to his charisma and ability to lead his team. With incredible players such as Claude Makelele, Frank “Super Frank” Lampard, Joe Cole, Didier Drogba, Shaun Wright-Phill, John Terry, and goaley Petr Chch, I’m very excited to watch this team do what they do best, and play some mean football.
I’ll be at Waxy’s. See Ya!! GOOOOO CHELSEA!!!!!!!
