Old Trafford

Old Trafford is the stadium from Manchester United FC, also called the Theater of Dreams, it is the second best stadium in the world. Old Trafford is located in Greater Manchester, Manchester, England. It was opened in 1910, and has been their official stadium since that year. The year 1941, the Old Trafford was bombed and Manchester City had to share their stadium with Manchester United, until 1949.

Old Trafford is by far, the largest stadium in Britain, it has a capacity 'in excess' of 76,000 people.

After the second level was finished, Manchester United placed some banners:

031 Years — Length of time since United's local rivals Manchester City had won a major trophy. Supporters placed a set of matching numbers with velcro so that the number could be updated.
One Love – Stretford End – MUFC — "One Love" title of a song by Manchester band the Stone Roses, it was played at the 1999 European Cup final, which Manchester United won.
February 6, 1958 – The Flowers of Manchester — Made to the Munich air disaster, in which eight United players died. The Flowers of Manchester is the title of a tribute song by The Spinners, who ironically hail from the city of their biggest rivals, Liverpool.

My favorite team is Manchester United. I would love to go to Old Trafford stadium. It seems that Manchester United expend a lot of money building, and rebuilding their stadium. Manchester is the best team ever(said by experts), and I would love to go to a final in the VIP room in Old Trafford. Many important players have played there, and there are still some important ones.

I Like My Blog

My blog has maked classes better. I think that making a blog makes classes funnier and cooler. I feel that my life has changed, because I never expected to make a blog for a class! In my blog I can express what I feel and make comments to my friends to talk about things we agree or disagree. With the blog and Mr. Hide, I have learned to put photos, and links to my posts, I have put even videos! It is very easy to mantain a blog, having a blogspot is not difficult to use, there people has read about the things I like.

I think that I have learned a lot about blogging, but I think there are many more things that I have to learn. Having a blog has helped me express myself and I feel comfortable of that. Making this blog has surprised me a lot, because all of the things I have learned.

Scary "Three Skeleton Key"

I liked the story of "Three Skeleton Key". It was very tricky and scary in some parts of the story, but some paragraphs got kind of boring.

I liked the part when the rats entered to the lighthouse, because it reminded me about my house in Chile. They were constructing a house for my neighbors in an empty place next to my house. It seemed that some rats lived in that grass, because they all went to my house and you could see them in many parts, it was really disgusting but very funny.

There was another sentence that said that the rats jumped to the water to get the sailors that went to the lighthouse, when I read that I felt very accelerated to know what would happen, it was very exciting. When I read that I remembered that one day in the morning I saw the pool of my house, when I saw the pool's floor, I noticed that there was something inside it. When I got closer to it, it was a rat that had sank into the water and now it was dead. When I told my mom, she told me that I had to take it out of the pool. That was horrible! Luckily, I had got a really long net so I dind't touch the rat. I wanted to throw it to my neighbors, but that would be disrespectful, so I put it inside a bag and then put it into the garbage.

In conclusion, the story is very fun. It says many things that remind me about experiences I had. Now I remember about a TV show called Tom & Jerry, it was about a cat that was always chasing the rat making traps, it is like in the story when they say that the sailors put some meat in a place to get the rats, and then they burn them with gasoline. This was a very cool story.

Matías Fernandez

Matías Fernandez was born in May 15, 1986, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the age of 5, he went to live in La Calera, Chile. There he received the nickname of "Pelusa", were he became Chilean. At the age of 17, he got a problem in his backbone that could leave him without playing soccer. But he had confidence in himself and could get well of his problem.

I think that he has been a very important person that could survive from a serious problem. He has a lot confidence and that is very surprisingly, I think that all people that have this problem could trust in themselves like Matías. What he has done, is not so expected to get well.

At the Age of 12 he went to try for playing in Colo Colo's soccer team, were he demonstrated his great capability with the ball. His debut against Universidad de Chile, in the bench. One week after, he entered to the field scoring 2 goals against Cobresal.

This player has great talent. Being a 12 year old and entering into a professional team is very difficult. His style makes him one of my favorite players. I would like to be like him, because he is so young and talented, and not every player is enters in a soccer club at a very young age. Now, Matías Fernandez has became a well known player by Europeans, he had been asked to play in Cádiz FC, Dinamo Kiev, and Villareal FC, but Matías prefered to play in Villareal, it is said that he would be taken to Spain in January 2007 where the Spanish League let clubs bring players from the outside.

Wow! This player has became the best player in the Chilean's soccer history! This is one of my favourite players. I am surprised on how he got well in a serious problem. I like the way he plays because his style has impressed me and many other people. He once scored a goal that I would like everybody in the world watch it, it is at the end of this post. I know everybody likes to see how he plays with the ball, like if he had played with it in his entire life.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo was born in 1885, in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. His complete name is Cristiano Ronaldo Aveiro dos Santos. He grew up with one brother called Hugo and two sisters, Elma and Katia. Ronaldo's name comes from the USA ex president Ronald Reagan. His favourite team was Benfica even though at the age of ten he got a contract with their rival, Sporting Lisbon.

At the age of 17 he demonstrated that he had the great ability to play on both wings. Sporting Lisbon had beaten Manchester United 3-1, and Sir Alex Ferguson(manager) had been interested on him.

After David Beckham had went to Real Madrid, it was the perfect oportunity to get Ronaldo to play for them, he was signed for £12.24 million.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been a very important player for Manchester United and for Portugal's soccer team. He is just 21 years old, and his height is 1.84 meters.

Here you can find more info about Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo is my favorite player. I like his history because he was taken to a team in a very young age. One of the reasons that I like the Manchester United's soccer team, is because he plays there. Cristiano has been a player that awakened my passion for soccer. Even though in some matches he does zero, others he becomes a hero. The best player I've ever seen is Cristiano Ronaldo even though many people thinks he is not so good.
