Ecuador in Germany, an uncertain future.

Last game between Ecuador and Macedonian, raised a lot of doubts about the possible future of the national football team (not soccer, because the game's name is from England, years before the stupid so called american football appeared) in the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.

I know it is not time to put the blame on someone, but I think headcoach Luis Suarez made a mistake in that last game. This last game should not be used for further tests, he had to play with his best men in order to show that Ecuador had a defined opening team. Instead of that, he changed some "key" players and put others, for example, the goalkeeper Mora (who had a terrible game with Colombia) was changed with Villafuerte, who didn't prove to be in better conditions. I think both are good goalkeepers, I trust Villafuerte a little more, but the headcoach must have had the "man" for this key possition already decided, and not show us that he is still doubtfull about this.

Another doubt that Suarez showed us, is the right lateral. He opened with Neicer Reasco, who have had good games with the "tri" but in these couple of preparation games, he hasn't showed us all that awesome game that he shows when playing for LDUQ. I know that no player has bougth his place, but we all know what Ulises de la Cruz means to Ecuador at deffense and attack, so why not play with him, the only answer is that Suarez doesn't want that any of his titular players could get injured.

I can write about a couple of possitions more, but it would be useless, because at this time, no one in Ecuador knows what will be the openning team against Poland.

We all have a little of coach inside us, and I'm not the exception. For that reason, i'll give my opening team:

Goalkeeper: Villafuerte, has more experience and is stronger. Rigth lateral : Ulises de la Cruz, he is the best in that possition. Central deffenders : Ivan Hurtado, he is ecuadorian last line of deffense - Geovani Espinoza, he is tall and can fight with Germany and Poland's big men. Left lateral: Paul Ambrossi, he has great technique and has great offensive, but lacks some deffensive. Deffensive midfielders : Edwin Tenorio, he's the warrior in the middle field for Ecuador - Marlon Ayovi, has great anticipation and is a good assister. Offensive midfielders : Edison Mendez, is the best middle distance shooter it the team, and great assister - Antonio Valencia, is more a compound player, has great ball recovery, and also is great offensively talking. Forwards : Aguntin Delgado, he is ecuadorian all time best scorer, no more to say - Ivan Kaviedes, he is very irregular but when he is "on", he can change the course of a game.

Some of you would not agree with this formation, but I think is the best Ecuador has, and Ecuador should play it's classic 4-4-2, because the team knows how to play this formation with eyes closed.

At the end, Luis Suarez will have the last word, I hope that all these doubts be thrown away with that first game, and Ecuador show the world why is playing two consecutive World Cups.

Good luck boys!!!!!

With Rosenrot, they keep kicking ass!!!

Rosenrot is Rammstein's last disc and let me tell you, it is good. Still has some tracks that I didn't like (Te Quiero Puta is one of them) but there are five songs that I consider, are pretty cool.

All these five songs are kind of slow, except Mann Gegen Mann, which is fast and hard. Wo Bist Du has some awesome keyboards and has a very catchy chorus, Feuer und Wasser is a ballad that has some nice guitar playing, Rosenrot (the disc title song) is cool too.

But there is one song that surprised me a lot, it is "Strib Dicht Vor Mir (Don't die before I do)" which is a ballad too but featuring an english singer from some group called Texas. The combination of this chick's voice with Till trademark vocals results pretty cool. The rest of the tracks are good but nothing remarkable.

I think that Rammstein shows some new melodic face with this disc, although it still has some brain shaking tones. Anyway, as I mentioned before this is a must have for any Rammstein fan, and if your're not, still it's a good buy.

The Godfather 2

Francis Ford Coppola definetly created a masterpiece with "The Godfather", the most famous history about italian mob families. Based on a novel by Mario Puzzo, this film is an inmortal classic, not only for the monsters of acting involved (Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Diane Keaton, Robert Duvall,James Caan), the excellent history and the great direction. No , this film merges all this things and makes a movie that will be watched over generations and bring the same feelings over and over again to it's watchers.

I consider this one of my favorite films and have watched it like a dozen times. However, I beleived that the sequels of this movie were simple films made because of the success of the first one. I watched Godfather 3 and thougth that was good but not even close to the original. Then the second one was passed on TV, but I never got to see it complete, because it was too long (That was what I Thougth). But this weekend I saw it on a DVD shop and said to myself "let's see it once for all". Guys I have never underestimated a movie so much like this one. This is definetly a worth sequel for the first one, especially because of the "flashbacks" that bring the story of how Vito Corleone got to the top of the mob world.

Vito is interpreted by an enormous Robert De Niro, which for this paper won an Oscar. The history of Vito alternates with the events that came after the first movie, with Michael Corleone as the leader of the family and his attempts to bring family businesses to legality.

When I finished to watch this movie, I felt very impressed because of Al Pacino's acting, it was so powerful that I even got to feel what Michael Corleone felt after killing his own brother (Sorry for the spoil :( ). Don't missunderstand me, De Niro was excellent at his perform and he deserved his Ocsar, but Al Pacino showed in this film that he is a master of dramatic interpretation.

The film is 3+ hours long, but beleive me, every second is worth watching, if you haven't seen it, take my advice and rent it, or better buy it, because this is a film every 7th art lover must have. I still consider the Godfather to be the best of the three, but the second part is definetly on my "Best of all time movies" list.
