Astro Sokker Stadium

Astro will be unveiling the Stadium Astro Sokker Safari to the public at Bukit Jalil (next to Bukit Jalil National Stadium) on July 18 (SATURDAY 10AM-10PM).

The Stadium Astro Sokker Safari is inspired by South Africa, the 2010 FIFA World Cup host, with the exterior of Stadium Astro Sokker Safari embellished with African motifs.

We will be presented with a combination of a 4×40 foot truck that transforms into Stadium Astro, an area that features a futsal field and a retractable sitting terrace where the public can watch pulsating invitational 3 on 3 futsal matches amongst 24 teams as spectators would in an actual stadium.

If that's not enough, Dr. Freestyler's gonna be there yo! I'm excited to see him do his thing. Futsal players should come to, he'll probably pull off some sick ground moves as well.

Made in Malaysia artistes will also be on hand to support the event. Besides a whole host of Akademi Fantasia graduates, Dj Fuzz, Pop Shuvit and Zahid will aslo be there, among others.

To add to the authencity of the African atmosphere, international artistes will also be present including the Zimbabwean performer, Jonah Sithole.

Special mention to my boy on Twitter, the lyrical genius, Altimet, who is also scheduled to be there as well. :D

Looking forward to hanging out with you guys before the match there.

Manchester United Finally in Malaysia!

OMG.

The best crop of football players in the world are actually here in Malaysia. I'm still in disbelief.

There's gonna be a Manchester United Asia Tour 2009 media conference at the KLCC outdoor park from 1pm onwards today and right after will be the Finals of the NIKE5 Challenge event happening.

Futsal fans rejoice as I expect to see a slew joga bonito sh*t going down on the courts.

The winners will get a chance to meet the players for a kick-about and will take home autographed club merchandise, RM5,000 worth of NIKE apparel and grandstand tickets to the match on 18 June 2009.

See you all there!

Arshavin, Adebayor and Arsene

Blardy Emmanuel Adebayor looks set to leave us this summer to join Manchester City for a reported fee of £25 million after passing a medical with the Citizens and also being granted a work permit a couple days ago. They are still in discussions to finalize terms but the fact remains that a deal is still yet to be concluded.

Our potential talisman, Andrei Arshavin however couldn't be further away from jamming on the alarm button.

"He is an excellent striker. Everybody knows him. He can score from nothing. But it's his decision. If he wants to stay or he wants to leave."

A very calm response from Arshavin if I may add.

Adebayor's departure will most certainly affect Arsenal's attacking prowess (although we have Van Persie!) but when quizzed about this predicament, Arshavin again provided a cool response,

"I think it's not my question. We have Arsene. He knows everything. He knows that if we need someone Arsenal will buy."

Spot on, boy. Spot on.
