The self proclaimed Soccer Gurus of Asia


The English Premier soccer league has just started on its 2006/2007 season. And with this comes the excitement and anticipation of weekly soccer games shown live on all local sports TV channels. We here in Asia love our soccer. We need our dose of adrenaline every weekend. Its a shame the Malaysian soccer team sucks. Ranked second last in the world, just above the island nation of Guam who probably kick our ass. But that's a whole nother post on how pathetic our national team is. Anyway, radio soccer programs, are few and far between. Only one is worthy of mention.

These two friends of mine, Manvir and Sheldon, self proclaimed Soccer Gurus of Asia, have a weekly drive-time call-in radio show called 'Toyota Football Fever'. Very entertaining for soccer fans and absolutely annoying if you're not. There is minimal music so expect nothing but mindless expert banter for the entire duration of the show. The team I support is the great Blue team from Liverpool called Everton FC . Not to be mistaken for the Red team, Liverfools FC. If you can't differentiate between Blue and Red, then you my friend, are color blind and should not be driving. Incidentally these two radio DJ's are massive Liverspool fans. Which brings me to my next point, which is, Can these two be unbiased when making their observations and comments? No they can not. It is physically impossible for them to do so. Liverpool fans have a funny way of being blindly arrogant yet coy with their words. If you can imagine a bull charging at you. They are somewhat unrelenting. Much like Manchester United fans only they smell slightly better. Only very marginally slightly better, mind you. For what its worth... check them out.

Their website is http://www.soccergurusasia.com.
Or just click the newly improved banner I made for them.
