I feel lonely again.

Mind you about the title. In a way, I feel lonely again.

I mean, who keeps up to date on when Mothers Day falls. Shattering. (Old readers might now where this is going, new readers might rather not read this)

She would be very happy seeing me today now. To know that I decided to follow in her footsteps must make her feel special for once. She is after all, "Special" in my eyes. If it wasn't for her, I would never be in College, let alone Psychology.

Its finals week for me and today was Mothers day. Everyone in my contact list either had a "Happy Mothers Day <3" status or a display picture with their mothers. And I don't blame them. They could do that because they can experience it. I'm just their scrolling the updates thinking "Gosh, I wish I could feel the same way as my friends."

I went up to the 4th floor just to kiss my mothers name silver-plated on a wall, where my class was on the 1st. I just needed luck for finals and closure. I could imagine the smile on her face if she knew I was going to be one of her students. She was a lively person and I love her that much. Everyone loved her. She left too soon and I know God knows that she shouldve lived a little longer.

So like every other day as I got home, I kissed her picture. Everyday in my head there is a part of it that always says that no one would ever replace her. She was of course the woman who brought me life and brought me love. What kills me the most is I never thought I could make her happy enough of her son. I always thought I wasn't good enough. Maybe if she lived a little longer, she could at least see how far Ive come. I'm living her legacy. I'm doing it for her.

Today was a hard day. Its almost 4 years since the last I've seen you smiling. I miss having you around. Happy Mothers day.

My WAFER story; The story I never had time to share.

Warning: Post ini bakalan panjang sekali. Diperbolehkan untuk menutup post ini sekarang juga jika kalian bukan pembaca berat. Yang akan saya tuliskan disini akan bersifat pribadi dan ditujukan kepada orang-orang tertentu saja.

Lebih baik saya mengawali post ini dengan cuplikan dari puisi pribadi yang pernah saya buat saat kelas 9.

"... We are as solid as a Wafer
Every layer sticks together
From the top to the bottom layer
Will always stay forever
From Jogja to Drama
From Archand to friends
My name is Adhika
This will be the end"

-Adhika P Prasetyo

Wafer adalah nama angkatan saya di sekolah Madania. Nama Wafer ini diberikan oleh teman saya bernama Bayu Irjanto yang sudah pindah ke negara lain dan akan melanjutkan sekolah di salah satu Universitas terbaik di Amerika yaitu Purdue University. Kepanjangan dari Wafer itu sendiri adalah "We Are Madania's Fifth Generation".

Bagi yang tidak tau saya sudah 11 tahun 2 bulan di angkatan ini. Bisa dibilang saya sudah lama banget disini dan sudah kenal hampir semua anak yang keluar-masuk sekolah. Selama 11 tahun selalu saya keluhkan tentang harus ke sekolah yang jauh setiap paginya, dan menyiksa harus pulang begitu sore. Tetapi ini tempat sudah seperti rumah kedua bagi saya.

Bukan karena saya lebih banyak menghabiskan waktu di sekolah ini. Tetapi orang-orang yang berada dalam sekolah ini membuat saya merasa nyaman. Teman2 saya banyakan dari sana.

Lalu kenapa menulis blog ini? Karena ini adalah minggu terakhir saya di SMA. Minggu depan sudah Ujian Nasional, dan setelah selesai ujian itu, ga bakalan ada sekolah lagi. Yang membuat saya sedih ya bakalan meninggalkan sekolah ini lah.

Saya mengalamani banyak konflik (beberapa bisa dilihat di post yang lama), apalagi disaat pindah-pindah kelas saat kelas 11. Setelah gagal sekali, hilang motivasi, saya hampir jatuh 2 kali. Beruntung gajadi jatuh dan akhirnya saya tetap naik kelas dan di kelas 12 ini nilai mulai relatif konsisten.

Kawan saya yang juga yang ikut probation (Nico Wijaya) siang tadi (April 8 2011) sempat sharing di sekolah tentang pengalaman sedihnya saat berada di IPA dan saat dia pindah ke IPS tentang bahwa dia merasa tidak diterima di kelas IPA. Sebenernya saya merasa lebih sedih karena merasa tidak diterima bukan sama kelas lagi, melainkan seangkatan. Masuk IPS aja sangat was-was.

Dibawah ini saya ingin memberi beberapa cerita tentang sebagian orang yang menurut saya berperan di kehidupan SMA saya.

Yang pertama gue ingin berterima kasih kawan yang bernama Rama Abrar Zati. Saat akhir-akhir kelas 11, gue hampir gagal di pelajaran Hukum dan semua file hukum gue berada didalam USB gue. Tetapi dihari gue ingin bertemu dengan guru Hukum (yang terkenal untuk galaknya dan tegas disiplinernya) USB gue gatau bagaimana berada ditangan dia dan dibawa pulang sama Rama tanpa sepengetahuan gue. Dia bawa USB ini karena dia belum menonton filmnya Luna Maya *whoops :p*. Beruntungnya karena merasa bersalah (dan dia sangat bagus dibidang hukum) dia membantu banyak tugas perbaikan Hukum gue dan akhirnya tembus juga itu nilai. Thanks ram!

Dari kelas 2 SD kita sekelas, sekelas lagi kelas 8Y, dan sekelas lagi di tahun terakhir, Dias Widjajanto dan Endra Said sebagai teman nyontek! Endra walau akhir2 ini mulai ngocol, masih enak lah berteman sama lo dan sama Dias bisa ngobrolin apa aja. Terima kasih untuk pengalaman berteman kita di SMA!

Ucapan terima kasih harus gue santunkan juga pada Satrio Ramadhan. Handal sekali dalam bidang fotografi dan cinematografi, gue merasa senang diajak untuk ikut serta dalam beberapa projek filmnya. Saat lo lulus IKJ kita cari teman kriminologi, forensik, dan sponsor untuk buat film seri semacem CSI!

Lalu juga buat teman-teman poker, Ahmad Nadim, Pasha Natanegara, Ganes Ksatria, Ezar Alkafia, dan Nicky Wibisono (Mungkin boleh nambahin Janitra Ezra Putra & Rizky Oktavian di Kemang waktu itu) senang lah gue bisa belajar bermain ini game. Mau menang banyak atau bankrut juga mainnya tetep seru. Setelah UN sering-sering yuuk!

Last but not least (Kalo lo baca jangan keGRan yaaa~) gue mau berterimakasih sekali untuk Dila Mutiara Ainsyah! Sekali lagi jangan keGRan! Menurut gue lo paling baik sama gue for no reason. Di saat gue pertama pindah jurusan, lo orang pertama yang menerima gue di kelas baru lo. Gue gatau kenapa lo mau berbaik begitu tapi gue mau berterima kasih sebesar-besarnya melebihi besarnya badan gue. Di SMA ini lo yang suka bantuin gue kalau lagi dalam susah. Rada lebay sih, tapi kalau lo ga ada gue gatau gue bakal kaya bagaimana kelas 11 dan 12 ini. Gue berharap kita bisa saling bertemu juga di graduation day :D

Bagi yang tidak disebut namanya, bukan berarti lo ga ngefek dalam hidup SMA gue. Bagi yang pernah sekelas sama gue, pasti bakalan gue inget terus dan obrolan sehari-hari kita takutnya ga akan gue dapatkan lagi di masa kuliah (dimanapun gue kuliah nanti). You've made your own contributions in your own ways :D

Please don't lose contact, You are the only ones I think I have. Long Live WAFER!!

The "What ifs?" of #GER World Cup campaign

The FIFA World Cup is over, and Germany's young squad missed out to eventual champions Spain in the semifinals, and ended up 3rd overall after winnign against Uruguay. Despite a great squad and performance by young players, it took everyone away from the thought that most of their key-players were actually missing from the tournament. And their path to the Semi-finals didn't come with ease. I would just like to amagine the "What ifs?" of this German squad and would've happened.

First of the problems came way before the World Cup happened where Robert Enke - Germany's 1st choice Goalkeeper - attempted suicide back in November 2009. His replacement the young and promising Rene Adler declared he would not take part in the upcoming World Cup to undergo a surgery for his rib injury a month before the World Cup began. So up stepped another promising Goalkeeper in Manuel Neuer who played magnificently in the World Cup. But here comes the question, "What if Robert Enke didn't die and what if Rene Adler didn't get injured?". Maybe and just maybe, Germany wouldn't concede that goal against Serbia which cost them the game, or maybe the goal from Carles Puyol in the semis.

Next comes the defence problems. Schalke defender Heiko Westermann was scheduled to be a key player in the German's defence to pair up with Per Mertesacker but broke his foot in the last warmup game before the World Cup. Arne Friedrich who was scheduled to play as rightback was then converted as Westermann's replacement and playing well with a goal to add in the competition. Westermann's injury forced Phillip Lahm to switch sides from Leftback to Rightback and leaving young players in Holger Badstuber and Jerome Boateng sharing roles as back-up left-back. My question here is , "What if Heiko Westermann didn't get injured?". Will either Badstuber or Boateng be even called-up to the national squad? if they did, would they get a minute on the pitch? Friedrich was great in teh heart of the German defence but he may have had a better performance should he had played in his natural position as rightback.

Then the centrepiece of them all, the captaincy. First choice captain Michael Ballack injured his ankle in his last game as a Chelsea player against Portsmouth in the FA Cup final where his opponent Kevin-Prince Boateng tackled late on him causing Ballack to miss the World Cup. Boateng incidentally, is Jerome Boateng's brother whom both played for Germany in youth levels. Kevin-Prince though decided to play for Ghana and help their campaign in the World Cup. Michael Ballack's place however, was replaced by Stuttgart midfielder Sami Khedira and his captaincy fell to Phillip Lahm's arms, while his proud #13 shirt was worn by young striker Thomas Muller. Khedira had a blast in the World Cup which lead interest from Real Madrid and Manchester United while Phillip Lahm lead the team by example, and Thomas Muller snatching the Golden Boot and Best young player. The question that fits here is, "What if Michael Ballack didn't lose his captaincy because of Kevin-Prince Boateng's late tackle?" who knows Ballack wouldve played better than Khedira would, and could've lead the team to even the World Cup Final.

Strikers selection also became an issue. Usual choices Lukas Podolski and Miroslav Klose have both flopped in the league, while Cacau is naturally a Brazilian who has a German citizenship. That leaves the inform strikers of last season's Bundesliga are Stefan Keissling, Kevin Kuranyi and youngster Thomas Muller. To the surprise of everyone Podolski and Klose were chosen afterall following a horrid season and Cacau too added to the squad. Kevin Kuranyi earlier in the year had a bust-up with Germany head coach Joachim Low so he wouldn't be called up, which gives Thomas Muller a chance to be part of the squad including Keissling in the squad as well. Media and fans criticized Low's selection policy as being "too trustworthy of Podolski and Klose". But as it turned out, Klose and Podolski both had great tournaments with Klose scoring 4 and Podolski scoring 2. Thomas Muller scored 5 and became topscorer of the worldcup, while Cacau managed to score one himself. The questions now are, "What if Miroslav Klose, Lukas Podolski and Thomas Muller was never called-up to the National team? and what if Cacau never took Germany citizenship?". Certainly things would have been very different.

Then came that game against England in the round of 16. Germany took the lead with goals from Podolski and Klose but England narrowed the gap with a Matthew Upson header to make the game 2-1 to Deutschland. Moments after Upson scored, Frank Lampard attempted a long range shot which bounced off under the crossbar which England fans thought that it crossed the goal-line for an equalizer, but refferee Jorge Larrionda and his assistants ruled that it did not pass the line although replays showed that it passed the line by quite a margin. England never got back into the game and concede a further 2 goals from a double by Thomas Muller and lost 1-4. Next question would be, "What if Frank Lampard's goal was given?" England could have gone back into the match and fight until the death if the scores were tied again, but yet again the German side that day was unstoppable.

Thomas Muller's red hot form did not stop there as he scored and helped Germany thump Argentina 4-0 but got his second yellow card of the tournament for a challenge which couldve been avoided and misses the Semifinals against Spain because of this. Germany lost that game because they couldnt counter as much as they wouldve liked against a stubborn Spanish defence line probably beacuse of a certain missing link on the right side of attack in Muller. Spain won the semifinals - and eventually the World Cup - with a 1-0 scoreline. Here comes the last question, "What would've happened if Thomas Muller actually played in the semifinals?". I don't know if he would've made a significant impact considering how great Spain's defence is, but you can't stop the writer from wondering...

Now to recap them all, "What if all those never happened? could Germany got even closer to winning the World Cup?" They certainly have excelled from their shortages, but it goes to wonder what if they didn't have their key absentees...

Squads are important.

After one whole month, finally the FIFA 2010 World Cup ends with Spain winning against Holland 1-0 after extra time with Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta scoring the winner. From what I have seen after viewing all 64 matches (and slept through some of them :p) I have realised that Spain and Holland were the 2 best teams in this competition because they brought their best players from their country. Further information? keep reading.

Ever since all 32 nations released the names of their squad players consisting of 23 names, it seems that each country had their manager criticized by the media and fans alike citing they bought players who didnt deserve a call-up over players who deserved ones, most notably England, Argentina, Brazil, and France. But when the Spain and Holland squads were submitted, almost no one wanted to debate about the squad. Sure, they said a couple of names should've been in the Spain & Holland squad, but they conceded that those names would be very hard to even get a game. In other words, their squads were "Good enough to win" and "No bad calls".

Teams with unbalanced quality will falter, as you look at England and Brazil. Fabio Capello surprisingly decided not to bring Theo Walcott and Darren Bent while Dunga left Ronaldinho and Alexandre Pato out of his squad. As what I saw, these players would've made an impact on their respective countries.

England only drew to the USA and failed to score against Algeria. They couldnt convert their chances against Germany and eventually got smacked 1-4. In my views, Walcott couldve given pace and trickery on the right and would outrun Jerome Boateng at leftback which James Milner could not do, while Darren Bent's club form (3rd top scorer in BPL - behind Drogba & Rooney) wouldve helped big time rather than Emile Heskey who isn't even a starter for Aston Villa. These players couldve influenced the attack in all these games, but sadly they were absent.

Brazil had a fine run until the quarterfinals against Holland. Dunga's choice of bringing 6 defensive-minded midfielders and not bringing either Ronaldinho or Pato looked almost like a good move. But when they went behind Holland 2-1 in the second half of the quarterfinal match, and a man down after Felipe Melo's sending off, they should've went for attack, shouldnt they? Surely you cant rely on defensive midfielders in a situation like this? Ronaldinho and Pato could've easily inspired a comeback in those types of games.

Now if you look at the squad that Spain have, there are just a few players who you could change and question of their inclusion to the squad. "Why is Fernando Llorente in the squad? Why not Alvaro Negredo or Guiza or maybe even Bojan?" Well my friend, he scored more league goals than Negredo and Bojan did last term, while Guiza just lost a straight battle against Llorente to be in the squad. "Why is Marcos Senna not given a call-up?" Spain has the best midfielders around in Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Sergio Busquets, Cesc Fabregas, and Andres Iniesta. Also, up-and-coming Bilbao youngster Javi Martinez looks promising and would benefit from the trip to South Africa. Spain had the best squad from Goalkeepers to Strikers so them winning the World Cup didn't surprise me that much.

Congrats La Furia Roja! you deserved this!! See you in Euro2012!!

My Ideal #ITA and #FRA World Cup teams

Suprising results and its still the preliminaries! Italy (2006 World Champions) and France (2006 Runners-up) both knocked out of the competition before the knockout rounds!

Firstly I feel it is down to poor decisions on which player to take, but yet again there were to many choices. But because the managers were professionals, shouldnt they spot the errors? There were players who deserved a call-up but they didnt come at all. Who should we blame? The Manager.

Itali isn't troubled at the back, but they were lacking up front. While France is lacking everywhere on the pitch. Scary to watch really...

Here would be my ideal national teams, Italy first:

Goalkeepers: Marcelo Lippi didn't have many choices but I think he made the right ones. Gianluigi Buffon arguably the best GK in the world, with Federico Marchetti and Morgan De Sanctis as the able back-ups would also be in my squad so I agree with Lippi on this one.

Defenders: Well what can you do when your captain is aging AND playing bad this season? Fabio Cannavaro wouldve made it into the squad anyway and Giorgio Chiellini the best in Italy right now. But both players have leaked goals last season for Juventus as I wouldve brought maybe Danelie Bonera for cover. Bonera's teammate Gianluca Zambrotta would make the squad as well but bringing Christian Maggio as backup? I wouldn't. I'd bring in young Davide Santon from Internazionale as he is young and has International experience with a great deal of potential. Domenico Criscito deserves a call-up for sure and Fabio Grosso as well, but Grosso had a dismal season. But with all he's done in the qualifying round and all his experience, at least put him on the bench, right? Lippi thinks otherwise. Salvatore Bochetti would complete my line of defenders, he's young and has potential. He can play in the center or as a left back so he would be useful.

Midfielders: Angelo Palombo is pretty decent but he's just not International material, so he wouldnt make my team. AC Milan duo Andrea Pirlo and Gennaro Gattuso would easily enter my starting lineup along side AS Roma golden boy Daniele De Rossi playing with them. Naturalized Argentine winger Mauro Camoranesi I would bring into the squad to add options and become an impact sub in games. Fiorentina midfielder Riccardo Montolivo would complete my midfield for sure, as Claudio Marchisio sadly would have no room in my team.

Strikers: Antonio Di Natale and Fabrizio Miccolo would be first on my squad list, because they had great seasons for the past 2-3 years, but Lippi decided not to bring Miccoli for a reason. He instead brought in Juventus' Vincenzo Iaquinta even after a slightly disappointin season, which I wouldn't choose. Simone Pepe of Udinese and Fabio Quagliarella of Napoli would add spark to the flanks - also with their experience of playing with Di Natale would help him score like he has for Udinese in past seasons. You definitely need an AC Milan striker because in the past Italy would always play well if at least 1 Milan striker was in the squad. That striker was in the form of in-form Marco Borriello, which isn't totally bad actually. Mario Balotelli would also be in my team - even though he isnt first choice for Inter, he certainly has talent and is good enough to be called up in the Italy squad. Last spot in the squad I'd give to Albero Gilardino. It would be a hard choice choosing him against Giuseppe Rossi and Giampaolo Pazzini, but he would be my choice to complete my attack.

My ideal lineup (4-3-3): Buffon; Zambrotta, Chiellini, Cannavaro, Criscito; Pirlo, Gattuso, De Rossi; Miccoli, Borriello, Di Natale.

France team will continue soon after...

Simple Plan - Perfect

Hey dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?
But it hurts when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me

Cause we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright

Cause we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
But you don't understand

Cause we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

Cause we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

George Bush is a smart man... No, not the monkey. The father of that monkey.

“No, I don’t know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered as patriots. This is one nation under God.”

These were the words that Bush Senior said. Not the words Bush junior wouldve tried to say, am I correct?

Lately, i've been aware on people who are and assume theirselves as "atheists" which are the people who believe in no God. They think that science explains everything why the universe exist. I say what they think are absolutely bullshit. The human brain isnt capable to think of the existence of all the things because there is no logical reason on this, but to my belief, i'll just relax. Why? this universe is created for humans from God so we can enjoy it.

Same as like if you are going to eat dinner at a restaurant. The restaurant is the universe, your table is the earth, your the customer and God is the chef. God serves your dinner. If you dare try to ask for the secret recipe you'll get kicked out of the restaurant, so just try to enjoy the meal. You will pay your dinner with praying, and doing rituals as an extra tip for the chef.

Well on the other hand, just because their Atheists doesnt mean they are bad people. Stats do say that wars happen usually due to religion fights and conflict. The Jewish torturing Holocaust and jihad suicide bombers to name a few. That is because they get their religion messages wrong due to ambiguation. Atheist just need to judge good from bad with morals, which they are good at it for some reason.

Evolution is a crap theory. No way monkeys evolved into humans. Big Bang is also a crap theory. No way nothing turned into something magically, even science theories stated that "no energy could be created nor destroyed". God surely created  that Bang because no one else did!

Im not trying to be a die hard religionist. Im no where near perfect as a religionist, but i do accept the existence of God. Im proud to be a Muslim who knows wrong and right from religion. I just dont like people who doesnt appreciate what God gave them, what a waste. Even an atheist once said that he wished God existed.

Sorry ini bahasa inggris. lagi kepengen -.-

Thanks for reading if you did.

Tes: Apel yang jatuh...

Post ini hanya untuk menghibur dan diadaptasi dari obrolan dengan beberapa temen belom lama ini.

Coba ambil 1 anak dari 5 jurusan berbeda dari angkatanku ini dan anggap saya tidak hafal yang mana dari jurusan mana. Kita siapkan 5 apel dan jatuhkan didepan mata mereka. Perbedaan pasti akan terjadi diantara 5 anak ini dan langsung bisa tau siapa dari jurusan mana.

1. Anak yang menghitung kecepatan jatuhnya apel dan menghitung densitas apel adalah anak dari Jurusan "FISIKA".

2. Anak yang mencari kadar gizi dan mengecek apelnya sudah matang belumya adalah anak dari Jurusan "BIOLOGI"

3. Anak yang melukis apel yang sudah jatuh ke tanah dan membuat pantun tentang apel adalah anak dari Jurusan "ARTS/BAHASA"

4. Anak yang mengambil apel itu dan dijual untuk mendapatkan uang adalah anak dari Jurusan "EKONOMI"

5. Anak yang memakan dan menelan apel itu adalah anak dari Jurusan "HUMANITIES"

Memang ini agak garing, saya ga keberatan kalo kalian ga ketawa. Malahan kalian yang kurang kerjaan karena sempat-sempatnya baca posterous ini. Ini post saya ingin bikin karena ternyata ini bermoral, bahwa setiap jurusan punya plus minus masing-masing dan punya kehebatannya sendiri-sendiri, Semua jurusan itu unik. Tidak ada jurusan yang paling jelek atau paling bagus. Penjurusan ini harus dicocokan dengan kepribadian kalian. Jika salah memilih jurusan, kemungkinan bisa gagal. Jadi semoga ini post bisa jadi berkesan buat kalian yang membaca.

World Cup Team Predictions: England

Pundits and people alike usually say that England doesn't have the players to win anything. Id say they have too many players they can make the wrong decisions on who to call-up. With them finally qualifying for the upcoming world cup, the only difficulty now for Fabio Capello is to select the right players for this world cup and he will have difficulties.

I can assure the players such as captain John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, and Wayne Rooney are definitely going to South Africa next year. But the main question is the other players who are vying for the other 18 places in the England squad will be. Here are my predictions.

Firstly, In the Goalkeeping department. England hasn't been gifted with a good goallie in ages since David Seaman, Nigel Martyn & Tim Flowers were still in their prime, but there are a couple of decent goallies to say. Since David James is aging, we're not sure if Fabio Capello would call him up for the team. The media has been building too much hype on Ben Foster to become the next England goalkeeper but i think he's overrated, and im a ManUtd fan as well. Dont get me wrong, hes good and everything but there are far much better goallies out there, particularly in England as I see Robert Green as the better choice to become England's first choice in South Africa. Joe Hart & Paul Robinson too would love to have a go on making the trip but even they know they won't be expecting to be used if they are called-up.

Next, the defence. Terry and Rio would definitely be there, but the other players who are going to accompany them isn't that predictable. Ashley Cole might almost be the first choice left back for Capello, and ever-growing Glen Johnson would complete the first choice defence line-up. The problem that would presist for Fabio may well be the back up for the back four, but i would like to see Wes Brown be in the team as he can easily play at the heart of defence or even play at right back, because he was Englands first choice right-back before he got injured and Glen taking his place. Matthew Upson looks to have won Capello as his 3rd choice centre-back but the rest of the defence is yet to be figured out. After moving to Manchester City, Wayne Bridge seems to become even more confident of playing but Leighton Baines and Stephen Warnock looks to challenge Wayne for it. The other place which is 4th choice centre-back the way i look at it will really go down to who plays the best towards the end of the season with atleast 5 defenders staking a claim for it such as Joleon Lescott, Ledley King, Gary Cahill, Jonathan Woodgate, and Curtis Davies. It would be fun to wonder who gets it though.

Seriously i wouldnt even try to predict who would represent England in midfield besides Stevie G and Lamps, but it is makeable. David Beckham would possibly be going though but I can see 4 right wingers who are consistently performing to their highest standards and all are still young at age. Theo Walcott's hattrick againts Croatia in one of the qualifiers would probably be favorites to be going though but Shaun Wright-Phillips is having the time of his life at Manchester City, and Aaron Lennon is running riot keeping David Bentley on the bench for Spurs. James Milner also gets a mention for being one of many Aston Villa's English players.

To accompany the two attackers in midfield, Gareth Barry seems to win over Fabio's heart for that matter. The two Manchester United midfielders of Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves would love to come though, but i doubt both would come because either Carrick is too under-rated or Owen is expected to recover and be fit for the World Cup. Tom Huddlestone is also becoming a force to reckon with great physical presence and a powerful right foot to add. Jermaine Jenas seems to be a forgotten man but he's making a claim again with Spurs getting decent performances and Jenas as one of the stars.

The next problem would be on the left wing. Joe Cole seems to get injured every now and again, but when he comes back he might challenge that place with Ashley Young and Stewart Downing. Barry and Milner can play in that position too though so all is good in that position.

Last but not least is the attacking options. England has a wealthy stock of strikers, its just that they never seem to pick the right ones. Fabio seems to love Emile Heskey because he uses him a lot for England, more times than he has played for his own club, Aston Villa. Jermaine Defoe looks as to be hitting form at the right time as hes been the most prolific striker in the last 2 years. Dean Ashton looks to also be a serious contender but injuries has stopped him from being on the field letting replacement Carlton Cole getting all the form. Face it, Carlton has been a revelation and has been consistent for the past year. Peter Crouch deserves a mention as well as Darren Bent for being rather consistent. Gabriel Agbonlahor is another option surely would get support, his pace is frightning and his finishing is deadly of late. With all these options up front plus Rooney, it looks to me as Michael Owen would never get a comeback to International football if he doesnt start to perform for his new team Manchester United.

So after all that here is my final team prediction, and i would count the mistakes i make when the world cup comes:

GK: Robert Green, Ben Foster, David James.

DF: Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, Matthew Upson, Glen Johnson, Ashley Cole, Wes Brown, Joleon Lescott, Leighton Baines

MF: Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Gareth Barry, Shaun Wright-Phillips, David Beckham, Ashley Young, Michael Carrick

ST: Wayne Rooney, Emile Heskey, Jermaine Defoe, Carlton Cole, Gabriel Agbonlahor

First choice replacements:

GK: Paul Robinson

DF: Wayne Bridge, Ledley King

MF: Owen Hargreaves, Theo Walcott, Joe Cole

ST: Peter Crouch

Thats it

Position yourself as me for a few minutes while reading this post

Okay, tolong posisikan kalian semua diposisi gue sekarang.

Di akhir kelas 1 SMA, lo gatau masuk jurusan apa. Lo nanya guru yang menyelesaikan penjurusan bakal dimana. Dia bilang IPS, tapi kalo masih mau masuk IPA masih ada cara. Ya caranya dengan percobaan 3-4 bulan pertama. Gue ga langsung milih jurusan apa yang gue mau dan gue pikirin jurusan apa yang mau diambil selama liburan.

2 hari sebelum masuk sekolah, gue datengin guru itu lagi. Akhirnya gue setuju ambil itu kontrak percobaan selama 3-4 bulan pertama. Jika dapet ya bagus, jika engga ya lanjutin hidup karena kuliahnya juga mau di IPS.

Nah sekarang masuk ke kelas 2 SMA. Semua bahagia dapet jurusan masing masing. Tapi anehnya anak2 ngejek2 gue kaya "Halah anak IPA sok2an, ntar juga balik lagi ke IPS". Sedih ga sih kaya ga ada yang ngedukung lo biar safe?

Terus berantem sama anak IPS. Dia ngejek lagi bawa2 nama jurusan bilang "Anak IPA maksa sok pinter blagu blablabla". Karena terbawa emosi, kluarlah perkataan "Otak mentok IPS aja berisik". Sekarang anak2 IPS ngira gue ngehina mereka semua dimana gue cuman ngejek itu orang aja.

Kesel ga sih apa yang lo lakuin serba salah? Ga ada yang ngerhargain? Ga ada yang mendukung? Iya gue salah temper gue lagi naik, gue ngaku gue salah. Tapi udah terlanjur jadi sekarang maaf semuanya anak IPS yang ada. Deeply do I'm Sorry.
