Complaining

Interesting that Jose Mourinho ends up the villain after
Wednesday's Chelsea-Barcelona match.

Based on what my sources tell me, Mourinho is a very, very bright guy.
And if he thinks Rijkaard gained an unfair advantage by talking to the
official at the half, then I believe him.

From what I've heard, no other coach in the world today is better
prepared, harder working or more into the details of winning than Mourinho.

Clearly, the detail of Rijkaard talking to referee Frisk was too much
for Mourinho to swallow.

Up one nil at the half, down one striker and two goals after it.

Fishy.

And how is this "beautiful" you ask?

Well, may I first suggest we not be cynical but laugh instead.

Mourinho is getting the heat this week for complaining about
complaining.

It's ironic. Perhaps absurd. But that is life is it not?

You think you have things figured out, you're on a roll, everything is
going right, people praise your work, then someone sneeks in and upsets
things.

One of the great things I have learned from playing and teaching the
great but hunbling Beautiful Game is that there is no justice.

And yet still we must struggle to enjoy it's beauty and revel in the
small and large victories when they happen.
