Chelsea @ Valencia
10/14 - The CL group stage match day 3: Oct 18 - 19
Match to watch: Bayern Munchen(Ger) @ Napoli(Italy)
11/1 - The CL group stage match day 4: Nov. 1-2
<> The Nov. 1st matches to watch:
Olympiacos @ Dortmund: Considered as Germany's club football answer to Barcelona, the German champions Borussia Dortmund started the CL run with high hopes. Borussia Dortmund have taken a few elements from Barcelona's in the passing term. A 1-1 home draw against Arsenal considered moderate. Things unexpectedly turned for the worst as Dortmund's garbage defending resulted in consecutive away losses @ Marseille and Olympiacos. Today's game is certainly the must win for Dortmund. Jurgen Klopp should resign if his side fail defensively again today.

Bayer Leverkusen @ Valencia: While England's Chelsea, having no chance @ the 2011/12 Premier League title, may secure their knockout stage qualification with a win @ Genk today, Germany's Bayer Leverkusen could expect a football fight @ Valencia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxd7Hd1BKd0%20This is a must win for both Leverkusen and Valencia. "The factory" team, die Werkself, can progress with a win.
<> Germany's football excellence is well known. Even in the off year, this year for example, Bayern Munchen still have a decent CL run. High expectations in Dortmund and Leverkusen today.
<> The Group G & H group stage matches featuring Barcelona and AC Milan would be insignificant in the football term but may be important in the business term. Based on the current points, Barcelona and AC Milan will qualify for the knockout stage regardless of today's outcome. The question for Barcelona and AC Milan is, is this a football business trip or a football contest? In the football contest Barca and AC Milan will win on any day. It's different on the football business trip. The odds on Plenz and BATE to draw or to win are huge.
11/4 - The USA Corner: The upcoming exhibitions.
The 2 match schedule against France and Slovenia respectively indicates Juergen Klinsmann's player discovery process not completed yet. Terrible! If this was ME, I could have completed this discovery process a few months ago. Klinsmann, already more than 5 months in the wilderness.
According to said above article, courtesy of Fox Soccer, it is self explainatory with regards to Klinsmann's selection. It is because there's been the seniority system in German football. However this is America, not Germany, where the ability of a player is taken into consideration for the national team, regardless of background. In life I am saddened to see the slow people use the so called "seniority system" to limit the smart ones who are grown ahead of time. For this reason, I think Juergen Klinsmann is wrong headed in this regard.
The long winter recess will enable Klinsmann to put together the qualification plans and a group of totally committed, capable players, 16 or 18 players, who will play for him throughout the qualifying process.
There is another dimension that Klinsmann should know, look at. I strongly feel that there is a group of people from the rivals, former US players for instance, working AGAINST Klinsmann's coaching. For intance, ESPN's Alexi Lalas might have wanted Klinsmann's coaching job.
I, Anhtuan Nguyen Huynh, personally would like to wish Klinsmann the best in his coaching.

The perspective: The euro currency in the years ahead.
It should be noted that the United Europe & its currency will benefit from the democratic societies around it, Afghanistan in the East & North Africa in the South. Further, the question is where the United Europe & its currency be without Germany, the world's 3rd largest economy.
The Perspective: The Worldwide Consumption Growth.
How the Chinese will light up Japan in the next decade?
Japan has the 3rd largest electricity market in the world behind the US & China. The Japanese parliament recently passed the renewable energy feed in tariff(FIT) law requiring the domestic electric utility companies to purchase renewable energy. Given the underdeveloped South Korean energy sector and Japan's geographical disadvantage, the Chinese energy companies have the upper hand in Japan's energy market.
