GOAT

I often think that if you are, like me, a sports enthusiast.... our generation has the most fortunate.

We get to watch and experience the brilliance of many GOATs - Greatest Of All Time.
They are better than gods.
That makes us MoFOATs? hehehe...

There are ones whom I personally think are GOATs but still have their unbelievers -

  • Valentino Rossi - A Ducati win away? or just drive rally and win... my GOAT of racing, bar none!
  • Lionel Messi - maybe a World Cup win away,
  • Michael Schumacher - Another win away? or stay should have stay retired,
  • Tiger Woods - a few more Majors, a few less expose =]
  • Jonah Lomu - will there ever be a more complete rugger?
  • The current Spanish Football Team, 
  • The Barcelona team under Guardiola (sorry, my beloved Liverpool)
  • The All-Blacks of 2011.
  • Usain Bolt - how much faster can a human run??


There are some undisputed ones:

  • Lance Armstrong - dope or no dope.
  • Michael Jordan 
  • Rafa Nadal on clay - who dares say nay?
  • Ronnie O'Sullivan


Last night, we had the privilege of watching a GOAT raising the bar even further.

  • most Wimbledon single titles - checked
  • most Grand Slam semi finals appearance - checked.
  • most weeks at No. 1 in ranking - checked.
  • coolest cat on/off the court - checked.
  • still faithful to a woman many thinks is not worthy - checked.
  • keeping the irritants off (Djoko who? ann Ivan Lendl couldn't win Wimbledon as a player, can't do it as a coach either) - checked.
Roger Federer - GOAT of GOATs.


couple of cool reports here and here.
