September 14, 2008; It's them again...

Just like in the NBA, wherein the rivalry between the Celtics and the Lakers were renewed during the Finals, the rivalry between Katipunan-based Ateneo De Manila University and the Taft-based De La Salle University will be renewed come Thursday as their best-of-three championship starts.

De La Salle entered the finals by beating the FEU Tamaraws just hours ago via a 67-62 score. James Mangahas led the way for the Archers with 20 points and 8 rebounds. The Archers are the defending champions for this season.

Ateneo on the other hand, entered the finals by defeating the UE Red Warriors, 70-50, a while ago at the Araneta Coliseum. The two squad will start their duel Thursday afternoon, still at the Big Dome at 4:00 PM. Both Ateneo and De La Salle held a twice-to-beat advantage against their opponents because they finished as the top two teams after two rounds of elimination.

And in boxing action, Vernon "The Viper" Forrest defeated Sergio Mora to regain the WBC 154-lb World Championship at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. While Juan Manuel "Dinamita" Marquez defeated Joel "El Sepillo" Casamayor for the RIng Magazine Lightweight Championship of the World.

And for football news, Manchester United lost last night Manila time against rival LIverpool 2-1 at Anfield, the homefield of Liverpool. The only goal of United was scored just 3 minutes in the game by Carlos Tevez, from Dimitri Berbatov's perfect pass. Then, Liverpool scored by an own goal by Wes Brown, which tied the game at 1-1. Then Liverpool's Babel sealed the win for the Reds with a late goal, much to the dismay of Sir Alex Ferguson. The Reds now lead the Premier League standings with 10 points, 3 points clear of Chelsea. Manchester United is now tied for 13th place with just 4 points.

So there. Too much sports! Haha! Hope you had a great Sunday! God bless you guys! Stay safe! Peace out! The Wizard was here...:)
