Can Sergio play for Indonesia?

2010-07-24T07:20:00.000-07:00

For over than 2 weeks, football fans in Indonesia almost cannot sleep, because Indonesia FA (PSSI) wants to make an instant move for the national team. PSSI feel so desperate because the NT never wins the international competition, more over after the failure to progress to the Asian Cup group stage. This is the failure since 1996 after first appearance.

The winless for all matches in the qualifying group make the Indonesia NT stay in the bottom. Although the hope almost appear when after shocking goalless with Socceros , Australia. When Indonesia become visitor for Australia, this team cannot denied from loosing, goal from Mark Milligan grab 3 points for Australia.

Actually, the willingness for Sergio to play for this NT has been showed since last year. He realized that become Netherlands’s striker is too impossible, too many players for that position.

According to FIFA, the rules are : (a) He was born on the territory of the relevant Association;
(b) His biological mother or biological father was born on the territory of
the relevant Association;
(c) His grandmother or grandfather was born on the territory of the
relevant Association;
(d) He has lived continuously for at least five years after reaching the age
of 18 on the territory of the relevant Association."

Base on the rules above that should be no problem for Sergio to use Indonesia jersey team. But the Indonesian law does not recognize dual nationality for adults over 18 years old. This rule becomes the main concern for PSSI to help Sergio to play with NT.

The State Minister of Youth and Sport Affairs, Andi Malarangeng said that Sergio should release his Netherlands nationality if he wants to play for Indonesia NT.

That is too bad and stupid government..!!!!

foot ball history

2010-07-07T14:42:00.000-07:00

Football history
There are many versions about the football history. According to Wikipedia.com, the ancient Greek, the Romans, The Japanese, and the English were the first nations to play game similar to modern football (Soccer: in USA), although it still debatable until now.

According to ancient Greek and the Romans history (388–311 BC), the games that similar to football firstly play when a man was killed, and his head was being kicked by many people until his head came into a barber’s shop.
In Chinese, people played it when it led by Han Dynasty (206 BC–220 BC), at that time this game, called as Cuju by Chinese, was played more organized. The ball was made with leather and the goal post was made from bamboo with high around 9 meters.
In Japan, this game known as kemari, it was played when Asuka led the Dynasty (600 AD). The game is similar to freestyle, where people play it in circle and kick it each other, and not allow it to drop in the ground.
In English, this game was played firstly in 1100 AC and it was played massively, involved hundreds of people. Because of the brutality of this game (the rule not existed yet), the King Edward II (1314 AD) prohibited it to play this game. This game was played again during The King Edward III (1369 AD).

The rule of this game always changed continually. And the modern era of football or soccer came when FIFA (Federation International of Football Association) was established in May, 21, 1904. FIFA regularly arranged the FIFA World Cup in five years, firstly held in Uruguay, where the host became the champion for the first time. Brazil holds the record to become the champion in five times.

KRAMA AND NGOKO, THE STYLE OF JAVANESE LANGUAGE

2010-07-07T01:36:00.000-07:00

I. INTRODUCTION
Javanese language is one of the most important languages in Indonesia. It is spoken by more than 80 million people or about 40 percent from total Indonesian population (Oglobin, 2005). The Javanese language is part of the Austronesian family, and therefore it’s related to Indonesian and Malay varieties. Many of Javanese also speak Indonesian for official and commercial purposes and to communicate with non-Javanese Indonesians. This language is spoken in Central and East Java, as well as on the north coast of West Java. In Madura, Bali, Lombok, and the Sunda region of West Java, Javanese was also used as a literary language. It was the court language in Palembang, South Sumatra, until their palace was sacked by the Dutch in the late 18th century.
The Javanese language has a very high value of literature, structure and a complicated grammar. It is not easy to apply it, especially for the common people. It is different with English, where the use of Javanese language is not depend on the time, whether it is past or future, as much the English that has tenses so that it can be easily to learn, but it depends on the social acceptability and age of the person.
The popularity of the Javanese language makes the foreign linguist or the linguistic experts are interested to explore the unique of the Javanese language. They study this language by many ways, whether they want to learn this language directly or by studying the music instrument (such as gamelan) at first. It is shows that the foreigners have admitted the priceless treasure from the Javanese language.
The standard dialect of Javanese is which based on the dialect of jawa tengah, especially the surrounding of Surakarta and Yogyakarta. There are some of the Javanese grammar, jawa karma and jawa karma inggil.
II. JAWA NGOKO
The style of this Javanese language is used when we are talking with person in the same age or with person we have known before. Generally this type of Javanese language is spoken by the common people in order to make the conversation closer each other. We will be regard as disrespect when we are talking with stranger by using jawa ngoko. So it is better not to use ngoko when we are talking to the stranger.
The use of this style of Javanese language is depend on the environment where the individual growing. The family where each of the individual use ngoko is often regarded has no respect to other person. Here is the example :
Ponirah lagi omong-omongan karo Rahayu, kancane.

Ponirah : Mbakyune Beja kae pira ta?
Rahayu : Loro.
Ponirah : O ... Beja anak nomer telu ta?
Rahayu : Dudu. Dheweke anak nomer papat .
Ponirah : Yagene?
Rahayu : Dheweke duwe kangmas siji .

The conversation above is done by a two close friends. The vocabulary is using the
numeral sign.
 loro : two
 telu : three
 papat : four
 siji : one
Beside that, grammatically ngoko is marked by affix di-, -e- ake, dak-, -ku, kok, and –mu. Ngoko dialect is more dominant and popular than the other dialect of Javanese language, especially kromo.
Actually ngoko can be classified again into some dialect; generally there are ngoko alus and ngoko lugu, it depends on the region of the place where this language is spoken. For example: 1. Adhi mangan sego.
mangan can be replaced by madhang or nguntal (very rude)
2. Kowe wis nggarap PR durung?
Kowe can be replaced by sampeyan (this Javanese pronoun is often use in suroboyo style, and rarely used in jogja style)

III. JAWA KROMO (KRAMA)
This Javanese language style is known as the highest rank, especially in krama inggil . Krama dialect is identically with the noble person in the Javanese palace, where the environment always keeps the politeness tradition by using this dialect.
The common people use krama when they are talking to the older person, or when we are talking to person who has higher position in office or institute. When a child cannot talk using karma to older person, people often said “bocah kok ra ngerti tata karma”. The krama dialect often use in Jogjakarta and Surakarta, in East Java they don’t apply this dialect. Krama biasa(K) and krama inggil(Ki) are depended on the person’s understanding when they use it. For example: 1. Adhi nedha sego.
nedha (K) can be replaced by dhahar when we are talking to our parent or with older age person.
2. Kulo badhe kesah teng sekolahan.
kesah (K) can be replaced by tindak (Ki).
krama dialect can be identified always using affix dipun-, -ipun –aken. Here is the example of conversation:
Wage lagi omong-omongan karo wong sing lungguh ing jejere ing bis.

Wage : Panjenengan gadhah putra pinten?
Beja : Anak kula gangsal . Kakung setunggal , estri sekawan .
Wage : Ingkang mbarep sampun kelas pinten?
Beja : Samenika kelas tiga SMA.
The conversation is done by two older men, talking about their children. The bold type is numeral vocabulary.
 gangsal : five
 setunggal : one
 sekawan : four
 tiga : three
The politeness level in Javanese is often identified with how good a person using krama dialect. We can mix K and Ki, depends on with whom we are talking to.
Now days, almost teenager can not speak with karma, they regard it as too formal, and cannot talking more closer when they have use krama to talk each other.

IV. THE DEVELOPMENT OF JAVANESE LANGUAGE
Long time ago, the traditional age, the use of Javanese language is very notified by all society. It is very different now, the use of Indonesia as the main language also one of the factors. People prefer to use bahasa Indonesia than Javanese to show to other that they come form the modern city. The other factor is that the teenager not concern with the Javanese culture, they prefer to play rock music, jazz music and other western culture than to play gamelan or singing macapat.
V. CONCLUSION
There should be all people, especially from Javanese, giving a lot of attention about the Javanese language. It can starts from the family first, where the parents should teach their children correctly about this language. The local government also take the role to save this language from endangered.

"The truth is that I have a bitter taste, because there were more difficult games than this," he was quoted as saying by El Pais before revealing that he was not in ideal shape for the game.

"Personally, I feel useless because I was not in a good enough physical state to be able to perform at my best. Collectively I think it was very good, but it cost us a lot to get the second goal, they got two in those four minutes and that settled it.

"I was not contributing anything to bother them so it was better that another player came in. I was tired. I believe I will be okay, now it hurts but I hope to make the [third place play-off] game, it's still several days away. We all hope to be well enough to play for third place. We are all very proud even though we lost." from Goal.com

Speaking in a press conference today, Bayern Munich striker Klose, who has four goals at the competition already, reckons that although Spain are superior to the teams that Germany have already vanquished, they remain beatable.

He said, “Spain are definitely better than England and Argentina. They are a fantastic team. I saw a replay of their match against Paraguay, and it revealed that Spain is not invincible, and not unstoppable.

“We can locate and exploit their weaknesses.”

Klose also added that the last meeting between the sides in that European final will have no bearing on the match on Wednesday.

He added, “You cannot compare the two games. The teams have changed, there are different players, and I think that we have improved considerably.”

Klose’s deadly double against the Albicelestes edged him onto 14 goals in World Cup competition, level with the legendary Gerd Muller and just one short of Brazilian Ronaldo’s all-time record of 15.
