Okay, so I could not write much during the last 5 days, because many unscheduled circumstances that have crept up during the last days. Mostly they have unwelcomed tests, and somemore things. But who wnats to know about me when the world cup goes on?
Seriously! It even looked like that Federer's mind during that opening match focused more on Switzerland's result then his serve!
World Cup has indeed sprung up many surprises, and many upsets, but the spirit and excitement only continues to rise. Like many, I was surprised at Portugal and Ivory Coast's draw. It seems that the Portugal coach had everything planned because then they thrashed North Korea 7-0.
Yes, it is sad for me that the African teams aren't making their presence felt with big upsets. It was sad to see Cameroon bow out so tamely, for they are the indomitable lions, and I think yet tht they shall come back stronger than ever in the next installment. Africa's largest bid was Ivory Coast, but as luck would have it, they have fallen into the trap of the Group of death. It hardly looks likely that they would be able to progress further, as they slumped to 1-3 loss against Brazil, and that they wouold score more than 5 goals against North Korea. But I am indeed hoping for that to happen!
Speaking of Brazil, if they continue to play thus, I am sure that they will beat everyone to the title.
Argentina are making sufficient spectacle, both on the pitch and the sidelines. Maradona has found the right combination for the multiple attack threats that they possess, but do look a little off without Mascherano. I do believe they go through well into the quarter-final. Secondly, i think i fancy Argentina to be a big contender now, and all-of-a-sudden, they seem to be playing the best.
i just saw england scrape through. Boy, would it have been great to see them out: would give them the nerve to buy a better manager. Come on, i mean it is obvious that Emile Heskey's partnership with Rooney upfront is stupidity. It is impossible. You put in Jermaine Defoe, and you know.... you get qualified.
I can't wait to watch tonight's match of Germany. They still are a dangerous side, but it would be sad to see Ghana lose out. I hope to see them both through.
So the world cup to sum up has been great, but I can't wait for it to become better.
