Very very disappointing and miserable . . .
I wanted the Asians to got through but they crashed out after penalty shoot-out, sigh~
Japan deserved to win, but oh well, tough luck, better luck next time!

And then I was rooting for Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal, they did well to create their chances and could have finished off a few goals, Spain too, they were very competitive. The Portugese goal keeper was fantastic, 10 good saves to keep Spain at the bay, but very unfortunately, David Villa shot was saved first time, but nothing could be done when the ball bounced back to Villa, and how well he took his 2nd chance, wonderful finish or cheap goal should I say?
Spain then slowed the game down, Portugal were desperate, and was hold on all the way till the final whistle . . . .

It's really a pity, shouldn't have met Spain in such an early stage of the World Cup, sigh!
Ronaldo is out of the World Cup, that's what I'm really sad about . . .

Oh well . . . At least Holland are still in, most importantly, lol.
And I believe that they will defeat Brazil.
GO HOLLAND!
This is your only chance!!!!

Holland will go all the way, have faith in them!

Last Round of 16
Holland 2 - 1 Slovakia

Netherlands v Slovakia

Brazil 3 - 0 Chile

Brazil v Chile

Maria | MySpace Video


Holland are through to the quarter finals and that's what I'm most happy about right now.
Robben came back from injury and starts the game, and banged in a fabulous goal, Dirk Kuyt unselfishly sets up Sneijder for a the very important 2nd goal. Why important because Holland keeper stupidly got himself a yellow card and concede a penalty in the last second zzz . . .
A win will be a win and Holland goes through smoothly in that sense, haha!

But after what Brazil did to Chile, surely there will be some fear . . . . But still, I have faith in Holland. They will go head to head in the quarter finals and I do hope Holland will sent the Brazilians packing . . .

Be fearless!
Fire all cylinders and do what you do best, I really think that Holland can go all the way.
I'll be satisfied enough if they can just make it to the grand finale. From there, I believe Holland can produce wonders and lift their first World Cup trophy and create history . . .

HOLLAND FTW !!!!!
WOO!

Tonight there will be another big match.
After the Paraguay v Japan game,
it will be Spain v Portugal !
GO CRISTIANO RONALDO !!!

The End of England

Last Round of 16
Germany 4 - 1 England

Germany v England

Maria | MySpace Video


Argentina 3 - 1 Mexico

argentina vs mexico

Moda | MySpace Video


England were literally torn apart . . . As Germany were class apart . . . Lol.
Speechless by the way Germany played and how awfully England performed.
Other then scoring from a set piece, having a fucking goal disallowed because of the pathetic linesman (Seriously fuck it), and having another Lampard shot off the bar . . . England did not really threaten the Nazis . . . They were just lousy . . . So many good players, with a good manager, but never did produce a good result, poof!

On the other hand, Germany had quite a different squad this time, no Ballack, no Frings, etc etc etc, as they were injured or too old, and they brought a young squad into this World Cup . . .
Surprise surprise, they were better than ever . . . Improved pace, a more intelligent and dynamic team that are capable of producing wonders. Serious contenders for the finals . . .
Well done, Germany, you're utterly respected by the way your Nation plays football, fantastic!
Their counter attack are almost unstoppable, well not by England, lol.

And Argentina with a much expected scoreline, beating the Mexicans 3-1.
Cheap goal to Tevez that was allowed surprisingly, dumb decisions by referees today --"
While that goal was debatable, Tevez smashed the debates by smashing a smashing shot that smashed Mexico out of the World Cup, lol.
Even Javier Hernandez's (Man United new youngster) goal that smashed the roof of the Argentinian goal was too little too late . . . Haha.

And so Germany defeat England and faces their next test, Argentina. Will they just barely survive or tear them apart or will Argentina be the ones running a riot?

So much to anticipate, especially tonight when Holland faces the team that knocked Italy out of the World Cup, Slovakia.
I wish for no surprises tonight lol, I'm confident that Holland will cruise pass and get into the quarter finals . . .

HUP HOLLAND HUP!
ALL THE WAY HOLLAND!!!

The only African team left survives...

LAST ROUND OF 16
Uruguay 2 - 1 South Korea

Uruguay v Korea Republic

USA 1 - 2 Ghana

ghana vs usa

Moda | MySpace Video


What a night it has been!
I was supporting South Korea and was happy when they got the equalizer and made it 1-1, but Luis Suarez struck a sublime winner in the 80th minute. A shot that curls passed everyone and passed the goal keeper, sigh!!!
South Korea are out, and Uruguay who are doing so well, got what they deserved, got into the World Cup quarter finals. . .

And they will face Ghana who beat USA 2-1, with 2 fantastic goals!
One early into the game when KP Boateng ran from all the way from the half way line and finished off in fantastic style!
Landon Donovan scored a penalty in the 2nd half, then USA kept pressurizing but couldn't breakthrough.
Then early into extra time, Gyan scored his 3rd goal of the World Cup, a superb finished, not a shout that Howard could save, poof!
And Ghana faces Uruguay in the quarter finals, wow. Either one of these teams are going to the semi finals, can they go all the way?

The answer is NO, cause Holland will be there to stop you, hohoho!

Anyway tonight is a big big night!
GERMANY takes on England!
I really hope for an english win here, although they haven't been in good form.
Some way and some how, I hope Rooney will find his form and give the Germans a good beating, lol.

And Mexico will be looking for revenge against Argentina who kicked them out of the World Cup in the last round of 16, 4 years ago . . . What a late and fantastic winner that was the goal of the tournament from Maxi Rodrigues, remember? Lol.

Quite a BORING match day zzzz . . .
You would expected alot more from Portugal and Brazil, but there were only violence in the first half with 7 yellow cards, and in the 2nd half Brazil played like pussy dogs, not wanting to attack, just keep holding the ball away from Portugal zzz, and ended up 0-0.
Both Brazil and Portugal advanced though . . . What a stupid game to anticipate, boo!

Should have watched Ivory Coast defeat North Korea instead. North Korea lost their determination I think lol . . . Better luck next time! For both teams, lol. If Ivory Coast were to be in another Group, they would sure do well.

Meanwhile Spain dominated Chile, could have scored more, but like Brazil, they were fucking boring, knowing that a win is enough, they played possession zzz . . .
And Switzerland could have overtook Chile if they defeat Honduras by 2 goals, but they did not take their chances, and ended up goalless . . .

So this is the group table after all 3 games!

Slovakia shocked the world with a big big win over Italy.
Italy were sloppy and un-organized and only woke up a little to late, lol. While the Slovaks played as a team, putting 3 goals passed the Italians is a great achievement, and getting to the 2nd round breaks the record! Most importantly was that, this is the best game of the tournament, maybe one of the best 3 moments.
Cause I only turned on the TV on the 60th min and it was only 1-0 to Slovakia, and shortly after that Slovakia got another goal 2-0, 5mins later, Italy pulled one back 2-1! And then on the89th minute, Slovakia substitude, only got his first touch of the ball to lob the Italian keeper 3-1! When you just thought it's all over, Italy's Quagliarella scored one of the goals of the tournament 2mins into injury time. Italy had another chance at the last seconds but failed to hit the target.
Plus all the shots from Italy that were missed, cleared of the line etc. Seriously, they should have played like this from the start.
And both World Cup finalist, France and Italy(Who are the defending champions), crashed out of the Group stage at the bottom of the table! Haha!

On the other hand, New Zealand may be going home, but they walked of the World Cup with
their heads held high, they were unbeaten and drew all 3 games, they were the least favourites next to North Korea but they showed resilience, they should have won Italy if it weren't for that cheap penalty. But well, decisions are stupid sometimes . . . And Slovakia who lost to Paraguay and drew against New Zealand, beats the world champions Italy and advances to the 2nd round only to face Holland, lol.
We'll eat you up!!!

Japan scored 2 fucking fantastic free kicks and played well to defeat Denmark with ease and advance to the 2nd round where they will face Paraguay.
And Holland defeats Cameroon and gained maximum points, while they have 0 points, lol.
HUP HOLLAND HOP !!!

Tonight is the night for the biggest group stage match . . .
Group G - Portugal v Brazil


Takecare while cycling hor!
Love you!
XOXO.

England finally got their first win in this World Cup and goes through to the 2nd Round after being top in Group C, NOT!!!!
It just took seconds before Landon Donovan scores inside injury to take USA to the top of the table, beating England by the amount of goals scored!
The shocking thing was the Slovenia was actually going to advanced too, but it just took a moment to dashed off their dreams, it's really a pity. . . But oh well, Slovenia should have scored one back, lol.

Germany and Ghana got through together even though Germany defeated Ghana, as Australia defeated Serbia 2 -1, and are still far away from beating Ghana's goal difference. Lol. Should Serbia just score one more goal and make it 2 - 2, Serbia will beat Ghana's goal difference and overtake them. So many possibilities, but these are the final outcomes, lol.

So it will be an interesting 2nd round as England takes on Germany!
While USA faces Ghana.

Tonight it will determine whether Italy goes through or not, and whether Denmark or Japan goes through with Holland.
Can't WAIT! (Again, lol)

Anyway, watched Toy Story 3 yesterday. And it was nice, maybe my pride is too big to say that it's very nice, lol. Cause it's a children show @_@
I swear I'll do tourism later =x

Last group games for Group A and B ended well and well bitter, lol.
Especially for France who lost 2 and draw 1 of their group games, fucking losers, and sore losers as the France coach refuse to shake the hand of the South Africa coach, lol.
Well, he made some ridiculous and stupid decisions like leaving Nasri and Benzema out, did not want to listen to the players suggestions, and leaving Evra on the bench, no wonder players fall out with him (He kicked Anelka out of the team eventually). Stupid dickhead, lol.

Uruguay defeated Mexico and tops Group A. Mexico goes through at 2nd place as they beat South Africa by goal difference. South Africa left the competition with bittersweet memories, they may be out but they beat the french finalist 4 years ago in their last game of this world cup.

In Group B, Greece defended well and counter attacked looking just for the one goal but they missed their chances, eventually, Argentina squeeze in a goal, then a second goal right at the death to seal the Greeks' fate . . .
The South Koreans drew against Nigeria and lucky for them, they go through with the help of Argentina defeating Greece.

England will face Group C's current number 1, Slovenia. And USA to face Algeria.
England needs to win, to go top, and at least a draw to have a chance to go through to the 2nd round. But if USA wins Algeria, England are out if they don't win. If Algeria wins and England don't, Algeria gets in. A very tense last matches of this group, can't wait!

Same for Group D, every team has a chance to go through.
REALLY CAN'T WAIT FOR TONIGHT, WOO!!!

Just came back from school after getting a form, I'll most likely be going to Guang Zhou this coming October, HOHOHO!!!
I just came back to bathe and change, meeting Felicia, Zicheng, and Sharon and Belle at Vivo soon~

Hahaha, updated late today =x
I just got my own laptop reformatted and I'm so happy that it's still usable, lol.

Anyway, all the teams in red won last night.
Particularly, PARTICULARLY, Portugal, who hammered 7 goals pass North Korea, smashing the record of their highest goals scored in a game which was previously just a 4-0 win over Poland at the last world cup in 2006. There were good goals, and a funny goal by Cristiano Ronaldo who has not score for Portugal for 2 years, lol!
North Korea who did so well against Brazil and did well too in the first half, ended up crashing out of the World Cup in such a miserable way, lol . . . Better luck next time!
And Portugal will face Brazil this friday . . . . The fight for first place! Can't wait~

In Group H, Chile won Switzerland and goes through to the 2nd Round with 6 points already.
Spain, in the late game, defeat Honduras and sent them home via 2 goals from David Villa. He scored a wonder goal but could have got a hat trick from the penalty spot which he missed terribly. . . .
Chile faces Spain on friday, and Spain would top the group if they score at least 2 goals and maintain a clean sheet. But if they draw, and Switzerland wins Honduras, Spain are out!

Here's the table so far, after all teams played 2 games.

Going to school tomorrow the fill in some form, lol.
Hopefully I can wake up . . . =x

Slovakia 0-2 Paraguay (Highlights)

Italy 1 - 1 New Zealand

Brazil 3 - 1 Ivory Coast

Brazil v Ivory Coast

In Group F, Paraguay won Slovakia and looks very likely to go into the 2nd Round and top the group as Italy drew against New Zealand 1-1. They were not even suppose to win, the fucking Italian dived and won the penalty. . . . It would have been a historical moment, although a draw against Italy already made history, lol.

Meanwhile in Group G, Ivory Coast could not handle Brazil's attacking flair, Luis Fabiano scored 2 very good goals, although he 2nd goal involved handling the ball but it still looks fantastic, like street style, lol! Kaka was brilliant who assisted Fabiano's first goal and Elano's 2nd goal in the competition. Drogba scored once but could not score any more than that.
And then it was stupid chaos, Kaka got a yellow card and seconds later, Kaka got another yellow and was sent off and to missed the game against Portugal, wtf --"
Fucking Ivorian cheats zzz . . .

Anyway, time flies and Belle is going home today already :\ . . .
Miss you~
XOXOXOXO!

I really have to do something on tourism already, lol =x

Wesley Sneijder came up with the break through with a powerful smashing ball, lol!
And glad that they defended well to keep the lead until the end . . .
HOLLAND ALL THE WAY !!!

Denmark sent Cameroon out of the World Cup with a great comeback after being a goal down and will face Japan next to determined who goes through to the 2nd round together with Holland from Group E~

Meanwhile in Group D, Harry Kewell was sent off for Australia against Ghana (Tim Cahill was sent off in the first game), and conceded a penalty, which Ghana took and equalized the game.
Australia looks to be heading out of the tournament, unless miracles happen, lol . . .

Ivory Coast pulled off a draw against Portugal,
how will they fare against the Brazilians tonight?
Stay tuned . . .

Wow... The German giants did so well against Australia but lost against Serbia.
Serbia are right back in the World Cup following the lost to Ghana, lol.

Slovenia v USA was the game of the day. Slovenia scored 2 goals in the first half, looking as if they're assured a place in the 2nd round but the States striked back twice in the 2nd half!
The team staring at danger is England who drew both their group games and face Slovenia next!

Well, Holland v Japan tonight, I don't think Holland will give Japan yet another fairytale Asian win, lol.
GO HOLLAND !!!

South Koreans played well but Argentina was wayyyy better @_@
Higuain scored a hat trick, Messi performed well but still have yet to score . . .
And Greece came back from 1-0 down to win Nigeria 2-1! And Nigeria would be heading home already, lol~

And then France, lost to Mexico, it was kinda expected, expected for them to be disappointing, just like Euro 08, lol. Anyway it was Mexico's first ever win over France, and what an achievement that was. Mexico and Uruguay looks to be heading into the 2nd round while France and South Africa are going to say an early goodbye to the World Cup!

Will England be disappointing again tonight?
Lol, we'll see . . . . . . . .

Belle will be here till monday~

Shock of the World Cup, Switzerland 1 - 0 Spain. Shame on the players that are from Barcelona, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Valencia and Sevilla, they were playing against a Swiss team which I don't really know where the players come from, lol! Switzerland defended well and counter attacked when given the chance and did not waste the chance. Whereas, Spain, had 24 shots and 8 on target, they had over 70% of possession, they had all the stars, but couldn't score lol . . .
I guess many lose money in this game =x

Honduras and Chile was as boring as it sounds, lol zzz...

Meanwhile, back to Group A in the 2.30am game, Diego Forlan was the main man for Uruguay, such an important figure throughout, he not only scored a freaking nice goal, he conducts the team well, scoring a penalty late in the game, and even later after that, he gave one good long ball from the left to right flank in which the player crosses into the penalty box for a striker to score a 3rd goal for Uruguay.

Tonight's big game would be at 7.30pm, where South Korea take on Argentina!
And Belle is coming to my house to stay over :)
