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

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

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

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.

So as it stands...

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!

Italy are OUT!

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
