España son los campeones...

So Spain were crowned the 2010 FIFA World Cup Champion on Monday's morning, by beating the Dutch by 1-0.
I'd been watching the Spanish and Dutch played until 5 a.m. After 90 minutes, the game went into extra time. I thought there will be a penalty kick-off to determine the winner. That was until Iniesta scored at the 26th minute of extra-time.
Spain won, the Dutch had to settled second. They claimed that the referee was unfair. You can see from their expressions when they walked to claimed the silver medal.

On the third and fourth place, Germany beat Uruguay by 3-2. Yes they managed to get 3rd again. Work hard for the 2014 Rio de Janeiro... Congratulations to Uruguay and Germany again because Forlan (Uruguay) won the Golden Player and Mueller won the Golden Boot and Best Young Player.
Everyone get a consolation prize even if your not the big winner.

Semi-Finalist all over again...

So Germany had a slight lost against Spain this morning...! Spain won 1-0 over Germany and I'm definitely furious... Because the Germans are the semi-finalists again after 4 years!
What made me really angry is that they seem to be a little coward at yesterday's match. If you watch the replay of Germany against England or either Argentina, you can see the 'spirit' inside them. When I watched this morning's match, it seems that the Germans are too cautious and do not dare to strike.
Without Mueller, Germany seem to lost their directions!
On the 3rd place battle between them and Uruguay, please do all their best to maintain the runner's up position.
A small advice to Germans, call 'H' for Hiddink to coach for the next European Championship...!

Semi Finals to Finals...

Early morning's match between Netherlands and Uruguay saw the Dutch finally qualified for the finals... It means, if they do not win, they still have a runner's up place. Everyone (even me) thought that the Dutch could never survive this far and think they may be going back to their country (there was a Chinese saying that means going back to your ancestor's country, if you know which saying that I'm talking about)
A big congratulations to Dutch for getting into the finals!

At 2 morning tomorrow, there will be a match between Germany and Spain. The Germans are fighting for their lives to book a place in the finals. All my best for Joachim Loew and team!!! Hope they'll take their revenge on the Spainish...


Hope this expression on his face will appear... All the best, Klose, and also the other players!

A Big Win (and Loss)...

So the big match between Argentina and Germany has finally over. Still, 4 years later, Germany remains the better one. Argentina's dream of bringing the World Cup back to their country was over...!
How does it happened? On the 3rd minute, it was 'Mueller's Show' that made Argentina lost the spirit... I can see that they did tried to fight back on the 2nd half, until Podolski passed the ball to teammate Klose and he just tapped the ball into the goal. There, Germany lead by 2-0. Argentina haven't give up that easily... However a goal on the 74th minute sent a sign to Argentina that it's over...
Probably many of us thought that it ended at 3-0. Klose's last minute goal at 89th minute ended the match by 4-0.
Congratulations to Klose because this match was his 100th for his country. In total, he scored 14 goals, that was just 1 behind Ronaldo. At the 2010 World Cup, he scored 4 goals, a goal behind Spain's David Villa. If he managed to score 2 or above, the Golden Boot is definitely his.

成名的理由。。。

若你要一举成名,那可以学一学本届的世界杯新进球员。从一名小萃至现在人人都认识的英雄。那些‘名牌’球员,表现真的不及他们啦。这几位仁兄分别是;
1。本田圭佑(日本)
2。Mesut Ozil(德国)
3。Luis Surez(乌拉圭)
4。Thomas Mueller(德国)

他们赛后如何呢?除了Mueller之外,其他三位都被英超俱乐部看中,欲买起他们。身价也随着漂涨。
祝他们事业一路顺风。。。!

A Long Awaited Game...

I was happy to know when Germany and England are qualified for the top 16. But when I found out that they're battling each other, it is going to be a 'termination' game...
I'm a supporter of both countries. I don't know which country I'll be supporting (the true is I'm keen to Germans).
Last night proved to be a great game... Probably because Klose was back in the game! And yes, he was the 'knight' that won the 'war'... Goalkeeper James of England didn't have a chance to stop it. Next up, Podolski was in action. Making Germany as the lead by 2-0. England did fought back (still, it's not strong). Matt Upson knocked the ball into England's goal, making them near to the German by 2-1. England almost/nearly had a chance to equalise the points. Lampard's goal went into goal line until German goalkeeper caught the ball. It means this goal is null...
The story has not done yet... That Klose-Podolski and Lampard's near score was on the 1st half. At the 2nd half, youngster Mueller scored twice at the 67th and 70th minute, ending England's dream of winning the World Cup. Kudos to the young players from Germany! Most of us would think, without Ballack, Germany's going nowhere. However, it's a big mistake to think like that. They are going to bring their country to the finals.
We won't be seeing the England's star players 4 years from now. I felt sad for the England team and this has left a regretting memory for them.

On the other game, Argentina won 3-1 over Mexico with 2 goals from Tevez and one from Higuain. As usual, Messi didn't stand a chance to score. Work harder...!

The next match is the one that I wouldn't want to see... Germany vs. Argentina...

Out of the game...

It was a devastating news to hear Nicolas Anelka was kicked out from the France team due to a news that was leaked, saying that Anelka was insulting coach Domenech. Sad news... Everyone will be missing Anelka. France are definately are going back this week...
What really happened? According to French captain Evra, there is a 'traitor' that leaked this news to the media... Who's the suspect?

On the other news, I can't really believe that Portugal enjoyed a magnificent victory against North Korea, winning 7-0. Finally, 'hero' of the Portugal team scored a point...

Hits, Misses and Failures at the 2010 FIFA World Cup...

I never thought this year's World Cup would be so... dramatic? Interesting? Out of prediction? Whatever...

Argentina: The won 1-0 over Nigeria. I'm happy for them but still not satisfied... All the shots that Messi made, scored none... By right, it should be 4-0.

England: I didn't see Steven Gerrard coming from behind at the 4th minute. What made me furious about this match was that Robert Green let the ball slipped through his hands and went straight in, making them to have a draw with US. To Capello, change your goalkeeper or pack your bags...

Germany: Yeah! Podolski and Klose are the heroes! It was them that score 2 goals on the 1st half. And youngster Mueller and Cacau made Germany a true champion on the 2nd half. Can Klose get the Golden Boot again?

Japan: I didn't put Japan on the prediction. Don't underestimate them.

World Cup 2010...

Yeah! It will be starting on 11th, this Friday...

Who will win? No one knows...
Still, we have to predict which are the countries that have big chances...

1. Italy (again?)
2. Germany (yeah, they SHOULD win. 4 years ago they were the bridesmaid)
3. Argentina (they have Messi on the team, big chance...)
4. England (no David Beckham, chances dropped...)
5. Portugal (can Cristiano Ronaldo make it?)
6. Spain

Maybe all the 6 teams above will not make it into the top 16. Just maybe...!!!
