Germany will win it

another soccer/world cup post. i know some of you getting sick of soccer already. BUT, i will never get sick of soccer. although all my favorite teams are gone.

see, i watch soccer because i love the game. not because of some certain handsome guys. they are just bonus-es to spruce up my gatal-ness mwahahahahaha...!!! and getting eye-candy is not at all forbidden, right? hehehehe...!!!

anyway, back to the quarters. we saw lots of upsets, didn't we? mana brazil kalah ngan netherlands. mana argentina kalah ngan germany.

i wanna write up my own match analysis, can?

Uruguay vs Ghana

Uruguay had Diego Forlan. That says everything. That guy is revered in Atletico Madrid okay. Never mind if he was a flop when he was signed for Manchester United eons ago. Ghana was just unlucky lah. A penalty given at 120 min, and it had to go and hit the crossbar. They didnt master the Jabulani, me thinks. If that penalty was spot-on, Uruguay would have said bye-bye. But alas, the one who got more penalties got to go into the semi-finals. So, bye the pride of Africa. Next time. Congrats Uruguay!

Netherlands vs Brazil

Brazil had everything going for this game. Netherlands was nowhere in their bracket of standard. They were supposed to evoke terror once the 1st whistle went off. But when they were suppose to get another goal, what did they do? Played sloppishly and VIOLENTLY. They said Arjen Robben made meals out of every tackle. They should re-look their tapes. It was a miracle that Arjen Robben came out of the game in one piece.

Well, Brazil cracked under pressure. They let their tempers run high. And I blame Dunga, their coach - for that. He was like a mental case by the sidelines. Bapak borek anak rintik lah kan? Netherlands kept their cool and credits to them, it was a match worth celebrating. Congrats Netherlands! *and i love wesley sneijder. heh* And please, i hope Robin Van Persie

is not going to be fielded for the semis. He is very lousy. Like, very lousy tahap gaban punya. 

Argentina vs Germany

What went wrong for Argentina? Meh sini akak bilang. They were not really tested before this. They were against really weak teams during the group and round of 16 stages. yes, they had Lionel Messi. A really, really talented player. but apart form Messi, what else do they have? A VERY SLOPPY DEFENCE.

and this was where Germany won it. Koyak rabakkan dorang punyer back four. Gabriel Heinze and his team of defenders were exposed. And Germany has a really young strong team. They are here to play football, just football. No complaints, no excuses. Even when they were tackled, they get back on their feet and continue on play. Takde byk songeh. And that is discipline. Germany 4 Argentina 0 is not a small feat okay? Argentina were humiliated. Take a bow Germany. You were marvellous. Congrats Germany!

Paraguay vs Spain

And I thought the upsets will continue on. Not that I hate Spain, but I love Paraguay more. Diligent and they've got nothing to lose. They have never advanced further than the group stage in their previous World Cup outings. So to see them here in the quarter-finals is really refreshing. *and it helps that MY Roque Santa Cruz is playing for Paraguay. heh.*

I blame the messy refree for the outcome of this match. Spain was not worthy of the win, I must say. It was the most boring quarter-final match. They are the European Champs for goodness sakes. They could have easily bilis Paraquay so early in the game. But no, they had a very not fit Torres upfront. David Villa was shutdown-ed. It was a lucky 1 gol win, actually. But anyways, Congrats Spain.

Now for the semi-finals. Lemme do the predictions.

Uruguay vs Netherlands

Tough. Match could go either way. But I'll put my money on Netherlands (not literally lah, i dont gamble okay). Just don't play that Robin van Persie.

Germany vs Spain

Argentina was exposed and was streamrolled with 4 goals. If Spain played with Germany the way they played with Paraguay, THEY ARE ASKING FOR TROUBLE. 4 goals might be too little for the mighty Germans.

I put my money on Germany for this one.

Finals? Netherlands vs Germany. And I say Germany wins it. I was never a fan for Germany. Never ever. But this is the classiest Germany side I've ever seen since I started watching soccer in 1994. They have it in them to win it. World Cup 2010 will be Germany's.

Let's see if this turns true! Hehehehehe...!!

ilal liqaa'...!!
