carpe diem

On the way back from Tioman, we stopped over Ayer Keroh to watch WorldCup. During the intense match I was oblivious to my surrounding, then I realised that I was the only one cheering for Germany loudly surrounded by a bunch of staunch England supporters. I survived the night without getting myself beaten up or at least I didn’t end up walking home, considering on how annoying I was mocking on Beckham and England non-stop all the way till we reached KL. ;-)

As I predicted, England lost to Germany and the result was… bad. It’s 4-1, okay granted that there should be another goal for England, but for some reason nobody saw it until the TV replayed the slow-motion shot. But anyway, England still lost the game as predicted. They depended too much on that pretty boy Beckham, sick of that fella lah… even the cameramen stopped showing his presence at the bench and focused on Mick Jagger instead :-) Rooney couldn’t do the job, keeps toppling over like a girl even when nobody was tackling him. Silly game by England and their defense was terrible. It’s their fault but as usual, the English newspapers and commentators were blaming on Capello… duh. Anyway, they can try again in 2014.

My next prediction was that Argentina will meet Germany for Quarter-Finals and true enough, they will this coming Saturday after they beat Mexico 3-1 that same night. I was already at Hartamas when Argentina played but too tired to stay until Mexico scored, left the place after Tevez’s superb score that gives Argentina that winning goal.

My focus now is on Brasil and last night’s match with Chile although they won 3-0, I was a bit disappointed with their strikers and Kaka’s performance. It should’ve been at least 4-0. Anyway, tonight it will be Spain vs Portugal and it will be an interesting match to watch. Both teams are really good and it’s difficult to tell who will win. Whatever it is, the winner will be meeting Brasil on next match.

With England already packing their bags to go home sulking… Brasil, Argentina and Spain looks promising. Argentina’s fate will depend on how they perform against Germany tonight. As for me, it will be another row of sleepless week, developing Panda eyes.
