World Cup Fever . .
Finally i am able to catch the world cup, coz since the start of it i have not been following it too closely due to the fact that i did not subscribe to it and also because i work the very next day.
Today finally, with some co-ordination from Richard, i finally had a taste of the world cup fever although its pretty late as in its the quater-finals but nevertheless, its was an enjoyable feeling.
Wow, its astounishing to see people gathering at places where the matches are being screened.
Everyone was simply glued to the set, some even went early to "chop" place for a good view of the game. Coz Macdonald was packed when we went there, which was like 1 hr before the Germany vs Argentina match. The things people would do to catch the world cup. hehe.
its exactly 11pm and the game was off, the game was pretty much boring in the first half until argentina score with a header from ayala. 100% determination which was what richard say when he scored the opener.
thats when the game finally started to open up a bit and both the sides were exchanging attacks.
and finally, Germany did scored to tie the game at 1-1. And we had to go into overtime and also penalty shootout to decide the winner of this quater-final.
Eventually, it was the Germans that won this quater-final and booked themselves in the semis.
but what was really interesting is that we were discussing the tactics the managers were using, the history of each player and how the players should have played their game like we were some sort of soccer gurus . . hee :) truly enjoyable.
soccer matches has to be watched together with frens . . its so much interesting.
ok thats all for tonites report, i just had to write this here . . sorry if u ain't a soccer fan, just bear with me la . . hee
ok, time to head for dreamlands :) my eyes can barely open now, hee.
and i was indenting to watch the 3 am match as well . . kinda over-estimated myself.
oh ya, today we had our saf-day re-dedication parade. Singing the nation anthem as well as saying the saf pledge did bring back some memories from yester years.
ok enuff crap and time to zzZZZzZZZZzzzz .. . nites folks :)
