goodbye champions

in 2010, they won the World Cup. in 2008 and 2012, they won the Euro Cup. in 2014, they are eliminated from the World Cup at the earliest stage.. the group stage. it looks like the golden era of Spain is slowly disappearing. as a fan of Spain for 12 years now, i feel really sad and sorry for them. then again, their performance this time round wasn't really good enough to be deserved a spot in the top 16. well, one of my two teams is out. one remains.. Germany. let's hope they will go on to be champion.

okay, i not it is not really nice to make fun of any country names but that is pretty creative.. so much so i had to share it via a blog post title. if you are clueless, the word obviously comes from the Portugal. unfortunately, Portugal lost last night to Germany with a nightmare 4-0. poor performance leading to poor results. one man cannot carry a national team forever.

the first disappointment was Pepe's straight red card after a mini headbutt incident. pretty silly thing to do especially when his initial foul on a German player was overlooked. his temper has made him a regular ticking time bomb.. easily manipulated. Muller was just smart. next disappointment was Nani's performance. bad passes, bad dribbling, bad shots. no excuses.. bad.

credit to Germany's Muller.. he was exceptional brilliant throughout his play time. nonetheless, the game was still an exciting one with numerous dramas and what not.. if you are interested to see the highlights, here it is..

i got the fever

come people, don't be disappointed. it is just the World Cup fever. of course many of my posts will be related to it. technically, i will only talk about those matches that i actually watch.

yeah who cares my body clock is slowly getting screwed up. the excuse of "it happens once every four years" can still be used here.. haha. midnight? 3am? 6am? so long it is a big match i will watch. thank goodness my work as private tutor tend to always start from afternoon onwards so i can catch a little extra beauty sleep in the morning.

for those ignorant readers out there, World Cup fever will last until middle of July so yeah.. that's about it and now i shall prepare myself for yet another big match.. Germany VS Portugal.
