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.

the irony

today is a Sunday.. a weekend where most average people would sleep in for one last day before head on back to the long five weekdays again. nonetheless, that wasn't me this morning. woke up before 6am to catch the World Cup match between England and Italy.

well if you think i'm crazy, so be it.. haha just so you know such world event and such excitement comes only once every four years so why not? anyway, back to the game i guess England lost thanks to the fact that they did not make use of any of their set pieces. they were rewarded many corner kicks and free kicks but somehow or rather they just did not make use of it.. at some points in time they just literally throw their chances away.

in the end, the game ended with a win for Italy at 2-1. here is the most memorable moment of the game in case you are interested..

haha.. cute and funny at the same time.. probably a little pity as well. that dude on the stretcher is the England's physio. how ironic.. his job is to assist the England players recover from injury fast and what not but yet he got injured. well, you don't get to see that often.. one would normally see players being stretchered out not a staff. anyway, apparently, he got injured while celebrating England's goal to level the game at 1-1. dislocated ankle. sad sad dude.. hope he gets well soon.
