WORLD CUP SHOCKER

Brazil 0-1 France. I guess Zizou isn't gonna have such an early retirement after all. The We Hate France club membership has just increased by 100mil, thanks to all the Brazil fans (and i'm including those bandwagon jumpers who support Brazil just cos they won the previous World Cup). I knew Brazil wasn't gonna win this year. but i did not expect France, of all countries, to kick them out. Let's see, Ronaldinho was such a major disppointment and did not perform during the Brazil matches. I don't think people should criticise Ronaldo, at least he has 3 goals to his name, as compared to Ronaldinho's 0. As for the defeat, i guess i'll blame the coach for not fielding more of the younger players, Robinho for example.

Henry's winning goal.

Anyway, i totally did not want to talk about France at all cos i'm still pretty sore over them kicking my beloved Spain out. now when people ask me who i support, my answer's Germany. no i dont exactly support them i just want them to win the World Cup. my heart willl always be with Spain.. heh. Die, France, die!

I want to talk about the England vs Portugal match actually. England has done everyone a favour and are finally out. Frank Lampard is really suay, man. he had another 3 missed shots on goal and 1 missed during the penalty shoot out. Gerrard and Carragher missed too, or rather, their efforts got blocked by the Portugese goalie, Ricardo. wow, he's damn good ok. better then Zuberbuhler. Only Hargreaves' shot managed to find the net.

Lampard's shot saved by Ricardo.

So is Gerrard's.

Hargreaves presents a glimmer of hope for England.

I commend England for being able to hold out for 2hours with just 10 men. Hot headed Rooney never learnt how to control his anger. After stomping on Carvalho, which would only give him a yellow card, he made matters worst by shoving Cristiano Ronaldo away, thus leading to him getting a direct send-off.

I welcome C. Ronaldo with open arms to join Real Madrid. Isn't it pretty obvious already? he's leaving Man U, definitely. The signs are there. First, there's the rumours of him leaving. Then, there's the falling out with his team mate. I bet you next, probably after the World Cup, he's gonna have a disagreement with Ferguson. All these happened to Beckham and Van Nistelrooy and subsequently, they left Man U.

Well, even if England got to the next round, they couldn't have defeated France with key players like Rooney and Terry out of the picture. its all Eriksson's fault (yeah, blame the coach again), for only including 3 strikers, and with Owen injured, he was only left with Rooney and Crouch. and 17-year-old Theo Walcott just wasted a a space on the Engalnd squad.

Now its up to Portugal to avenge Spain.
