WORLD CUP 2010

It has been a thrilling 2 weeks of non-stop footy fever all over the world. Footy fans go crazy supporting their country and cheering on to their favourite stars. This World Cup had by far the most surprises and history created. Giants and world favourites being knocked out in the first round. Italy, my team defending champs drew with New Zealand?? France, the team went on a strike after Nicola Anelka was sacked from the team for verbally abusing the head coach which eventually resulted to a disgraceful loss that sent them bottom of the group. The 2 South American giants Brazil threw away a comfortable 1-0 lead and was ousted by the Oranje and Argentina thrashed with no chance to respond from a formidable young Germany squad. England sad to say my second favourite team scored only 2 goals. No, wait 3.. 1 from their own keeper Robert Green. Which cost me my bet!

New footy legends have been made while heroes faltered. Messi the footballer of the year didn't manage to score a single goal. Same goes with Rooney, Lampard.. he did score but it was disallowed which led to the demise of the match. Torres had yet to net in a single goal. Cristiano Ronaldo the 'peacock' did but only against North Korea. Why 'peacock'? Well, to me besides his undeniably great footballing skills.. he's just like a male peacock prancing around throwing tantrums when he doesn't get things his way. Sorry fans of Ronaldo I am just writing the obvious you guys should know I am telling the truth.

However, new records and history made congrats to the Asian teams Japan, South Korea, North Korea all did really well and put up a really tough fight against the favourites. Especially Japan who made it to the second round for the first time I think if I am not wrong. African nations Ghana made it thru until the quaters. Great run!

More history in the making as we await for this Sunday's finals. It is already history being made as this is the first time ever for Spain to reach the finals. Well done! 2 more matches and its the end of an enthralling 2 weeks of football fever and we return to our daily lives and loved ones.

I really do hope, wish and pray for mine to be in respond to a tweet I gotten during these 2 weeks of footy action. :)

All the best SPAIN & NETHERLANDS!!
