World Cup 2006
On noo... England and Brazil lost in their quarterfinal matches. What's going on with the English team? They're supposed to be the better team because the Portugese were without their influential players, Deco and Constinha. I have to admit that, overall, the Portugese deserve to go to the next round because they were the better team from the beginning. I am so dissapointed with the English team. But I have to give them credit for holding Portugal till the penalty shoot out after Wayne Rooney was sent off and David Beckham had an injury in the second half. I think England played better without Rooney when he was sent off. I also think all the English players did not play a very good game. They had so many missed passes. Their passes seemed to end up at the Portugese team. Their tactic making only one striker did not go that well. But I think the best players on the English team would be Owen Hargreaves and Aaron Lennon. Owen was impressive in halting the Portugese attack while Lennon, after replacing Beckham, helped greatly in England's attacks. Their midfielders like Frank Lampard and Steven Gerard, and striker Rooney and especially Peter Crouch did not contribute much.. Anyway congrats to Portugal. You deserve it.. To England do better next time. I will always support you.
I didn't watch the match between Brazil and France because I was really accidently overslept after the England's game. I thought I could wake up when the match started. Well, I couldn't. But I don't want to watch the replay because I know the result already. And I don't want to add more pain of seeing Brazil, being both number one in the FIFA world ranking and seed in World Cup 2006, dumped out of the World Cup.
The semifinals matches will be Germany vs Italy and Portugal vs France. And obviously I hope that Italy, my only hope, will win the match and finally win the World Cup. Go Italy. Now I will some more needed rest because the semifinal will start on Wednesday.
Wimbledon Open
Venus Williams lost again.. No.. Andre Agassi, playing his last game before he retires, and Andy Roddick also lost. But I still one more hope left. Hope Rafael Nadal wins his next match and finally win the Wimbledon Open.
