mercredi, juillet 05, 2006  What an amazing match. I initially switched on the telly to just watch amazing soccer, but as the match went on, I found myself rooting for Germany for some reason. Could have been because their coach amused me (and he's pretty easy on the eye as well.)The pace! The amazing pace! Did you see those one-touch passes? Those passes that Singapore never manages to string together? Gorgeous, beautiful teamwork there. The footwork, the dancing! Did you see the tango that these men weave as they tiptoe their way through a sea of sweaty soccer players? Beautiful, wondrous ballet. The saves, the saves, THE SAVES. Did you not see that save by the Italian GK as he almost casually flicked that blistering attempt by [enter player name here]? The slow-motion replays caught it, and his hands were fast, even in slow-mo! The SAVES. Wow. And oh, the tears. 119th minute, and 120th minute - what could be more devastating than that? Two minutes away from what would have been a shoo-in for Germany to the World Cup finals, and there it was, *checks names* Grosso and del Piero (sub 104') slam them in successively in two minutes. Germany pushed in that one minute, but as I was SMSing Peng, the Italians seemed to want it more. I'm very happy for Italy, because they really, really worked very, very hard to get there, and I think that their goals were hard-earned and well-bought. But oh, my heart breaks for the Germans - you could see the stadium, the fans, the players... the shock and disbelief on their faces. Could we have another upset tomorrow night, and wind up with a strange Italy-Portugal final? It's another sleepless night tomorrow as we all find out together. Beautiful game. [Italy 2, Germany 0] |
