la-la-la
SAD SAD SAD!!
England lost to portugal yday!
they had a very good chance of winning.. but when rooney, the strong striker who could've brought england through was sent off with a red card, it spelt D.O.O.M for england.
but they played on with all their might, with 10 men on the field, fighting bravely against the portugese.
hell, it was such an interesting match!
i thought england was better than portugal, considering
(a) they had 10 men on the field to pit against 11 BUT they played like they had 11 or even 12 men to fight the battle
(b) their crucial and significant star player was sent off, which gave portugal the advantage
(c) they could keep up with portugal's pace and defended ever so amazingly
it was a match i felt that england was good. they weren't a disappointment at all. with becks off the field, they were still able to play so well. at least i could see their drive.
SAD SAD SAD, TOTALLY SAD!
andd when crouch was summoned up and joe cole had to made way for him, i knew it was a match i couldn't watch without getting angry. yess, i knew very well what crouch "is capable of". he's actually quite useless, losing all the balls passed to him, killing all of england's chances to score. i thought england can make do without a player like him. dont tell me about his headers which helped england through. i can tell you, he loses more scoring chances than he scored with his headers. trust me, he's quite useless on the pitch. that explains why he's a bench player.
i couldn't reason why lampard and gerrard weren't performing on the pitch. they still haven't shown their capabilities in this WC, and its over for them.
england had worst records in penalty shoot-outs, as said by the commentator. and only yday i knew this. it reminded me of the anguish i felt either in the euro or WC 2002 (i couldn't remember), when england was also defeated in the penalty shoot-outs.
it will be an apparent victory for england had it not been the penalty shoot-outs and rooney's sent off. i am certain if rooney had remained in the game, england could have won, beating the portugese. stupid C. Ronaldo. i dislike him now. and i hope portugal loses their next match, which is highly possible, with their opponents being French.
speaking of this.. as if it wasn't enough for england's defeat. brazil had to lose to france!!! world champions lehh!! how can! alot of bao4 leng3 in this WC, if u know wad i mean. initially my siblings, bei and i thought it'll be England Vs Brazil in the semi-finals. but, no. it's the other 2 teams which got through!
but i must say the french played well. and they deserve to win. but i thought they weren't that close to winning the world champions. it proved to be WRONG. anything can falter. even the superbly strong Brazil had this day coming-DEFEAT. i think france has a very high possibility of winning the cup this time. they are really good. because, it wasn't as if the brazilians played badly yday, so you can see how good is france. credits owed to zidane. he's definitely the man of the match. way to go france! beat the portugese!
i tell you, i was so sad yday. so sad til i cried. i couldn't accept the fact that england had lost. cos i thought they were really good, and they deserve a place in the semi-finals. hai.. sad lar!!
p.s. thanks bei for comforting.
