} bend it like Forlan

the Netherlands vs Uruguay match was actually SURPRISINGLY really exciting!! and the first 2 goals were long shots which is my favourite kind of goal 8) just so amazing to see the ball sailing through the air in a curve... missing the tips of the goalie's fingers by centimeters... and hitting the net and the camera like goes all shaky. AWESOME

uruguay fought bravely and i found myself on their side even though they unfairly cheated ghana out of the running. that literal last minute goal was just a stunning moment. STUNNING! and everyone was really hopeful they would equalise. but no... but its ok because uruguay still emerged the heroes. (FORLAN!)

the germany-spain match which was so highly anticipated, was such a sleepfest. boring first half, boring second half and 15 seconds of excitement when the goal was put in. it WAS a fantastic header i have to say, but i really really hate spain's way of playing. :|

i think spain succeeded in slowing germany down (maybe they were put to sleep too) but then again germany wasn't playing well either. the thing about being an England fan is that you kinda learn that a team is usually condemned to jinxation after it gets a lot of hype. :/ and also i suppose germany was never ALWAYS on top of their game, everyone kind of ignored the 1-0 loss to serbia. like 4 years ago, after a stellar performance, germany just faltered at the semis. and like 2 years ago, they lost 1-0 to spain. :| i duno....maybe this is England's and Argentina's combined curse, man.

i still thought germany had a seriously good chance of winning it this year though.. in the next 4 years, they won't nearly be the 'young' team that they are now. i just hope they'll gain more maturity without losing their inspiredness.

i hope netherlands beats spain because if i have to watch another 1-0 win by spain i might just tear my hair out.
