take-u-away

I wasn’t much of a soccer fan until the recent world cup. Caught the first match on channel 5, and developed a small liking for it, especially Germany’s actions.

After they were defeated by italy, i looked on for other teams, and what caught my attention was France. Mainly because there’re more well-know players, and with names easier to remember, such as Zidane, Henry, Viera, etc.

I preferred zidane more, for his coolness. Cos usually when someone scores a goal, they’ll usually celebrate it with some flamboyant actions, but not with zidane, at least in the world cup final and semi-finals, other matches i don’t know. He just walked off like nothing happened!

I support Italy in the final match at first, but after a while, i tend to side with the french more. Their actions are more offensive and they live up the game. Italy’s defence is fortified but not as interesting.

Then, the moment came when zidane head-butted marco materazzi. Hey, i think that was cool, acting the way you feel and not suppressing it.

Googled zidane and went to his site, hmm…. he looks good at the front page.

It’s in french, so i don’t get much info from there, except the pics. Nice logo too.

Just finish watching the World Cup Semi-final on channel 5 -> Germany vs Italy.

At the very last minute of the extra time, Glosso (Italy) managed to got a shot pass the defence of Germany into the left side of Germany’s goal. It’s a beautiful shot, truely, at the very critical timing, 119th minute. And while Germany is desperately trying to get a shot for the Italy goal post, at the 120th minute, Italy took hold of the opportunity and Del Piero got a clear shot whisking into the Germany goal post. That’s it for Germany.

The match was a good one, both teams played very well. Germany has been quite offensive and Italy was holding tight for his defence. However, Italy still fared better, and its occasional offensive attacks were more effective and dangerous.

Well done, and good game!
