The world cup
Footbal, football, football, nothing but football.
The world cup kicked off on friday and i am loving it so far. It truly has been a fantastic tournament so far. Unfortunately the big teams have mostly won but the small teams have done themselves proud big time. Hopefully some of them will qualify for the next round. Brazil won today much to my chagrin, i am in a minority of people who think that they are overrated. They are a good team, infact they are a world class team but overrated and much hyped nonetheless.
Case in point was the match with Croatia today which they won 1-0. I am almost certain that the croats wish Davor Suker was still playing as he would surely have scored at least once. Each useful shot on goal they had was straight at the keeper and a tortoise would have saved them all as all he'd have to do was stand right where he was. Hopefully they will learn to shoot anywhere but straight at the keeper next time. The brazilians of course had chances but they didnt live up to the ridiculous hype that people have been going on about.
Trinidad & Tobago rock. Great result against the swedes and dwight yorke seems to have spent most of his career in the wrong position. I wasnt a big admirer of his when he played for ManUtd but it seems that i was sorely mistaken. My apologies dwighty.
England play on Thursday and i think they'll kick T&T's butt which will get everyone stupidly yapping away about how they are going to win the world cup. I think they have the individual players but not the team to win it. Sven for all his charms with the ladies is charmless when it comes to the beautiful game. Tactically he isn't very good IMO and i think the fact that England havent kicked any big nation's butt in his charge says it all.
And no, beating Germany 5-1 doesnt count as that was one of the worst german teams in the past few decades and besides it was a fluke result. A bit like when Chelsea beat ManUtd 5-0, great to see but will probably not happen if a rematch had taken place.
One last thing, i have never watched so much football in my life. Saturday and Sunday i was indoors all day watching football. Awesome, just awesome. It really was beautiful. The world cup is the dogs bollocks and this one is the best at least of the past 4. Football is more than just a game, its ..... beauty, art, passion, strength, committment...football is about emotions being dragged in a million directions at once. I love it.
