Viva La Espana

Ole Ole Ole..Que Viva Espana.
I’m beyond happy. For the 1st time ever, Spain has won the world cup, 2010 World Cup. This is hard to repeat. I’m super glad. I guess the whole Spain is filled with joyous tears. The feeling is just like what I had 2 years ago when they’ve won the 08 Euro Cup. But it’s a bit different. I think they deserved to win it, well of course I would say that, I’m their huge fan. =]

They have lost their opening match against Swiss, I was sad that time as lot of people hammered me with negative thoughts about them. And now that they have won the cup, I couldn’t stop smiling. I could do the same to them but I’m not one of them. Don’t let us be like them. That’s what I learn in my life.
If people talk bad about you, strike you with hate words, don’t bother to avenge on them. They’re not worth it. In fact, it will make you look just like one of them. Don’t let that happen, you’re way too high for them.

This is FIFA. You can complaint all you want but the winner is still Spain. Winning or losing is a tradition in every match. Even though I was not satisfied with how the game went, you know too many cards.
If I’m not mistaken, there were 13-14 yellow cards with one red card followed after 2nd yellow card being shown to Heitinga.

Howard Webb was indeed a pain in the ass as he made quite number of mistakes here and there but for the Dutch to put blame on him is ridiculous.
Their behaviour was intolerable. They have played rough. I think Webb was being lenient enough not to send De Jong with his karate-kid on Alonso.
But come to think of it, it was wise decision as I think that was not intentional, so only yellow card is being shown. However for Heitinga 2nd yellow card, it was not supposed to be like that.

I think Webb is bias. He looks like he was on Spain’s side. It’s good for a Spain’s supporter, but it was hard to swallow as well seeing the Dutch is getting furious by his actions. I know it was hard to handle both teams that have the possibility of cheating. I know why Dutch were furious after Heitinga was sent off. But you know this is football.

I’m glad that both Arsenal players were on the pitch although Cesc came late but he was sure to spice things a bit with great shots but still couldn’t score. But thanks to him Iniesta scored the beautiful goal.
For Robin Van Persie (RVP), it’s like there’s no sign of him on the pitch. It felt like the Dutch didn’t want to pass to him.

Hurmm whatever it is, the result is still Spain 1-0 Holland. I’m still glad that Spain has won it. Casillas is indeed still one of the good goalkeepers in the world. This has made my day.

Congrats to Spain for the 1st time being crowned as World Cup Champion and for the FIFA fair play award.

Congrats to Thomas Muller (Germany) for the Golden Boot and Young Player award.

Congrats to Diego Forlan (Uruguay) for the Golden Ball award.

Congrats to Iker Casillas (Spain) for the Golden Glove award.

Congrats to David Villa (Spain) for the Silver Boot + Bronze Ball award and Wesley Sneijder (Holland) for Bronze Boot and Silver Ball award.

Thomas Muller has a promising future ahead of him. He won the Golden Boot for having more assists than Villa and Sneijder.

P/s: Now I’m looking forward for 1st Arsenal’s match on 15th August. Arsenal vs. Liverpool.

No title for this one. Heh?

Hurm..Recently I wonder why every time I open my blog, my antivirus would detect some kind of virus and ask me to terminate it. I've never encounter this kind of thing before. So there must be something off in my blog, right? But still I have no idea what would be the cause. NVM.

Well after Robocon has ended, now there's new contest which is Robogamez.
If you're interested go and check this site.

<"http://robogamez.blogspot.com/">
the theme for this year is: Rising of the Silent Tower: Resist or Surrender II

well I guess it's the continuation of last year's theme.

I'm on my holiday so basically nothing much has happened.
I’ve been filling my time by watching Naruto Shippuden, some movies, and of course World Cup.

I must say this world cup is so unexpected seeing top names have been sent off with the likes of Brazil, Argentina, France, Italy, England and etc. But still both my favourite teams are still in, Spain and Germany. And they’re going to fight against each other in semi final. Well anyone remember Euro 2008 Final? What a repeat. Spain won 1-0 and all thanks to Torres.

But then there are young players in both team especially Germany so this match is going to be different from Euro 08 final.

As usual, I’m torn in between to support which one since both are my favourite. But heck I’m still gonna support Spain since this is my 1st team. Congrats to them for making it to semi final. This is their 2nd time since 1950. Germany is always there in semi or final so there’s no shock.

I don’t mind whoever wins this match. Either way, my team is going to Final. Be it Spain or Germany. And I think they’re gonna go against Oranje in Final.

I really hope Torres is going to find his touch again. I keep saying this seeing how lethargic he is during the previous matches. He’s one of the good strikers but he’s in no form to play for this world cup. This might be due to his recent surgery. It kinda held him back at this world cup. But I still believe in El Nino. I wish Del Bosque put Fabregas, Silva on the pitch as well because you know they seem to have relied on Villa too much. Still, I hope Villa is going to make another goal.

For Germany, I know they have improved. They have young players to look out for like Ozil, Muller, Khedira, Boateng and etc. Even though Muller will not be playing for the semi but still they have Klose and Podolski. Klose has only one goal left (now 14) to be in the same level as Ronaldo (Brazil) as the top scorer for world cup. I’ve always like him in Germany ever since Kahn and Ballack era.

May the best team wins. And oh by the way David Villa is gonna beat my Spanish hero, Raul as the top goal scorer for Spain. NVM. Raul is still in my heart. =]

P/s: Schalke is now on the move to tie a deal with Raul. No Raul for Real soon..hmm

Random

I’ve been busy these days with my final exams and I’ve been doing something else. Finally my short semester has ended but I’m worried.
I didn’t do well in my 2nd paper as I had terrible period cramps during the exam.
It was bad, like real bad. I even thought of giving up the paper. But then come to think of the consequences, it made me continue finishing the exam. If only I knew something like that would happen, I would have taken any pill before the exam started.

Still, I’m glad it’s all over and now I just have to wait for my result. That’s worrisome.

I’m still busy like a bee though. I have a huge competition next week. Hope everything’s going to be fine.

Apart from that, I still manage to allocate my time to watch World Cup. Honestly this 2010 World Cup isn’t happening like before.
It seems like everyone is not that vigorous.
Don’t you think so? Most of the matches were all dull and plainly boring I might add. But I keep on saying this is just the beginning.
I hope they’re going to keep up the pace for next coming matches.
There are quarter finals, semi finals, and …*drum roll please* Final coming up.

I’m disappointed when Spain lost to Switzerland. It was their 1st match and I’m pretty much build up that they’re gonna win the match.

But heck, you’ll never know. It’s unexpected. It’s funny how some people blamed Casillas’s girlfriend for Spain lost.

They said Casillas’s mind is distracted. Oh come on people.
If he’s professional, he would not budge a thought to his girlfriend while he’s maintaining to save the goal. Its true WAGS can be annoying sometimes but this is not a time to point finger to anyone.

It’s their lost and they have to eat it. This means that they have to win for the next matches against Honduras and Chile. They have no margin left to do anything wrong if they want to win this game.

Oh talking about Spain, I remember how pissed off I was at the referee in Germany vs. Serbia match. He’s from Spain but heck he’s being generous in giving cards.

Klose got 2 yellow cards and of course followed by red card and he was sent off.

It was shocking as I think his fouls are innocuous. After Klose’s dismissal, the team begin to lose their touch and everything seems to be wrong.
Even Podolski’s penalty was poor. I guess the referee is not welcome in Germany. They must be so pissed at the referee too.
I read some updates and guess what I found.
Apparently the referee handed out 11 red cards in 17 La Liga matches last season. Haha.

It’s a good thing Klose didn’t get a straight red card so he will only have one match suspension. He can’t play for next match Germany vs. Ghana. It’s fine though.

P/s: What happened to France and Italy?? They seem to have lost their magic. Blame the Jabulani and Vuvuzela. Hahah..xD xD

World Cup 2010 again...xD

Some of my friends have asked me about why I support Spain..Why???

Well the first ever reason why I support Spain is not because of I live in Spain because I'm not.
As a matter of fact, I've never been to Spain but I'd love to go there one day.

The big reason is because I love Raul Gonzalez. Remember him, anyone?
He's a striker for Spain. Oh gosh, you wouldn't know how much I like him.
I started to watch him play when I was still a kid, but back years ago, I didn't know his name. I just like the way he plays. That's all.
But as I grow older, coincidentally my liking for him grows as well up until now. The last time I've seen him played was in 2006. Did you know he's the all time top-scorer for Spain. =p

Even though he's no longer in the team now, I still like Spain.
I don't mind Iker Casillas being a captain. *cough cough* (Raul was the captain before).
I like Torres, Villa, Xavi, Silva, Fabregas, Iniesta and let's just say the whole team.

But I still show my support for other team like Germany, reason being is Miroslav Klose. Oh and I used to like their coach before who used to play for Germany, Jurgen Klinsmann.
I like watching
France for Thierry Henry and Nicolas Anelka.
Argentina for Messi
Brazil for Kaka, Ronaldinho
Holland for Persie, Arjen Robben
Portugal for Deco
England for Gerard, Carrick, Rooney

I guess the list goes on and on..

Here are some of the useful links for World Cup 2010.

First one is : Livescore
<"http://www.livescore.com/">
For football lovers, no introduction needed. All of you already know about this one.
Usually I'll go to this site when I'm busy to watch BPL matches live.

It will keep you updated with the scores..The best part is it will automatically update you with live scores, complete with who gave the goal and who got booked.
But please note, sometimes (sometimes okay) they do make mistakes here and then.
This site is not only for football, not only for BPL but for all.
If you still haven't check it out, please do so. (oh btw I love the green color for World Cup)
here's the screen shot of the site. I purposely open Group H and circled my team. Haha..I should've write 'That's my team y'all...' kekekeke. Excuse my craziness.


Second one is : Footytube
<"http://www.footytube.com">
Again no introduction needed for football lovers. This site makes it easier to catch any of previous matches that you miss. You can easily download it here.
But don't worry if you miss any match from World Cup, your TV channels usually have
match repeat. Still there's like a huge different when you watch the match live and watch the repeat. Ain't it?
Repeat for me is like when you are not satisfied, you go watch the match again. Pretty much analyze it again. Or else when you are so happy because your team has won, so you watch it again to relish the feeling.
Wait, maybe it's just me. I easily feel happy or content when my team has won but if they've lost, it will affect my mood for the whole day. I'm pathetic like that. Fuh.

World Cup 2010 Echo

Say Hi to World Cup..
Heheh..
--> Pepsi ad (cool one)



Are you excited for the World Cup? I’m so excited. I've got the table for this World Cup. I only get this overwhelming feeling once every 4 years. This is like a huge soccer tournament held every four years. I’m so thrilled and as usual, I’m rooting for Spain and Germany.
But then Brazil,Argentina,France,Italy seem to be compelling. I love Kaka, Messi, Henry..Blergh..I'm still rooting for Spain. I think almost everyone watch World Cup. Am I right?

Okay. That’s a total lie. Well not everyone but I think everyone knows about it even kids. Some of my friends don’t watch football, never watch BPL, La Liga and sorts but when it comes to World Cup, amazingly they’re interested to watch it.
Heh?
How come? Well that’s a beauty of World Cup.
You know the World Cup is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world.

My family love football so there’s no need to worry about watching different channel or what. As a matter of fact, my dad just installed a home theater set solely for World Cup. I haven’t seen it yet as I’m stuck here in college with all my projects and final exams. Exam is coming next Monday. Frankly speaking, I can’t wait to get home and watch World Cup. Kyaaa

Since BPL season has ended, World Cup is perfect to fill my ‘not-so-free’ time. =]
For the mean time, I have to watch it streaming. When I go back home, I'm going to make sure there's a huge space for me to lie and watch it comfortably. =]

By the way here is the mascot.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zakumi (born 16 June 1994 (age 15)) is the Official Mascot for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. He is cheerful and sporty leopard with green hair, presented on 22 September 2008. His name comes from "ZA", the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for South Africa, and "kumi", a word that means ten in several African languages.

P/s: Do you support which team?

NIKE WRITE THE FUTURE - FULL LENGTH VERSION

You've got to watch this advert. Well NIKE never fails to entertain me with their advert.
The world cup fever is on the heat right now. You know as BPL season ended.
Can't wait for world cup match and I'm rooting for Spain as usual. But I love Germany as well. But never mind, who ever wins the title deserves it in every way.


P/S: Now there are too many speculations about Fabregas whole transfer drama. I honestly hope he stays but still waiting for some sort of confirmation. I trust Cesc and Arsene himself to do the right thing.

Let's support this campaign
