England 1-0 Paraguay
that's the scoreline of England's first World Cup match earlier this evening
pathetic match
boring
well, the only goal of the match was an own goal.
so, go figure
no burst of brilliance, just pure luck 'cos Paraguay seemed intimidated and held back in the attacks most of the first half
and the Mexican referee officiating the match was plain ridiculous
one can't help but wonder whether he was just trying to impress Fifa with his 'no-nonsense' attitude
it sure pissed me off
slowed the game, made it excruciating to viewers like me and proved that not all who make it to the top are the best.
he obviously had something against Peter Crouch in any case
and that was pretty obvious
he was under 'restraining order' throughout the entire match
not given the opportunity to display his full potential
and what the hell was Eriksson thinking when he brought on Downing at the crucial point when England desperately need players with a thinking head on the pitch to guide them
Downing was obviously out to impress, but failed nevertheless
sprints down the flank without thought for fellow teammates
passing skills that made it seemed like his job was to hand over possession to the opposition
that being said, almost everyone was off-form
A.Cole, was just sad to watch
J.Cole, was active but not productive in any way
Gerrard just seemed to have his heart somewhere else. just not on the pitch in Frankfurt.
Lampard impressed though... his efforts were not rewarded only because he was up against an old substitute goalkeeper, who have not had much opportunities to prove himself before he had to replace the injured first-choice
Beckham was not as omni-present as he should and have been.
The backline held the fort in one safe piece and that should be applauded
i just hope to see more brilliance, more enthusiasm and less 'take-the-safe-route' tactics (like sit back and hold the backline after you take the lead. that's just sad. that's not what football should be like)
sorry folks
i've always been a soccer enthusiast who cannot stop once i begin dissecting my opinions of a match
shall stop now =p
had dinner with mum, dad, drago, chantal and chloe this evening at Chijmes
was intended to celebrate my birthday
but well, it was just a normal meal
without any mention of it being a birthday celebration
Gyu-Niku at Chijmes
Japanese table bbq
food was rather not bad
service was great
prices were steep
all in all, it was just average
tomorrow
gonna meet Edna tomorrow
finally!
can't wait for the long-awaited bitching session
and she so cute...
ask me whether i'll be wearing heels or flats
hmm
i'll wear flats =D
and don't worry, i won't wear a skirt too...
apparently, we'll have to sit on the floor at Essential Brew
so... thanks for telling me before hand sweetie!
i guess my previous posts created some doubts for you
and i guess i'm also right when i said that there are in fact people talking behind my back despite you telling me that i was just being suspicious of people around
but you know what?
i don't wanna know
and i don't really wanna care
and what's more,
does it matter whether or not i clarify if i love you or hate you?
what does it change?
how will it affect anything?
i have always maintained that i love you, and that i'll never be able to hate you
i might resent what has happened
i might resent how things have turned out with you
i might resent some things you do
but i wont ever hate you
so there you go...
the clarification you seem to need
and in case you dont already know, i made up my mind a long long time ago
about alot of things
for me to know and for you to find out
