Forza Italia!

Italy are World Champions for the fourth time.

Finally the month-long competition has come to an end. Who would have thought Italy have a chance to even play in the Final? Impressive record throughout the competition, they have scored in every matches and conceded only 2 goals (An own goal and a penalty). Defenders win the cup.

Well, I lost a subway lunch to Kim but still it was one of the best match in the Germany so far. Good attacking and build up play by both sides. And what was Zidane thinking? His sending off means he can't take any penalty in the shootout. What an end to such an illustrative career - a red card in a World Cup Final - it's the last thing any footballer can think of.

Nonetheless, a great way to end an underwhelming World Cup - in my opinion - where so many over-rated or so-called 'star' players aren't playing at their best.

Goodbye Germany.
Hello South Africa.

The World Awaits

I was going thru my blog some days ago and I bumped into this post. Just want to clarify that I no longer support England national team after Premiership season 2005/06 ended. Honestly I felt that the English team are overrated and lack passion to succeed. They all proved themselves in the World Cup itself in Germany - Enough said.

Anyhow, screw the English, it's Italy vs France now. The biggest Blues on Earth facing each other later in the Finale. Would it be Cannavaro or Zidane that'll lift the coveted trophy? We'll find out soon enough. I support neither team but in my opinion, France will win.

Just came back from the Hotlink World Cup 2006 Finale Street Party at Bukit Bintang. Didn't have my camera with me so here's a few shots from my V3i..

Bukit Bintang street already flooded with people as early as 6pm

What the hell is Zidane doing here?

And Henry too!

Some creative paintwork, not enough time to witness the finished product

And the world awaits a new champion...

How are you?

Can't believe I didnt touch my blog for another 3 months. Well, I'll put this blame on my current job just because I don't have Internet access at work and I don't really blog when I'm home, unless I took some pictures outside. I didn't take much pictures this 3 months. Enough said.

So, how are you? How am I? Not sure.

So, how's the World Cup? Boring.

The host's progress to the finale was halted yesterday night by two dramatic late goals. The tournament's most talk-about stars were underperforming throughout. Ballack, Totti, Rooney, Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovich, all failed to live up to expectation.

The dream that never come true

England never had a chance to win the World Cup from the very beginning. The Brazillians were unable to control their over-confident attitude. Bad luck hit Argentina and their teen prodigy, Messi were unable to kick a ball against the host nation. The Netherlands need more time to gel as a team.

This edition of the World Cup started brightly and remain interesting throughout the group phases but things got bored from Quarter-Finals onwards. Seems like things are going anti-climax, rather than the opposite. Anyhow, it's still gonna be the greatest party on Earth come this July 9. Game on.
