One Happy Ending and 2 Big Disappointment..!!!

Goooo..... Deutshland.. !!!! it was an amazing night for me as a German football fan... they are through to the Semi Final of the World Cup 2006... the Germans beat the Argentines 4-2 in penalty shoot out after an amazing 1-1 draw comeback by the GErmans...

Germany was playing pretty ugly in the first half.. it was Argentina's first 45 mins.. the Argies played better.. hold up the game better.. paced out Germans player.. n managed to score the first goal.. German player look lost.. n blew a way a few chances.. like Ballack's header..

in the second half.. probably a good inspirational speech and reinforced in tactics.. the Germans played better n better.. they tried even harder.. they managed to get into their own pace.. they managed to hold the Argies better... until i believed what had murdered the Argies... 'subsitution'.. Argies' coach.. Pekerman had made some substitution in the second half.. which was pretty smart but not the last... the last substitution was not bringing in Messi.. the phenomenal young star of Argentina.. the next Maraddona.. i mean bringing in Messi into the field would have secure the 1 - 0 lead for the ARgies.. but.. Pekerman played a more conservative game.. he left Messi on the bench..

probably that .. a good chance for the Germans.. n the 'never say die' spirit demonstrated by the Germans resulted to an amazing come back.. Ballack took a cross only to back-head by Borowski where the ball fell into position for Miroslav Klose to head in the important equalizing goal..

imagine this.. i was cheering my heart out in a mamak restaurant filled with Argentina fans.. hehehe.. luckily i'm still in one piece.. hahaha..

well.. the game gone into extra time n resulted in a draw.. thus the game was took into the Penalty shoot out.. Jen Lehman... the hero.. n dubbed as the new TITAN of Germany.. saved 2 out of 4 tries by the ARgentinians... while the Germans scored 4 out of 4 to win 'the best of 5' penalty shoot out..

what an amazing night.. however there are some comments n incidents that night that negatively thrown to the Germans.. but hey... they deserved the victory as well as the Argies.. both played their hearts out.. n both put in the passions n determinations.. but.. luck wasnt with the ARgies that night.. n GERMANY walked away as the winner.. so i must say good luck GErmany against Italy, and Argies.. u dont have to be ashamed of urselves as u played an amazing game... well done for both teams..

ok.. as for the disappointments... England and Brazil are out of the World Cup as defeated by Portugal and France respectively.. to keep it short.. luck was not with England who finally play well and France deserved the win... Brazil... aih.. what the hell.. played not to their standard...

so.. this will bring us to the semis with Germany Vs. Italy and Protugal Vs. France.. who will win??? i would just say.. may the best team Wins the game... but of course.. my heart n support will go for Germany... !!!!
