hurrah! brazil won! don't support the team whole-heartedly, italy + spain being my favs, but england just don't appeal to me. brit soccer hasn't been terror in the WC for the past few decades.. besides, i kinda like roberto carlos' commercials...
Lawrence, the lao ban over at Wendy's Corner, noted that in any world cup quarter or semi, whenever England scores the 1st goal, they'd lose the match. and if the opponents scored first, they'd win. its got to do with the english mentality where they'd go all the way back to defend and allow their rivals to keep hammering them (nice dive, Seaman). especially with a team such as Brazil, what great chance is there? nice game anyway, too bad we couldn't enjoy a penalty kickout. apparently the referee for the game wasn't in kelong mode.
won quite a few bets, played bookie for a day by buying tix for siyuan (my friend thru pri 5 - present), raymond, hanbin + myself. siyuan was the only loser this round. by a HUGE margin.
($80 lost in 90 mins - i'd rather go kart!)
joined this bunch of primary + lower secondary boys at the void deck of my house to play erm, voiddeck soccer. they sorta looked at me like some boolie, wearing big shoes and all, momentarily stepping on someone's foot and eventually flattening him :P took off the nike's after a few minutes and ackshully rammed the ball with my big toe. toe can't really straighten right now. amazingly did a r.carlos strike which smacked into the groin of my indian teammate...
had to leave at 6 for bugis to catch the germany v u.s. match. "see you next time, robin" one said before i left. "yeah, thanks for the game, next time yah?" i replied. "sure.. september holidays ok?"
