Hey to all my frens! Sori I MIA again..many troubles wif my job, car accident again (Yup! Again!) & many many more.. Gd news is tat by end of nxt week before I go for my reservist, I sh settled all those issues tat hv been botherin' me for e past few mths & I will be able to update my blog regularly again!
Wanted to write abt e World Cup earlier, before e start of e tournament bt I realli can't fork out e time! Anyway, I will start off wif e Quarter Final mtg bet e host Germany & Argentina bah!
Germany: They hv realli surprised me & I believe even their own countrymen tat they hv come so far & they played better as e tournament goes! Esp seein' hw they were crashed by e Azzurri 4-1 in a friendly back in March! Bt e youthful defence made up of Lahm (LB), Friedrich (RB), Mertesacker (CB) & Metzelder (CB) wif Lehmann in goal, they hv nt let in a goal since e openin' game against Costa Rica! Ballack hv recovered & put in some stunnin' performance fr midfield. Schweinsteiger & Podolski are 2 of e youngster tat hv impressed me very much fr Midfield & Attack respectively. Klose is bangin' in e goals juz like e last World Cup, Frings is doin' all e dirty job in midfield & Schneider is still playin' well on e flank! Tis German team cannot be taken lightly even though most of e veteran fr last World Cup are no longer ard!
Argentina: One of e hot fav of e tournament! They looked invincible in e 6-0 demolition of Serbia and Montenegro! Esp e 2nd goal by Cambiasso; they hv made over 20 passes before puttin' e ball into e net! Tis is one of e best goal of e tournament for me! Bt there's a worry tat they hv peaked too fast becos their last game against Mexico wasn't tat convincin' even though they finally won it in extra time wif a thunderous strike fr Rodriguez. However they do hv strength in depth in Messi & Tevez; both are highly rated young players tat cn make a difference when they come on as a sub. Crespo is scorin', Saviola is playin' much much better than for his club & wif their no.10, Riquelme pullin' e strings fr midfield, tis team is definitely a force to be reckon wif!
The Quarter Final game wif Germany will be a midfield duel bet Ballack & Riquelme! Tis will be a very tight game. My heart says Argentina bt my head goes to Germany. My guess mah, Germany 2 Argentina 1.
