Let's pray for England to lose tonight

Darn, the Argentine lost to the German in the penalty shoot-out, in my opinion, two crucial mistakes allowed the the German to equalize and win the game.

Coach Pekerman committed a serious mistake by taking Riquelme out. Riquelme is their crucial play maker and were involved in many attacks. Tevez can't do it alone. Secondly. the injury of the goalie also cost the Argentine a subsititude option. Lionel Messi was'nt given a chance to come in and ruffle the German's defence, else the story would be very much different. Quite a few occasion, the German's defence were caught napping.

In conclusion, taking off Riquelme remains the killing point, while the Argentine contented in defending their 1 goal advantage while soaking themselves from the German's attack. Their negative mentality is costing them dearly. Well...dun cry for me Argentina...spring to my mind.

Lastly, i felt that German keeper Jen Lehman is going to be a hero of the night as the German edging closer to penalty spots. The revitalized and on form Arsenal keeper Jen Lehman appeared to be shinning stars while the Argentine's 2nd keeper was looking like a darker self.

On the Italian's front, Italy shakes their defensive mind a little and did some attacking, the Ukraine looks pretty disorganised despite Andriy Shevchenko a constant threats. Ukraine got their acts together in the 2nd halves and launched many counter attacked and three times at least were denied by Buffon and wood work. I just felt that Ukraine did not have the luck to work the Italian harder...

Today is England game...and this is the team i deprised most. Display so much negativity and extreme bias to some star players. Particularly, David Beckham ought to be dropped. He dun run for the ball, he dun defend, he dun run fast enough [Lennon's speed show the sharp contrast] so all he does is static ball passing and free kick. Hello!! Free kick alone is not going to win you world cup. And worst, the clown vomitted after scoring. What a joke!!!


Scolari, teach the English a lesson in footie!!! England give 2 Balls leh!!
