more WC ramblings

the commentator said of Zidane after he scored the winning penalty kick dat put France thru to the finals-
"he didn't look at the players, he didn't even look at the goal keeper. he juz kept his eyes on the ball. such focus....."

Rooney should have watched his temper. kena red card, leave his teammates 2 suffer 4 his mistake. tsk tsk. 2 me, he's 2 b blamed most 4 d lost to portugal. but anyway, England is overrated. whoa beckham resigns? he really is good as captain leh...

Brazil is such a disappointment! I m a samba soccer fan! i enjoy d way they enjoy soccer! see how Cafu or Ronaldinho smile when they make a mistake or get fouled? sigh... but somehow the fire n passion wasnt there. m most disappointed at how Ronaldinho played. "Technically, we have a very good team, very experienced," Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira said. "But when you don't win the title, it's because there has been something missing."
now you say...

this WC has got me watching Portugal's coach - Luiz Felipe Scolari . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luiz_Felipe_Scolari
Scolari, who lists Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" as one of his favorite books, was the coach who took Brazil to their 2002 WC win. He had coached teams to a record 11 straight World Cup wins before the England match, which goes down as a tie in FIFA's books.

"He's enriched us, increased our confidence," Portugal goalkeeper Ricardo Pereira said. "Every ship has its captain, and he's ours."

y would he want to coach portugal? why would he want to stay 5 years with them (2003-2008)? for he's personal growth? cos he believes in them? Portugal has never won the WC, or any big titles... he took them to d last euro finals against Greece. he turned down coaching england 2 months ago. and talks have it that he'll stay with portugal till '08' Euro. we'll see more of portugal!

i'm looking for kakis to watch WC! who who?? it's so sad to watch a match alone...
