England into final 8!!

hee this is an entry entirely dedicated to the two matches ytd..might be boring so..skip if u have no interest in football k! =)

YAY! watched the england vs ecuador as well as portugal vs holland match ytd. on TV.
hee ur muz have found me slightly irritating but still i have to repeat..Beckham saved the day!! both England's n my day. =) haha coz if not for him, england wld have tied with ecuador. it was not qt a good match as most of the players r not v on form..but Beckham really went all out ytd. I was feeling slightly disillusioned after the first half, esp when i'm not in a v good mood. but..at the 60th minute, Beckham gave me hope with his awesome free kick!! i dun care how the others criticise him n stuff..i juz think he's one good leader + teammate to have. maybe i haven been watching football long enough ba..but it doesn't really matter. footballers generally look good when they score a goal, u can genuinely feel their joy! tat feeling is real..u can feel for the team..this is sth i treasure when i watch a match. =)

N i definitely din regret watching the portugal vs holland match too!! it was real exciting n aggressive!! every single minute of the game! much much prefer the portugal coach to the england one..well, some things juz cannot be perfect. the russian referee issued a total of 16 yellow cards n 4 red cards (2 for each team)!! we were all laughing when he kept issuing cards consecutively within min!! =O but the match was good. u can see that both teams are doing their best to try secure a place in the final 8. it was a tough match for both i suppose..though i tot portugal played better. was looking forward to watching ronaldo play but his thigh got cut n he was forced to leave the field..can see the reluctantness in his eyes as tears swelled up..he was apparently trying hard to stay in the game, can see the agony on his face as he ran. get well soon ya? =) after watching the match, i realised how violent a game of football can turned out to be..with lots of injuries n stuff..maybe tat's y it's more of a boy's game ba..=)
