Yeah I read about Nakamura. At least he's not retiring his career in Japan.

Very excited about Netherlands win!! :)

Very sad about Brazil loss...
I just hope Argentina and Spain survive...

Robinho?s Calm almost laid back strike just on ten minutes had me thinking Brazil were appearing to justify why they are the bookie favourites, and on course to be only team to win the trophy in four different continents, trouble is nobody told the men in orange about it, so when Holland appeared again after half time the whole course of the match suddenly changed after Sneijder ?s quickly taken free-kick had a confused Cesar crashing into Felipe Melo whose glancing header ended up in his own net ?.a stunned Brazil struggled to regained the initiative, Kuyt touched on from a corner taken by Robbin and Sneijder lurking dangerously headed in. Felix Melo was Red Carded after tap dancing on Robbins leg????.

Wesley Sneijder reminds me of Sweden?s Henrik Larsson capable of turning a match around, and this afternoon Sneijder influence proved deceive?..I received a DVD on my sixteenth Birthday...all the contemporary football greats, goals, history, Henrik Larsson was featured I drove Mum mental, incessantly wanting to play head or foot?...as in guessing the next goal method?....Mum wanted to castrate the Uncle responsible for giving the DVD to me using her Bonsai 190mm general purpose Shears?

I swear I could hear an audible sign of relief from SwallowTail in London?.

Brazil v Argentina with the controversial figure of Diego Maradona who could well lift the World Cup on his maiden championships felt like providing an interesting duel ?
Uruguay 1-1 Ghana (4-2 on penalties)? Uruguay?s Suarez was given his marching orders after handling the ball off the line in the last few seconds of extra time ?. Ghana will be kicking themselves after Gyan?s penalty struck the crossbar?

Great too see Yuichi Komano honored with an award for "giving people dreams and emotions."

Yes it is good that Nakamura has not decided to completely hang up his boots?..

What?s this?!! ??Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger and ?.?Honda open to Premier League move?

Quote:

Make my day even more little girl. That would make my pants explode for sure if Keisuke Honda moved to North London. A dream for any Asian player is to play in England. Honda would be just the second Japanese player to ever sport the Gunner shirt after midfielder Junichi Inamoto completed but a short move to Arsenal after the 2002 World Cup.

Germany 4 0 Argentina....that was as much an humiliation for Argentina as the thrashing England had to endure a week earlier, the epitome of pure counter attacking football, no matter what Argentina through at Germany an inspired German squad tore Argentina to pieces, Diego Maradona looked dazed and confused, like Joachim Loew had wandered over and kneed him in the ?Ferrero Rocher?s?...... Klose was a total non entity turning in wrenched performances for Bayern Munich this season, a nowhere man, scoring just three goals.... For Germany Klose is just a goal away from Ronaldo?s all time record of 15... Argentina like England was headless, Germany?s confidence, pace and speed on the counterattack was overwhelming and decisive, Messi rendered impotent could never impose himself on the match with Schweinsteiger permanently welded to his butt....Germany is going all the way....

This afternoons quarter final German football master class, a goal fest laying waste to any Argentinean hopes of progressing further, we had a rather disappointing Paraguay 0 1 Spain ... the first time Spain has reached a World Cup semi-final....one thing for sure Spain will have to raise their game a whole lot more than a few notches if they are going to have any chance beating Germany on Wednesday.........

Paraguay deserved much more in that match. The first goal by Valdez I think, was not offside. Unless the Paraguay player had headed the ball back Valdez's way yes, but off the initial cross, he seemed perfectly in line. I think the linesman was a little biased. And David Villa had to be the luckiest guy in the world to hit the twice before going in. He now leads the chase for the Golden Boot award alone at the top with 5 goals, 4 goals in the last 4 matches.

Messi messy mwahahahahahaha...ha....ha...ha...ha.....ha....sigh

One thing for sure why Argentine lost they were playing individual rather work as a team. On the other hand Germany player really discipline, and that makes Argentine player cannot penetrate Panzer defense. well they can enter penalty box but Panzer defender closed all place so they got problem shooting, that is why a few Argentine player shoot from outside penalty box. Also Germany goal keeper "Neuer" do a great job, block and catch all shoot from Argentine player.

While Spain...... i think they a good team but from elimination group til quarter final , not much progress from them... mostly they won with only one goal gap.

Yet after beat one of the best and favorite team Argentine , Germany must not over confident when against Spain next on semi final , and Germany must won against Spain after humiliation from Spain at Europe Cup.

I heard many people will bet on Netherlands to won World cup this year, after they can beat number 1 FIFA rank Brazil. Yet my heart will support Germany

Go Germany "Germany uber alles"

After Germany?s demolition of Australia in the group stages, German red top Bild screamed "We are going to blow you away"...So when Germany succumbed to a 1-0 defeat against Serbia, Germany second encounter in the group stages, it was hardly a surprise that Bild?s rash statement looked somewhat premature.....taking a closer look though, Klose?s dismissal for two bookings reveals a clear venerably, without Klose and Spain will naturalise Klose with close contact marking Germany failed to utilise their devastating counter attack as affectively as witnessed clearly in the matches against England and Saturdays match against Argentina.

Sticking with the Germany - Serbian match for the moment, Serbia proved a different proposition the Serbian defence was far more disciplined and impenetrable than England?s and Argentina, evident as Germany failed to break through sufficiently to equalise against a very stubborn side, Jovanovic?s volley proved decisive and Podolski missed penalty provided Loew's side with its first defeat in the group stages since 1986, all clearly showing that Germany can be rattled, and Spain on Wednesday will be fully aware of this....With the prolific Villa, and Spain?s flowing style of ?single touch? passing game could prove extremely dangerous than any encounter German have experienced to date ... with play maker Mueller suspended for Wednesday's semi-final all bets are off ......Well I will be donning my Sombrero, Sangria , and shaking my Maracas? in wild abandon..........

Netherlands won huh no South America team on Final, no jogo bonito (sorta like that how to pronounce) a beautiful game.

First half Netherlands vs Uruguay , they were too open and goal came from outside penalty box. After Forlan goal many people start oh Uruguay still got fire there, and can won it. But Netherlands change strategy like what happen when they against Brazil.

Next match, Die Panzer vs El Matador , somethings came up before the match start "The octopus" chose Spain won the match. This might not a good sign for Germany..... oh what the hell it was an animal instinct.

Rumor says Fabregas injured.....again, possibility he cant fight on next match. Even though Gremany they lost Mueller, Germany still have other talented player. Like on their last match... if they can stop Spain midfielder, the match will be on Germany maybe Spain will have a lot of ball possession. Yet Germany counter attack still dangerous, Spain need a strategy how to stop their counterattack movement.

If Germany won this time, i hope.... i hope....and i hope. They need to stop Robben movement from right wing. Mostly Robben move from right wing and then enter penalty box and shoot high speed curving ball. While on that position, goal keeper got problem since its a blind spot. He cant see Robben clearly....defender will block goalies sight. And dont forget Sneijder free kick also need to be worried.

Anyway if this time Germany not win the match , its gonna be a new country grab World Cup Trophy, Whether Netherlands or Spain.

Bah too much babbling from me

Go Germany Uber Alles
