OOOOKKKKK~~~~ my predictions just went down the drain with Italy going through to the finals. This is how football is like; nothing seems to be going the way you want it when the favourites to win the match loses. Lucky for me, I didn't bet money this year or I'll be having butterflies in my wallet. Oh look, that butterfly looks colourful coming out of other people wallet. Ahemz~

Football is hard to predict I would say. Italy was performing crap during the stages of the World Cup and barely beat Australia 1-0 with a lucky final 20 seconds penalty kick. Performance was hardly convincing and here they are into the finals with either France or Portugal beating the almighty Germans in their home soil. Same goes with France. They performed badly in the opening stages of the competition and never seem like breaking their 8 year goal drought and they manage to beat Brazil 1-0 dominating the match.

Did I mention about diving? Seem's like this match between Germany and Italy had alot of it. Sigh~ The slightest touch and they are on the floor and over reacting. How sad. Why don't you all just throw punches at each other while kicking the opponent balls instead of doing something fake. Heh..maybe thats going too far. Ignore that. Just something for me and you to laugh at. Probably...if you are laughing :p

Well I guess I won't be too surprise this time if Portugal beats France and go into the finals. It would be an interesting World Cup where all the Giants fall apart and Portugal win the finals. It'll be a shock to the world and also alot of money travelling to other stranger pockets. And the losers will be cursing their hearts out. Well thats football for you. Still I love the game and I always will.
