Argentina sucks! I'm a woman and I love football!

Yeah... you read it right...I'm a football craze. People raised their eyebrows when I said this, just because I'm a lady.
I've been lazy lately... in fact very lazy to post anything in my blog. And I've gained a few kilos too! I've been busy watching the World Cup you see. The games were on tv everyday, every evening, every night and every morning! and I have watched most of the games even the 2.30 am games especially when my fave teams were playing. (How I love working in the afternoon!) Now, I have a breather since the 1st semifinal is two nights away. How do I love it so far? Well, I'm still jumping with joy because my fave teams are in the semifinals and Argentina is finally out!I'm no glory hunter but I love Germany, Spain, England, Brazil and Holland since 1986, I think. I can still remember some of the famous players back then...Rummenigge, Alan Shearer, Roberto Carlos and Ruud Gullit to name a few. And I hate Argentina since Maradona's hand of God. Well, they are also the best actors on the field and never a 'fairplay' team.
I was torn inside when the Germans was playing against England...the Dutch vs Brazil... This is unfair! Fifa should follow the tennis match-ups. The no.1 player never plays against the no.2 player until the final. Now world no.2(Spain) is meeting no.3(Germany) in the semifinal! Who am I rooting for? I just can't pick between these two. They are equal in my eyes but I'll pick one of them when they play against Holland in the final.
Although my fave teams are mostly European teams, I also rooted for the minnows like Ivory Coast, Ghana and New Zealand especially when they played against Argentina and Italy. The African teams didn't play well as I had hoped but I'm proud of the Asian teams. South Korea and Japan did so well but luck was not on their side. I'm impressed with their skills and gameplay. I can only dream that one day Malaysia can play like that.
Aaargh...the referees! They are so blind and biased. I wept for the teams that went out thanks to the referees' blunders. I can understand the call for technology in football but I'm only for the microchip in the ball and extra referees at the goalposts. Other than that, it will only take the beauty out of the game. Just bring Baldy(Molina) back please!
Emmm....RTM... stop blaming them people! Just blame yourself and Astro. Are you blind? or deaf maybe... It's written and announced everywhere long before WC that RTM will not be showing all matches live! And didn't you all know that Astro has the exclusive right. Heck RTM has to take the draw on which matches to show live. Funny that they only got lame match-ups. Smelling fish anyone?
Back to the beautiful game... I love Germany vs Argentina the best! First, because the German has thrashed my most hated team. Secondly, it's the best of Germany I've seen so far. Jaochim Loew stays true to Klinsmann's revolutionary style. Those who have seen how the Germans played in the 80's and 90's would agree with me. The action was non-stop and they ruled the game. Then we have England vs Germany. It's just packed with drama. I just hope that the semis and final will be nothing short of heart-stopping moments. As for the other teams' reviews... Italy and France are old news. They are still playing like in the 90's. (Italy was just lucky in 2006). Brazil must go back to their samba ways and enroll in anger-management class. England... fire your midfielders and defenders! Argentina...what goes around will come around. Try to win the fairplay award for once. You're too humble dear African teams. Get it in your head that it's never enough to be in the first round to New Zealand and Australia.
Lastly, I am relieved that an African witch-doctor got it wrong to say that Argentina will be the champion. You should take a prophecy course under Paul the octopus, the true oracle or the Nostradamus of WC 2010. I wonder what Paul has to say about Germany vs Spain...

P.S: Paul has picked Spain for the win! Should I weep now????

My shoutouts go to my hubby and my brother: You cannot simply switch teams when Brazil and Argentina are out!
