EURO Blunder!


What happened?! All of the previous prediction can be regarded as major CRAP! None of them were correct. First of all, my team, Portugal been shown the exit by the always 'predicted champions', Germany. There's a saying in the world of football, 'Never write-off the Germans' and that platitude statement is again, correct! No wonder they make the best car in the world and that includes the 'unbreakable VW beetle'.

Ok, let's diagnose what was the being denied here. Portugal, although overwhelmed in the first half, they managed to fight back in the second. Now, in the first half, Nuno Gomes was denied a penalty when he got held back back a German defender(forgot his name). The ref should have again ruled out goal no 3 because it was clear that Ballack shoved Paulo Ferreira and although it was a minimal shove, it is technically a foul, ergo Ballack got an advantage to score what was again, a blunder from the defence and Ricardo. It was two-fold. The defence failed to curb the second set piece and Ricardo was flat footed, on the Portugal side. The ref however should've disallowed that 3rd goal. Bear in mind that this is the same ref who allowed Van Nistelrooy's offside first goal against Italy.

Maybe it's always true that the superior teams always have the upper hand advantage. I recall few years back when there was a controversy in the Serie A whereby teams like Juventus and AC Milan were given extensive extra period whevener they are down and can simply get advantage over any slight foul and that includes easily getting a penalty. I guess it's a psychological effect. They higher ranked teams always get the benefit of the doubt. ARghhh!

Anyways, I'm glad Holland is out because they played like Russia in the opening group match whilst Russia played like Holland in the group match. And I'm also glad that turkey is in the Semi as well. I must say that Guus Hiddink is THE GREATEST NATIONAL COACH. Remember Korea? Now it's Russia. I wonder could Malaysia afford him? Maybe if FAM were to appoint him as the FAM President, even that couldn't brush up our national team. Malaysia=crap.

Oh well, I'm going to see Italy-Spain now and i don't dare to predict because that gypsy woman was really crappy!

Hahahahah...

lagi sekali hahahahhaha....

bukan gelak riak, tak baik riak dan sombong...

tak kiralah siapa pemain terbaik dunia pun, tak kiralah siapa jurulatih terbaik dunia pun, tak kira juga lah 'tukang tilik' manapun, tak kira jugalah sebelum ni siapa pun tak pandang Turki dan Russia pun dan tiba-tiba mereka berjaya meraih sokongan pulak? Yang penting hanya 2 pasukan akan masuk final dan hanya 1 pasukan akan bergelar Juara Eropah kali ini...

p/s: kalah atau menang Germany, aku tetap sokong... kesetiaan para penyokonglah itulah yang memberikan semangat dan kemenangan...

Tak sangka lagi aku Itali boleh kalah. Kalu ikut prestasi terbalik team cemerlang peringkat kumpulan, Itali patut bleh mng pastu Spain spt kita tau team yang takkan qualify lebih drpd quarter final(mcm england).

Betul la, jurulatih drpd planet Zargus pon takkan dpt sembuhkan bolasepak antarabangsa Malaysia. Dulu amik Claude Le Roy jongang selak rambut pun tak bleh blah.

Aku bebetul harap turkey MENANG!!!!!!hehehe
