Hallo.

Friday, July 07, 2006//

hallo. 2 weeks of school have passed since the end of school holidays. school has been more enjoyable than the previous semester so far. i seem to understand the new a math stuff more easily and also seem to have more motivation to do my own revision. however, my thoughts and plans for revision have always been brushed aside by homework and fatigue. hence, there is no progress in my revision.

brazil's out of the world cup already. :(. i'm disappointed man. they kind of deserved it anyway. there seemed to be a lack of commitment and teamwork in the brazilian players. parreira's fault? possibly. i noticed that the brazil team had no fixed way of passing. they were simply just passing to the running men, to the unmarked player(s) near them, or chipping/lobbing to the unmarked player(s) further away. ronaldinho wasn't at his best, nor was the defence.

anyway, they were beaten by a strong france side. this crazy player with inconceivable skills called zidane stole the show. indeed, he's crazy. he'll certainly be the player the italian side would be keeping a big eye on.

oh ya, how could i have forgotten. france knocked portugal out. serves ronaldo right. the player who wants the lime light and does meaningless and over-flowery dribbles. anyway, he still refused to give in after the match by complaining that the referee was siding the french team.

this sunday's the final of the world cup. italy vs france. a very tight match indeed. hundreds, or even thousands of people could go bankrupt by the outcome of the match. haha. i think france'll win. the italian defence seems inpenetrable but the potential of penetrating force the french attack has doesn't seem preventable. haha. france is scary! however, italy's attack isn't weak too. them scoring 2 goals in the last 2 minutes of extra time against germany says it all- italy can do anything. my conclusion of the final - unpredictable!

i got to go. bye and cheers
