viva espana!!

should have written about this earlier, but was quite busy since the last 2 days.. haha.. busy qadha tidur!

and last nite, after sofea terjaga.. feeling nauseated and vomited at around 2 am, kita terus macam tido2 ayam. pagi tadi, pukul 4 pagi dah bangkit, buat apa yang patut and perlu... dan akhirnya gi turun tgk movie. rasa sunyi pula bila the world cup dah over.

and Spain made it as the new world cup champion, on their very first world cup final ever. the dutch, who played quite a dirty game terpaksa berpuas hati as runner up, after 3 attempts so far.

was expecting a tight game, and not many goals. my prediction was they would end up the 90 minutes game with a draw, and still couldn't find a winner after the extension time.. best juga tgk org kalah penalti masa final... the players yg konon tough tu pun boleh nangis. but actually menang penalty tu sebenarnya lebih pada nasib.. so tak best gak.

but torres finally made a good pass form the left side to fabregas, who made a beautiful pass to iniesta, who scored the winning goal. that was at about 2 or 3 minutes before the referree blew the whistle. iker casillas was seen crying thankfully even before the whistle was blown.

and i was so very happy... coz my heroes, torres and fabregas finally contributed towards the winning of spain walaupun they didn't really shine earlier on. suka tengok the prize giving ceremony.. i did shed some tears!

orang yang i paling kesian was robben.. sungguh macam lipas kudung, berlari ke sana ke mari, but failed to get a goal. sneijder unfortunately didn't have much opportunity that night, kena kawal ketat. but the dutch was really playing a dirty game. alonso was kicked in the chest. and the oranje received 9 yellow cards, and one got the red card.

germany's young anchor person, thomas mueller received the best young player award and the golden boot. memang layak pun.. dia memang hebat. his absence in the semi final against spain was really felt, many people believed the result would have been different if he was playing. and even though david villa didn't get the golden boot, there was no doubt that he played a significant role in bringing spain to the final. too bad he didn't get a goal in the final itself. otherwise, he would have won the golden boot.

iker casillas received the golden glove award, for being the most outstanding goalkeeper in the 2010 world cup. he is 29, and have a few more years to prove that he can be as legendary as dino zoff (italy, 1982) or oliver kahn (germany, 2006).

uruguay's diego forlan received the golden ball award. he amazed many people with his skillful football and attacking ability, and being instrumental in bringing the average uruguay into the semi final and finishing fourth.

2010 also observed many surprises.. france and italy didn't make it to round 16. england and portugal pun tak menyerlah sangat walaupun portugal menang besar dgn north korea. brazil and argentina didn't make it to semi final.. nevertheless, i'm glad argentina didn't win the cup. otherwise.. rasanya tak sanggup nak melihat maradona mengotakan janjinya. it might not be a good sight to watch. haha..

and everyone would remember Paul the Octopus, who made accurate predictions in 8 matches in this world cup. lepas ni banyak la pulak org nak bela sotong agaknya.. :)
