Wow, almost 3 weeks already since the beginning of the 2010 Fifa world cup?!?! Awesome!! This morning, I woke up 30 minutes late to watch the Brazil vs Netherlands game. When I opened up the TV, Brazil was already up 1-0. Though, they didn't score after that.
In the second half, Netherlands tied the game when a Brazilian accidentally headed a centering pass past the Brazilian goalie. For the rest of the game, the Dutch frustrated Brazil, by scoring the leading goal. Later, a Brazilian was given a red card for stepping on a Dutch player. So the final score was 2-1 Netherlands! UPSET!!!! See you later Brazil!!
After the game, I got dressed, bussed to Vancouver and walked to return my friend's pump while heading to another friend's house to watch the Ghana vs Uruguay game. Ghana shockingly took the lead right before the half time.
Uruguay in the second half would tie the game, off a freekick by Diego Forlan. It was a beautiful goal, in my opinion. The game would be tied the rest of the way, but one of the most epic moment was when Uruguay was charged for a penalty shot with seconds left before the penalty shootout. Ghana was given the GREATEST oppurtunity to end the game right there. Unfortunately, the shooter shot the ball way too high and Ghana missed an EXCELLENT semi-final birth. Right after that, I knew Uruguay would take the oppurtunity to win the game.
They did just that in the penalty shootout. They won 4-2, to silence the entire stadium. Yes, the entire stadium was utterly filled with African supporters.
After the game, I stayed at my friend's house for about 7 hours straight, before heading to my high school's grass field to play football. I accidentally fell backwards and bumped my head, ouch! Also, I accidentally cut my fingers and it won't stop bleeding. However, that didn't stop me from playing. My team won by a score of 6-4. I finished the game with 1 touchdown and 3/4 catching percentage.
Tomorrow, I'm watching the Germany vs Argentina game and Spain vs Paraguay game!
