Yay! Exactly 3 weeks since the 2010 Fifa world cup began. I woke up 3 minutes into the game, between Germany and Argentina and Germany already led 1-0, scored by Thomas Mueller.
Argentina couldn't get any offense going for the rest of the game, and Germany would prevail by a score of 4-0. I was utterly shocked by it, because I thought this was going to be a close game, but it turned out lopsided.
After the game, we left home for breakfast and then headed to Richmond Centre to get my watch fixed. It costed 12 bucks for a repair.
Later, we headed home just in time for the Spain vs Paraguay game. This game was so much better than the game earlier.
Spain and Paraguay were scoreless at the half. All the excitement began in the second half when Spain was charged for a penalty shot, because a Spanish player held a Paraguayan down in the defensive zone. I thought Spain were done, but Iker Casillas stopped the penalty shot to save Spain. About a minute later, David Villa was held down in the offensive zone, trying to chase after the loose ball and Spain was given a penalty shot! Wow!
At first, they scored, but the referee said they had to do it again, because people entered the zone when the ball wasn't even kicked yet. This time, the Paraguayan goalkeeper was able to make the save and Paraguay was saved.
At 83rd minute, David Villa finally scored for Spain, with the Spanish putting on some nice passing plays. At the 89th minute, Iker Casillas saved Spain again, with a critical save off his right foot, when a Paraguayan player chased and shot the rebound shot towards him.
Although the referees had a late whistle to end the game, Spain still managed to win 1-0, and will be heading to the Semi-Finals to face Germany.
After the game, I was on the computer doing nothing, but listening to music. Though later, I played Basketball, and went home for dinner.
