La La La La!! Yay! 23 days has passed since the beginning of the world cup. I woke up at 9am, ate breakfast and then head to a friend's place to watch the last semi-final game of the world cup, between Germany and Spain. I had high hopes for the Spanish team before the game.
The first half, Spain pretty much dominated, but couldn't score. The Germans looked pretty mediocre with their performance. They couldn't really get any offense going, as Spain controlled the ball very well, with David Villa and Puyol getting the only chance for Spain.
The second half was extremely entertaining. At first it seems like Germany were going to turn things around, but Spain shortly took over once again. They looked more dangerous, with waves of attack after attack. David Villa missed a slide kick on a cross pass. The entire Spanish bench reacted hilariously. One of my friend was laughing his ass off. Finally, Spain draws first blood, when Puyol received a cross off a corner kick and headed the ball beautifully past the German netminder. Here is a quote from Bob Cole, a hockey commentator for CBC. "It had to come, you knew it had to come." This works, since Spain pretty much gave everything they had and finally broke through.
This finally woke Germany up as they started to press a bit. They could only generate one scoring chance, but Iker Casillas turns him away. Although Spain countered attack, Pedro was 2 on 1 rushing to the German's zone, his teammate was wide open and yet I didn't know what he was trying to do, but he didn't pass to his wide open teammate and the German defender took the ball away. The final score was 1-0 Spain, OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE OLE!!!!!!!!!
After the game, we played a bit of NHL10 before we headed home. It was an extremely hot day today. When I got home, I showered and then went on the computer.
We had dinner early today, though I ate Crabs! Yum! I also had ice-cream right after I drank my soup.
Later, I bussed to Vancouver, to play soccer with people. I was the goalkeeper and played pretty well, I stopped a penalty shot that temporarily turned the game around. But when I left, my team collapsed. After leading 2-1, they lost 6-2. YIKES!!!
