Fifa World Cup 2010

It's one week since the very first match of the FIFA World Cup 2010 which is hosted by South Africa, the weakest host ever, sorry, no offence, just telling the truth...... The first match was incredible, or rather predictable, it was the host South Africa against Mexico, and the result was one-one. Was it a fair game, or were the Mexicans given some bribes? Haha, you know, according to the FIFA record, no teams which hosted the world cup in their nation lost in the first round ever, even for Japan they won their very first round during the 2002 Korea-Japan Fifa World Cup, and so the South Africans wouldn't really like to break this record.

I didn't watch any of the matches on the first day of the world cup, but through the internet, I knew that the overrated France(was it?) earned a nil-nil against some weak team, fair enough, maybe they were nervous because it was their first match. On the second day, I went to my friend's house for a primary school gathering and watched a match between Argentina and Nigeria, it was disappointing though the Argentinians won, the result was only one-nil. After the match, I went back home and watched another match between my favourite team England and USA with my brother and his friends( bunch of gamblers). England Captain and star player of Liverpool, Steven Gerrard scored at the 4th minute, all of us cheered but soon, USA also scored a goal caused by a stupid and idiotic mistake by England goalkeeper Robert Green(Capello trusted in you, yet you let him down......). In the next few days, I watched a couple of matches, The best one is undoubtedly the Germany-Austrialia match, they were the first team to do some thrashing, that was an interesting match, cheers for the Germans! Some matches worth mentioning were the Portugal-Ivory Coast match(which consists of top players such as C.Ronaldo in Portugal and Didier Drogba in Ivory Coast, the result was nil-nil) and the Spain-Switzerland match(underdog Switzerland won unexpectedly by scoring one damn goal and the gamblers were losing like hell thanks to them).

Today, it's Argentina against South Korea(one of my favourite team because they're the only team in Asia who really knows how to play football and partly because of Park Ji Sung, cause I'm a Man U supporter, haha), and Argentina won by scoring 4 goals, but the South Koreans weren't bad also, they scored one goal and I could see that they had tried their very bests. Next was Greece against Nigeria, it was a 2-1 match, Greece won. And now, as I'm typing this post, France are being thrashed by Mexico, the Mexicans scored two goals and that was something totally unpredictable, who would expect France to lose against Mexico, who would expect the former World Champion(years ago, but they were the first runner-up in the 2006 Fifa World Cup) to not enter the octofinals( their fate were decided, they lose to Mexico and drawed with Uruguay, so it means even if they win the next round they'll only get 4 points, and that's not enough to enter the top 16). So long, France, maybe you guys could go back home and train harder and get a better result next time.

As far as I'm concerned, for the FIFA World Cup 2010 group matches, underdogs such as Japan and Switzerland tend to win and some strong teams like Spain and France tend to lose, making the games really unpredictable, and is that something good or bad? It depends, haha. Maybe the overrated teams don't deserve the name they had received from the public. France is the best example, they are really overrated though decent players like Henry and Ribery and so on are on the team, and now they couldn't even qualify for the octofinals.

It's so late already and I'm kinda sleepy.

All in all, world cup is the best, viva football!
