FIFA World Cup

June 15th, 2006 Bugman 1 comment

I have been watching the Fifa World Cup a bit and have really enjoyed it so far! I’ve only watched two games so far but I will certainly be watching more as the Cup goes on.

I definitely watched the Australia v Japan match and it was a stressful 90 minutes up until the end! With one goal scored by Japan before half-time I was sure we were going to lose but boy did we turn the game around! With 8 minutes remaining we scored a goal to even up the stakes, then with 5 minutes remaining another to lead 2:1 but not only that, we kicked a third within two more minutes to win the match 3:1! It was quite enthralling and I thought it was a very entertaining match!

Tonight I watched the Spain vs Ukraine match which was an entirely different event! The game was much more upbeat with a lot more forward attacks and shots for goal which I guess is what keeps you entertained. Spain won 4 nil and did a fine job at it, too.

The Spaniards were quite hot! It certainly brings some value-add to the sport :)

Íker Casillas being one of them, a hot goalkeeper!

And a forward, Fernando Torres, who from up-close angles doesn’t quite have the face for it but watching him from a little distance makes all the difference :)

The World Cup has kept me awake so I probably should get SOME sleep!
