It's Just So Unfair Lor...

That another team that didn't work hard during the match got into the quarter finals. It was just sheer luck that Brazil scored 3 goals when Ghana players left their defence... defenceless.

I applaud the Ghana players for the tremendous effort in the game. It just such a pity that so many attempts at the goal post were saved by the Brazilian goalkeeper, many of which are really low balls directly rolling to the front of the goal post and easily saved by Dida. Haiz, Australia over kick, Ghana underkick. (I don't care if this term is football term lah, I very very sad about the shots leh.)

There were many, many, MANY, MANY attempts by the Ghana players, but they can't seem to break out of the pressure to score. My guess is that they cannot believe that they are so close to scoring, and allowed the yellow shirts to intimidate their confidence.

The Ghanas (sp?!) are one heck of a bunch of hardworking players. Brazilians were really bad on the first half. The Ghanas made the match exciting to watch . Never have I been so thrilled and hyper watching this World Cup since it opened, jumping on the sofa whenever the Ghanas are close to scoring, shouting as if they will hear me, and making strange noises when Brazil scored. It seemed like Ghana is posing a tough challenge to Brazil... But in the end, surprise surprise.

I guess football acurately reflects life. Whereas some of us work our asses off to strive for a better life, but never get to score, others who just happen to be at the right places at the right time gets lucky and sweeps up the rewards that they have very little participation in. They don't need to work hard, just position themselves in the right location at the right time, "keng" abit (REMEMBER THE ITALIANS? Especially the one who dived 5 secs before full-time?) and VOILA! They made it through.

Foul. It's just so unfair lor.

Just so UNFAIR.

Pray tell, France
please stay out of the quarter finals. We don't need another bunch of lazy ah-siah-kiahs boring me in these crucial matches.
