Viva Espana~~ Euro 2012 Champions (again!)

For the last 4 weeks I have been hooked on football. Since the regular football ended not long ago, Euro 2012 started last month and ended Sunday (Monday night for me). As you can tell Spain is still the champions and said to be the best football team in the world. They have won 3 major cups in a row, Euro 2008, world cup 2010 and Euro 2012.

The final game was Spain vs Italy.


 
It was Mario Balotelli vs the whole Spanish squad. It was one of the best game of the whole competition, except maybe when Italy beat Germany. I really wished Germany would have won but Italy was amazing that night. But during the finals, Spain was the better team. Honestly I think they were not as sharp and not as alert as the Spanish team. It is sad to see them lose, but I think I would feel the same if Spain lost. They didn't! I am so proud!! I am not even spanish :P. One of the funny moment was when the camera showed Charles Puyol and David Villa who was not playing this time around on their phones (I assume they were tweeting the win - and I was right!) LOL. It was the most goals scored in a final, 4 - 0. That is what was so heartbreaking. The Italian team have used up all 3 of their substitute so when one of their player had a hamstring injury, they were screwed. They were playing with 10 man - which I think was a disadvantage. I think there should be a rule set aside for this, in case it happens again. It makes it unfair and like playing with a handicap.

It is heartbroken to see a team lost but that's the game, someone gotta lose and go home heartbroken. I use to be an Italian fan but now I follow where ever Cesc Fabregas goes :P. HAHA...once a gunner always a gunner. I am curious to see which team would be the one to beat the Spanish team. Fabregas, Torres, Silva, Ramos, Casillas, Iniesta, Xavi, Alonso and the likes... congratualations. Another win in the pockets. Now that the football is over I think I can get some sleep. And wait for the premier league to start. Another month or so...then more football action for me!!

YouTube you rock my days

So I have so many things to write, but I am still gathering pictures of my cats that moved on to a better life...it is awfully hard to find since I have them on DVDs and I don't know which ones they are. o.O so F*$&#**. Anyway, YouTube on the other hard have been very handy in accompanying me and my misery lately, with the World Cup ending and all (OMG it's only been like a week!!) and I have been watching some Nike ads on there. Two of my fave ones are:








One shows Sneijder and the other, of course, the World Champ., Spain!!! :D Love these!!


P.S Oh yeah did I tell you Fabregas was in the vid too? ^_^

SPAIN ... the King of the World: World Cup 2010 Winner

Need we say much?



It was not the best game of the World Cup. And it was a 1-0 victory after 116minutes of play time...but it wasn't that boring either. I will have to say the 3rd place match was a lil livelier. :) But I am happy Spain won, their first ever final game and they won. The are the history boys!! Two years ago they won the Euro cup and now the World Cup. :) I just am sadden that the Oranje team didn't get to go home with the cup, there can only be one winner. Right? They have been to the finals 3 times and did not lift the trophy. I can't wait to see them play in the 2014 World Cup.





They did a real good job the Dutch...but not good enough to prevent Iniesta to score the only goal of the match. It was also Giovanni van Bronckhorst last game. I am sure he must be the saddest player there, so close yet so far. So long World Cup South Africa 2010. It has been a great 1 month together, till we meet again in Brasil in 2014!



Good bye South Africa!!





This was a bitter sweet moment for me when Cannavaro lifted the trophy for the last time. :) Too bad XD

World Cup 2010. So far...

OMGIAMSOHAPPYRIGHTNOW!! I have been busy with the world cup games and rooting for my fave teams (SPAIN!! yay! Holland and well I was hoping Argentina would make it too but the revenge is already executed by the Spaniards!! HAHA!) and today I just have to write something. :D Spain made it to the finals. For. The. First. Time. EVER! I am so happy!! And going against the Netherlands...couldn't be happier.

Although I am sadden that the Germans didn't make it to the finals, they did real good. :) I do like the way the Germans play their games, with confidence and all but I think they were trying to defend too much with the Spaniards. Maybe it was just me. Cause I only watched the second half of the game (thankfully!) before Puyol's goal! :D Happy beyond words. ^_^ Now if only they can beat the Dutch :P

Since both of my fave players plays for both teams (V Persie and Fabregas) it is undecided for me who I want to win. I do hope that Spain wins cause it is their first ever time to the finals. And they deserve it. Although I do hope Torres get a score at least and Villa get the golden boot. :D I like Sneijder but you know...it's an all Spain affair :P.

Am also looking forward for the Germany v Uruguay game. I think both teams are great! They display great football skills and they have scored impressive goals. I am looking forward to Muller and Lahm to play...and I think they game will be a great one!! Too bad all four teams can't make it to the finals...or it wouldn't be call a FINAL ^_^.

And finally, PAUL was right!! I hope he is safe somewhere in Germany. :) Please don't eat Paul. He is a good octopus...who could predict matches. :D I think he will be very famous now!


Isn't he just adorable?

Can't wait for the finals~~
