After a month of period, the World Cup 2010 has ended yesterday. Spain is the Champion for World Cup 2010. They scored the winning goal in second half of extra time with the score of 1 – 0.

Spain started with strong possession and they nearly score in first few minutes. Holland took times to get into the match. I can hear many shouting when Spain or Holland attacking each other. The sounds are come from same group of people, so I think they are not supporter of these 2 teams, they are just ordinal audience.

Both teams created many chances in second half, but none of it manage to change the score line. Keeper is the person that does the job well. Holland played better in second half. They created chances of 1 to 1 but it does not give credits to Holland. Referee blow the whistle after 90 minutes.

The game continues after 10 minutes break. Both teams defender are busy defense their territory. The score line still remains the same on first half of extra time. Second half started and Holland players are frustrated with the referree decisions. There are many yellow cards given out this match, is about 15 yellow cards given out on this final match. Spain tried hard to break through Holland defense but Holland defense is like unbreakable. At last A. Iniesta scored the winning goal in 3 minutes before the extra time end. Iniesta got a yellow card because he takes off his jersey to celebrate his goal. The game ended with this result and Spain is honor to be the Champion for World Cup 2010.
Congratulations to Spain!

This morning I listened to news broadcast from Radio. When they broadcast on Sports, they said something like this, Paul make another fantastic round of prediction, Paul predicted Germany will win the match against Uruguay and the result was 3 – 2.

Paul really good, he/she make a 100% prediction in this round WC. Sorry that I don’t know Paul is a he or she. According to the news, they said Spain is interested on Paul and willing to pay a big amount to buy over Paul to Spain. Can’t believe that people will throw money for that, no wonder now there is another animal came up.

Any idea what animal I am talking? Is a bird, a bird from Singapore. The bird also starts predict in this WC, but I am not sure what the result of the bird prediction is. Why suddenly so many animals start taking part in this World Cup? I wonder what the next coming up animals is.

Do you know who Paul is? Paul is an octopus in Germany. Paul predicted all the matches played by Germany. Paul predictions are 100% accurate. Do you believe that an animal can predict 100% accuracy on football match?

Paul predicted Spain will win against Germany and after the match played, many German people buy squid/octopus and cooked it next day. Most of the German people did that because of Germany loose to Spain. According to the newspaper, many German people bought much seafood especially squid/octopus was their first choice.

I wonder will Paul predict the final match.

After 3 weeks of battle, World cup 2010 finalists are Holland vs. Spain for champion and Uruguay vs. Germany for third placing. My prediction for who will carry the cup is Spain.

Why I choose Spain? If you watched the match between Spain and Germany you will agreed that Spain are much stronger than high rated Germany. Spain showed their champion ‘look’ after that match. Anyway, let’s wait till this Sunday and see who carry the cup.

Another South American team eliminated out from World Cup. Before the match start, I told my friend Argentina and Germany playing style are different. Argentina mainly in short passing and Germany is good in long pass and air ball.

On the 3rd minute of the match, Germany awarded a free kick. I told my friend Germany is throwing an air boom to Argentina territory. Just a second after I told him, Germany really scored in this position. Argentina start revenges but nearly let Germany score another goal in counter attack.

Germany another 3 goals in second half, 2 are counter attack. Is defensive error or? This game is like the match between Germany and England, England loose to Germany is because of counter attack. I think Germany did played well, they used the right strategy. Argentina is mainly depends on Messi and I think he was well handled by Germany defenders. Every time he got the ball and I can see 3 Germany defender goes after him, so no matter how good he is, he also can’t get through 3 defenders.

That’s the end of Argentina road to World Cup.

First Half, Argentina 0 – 1 Germany

This match shown the talent of Holland, slowly showing the Champion looks of World Cup. They are losing a ball behind and came to won the match.

Brazil second half was totally out. They missed many opportunities to level it, but Holland also missed many 1 to 1 chances to score it. Ball possession Holland was better than Brazil. Arjen Roben is the man that you should salute. His mission is to get people foul him. Seriously in yesterday match, most of the Brazil players received yellow cards are because of him. He is the dangerous man for opponent but the key person for the orange team.

Frankly speaking, I also hope Holland win this match because I and my colleague had a deal. We had a lunch deal on whom has the most team went into semi final. So who will be the next favorite team to carry this cup? I know Spain was ranked as number 2 favorites after Brazil and Spain is playing better and better recently, so I think they got brighter chances. So what is your prediction? Spain, Argentina, Germany, Holland or Uruguay?

First Half, Brazil 1 – 0 Holland

Full Time, Brazil 1 – 2 Holland

This is the today topic. Now they admitted they are wrong, really can’t believe that they can make such mistakes in biggest event in the world. Almost every World Cup also have such mistake, did FIFA take action to overcome this?

I am really pity and salute the team and players in this incident.

Larrionda failed to recognise that a shot from Frank Lampard had clearly crossed the line in England’s 4-1 defeat at the hands of Germany while Rosetti wrongly awarded a goal to Argentina in their win over Mexico despite the fact that Carlos Tevez was visibly offside.

The two mistakes have led FIFA president Sepp Blatter to apologise to the English and Mexican associations and say it would “be a nonsense to not reopen the file of technology” when the International FA Board meets in July.

However, it will be goal-line technology that is on the agenda and not the more general use of video replays.
The debate over the application of technology will continue for some weeks, but for Larrionda and Rosetti the immediate implications of their mistakes are clear.

Mali’s Koman Coulibaly, who famously disallowed a winning goal for USA against Slovenia, and France’s Stephane Lannoy, who harshly dismissed Kaka when he was the victim of Kader Keita’s playacting against Ivory Coast, have also been sent home.

It is the end of England in World Cup 2010. England started well but their defense is out. Easily let Germany scored the first goal. 12 minutes later Germany scored another goal and England keep pressured Germany. They managed to pull back a goal in 5 minutes later. Before the first half whistle blow, Lampard kicked from far and the ball hit the top bar then went inside the goal post then bounced up and the keeper quickly clear it. It was cleared that the ball went into the goal post but the linesman and referee didn’t saw it and let the game carry on.

If I am the England player, I will run to the referee and talk to him, stop the game to give pressure to him. From this match, I can see that Steven Gerrard is not a good captain as he didn’t protect and protest his team well. He should talk to the referee, request for fair judgment. If you continue play means you admitted that was not a goal.

England played full attack in second half. All the players went out to opponent side and this gave chance to Germany scored another 2 easy goals.

From the whole England World Cup matches, I only saw these players played for their country, what about the rest of the players? The number of squad players was about 23 players but why don’t give them a chance to play? Like Peter Crouch, he is tall and good player. I bet he is better than E.Heskey, I really don’t understand why Capello put E.Heskey and not P.Crouch, only gave him played for 10 minutes.

Bad strategy, bad coach!
