swedish heartache!

when i saw the yellow and blue on the faces of the swedish supporters, i felt that i should root for the 'underdogs' due to germany's home advantage and of course, the fact that the swedish make such fantastic baked salmon and meatballs in sauce at ikea makes me all the more supportive?

but it wasn't to be... and like i said, some referees should be sacked, and the only reason why this referee shouldn't be given the boot is because there are worse referees out there in this world cup season... like that should be legitimate. hmph.

because of people like that, whom i doubt do not take in bribes, the game is tarnished and blemished with so much controversy... handballs are ignored, fouls are ignored in some and overly reacted to in others... yellow cards are handed out wrongly and red cards given after the yellow cards (which is right but they do it in other way around)...

talking about football players not being up to par to expectations and their abilities... we should also start 'hammering' the referees for such 'inappropriate' behaviour... this standard of refereeing should be done and over with... but then again, it makes shamsul maidin such a darling... and finally puts singapore on the global map for football albeit in an unusual fashion... :)

the next would be argentina against mexico... hm... well for all that my opinions are worth, i usually love the top seeds... but once they play under par, i hope for the cinderella story to come true for the underdogs...

but right now... i know i am overly concerned about soccer (which is rare) and making more comments than i usually would... i haven't been concerned too much with the looks of the players (though my younger sister has started to notice miroslav klose)...

weird.

i still love gerrard though. :)
