Review Portugal against England
Sunday, July 2
It has been a while since the last time my fingers touch and feel the sensation of my keyboard in order to wrote some stories to be read by the people of the world. Hiks! (another statement berangan as if a lot of people membaca blog meks … but the wording of people of the world ittiew is not wrong and in fact it is really suitable memandangkan the internet is actually an example of dunia tanpa sempadan!)
Well, like many other Malaysian, I really do enjoy hanging out at mamak stall during early morning or in Malay, waktu dinihari ketika umat lain sedang sibuk bangun sembahyang tahajud (ZASTTTT!!! Terbakar katanya! Ahaks!! Larikan diri!!). Especially right now at this particular moment whne the world cup fever is really the main topic of the town. Everywhere I go, all the time, no matter it is in the morning, evening, night, stuck in traffic, during breakfast, while the guys standing and have their pee-pee time at the urinals, or even when u chat with your mother through the phone. Everybody seems to be talking about football.
Well, not exactly everybody. Not all 24 millions of Malaysian are talking about football all the time. If this really happen, then obviously the phrase “Makan bola, minum bola, tidur bola” is becoming a reality and the outcome would be tremendously disastrous. (Merasalah meks tengok melambak-lambak jejants bergado ngan bini ala Adibah Noor dlm ittiew advertisement uols!)
As a football maniac fan, I have been a big fan of Portugal since the begin of the !srt round match of the World Cup 2006 Germany, Say No To Racism. Eventhough I am not familiar with all the players but I do knew the rules and regulations of the play. Not like some others who yelled, “Shit, Refree KAYU!!!! Mana ada offside” during the match of France against Brazil and then asked me “Nyeh, offside tue macam mana nyeh?”
well, since the last World Cup in Japan/Korea, I really hate England Team. It is just
my personal opinion. I believe that England is well known not because their powerful teams which possess a lot of skill, but they really rely on the popularity of their players and the families. For instance, when the word ENGLAND TEAM came out from my mouth, spontaneously we will picturing David Beckham, Victoria Adams (and try not to forget her fake boobs!), Brooklyn, Romeo and the newborn boy, and not to forget the Beckingham Palace (depa hingat depa melertops sgt kah nak letak nama rumah sebegitu rupa? Verangan sundel!!) and finally the party of the year event. Another perfect example, England Football Players’ wives (I repeat WIVES, not the players, but their wives or spouses – just try not to offend any England Footballers’ boyfriends, if there is any) had been in the cover or the main focus for the Hello and OK magazine more than any other wives of other countries’ football players.Hence, it is not a surprise when Portugal managed to defeat England and make
their way to Semi Finals opposing France. In fact I’m not surprise at all when England only manage to hold control of the game for only 43% through out the 120 minutes (90 minutes + 30 minutes half time) game. With only 4 shot almost to goal compared to Portugal’s 9 attempts and 21 fouls resulting Wayne Rooney been sent out of the field with a red card, we do not need to elaborate more regarding this match.However, I am really surprise that England team managed to defend themselves even though Portugal’s coach, Brazilian World Cup winner, Luiz Felipe Scolari place the most “cando yang amat – kalo dapat ku jilat satu badan” (bak kata Siti Comel! – bukan meks occays!) the wonderful, perfect creation of God, Christiano Ronaldo which I believe is the best striker ever (bukan hanya kerna goodlook yerk!) but his ability to speed and tackle the ball well (ball as in ittiew bola sepak, bukan bola lain yerk!! Adik adik always fakir yang bukan-bukan!). Just imagine, even after a 30 minutes extra time, the score is tied up at nil to nil. Hence, since that World Cup Quarter Finals does not apply Golden Goal methods, so hence, we witness the most wonderful and tension penalty shoot out (meks hampir sakit jantung yer masa Viana and Petit’s shoot berjaya diselamatkan oleh goalkeeper England, Paul Robinson)
What ever it is, I’m happy and delightful that Simoa Sabrosa and Helder Postiga berjaya untuk menjaringkan goal untuk Portugal. And obviously, thankful to Christiano Ronaldo for the winning goal. (hanya Tuhan dan beberapa kawan meks yang mengetahui betapa kuat nyew meks menjerit ketika Ronaldo menjaringkan goal penamat untuk perlawanan yg best tapi hanjeng punye lama … kebas vontot meks sundel duduk kat kerusi kedai mamak ittiew)
Finally but not last, I believed that Haracio Elizando, the referee from Argentine team is fair and just when some other believes that he had sent Rooney out with a red card is tremendously unfair. Well he is obviously better than the strict referee from Brazil against France match. But that is another story ... till then!
