World Cup Update
12:35 AM
I figure I should get something more interesting for a Title. Or this will begin to look like a soccer blog.Okay - Saudi Arabia vs Ukraine - 0 -4.
Shocking. But I missed the Spain Ukraine game. I should have watched that. If Ukraine is really that much better, I can only pity the Tunisians.
Then again, it could be complacency on the Saudis' part, after seeing Ukraine thrashed 6 - 0. Thing about football is it just goes up and down. Like Croatia - supposedly good but was disappointing - or Japan, performed sterlingly at Qualifiers and made too many mistakes - that's why I don't usually base my loyalty on skills. You have off days and whatnot. I base it on other stuff.
Saudi's defence - absolutely gaping. Striking - not enough support from team-mates, a lot of mistakes. Ukraininan defense looked impenetrable compared to theirs. Has it always been like this, or did the early goal demoralise them into scattering? I don't know, I wasn't compelled to watch. I kept hopping out to watch LOTR. Ukrainian showed better support and teamwork. I'm inclined to think Saudi can be better. We'll have to see the Spain and Tunisia game later. I've not checked the score yet to put some suspense in it.
We're having simultaneous games from now on for the last round. I won't be able to catch Germany Ecuador or Costa Rica Poland. Not even the reruns, be out the whole day. Pity, I wanted to catch Germany Ecuador at least.
