England made it through! WOOHOO!
Let’s face it. England truly sucked when they played against USA and Algeria. They players played horribly and that’s me being kind here. I’m no football expert and I barely understand all the football and match terms but even then I could see that the Englishman were lacking coordination and were not playing like a team. The goalkeeper who screwed up is forgiven (To me at least) I mean, he was man enough to admit he was wrong without blaming the ball or the pitch or other players or the weather. He owned up. Good enough for me.
So anyways, Slovenia was doing pretty well in that group and England hadnt won any matches yet. The England players looked tired and I guess they were probably exhausted after a hectic pre world cup season with their own leagues and all. And lets face it, these Englishman can be ABIT of sissies. I dont blame them. They can brave the cold weather as their bodies are all heated up due to the amount of exertion they go through. But their bodies are not accustomed to the heat and Africa is hot hot hot! And to the smartasses who say that England is hot during the summer then let me tell you that there is a big difference. Trust me. Of course I may be wrong but I just LOVE to make scandalous statements like this!
So yes, when the match started, I was nervous, especially after Harvinth (who supports Portugal?) dared Euga (England supporter like me!) to post his status as Im a wanker if England loses and he (Harvinth) will do the same if England wins. [Harvinth really hates England.] (Update:Euga wasnt brave enough to make the deal, I mean, that’s just how much of faith he has in ol England! so it’s changed to ‘I suck’ now.)
England played relatively well. I only watched the first half, where the goal was scored and they came really close to scoring other goals as well. They played much better than usual, there was more spirit, more team-ness (not a word I know) and less drama. I was pretty impressed with Englands goalkeeper when I found out he is 41 years old. I mean, thats old in football standards and he is still a good keeper. (He plays for Portsmouth but even though they have a rocking keeper, the team still sucks)
Rooney looked lethargic and tired though. He did not play that well. Perhaps the heat was getting to him. He had pink splotches on his face. Ah well, all he needs is a steaming hot steam bath to open his pores, 1 litre of cold water, a cold shower (after steam bath) and a good nights rest to perk him up.
So, all in all, I’m glad England is through the next round but they still have lots of catching up to do if they want to get close enough to actually lifting that cup. England has some really good players (I dont like that stinking cheating rat but I gotta admit Ashley Cole played well last night) but they need to BUCK UP now.
I’m glad USA went through as well but it is dissapointing that Africa is out. The people there must be taking it hard, being the host and all.
Hmm.. I’ve never been to Africa before but I wonder if it rains as heavy as it does here in Malaysia. Probably not but I will be super excited if it does and there is a match going on. They will be drenched!
So although I’m not really following the World Cup and I couldnt really care less about who won the cup, I’m still faithfully rooting for dear old England. Go make us proud England! (Since Malaysia will never ever be in the World Cup -and even if they do, they will be so bad that I’ll pretend I dont know who they are-, I therefore pledge my eternal and everlasting support to the English footie team!)

Oh yes, if your wondering, Harvinth does need to admit he sucks now since England won and I bet Euga will be cursing himself for not keeping the deal to ‘Imma wanker!’
PS. What’s a wanker??
