GAAAH. Lahm is retiring from the national team and Kroos is going to Madrid. WHyyyyyyyyyyy ( Read more... )

GERMANY!!!!!!! Yes!!! I've lived to witness this! In 1990 I was too young to remember anyway, so this is aweeesomme! Especially after last time and some crap in the Euros. I've felt for a while that Germany have the potential to be the best, but the trainer's choices have really got on my nerves and I have been convinced that Germany would win, but ( Read more... )

Brazil-The NetherlandsCongrats, the Netherlands!! There were no questions of their superiority in this match, although I suspect that it was tough for the Brazilians to regroup after their horrible defeat. They also went out with another clear loss, which makes their World Cup even worse... Despite being more for the Netherlands I was rooting for ( Read more... )

Okay.. so I didn't get my dream final yet again! And yet again the other half went through to face the other half of my predicted final. XDD (Also.. now is the rematch between.. well with Germany and Argentina it's already the third rematch in a final, so there's that... besides being knocked out last time by Germany whereas Brazil were knocked out ( Read more... )

So... the final four are a lot more predictable than what came before ( Read more... )

So the group winners and favourites are through. But gosh were these matchups a lot more even than I thought. I mean.. five out of eight games went to extra time and two penalty shoot outs... Even when in some games it looked like there might possibly be an upset... the underdogs didn't quite make it or have luck on their side. But seriously, well ( Read more... )

In the end at least six Europeans countries made it to the knock out rounds, so that's not all that bad. Some of course had a fairly easy group and some.. didn't. Bosnia probably would have been through if Dzeko's goal hadn't been disallowed (SMH ( Read more... )

Also: Happy Midsummer!! (Not that I care for it. I'll be staying at home)
Well... Since it's been already a week since the beginning of the World Cup, I guess I can break my silence. Obviously, I have been watching most of the matches (at least sort of) while trying to get my crap together and do some (very little) work.
Aaaannyyyyyway

So... it's suddenly really cold and there is snow, which I guess is sort of nice. I'm back to uni after spending the half of my "holiday" sick and I'm STILL not better. It wasn't that hellish to wake up after sleeping only 3 hours (for some reason getting up at 3 pm on a Saturday, so I could make it to the library on time, was worse), but I did ( Read more... )

I would have posted earlier, but I was too drunk/hung over, and have not been feeling great afterwards. I'm not sure whether it was the effects of the alcohol, or just... other stuff. Again: Done with alcohol for a while. I can't say "never", because it probably won't be never, but I just really can't for a while. At least there won't be many ( Read more... )
