No indeed. The French are not to be trusted.
I was sitting on my couch, dressed in my Brazilian jersey i bought at a street market in Brazil itself, and holding a rosary.
Towards the 88th minute, i started crying. I'm not even ashamed to admit it. I was already mumbling prayers because time was short and France was leading with a goal.
Brazil had so many chances...so many towards that last stretch. I think they're trying to kill me here. I pretty much have a stomache right now because i felt like vomiting from the shock. The absolute shock when the 3 minutes of stoppage time were up. By that time i was pretty much sobbing. My beloved team has been eliminated.
I think i was just in so much shock, and thats why i felt nauseated. On top of that, the crying. My eye are red and my eyeliner is smeared. Not a pretty picture.
My English boys also had to see the sorry goodbye. I'm telling you right now, penalty kicks are a pain in my ass. They really are.
But England vs. Portugal was really on the Portuguese side anyway. The Portuguese had possession of that ball throughout the game. England was just...ugh. With Rooney's huge mistake of stepping on the crotch of the guy that was guarding him...no no no. And then pushing one Portugal's players. >.< big mistake. I think that's what cost England the match. Not just the penalty kicks but loosing Beckham and Rooney, jeez...it really slowed down their pace as a team. The double overtime pretty much killed them. I can only imagine the exhaustion.
god, i hate upsets.
Four teams through to the semis. Four teams i could really care less about...but i love the drama at the World Cup. >.< So i intend to keep watching...but..
now who the hell am i supposed to root for???
