cup runneth over
argentina v. germany
i feel like a seer right now. or an octopus.
the game was really something to watch. germany's defense were tight and, until the second goal, argentina fought so hard. the equalizer just would not sink in. germany continued to play like titans and then the match was over in seconds.
wonderful match for some. heart breaking for others.
paraguay v. spain
ohshitwhatagame! this match reduced me to wibbling sounds and endearments. i found myself saying baby so many times tonight.
*pique exhibits startling control at the start of the game*
me: oh wow, baby
*torres with a deft touch*
me: come on baby, you have to go for it!
*xavi wheels around with a beautiful kick and why is he so awesome, seriously*
me: almost baby!
*iker breathes*
me: you got this baby.
paraguay weren't giving anything up. anything.
and then the penalty! i felt my belly crawl and then nothing. i knew he had it. i knew it. no need to worry. and he did.
and then the penalty! and then i couldn't figure out why?
and then the penalty!
and iker again with the test and thank you for being who you are and i feel like i should quote fabolous because yes he is an amazing goal keeper and please stop forgetting it.
iniesta! villa for the clean up and you knew the goal was coming. you knew it was coming, the only question was when. and then the only word was finally.
and then sergio and the hoovering. boys!
but finally.
celebrations!
congratulations spain for your advancement to the semi-finals!
