The Good, the Bad and the Crap

Nearly a week into the world cup and we now have teams going home, teams proceeding to the next round, and the world teeming with football-obsessed fans – it’s all over, you can’t go anywhere without stumbling on empty beer glasses, drunken yobs and people rioting in the streets… but then again, that’s a normal Saturday night in England.

Dramatic end for Poland in the game against the hosts, Germany; most of all, the Polish goalkeeper didn‘t deserve to suffer that injury minute goal… that was tough.
Following their first defeat, against Ecuador, a Polish supporter apparently wanted to sue the coach for alleged moral injuries, which he claims, he sustained while watching Poland loosing the opening game; I guess only the capital penalty for all team will ease his grief now…

(In the meantime, it’s already one week since the WC started, but who cares, I have other things to do and you are all too drunk to read this drivel, anyway – that’s why there’s 0 comments to my deep, insightful posts.)

So Germany, Ecuador, England, Holland and very-much-especially Argentina (which might just be waiting for Portugal, in the next round) have all qualified already; Sweeden, nevertheless, has only one foot in the next round.
Shame about Ivory Coast - if they had beenin a different group, certainly they'd qualify...

Anyway, Portugal is playing tomorrow and I have a feeling it’s either going to be a great game (Portugal could be the 4th European team to qualify, this Saturday!), or a dastardly, awful match – ‘cause when Portugal plays a non-European team, the weakest ones in particular,they don’t win or play like crap… usually both, at the same time.
