World Cup Stuff
I can't decide if I'm upset or happy over today's results. Of course I was disappointed that Bulgaria lost. I knew that they wouldn't qualify, but I didn't think that they would lose to Cyprus, and not only lose, but lose badly too. We are not such a bad team, and we managed to score only one goal to their four. It's disgusting, I'm actually really ashamed.
I was pretty happy with Spain, although you could see that they were really bored and they didn't really feel like playing. Torres just kind of hung around the back and contained himself from scoring so that someone else could. I was really happy with Mata's performance, and his good looks. There was no Casillas though, which made me sad. The best moment of the match has to be when Armenia score the equalizer, there was such joy on the players' faces and the crowd was ecstatic. They all knew that they have no chance to qualify for the world cup, but they were just so happy to score a goal against probably the best team in the world right now.
America also qualified which is awesome, I mean I don't really care. Even though I live here and I like America I don't support them when it comes to football, because this nation is a disgrace to football. Also, Argentina did not lose! Isn't that amazing? I've only watched two world cups, and I don't think that Argentina has ever not qualified for a world cup. It would have been awful if Messi didn't get to play, but I would have liked to see Maradona get mobbed by all the Argentinians. There is something about that man that just bothers me.
Portugal were also lucky enough to grab the second spot in their group after winning 3-0 against Hungary, without Ronaldo scoring. It's one of those rare games in which he doesn't score. Maybe he asleep on the pitch? France are also going to play offs after completely demolishing the Faroe Islands 5-0. France and Italy have to be ashamed of themselves. They have been performing so poorly in the group stages that I would never have guessed that those were the teams that made it to the final in 2006. Ukraine also beat England 1-0, but I really don't think that the English cared much about the game. They already qualified for the Cup, why bother? The game that I was actually looking forward to, Russia vs Germany, wasn't actually as interesting as I expected. The group with Russia and Germany was the only really interesting, tight group. Germany had not lost a game and Russia had lost only one game, which was against Germany. Germany won today, and I can't decide if I'm happy that they won, or if I'm sad that Russia lost. I love both sides, and I really, really hope that Russia qualify in the play-offs because they are a great team.
