I keep waiting for this unnatural burst of energy...and its not coming.
I'm waiting for that Disney moment, when everything will fall into place, and i will have gained perspective and determination and discipline.
Instead, I'm sitting here, unable to finish an essay that will be two days overdue when I finish it!

Football and Parents
Firstly let me start by proudly saying that today is my parent's 25th wedding anniversary!!! I am so proud of them. They went out to spend the day together and got back a few hours ago to freshen up before going out to dinner...that was their story. In actual fact, they came home, and my beautiful parents had bought my sister and I the Portugese ( Read more... ) -

Well it is time to face the facts...Spain is also out after a 3-1 loss to France. I don't feel too bitter about it, coz it didn't end in a 94+' penalty shot! However, I really think we could have won.
I have made a new enemy in Henry! What a cheat, I cannot believe what he did! Faked getting hit in the face by Puyol (spelling???) when the replay ( Read more... ) -
Still haven't recovered
So I suppose I'll have to update, as I usually do...though with heavy heart. I cannot believe what has happened! It was the worst end to a game I have ever seen.
I am going to try and be neutral for a moment and say that Italy played superb defense when they were 1 man down and Australia did well, keeping up the pace (something that has been so ( Read more... ) -
Continued from earlier blog
Ok, we are now only hours away from the game, and nerves are running high in this house! I found some comments I really liked on the Sydney Morning Herald site again. To some it might sound mean, however this is football, and before any game you get worked up, and after it (usually) you just turn around, shake hands and be a good sport about the ( Read more... ) -
On the eve of battle!
And here we are, preparing for the battle of Kaiserslautern where Australia's fate will be decided. Win or lose I'm so proud of the boys...however, having said that, I'm confident we can...no, WILL win! YAY! We can match them in pace and technique and I think the Azzurris have a thing or two coming at them. So now, all I can do is wear my green and ( Read more... ) -
BRING ON ITALY
Lots of screaming! suffered a series of heart attacks! I cried again! couldn't believe the game! hadn't been so on edge since Korea vs Spain 2002 WC! I'm Elated! Simply Elated!!!
This has got to be the game of the tournament (at least thus far). SUch a battle. Australia really has a habit of putting on a show. If you don't know what i mean...where ( Read more... ) -

I watched the Spain game. I was trying to wait till after my Thursday exam, but it didn't happen.
It was brilliant, as usual. The best part had to be seeing Raul score, (and it wasn't an easy scramble for the ball either). I actually cried, come to think of it, I've been crying a lot lately. Must be the pressures of exams compounded with the thrill ( Read more... ) -

I am in mourning! However, I am determined it will not last for long, as different thoughts and reflections console me.
1. We played brilliantly and bravely, and unlike some other teams, we were fighting till the very last second.
2. We shut down both ronaldo and Rohnaldino most of the time.
3. Lucas Neill, Scott Chipperfield, Vince Grella, Mark ( Read more... ) -

Yes, Portugal did win! Beautiful Portugal! 2-0 (no goals conceded so far...Ricardo rules)
I knew our first goal would come from Deco, and I'm happy for Ronaldo. The guy tried so hard to score, he deserved to get one for Portugal. Brilliant! I am happy, happy, happy! Figo played a nice game, and got a scrape on the face to prove it. Deco was of ( Read more... )
