Woah there! Unexpected Happenings all over the place! (basically a Soccer/Football post)

So Spain beat Germany! Crazy huh? I never saw it coming to be honest (but apparently, PAUL THE OCTOPUS DID) until the game then just watching how aggressive the spanish were being and how many shots they kept getting at the goal, I figured it was only a matter of time before they scored. What I didnt get was wtf the Germans were doing. Playing so

Yay Spain won! I totally wanted them to win 'cos the Germans beat England (and actually, they deserved to 'cos England played shit but it's the thought right?) and well, who likes the Germans? XD It might also have to do with the fact that the Spanish team are quite nice to look at lol

You know I also didn't want this WC to come to an end. D: I was having so much fun watching the games. =/

LOL Paul is scaaaaaaaaaaaary! How is it possible that he can predict the results of the games? xD

Anyway, I was rooting for Spain so I was glad when they won, but for me it doesn't matter if they are the ones who are going to win the final game, I'm ok with the Dutch winning as well, I like the fact that both teams have never won a WC before, I bet they are thrilled <3

Also, I'm happy to know people are getting interested into football over at the USA. :)

I can't believe I will have to wait 4 more years for the next WC... =/ At least this one will be held over at my country; that way I will be able to go and watch at least one of the matches over at the stadium. *__*

This is THE LATEST REPLY IIN THE UNIVERSE. But I wanted to say hi! It's been quite a while since we spoke last hasnt it? Are you still in florida? :D

and Paul continued to be correct even in it's prediction for the Final. Pretty nuts. That is a 10% probability that he would guess ALL of them right. Talk about crazy odds eh? Either he really was pyschic or he was very lucky lol.

Spain winning was pretty epic! They looked so beyond ecstatic to win their first cup! I had fun watching them, but that said, it wasnt the most exciting final ever (definitely one of the roughest and dirtiest though D:)

Yeah so am I! I feel like USA should more involved in soccer, it is a world sport and we are part of the world dammit!
Oh Molki you are brazillian? I didnt know that. Why did I think you were from a spanish country? XD

LOL no worries considering my reply was very late as well. xD What is it with us not using LJ as frequently as we used to?!

Yes, it's been like aaaaaaages since we last spoke. D: And nah, I'm back in Brazil, have been back home for quite a qhile now. :)

My GOD, Paul scares me! xD I mean, that just can't be only luck, he really must be special hahaha

LOL surely it wasn't the most exciting but still I enjoyed it very much <3
I LOVED seeing the boys looking so so happy <3333
I wasn't amused by the dirty parts of that game. D:

Spain (and also the Netherlands) for decades always were candidates to win the tournament. Maybe not favourites but always dark horses with a decent chance to win. But time and again they crashed out early, never living up to their potential. Partly because they always had great individuals but never were able to form a whole team (and the two big Spanish teams often relying on foreign players, same as in England).
It changed decidedly a few years ago for Spain. As you probably have heard they are the reigning European champions. And considering that the semi-finals of the WC four years ago consisted of four European teams and this year of three you can imagine how tough the Euro Cup is. Incidentally, yesterday's game was a repeat of the last Euro final, same teams, same score, similar game. You can call it déjà-vu. So yesterday's result isn't a total surprise. Even if I hoped for a different outcome. :)
