World Cup 2010 Updates iii

Semifinals Updates

4 teams are qualified for the semifinals.

..And by this time, me & geng have completed our 'charity' and our 1st choice of match to be in the final is: Spain vs Netherlands.

We submitted 2 entry form. 1st form, we bet on South America teams i.e. Brazil vs Argentina in the final, & for the 2nd entry, we bet on Europe teams i.e. Spain/Holland.

If Spain won 1-0..wahhhh....


***********

Going back to our semis, as predicted, Holland to swipe it. Yes, they took on Uruguay for 1-0. Robben wif my fav Urugien..haha

As for the 2nd semis between Germany & Spain, surprisingly, Spain has took on Germany for 1-0. waduh2...this is very unpredicted. Bt the way, Spain showed that they really have a strong midfielder, well-controlled of ball & understandings.

Not forgetting, they have one of my fav. keeper-Iker Casillas.

Besides Buffon, I can always count on Casillas in penalties.

Back to the game...

Germans look frustrated. And how cant they be, coz in 2006, they'd loose to Italy which made them finish 3rd, against Brazil

***********

So, in 2010, German will meet Uruguay for the 3rd & 4th placing.

Dont Cry For Me ..Argentina...

This WC 2010..for some reason, it was so much of 'upset'.
Besides the elimination of the 2 giants, now, it is the time for the Argentiniens..my 2nd favourite team.

They got eliminated by my 3rd favourite-Germany.
Messi cant really outshines. He was well guarded & locked. poor Messi, I dont think he'd ever scored in this WC.
***************
The overjoyed crowds.

Despite all happenings, my fav Argentinien is still Mr. Gabriel Batistuta.
Tho he dont played quite sometime (dah pencen), but he is still one of my fav footballer.
Adios,

World Cup 2010 Updates i

This year shows how the big 2 football giants got eliminated during the 1st round.
Yes..they were my Italy and France, which they was 2006 WC Champion & runner-up respectively.
Of coz...I felt like wanna gave-up watching the WC for at least 2 days...(in the state of mourning la konon..) but I just couldnt do it. Theres still plenty of matches to be watched.
Captain of the sorrow
With the 2 BIG Giants eliminated, the following teams were finally managed to proceed:
Group A: Uruguay & Mexico (unexpected for Uruguay-this is suppose to be France)
Group B: Argentina & South Korea (congrates S.Korea, at least a rep. for Asia)
Group C: USA & England (why must it be so much hu-ha on Englands ability to proceed to 2nd round? hmm)
Group D: Germany & Ghana
Group E: Netherlands & Japan (huye for Japan!!-another Asia's rep)
Group F: Paraguay & Slovakia (Slovakia really cant fit in, it was just Italy's imperfect/poor performance)
Group G: Brazil & Portugal
Group H: Spain & Chile

MJ-A year apart

Without me realising, its been a year....

I used to listen to hitz fm, and today, for the whole day, it played late Jacko's songs. But it seems, it never got me bored.

Bizarre, but it still hurts each time I'd listen to 'You're Not Alone', 'Ben' and 'I'll Be There'.

(emo la gua ni kan?)


some pick from the net (credit to edmonton.ctv)

One year after pop legend Michael Jackson died suddenly of a prescription drug overdose at the age of 50, mourning fans around the world are marking the anniversary in unique ways.


In Tokyo, 50 Japanese admirers -- one for each year of his life – have been picked to spend a night at Tokyo Tower among the singer's possessions in the Neverland Collection, the only official Michael Jackson exhibition. They were chosen from among 10,000 applicants who vied for the honour.


Across the Pacific in Los Angeles, thousands of fans are expected to descend on Forest Lawn Memorial Park, where the pop star's remains and his golden casket lay entombed in a mausoleum.


The Apollo Theater in Harlem, N.Y., where a young Michael Jackson and his brothers won an amateur night contest decades ago, plans to host a commemoration Friday of Jackson's life in front of the recently installed plaque honouring him.


Later in the afternoon in Harlem, Rev. Al Sharpton and his National Action Network will hold a moment of silence around the hour of Jackson's death.


"He meant a lot to us of all races in terms of bringing us together in another kind of spirit," Sharpton said. "I wanted to make sure that we showed that in the middle of all this that is going on in the world that Michael is someone that we would all stop for... He was more than just a singer; he was a social force and a sense of inspiration."


Jackson died from a prescription drug overdose at a rented Los Angeles mansion on June 25 last year, as he was in the midst of rehearsals for a series of London concerts aimed at reviving his shattered career.


The L.A. County coroner's office later determined the cause of death was "acute propofol intoxication" in combination with the use of sedatives. Jackson's personal doctor, Conrad Murray, was charged in February with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death.
One year later, the pop star whose finances were disarray at this death, is enjoying new fortunes -- or at least, his estate is.


Music industry trade paper Billboard recently estimated that Jackson's earnings in the past year have hit US$1 billion. That includes album sales of $383 million. As well, revenue from the film "This Is It" hit nearly $400 million.


***********

One thing forsure, he was now, even more famous after his death.

Just imagine, even my kids now can even humm & know his songs by hard, & I believe, the same as other kids,.. and thats the magic of him.


...well said MJ, u're still dearly missed...
