…Clueless

The first match between Germany and Costa Rica was amazing. The Germans led the attack with exquisite passing. Miroslav Klose was pretty impressive and scored 2 goals on his birthday. But the person who caught my eye during that game was Paulo Wanchope. The 6’5″ tall guy just ran casually on the field scoring two magnificent goals. He kicked the ball late, just at the right time, defeating the goalkeeper as well as the defence. The scorcher by Frings too was beautiful.

The next match that I saw was the one between England and Paraguay. Nothing exciting. Just an average game. The cheeky passing between Beckham to Lampard was something to see. England won because of an own goal.

The match between Sweden and Trinidad & Tobago has been my favourite till now. Even though good football wasn’t played, the game kept me glued to my seat. T&T defended marvellously with one man short. Sweden played a disasterous game.

The match between Argentina and Ivory Coast was good in terms of the football played. It was fast but I was too sleepy to watch it past half-time.

Conclusion : In all the matches, the underdogs are the ones who have played a better game because they had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Germany, Sweden & England all had a tough time just because of their over-confidence. This whole month will be filled with excitement.

4. Enchanté 2006 : Here are some pictures I clicked before and after the feté… Preperations on in full swing an evening prior to the feté.

5. My blue boots still have it… : Beckham with his blue boots scored a seemingly impossible goal to end Equador’s world cup journey. The England skipper still has it in him. Victoria Beckham, alias Posh “Anorexic” Spice was delighted. Now I switched the channels to see the IIFA Awards. Javed Akhtar is on the stage to present the award to O.P. Dutta. [...]...
