101' Dalmatian

No "short white hair marked with dark spots" dogs, the 101 just marked my current article stat :p

Well, some conclusion for World Cup 2006 -- Italy won. But, I'm getting to admire Zidane more and more. Reason? Nah.

Gonna have midterm test next Tuesday (1st Aug) and head home on 4th Aug. Just a short 1' week break before coming back for friends' convocation.

Till next post L-)

I don't know what to call

Well, last night Germany wins over Portugal to attain the 3rd place in the World Cup 2006. A quite happy ending for the host country folks.

My hp's screen suddenly decorating itself with some horizontal and vertical black/color lines. In fact, the lines are increasing day by day. I hope my hp won't be "line crowded" and can stand until I go back to Kuching for some services *pray*

Haven't complete the tasks assigned by my fyp supervisor. Should I watch the World Cup Final tonight? Italy or France?

After this final match, one of the greatest footballer will retire. I'm pretty sure you know about this guy. Yes, he is Zinedine Zidane of France.

Farewell Zidane! May his career ends perfectly with the lifting up of the cup *winkz*

P/s: I thought I saw 4:44pm again :-L Always saw this time, abit eerie :))

Germany out too!

The match between Germany and Italy on 3am, 5th July resulted in the end of Germany's journey in World Cup 2006 when Italy scored 2 goals in the last minute of the additional extra time (aet).

Meaning, Italy is going to the final.

A newspaper report stated that a witch has forecast that Italy will win the World Cup 2006. I don't know how true is this, but looking at Italy now, chances are that they're gonna be the champion or the first runner up. The prediction is 50% correct :p

Later at 3am, Portugal will kick against France. Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Thierry Henry, Ricardo -- the goal keeper that saved 3 penalty goals in the quater-final match with England.

Anyhow, not gonna watch the match, coz tomorrow morning got lab. Nitezzz!

England & Brazil out!

Last night (11pm, 1st July to be precised), I watched the England vs Portugal match with ry, yx, pyy and hk. The match ended in 0-0 draw and eventually both teams were given half an hour additional time to make their last struggle. However, they still fail to score any goal. Thus, penalty kicks are required.

1st penalty: Portugal scored (Simao); England failed (Lampard). 1 - 0
2nd penalty: Portugal failed (Viana); England scored (Hargreaves). 1 - 1
3rd penalty: Portugal failed (Petit); England failed (Gerrard). 1 - 1
4th penalty: Portugal scored (Postiaga); England failed (Carragher). 2 - 1
5th penalty: Portugal scored (C. Ronaldo) & win. 3 - 1

Initially, it was a bit boring game as both teams were not aggressive enough in finding chances for goals. But, the injury of David Beckham just after half time added some spices into the game. And, to add in more flavours, Wayne Rooney was given a red card after 62 mins for stepping on Carvalho's groin @_! Both strikers were sent off!!!

In the penalties, Christiano Ronaldo scored the winning penalty, sending England team back home.

Meanwhile, the latter match (3am) between Brazil and France "surprised the world a bit bit" when Brazil was defeated by France with 1 - 0. This indicates that Brazil's hope for World Cup 2006 Champion ended here. Samba no longer rules in this World Cup 2006.

To recall, Brazil has also lost to France in 1998 World Cup final. Looks like they are meant to be tough rivals in the football arena :p

Semi-finals will be Germany vs Italy (4th July) and Portugal vs France (5th July). The losers of both matches will be competing for 3rd and 4th place on 8th July; while the winners will meet in the FINAL on 9th July.

Let's open our eyes wide wide and see who's gonna be the winner of World Cup 2006!

P/s: I think Germany will meet France in the final, and Germany will win. Just a prediction hehe *winkz*
