WHOOPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I have to hush my exhilarated typing that is so charged by adrenalin so not to disturb the sleeping beast next to me.

Yeayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. I am one happy little bean.

Portugal is through to the top 8, and would be playing against England(sneer!) in the next round.

During one conversation with a cab driver 2 weeks ago, I told him I would hope to see Portugal advancing and kick some English butts.

Oh yes, oh please, don’t let that bunch of smug English(can you believe it? They actually compare those cows wives and girlfriends of English players to that of Ecuador’s, saying how the Victoria equivalant is a frumpy plain Jane?) venturing more than they already should.

That is just simply unfair.

I heart England, but they are a team of 11 individual players and not a team, and it gets increasingly excruciating watching them play without them gelling their acts together.

I think how much their wives and girlfriends spend seems to overshadow the players’ abilities.

Oh yes, yesterday’s match between Argentina and Mexico was simply brilliant. Now, that’s what I called balance-play and an exciting match. Mexico really gave Argentina a run for their money.

Perhaps the initial rounds did sift out the strong contenders, and we are in for some quality footie actions….(I hope!)

Today’s match was pretty cute(no no, I don’t mean puppy-eyed Deco, charming Figo, droolsome Ronaldo, nor smouldering Ricardo), and I especially liked it when towards the end of the match, the 2 teams’ red carders(Deco and Giovanni) sat side by side chatting animatedly, and the commentator termed them ‘the bad boys’ corner’, not unlike a couple of school students being punished.

But stupid Starhub had to cut off the celebrations to show the stupid list of sponsors which most probably be on my boycott list right now for constantly tainting my viewing pleasure.

And please O Lord, let Portugal venture on to the Semis!

My ideal?

Portugal/Spain/Brazil. But I would be so heartbroken thereafter. Only one of them could venture on to the finals.

So my guess?

Argentina V Italy, Portugal V Brazil(whee! They can scold each other in their native languages), though I would love a Portugal V Spanish fixture.

Very ideally, I would love to see Portugal or Spain, perhaps, and Italy(Damn, they will have to beat either Germany or Argentina!). Yes yes, me and my favouritism at work.

Gee, I think the semis would be much exciting to watch.

Oh, I am being too ideal here.

And I tend to jinx my favourite teams.

Sobsob.

And who knows… the underdogs might just creep up from nowhere, and the underperforming teams might start to shine.

To quote Alex Fergie, ‘Football, blardy hell!’, you never know what you gonna get. And the best team, might not always win.

And we all know how England has their silly luck since the start of the World Cup. -Shudders at thought-

Alright. Time for some cuddles and some sleep.

Good night.

Oh yes, I am happy, for now.
