World Cup Day 23
3:00 Portugal 0 France 1
At the beginning of the World Cup, whenever I told people France will win the World Cup, they laughed. They thought I was either joking, or severely demented. The French, themselves, were not proud of their own team. One of my french teachers sniggered when I casually mentioned Les Bleus to him. "Aiyah", he said in perfect singlish, "France... lousy lah." Well, who can blame him, or anyone else? France didn't score a single goal in the previous World Cup four years ago in Korea.
This year, France has performed much better and well above everyone's expectations. They won the matches against Spain, Brazil, and now Portugal. It is now, France, who will meet Italy in the Finals on Monday.
I stayed awake this morning to watch the Portugal-France match and once again, the results didn't let me down. Zidane scored in the only goal of the match when France was awarded the panelty.
One highlight of the game is Christiano Ronaldo, not because he played an excellent game but because he was booed throughout it. Yeah, he's paying for the Wayne Rooney incident. Just because it was Rooney who got the red card, everyone hates Ronaldo now. It wasn't even his fault.
Grow up, people.
