Hardly lost any sleep the past week due to being too tired from work to be bothered to watch any footie. Tried to wake up this morning to catch Liverpool's Spanish contingent at work against the Russian but i slept right through till 5 am. Woke up just to watch the damn highlights of the 3 Spanish goals.Always had a feeling them under-achieving Spanish boys will come good this time around. I actually did not expect the Germans to actually come this far, especially after the "effective" football they've been playing. Their attacking play was woeful compared to them Spanish.
Talking about the Liverpool Spanish boys, the one that really shone was Alonso (are we STUPID in getting rid of one of the best passers of the ball in the current squad?). Torres i think got sucked in by all the hype surrounding his great form for us. Sometimes he look to to have too much pressure on his shoulders. The lack of goals ain't helping either. But the sheer presence of him in the attack actually paves the way for other to shine - especially Villa. He drags defenders out of position as they are so worried about him. Reina and Arbeloa hardly featured except in their final group match.
Nothing much to say about the Germans as only 2 of their players actually excites me - Podolski and Schweinsteiger. Definately won't mind having any one of them down our left wing and terrorising the defenders.
Well, i'll definitely be up for the final this Monday morning. Just hope i don't sleep through the damn alarm again!!!! Viva Espania! Viva La Selección! Viva La Furia Roja!

omg - their mascot(s) look like a very hyped up version of Dragon Ball!
Yeeehaaaa! Spain did it, the 44-year drought has ended. What better way to do it other than having Torres score the winner?
*ahem* All i can say is that they're no where near the top of the my best mascot list.
