Start From Zero

Though this time was their last one. Because they were playing against Germany, who is the master of turnover and who always plays stronger in a setback-just like Turkey in this year's tournament. Yes, how dramatic is this! Germany defeated Turkey in a typical 'Turkish way'!

However, with most of the main players absent in the game, Turkey almost dragged Germany down to the extra time. Should that happened, God knows if Turkey would have created another miracle! To be honest, I'd rather see that happens, but this time it seemed Germany was the leading role of the drama, and for Turkey...it was too hard for such an incomplete team to achieve victory over their strong opponent.

Anyway, just a narrow lost of 2-3 was totally acceptable and nothing to be ashamed of. Still a great job for incredible Turkey so far! They can definitely leave the scene with honour and pride. Thanks to this amazing team who kept surprising us by so many late turnovers. We need surprises and we really appreciate such team as Turkey. 

Yes, so is Russia, though they shoot out my favorite Netherlands...T-T Yet I'd rather see more dramas and surprises, a whole lot better than those 0-0 draws ended up with penalty. You know which game I'm talking about, yes, the one with Spain vs Italy. Oh man, that was the most boring quarter-final ever! It was supposed to be an exciting one and yet it let us down so much! That's why you see who won The Man of the Match in that game? Casillas the goalie! 

So, I really wish Russia a good luck tonite. Don't lose to the same rival twice. Cheers!

PS. In half way of composing this blog, I was thinking...oh what the hell am I doing? why would I write this whole blog in English! oh man, so exhausting to write those soccer stuff in english! there must be something wrong with my mind...>.< 

but in order to improve my english, this time i decided to stick to the end instead of giving up in half way...and i made it! XD and that's also why I've been going to the official website of EURO2008(En version) during the whole tournament. check this out http://en.euro2008.uefa.com/ it's really good and I've picked heaps of soccer words and expressions from it. but of course sometimes I really get sick of reading so much english and just switch to Sina sports for easy reading! XD
