Football fever

http://www.wavecaps.com/images/flags/stills/brazil.gifhttp://www.gulf-times.com/mritems/images/2006/6/19/2_92958_1_248.jpg Yesterday's Brazil vs Japan was an interesting match to watch. Curse Indian timings, we got to wake up till night 12:30 to witness the great event. In first half, Japan was concentrating on the defence for long time. And they were successful in thwarting most of the attempts of Brazil forward players- the magical rectangle- Ronaldinho, Robinho, Ronaldo and Kaka. Japan broke the brazil defence ring once and fortunately they converted that attempt into a goal. There were tensions in the face of all brazil players and brazil fans, as they were one goal down at one point of time. Me and my frens were cursing Ronaldo during that time. He was accused then for missing most of the chances given by his team mates. Japan made sure two players were covering Ronaldo always. In the last minute before end of first half, thanks to beautiful cross passes from the other brazil players, Ronaldo scored his first goal in 2006 FIFA worldcup. After that only, we were relaxed. Can't really imagine, Brazil going back to dressing room with one goal down. I missed the second half as it was already late to fall into bed. Morning, woke up to hear the good news that Brazil won the match 4-1, dominating Japan in the entire second half. That was refreshing news for all Brazil fans like me. Viva Brazil, this is the way to go! Wish the finals will be between Germany and Brazil this time. My favorite stars for this season: Ronaldinho, Arjen Robben, David Beckham, Robinho, Messi, Klose, Lahm.
