Damn, I feel so lucky for not being born on a popular country that are involved in the World Cup nor do I dislike many players; because I can actually like and appreciate all the participant teams that are involved in the World Cup. None of this bitter rivalries BS that you can argue all day long. I'm Indonesian so I have close relationship with the Dutch and I actually bought their jersey this year. It looks very nice and ugh, bright. But that doesn't mean I go for the Dutch as I have my personal favourite players involved in each countries. More importantly, my passion for football is as strong as anyones.
Anyway, the Africans have suprised me with their attacking football tactics on this WC. Cote De'voire and Ghana played so well and I'm impressed with their players. It's good to see them play as football (soccer) doesn't get much coverage here unless you have pay TV. Even the English Premier League doesn't get shown here much anymore, which I've missed a lot as I'm a long time follower of Arsenal. They do show the FA Cup Finals, European Champions League and such.
Anyway, does anybody thinks that this WC, most big teams have played quite defensively? Not so much attacking anymore and after one team scores that one goal, they're quite happy to sit back and win it with that one goal. Obviously not the Argentina Vs. Serbia game but you know what I mean. Last WC was more entertaining, I think anyway.
Cheers~
