Yay! Singapore won Lebanon 2-0 thanks to Aleksander Duric and i forgot what the other guy's name was. But who cares we are now third in the group and are one step closer to going to the world cup. That is one of my dreams. To see Singapore play in the World Cup. I don't even care if they get knocked out in the first round i will be happy that at least we made it. That in itself would be a great achievement. Well Liverpool have got Everton next. Shouldn't be a problem because it is at anfield. But we should not be too complacent. It is a must win because both of them are battling for 4th spot and also because it is a Merseyside derby. So it is a matter of pride too. WE HAVE TO WIN!!! Aiyo then we have Arsenal in the League and Champions League! It's a tough two weeks ahead. Mascherano has been charged by the FA for misconduct. Sigh!
International Friendlies:
(there were a lot of friendlies so im just going to give the scores for the higher standard matches)
France 1-0 England
Austria 3-4 Netherlands
Portugal 1-2 Greece
Sweden 0-1 Brazil
Egypt 0-2 Argentina
Switzerland 0-4 Germany
Spain 1-0 Italy
Franck Ribery scored from the spot for France as David Beckham won his 100th cap. (i'm not going to go into whether he deserved it or not). I don't really want to list everyone who scored in the Netherlands match. I can't believe Portugal lost to Greece. But then again they are the defending Euro champs. Brazil won Sweden which i think everyone saw coming. This match was playes at the Emirates stadium in London and it seems the Arsenal fans were booing Anderson constantly. And it seems this Alexandre Pato (the goal scorer) is hot stuff. Haven't seen him play though so i can't judge him. Plays for AC Milan i think. Argentina...no surprise there. I tried finding out who scored but i guess this match was soo low key that there is no record of the goal scorers on soccernet.com. HAHAHAHAHA! Switzerland kena thrash by Germany thanks to Klose, Podolski and another guy whose name i cannot remember who scored a double. It has now been 51 years and 18 matches since Switzerland beat Germany. I wonder what Pascal's face looks like now! Now for the hard part. Italy's loss to SPAIN. David Villa came on as a substitute for Nando and scored the winner. Sorry GEORGE! And it's not like as if we played a lousy team. Buffon was in goal, Pirlo as a left winger. Materazzi, Cannavaro and Grosso were all playing in defence. Toni was playing up front. Unexpected. I just hope they regain their form by the time Euro 2008 comes around. Wow i wrote a lot today. Gotta go now. Will be back with more football news next time! Bye!
