Turkey Remembered Istanbul

The ball is round, as proven once again by the resilient turks. Defying odds and logic, at the same time sending the croats into oblivion. The croats thought victory was theirs with 1 minute of 2nd extra time left, the scoreline reads croatia 1 - turkey 0. Rockstar/Law graduate/Croatia Manager Bilic was celebrating what he thought was his side's victory only to be sucker punched with a last min equaliser by the Semih, the same man who did it the last match and here is the same guy who battled kidney problems earlier on in his career. And when Modric who was the only one interested in playing attractive football missed his spotkick, another great comeback was on the cards. The Croatian players were unconsolable, literally wailing on the centre of the pitch, slumped. Beauty of football.

Although my eyelids were exceptionally heavy during the match (i think somebody slept midway through the game), the great Istanbul comeback and Turkey's habit of leaving it till late kept me awake. 119 mins of absolute boredom, 1 min of magical madness. Beautiful sport indeed.

Go Oranje GO!

Condolences to Khalid Bouhlarouz, having to overcome the grief of losing his daughter and still making himself available for Van Basten's team. i salute his professionalism. How many people would do that? You have some players faking imaginary injuries and not play. Here we have a father losing a daughter, and still wants to play for his country. Come on Holland win it for him!

School will resume on monday, i bet we are going to see zombie-like soccer fanatics going to school on monday. On Thursday went out with Ang Tao and Alvin. Details of the outing cannot be revealed. We basically walked up and down Orchard Rd. Then went seoul gardening with ray,selfie,zy,ang tao and ben at cwp. CWP sucks la, next time we go somewhere else can. budden still enjoyed the outing but i had to 'pung seh' ang tao and went to meet fir and kai.
