Footie Took Over My Life!

So very unlike myself, my week this week has been consumed by football. Intriguing how I have no interest in watching football throughout the rest of the year and the second the World Cup is on, I become the most patriotic football fan that is physically possible. But now that England were out, it was just a matter of watching how the pros do it!

Did 7-1 really happen? Like REALLY??

So I'm one of the people who missed the first half an hour of the Brazil Vs Germany match. But I was on twitter and my timeline was pretty much blowing up. My little sister came running into my room shouting the madness that was the 5-0 to Germany score and I was like

(I feel like the more you stare at this gif, the more sarcastic Tennant seems!)

Decided to be anti-antisocial and went downstairs where my family were watching the match and again similarly to myself, they too have a sudden patriotic boost when the World Cup greets us every four years.

As I was watching, I did not think that anything else would happen for the rest of the match. I thought, "Yep, I've missed the good part. Germany went all out in the first couple of minutes and now they're just going to cool off.". Oh how I was wrong! They carried on fighting harder like they were still on nil points and hats off to them. 7-1 is an incredible score which I believe broke records. Unfortunately for Brazil, the host of the World Cup, my heart went out to them but a game's a game and Germany definitely brought their A-game; a well deserved win.

Brutal and Long; Holland Vs Argentina

So Holland Vs Argentina were next in the limelight and after Brazil's thrashing by Germany's unsuspected win, there was a lot of eyes on this game. If it was going to be anything like the repeat of the Brazil Vs Germany match, nobody wanted to miss football history in the making and everybody was going to tune in - footie fan or not! And again, man was I wrong!

In a few words:

The game just felt like a game of piggy-in-the-middle with the ball just being passed around the pitch back and forth with only too-close-for-comfort goals. But genuinely, I felt that bought teams were playing really well but they were just so well equally matched, which made it hard for either team to score. So expectantly, the game went into penalties even after an extra half an our overtime.

Let's just say, I would NOT want to be the goalie during penalties! The pressure of it all in a regular match must be intense anyway as it's all down to you who wins, so the pressure during the World Cup is pressure that I wound most definitely not be able to handle in any case.

The End.

 

It indeed was the final countdown, and to put it simply Germany won the World Cup against Argentina and good on them! Out of the teams that I saw play in the World Cup, I definitely feel like Germany played like a team of football players rather than pinning their hopes on one good player what many believe is exactly what lead to Argentina's loss.

Germany played strong throughout and what a great win!

England have got four years to pull their socks up!

And that's me all "footied" out! Time for a foot massage!
