So US didn't win the Confederations Cup after giving away a two-goal lead and allowing Brazil to score the winner via Lucio... The US have really showed their spirit coming this far, and this close. They lost their first two group games to Italy and Brazil (3-0), and only got to the semis with a meltdown from Italy against Brazil and their own hard fought 3-0 win over Egypt. They then met Spain with the whole world backing the European Champions as odds-on favourites, but Spain couldn't find a way past Tim Howard and got caught with two goals from two US shots. Brazil showed their might with a comeback victory, and with Luis Fabiano winning the Golden Boot (he's sure to be in the squad for next year's World Cup barring injuries), and Kaka winning the Best Player award, Brazil looks like the team to beat alongside Spain and current form-team in the qualifiers England.
Spain also almost got displaced for third place by host South Africa after going a goal down after some zero commitment defending. Dani Guiza got two goals for Spain to take the lead in the dying minutes, one nicely placed shot and one really beautiful shot-lob. Xabi Alonso then added a third in extra-time to seal the game for Spain.
Well Econs CT is over... Huge burden lifted off my shoulders. Much brain power needing to be recharged, so don't see how I can study much tonight. Now just taking a break... =) Econs should be an okay grade luh.
Haha, here's my official tribute to MJ (1958-2009)!
Michael Jackson - Black Or White
This was one of his many meaningful songs... And this song is really nice in a way that it showed he was at least one in his time that didn't care about racial differences. So yeah, kudos to him!
Bye~!
Hmm... Just some random thoughts... With my previous one that I gave up, I knew it was impossible and extremely awkward to have wanted to go for it, for the consequences would have been extremely unpredictable and most likely rather negative. I gave up for good, but I don't know why, I just don't know why, I then had this come back into myself, not with the same person, but almost the same situation. I told myself not to, but some things can't be helped, so now I'm back in the position I was a couple months ago, just concerning someone else. I want it so badly, but I know the consequences will be hard to take, if it does indeed not go the way I want it to...... Maybe I just got too close/familiar. I suck at this man, why can't I just be like some people who just don't care about stuff, don't let anything but themselves dictate their lives, their movements.
