Soccer and Shocker


Surprise , surprise and some more surprises !


World Cup 2010 has seen some substantial surprises – first with some Big teams - France , England and 2006 Champion Italy , being pushed to an exit already .

Came waving the bigger shock with the two most steadfast 2010 front runner Stallions ,my personal favourite teams , Brazil and Argentina being out of the Quarter-finals. Really sad – more so due to a tremendously expected Brazil-Argentina clash in the finals !

Both the teams played undoubtedly fabulous football in the tournament so far .Though personally , I feel due to some bizarre reasons, Brazil was not as vivacious attacking ,against Holland ,as they normally are and Argentina defence looked seemingly penetrating against Germany.

Holland and especially Germany attack has been breathtakingly delightful to watch while they thrashed out the Titans from the Most Wonderful Game on the planet.

Probably this what we call the Luck factor which is needed equally to grab the moment and shine.

No doubt on the expertise of the veterans coaches – Dunga and Maradona , though.
On the same note – all the players Robinho , Kaka, Fabiano , Messi , Tevez , Higuaín , notwithstanding the loss , would be held high for the dribbling skills. You have been fab !

Good luck guys - may be next time !
