Two days of Heartbreak

Not that i am a passionate follower of football, but cometh the world cup season, I make it a point to watch a good majority of the matches. Obviously we get too watch the best players.

Following football leagues around the world are not possible except few european leagues ( the EPL, and spanish league, too much of media coverage and over hype..especially english Clubs). I was also amused to see the british press crying hoarse about Cristiano Ronaldo being traitor.



But last two days were days of heart break for me as Argentina and Brazil were knocked out. I could'nt help feeling sorry for Argentina. France deserved the win against Brazil. Zizou showed why he is rated so high and his ability to rise to the occasion. Yesterday he was in good form with some delicate dribbling and passes.

Ronaldinho was a great dissapoinment yesterday and was nowhere in picture. Ronaldo atleast found the ball quite a few times.

With both the south american nations going out....it will be a game with a ball rather a ballet with ball with the exception of zizou.
