...to have written Zidane off. France's win yesterday against Brazil shows that Ronaldhino may be a good juggler of the ball with the feet, but when it comes to setting up a winning goal, Zidane still can do it better. Entertaining match it was, and luckily it was over within the 90 allocated minutes, since I was really struggling to keep myself awake towards the end.
The Portugal-England game was also okay, but better was the Argentina-Germany game.
Well, now the semi-finals are an all-European affair. But its funny how immigrant's (or their children) are the ones actually scoring the goals for their adopted countries. France's team all seems to be of non-European origin, except one or two odd white faces, and Germany's main goal scorers (Podolski and Klose) are also of Polish-origin.
The semi-finals are all late (starting midnight, Lahore time), so it means a few late nights in the coming week.
