usually i REALLY don’t like cristiano ronaldo. no doubt, he is very skilled, but he plays a much too flashy style of football for my taste, he seems way too narcissistic and full of himself. i like the lampards and the inestas of this (football) world.
but tonite i am the hugest cristiano ronaldo fan. go on, portugal, send the germans home, so that we can finally start to enjoy this tournament… yeh.
(but of course it is alread clear that klose, who so fa had the worst tournament possible, will score two lucky goals late in the game to equalize and the germans will pass to the semi finals on penalties. as per bloody usual)
after last night this is now truly a football season to forget. young boys, our local team in bern, has a chance to win the swiss championship, but then lost the all deciding last game in the most pathetic manner. in all the other european championships that i follow, my least favorite teams win (in order of my dislike: real madrid (aka ichos de puta), bayern munich (aka stinketown), inter milan, manU). fc barcelona turns into the new fc hollywood and excels only in drama off the field this season. and then last night in moscow chelsea slips (first didiers hand then terry’s foot slip) and loses the champion’s league final on penalties …
the only thing that could make the season any worse would be, if germany wins the euro, that is about to be held in switzerland/austria … oh please god, no!!!!!!!111!!!!!111
