Tuesday, June 27, 2006. The television captures a village in Ghana watching a battery powered black and white television to see the match. Why could the camera crew not loan the good people a color monitor, goes through my mind. Ghana is living the dream as large as you can live it. They shuddered the finances of the soccer bookies by progressing to round two. Today they can give a knock out punch to the same bookies, if they beat Brazil. Brazil is counting their chickens, before the eggs are hatched.
Friday, June 30, 2006. Both teams bring drama to the next match. Ukraine is the only underdog left in the tournament, their dream is the toughest. Italy is heavily favored but brings a shocking mental baggage to the pitch. The league in Italy is under investigation. Fixed games and betting scandals are keywords in the Italian story, and thirteen players on the field for Italy today are affiliated with accused clubs. The Italian fans spring alive. The love for the cup forgets all disputes.
Sunday, June 25, 2006. The teams come soaked of sweat out of the tunnel. It is over ninety degrees, and they play to the death. Winner stays, looser leaves. Robben and van Bommel, two Dutch strikers, are in the line-up. Van Nisterlrooy and van der Vaart, two other Dutch strikers are on the bench. Van Basten, the Dutch coach, is shaking things up. Portugal kicks off in the tradition purple while the Netherlands play in white and blue, despite our traditional bright orange.
One unique thing about me is that I learn Indian classical dance called Bharatanatyam. My favorite TVS memory is the Washington D. In history class, I hope to learn about different cultures and how they impact the world today. I also want history to gradually become easier for me. To start a fresh post.
Saturday, June 24, 2006. Winner stays, looser goes home. This is round two, there are no second chances. Sweden fought for their rights to play Germany today, winning once and drawing twice in round one. Germany comes steaming from round one, with three convincing wins under the belt. The stadium is loaded with German fans. Can Sweden stop the German train? Sweden touches the ball first, inching onto Germany. The Germans have other plans and demand the ball. The stadium ignites, Germany detonates.
