I'm sorry. i just have to blog at this time of the day.
those of you who watched the Germany Vs Turkey match on TV, raise your hands, please.
complains anyone?!
CRAP~!!!!!!!
how could i have missed two goals, one from each side?!
and like it is not my fault. apparently, it is a worldwide phenomenon. and apparently, we, the football crazy world, were deprived of 6 minutes (PLUS
another 10 minutes) of soccer because of a
POWER CUT. ok. what in the world were the people in Switzerland doing?! power cut?! never pay electricity bills?! nah... don't kid me. look how much revenue Euro 08 has generated for the hosting countries! let me give you a glimpse... a wrist band (think Live Strong) costs 5 euro (approx S$11).
THAT'S how much revenue.
i shall quote the live commentary from soccernet:
59' - Well, this is incredible. We've
no pictures from the game, so I'll have to rely on radio commentary for updates! Not our fault people,
but I bet there's a few tecchy lads in Switzerland with their pants on fire right now.
61' - Well, this is bizarre. I'm watching a
blank screen and
listening to a radio commentator describing the game before condensing his ramblings into bitesize chunks for you, the footy-loving public.
62' - Turkey press according to Mr Radio Man, "Turkey are almost toying with Germany," he just said.
Copycat. I churned that one out in half one. Ha!
64' - Ladies and gentlemen, we have sound! And pictures! A power cut meant no action was transmitted to the football mad world for a good six minutes! Bet the pubs in Germany and Turkey were interesting!
65' - Never have I been so relieved to see the green grass of a football pitch! (i SO agree) And we're just about on time too. Sounds like Turkey have been the better side during our interlude...
76' - And we've lost pictures again! Tee hee! Sack the electricity board!!
77' - There'll be a riot on in the pubs and clubs of Turkey and Germany at this exact moment. To be honest, we're not far off one at soccernet HQ. Disgrace!
79' - Right, we have pictures again, but sadly not in time to see a replay of the goal! This is comedy. Ridiculous.
ok. i envy soccernet HQ, and maybe the rest of the world. here, in small, tiny Singapore, NOTHING was on until the 89'. but we were in time to catch the third goal from Germany. oh well....
SACK THE ELECTRICITY BOARD~!!!!

RARRRRR~!!!!
sorry. only soccer fans will understand the anguish i have experienced. thank goodness this is not some Man Utd match. or else.... HA!
anyway, i am sad that Turkey lost. really. i admire their never-say-die attitude. their perseverance. their fight all the way to the end. they deserved to win tonight. Germany were playing poorly. they'd better buck up or else they'll falter during their next match against the winner of the Spain / Russia match.
TURKEY WERE ROBBED~!!!
THE AUDIENCE WERE ROBBED~!!!!
SACK THE ELECTRICITY BOARD~!!!!

i guess i know why turkey lost. they scored first. in their previous Euro 08 games, they came back from behind to win. this time round, they found the net first... so... sigh... but i still have to give credit to them. they outclassed the Germans. that's for sure. i love turkey!
Christmas turkey, anyone?
