one is still reeling from the czech-greece match they saw over 8 hours ago. greece won, but what a game it was. one had almost dozed off after 93 + 14 minutes of play... one said to one's brother "wake me up if there is a goal"... and the words werent out of one's mouth when the olympians struck... i swear the team has unofficial help from mythological creatures riding chariots of fire. there is NO OTHER WAY except the work of meddling deities that can explain what's been happening in porto's football fields. the results have been unexpected, and unpredictable to say the least. here is what happened. blue team is playing white team, white team has average height of 6'+ cuz they own a small giant Koller who is 6' 8"... blue team has players with names like Giannakopoulos, metropolis, necropolis... its a crazy game, the czechs BY FAR a superior side, impeccable attack, impenetrable defence... but what happens? as the game proceeds, and the czechs cant seem to score a goal, the greeks gain confidence... and once the game goes into extra time, the greeks score... IN THE LAST MINUTE of the first half. and it's over. the fact is, the ACTUAL coming out-on-top of the underdog is so unpredictable...he himself cant believe it. definitely the worst part was the disappointment on the face of the czech supporter. i mean get this... it was an 80-1 win. that's big. what next? the greeks have actually "shown" it to the world. they have proved EACH and EVERY football pundit wrong. they were supposed to be out in the preliminaries, then in the quarters, then in the semis...the punks are in the finals man... thys promises to be ONE good game. on the other hand, we have portugal. home crowd, home ground, and a team that has been playing as one. holland was supposed to be a favourite, but the fact is, they sucked. they put up NO fight against portugal, which proved to be a better team... their play, their coordination, figo... the own goal??? but in all reality, it was a treat to watch. so who is taking home euro 2004? i dont know. id give an arm and a leg to go watch the finals, but someone said i shouldnt cuz "there are too many hooligans in the crowd." me being the good girl that i am, dropped all plans. which was a good thyng since i hadnt booked into a hotel. :p ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ION, while one was watching the match one's mom said: youve quit DT havent you? one: *cringe* ji mom: you could have mentioned one: *cringe! cringe* yeah, mom i would've it's just-- mom (hurt): im not stupid you know one: *CRINGGGGGGGGGEEEE* amma you know thats not it! you just tend to get tense... and then it's difficult to tell you stuff- mom (martyred voice): you are old enuff to make yer own decisions you know, you know what's best for you. one: *CRINGGGGGGGGGEEEE!CRINGGGGGGGGGEEEE!CRINGGGGGGGGGEEEE* let's go for icecream. *cringe* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- shrek two was on the other day. one's mom didnt let one watch it. one's mom was watching cartoons in the national assembly of pakistan. one wants to turn back time. one is also hungry. one thynks one shall go get some food. one also thynks they need to start baking again. now that one isnt working. *shrugs* one is becoming domesticatedier by the day
