It was ten minutes to the end of the game between Australia and Japan when I suddenly woke up from my sleep. I went to bed early since i want to watch Italy match at 3 am. But was woken up too early by a dream, a dream about a friend of mine. He isn’t my old, a long time no see-friend but recently it was getting hard to see him since he has moved to other company. He is a very funny guy, yet unique and naive person. I don’t have the slightest idea why I dreamed of him because it’s been a while I didn’t have any contact with him nor did have a little thought of him before i go to sleep. Hope everything is just okay with him. The game closed with Australia beat Japan 3-1.
Wow……another match is about to kick off. I heard a national anthem is sang and quite familiar in my ear. That’s the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ and then the camera moved on spot on the audiences in the tribune raising a banner with "US" written on it. Not long after that I saw Pavel Nedved, a man without belly button from Czech Republic singing his anthem. Then the referee blew his whistle, a match between US vs Czech Rep.is started. I’m still writing this post when the first goal score in the first 5 minutes. Yay……..that was Czech who scored the goal. Despite the fact that US is at 5th place of world football rank, to me they just like a baby, a baby who just started learning how to crawl. I’m sorry to US supporters if my opinion is a little bit harsh and offensive but I gotta be honest with it. There’s no way that US can defeat one of the world well-known strong football country such as England, Italy, Argentina or Czech where football tradition and history rooted among the people. I don’t want to mention Brazil since Brazil is obviously not a match for them. As I said a baby…..course there’s still a future lies ahead. Not in the near future though, maybe in 10 or 20 years. And my opinion is proven shortly……another goal for Czech has just scored.
Having a look at the betting market, the one that Edwin gave me taken from asianbookie.com. The voor for US vs Czech Rep. is 1/2 : 0. Czech give 1/2 ball to US, it means that Czech is favourite to win over US with 1 goal difference, so the match score can be 0-1, 1-2, 2-3 so on. But the predictors in asianbookie.com bet on US to win the game. According to Edwin’s friend, this site is very popular and reputable betting website in Asia. It has a full prediction from the experts and has so many believers. Very strange and i just don’t get it. Oaehmmm….I’m yawning but it’s too late to go back to sleep and pretty sure that i’m gonna miss Italy’s match if i try to sleep now. Can’t forgive my self in a million years if i missed this match. I don’t care what others think about my fav. team Italy, good or bad they would play, win or lose, my heart is always with them (and Brazil). Forza Italia.
