Here we are at the quarter final stage of the World Cup; we have 2 days of uninterrupted sleep before the matches are back on at 10pm and 2:30am.
Huge; huge games are coming up with my perenial favourites Argentina versus the unexpectedly brilliant Germans; The pride of Africa-Ghana take on Uruguay, the impressive Brazilians take on the "still-not-up-to-their-best" Netherlands and Euro 08 Champions Spain against "How-the-f-did-we-get-here" Paraguay.
I'm actually surprised that my team Argentina have reached this stage, Maradona has almost zero coaching experience and is somehow relying on his character and charisma to will the team through.
Still after the debacle of the last World Cup where they failed to qualify from the group stages; this is a real bonus !
This is what The Sun of UK said about Argentina:
"Argentina have been the most entertaining team of the tournament so far. Their swashbuckling style of play has only been matched by Chile, but Chile don't have Maradona the circus master and Messi the acrobat; nor do they have Jonas Gutierrez as the clown played out of position.
Ignore prejudices, the Hand of God and all that nonsense: if Argentina win this World Cup, Maradona's redemption will be one of the great football stories of all time."
Poor England, Italy and France...all deserving the flak they are receiving from home.
Despite what some people said, I think this WC HAS been exciting especially with the shock results and the even more shocking performances of the 3 countries that I mentioned.
So for now, enjoy sleeping through the hors of 2:30-4;30am till Friday !
