boring

1st semi-final WC 2010: holland 3, uruguay 2.

finally holland made it to the finals after a lapse of 20 years. to me, this game was an anti-climax. both teams have played their juices out in the previous one. not much ideas, nor imagination. it was a routine and boring weekly league game, not a world cup stuff. both teams do not make interesting finalists. unlucky ghana should be a better choice.

2nd semifinal WC 2010: germany vs spain.

i think germany will have a tough time this time around. spain is surely a no push over. they might face the same syndrome as holland and uruguay, i.e reaching their peak in the quarter-final game against argentina. if they are not careful and their hunger for victory have somewhat subsides, then iniesta, xavi and villa will be their doom.
