you shall not pass...


my take on saturday’s clash of the titans between germany and argentina in WC 2010 third quarter finals, would be like the duel between gandalf the grey, of the lord of the rings, with balrog, the fire of udun, on the bridge of khazad-dum of moria, and hence his famous command and warning, ‘you shall not pass’ and eventual transformation into gandalf the white.

since i am betting on the companionship of klose, podolski, muller, lahm, schweinsteiger, khedira, oezil and all, to finally face brazil in the final battle, i guess the question of who represents the hordes of balrog, cave trolls and orcs, should be considered as purely academic...

---------------------------------
BE WARNED: whosoever supports argentina, so willingly and consciously supports the idea of diego armando maradona running buck naked on the streets of buenos aires. oo lord, please no. an act of total disgrace to all MANkind and the greatest humiliation to the proud tradition of the rugged cowboys of the pampas, the gauchos, and of course, the passionate and classy tango.

as for diego himself, he will surely fall from grace as the man who single-handedly salvage the pride of his nation over losing falkland islands to united kingdom with his ‘a little with the head of maradona and a little with the hand’s of god’ little dark trick in WC 1986.

LO AND BEHOLD: some things are just meant for private viewing and usage...hehe.

and i thought football was to be enjoyed as a game and not parellel with anything else especially with a tale that runs more than a thousand pages.

i am betting on argentina (illegal or not,the bets) but expecting spanish (good looking handsome/cute) guys to conquer the world!

enjoyed by the multitude, very true. in fact, it must be so, to be able to attract such a worldwide attention of all and sundry, not to mention the massive investments, year in year out, all year round, to it.
but then, football is more than just visual enjoyment, especially to the players, die hard fans and supporters and all who are deeply and religiously involved in it.
it is love, honor, pride, war, comradeship and being itself. it is, as aptly said by someone, the game of life.
thus, even gandalf and the lord of the rings are insufficient to capture the beauty, thrill, wit, suspense and fulfillment of the game of football at its highest level.
ahhhh, even lofty words can't explain it justly.

yes i am definitely a girl.therefore its expected of me to drool at the spaniards....
because it is a bigger scandal to do if i am a boy,eh?

well that's it tuan pkb, the verdict is out on our very own hari ribut, she is definitely a girl by her own admission, and she loves the spaniards. do you have any problem with that?
with brazil out of the way, maybe, just maybe, her wish of seeing her cuteys in the final seems to be a not so romantic possibility any more.
