more pictures from the euro 08 final where spain won 1-0 on torres' goal:



spain team's jubilation contrasting with the dejected germans (in this case, their captain, ballack)


fabregas lifting the trophy after having a go at kissing it


fernando torres, the match winner, lifting the trophy


the spanish team celebrating!!!!


yep, that should be it for today.
as for irritated americans who think soccer is a game for european fags:
football is played in every continent except yours. with such a lousy USA team, it's no wonder.

fina*!!!!!!!

yes, yes, YES!!!

spain won!!!
i am sooooo happpiiieeeee!!!!!!! (deliberate misspelling - of course)

fabregas made the starting XI
so that started the game well =)



torres and casillas (goalkeeper-captain) celebrating hard


things i noticed during the game:

#1. fernando torres' side parting looks nice!
yep, the dreadful headband was missing
and he parted his hair on the side
so he looked more like the fernando torres that i used to like

torres celebrating his goal

#2. the german chancellor's bad-mood when shaking the hand of spanish players
she totally didn't look happy
the least she could do was try to smile
but her face held no discernible goodwill
what a bad sport!

#3. fabregas did an oh-so-funny and embarrassing dance while celebrating
i just couldn't help but laugh!
he was waving his arms while jumping side to side
he earned it, though!

#4. sad faces of the german players
especially michael ballack!
poor guy bled a lot from a cut on his right eyebrow
and he (along with every other german there) looked so out-of-sorts and dejected and stunned when they lost
and yet, michael ballack was personable with the big shots who shook his hand
smiling all the while
(as you can tell, i have a soft spot for him too)

#5. ... can't really think of much more
i was drifting into sleep by the end of the first half, and woke up only in the 75th minute
so i missed fabregas' substitution, and who-knows what else
am so sleepy

good night!

the spain team (fabregas - bottom second from right)
(and i admit - david silva isn't so good looking;
would've preferred david villa playing)
(and torres looks so unglam in this shot!)


finananananananananannanananana-spainwon!!!!

oh no! i can't believe Russia beat Holland!

more woe! cos i generally feel goodwill towards the Dutch side
but, never fear, Spain are still in the game
all the way, spain!

decided not to go for the 3 o'clock tuition today
thought i'd go for the 6.30 one, but i realise my awesomely bad grasp of theory right now is a more pressing issue.
you can't answer questions if you don't have any knowledge, can you?
right.

here's a funny picture of that spain match against italy, where they won on penalties

see?
haha their individual expressions, and the collective effect of it, are so comical!

and here's another, of cesc celebrating his winning penalty goal against italy
haha i love that kid
but you can never poke too much fun at the people you like!

haha
ok
back to studying

see ya'll

fina*
