The end of the World Cup quarter finals also saw the beginning of the European Cup '06. Not joking. Germany vs Italy and Portugal vs France is what's in store for the semis.

Brazil was a flop against the Les Bleus. They wanted revenge for that humiliating 0-3 loss in the 1998 final, although their coach made it clear they are not bent for revenge. But perhaps the French is indeed one of the rare gems that are able to stall Brazil's charges completely. Note that Brazil managed SEVEN shots throughout this game, which only one of them was on target. Only one word to describe the samba men's performance: pathetic. And their winless streak against France continues (ironically, for all the accolades the Brazilians have received to date, it has been more than 50 years since Brazil managed to defeat France in major tournaments.)

England's loss to Portugal, on the other hand, was not surprising. Coach Eriksson's insistence on the 4-5-1 defensive formation will not reap rewards all the time, although this defence was able to ward off the Portugese attack for 120 minutes despite being one man down. (Wayne Rooney sent off after 62 minutes, that I refuse to comment on further) When it came to the penalty shoot-out, England's weaknesses were exposed thoroughly. Lampard missed. Gerrard missed too. And England were sent packing, 1-3 losers in the heart-stopping shoot out. What a tragedy in the history of English soccer.

Italy vs Ukraine was simply a one-sided affair in favour of the former.

Germany vs Argentina wasn't that interesting an affair either, apart from the brawl that occurred after the penalty shoot-out. Now, we can't plainly accuse the Argentinians of being sore losers. Even if it's one of their reserve players who started all these, why did the German players who converted their spot kicks taunt their opposition's fans? That was totally uncalled for. They (the German players) don't have the right to be so "zhuai" (act power) just because their country is host.

The big question remains: who will be the eventual winner? Watch out for my next entry to find out ^^
