Good Morning to all,

Last Night, the Dow rallied higher thus this could really see the Dow touching the 10,500 in the near future but meanwhile its Saturday, it is time for our regular Weekend Video treats.

At least 10 video links were sent to my email at Kelvinhan3088@gmail.com over the last 7days and all of them were nice but some were amazing. So I have picked the TOP Three to share with you. If you have came across any great, amazing, astonishing videos, please share it with me and I will put it on the blog for all to share… afterall, we always believe in sharing good stuffs! Enjoy the videos. 

The last one really remind me of my dog who also died on the road… whom I named as SIMBA for his yellow fur…. he died and I cried for an entire day and missed my flight then   ;-(

Good Sunday to Everyone,

If anyone watched how Germany played in the first 15mins, we know that this team have the potential to win the game. That’s a total different attitude and professionalism that they displayed last night. Not only with the slicky passes but the superd team work. I watched the game at home and honestly, when German scored first, I thought that this is going to be rout but when the Uruguay team keep pressing for the equilizer, I know that today is going to be very entertaining and when the former scored 2 times after conceding one, my heart did skipped alittle. Of course, my 1×2 bet is small but I am rooting for the German team right ;-0 ?

But when the German kept pressing and levelled the game and even scoring the winner, 8mins before time and the last freekick that rocketed off  the crossbar… I knew that my bet was safe!

But I must say, forlan have improved alot from his Man U days… this guy got a lot of bottles… take note of him in the time to come.

Here are the highlights!

ps: Who am I rooting tonight? HOLLAND of course! Reasons? I knew Paul, the Octopus will be correct for the germany game, if not octopus sashimi will be next…   Both Mani and Paul picked different teams to win.. so last night Paul got it right… tonight it will be Mani’s turn. Wanna bet?

Good Day,

Too bad my soccer prediction is not as good but I am happy my fav football player’s country, Holland, is in the World Cup Final.

Honestly, I didn’t watch the Holland/Uraguay game but forlan goal and their setpiece goal were brilliant…
I did climbed out from my bed at 2.30am to watch the Germany/Spain game and within 15mins of the game, I know that Germany is going to lose. They are not even trying to play at all.

If the German vs the Argentina game is rated 10/10 for the former, then the game against the spain team was -10/10 for them. In Singapore’s context, = KELONG!!  Any soccer players who know their game will know right?When the highlights were shown after the game, 10 highlights but yet 9 were on Spain and only 1 weak shot from the German! .. Look at the highlight at 2min 50s, Torres is given so much room by the German…just too bad, this guy just slipped on the last moment… but doesnt matter… this clearly show the Spain team deserved to win. Disgraced on the German team, as they let their fans down!
 
But of course,  in the World Cup, Kelong is something common as we all know what happened to the Brazil 0-3 game to the French team.

With Paul, the Octopus, taking Spain to win, I believe our local Mani, the Parakeet, will emerge the winner instead. I am going to go down to  the nearest 4D shop to place my bets on Germany  (I still hate them but I know usually they will bounce back) and Holland (I believe in the Black Horse Odds) to win!! Meanwhile, you enjoy the highlights from the semi-finals. Ole Ole Ole Ole….
 
 

She is simply amazing as its unplanned and definitely the ball was descending fast… her reaction is fantastic!

Although I am no Expert in Soccer Gambling but I knew 2 things.. the odds were against Holland when it met Brazil as near the entire world were betting on the latter to win. But the book makers numbers look pretty odd.. take Brazil to win, win all, loss less… hmm.. and when Brazil scored the first goal.. the odds for Holland to recover increased tremendously thus leading to more punters to ‘eat ball’ and lost everything back as the score was 2-1, in the favor for the Dutch.

For Argentina vs Germany game, the odds were for the former and many thought that since Brazil is out, Argentina will win and once again many punters played heavily on the former. So when the champion-like German kept scoring, the running ball for Argentina keep increasing, leading to more punters betting (was in the Chinese Newspaper) and losing even more as the scoreline was flattering 4-0 to the German. Incredible game. Great Strategy.

For the Spain and Uraguay game, I felt that they are no match for both Holland or Germany… I am looking at a Holland vs Germany final on the 11th of July.

Here are all the highlights

Since Ruud Gullit scored the magnificent power header in the famous orange Neitherland Jersey in the Euro 1988, with my idol Van Basten’s goal of the decade strike from the wings, I have been a big fan of Holland but after the trio (including frank) left the international scene, I also stopped my support. 

Although they won all their last few games recently, but I think if I am to compare Holland and Brazil, in terms of their playing style, I think the former may not be able to withstand the Brazilian overall strength in all departments. The 2nd and 3rd goal tells you everything about Brazil way of penetrating the heart of the defence… from the best way… The Middle…

 Although my heart is for Holland but my logical mind is for Brazil. Enjoy the highlights of my idols and the 2 World Cup matches.

I think many England Fans have only one comment from the game… “White-Washed”

Being a Liverpool fan, I bought S$10 for 1×2 on England but deep within I know, the chance of winning is near nil when I watched the first 30mins…  and of course, the referee didn’t help at all. Here could be the reason why England’s Goal was disallowed! Enjoy the Highlights.

Yesterday,was my Dad’s birthday therefore the entire family went out for a good meal at East Coast Park. When Uraguay scored… the pub near to the hawker centre erupted in life with screams and shout… so loud that we could hear it from where we were eating …incredible…. indeed the World Cup Fever have hit Singapore!

But too bad… to see the South Korean sent home after fighting it out… I was really expecting an upset last night.. The Korean really played well but the Uraguay team was indeed a class better. Now lets hope that Japan will play a good game and qualify for the next round… to ensure that at least one Asia team can prove to the world that we are able to play good football too!

Here are the highlights of the 2 games last night and the 7 goals feasts … and I hope that England can recover from the current 0-2 situation as I am typing but I truely doubt…  3 Lions is going out…

Good Morning,

Until last night, the average goals per game in the World Cup matches were 1.3 but another than Paraguay vs New Zealand game which ended goaless (All Whites, New Zealand is out despite Draw),  12 goals were scored in the other 3 matches! And we have 2 big surprises.

 The Biggest One is that World Champion of the last World Cup, Italy, is OUT of the Competition after their rather amazing defeat to the Slovakia team. The Italian team, was way too over-confident in the 1st half and left it too late. Overall they were much better in terms of possession and ball control and open field play but arrogant and no sense of urgency killed them.

So while we have the Champion is dumped out of the competition, Japan, joined the South Korean in the last 16 with a stunning victory over  Denmark which clearly seem to be ‘dreaming’ most of the time. I foresee Japan qualifying into the last 8 with their next oponent being Uraguay. 

And last, the under-par Holland managed to scraped past a win over  the hard-fought Cameroon team. Ito managed to put himself on the scoresheet this time but luck was clearly on the former team side which clearly unimpressed me. So enjoy this goal feasts and may your day started with a SAMBA! Cheers!
