In the middle of my midyears...

This mid year is quite interesting, in my 11 years of studying life, i have never been so slack for my mid years before.

With my mind on the world cup, it seemed like everything that went in, went out. Hahaha, the likes of steven gerrard, ronaldinho, messi etc etc are always more easier to remember than principle of fluotation, principle of nuclear magnetic resonance, and all the distributions.

Therefore, i'm quite sure this mid year won't be anything like before, let's say about 30% effort i guess. I still have a chemistry 1 and 2, fm 2 and physics 1 and 2. Don't feel like studying for these papers, since i already gone through it once. 9233 quite easy, except for a few stunner question that will not affect your A in any way. F maths gone case, this is the first time i'm so impressed by my teacher, I couldn't even write anything out, no clue as to where to attack the question. Physics chem out of the question, since its CONTENT subject, and unfortunately the content isn't on "how many times have brazil won the world cup?" Similarly you ain't going to get GP questions like "Club or Country? What are your views." or "Discuss the impact of diving and simulation on The Beautiful game."

Ok so talking about world cup, let's get down to business, quarter finals are here, Germany Argentina England Portugal Italy Ukraine Brazil France.

It would no doubt be cautious play by any teams, but it will be exciting if the 1st goal doesn't come early. The team that impressed me in the world cup so far has been argentina. Their way of "pass the ball and move" have been pretty impressive, the mutual understanding and movement of the players are superb. Brazil on the other hand, has just got the quality to get the job done, but this will be their first big test against France. The Brazillians have not been living up to expectations, at times lacking understanding. Ronaldo, getting all the criticisms and saying he should be dropped at 1 point, and after scoring 2 goals everyone is saying he's good. I can't understand them sometimes, this guy is class, and you write him off like an S. League player, luckily the brazil coach showed why he's a coach and others are purely critics.

Spain also impressed me and i expected them to go to at least the semi-finals, but thanks to a thierry henry watching the previous world cup and learning from rivaldo, his Oscar award sort of earned them the win. I always thought he was a good player, but that play acting shit caused me to lose all my respect for him. It was absolutely disgraceful.

England have so far been playing like crap, but considering the fact that they have a fucked up coach, they are excellent already. I can't say anything more about the hp shit, but just wonder when are they going to go out. The england portugal match will be an interesting one, cause it will be great if they get through to the semis. Tactically portugal already have the edge, scolari knows what he's doing, and well the hp knows too, just that his mission is to destroy england. Therefore its up to the england players to show why they are 1 of the favourites to win the world cup.

Therefore the conclusion, italy and france are lucky that their cheating wasn't caught by the referee, ukraine is simply enjoying their long stay in the world cup finals, Germany a so so team with the huge homeground advantage. Hence my prediction for the final.

Argentina VS Brazil
