Spain, you better kick Germany's butt!

So Spain beat Russia 3-0 on Thursday. It wasn't as exciting as Wednesday's Turkey - Germany game, but Spain did play beautifully. It was like watching a ballet: their flow was amazing, their motions were fluid, and they played a really clean game. Good job Spain! Russia, on the other hand, played like typical Russians from a Hollywood movie: super physical and aggressive (and there was one guy that looked sooo scary, you know, the one with the beard...). Their hands could always be found pulling, holding, or pushing the nearest Spaniard and it seemed like they didn't have a care in world if they were touching the ball or other ppl's bodies when they challenged a play. Anyways, after an uneventful 1st half, Spain scored the 1st first goal of the match 5 min into the 2nd half and the match started to get more exciting. Some of Russia's tries were close but Spain kept them out of the box leaving Russia to shoot from 25 m out. It'd be good to see how Spain's defense holds up against the German's offense. Hopefully, it'll be good enough to stop the German's headers from inside the box. Anyways, as the title of this post says, Spain, you better beat Germany tomorrow! Go Spain!!!!

Farewell Turkey...

Turkey, you deserved to win. What can I say? Life can be so unfair. Playing without 9 of your starters, you rocked Germany and showed the world that you guys are an awesome team and a force to be reckoned with. You stole the ball off of every German player, capitalized on the Germans' smugness, and made it one of the greatest games I've ever watched. If only your second string goal keeper didn't suck so much... ARG! So frustrating! For those of you that didn't watch the game, you should, it had comedy, suspense, action, and everything else you could ever want from a soccer game. My voice is still recovering from the game. Anyways, there's more I want to write, but I'm at work right now, so until next time!

Let's go SPAIN! Make sure you kick Germany's butt in the finals!
