Viva La Football!

Headed over to Beng Way's to watch the Brazil vs. Portugal match. Jon, Lillian, Aly, King Yang, Kai Xiang, Edwin, Joy and I went over. Well, watching football with friends beats stoning at home in front of the computer monitor any day. Left early since Jon had wanted to run some "errands", or so he said. Which was basically, buying credit from the local 7-11. Went to pick Aly and Lil up then waited outside Beng Way's place. Again. Just like with the Argentina match wayyyyyy back.

When the rest turned up, we kind of "let ourselves in". Beng Way got back late, again, the same as the previous time we all came over. Ah yes, the similarities just keep mounting. So we got settled and turned the laggy HD on. 10 minutes had passed but thankfully we didn't miss any goals yet. This is when the score update thing flashed by, DPR Korea - Ivory Coast 0-1. 5 minutes later, no still no action from the match on-screen. Then the score update thing flashed by again. DPR Kor - IVC 0-2. WTH?! Another goal's been scored already! So we all switched over to that match for a few mins. Least there was some form of action, several attempts on the goal by the Ivory Coast side in those few minutes.. When Beng Way finally came home and said "Why are you all watching this?! BRAZIL PORTUGAL LA!" and switched back.

Food, munch munch, while watching the Por - Bra match. 5 minutes.. nothing big.. 10 minutes.. still nothing. Once again, just like the previous time. We just sat there. doing.. nothing when someone finally suggested "Anyone up for Pizza?" Well, t'was better than stoning, innit? Then, Beng Way dialled the number..

"Hello? Uhh saya nak.. Blablablabla. Eh why she say call the 1300 num? Stoooooooooooopid fool"
"WTH? Which number you call??"
"The 5122 one la"
"OMG LOLOLOL DO YOU KNOW HOW TO ORDEEER?"

Yeap. Epic Beng Way. HAHAHA!

So yeah. After all, Brazil had secured a spot in the Final 16 and all Portugal needed was a draw. There wasn't much offensive play expected anyways. But c'mon, the first 30 mins consisted only passes from each team. There were barely ANY shots at the goal. I'd say the keepers had it pretty easy.

Oh, I can't tell how MANY yellow cards were given in the game. One minute a Portugal player was given a yellow card, and the next, a Brazillian player would be penalised. It was almost a flurry of yellow cards. I think in those 10 minutes alone there were at least FIVE yellow cards.
Well, at least there was SOMETHING to watch.

The dives were awesome too. I can't remember who, but some Portugal player, raced to the Brazillian penalty box. And. Fell, while stretching both arms out asking for a penalty. Then again, normally people's arms would be faced downwards to instinctively protect the body in an actual fall. Guess it's kinda easy to tell a real from a fake. He got a yellow card from that.

So yeah, the match ended nil-nil. Not to say the best one I watched.. But ah well. =]
