Netherland Team Performance In Finals

How would you rate Netherland team performance during the World Cup finals against Spain? Are they playing it fair and square or they are trying a dirty tactics to try out-muscle opponents?

My personal view in this is that Netherland deeply know Spain will use their usual tactic of keeping possession and moving the ball around with fast speed so opponent do not get the ball long enough. Hence the tactic set out is to muscle their way through, and playing it rough with all they could to scare off opponents, and holding off them with whatever way they could to dislodge Spain players from keeping the ball.

From the whistle off, we can see Netherland players is flying in with all sort of tackles, and they will kick anything moving on the pitch except their coach. When they do not get the ball, they will ensure that opponents is sent flying so ball will not be flowing from one to another.

This is that sort of tactics used by Netherland, and they deserved to receive the number of booking they got. Indeed they sould have 3 players sent off during normal time, and they are lucky to remain with 10 players at the end of the game.

Then come the crying baby of Arjen Robben. He's such a wanker around, and he's been trying to get opponent sent off from the very start of the tournament because he's so weak any slight touch on his body will sent him crumbling onto the ground like being shot in the head.

I don't care how people rate him, but to me Arjen Robben is just like Cristiano Ronaldo, a play acting players on the pitch. No doubt they both have good skill under their feet, but they are too often too easily beaten to the ground, and I think Robben should be banned from participating in soccer game for life.

If new technology is introduce into the game, I think players like Robben will be sent off in all games they played for because play-acting should be a red-card offence. I think there's only one respectable player from the Netherland's final squad - Wesley Sneidler

Overall Spain is a worthy winner and more so than Netherland.

Post-World Cup 2010

World Cup 2010 is over, and maybe it's time to analyse a thing or two about it. How do you rate this year's world cup organiser and how's the overall performance of all teams in the tournament? Generally I think world cup is still a world cup. No one can take away its prestige status, but I am a little dissapointed with some performance from teams, players, organiser and FIFA.

First teams are not as strong as we expected them in a tournament of World Cup. There are some team perform well below par, and their sub-standard performance has effectively reduce the excitement of the games itself. Then organiser didn'tput in enough effortin advertising and promoting the tournament as we can see there are lots of empty seats in all the matches. Probably this is due to its country's economic reason.

Then most of the star players performing well below par, and I think this can't be blamed because after a long season in the domestic leagues, they are finally human too. Tiredness has hampered their performance during the tournament since they don't get enough rest in between domestic league and WC. Therefore World Cup tournament is always a place to discover new stars.

Overall I think the world cup really starts from the 2nd round onwards. Teams started to perform to their true strength and unfortunately it's been too late to create the usual havoc from a world cup tournament I think, but still it's a good tournament.

Last but not least, is the performance of referees and officials. There are too many discripancies during the games, and I think FIFA should seriously thinking of introducing new technologies into the games to cut down unnecessary mistake by referees. Afterall referees and officials are human too, and they tends to make more mistake nowadays because of the advance technologies around.

Players nowadays are smarter in using dirty tactics because they deeply know there's no harm in doing so since TV replay will not get them punish during the game. So to win the game they will try whatever tactics to win the match first. If there's any aftermath action, so be it because the game already won and result are not changeable. Referee are under more pressure these days than before too because they only have a pair of eyes, and they can only see one particular spot at a time.

So in order to make football more exciting, and fair, new technology is a must for the game. Just look at other sports like Tennis, Cricket etc, new technologies means to cut down human error. It's time football or soccer game to start using it as well.

Snap Poll Around The Corner

Is it true a snap poll is just aronud the corner? I've been hearing rumous that BN is getting ready for a snap poll and from all actions and activities it's true to some extend. Najib and Muhyiddin and other big shots from government is paying visits around the country, as if there's general election around.

If this is true, what would you think of it? Is it good for the country or BN is again playing it dirty to try gaining the 2/3 majority back from Pakatan Rakyat?

Malaysia-Indonesia Jointly Hosting World Cup 2024

Today's biggest joke I read on newspaper in the morning is that Malaysia has the intention to host the World Cup 2024 jointly with our neighbour, Indonesia. After reading it I can't stop but laugh my ass out because since when Malaysia can call themselve a world class soccer team, and when have they perform to the level of thinking of hosting the world most prestige tournament.

Just look at our ranking in the world. We ranked no 140++ at the moment, and do we expect them to jump all the way up to somewhere in the top 60 or 70 in the world, and can Malaysia Tiger ever perform consistantly throughout the years in order for FIFA to consider Malaysia as the contenders for World Cup competition.

Come on you bunch of day dreamers, hosting a World Youth tournament doesn't mean you are world class, and entitle you to apply for hosting the WC tournament. Youth competition is by far much harder than youth because this is a man's game, not child game. South Africa can stage the World Cup because they do possess some good quality players and they ranked not too bad in the world.

If by 2024, an Asian country is to host the World Cup, I think there are much better and more qualified countries waiting to host the tournament, and I think Malaysia should just forget the idea of staging this tournament at all, first because it's a waste of time and money and secondly Malaysia will be the laughing stock of the world if they are to apply for hosting the tournament.

Malaysia who? Oh... that blardy ONE MALAYSIA thingy ar!
