Yesssssssssssssss! South Africa scored 2 goals against France!

I am so so happy for the host country! South Africa:France , 2:1.

I want "South Africa" to go to the next round; if Mexico and Uruguay match ends in a draw,I will harbor all sorts of suspicions!

I am so so happy!

But I am less happy about following things:

- There have been quite a lot of drama already in this World Cup; so far the French team debacle is the biggest and the nastiest. Their match with South Africa feels like they are not even trying, and what a disgrace this is!

- I am also quite surprised by the way the yellow and red cards have been dished out like hotcakes. I don't think the red card against South African goalie was fair, but the one against Kaka was the worst of all.

- David Villa Punching Emilio Izaguirre just out of the blue was a nasty one as well.

To end the post on less grumpy note and celebrate my recent interest in Kaka, here is a short pictorial collection of the footballer with the STRANGEST NAME EVER (it literally means "poo" in Russian, and as I was told, in some other languages as well) who is nonetheless one of the hottest and bestest footballers there is:












Edit: I just have watched the footage, and after the match Raymond Domenech REFUSED TO SHAKE HANDS with the South African coach. OMPH! The man is a lunatic!

Edit 2: Argentina : Greece , 2 : 0 ! Fantastic! I am so happy for MessiArgentina !

South Korea : Nigeria , 2 : 2. This was a really good match, and I am so so happy my South Korea is going through!!!!!!!

If ‘more vigilant’ means calling things that didn't happen, and ignoring others that did...sure. I know it's a part of the culture of football, and all, but I really think introducing replay capabilities when it came to penalties would be a good thing.

Yes, I hope soon enough the referees would be able to have remote replay devices!
