NOTHING IS CERTAIN IN FOOTBALL

       World Cup it's the current it, everybody talking, watching, comments, cheering or arguing about it, so am I. Surprise...surprise... the reigning World Cup & European Cup, Spain is officially out from the World Cup 2014 competition or it's not so surprise? Well, it's still too early to bow out for Spain, but after the tragic defeat from Holland by 5-1 in the opening group match, the Spain seems hard to back on track, the second defeat from Chile said it all. The champion, Spain knocked up after goals from Eduardo Vargas and Charles Aranguiz, the defending champion failed miserably in it's attempt to win a second successive World Cup after a 2-0 defeat to Chile, adios Spain.


     Shocking, but Spain not the only defending World Cup champion country that have to packed their bag early in group stage in the tournament, France, Brazil & Italy are done that before Spain, but Spain is the only country with such great defeat in the first two matches. The World Cup so far is full of wonderful surprises for me, like how German defeat Portugal 4-0, although Portugal have brilliant football players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani, Pepe, Coentrao, etc but German players made goal after goal like a walk in the park especially the first player who made hat-trick in 2014 World Cup, Thomas Muller, he scored 3 beautiful goals on that match, fabulous. Everybody thought the match between German and Portugal will be tight in every corner until the end but it's turn out, Portugal made German team looks too superior for them. Football is not a one man show, it's a collective play and need all the support from all players from a goal keeper, defenders, midfielders and strikers, they need to work together harmoniously to produce a goal, which is a team victory. So, it's a bad idea if the team made one particular star player as their life belt, like Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal or Samuel Eto'o in Cameroon, as we know, the results wouldn't end well.


      In football, the ball is round and have no edge, we'll never know what the results of the matches until the game is really over, although the statistic said one team is better than the other but in the field, it's a whole other different story, like Brazil the most favorite country in this World Cup to gain the trophy, Brazil had a hard time in their second match against Mexico, their every attempt to made goals is denied and blocked by Mexico defenders and the Goal keeper, it was a good match but Brazil have to satisfied with 0-0 score. Argentina and Belgium also having difficulties to beat their opponents Bosnia Herzegovina and Algeria, the inferiors made the superiors team exhausted and work extra hard to won the match, luckily Argentina and Belgium won their match.
      A lot of football experts thought the Netherlands will be beating Australia easily in their second match after they successful first match against the upper class team than Australia, but Australia really gave their best on that match and the Orange team really struggle to won that tight and high tension match, the first goal for Netherlands by Robben only a minute apart from Australia first goal by Tim Cahill, even the goal scorers Tim Cahill (Australia) & Van Persie got their second yellow card on that tournament and they have to miss their country next match. Finally the Netherlands won 3-2 to Australia, it was a great match.
        Football it's not a math, you don't have the certain and exact answer. Nothing is certain in a football match, you just have to sit back, enjoy the match or cheering or cursing along the match, and pray for the best for your favorite team, but in the end you'll never what will happen until the referee blew his whistle in the end of second half time (the last 45 minutes from 90 minutes of the set time of the match). Every second is count on the beautiful, exciting and fabulous game of football. Nothing is certain in football but for Australia, Spain, Cameroon and England, World Cup is certainly end for them, they have to make an early exit from Brazil, because they loose in their 2 first matches. For the girls or guys? who thinks football is suck, wasting time and just a bunch of guys whose fighting over one ball on the field, think it over, because beyond the free kicks, penalties, goals and sending off the Brazilian World Cup might just have a little something more on offer for all of you. Look at the picture bellow you, football is always have a little something in every corner of the field, isn't it football fun to watch ? ^_^.
