Today Indonesia have an election day for president, and Indonesians have a day off, so they can vote for their future president. From the bottom of my heart I really wish the best president that really care and love Indonesia will emerged as a winner, the new president will do his best in his power to make Indonesia prosper, better, and peaceful. Whatever the result, I hope Indonesians knows that we are one, although we have different preferences and different choices, but we still stood together hand in hand as one nation and eventually we build our nation together and we will defend our country together, because we are Indonesians. For the elected president, whomever you might be, congratulations but please remember heavy duty and responsibility are awaits for you. May peace and prosperity be upon Indonesia.
It was a peaceful and sunny morning to vote, usually everyday the streets of Jakarta are full and traffic jam are everywhere, but not today, the peoples take their time because today is special day off to vote and most of them are still dose off try to shake their sleepy head because already wide awake since wee hour to watch Semi-final football World Cup match and sahur, very early breakfast before we (Muslims) fasting from morning twilight (Fajr Prayer) to the evening twilight (Maghreb Prayer) on this holly Ramadhan.
Talking about the World Cup Semi-final match between the host nation, Brazil against Germany this early morning, that was like out of body experienced, unbelievably stunning. Germany play very effective, accurate and flawless especially their middle players, their everywhere, not giving Brazil national team to develop their game. Brazil defenders players hardly even breath to reorganize their defense, goal after goal from Germany players keep coming to Julio Cesar's net, the first half still fifteen minutes away, but Germany already leads with five goals from Muller, Klose (last night he becomes all-time World Cup scoring leader--surpassing Brazil great Ronaldo), Toni Kroos (twice in one minute) and Sami Khedira. That was fantastic and awesome night for Germany but it was humiliating, devastating and the worst loss in the history of Brazil team.
Brazil is not my favorite on this World Cup but when Andre Schurrle was replacing Miroslav Klose, I've got this feeling that he will make goal tonight, and when he did scored the six goals for Germany, I want to screamed, please stop, that's enough but instead I was screamed in delight (sorry Brazil, but Germany is my favorite on this World Cup, old habits is really die hard ^_^). But I can't Imagine if the situation in reversed, I was the one with eyes full of tears and face with undeniable sadness (thank you God, I'm not). It was the night that broke a nation's heart for Brazil. At least after Andre Schurrle made his second goals that night, the goals number seven for Germany, Oscar made a consolation goal for Brazil in the 90 minutes, before the matched end. It's 7-1 for the Germans victory.
When almost everybody thought the match will be tight and neck to neck until the end and the host nation will be hard to beat in front of their thousands of home supporters, Germany proved that they are simply can play it better than Brazil. It doesn't matter that Brazil have five stars above their badge after their fifth World Cup in 2002 and Germany only have three stars above their badge after their third World Cup in 1990, on the stadium last night, they proved it that 5 stars definitely NOT better than 3 stars. Maybe the pressure from the supporters and as the host nation was really to much to handle for Brazil team or maybe the Brazilian players were on psychological meltdown, I don't know, but what I do know that Brazil team was disorganized, they skills looked useless that night and they didn't know how to defend from the Germans player, it just didn't work out for Brazil. So, congratulations Germany, you were fantastic, let's wait your final opponent tonight, who you want it to be? Netherlands or Argentina?.
