england is out
great game by germany. the 4-1 win is a clear indication who's the better team.
hmmm. actually it should be 4-2.
after this world cup, the clamor for instant replay will only grow louder.
the offside by tevez and lampard's goal should have been called. the string of missed calls is an embarrassment to fifa. something has to be done.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
we had a great time at harem's jazz. england supporters outnumbered the germans four is to one. this only means that many of us went home brokenhearted.
congrats to the german team. they are worthy to be called the new golden generation. the team of the future turns out to be the team of the moment.

world cup 2010 notes - 2nd week
- defoe's goal saved england from being eliminated. england is slowly starting to show what made them a formidable team in the qualifiers. rooney is still goal less. but i think it's just a matter of time.
- the usa team is very lucky. tsamba. they will soon run out of magical moments. you can't win the world cup on luck alone.
- brazil vs portugal turned out to be a bore. i expected it though when i found out that kaka and robinho won't be playing.
- spain is back on track! the 2 - 1 win over chile catapulted spain into the #1 spot which means they will avoid brazil (thank god) in the round of 16. yey!
- barcino and nuvo at gb2 are also showing the world cup games. (expensive night for me!!! watched the brazil vs portugal game at barcino then moved to nuvo for the next two matches) the more choices we have, the better. looks like we filipinos are starting to appreciate the beautiful game.

song of the week - runaway
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjskJAKeJdM&feature=channel
Runaway
The National
There's no saving anything
Now we're swallowing the shine of the sun
There's no saving anything
How we swallow the sun
But I won't be no runaway
'Cause I won't run
No, I won't be no runaway
What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood?
We've got another thing coming undone
And it's taking us over
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead, throw your arms in the air tonight
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead, lose our shirts in the fire tonight
What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood?
We got another thing coming undone
But I won't be no runaway
'Cause I won't run
No, I won't be no runaway
'Cause I won't run
No, I won't be no runaway
What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood?
We've got another thing coming undone
And it's taking us over
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead, throw your arms in the air tonight
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead, lose our shirts in the fire tonight
But what makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood?
We got another thing coming undone
We got another thing coming undone
And it's taking forever
I'll go braving everything
With you swallowing the shine of the sun
I'll go braving everything
Through the shine of the sun
But I won't be no runaway
'Cause I won't run
No, I won't be no runaway
'Cause I won't run
No, I won't be no runaway
What makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood?
We've got another thing coming undone
And it's taking us over
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead, throw your arms in the air tonight
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead, lose our shirts in the fire tonight
But what makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood?
We got another thing coming undone
We got another thing coming undone
And it's taking forever
-------------------------------------------------------------
addicted to the song. what a voice. beautiful lyrics. i hope i can find the band's cds at music1 or tower records.

england wins
england finally comes up with a much-needed victory !!! good job. but they need to level up their game on sunday against the very disciplined german team. rooney, wake up!!! england needs you badly.
the world cup is bad for my liver. hmmm. i wonder if liveraide actually works.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if you're staying or working in the ortigas area, i suggest you watch the games at harem's jazz. it's at the home depot centre, julia vargas st., just infront of buffalo wings n' things. no posers. fun crowd.

adobo and football
quick notes on last night's football escapade
- portugal's massacre of north korea was painful to watch. o well. i'm still impressed with the koreans. for a team with little international exposure and with only three players on the squad play professionally outside of north korea (two in japan and one in russia), they surprised everyone when they qualified for the world cup. and with brazil, portugal, and ivory coast in their group, no one really expects them to salvage a win (or even a goal). but i like seeing them play. you see a lot of heart that's lacking in a quite number of more talent laden teams.
- the attack-minded chileans proved to be the better team with a late goal against the 10-man swiss army. chile now leads the group with 6 points. the game against spain this friday is crucial. the match will determine if spain gets to move to the next round.
- spain finally found their form. villa's double was good enough. i agree with some analysts though that spain sometimes passes too much, even when a shooting oppurtunity is at hand. they could have doubled the goals.
- i discovered that the pinoy adobo at fridays is really good. try it and let me know if you agree.
- the world cup is slowly burning a hole in my wallet. it has taken over my life as i know it. haha.

world cup 2010 notes - first week
- 1st week of world cup is full of upsets. we saw england, spain, france, and even germany fall. the ball is round indeed.
- argentina is the new brazil. messi is playing beautiful football. whenever we has the ball, there's a sense of anticipation as to what he will do. he can pass, shoot, or speed up. he is the best player in the world right now and he's only 23. he could be the best player ever. he has this world cup as his stage (and i'm guessing two more).
- north korea is fun to watch. i'm definitely gonna watch portugal vs north korea match tomorrow night. i have reservations at friday boni high street already. text me.
- some people are already speculating that it will be a brazil-netherlands finals. hmmm. i dont want that to happen. i like spain to be there. the barca boys should step up and get the job done.
- if ur planning to watch a game at nsg, be there at least an one hour before. the place can get really crowded. we were there for the argentia-south korea match last thursday. we got really good seats coz i was there by 6pm. the early bird catches the worm!!!
- if you're in the libis area, try watching the game at gweilos eastwood. they show the 230am games. we were there for the england-algeria match last saturday. good crowd.
- 31 days of sleepless nights. red bull is my new best friend.

rico on cnn
rico on CNN: http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/06/04/eco.whale.shark/index.html?hpt=C2
“We had a professional underwater cameraman, Rico, added on to our crew for the day. I envied his lung capacity, his ability to free dive for minutes alongside these majestic creatures, filming them from all angles while I gasped for air and struggled to keep up.”
rico is the man!!! haha.
thanks ram for the link.
