Those 90 Minutes...

Don't blame me if I was absent from my blog for a long time...
FIFA was really so absorbing and wonderful that it overthrew all my schedules and timings... In one way this last month was the best I had in a while....WOW with some numerous exclamation marks would suffice the feeling I was going through.

It was exciting, entertaining and actually don't have words in my vocabulary to express how good it was. As if 3 days hangover after the final is not enough I am still updating myself with fifa site daily.. Just wondering did they have any plans to conduct another world cup before 2014.

I am missing those excitements and especially those matches in which Spain played. They always won the match with a score line of 1-0 so couldn't miss that one moment of magic.. So always I was on the edge of my bed.. When Puyol scored that header against Germany, I almost fell down... What a touch that was..

The country that lost the very first game became the one which lifted the World Cup..What a turnout of events it has been. A country which routed England and Argentina with almost 4 goals margin in each game ended up losing by just one goal.But by far the best match of this world cup was between Germany and Spain.

And about the final it was more of a kick boxing or Kung Fu fight. But I admire Spain for keeping their cool and carrying on with the game with the absolute sportsman ever spirit even when Xabi Alonso was kicked in the chest and no wonder their patience finally paid off in 116 th minute of the game by a brilliant goal from Andreas Iniesta.

I can't believe it's over.. the football fever that has gripped most of us. Actually I didn't wanted too..So when I find cricket taking the sports page's main columns,I am getting myself in to the reality that 2010 FIFA WC is over. Now its time for less exciting but still absorbing game of Cricket to take the centre stage of our daily sports feed.

But still, I miss those those 7.30 PM and 12.00 AM appointments with one of the most important events in the world sports...

Even I can't believe it.. I wish there was a world cup every year :(... And yeah I can never forget Puyol's goal.... I banged my head against the wall when that goal was scored.. Even though the Dutch were my second favoutites, I dint like their game in finals.... While the Spaniards were playing soccer, they played rugby... That kick on the chest..huh!!! is still playing over and over again in my head :( And after watching such rough play I wanted Spain to win... which the eventually did... Hats off to the Spanish...

Ya Hats off to Spain...I think for the first time ever each and every player of a team contributed equally to the win...

Whatever I cud end up mustering about the way Spain played it will still come short of the actual feeling while watching them play. No wonder they turned out to be the best team to watch out for.

World Cup every year will cease the excitement as yearly T20 world cup has proved that.......
