Germany didn't show up. Klose thought he was playing for Bayern again. Spain weren't that much better. Needed a Puyol header from a corner. Lousy semi. Pffft.
I mean, this was a World Cup semi-final, and by minute 35, I was slowly nodding away. Showered, cut my toe-nails, had a pedicure, trimmed the eye-brows, came back, and still looked as plodding as ever.
I feel cheated.
So it's Holland-Spain then. Not too bad actually. Spain don't have it in them to score more than one goal against any team of substance, so that should give us some added confidence. Villa looked effectively dealt with, and really, the dodgy Spanish defence was never really tested.
What more - I suppose nothing would give me better pleasure than seeing Holland give the Spanish team one up the khyber.
Oh yes - final thing. Looks like Cesc is continuing to prove his worth to the Spanish team by spending another 90 minutes on the bench. Well, if he stays with us, at least he'll be fresh in August.
Since I find myself in this unexpectedly vile mood against all things Spanish and by extension Barca, why not more...
Now, we all know that Barca exists in an entirely different (and not very likeable) universe, but it seems now that this universe also involves clubs not paying their players on the one hand, and splashing out the dough on players on the others. I mean, how pathetic is that? This is supposed to be the greatest football club on the face of the planet? One that's forced to take loans to pay their players.
I keep saying it - make them pay even more through their noses for Cesc, and just for the heck of it, I'd love to see a financial meltdown over at the Camp Nou. This is how money works over there, in relation to their buying Cesc:
"We would not pay the 50-60m euros that I have read about. If Arsenal do not go crazy, he might play at Barca."
"There will be 50m euros to sign more players. This is the case every year. This is our plan for the future. Technically, as of now we have 50m euros plus 15 for Chygrynskiy and 24 for Toure. In total, 89m euros."
Of course we're gonna friggin' crazy. Crazy's good. Crazy as in taking loans to pay players and then splashing out 89 million more euros on even more players and higher wages. Sweet.
Bloody OTT psychos.
That's it for tonight. (I'm hearing vuvuzelas, car horns, people screaming...and this in Switzerland. Yay)
