worst and best

i keep seeing games and thinking, boy, this is the worst game yet, but then another game will come along "top" uruguay france.

well, here they are, in list of "descending" order, the worst of the bunch yet.

4. uruguay france - count me as one of the casualties of this match. i passed out in the awful two and a half hour hiatus that is 6-830 pm, and the dreaded dinner time break for your next two weeks. It was a little excessive and overexuberant drinking welcoming the world cup with south africa and mexico and by the time I had recovered it was the 88th minute and I was in my bed with 8 missed calls, and wondering what the hell happened. heard the game was a snoozer though.

3. japan cameroon - well, at least there was a goal in it, but come on, cameroon? seriously? without alex song i have absolutely no interest in this team. japan are intruiging, but not as much as the south koreans. waiting for a honda cracker.

2. portugal ivory coast - the worst thing about this match was that i realized that this is the pitch that the final is going to be on. paulo ferreira was taking chunks out of this turf like charles barkley on the golf course. and most of the time the ball was just scooting away from everyone. i still say the ivory coast is wayyy overrated, and what the hell happened to ricardo quaresma? porto 2008 he was top 5 players in the world for my money.

1. slovenia algeria- more so for the result than anything else, but slovenia aren't exactly pleasing on the eye, oh, but algeria play some nice football don't they? hope we beat both these clowns.

hon mention goes to the slovaks for conceding late and letting the italians and paraguayans breathe easy.

italy paraguay was a cracking game, good atmosphere, two good teams. so was usa england, neither of these really had any good goals to speak of, and I think the best goal is still the first one of the tournament.
