Superior Spain , Brave Croatia

Spain have shown the world that they are the current European cup and World cup holder by trashing the Republic of Ireland 4 goals to nil. Torres scored twice ,Silva and Febregas both scored one goal each. Personally , i think, Ireland were very brave to have played the game by using their own style. They were plucky to hasten Spanish centrebacks, Ramos and Pique for the first 4 minutes of the game. Torres scored first by dribbling past two Irish defenders and then unleashed a very powerful shot to beat Shay Given.

Then, Silva added the second goal .He produced a sublime skill to send a couple of Irish defenders and passed the ball to the back of the neat through the legs of Richard Dunne. 

  Fabregas scored his second goals of the tournament with a fierce shot on goal after a clever short corner kick which was been taken by Xavi found the goalscorer.

      Silva produces another wonderful performance 

Spain dominated team game and the Republic of Ireland players were chasing their own shadows. Spain have proved to the world that they are here to win the tournament and to be the best team in the world.

Italy failed to secure 3 points

Italy failed to beat Croatia after Mandzukic scored a late equalizer. Italy were infront through Pirlo 's pinpoint  accuracy freekick. Pirlo was the man of the match in my opinion. He dictated the match and pulled the strings in the middle of the park for the Italians. Italy will need to beat Ireland if they are to qualify. Croatia meanwhile have to beat Spain who beat the Ireland 4 -0 . Italy did not really perform up to their standard i think as they did not take full advantage when they had a clear chance on goal. 

Pirlo is the man for Italy 

The DUTCH still in the mix to qualify , Valera saved Ronaldo's blush

Believe it or not, Holland have an outside chance to qualify for the next round, BUT, they may need a huge favour from Germany to trash Denmark and themselves to trash Portugal. Lets face it, Holland not gonna watch Denmark being trashed and they cannot beat Portugal later simply owing to Holland inability to get goals from the likes of Hunterlaar, Sneidjer,Robben and the 28 year old Arsenal star RVP is looking to be short of confident in front of goal even though he did score against the well organised German team. Holland looked to be disjointed because of the formation. Hunterlaar should have gone starting the game early on because it was a must win game against the Germans. However, he started from the bench after they conceded 2 goals from the super hot striker, Mario Gomez.Van Persie did reduce the deficit but it wasn't enough to save his team.

Valera,27, saved Ronaldo from being the convict of not scoring 2 clear chances on goal. Ronaldo's misses proved to be decisive because afterwards, Bendtner scored the equalizer. Everybody seemed to point the finger to the Real Madrid man before Valera unleashed a pile driver to secure Portugal the vital 3 points in their quest to get themselves out of the group of death. Early on the match , Portugal managed to score twice from the header of Pepe and a neat finish from Postiga. Bendtner scored twice after that before Valera scored the winning goal.

Ronaldo misses one of the chances 

Malaysia will never go to the world cup

assalamualaikum. hi there, this term, i would love to discuss Malaysia will never ever go to the world cup and the National Team are moving backwards. Why is it Malaysia always struggle to compete with other countries in South East Asia? why is it the current Fifa ranking shows that the ranking of Palestin is much more higher than us? why? .

As you all know Malaysia is one of the most developed countries in Asian and even the world . The facilities that have been provided by the government to the players who represent the country are enough compare to Palestin who are currently in a lot of crisis.Why is it , Malaysian cannot perform at the highest possible level ?  Malaysia are a wonderful country which do not crisis such war. i wonder why Malaysia cannot produce exceptional talents who can compete with players from other big footballing nations. Why? As a Malaysian, i  am just wondering , why is this happened? 

We are tired seeing Malaysia being trashed by the likes of Australia and Oman. We want to see changes. AFF suzuki cup meant nothing. i thought the winning of the cup was a cornerstone for our country but my thought was/is absolutely wrong. Another question to be asked to the players who represent the country, is it a must to colour your hair ? i saw some of the players coloured their hair,are they muslims? Malaysia is an Islamic country. i think the players need to cover their aurah . These questions are asked from me and also the fans to make the players and the organisation THINK !!!!

England ,the defensive warrior

last night, we saw a very defensive minded England formation against Les Blues,the French side. England defensive shape was exactly the same as Chelsea who won the European Cup a fortnight ago. England sat deep and defended their goal while France passed the ball around the English team. France could not penetrate the defensive wall of England until Lescott gave England the lead.A dubious freekick was given to England and the Three Lions skipper, Steven Gerrard let the ball flew and met the head of the Manchester City defender to head the ball passed Hugo Lloris. Nine minutes later, England who had 8 players in the penalty box were shocked after Lescott's club mate Nasri scored the equalizer. After the goals, the game turned up to be a boring game as both side were afraid of losing and did not want to over commit to score the winning goal. The second game of group D saw Ukraine won the game by scoring 2 goals and let one in. Their skipper and also talisman scored both goals . Shevchenko ,35,lead by example by leading his team by beating one of the thoughest opponents in this group.

the new era

assalamualaikum, hi there( if there are people who read this) , i m a new blogger, and certainly do not have anything to write . Errmm, i just hope by using this blog, it will enable me to write anything bout football, because i just love watching professional football teams play and love to analyse the tactics that they use. My favourite football team on the planet is absolutely Manchester United because i think they have been great for the past 20 years.Their philosophy to nurture young players has caught my eyes to follow the development.In contrast,   i rarely watch Malaysia   Super league because the players cannot even master basic skills such passing and controlling the ball . No offence to the Malaysian league as the Fifa ranking speaks itself . I think ,by analysing the way the other big footballing nations develop their players to be world class players, it is the best thing as i can take note to be used as i would love to give back my knowledge to the community and help my nation to be one of the biggest footballing nations one day .
