The W - Football - Senegal?!
Can you believe that Senegal is through to the round of eight? I'm so proud of my heritage right now. Opinions on the match?
THey played damn well, and deserved to go through. And they'll probably make it through to the semis too, looking at the other half of the bracket. Unlike us, who are most likely gonna get Brazil, unless Belgium have a miracle up their asses. Oh well, my mother land (England, of course) haven't disgraced themselves in the tourney, and we've played damn well. And who knows? Maybe we can get past the Brazilians on Friday.
Dear God! He's Back To Kill Us All!
They looked nervous and shaky early on and gave up the early goal ... I thought they were done for right then. But they showed great heart in dragging themselves back in the game and winning it. A very very good performance by both Senegal and Sweden I must say.
And that striker of theirs ... El Hadji Diouf. The man is an inspiration in attack. There were a few runs there where the Swedish defenders had to pick up their boots and socks off the ground after he twisted them up into pretzels. If he can only get over that habit of his of flinging himself onto the pitch to draw fouls in the box, he could be one of the best in the world. As it is, his performances in Senegal's last four games are going to make him a very wealthy man next season, when Juventus or Valencia come a callin'.
Senegal vs. Japan or Turkey (probably Japan) -- I like their chances of making the final four. And in one-game knockouts, they may actually make it to the Big Dance. Though I wouldn't bet actual cash on it.
This is one of those years where you don't need a plus-one national title game. Notre Dame was the only (eligible) unbeaten who played a legit schedule? Give them the championship.
