If you're thinking the same question, then relax, you're not the only one out there. This year's FIFA World Cup has left half the world pondering on the same question. Just, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG?
It all started on the first day itself with a highly talented French side were held to a 0-0 draw by Uruguay and then it kept following!! The USA got a point from England, potential favorites this year, and Serbia succumbed to Ghana in the next two days. Germany pocketed a brilliant 4-0 victory against Australia before eventually losing to Serbia 1-0 !! (Courtesy the referee who just loves booking people.)
The defending champions trailed their opener against Paraguay before a lucky break helped them manage at least a point. Japan overcame Cameroon and New Zealand managed a 93rd minute equalizer to grab a point. The runners up at 2006, France are virtually out after the El Tri quite literally, thrashed them.
North Korea seemed likely to have upset Brazil, except for Maicon's stunner (read: Bullet shot which defies Einstein's theory of relativity and Euclidean geometry because the "angle" was just too tight !! :P ) and controversy laden Argentina smashing 4 against a helpless South Korean side.
Switzerland stunned Spain in the biggest shock of the tournament till now. Spain, with a dream team of their own probably had possession for 89 minutes and STILL managed to lose. Kudos!!
England lived up to all expectations of under performance with another stupendous performance against the Algerians and Netherlands look more lustrous than they actually were against the Danes. (Please take a moment to pay your respects to Niklas Bendtner who has claimed that he will be the highest goal scorer this time around. Yes, I mentioned that before but it was worth mentioning again. Readers, you may laugh at this.)
The tournament might still be at its nascent stages but huge matches have already been played. By the looks of it, don't be surprised if Honduras lifts the trophy (who, were rather impressive against Chile on the counter) and Niklas Bendtner actually scores a dozen !! :O (Gross)
