13/6/2006 - World Cup 2006 Group C: Australia 3 Japan 1
What a match. the match of the tournament so far. It did help i had a wager with Maw Chearng on this one, upping the tension of the game. Japan found themselves 1-0 ahead through a fluke strike, after australia so dominated the match. Halftime, its 0-1. 75 minutes gone, Australia pressed and huffed. I was set to lose 20 to Maw and 15 to Terri. Yeah betting day today.then, enter Cahill, enter Aloisi, why didnt they play? i was relying on the four Viduka,Kewell,Aloisi and Cahill, and yeah it paid off, and how!! Cahill scored a brace, and Aloisi scored by the 92nd minute to stun Japan 3-1. Brilliant, i had a feeling they would, and they did. and Maw owed me 26 and Terri 15. LOL. i went to Terri's house and won money from her. i and Xiao ting supporting australia while terri and perry was supporting japan.haha, to quote Perry, Australia cant play soccer!! hehe..so overall 41 bucks from this match.
Next match was great as well, Czech were just too good for USA and won 3-0. and it was an understatement, they gave USA a footballing lesson, total lesson. Rosicky, the new Gunner, was simply awesome, grabbing a brace after Koller scored after 5 min. It was a straightforward match. It was refreshing to watch, the team of the tournament so far. so i earned about 32.5 bucks from this match from singapore pools maw help me haha.
then it was italy v ghana, and i topped it off with a perfect betting day. 2-0 to italy, 5 from terri, 5 from xiao ting, who bet draws. so 10 bucks from here. and 83.5 bucks earned today haha. Ghana were good as well, having chances that were pretty good but badly taken. Lol.and a brilliant goal from Andrea Pirlo halftime 1-0. then second half italy was too good. and ghana was playing dirty, or starting to, and they dived and tried to get italians injured, kuffour in that instance. He should have ben sent off alas for the flag. But he got what he deserved, making a absolute blunder for the guy he injured. Brilliant match. Man of the Matches in my opinion is Tim Cahill, Tomas Rosicky and Luca Toni. Brilliant!!
The day started by waking up late and stumbling to Bishan Junction 8 at 1537, which i am not familiar. First time? not sure...size? small. and it was far from kallang, 2 stops furthur than Toa Payoh. Then never study concentrate on betting with terri lol. amanda and marian left with tiffany after their pw meeting and terri and i waited for Xiaoting then we went terri house watch australia match haha, hyped by me betting with terri. her house nice sia, bukit timah, 3 stories. lol. then pery came. then xiao tine help me get to macritchie having foolishly followed perry and xiao ting in the cab to somewhere i couldnt go, and guided me to the flower place near macritchie, where dad fectched me, Thanks mate=) got to go, 0506 now, fencing at 0900. im crazy but what u know.
