trying to watch this!!

i'm trying to make an effort to watch this taiwanese drama... "蜂蜜幸运草" ("honey and clover" in english).. there're quite a few taiwan idol drama that i wanted to watch, but either no time, or don't have the URGE to watch them. hahaha.. like 命中注定我爱你，翻滚吧-蛋炒饭，many others i forgot the titles already... the only one taiwan drama that i sincerely and diligently watched recently was "斗牛-要不要" because got Hebe!! haha.. now that all my ang moh series have ended their run (CSI, smallville, ghost whisperer - just to nane a few) and while waiting for new seasons to arrive, i shall just watch these taiwan ou xiang drama... hahaha...

WOW!!! holland won france 4-1!!!!

4-1

.

thats the scoreline that Holland beat France by. i'm really surprised how well the dutch team are performing!!!! a few days ago, i posted that although i support holland and hope they win, chances are really slim cos under marco van basten, they are really floaty and shaky as a team. even my cousin (he resides in holland) said we no hope, because we're in the group of death, with 3 other strong teams. and also because holland has always been underachievers... BUT HOW HOLLAND surprised us!!!

.

first we won 3-0 over italy (i'm still shocked by the performance, because the italians are reigning world cup champions!) we lost to them in the euro 2000 semi finals penalty shootout. so its revenge!!! hahaha

.

next we won 4-1 over france. WOO HOO! france were world cup runners up and champions of euro 2000. and we beat them, 4-1... !!! amazing stuff from holland, all the 4 goals were beautiful, and the build up and movements were breath-taking..

.

so i'm dedicating my post here, to the orange Dutch team....

.

GO ORANJE!!

"Superb Dutch floor Italians"

"Netherlands outplayed world champions Italy and romped to a 3-0 win in the first clash of the heavyweights at Euro 2008. A controversial goal from Ruud Van Nistelrooy, a superbly executed volley by birthday boy Wesley Sneijder and a third goal by Giovanni van Bronckhorst late in the game sealed a comfortable victory."

Gio van Bronckhorst celebrates his goal against Italy

that was the report on soccernet. WOO HOO! i watched the game last night, and i couldn't believe my holland can actually win the latest world cup champions italy. and its an impressive scoreline too! hahaha.. so happy with the Dutch team's performances, their counter attacks were brilliant, and dirk kuyt was fantastic, providing 2 good assists, he usually wasn't so good at liverpool. haha.

goals from van nistelrooy, sneijder and van bronckhorst. all nice goals! especially the 2nd, wah, how he hit the ball on the volley like that, and managed to beat buffon! buffon is the best goalkeeper in the world, and the dutch team managed to put 3 balls past him! miracle man. really cannot believe it! haha..

so now its, go ESPANA! and GO NEDERLAND!

EURO 2008 Austria-Switzerland

its finally here!!!!!

hahaha... i'm now watching the match between turkey and portugal, its a good game so far, MUCH better than the opening match between switzerland and czech just now, that game was boring. this one is better, high tempo, good counter attacks. and most important, both teams attack like mad. exciting to watch! haha.

i'm gonna support SPAIN to win the tournament. yeah, i've always supported Holland, but they are in the group of death, along with france italy and romania. holland have great players past and present but they just don't play well when together, and van basten (they say) is not a good coach, so very slim chance of them winning. even my cousin say they no hope. haha.

anyway, back to spain, i hope they play well and win! they had been so underachieving in the past, the spanish la liga is one of the best leagues in the world (re: barcelona, real madrid) so spain have plenty of great players in the national pool, but they just lack something.. i hope they win this time, and the man to help spain will be fernando torres!!! i believe he'll be top scorer. haha
