Germany vs Portugal!
A well deserved win for Germany. The two canon shots from Schweinsteiger were outstanding, a pleasure to watch. And what a comeback for Kahn , captaining the side.
One has to question the way the Portugese play , who picked up 24 yellow cards to set a all time world cup record.
Funny observation: During the match the camera zoomed in on Michael Schumaker &
Commentator I: (after a long pause trying to fig out who he is) There is the German manager, obviously his next task is to convince Klinsman to stay upto Euro '08.
.......camera rolls on............after a short pause
Commentator I: My apologies as that was Formula one race driver Michael schumaker.
Commentator II: I dont know if its some race driver but he is certainly not the German manager.
So apathetic is the situation of American sports commentators of not being able to recognise champions from other sports. But isn't that the story of entire US - not knowing the affairs beyond their shell.

Agreed, the commentators should have been more worldly. But how you managed to pin that to the entire country because of one commentator is simply childish.
ReplyDeleteAre you becoming a US basher too?
By the way congrats on Italy. For me it was a ok game with zidane capturing the news for all the wrong reasons
Hey dushy, not a US basher dude, just something my xp here, now soccer WC is huge but here they hardly care, the newspaper carries one page of news somewhere but college basket ball and baseball is the headlines in the sports section, ppl dint even knew US was ousted, and what abt their image and Gk abt other countries its too poor man, they still believe there are elephants and snake charmers on every street in india.
