Soooo.... This is a little late in coming but I am just now getting to it so forgive me (IF anyone even cares about this other than me....haha)
The Europa Cup final was last Sunday and Spain came out victorious.
The match was between Spain and Italy and it was slated to be a phenomenal match. Everyone was anticipating a knock-down, drag-out kind of heated competition.
It......was.....sooooooooooooooooooo....boring. Boring....boring...BOOOOORING.
Italy did next to NOTHING in this game! Spain has always been my favorite. I can't help it. Its in my family and in my blood. Still, in previous matches, Italy played such impressive soccer (futbol!) that I was swayed. I kind of wanted the underdog to win it. I mean, the passing and the tightness of their game was just so much fun to watch. The guys have skills.....or they did....and lost them somewhere between their match with Germany and their match with Spain. Anyway, next to the Spaniards, they really looked like heavy-footed, bumbling lost children out there. There were times when they barely moved. You would look up at the screen and.....a flood of red had covered the field. NOT Italy, in other words.
Spain won. Spain shot Italy down with very little trouble at all which isn't -terrible-, since I really do like Spain and think they are a tremendous team but....It makes for a TERRIBLE game to watch because there is no competition. It's basically 90 minutes of watching a team lose. YAWN.
I'm hoping, then, that the Olympics will show much better competitions than this. ^_^ I've been left wanting! Soooo once again, I'm just going to raise a cheer for the upcoming olympics at the end of this month!
WOOHOO!!! LET'S GO OLYMPIC TEAM!!!! Lets KICK SOME!
