The other move where that little Dutch puke took the ball and tried to score instead of giving the ball back to Portugal, as is customary when one team kicks the ball out of bounds if a player on the field is injured, was just terrible
That move has to rank among the top-10 most despicable moments in World Cup history. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that, and neither could the crowd – the booing sounded defeaning even through the telly, can’t even imagine what it must’ve felt like live.
Today wasn’t much of an improvement from the fairplay point of view though. Italians went through by deploying the infamous “dying swan” move that we see all too often.
I pick Ukraine – Italy as the least anticipated quarter final of all time, that will most likely put scores of people into coma by its sheer boredom. I’m shocked if more than one goal is scored in the match. Actually I’m quite shocked if any goals are scored.
