I was walking through Wall St. this morning and couldn’t help but notice that they had replaced some of the american flags with the flags of the FIFA World Cup finalist.
Good to know the NY Stock Exchange is not only about money and profits. The Dow Jones index has been going up for three straight days, let’s see how it opens up on Monday after a new World Cup champion.
And yes. Maradona is gone. After losing to Germany four to zero he and the Argentinians have to hit the road and go back home.
I personally enjoyed each and every single one of Germany goals. Each of the them was like a slap in Maradonas face. Maradona was not able to move the bench properly, his team was a broken one, there was no midfield. Muller got to laugh on the first goal after Maradona refused to share the stage with him in a friendly match in Germany. On the third goal Schweinsteiger took the ball to the kitchen and then passed it for Friedrich to score. Take into account that the argentinian defense was formed by Higuian, Pastore and DiMaria. This goal was scored by the german central defender. This shows Maradona was a good player, but is not a coach and he certainly has a big mouth. He had no capacity to make the proper changes during the match.
Here is a small video of the match. It’s in spanish, but goals are a universal language.
By the way, happy Fourth!
Yes, we have another World Cup going on. I think asides from Germany playing Australia there has been no interesting match so far. It is true that this just got started and Brazil and Spain haven’t played yet. But I was expecting something more. We will see how this goes on.
People are really living this World Cup in NYC. I was at Nevada Smith this Sunday watching Germany and I must admit the ambiance was spectacular. People from a bunch of different origins watching the game. “Ghana is going to beat Germany” said one girl, not quite I think. Pictured below is a picture from Nevada Smith on Sunday right after the game ended.
There is this annoying noise from the bubuzelas. You are watching the game and there is this permanent noise coming from this things, you can’t listen to people singing anymore.
We celebrate today the tenth aniversary of Deportivo Liga championship. It’s been ten years but I can still remember that night in Corunha and the Cuatro Caminos fountain. Around 200000 persons celabrating. It was revenge after Djukic missed penalty in the last minute six years before.
Now we live in a completely different reality. We have a huge debt and we no longer have world class players in our team. Anyway I celebrate Depor past victories and toast to the future ones that will surely come. Forza Depor, oe!
