World Cup 2014

It is already 6.14am in the morning, just minutes after World Cup 2014 beautifully ended with Mario's goal. However I still feel a strong urge to write this post.

YAY!!! GERMANY WON!!!!! Really happy when the goal was scored. I could feel a wave of euphoria overwhelming the entire team and horde of supporters when it was announced Germany won the title of World Cup 2014 Champions. Being the first year I am watching World Cup, it was a sense of ecstasy that I have never felt before. Despite Germany not being my home country, I am genuinely happy to see how their sweat and tears have been generously reciprocated with this championship. To see the supporters triumphantly crying over their country's winning is a heartening scene as it goes to show how much pride they take in this sport. Good job Germany. The tactics, the perseverance and never give up attitude despite the overwhelming fatigue is truly applaudable. Y'all deserve the championship:)

On the other hand, sadness looms the Argentina side. It was a super close fight. To be honest, Argentina put up a strong fight against Germany with its tight defence. Argentina players displayed skilful techniques especially in dodging opponents and dribbling of ball. However luck was not on their side. To see the players who have fought so hard for the entire 123 minutes having a look of despair was a painful sight. It was heart-wrenching to see how the masculine looking players broke down upon hearing their team's loss. This goes to show they really care alot for their country and for their team and I am really glad that they feel this strong urge to win for their team, their country, their people. However, they have put in their heart and soul into the match and I have to say their skills are top-notch. This by itself is already worth more than a title. Good job Argentina:) 

And so, this marks the end of FIFA World Cup 2014, with me jubilant over Germany's championship but at the same time heart-wrenching for Argentina. It was an exciting match that was well-played by both teams:) At 6.28am, I'm finally done writing this post and time to sleep. 

Good night world and good morning world:)
