And the fever continues...

I dunno what to do rite now. Should i go to take a short nap before waking up for the 3am match between Brazil and France, or should i just stay awake? If i sleep now, im scare i cant wake up by then.. O_o

I was outside meeting up with my frens at Old Town Kopitiam in Pandan Indah just now. Finding a parking at that area was almost impossible. It was already difficult getting one last time, so u can imagine how worse it can be during this World Cup season. There were lots of people at any restaurants, cafes, mamak stall or pubs, as long as there's TV with the Sports Channel on. It was so crowded until the extend that some even had to stand by the roadside just to catch a glimpse of the match. Not a surprise for me, though.

Normally, whoever supports Manchester United will also supports England. They just come in pairs, i wonder why. I saw this young couple wearing England's jersey, walking hand on hand towards one of the cafes, looking proud. They better not bump into any of the Portugal's supporter... -_-

As of now, the score is still 0-0, but Rooney was given a red card thus England is down with 10 men against 11 men Portugal. The pressure is definitely getting on their nerves now. By the look of it, there might be a penalty session later.

p/s: watching online thru TVUPlayer is a misery. Luckily the 3am match later is shown live on local tv station. Thank god!

And Portugal won in the penalty kicks by 3-1. England was devastated. My guess was right. So we shall see who Portugal will be playing against next. Brazil or France? Im betting on Brazillians...
