my 1st football match...

it was awesome~!!! watched north korea vs china women's football at the stadium opposite my hostel for free... hehe, 2nd half of 2nd matches are usually free and it's the semifinals, real life is so much fun, there were laods of china supporters and naturally figuring that since i was chinese, i'd rather support china den korea any day.... kay my chian hostel mate even bought a drum and a drum stick just for the occasion, talked bout being 'semangated', sorta of caught on the football fever from vanessa, thought it was a real pest for the past week, since there were matches the whole of last week and also some this week, super noisy, head pounding music blaring and announcements every few minutes... i was at my wits end trying to nap in the afternoons... was sorta getting used to the noise some where in the background of my dreams... good news is... finals are this usnday and it will all be over... and i hope china wins!!!! it's china vs australia so you can just imagine the amount of people that's gonna turn up... it's gonna be so exciting, even my korean landlady watched the past few korean matches....

quite an eventful match.... 3 china players got injured... and man they all had the same reaction, think some muscle cramp and had to be brought off the field by a strectcher, one of them kept on going back on the field and cramping up for like 3 times before she gave up and ended up on a stretcher...one conclusion i made.... the chinese are superbe' headers man.... they can really head the ball, and the only goal they scored was a header, a kick from the side and header into the goal, just beautifoool.... none of the korean players got injured though and they weren't playing particularly rough.... both teams were more or less on par but the china supporter, they were great.... made so much noise, had drums, china flags, painted their faces.... adn they really cheered for their team!!! korea fans were sorta silent..... anyways was happily cheering and clapping for the chinese, vanessa and i were like..... YAY!!!!! when they finally goaled...

that's not the entire highlight of the game.... was already 45 mins and the game was still gonig on... bout 5 or 10 add minutes due to the frequent change of players and injuries wat not... and suddenly outta no where.... korean scored.... and there was a huge uproar... korean fouled!!! think they pushed over the goalie or something like that... so they got a yellow card... what a relief, if not there would be additional time.... *pengsan* the more i watched, the more i stresssed....

anyways, the game sorta ended 2 minutes after korea's goal, and china won!!!! wheeee!!! the korean goalie suddenly pushed the referee and wanted to beat her up, the security guards came running and the korean players chased after her.... the camera men were videoing the whole thing ,bet it would be on news tomorrow, and the china fans started throwing plastic bottles at the korean players... my 1st mob experience as well....

i am looking forward to finals this sunday.... gonna be one exciting match... i hope.... china rocks!!!
