Yet another negative comment

I just bought my copy The Newpaper an hour ago, read the football news first as usual.
Well, for the first time, I saw positive comments on Italy from writers other than Gary Lim and Tohari Paijan.
2 of them were the only ones who looked at the game from a different view from other editors of the paper.

What really pissed me off, and in the meantime amused me were the comments of ignorant fools who are saying things like a sore loser.
Namely, The Newpaper's Soccer babe Tracy Su. Who is actually a Germany supporter.

"I disliked the Italians. They are team of divers and actors. They're always grabbing their faces when they get hit even if they're hit on the chest! And when they get knocked on one leg, they'll hold both and roll on the ground three times."

Well, Miss Tracy, you can say whatever fuck shit you want on the newspapers about Italy cause I believe all the italian fans who've read your comments are surely laughing their arses off.
Your comments simply reflect your ignorance of the game. And not actually watching the game properly.
Maybe you were too tired or what.
Maybe you had stamps sticked on your eyes for most of match.

Read this if you didn't watch the match properly. Its from Soccernet.com.

"Players from both teams dived and over-reacted to the slightest bit of contact.

Michael Ballack often seemed happy to tap the ball to one side and fall over the nearest opponent.

It would be nice if he could copy his national team manager Klinsmann and drop the diving habit when he moves to England.

Italy kicked the ball out for an injured player and Germany refused to give it back. Twice Italian players refused to shake German hands."

We are divers? Well so is your beloved Germany. :)
And how dirty a player is Miroslav Klose who elbowed Argentinian goalkeeper Roberto Abbondanzieri so hard that he had to sit out the rest of the game.

Well Miss "Soccer Babe" and all those singaporeans, if your idea of a winner is a team who doesn't return the ball to the other team who put the ball out for treatment of an injured player. Kudos to all of you.

Don't come arguing about us not shaking your hands. I don't think you deserve it.

All I can say, it was a very tight contest between the 2 teams. Germany did well, really. Credits to them. But the better team went through.

At the end of the day, your comments on the Germany v Italy match has spoilt your image as the "Soccer Babe" who is suppose to know the game. Or was there a image to begin with?

That is, if you're reading this blog of mine.
