Its been ages since i updated my blog..thing is, that i blog from univ and since i have been on a long end sem break, i just dont go to univ any more...thereby allowing cobwebs to gather on the blog..watched the germany- argentina match yesterday..what a match!! anyone who missed it, really lost out on sommething..i wanted germany to win..and they really managed to buck up in the second half and put up an attacking front..ballack (he's sooo wow!) really is the backbone of the team and stands out ..klose ofcourse is also very good..i like the way he gets really pumped up when he scores..all that jumping and gesticulating and screaming..great to see so much enthu..football in this sense is so different from cricket..for one it goes on and on..watching single match takes all day long and even then more often than not india loses..its so ..placid..football's fast and racy and short..and much easier on the eyes..(think of ballack) . one good thing about the world cup has been the fact that they show some really good ads..i just love the adidas one with the tagline 'impossible is nothing'..it shows two ten year old kids summoning some of the best footballers in the world and forming their respective teams in a poor favela of south america..you see lampard, beckham,ballack,zidane et all materialising from nowhere..even a young beckenbeaur turns up..they play and lampard shoots..the ball hits the bar and the goalie..i think its oliver kahn catches it..the players start arguing whether it was a goal or not..just then a woman appears at one of the balconies overlooking the lane and shouts something in spanish to one of the two kids..he goes rsup to kahn,snatches the ball out of his hands and walks away..the players leave with a groan..the then you have the tagline..'impossible is nothing'...it really is one of the best ads i've ever seen on tv..
