7 Yeat Old Dog Seizures

Post light on African world

In this period of tired of the blog, I look a bit 'more calm to tell something that I did travel to the Holy Land in early July. Meanwhile, break the ice with a lighter theme and now "retro" I try to take stock of the first World Cup played in Africa, I believe the original for a number of reasons I will now explain. The World "African" was seen leaving the group stage all teams of the "dark continent" except for Ghana. It must be said that South Africa and Ivory Coast have missed out on qualification. Complicit sympathy for the teams of the continent, I asked my supporters passionately to Ghana after the painful elimination of Italy, and after the defeat of Juventus, the Azzurri and the Black Stars start to think that might be useful to cheer for teams that want to see it go ... The trend of global was also abnormal in the balance between the two continents tradional stronger, Europe and South America. After the group stage, the press announced the demise of European football eliminated Italy and France - finalists in 2006 - Denmark, Greece, Serbia, Swiss, Slovenia. 6 teams were still in the running of the old continent, less than half of the 13 national participants. The en plein 5 teams of South America, all qualified to the knockout stages, announced a worldwide "Latin", with Brazil and Argentina, which seemed to have a little something extra. But the two battleships were released in the quarter (the first to carelessness, the second wiped out by Germany). So, surprisingly, in the semifinals is the only Latin American representative of Uruguay, and finalists are two who have never won the European title. The victory goes to Spain, his first final, which collects a "double" Euro-World Cup. As already noted by others, all the stars expected and celebrated by Ni * spot and did not shine (to put it mildly): Cannavaro was no longer the Berlin Wall, but the beautiful statue, Drogba broke the arm ( and the Ivory Coast did not qualify), Ribery and Henry have not prevented France to come fourth in the group with one point, Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo has come out in the second round (and "CR9" left the field checking on the camera), Rooney has been questioned by his countrymen well before the 4-1 inflicted by the Germans to the British. Never before in this edition of the controversy have hit on the official match ball, many commentators believe that Jabulani, particularly light and the anomalous trajectories, has been the cause of many mistakes in the passages, with their shots, and saves (but many of the ducks porters were "natural"). The smash Vuvuzela turned a plastic object in a cultural phenomenon: a simple trumpet has sparked controversy because of the high volume and noise nuisance, although many speculate that the sound is transmitted from the speaker, as not seen on TV so many people committed to sound continuously, as it is a less simple than it seems. I tried the legendary Vuvuzela and it seems very unlikely that there were so many to play to produce a very loud sound, uniform and continuous throughout the game.
However, during the World Cup appeared also software to filter the frequency of vuvuzela and provide an audio commentary with less disturbed. not recall a previous gadget tied to a single sporting event that has done so much "noise" ... There is already talk of scores "monotonous" for vuvuzela. But nothing to do with music. Waka Waka!
