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!

Hoyle Board Games2005

Force Ghana


No time to talk about the world as the beginning of these pages telematics, and Italy is already deleted. Accomplices also the rhythms of the blog, lately very relaxed, but especially a team unwatchable. I admit that as a fan, after three disappointing games I would have given an undeserved extension if one of the many "almost goals" in the last 10 minutes had been validated.

Pitiful still in the elimination round abbordabilissimo, behind the recent New Zealand (good amateurs in my imagination) and newcomer Slovakia, a good lesson for our viziatelli cocky. The last problem in this country in economic crisis, cultural, institutional, and I will stop here.

The TG1 of 20 is now constantly clipped in half to "the game of the World", in reality the link to pre-game and on the spot, even if the race is not important. Ditto the Sunday lunchtime when there is the Grand Prix. Fortunately at the expense mainly of the B-side news, which is the second quarter of an hour when we are up to date with puppies, the services "costume" tricks to new products, statements of VIP on issues that concern them. Topics that were once almost exclusively by the rotogravure and until a few years ago most of the titles "fru fru" as Tg2 and Open Studio.

If one wants to see 20
to the TG, unfortunately, has to choose between Minzolini, TG5, and Tg of La7, I tried a couple of times, but I expected more "alternative" (ie give the right space for important news ...).

Returning to fool the world football Italy: it has become even the only reason that the "minister" Brancher can give to the controversies that have invested: "Italy lost the World Cup and gets angry with me." Even the League were offended, even the basis of pidiellini complained of appointment as a minister (for a smoky
new ministry without portfolio) with the only apparent purpose of enabling it to apply for such failure and delay the trial for embezzlement and receiving stolen property. The newspaper did not even Brancher comfort. Yes, that's the newspaper of the Berlusconi family. "

The country has reached such levels that it is sometimes a difficult choice s Erena between laughing and crying. Even in the presence of comic-opera characters who say "go and see The opposition delegation, those which are written in the Official Gazette." Twist: "I see you have not yet been published, are peaceful."

Returning to the World Cup, and a pretext leitmotif of this "summer Postman" has been one team in Africa, Ghana. "This time for Africa," says the guru
Shakira summer. And the African team are friendly, often more spectacular than ours, represent a world that deserves redemption. And then under Ghana!
