Japan is the winner!

Congrats to the Japanese football team, they really deserved the trophy for the great games through the whole tournament and of course to bring back some hope to Japan after the tragic happenings there....

Was a great World Cup, I really enjoyed it to the fullest :)

Women and Football

Hei out there!

Haven't posted for a while^^
What have I done in the last few weeks? Well finally my holidays started just a few days before. Epic! :D
Furthermore I've been watching the Woman's World Cup here in Germany. And I have to say it's quite nice to watch, some players really are talented. I especially like Marta (Brasilia), Sawa (Japan) and Nécibe (France), it's really nice to see what they can do with the ball.

Nécibe, the Zidane of women football :)

 My favorite team is (of course) Germany, but they had only one very good game (against France) and that is not enough to get to the finals. Very very sad, I wanted to see them win at home.
Another team I got into is Japan. As long as they play the way they did so far nearly no team can face them at the moment cause they just convince with good passing and a great will.
Someone said on TV that the way Japan play reminds him of Spain or Barcelona. And as victorious as them Japan will be at this World Cup do i say ;)

But there are some aspects I don't like. For me the goals are to big for a women. It is a fact that women aren't as tall as men, so what about smaller goals? (pls don't get this as an offense ._.)
Maybe then the goalkeepers would be better. That's another aspect I don't like. Rarely you see good goalkeepers..... expect for Hope Solo, she is the only one who made a good performance. She is rather "big", 1,75 m. Goalkeepers in men football are at least 1,85m or something like that...
The last thing I want to tell is the fact that there are only a few good referees.... many little ( and sometimes big mistakes like in the game of Equatorial Guinea where a player took the ball in her hands, although the game continued....) mistakes and so, that really lowers the quality of a game...

Nevertheless I really enjoyed the World Cup and I'm now waiting for the final game. My guess: Japan will win^^
One big PLUS the women football gets because the players aren't wimps like the men, after a foul they immediately stand up. That's the way how it should be men! :)



Soo, last but not least: I have started to play Go again, now I have more than enough time to train for the tournament in Köln in August. Gonna be fun I think^^
