Dream's Over

Yesterday at approximately 5pm Algeria time, we witnessed how Algerians' dream of further pursuing into the World Cup 2010 was over.

When Algerian "luckily" managed to draw with England in the previous match, they were thrilled. Right after the game finished, we heard locals honking on the roads and even saw fireworks on the sky. The very next day, Toyota Algeria declared that the coming Wednesday it will be a half working day for the staff so that they could all go home and watch how Algeria fight their way through into the top 16 group.

Yesterday, after the match, it was death silence in Algiers. No honking and no fireworks.

Poor Algerians, what a pity that they managed to defense the game to a nil-nil game for the whole 90 minutes only to lost 1 goal in the last 4 minutes. Well not that they have played well because they have never managed to score a goal throughout the match, but i would say that their defending was way better than their attacking.

Oh well, dream's over for Algeria.

p/s: This year's World Cup resulted so many unexpected outcome! Italy is out but bravo for fighting so well even to the very last minute. I wonder if Ghana might win the cup now that there were so many unexpected outcome! haha
