Stunning upset at Wimbledon!

I am sitting here and I just watched a great match...the quarter final match up here of Venus Williams (5 time champion and 82 seed (much lower down) Tsvetana Pironkova (Bulgaria). It was an amazing game, 2 set whomp-um over the American. This girl really varied the pace on Venus and made her work for her power. In tennis, they usually slam it at each other so you go pace for pace. This girl sliced and diced and kept her pace low so that Williams had to hit it out and bring the power. That gets very tiring and it was so crafty and smart for her to do. I tell you, GREAT match here by this girl. She drop shotted, hit spin and really mixed it up so that she won over the heavier playing Venus Williams. Clever, shrewd and really good tennis.

I was sitting here and talking to the TV...I wanted her to win this. AND SHE DID! Williams tried to pull it back but she could not. This girl took it!!!

What a great match! The crowd was totally with Pironkova and she was the first Bulgarian to make the semis. How great is that?

Paraguay vs Japan

What a game so far Paraguay-Japan. No score...overtime minutes and still NO SCORE.

Now some kind of sudden death thing? And the stream goes to stoopid commercials. Gah!

That does it. How tense was that...that poor guy who blew his goal. You could see it go off the top of the goal. Poor him. Refs were very fussy about the ball being ON that spot...right on it. Fussy fussy. :P

What a game!

Catching Up On...Spain-Portugal

Both teams ARE really cute...but I have a soft spot in my heart for Spain as I lived there when I was younger. Just a beautiful place and a beautiful people, warm, fun-loving and lively. M'encanta Espagna. I have never been to Portugal so...

That goal was like a flea-flicker...he flipped it over the goalie. Wowsie.

Final score on this one:

Spain 1 Portugal 0

They managed to hold them off for the rest of the game. I love the nightly primetime coverage here. I can catch up on what I missed during the day. Looks like the next games are Friday? Long way away. O.o
