Previously, I never did that, but the impressive performance of Indonesia in the first match in group stage (against Malaysia) has somehow unite all the Indonesians (including me) to support them.

Indonesia so far has gained full points (9 points) in the group stage. Against Malaysia, they won 5-1. They won again against Laos 6-0 (really two impressive results :shock: ), and Thailand 2-1.

Currently waiting for the next match against Philippines. Hope Indonesia wins. Maju terus Indonesia! 8)

Roughly English translation (my style of writing back then was really unorganized, so I edited it roughly to ease understanding what I was trying to say):

“I was watching Federer vs Ferrero in the 2nd set. Then, because I was so lazy watching Federer, I turned on my desktop. Around 7 or 8. I thought the match between Nadal and Berdych have been broadcast live. When I switched to StarSports, I found that instead of tennis, it was soccer which was broadcast. Wew, even until now it is still being broadcast LIVE. It’s really annoying since I couldn’t watch MonteCarlo semifinal. My dad said that it could be until half past two. Akh, damn soccer… Soccer is really annoying to watch, the ball was kicked here and there. Goals are rarely made. Haha… :D To soccer fans: sorry. I wonder when I would love soccer?? I wonder when..”

I think the past me had never thought the possibility I would love soccer one day. But now I can answer the question: “Hey, I love soccer now! Not as much as I love tennis still, but I have started to enjoy it.” Before, I was whining how the goals are rarely made in soccer. But now, I really love that aspect from soccer. The rarity of a goal made each goal really precious.

Credits goes to Spain and World Cup 2010 for making me love soccer ?

Spain managed to score a late goal in the extra time (4 minutes to end) to grab their first World Cup trophy.

Not really surprising since Nadal received barely challenges from Tomas Berdych when winning the Wimbledon 2010. Compare it to Wimbledon 2008 when Nadal finally able to surpass Roger Federer in five-set-thriller longest Wimbledon match in history.
