這是今天早晨收到的,我們朋友, 塞族克羅地亞人關於決賽的電郵:
“As for the football, I think Croatia was a little lucky with the draw: on one side you had very strong teams France, Belgium, Brazil, Uruguay, while on the other side pretty weak teams Denmark, Sweden, Croatia, England. Yes, they played the final game and they showed the fighting spirit, and all of this made the game nice to watch. However, tactically they made it completely wrong. France let them control the midfield and after an hour of running, killed them with some fast breaks. In short, France is a better team and they deserve this victory, while Croatia won the sympathy - everybody a winner."
今天晚上,就是剛才,他老婆,波斯尼亞穆斯林(早已世俗化,她爸爸還是阿訇呢,但在鐵托時期,南斯拉夫的穆斯林是必須世俗化的,沒有頭巾,吃豬肉,等等),估計是看了她老公的回複,這樣回複我們:
“you should know that Pajo (her husband) is not very good supporter of Croatia since his nationality is Serbian.. so he will be very much criticising them .. hihihi :-)
I try to be realistic. I am not a kind of supporter that always try to find the blame in someone else. Actually, I DO NOT PUT ANY CRITICS at Croatia, I just say France is a better team. My hart was with Belgium but I did not try to find excuses for the lost against France. I see France (and trust me many other football experts) as the strongest team on the tournament (and I was saying this from the beginning) and it is not a shame to lose from a better team.
Now, back to Croatia. They played that last game with passion, fighting spirit and an enormous will. They gave 120% and for this they won the worlds sympathy. But that does not mean they are better team. And I found it incorrect (and a shame) to put the blame on the referee for the penalty that was more than obvious.
