哈哈哈哈，真是笑死我了

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 :-)

and for me, my heart was broken when Belgium lost (we both supported Belgium from our hearts) .. but then all my heart is with such a small team from such a small country .. and they were fighting like a lion .. so it does not matter for nationality but guys had a real can-do attitude and never gave up. So they really deserve all my respect .. :-) and they really could win easily if the refere would not give that penalty and a little bad luck with auto goal .. so next time ... :-)"

 

他們夫婦真的把我們笑死了！！

附注：他們住在比利時。1990年戰爭期間，他們碰巧不在南斯拉夫。出於人道主義，男方當時工作的美國公司全力為他們安排生活和工作，整個西方社會都在為他們的未來努力，經過多方聯係，他們被送到比利時，從此在比利時安居樂業。這也是前南國家人民，大部分非常親西方的原因。

 

哎呦哎吆，我都來不及更新。男人Pajo又過來一個電郵，明確了在足球上和老婆的不同意見

 

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.
