Holland 3 Latvia 0
Holland 3 Latvia 0
Commentary by J.Chiam
*This section will be a short wan due to the commentator dozing of several times because of too much consumption of food and too much luxury from the device called Sofa.*
Picture this. In a breeze evening, far, far down the valley, where the rocky mountains lie, a match between the animals of the safari has begun. Playing on the green, fresh and sweet-smelling, carpet-like grass, there lies the monkey. With also the cuckoo bird, the robin, and the pit-bull, the match seems to be an interesting one. Not to mention, the awesome and funny clown is there to conduct the game.
Okay, okay, enough of fairy tales. Or is it not a fairy tale? Check this out. The monkey? Holland team player Michael Reizeger. Cuckoo bird? Philip Cocu. Robin? Arjen Robben. And of course, Edgar Davids a.k.a pit bull. Then comes the interesting one. Who resembles the clown? It is none other than Latvian goal keeper Kolinko, with a gigantic nose, what more else can it represent? Last but not least, the rocky mountains? The stadium! Of course! Towering above the field, with the Portuguese somehow either having a sense of humor, or trying to be “one with the nature”, was the artificial mountain that was build. One would think that their football players spent more time doing mountain climbing than playing football.
The match started brightly, or rather too brightly, with a sea of orange practically coloring the stadium. Game went on pretty smoothly without many hiccups, with Holland coming back well after the shock come-from-behind win by the Czechs. The Dutch’s pedigree marksman Van Nistelrooy registered a couple of goals, with Van Der Vaat claiming the final of the three goals scored. The Latvians put on a disappointing display, defending poorly and playing without much spirit. It is tempting to think that fatigue and inexperience in big matches has finally gotten to their players. Though the result says it all, it is best to say a word of “Congrats” to the Latvian team for bowing out proudly.
Having their fairy-tale run coming to an end, the Latvians can keep their heads high for doing so well in the tournament. Having proven that superstars don’t actually bring stars of glory, the little country of Latvia has something to shout about from now on. In this tournament, Latvia has made a stand and proclamation to the world, it takes the meek and weak to humble the strong.
