哈哈哈哈，真是笑死我了

这是今天早晨收到的，我们朋友， 塞族克罗地亚人关于决赛的电邮：

“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，就是刚才，他老婆，波斯尼亚穆斯林（早已世俗化，她爸爸还是阿訇呢，但在铁托时期，南斯拉夫的穆斯林是必须世俗化的，没有头巾，吃猪肉，等等），估计是看了她老公的回复，这样回复我们：

“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 ... :-)"

 

他们夫妇真的把我们笑死了！！

附注：他们住在比利时。1990年战争期间，他们碰巧不在南斯拉夫。出于人道主义，男方当时工作的美国公司全力为他们安排生活和工作，整个西方社会都在为他们的未来努力，经过多方联系，他们被送到比利时，从此在比利时安居乐业。这也是前南国家人民，大部分非常亲西方的原因。

 

哎呦哎吆，我都来不及更新。男人Pajo又过来一个电邮，明确了在足球上和老婆的不同意见

 

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.
