Never Say Die

Ok here's my blog on EURO CUP :-) Don't panic, it has reached its knock out stage, so not much of it is left anyways. And here, i am not going to give gyaan on types of fouls (have i spelt it correctly?) and free kicks (are there various types of these at all?). I still maintain that I have absolutely no idea why the hell 22 grown up pig like men (when they are playing football, i cant think of better description - i am sorry, Pigs, oops, i mean, guys) keep chasing a ball from one goal post to the other, when each one of them has ... no sorry, I cant be this obscene while writing a blog. But what to do, i just cant control my emotions when it comes to football. Anyways, here I am going to talk about two matches, namely, the one between Croatia and Turkey, and then the other one between Russia and Holland. No, I didnt watch any of the two mentioned matches - I was happily snoring away to glory then, but I heard about them.

Croatia and Turkey - everyone expected Croatia to win. They were the hot favorite, top of the chart team, played brilliantly throughout the series. And Turkey was the underdog team. The match went on for 90 minutes. None of the teams could score a goal, which prompted them to play extra time. During the first minute of the extra time Croatia hit a goal - everyone went crazy and it was taken for granted that they are going to the semifinal beating Turkey. But then, as they say, there is many a slip, between the cup and the lip - when only 45 seconds were left of that extra time, Turkey scored a goal, which made the scores equal! Unbelievable! I have heard, the Croatian coach even went on to the record saying that the refree gave more time, and that the Turkish goal should be disqualified?! Anyways, then both the team headed for penalty shootout. In which Turkey defeated Croatia!

I have nothing against both the teams, any team could have won for all i care, but then, i liked the way the Turkish have won. Only because they were almost written off. Nobody expected them to win. And in such a situation they bounced back. They proved all of them wrong. They made it to the semifinals. I dont know whether they will win the final or not, but am sure, this particular match will always be one of their best and most memorable one. Heard a similar kinda thing happened in the match between Russia and Holland where Holland was the hot favorite team and Russia was almost written off, and in the end Russia bounced back and defeated Holland 3-1.

No sitaution in life is such that you cant bounce back. Nothing is impossible. And if you truely believe this, you will always make it and achieve what you want in life, no matter how tough the situation is for you. Never say die, miracles do happen, and no one else but YOU are the one who can make miracles happen in your life.
