Germany(w) – Sweden(w): Over time DRAMA

August 16th, 2008

Both teams were cautious, and much alerted. Exchanging balls with no specific purpose, or drawn plans, it came up clear that everyone was betting on the other to take the 1st step. 90 minutes of low level soccer jaded the crowds in Shenyang Olympic stadium.

Dagmova Dakmar ordered the kick off: this is over-time, and the boring process seemed infinite.

Odds were all thrown away, as German selection scored twice in the extra time. Kerstin(105th) And Simone Laudehr (115th) held Deutschland up in score, earning a ticket into the semi finals.

Germans will have to face Brazil, for the passage into the final game. With both teams looking like a winning bet to stand up tall with gold, some Sports news concluded that it’s an early final.

Individually, I wouldn’t bet on 1 team, knowing the United States ladies are also capable of making a good game, both physically and mentally

Williams sisters gone with the wind: Serena leaves 1st

August 15th, 2008

In what we label as “terrible” day for the favorites and categorize it into an extra stunning daytime for bet eager individuals, and after almost 30 minutes from taking Federer out of the way in men games, it was Serena Williams’ turn to leave the singles, in Beijing’s tennis tournament.

3-6 6-4 6-3 were enough for Elena Dementieva to dribble around Serena and move on to the next level of the competition.

Elena’s main stimulus was her silver medal in Australia’s 2000 games.

Now that Serena is out, Dementieva looks like a good place to but a bet. After all, Beijing games have been full of confounding results leaving no place for expectations or odds: new talents are flying high, as many favorites keep sinking.
