I performed terribly in all sports that I played last weekend. I didn't do very well at the weekly LFM soccer game on Friday. I wasn't as fast as I had wanted to be and didn't handled the ball very well. Worse, I hurt my ankle during the game - still nursing the injury at the moment. Saturday's tennis game with Dave wasn't much better either. I struggled with most of my serves and had difficulty returning Dave's serves. The squash game with AJ and Sriram on Sunday was another disaster. Out of 6 games, I lost all games with them. I wasn't hitting that badly; but my problem was placement - I kept hitting the ball straight at my opponent, which made it easy for them to return. Arghhh... How frustrating.
But the biggest disappointment in sports last weekend was the World Cup final. It was a heartbreaker not because the team that I supported for lost but my favorite player in the World Cup, Zinedine Zidane, did something blatantly and deliberately stupid. I am still baffled by Zidane's head-butt on Italy's Marco Materazzi during the World Cup final. What circumstances prompted him to do this? Apparently, the whole news media around the world are still covering this news two days after it happened. I don't know, I was disappointed by this incident. All in all, an utterly disappointment in sports last weekend - self-induced and otherwise. :-(
