Interview: Snowboarder Markku Koski
Markku Koski is talking to World Cup official site about the match between Sweden and England and about World Cup in general.
So, what did you think of the match?
It was good game. When you get four goals, it’s always a good game. I thought England played really well, but they blew it in the end like England always do. They were a bit unlucky, but they did have a really good game and it was fun to watch as well.
When Gerrard scored his goal, I was sure they were going to win. I was pretty stoked he’d scored. Then again, Sweden, like always, somehow they managed to come back at the very end. The Swedes do that in every sport, and they did it again the other night.Which team were you supporting?
It was England for me. England just has such a strong relationship with football.Who would you say was the best player on the pitch?
It’s hard to say. The whole English team played pretty well, except for a couple of mistakes. But my favourite was Gerrard, even if he was on the bench for the early part of the game. When he came on to the field, he played really well. He is my favourite player.Have you seen any other matches at this FIFA World Cup ™?
Yeah, I’ve seen almost every match; at least two games per day. It would be really nice to watch all the games. For me, Argentina are playing really well. I think they have a good chance.At this stage of the tournament, which teams do you see contesting the final?
It’s hard to say. It depends on which teams meet in the semi-finals, I suppose. I definitely hope that England will have a chance of winning it. And Argentina of course. Maybe Brazil, but I don’t think they have played their best yet. I’m not sure they will go all the way. .You are participating in FIFAworldcup.com’s McDonalds/FIFA World Cup Fantasy Game as part of the Celebrity League. How it is going so far?
It’s not going really well, because in the beginning I didn’t understand the rules. So I kind of left the players on the bench who should have been playing. Hopefully I can do better, though. I am really involved in this FIFA world Cup and it’s lots of fun.Activity
