The World Cup Season is finally here. This year, the circus travels to Germany where we see the best 32 in the world compete against one another. Currently, the competition is still in its early stages, so the hype is not quite there yet, at least not for me.
One bad thing about this year's tournament is that we soccer fans need to pry our eyes open at ungodly hours for a glimpse of soccer ( or hunk ) action. Boy, was i glad the previous World Cup was held in Asia. This time, the best matches are reserved for the 3 am slot....arrrggghh...
So far, the favourites turned out to be disappointing. Brazil, Holland, England, Germany, France all produced less than thrilling results. Same goes for the world class strikers. Names like Ronaldo, Owen, Zidane, Totti and Trezeguet have been shooting blanks so far. I would've happily added names like Shevchenko and Raul into that list, but DAMN, they scored tonight... But i must say Thierry Henry and Van Nisterooy are not that impressive with one goal apiece either.
I am now anticipating the Holland-Argentina clash on Thursday morning. God bless Lionel Messi!! Hallelujah!
