Somehow, I feel really tired today.
Slept most of the day off.
Nope, it's not because I have been watching the World Cup matches.
Most of the matches are so early in the morning and I am not much of a football fan to sacrifice my sleep to watch them.
I have not watch a single match.
But four years ago I did watch some of the World Cup matches.
The time zone was not so bad at that time.
I remember supporting Germany.
I think they played a very attractive football in that tournament.
In fact I think they played better than the eventual champion Spain.
As it is, Spain was thrashed the other day by Holland 5-1. I saw the results in the newspapers.
From what I was told, Holland is the best runners up of the World Cup. Always a good team, but not good enough to win the trophy. It would be nice for them if they could actually win the tournament this time around.
Whatever it is, I will continue to support Germany. I would consider it as my adopted football country.
No particular reason for it except that I like their team the last time I watched them played.
Well, what to do....Malaysia will never get to the World Cup. At least not in my life time, I think.
Anyway, I don't think I will stay up to watch even the matches played by Germany...except maybe if they are in the final match.
I just pick them as my team so that I would not be left out when they talk football in the office over the next weeks.
interesting...okey oriat okey...but now that you have tell the team that you like...why not tell the team you dont like...atleast the team that you would like to see losing....:D

DeleteWell, don't stop at thinking that it's impossible. Instead, pray to make it possible and work real hard and smart to make it come true .....

Annie must be driving German Marque to fully support Germany in the World Cup. Well, can't blame her for that if its true. Myself is driving and riding German Marque too and always support German in all their apperance in the World Cup since Franz Beckenbauer era.
ReplyDeleteGO GERMANY GO.
Only a she man interested in footy and hit aeroplane. Annie does that
DeleteI hope JDT won. It proved the theory that money can buy trophies. A liberal dose of gedebe and kurang ajar goes along way too.
ReplyDeleteBrazil, Argentina, Germany or Spain: Who'll win the World Cup this year?

"I always had a philosophy which I got from my father. He used to say: "Listen. God gave you the gift to play football. This is your gift from God. If you take care of your health, if you are in good shape all the time, with your gift from God no one will stop you, but you must be prepared.'" [Pele in the 70's]
ReplyDelete"The trouble for today's footballers is they have too many distractions. We used to get our old players coming to watch training with football magazines in their hands. Now, more often than not, they are checking the share prices."
[Franz Beckenbauer in the 70's]

Soccer is no longer a sport but a massive mega bucks industry. As in any industry there are major players who effectively control the industry. In soccer, the European call the shots. It is unthinkable that these major players will not be part of the actions. Similarly much of the "favourable decisions" on and off the field will be with them. Brazil's penalty decision is a clear example.
ReplyDeleteSo, don't be fooled by the results. I consider soccer just another wrestling. An entertainment, just another clown show.
halo anie..Germany will be in the final..they are strong and efficient like the merc n bmw
ReplyDeleteMerc and BMW always break down, especially after the warranty period
DeleteIn this case, lets go dutch
