Fusbal, calcio, futbol, bola Mania!!!

The fever is here..World Cup fever and exam fever !!

Pros & Cons of the World Cup fever
Pros

1. Late nights – can study longer hours (in front of the tv ? yeah, right! Eh, but can what..)
2. More topic of conversation
3. Good excuse to go for mamak
4. No more boring nights for the whole month!!

5. Excuse for not attending weddings ! (But bear the consequences later when your friend / relative bugs you on your absence )

Cons
1. Sleepy day, because of late nights
2. Can’t concentrate in class (the lecturers are monotonous anyway)
3. Put on weight becos of Pros # 3 (teh tarik, munchies etc)

4. Loss of voice (too much shouting )

The opening match between Germany VS Costa Rica is superb...makes you want more of the action!! Give me more yeah !!

I'm rooting for Italy, although it seems quite remote of them winning the cup. I'm guessing Argentina will win it, based on their beating of S&M 6-0.


Mama mia!! Looks like a slice of pizza

It's really painful to watch the Azzuris drawing with US, because of their own goal!!! Maybe they were too confident of beating US. But Totti didn't deserve the yellow card! (Trivia: He cut his hair short 4 hours before the 1st match against Ghana).

And from the video footage, De Rossi's elbow did land on McBride's face, but how did it end up with blood and needing 3 stitches? McBride must have an old injury where the elbow hit him. I mean, our elbows aren't that sharp to cut the skin.


That own goal-Buffon: What did you just do??!! Zaccardo : Pls forgive me..

And that match ended up with 3 red cards, reportedly to be only the 4th time in a World Cup finals. Never gonna see that again for quite some time. I have reservations with the referees. (For the Italy VS US match, the referee is parrot breeder by job). The last WC 2002, it was bad refeering for the Azzuris to have lost to South Korea. And that particular referee is actually already banned by FIFA.


Totti wondering why the Parrot breeder gave him the yellow card

But one thing I enjoyed, is the air Violin playing goal celebration by Gilardino. Any takers for air guitar after this? I think I'll start collecting goal celebrations...that would be fun !!

I'm also watching for Stevie G for his far-range-shot-into-the-goal-at-the-last-minute. It did happen in injury time against T&T. You can always bank on him. I was hoping Crouch would do his robot dance, but I guess he forgot about it when he scored..too excited to score first time in World Cup history. Hey, kewl...2 goals from Liverpudlians !!!
