♥ When women talk about World Cup...
During my teenage years, I would always wonder why boys love football. It's not that I don't like to watch the matches but I would not be that fanatic and wake up in the middle of the night just watch the matches and sacrifice my precious beauty sleep!
But I guess being addicted to football sometimes makes people change. World Cup 2002 really did that to me. Everyday, I would rush back from the office to watch the live matches since the time difference between Japan, Korea and Malaysia are only one hour apart.
This year, I don't mind sacrificing my sleep at all just to watch the matches. Even my dad and mum are a bit puzzled seeing their daughter watching matches and neglecting my one time favourite show - Akademi Fantasia just to watch football! What can I say, I really love the sport.
It's not about seeing cute players chasing a ball but the skills and their mission - to score a goal. Some may say that women only like to watch football because of the cute hunks playing for a team. To me, cute or handsome, that is just a plus. But I really love their skills on the field that sends adrenaline rushing inside of me.
At home, I watch the matches alone or with my dad. The problem is that I can't yell out loud cheering the team that I support. This has nothing to do about my dad scolding me or what-so-ever, but my dad just doesn't show his enthusiasm when watching and I'd feel awkward cheering and being over excited.
I remember the tense of having to control myself while watching MyTeam vs Malaysia at a big sreen in Port Dickson. But I did let out a few shouts here and there when I forgot about being the gadis melayu terakhir. Hehe..
My favourite players would be Micheal Ballack, Miroslav Klose, David Beckham, David Villa, Hidetoshi Nakata, Ahn Jung Hwan, Oliver Kahn, Bobadilla, Messi, Ronaldinho, Kaka and Tevez to name a few. These guys really have skills man!
In the early stages of the game, I predicted Brazil would win the cup and the first runner up would be Germany followed by England. But after watching the first round, I think that I'd change the prediction. Brazil played a laid back game and kind of missed out all the actions and played safe. Germany played tremendously superb in all the games. And England kind of like struggled to win each game. Every beautiful kicks by Beckham never did get the finishing touch needed for a goal. So I'd say that Germany would win the cup this year since it is their advantage in playing in their own country. First runner up would be Brazil and followed by England.
But one thing here, eventhough I really love football and would wake up at 3am to watch the match if my favourite team plays in it, I still can't understand what off-side is and spot it in a second. How pathetic right? ;-)
