I figured that I need to blog about the most anticipated event this year, the World Cup 2010 in South Africa. Amazingly, South Africa and African nation got the privilege to host the World Cup this year. I kinda wonder when will Malaysia be the first South East Asian country to host...hopefully if they are able to host, they will be a more formidable team and able to challenge Asian superhorses, South Korea and Japan. That is all I am asking....
This World Cup has been a really unpredictable with many team pulling off upsets, Spain lost to Slovenia, France being eliminated from the group stage, England (as usual) cannot gel their players into contenders again (Fabio, you better put in Joe Cole!!!) and Germany lost to Serbia.
As the quarter final is fastly approaching, the teams that impresses me is Argentina (Messi of course), Dutch, and maybe Brazil/Portugal. Back in SMK BB, I used to bet with my friends chicken rice or drinks but now everything has changed. I learned that betting on football only makes me poorer. I learnt my lesson and now, no more betting on football for me. However, I still have a knack of predicting World Cup champions. I predicted last year that Italy will win. This time, I think my number one choice will be Spain, Argentina and Holland. Dark horses will be England...England, just because. There is a tingly feeling that maybe Portugal will emerge victorous..haha!!
I guess this is why they call it football fever....You stay up till 4am and wake up at 12pm the next day...very productive indeed!!
