Yes! I did finally get into the World Cup Fever, beginning from the quarterfinal matches. Sadly, my samba boys (Brazil) did not clear their quarterfinal match and allowed the Frenchies to stride into the semis and then the finals. Neither did my German cuties made it to the finals. A very sad World Cup Finals for me indeed.
But the match that left the strongest impression on me (I didn't watch that many matches after all) was the one between Germany and Italy. Their match was tied at 0-0 right up to the 29th minute of extra time and suddenly the Italians scored two goals straight! What a waste!
Lessons Learned:
Lesson 1
No matter how vigilant we are, the moment we relax our defences, our competitors will find the crack and hit us where it hurts. Witness the Germany versus Italy match.
Lesson 2
It doesn't matter if you are a legend. You butt (headbutt), you pay (red card)! Poor Zidane. What a way to go.
Lesson 3
When in Europe, the Europeans will triumph.
Lesson 4
Everyone's an expert on football. From beauty queens to sexy teens. From mat motor to pak mamak.
Lesson 5
Football fans become nocturnal animals. Comatose by day, vampires by night.
Lesson 6
Not hitting sales targets? Reason: everybody's too busy watching World Cup to stimulate the economy!
Lesson 7
The less you know about football, the higher the chances of winning your bets!
Lesson 8
World Cup is more popular than Wimbledon!
Lesson 9
Late to work? Blame it on World Cup!
Lesson 10
It doesn't matter if everyone lies. You can be sure of one thing. Your hips don't lie! :p
Here's to my samba boys!
Hips Don't Lie
