Arguably, this is the BEST world cup ever though only 147 goals were shipped in. There were so many good games. The final between France and Italy was a befitting ending. Pity though old man Zidane suddenly went gaga and lost the plot. What a way to end a colorful career, red card in a world cup final for the most feebleminded act. Once that happened, I lost interest in supporting France, and didn't care who won in the end.
It was a 50-50 game that would've gone either way. I witnessed this game at the Curve Damansara last night. Thanks to Keropok, who managed to acquire some media passes for me to enter the VIP area where booze is free. Yes, that's right, free booze - beer, red wine, white wine, whiskey. :-) And air-conditioned too! Got a free World Cup bag, binoculars and 2 chairs to take back with me. LOL!
Myself and my Arsenal-supporting compadre Ravind (and a chick named Ennie that I befriended) initially headed off to a boozer next to Slippery Ni....Senoritas. There were so many Italian wannabes. I guarantee you that half of them don't know the starting 11. They just support Italy because their players are gay. LOL!
Then, we made our way (companioned by 3 ladies) to the media area, and Ravind (who is actually from the media) managed to get media passes for the girls. It was a memorable night, for both the right (atmosphere) and wrong (Zidane) reasons. Keropok, I'm definitely in the wrong line of work. LOL!
GERMANY - Juergen Klinsmann left his critics eating humble pie after the team finished 3rd on the back of a magnetic marque of high-tempo attacking football. Germany finished as the top scorers of the tournament with 14 goals. Klose won the Golden Shoe award and Lukas Podolski won the Best Young Player award. I do hope Germany continue to move away from the robotic stereotype that has dogged Germany since God-knows-when. :-) What do we do now that the World Cup is over? Malaysian football anyone? Hahahaha! Auf Wiedersehen! A big thank you to those who have been reading my blog and commenting on it. Cheers!
