New Found Interests

I have never been a football fan nor have I ever watched any matches from beginning till the end before this. To me, football is weird because for the life of me, I couldn't figure out the fun in watching 10 grown men behaving like kids (all the pulling and tugging coupled with dramatic acting) trying to chase after 1 ball. The only plus point that I could think of was watching sweaty, good-looking men, running around; in shorts... hehehe. But all these changed this year. I worked on a project at work that exposed to me some of the hottest players in WC that somewhat increased my awareness of football a little. The first match I watched was Germany vs. England that totally changed my perception of football.

Here in this game; the team spirit and dynamism was so apparent with the semi-known Germany players! It really goes to show that there's no limit as to what a team can achieve together when the so called underdog team beat the crap out of England with a 4-1! So what if England is a star-studded team cos' instead of playing the game as a team, England team members seemed more eager to display their own heroism for personal fame and glory!

This was supposed to be a longer post, but I procrastinated for so long that I now am "malas" to write about it anymore. Suffice to say that my Hb was very happy with my new found interest in football and was very eager to explain the rules of the game to me. With his explanation, I find it more and more interesting that I sacrificed my beauty sleep to watch the Finals of Spain vs. Netherlands! Slept only 2 hours and boy was I zombie-fied at work!!! And oh... Paul the Octopus was right once again!!! Cool dude I tell ya!
