Who Do you Support This World Cup?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike says: The Omen ain't scary... it isn't even a horror movie. It's more of a action/adventure drama flick, but it was nice. I like how the story goes, but the main character could have used a Phoenix Down or at least a godmode cheat code... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weeee... Football fans rejoice, this is the one sporting moment the all of us look forward to, the world over every four years. The opening ceremony in Germany starts tonight and all you gotta do is kick back, relax and enjoy the ride. I, on the other hand, am gonna have a busy month. For one, I shall be losing alot of money this month, skipping school regularly and for the first time in my life, I will be paying attention to something other than girls. But this post shall be cattered to the less enthusiastic audience of the World Cup; those that couldn't care less who wins but is just in it for the thrill (or the money). So which team will you be supporting for this World Cup? Need a suggestion? You could do what I did 8 years ago and support the favourite team which is, who else but, Brazil...
South Korea Japan Personally, I'm not a big fan of Japan mainly because, most supporters of Japan in Malaysia don't know anything about football but are so crazily behind them because they love anime, and it drives me crazy to hear them chant "Go Naruto!" when watching a football match... South Korea, on the other hand, is a truckload of talent- genuine talent. Ok I take my hat off to some Japanese players like Nakamura and Takahara, but the other players are just overated. Now where was I? Ah yes, South Korea. Coached by ex-Netherlands coach, Dick Advocaat, this nation's known for producing speedy and destructive players. Don't get what I mean? Well, take a look at Park Ji-Sung for one, Manchester United's midfield dynamo. One of the few reasons why Manchester United have been winning so many games, scoring so many goals and finished second in the English Premier League table. Still haven't found a team to support? Why not try supporting the underdogs. Saudi Arabia anyone? No? How about Togo? Trinidad and Tobago? Togo Well if you do decide to support Saudi Arabia, know that they conceded 12 goals and scored none in the last Wolrd Cup in 2002. As for Trinidad and Tobago and Togo, this the first time those two nations are appearing in the World Cup. Trinidad and Tobago So, it doesn't matter which you support because all three could get knocked out in the first round. Then again, go ahead and support all three... Of course the most famous footballer plays in England plus people watch the EPL throughout the regular football season, so I assume that must be the reason. David Beckham... gets more involved in more publicity than football Personally, England would be an alternate team for me to see win the World Cup. In the 1980's they were labelled the Brazil of Europe because of their Total Football policy, which means anyone can play anywhere. Midfielders could convert to strikers, strikers could convert to goalkeepers, defenders could convert to referees... Call me an ass but I also support Holland's European rivals, Portugal. Why? Because I play for them lah! "I say a little prayer or two..." Lmao just kidding, but I do like their coach Luiz Phillipe Scolari, the big man behind Brazil's triumph in 2002. Behind that psychotic mind is a genius... The Portugal football team isn't packed with stars unlike the Netherlands, Brazil or Argentina. Coached by Guus Hiddink (the guy who led South Korea to the semi finals in 2002) , this team is my pick to be one of the dark horses to cause many upsets and surprises. If you still haven't made up your mind, go ahead and support the hosts Germany. This year, Germany will be relying on their best player to steer them through. Their best player by far... I gotta warn though, you may not end up feeling any much richer than you were before even if Germany win all their matches.
