football fever

and the world's talking about it.. seriously.

at nearly every place, regardless of the weird hours.. everyone will be staying up to watch the world cup. even if the match is at 3am and work starts at 9am.. (or even church service on sundays! ehhehe). and heard that some shops in germany are closed for the world cup fever.

seriously fever, man!

the main headlines is now the World Cup scores. mobile services giving out the world cup scores for each match. everyone's selling anything that has to do with the teams playing in the world cup. or even, some people talked abt it and get freebies for doing that!

well, not that i have anything against it. it just amazes me. world cup is way more happening than the olympics! and other sports that are happening around (like the French Open) are not so happening.. probably just me cuz i dont really follow the news. well, you dont see the world going frenzy when the Wimbledon is in action.. (hmm.. maybe when the russian chicks are playing.) other than that.. not as crazy as World Cup.. amazing.

i was taking a cab to the train station last weekend and yes.. i talked to the cab driver (again!). this time, he didnt teach me about marriage.. but rather, ended up talking about football. world cup in particular. talked about the brazilians, the french, the germans (they won! and i am getting FREE icecream for that! yay!! :D ). pretty interesting conversation. he talked about how people bet during such games. and especially how the whole had their confidence in brazil to win.. and when the brazilians lost.. fuh~! the devastation...

well, it was a short trip so, yea.. a short conversation too. we had a nice conversation.. though he was the one that did most of the conversation.

oh.. forgot to add.. the whole conversation was in.. cantonese. those who knows me well enough.. my cantonese is only those simple verbs.. well.. thank God for football having 'quite' a universal language - the teams name. hahahahaha..

now that my favourite team, brazil, is out.. who should i support? the germans..?? considering that i am going to get a FREE ice-cream for their win over argentina.. wowh..!
