56 Days to Go!!!!
Thats right, less than two months before the start of the Football World Cup 2010 (or as i would like to call it - the 'festival of football),the game that is played by kicking around a roundish ball on a green pitch by roughly 22 men on average!!(as opposed to calling it soccer!!).
There is a lot of time for that and yet i can hardly wait. Some of the reasons why-
1] Liverpool FC have had such a pathetic season i am longing to cheer on another football team and watch some good football for a change(where players play like they want to win !)
2] I was listening to this song Wavin the flag (by K'naan) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxWX1yGcsHQ&feature=related...its a really nice song with a reggae touch to it....listening to it got me in the mood.
3] Every WC has a special buzz , suddenly football(or soccer) is talked about constantly, needless to say i love such conversations!
4]Working from home would be a lot more fun!!!!
5]In the past WC's i was always a Brazil fan through and through, now i do not have a particular team- i would be rooting for the following teams Spain, Argentina, holland , brazil and England (in that order!)..it just adds more variety and spice to the tournament.
6] Did i mention that it happens only once in four years!!
