Spain vs Netherlands on Sunday, July 11 for FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa

Spain won 1-0 against Germany last night with a corner kick connection to Puyol with a header that was too strong and too fast for the German goalie to recover. ;)

This time I watched it at my friend’s house along with a couple of other friends and some beer. It was a bit late and we still have work the next morning but it was all good. We cheered for Spain! :)

What’s up with this Paul the octopus and his predictions??

Are you for Netherlands? or Spain? :) Cast your votes now! Wear your colors!

World Cup, South Africa 2010

I am currently watching Mexico up by 2 goals versus France.

Oui!

World Cup

There is no denying it. The pitch is ready, the ball is in the center field, the national flags are up and waved, faces painted, trumpets, drums, flares. It is World Cup 2010!

South Africa must be crowded this time of the year. Me and like millions of fans that are not there to witness the festivities in person will only wish we were there. But it is all good. With the help of the Internet and satellite television we get to see the “Jabulani” traversing the green pitch from end to end.

32 countries, if I am not mistaken, are divided into 8 groups with 4 teams in each group. The first match was host country South Africa against Mexico which ended with a nil-nil. And then there’s Argentina winning by a goal against Nigeria, South Korea outscoring Greece with 2 – nil.

And tonight (GMT +4), we get to see the United States takes on England. England scored early via Gerrard, but the US team was able to find an equalizer from Dempsey, well actually it was a “fumble” by the English goalie.

This is just the first 4 games of the Cup of life and it is starting to heat up as we see Germany tomorrow.

I hate to insert political musings into this post, but I am glad we still have international games. What with all the tensions in the embargos, phantom torpedoes, and border riots we can still all sit back and support our national teams, or some other nation’s team. Sitting still might not be the case when we see people burning cars (oops), but were we not glad Iran and US got to a friendly table(albeit green setting) and fight it out with spikes not missiles/diplomatic sanctions in the previous cups?

I am still looking for that speech by then UN General Kofi Annan regarding the essence of the cup and how he envied it. How people can easily forget about hate, and just compete in a friendly manner. And how nations cooperate and focus into a single goal.

The Cup.

By the way, I am for Spain and Italy. :)
