Many may be surprised that I havent written anything about soccer even though the world cups running on full steam... Well, I was thinking it would be nice to see enough matches before making a comment on the whole show. Its half way now and the wheat has been seperated from the chaff. I still wanna reserve comment on the teams for a more opportune time; but, at the onset, I am thoroughly impressed with the organization and even more impressed with the Adidas ad (dont know the relevance , but still)..
Soccer is just such an empowering game and played at such break-neck speed that you tend to fall in love with the game... It hardly lasts 2 hrs and seems the easiest thing to do... Only once when you land on a soccer field that you would understand how enormous the task is...
Anyways, like always this championship has thrown in its fair share of twists and turns, upsets and ecstacies, dissappointments and excitements, poor judgement and skills par excellence display... Some memories like the Swedes rushing to a draw in the last minute has been etched in memory forever...
Some heroes are born... some destroyed... As the tournament progresses; stakes would get higher and gossips louder... A simple mistake would be a catastrophe while one right move may improve your stock by a few millions.. The ball crossin the goal line would determine everything from your new tees to your new GODs...
Joga Bonito or the Beautiful Game as I understand it; is casting a spell on this populace of 6 billion...
As is said... 32 countries... One religion.... One temple.... the search for GOD ends July 9th...
