WORLD CUP FEVER!


I'm a huge FOOTBALL fan (real football aka The World Game). It is universal and enthralling, especially when the World Cup comes around every four years. Thanks to global migration post-WWII, my allegiance is split between: 1. Australia 2. Italy 3. Argentina.

While the Socceroos fought valiantly in their final two group matches, 2010 isn't their World Cup. The FFA now need to focus on developing young players to replace players like Kewell and Emerton. As the oldest team in tournament, Italy have failed to provide much excitement or entertainment. Of all my allegiances, Argentina is looking the most promising to take out the highest accolade in football. Add to that the fact that their coach is the most enthralling and compelling figure (some say caricature) in international football. Watching Maradona on the sidelines is like watching a train crash in slow motion, the guy just exudes a vibe reminiscent of a Greek Tragedy! 


Are you enjoying the World Cup?
