Worldcup Blues

I was really sad to see Brazil and Argentina leave the World Cup. I'm rooting for Spain now. But almost everyone else at home is anticipating a German win. Germany may be playing well but for me there's no fun in watching the German team play. There's none of the spirit that I saw from the Brazilian, Argentinian and Ghanaian sides. Ah le sigh ... I'll miss them.

World Cup Feeeevahhh !

I LOVE the World Cup because football is about so much more than just the game. In the poorer countries of the world football can be an escape from poverty and a vehicle for social change. My country didn't qualify this year because we suck so I'm rooting for Argentina to take home the trophy in the end. I know they're a great team but I really just love watching Lionel Messi being gorgeous on the field and Diego Maradona's antics on the sidelines.

I mean....look at Maradona's jaunty little cap! Adorable.
