I love blogging about soccer. So yah, after a long time NOT blogging about my favourite thing.

Ah so the next edition of the World Cup is just a little over a day away! How awesome is that? Finally in a continent the World Cup hasn't touch yet... South Africa? High altitudes... High crime rates? LOL that is awesome.

Well there is that long list of absentees. Ronaldinho, Alex Pato, Karim Benzema, Samir Nasri, Nani, David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand and Michael Essien to name a few. All household names that can't go either due to a lack of fitness/injury or just suck in the eyes of their national team managers. BUT don't fret all those footie fans out there, there's still C Ron, Leo Messi, STEVIE G :D Capt of England!, Robin van Persie, Rafael van der Vaart, Wesley Sneijder, Kaka, David Villa, Fernando Torres, ugh the whole Spanish team! Yup, and there is sure much controversy with Didier Drogba and his diving antics, Wayne Rooney's temper, coach Diego Maradona's awesome tactics, the cool North Koreans and their air of mystery, (yet again) the Spaniards and Thierry-Henry-will-he-handball-again question.

Awesome stuff, the timings of the matches aren't as bad as well. Most of the games are 7.30pm or 10pm, while there are those at 2.30am which are worth it to wake up and watch. The only thing that particularly irritates me is the seven-fold increase in price for the freaking World Cup package from Starhub/Singtel. Thanks guys, your competition hasn't driven prices down! In fact... way, way up! Why fix something that ain't broken? Starhub + Football (EPL, Champions League, World Cup) was a perfect combination already.

So anyway back to the main event. Hmm I'm gonna support England, yah I know I'm following most people in Singapore and probably the world but I don't care! Spain's my second favourite, with their flair and Xabi Alonso and Fernando Torres. Yummy... I hope France, Argentina doesn't go far! Hate 'em... Germany, Brazil will definitely make at least the quarters. Hmm surprise packages North Korea, South Korea, South Africa, would be nice to see them make the last 16 at least. North Korea... Haha what a team, especially when we don't know a thing about them.

So England with midfield maestros Stevie G, Frank Lampard, womanizers JT and Ashley Cole, goalkeepers-who-all-can-be-first-choice-for-some-reason David James, Joe Hart and Robert Green, flair players in Aaron Lennon, Joe Cool, SWP... Battering ram Emile Heskey, lanky Peter Crouch and the Great Wayne Rooney. C'mon guys bring the EPL some glory will ya!

Can't wait for the tournament to start proper! Hope its filled with goals and drama in equal measure! :D

Bye!
