After French, now German...??
Something that happens once every 4 years is here yet again.
An event that makes many zombie-like as they troop off to work in the morning, as if they are on drugs or something, brought on by keeping late nights with their eyes glued to the goggle box, cheering on their own group of 11 men(sometimes reduced to 10 or even 9...)as they run after a specially-designed ball , incorporated with aerodynamic features to guarantee that it will find its way to the back of a net strung between 2 posts with the minimum of effort, on an impeccably-maintained grass pitch, some with checkerboard designs.
And also jeering the other group of 11 men and occasionally the remaining 3 men in either black, green, red or yellow, with one of them having no qualms about flashing either a yellow or a red card at anyone of these 22 men should they run foul of the laws of the game.
Yes, it's soccer's World Cup.
Something that captures the heart and imagination of many around the globe, with its potential for surprises and heart-aches, on and off the pitch.
Was hoping for some surprises and upsets but alas, at this point in time, most of the games have more or less progressed according to the form books.
No fun at all.
Well, let's hope for the unexpected as the tournament unfolds.
Who would you tip to lift the trophy on July 9?
