The 4 years cycle since Germany has ended and now the biggest competition in football descends upon the southern tip of the African continent. By far, this seems to be the most controversial venue for the World Cup in recent years with issues of security, crime, terrorism, safety and management issues coming to the forefront. A few major stars will be missing through injury, most notably peeps like Ferdinand, Ballack and Essien. Others are major dropouts such as Ronaldinho.
As usual, I'll be rooting for my favourite national teams Nederland and Deutschland but I don't think they stand a very good tournament though, especially for Deutschland. They'll probably make it to the quarters or even semis, but I think they'll fall short to go to the final. If there's no upset going on, I'll predict that Brazil and Spain will most probably make it to the final. The other team which I think may have a good chance is Argentina with their arrays of good attackers but given the nature of the draw, it's either Spain or Argentina that's gonna make it to the final since both will also most probably meet at the semis.
In Malaysia, the mamak and tomyam stalls shall be flooded with patrons unless of course, you have Astro in the comfort of your own home. But nothing beats the atmosphere of a few bunch of people coming together screaming and shouting for their teams..haha. Since I'll be in conference this weekend, I may need to miss the first few group matches. It's gonna be a football mania month with late nights at 2.30am in the morning..haha
Anyways, Cut the talk. Bring on the football =D
