World Cup Fever

It’s yet that time of the season again. Once every 4 years the world’s greatest footballing nations meet to determine the best of the best …. well most times anyways. This year South Africa plays host to football’s biggest event the World Cup.

Singapore on the other hand just recently confirmed the live screening of the world cup. But the subscription is just too expensive for me and I will not be subscribing to it. Guess it’s off to the local coffee-shops to catch the matches I want to watch. Over the last few editions I have been using an excel sheet that tracks the team and scores. This round would have been no different except that a friend sent me a new version with team photo’s and flags, guess that will be used this round.

I also have my manual chart to compliment the electronic version. It’s up in my kitchen all ready to be filled in in the coming month.

So who am I rooting for. Always fancied the outsiders. Would love to see Asia – South Korea and Japan – do well even the Oceania regions like Australia and New Zealand maybe hope to produce an upset or two. I’ll probably be rooting for these teams but the one team I would like to see win this edition would be Spain.
