"Life is rhythm, football is rhythm and I feel the rhythm when I am in South Africa." - Sepp Batller
"We at FIFA are working very hard in South Africa with South Africa to ensure that the World Cup will happen in South Africa."- Jerome Valke

Wow. Have you ever heard someone said the word "South Africa" 3 times in a sentence?

Yes, it's been 4 years already since the last FIFA World Cup held in Germany back in 2006. When Italia won and France became the runner-up. This time, it's Africa! South Africa to be precise.


( love this video, colourful and full of energy, the song's catchy too =) and there's the beautiful Shakira )
In about 13 hours from this post, TV stations (ie. Astro) all over the world will be broadcasting the game live! It's the time when football (soccer NOT rugby) fans go crazy, cheering for their chosen country, buying the football jersey to support the country and of course, sacrifice their sleeping time for the sake of the game. People waited every four years for this event, just like the Olympics. Only that this event is focusing on one sport. FOOTBALL.

To tell you readers the truth, i haven't figure out which country to support. Since so many of the top players was injured during the warm-ups before the real day. It's not looking too good for some of the counties since their key players were one of the injured players.

Maybe i would choose France since during their warm-ups they have doing a good job, and maybe there's hope for England or maybe Italia would win for another year...maybe Brazil will add another star to their jersey. I simply can't choose, i'll just support any country along the way then =)

Tata now, don't be missing the game =D
