I think I get enthusiastic about things quite easily and I like many different things all at once. I have been talking about Korean dramas quite extensively lately, but this is about to change! Because The World Cup is coming!!! Some of my LJ friends who know me longer than 4 years may remember that although I am not all that interested in football in general, I tend to become quite obsessed with the sport during World Cups and European Cups. And I am also a huge fan of Italian team. I used to be patriotic and support English team, but the World cup 2006 cured me of this; I have been never so disappointed in my entire life and have never cried so much about any sport event other than the loss by England in 2006 quarter-finals. Following the loss, I vowed to never support English team again. But there are so many other good ones!!!! I love Brazil, Argentina and Germany and Spain and Italy, and who knows? There might be some other not-so-well-known team that is awesome?
And of course, there will be Italy! I had a look at their recent matches, and worryingly they have some new rather ugly players (like Vincento Iaquinta), but I will not worry. At least, Gianluigi "Gigi" Buffon will be there!. My family seem to be quite inclined to support Italian team as well, and both Mr.Alexander and Little Sash have already acquired Italian jerseys. I am trying my hardest to find one for myself, but all in vain. It is an interesting phenomena that in the case of men's and children's t-shirts there seem to be three main options available here in Yorkshire: England, Brazil and Italy (I have never seen a German or Argentinian t-shirt in my life, but I guess they are old rivals?). In the case of ladies t-shirts the only option available is ENGLAND. This is a little odd: has there been some marketing research and they decided that the ladies of England are only interested in England? And that the ladies of England also prefer t-shirts with slogans like "tackle me" to normal non-obtrusive varieties?
In short: I want an Italian t-shirt. :D
Also, Mr.Alexander suggested today that we should probably buy a new BIGGER TV for the World Cup! Yes! I said!!! (And I have also booked a week of holidays during the World Cup time)
My favourite picture of Buffon, just to round up the good mood:
