World Cup 2010 : EEEEEEEE!
Jun. 12th, 2010 09:45 pmI am having a week of holidays starting last Friday (yes, I took them so that I can watch the World Cup on my new HD TV!) . So far I am loving it:
South Africa / Mexico : 1/1 I don't have any interest in either of those teams but I am glad the host team scored!!!!!
France / Uruguay : 0/0 I sat through the whole of it , but I don't know why. The championship has just began but we have already got the most boring game of the World Cup 2010.
South Korea / Greece : 2/0 I am so sad - I have missed this! We went ice-skating and by the time we got home it was over! South Korea is one of the teams I got for the "bonkers sweepstake" we are having at work. I am deeply rooting for South Korea!
Argentina / Nigeria : 1/0 So far, Argentina is the strongest and the most interesting team I have seen. Messi is rather cute and Maradona is incredibly hilarious . I am going to watch every game with Argentina from now on, his antics are incredibly amusing!!!!!
England / USA : 1/1 Whut! England hasn't won, but this has been the first time ever that I could safely say I liked our team. The arrogance they displayed in the last World Cup has completely gone! If they continue to play this way, I might end up cheering for them. Even Rooney 2010 is completely different from Rooney 2006, he is twice as slim and twice as fast!
One slightly tangential thing; before the match ITV showed what from the words of British commentators was an advert from one of the USA networks for the match.It was one of the most OTT patriotic things I have ever seen (with youth bands matching, ominous music and all such things). I wonder if they just made it up - I tried to find the advert on Youtube but couldn't. If any of you ladies and gentlemen from USA have seen the advert IRL - would you lead me to it?? Thank you!!!!!
The teams I got in The Bonkers Sweepstake are:
1. Netherlands
2. Serbia
3. South Korea
4. Ghana.
The rules are incredibly complicated. :D
