The soccer world cup has started and so did my late night stands with the TV. I can’t believe that most of my favorite players are actually watching the WC on the sidelines. Well if not most, at least 4 of them. The Dutch win have to carry the tag of my favorites but realistically speaking, other teams like Argentina and England look to be better equipped to go all the way. I hate admitting this, but I think Brazil really do have the class and the resources to lift their 6th title. I have been a perennial hater of Brazil and no amount of football from them can change this view of mine.
Well the first rounds of matches have been pretty exciting so far, with Holland winning both their matches so far. They face the Argentines today, who have done likewise. The match can be exciting but the fact that Robben, van Bommel et al are gonna be rested, dampens my enthusiasm for the match.
England drew Sweden yesterday and will now face Ecuador in the second round. Rooney’s first start of the WC must have rekindled the memories of ’66 for the English fans. The guy’s a phenomenon. I mean I watch him week after week for ManU and he fails to disappoint me. The guy can play.

The fact that Nistelrooy may be leaving ManU after the WC really breaks my heart. The guy is an incomparable striker. He is a goal poacher par excellence. I hope somebody kicks Sir Alex out and not Ruud. I was hoping that the Glazers would try to cut Alex to his size but they seem to be more interested in monetary matters than football. They really suck. I hope sir Alex compensates at least by getting someone like Torres or Van der Vaart

Man U need to buck up and the time is now. The world’s best are in Germany, and this is the time to spot and scoop talent from all corners of the globe. U know what I’m hoping for is that Roman Abrahamovic gets rid of Chelsea and Chelsea go to the gutters. The team sucks and they SUCK big time!
