WORLD CUP

Sleep will be deprived.

Girlfriends, wife will felt neglected…children will realize that their usually calm dad turned into a swearing freak when the game goes against them!

But that the beauty of the Beautiful Game..a game played by millions across the globe.

That’s why I felt the irony of American game. The great past time, Baseball, BasketBall or the Grid Iron, American Football.

These games are played prominently in the USA, high schools have their own teams, university have their leagues, franchise holders have their draft pick to deal with.

I been to the states…so I know for a fact, they take their sports seriously. That’s fair enough. But the laughable fact was that they declared themselves as World Champion in games played only in their own backyard!

When the Red Sox won the baseball championships last year, they are the World Champion. When the Patriots won the Superbowl, again declared as the world champion. San Antonio Spurs won the NBA finals, world champion again….Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup, Micheal Andretti won the Indy 500, they are all regarded as the world best.

I can understand that since USA is a big country…the State of Michigan is bigger than Peninsular Malaysia, but World Champion? Hah!

The last time I checked; The gold medalist for basketball in the last Olympic is Argentina, Ice hockey is Russia or Norway, can’t remember, the recently finished World Baseball series was won by Japan, American football does not count because hell, only the American plays it!

Mario Andretti joined the F1, the fasted car racing in the world, he couldn’t cut the grade, now Scott Speed tries his luck…again no luck. In my opinion, they have the same syndrome like Malaysian Champions, jaguh kampong mentality.

This is the same in other industry as well, anything that Ford built is great, what Chevy create is a speedster, whatever Microsoft conjures up is par excellence, blatantly ignoring the fact that the others can provide the same or even better products!

Perhaps that’s why they can practically invade any country. Because they felt they know better, their interest is served best that way…no wonder you got Al-Qaeda fighting them, because if one evil twin can do it, why can’t they!
