Well, this is probably the first time I'm blogging about something even remotely related to soccer, so hooray! It's a momentous moment.
Was out watching the final between France and Italy with buddies Nolan, Eugene, Ervin, and a long missing Kuan Sian on sunday, one of those im-damn-stupid-for-staying-up-cause-im-already-exhausted-and-have-work-tomorrow things, but who could resist being part of the 1.4 billion people watching it at the same time? A truly epic event indeed.
Anyway, I'm ashamed to say I know nuts about soccer cause i dont have cable and im too lazy to wake up at night to follow it anyway. However, I was supporting France because 1)I at least know a little something about Zidane and Henry to respect their playing, and 2) The New Paper reported that 7 out of 8 fengshui masters polled (and not "poled" as Nolan thinks) say France was going to win, so I wanted to see if fengshui would prevail against the experts, who were all gunning for Italy.
Well of course, we all know what happened. Zidane headbutted Materazzi, got sent off, Trezeguet missed a penalty and Italy went on to win the World Cup. I was actually amazingly disappointed. Its such a bitch when an obviously more deserving team loses, plus my heart goes out to Zidane, whose retirement game had to be mauled by such an event.
I dont know what Materazzi said to Zidane, but unless its "I'll give you 20 million Euros to headbutt me on my chest right now", there's no reason why he should have done that. Dammit man.
Still, its a beautiful game. I might just become a fan after all.
