Ole, ole ole ole, ole ole~
Oh yeah, you guessed it! Its the 2010 FIFA World Cup! Kicking off tonight will be hosts South Africa versus Mexico! Actually I’m not really that much into it as I am into Wimbledon, which is coming up soon as well. But it is still nice to get into the hype of a prestigious event once ever 4 years!
However, the spoils of the sport are still seen even in the World Cup! Not too long ago, 15 fans were injured in a crowd rush in a warm-up match between Nigeria and North Korea.
Other news like this have also surfaced. What is wrong with you fans? Believe or not, people are going to die during this World Cup, fans and bystanders alike. And its not only this year’s World Cup that’s been like that for sure.
Senseless rioting in the streets is really a common occurrence during this period. Just because your country lost doesn’t mean you can go rioting in the streets. Just because you lost a bet voting for England(often happens, heh) doesn’t mean you can throw cocktail bombs and pillage houses!
Really! Go crazy for the World Cup, but please stay mentally sane!
Anyway, I’ll still be supporting England. Really senseless choice right? But, there’s a saying that whatever football club, or in this case, country, you support as a child will stick with you for the rest of your life. Its just innate human nature!
This is all the Beauty and Distortion of the sport.
