FIFA World Cup 2010

With a great enthusiasm and expectation, I started watching the matches of Czars: the teams those dominated the world of football. It has been a history that Europeans and Latins run down teams of African and Asian Nations. Apparently, the game of Football is adored like God in these peoples and its passion runs through the veins of their. Before the ball of the first match kicked in, I fancied that teams such as Spain, Brazil, Argentina, England, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, France, Portugal would delight every spectator across the globe, unknowing the fact that some of these teams have not met any expectations whatsoever and surprised the world with shockers

Latins have exhilarated the Football lovers with their performance especially Brazil and Argentina which seem to be as strong as their history and the never die spirit of them perplexed the opponents. Their goal targets are in precision and as usual, they don't pass the ball but they caress it to the fellows to make the opponents search for it through the gaps. Whereas, Europeans have made the mockery of their brand image and performed as novice.

Germans, French, English, Spanish and Italians have tarnished their reputation with their own hands and their regular playing participation of EPL and UEFA Champions League have not benefited them for such a prestigious and grand event of world cup 2010. Their defense has been battered by the new comers and their inability to score the goal has put all most of every team of the Europe on the brink of disqualifying for next stage except now God's miracle and the poor performance of others can salvage their reputation. This is how these teams have played.

This poor performance of biggies can be, precisely, equated with Indian Cricket Experience of IPL. All our Indian Players shine like a star and collapse when they have to play on the soil of New Zealand and West Indies where they are unable to maneuver the ball on the bouncy track. And these days, the playing with the Clubs has been prioritized by players as that satisfies and fills their pockets. Over commercialization of the games jeopardies the performance of the players when they play for the nation. Another fact of this failure can be related to the clashing of egos of the big players when they play together and dependency on each other's performance lead to the disastrous results.

I wish that the European Teams may regain their performance in the nick of time or the Latins sound to be the favorite for the coronation of world cup 2010.

The best part of this world cup is that you happen to watch the blonde beauty: Shakira

So Waka Waka

  1. The French have been freaky. The Italians are hell bent on proving that their last world cup victory in 2006 was a bloody fluke. Spain reached an all time low after messing up royally against Switzerland, however they did redeem themselves against Honduras, now we would have to see what they can pull off against Chile who seems to be the team to give Torres, Ramos, Villa & Co. a run for their money.

  2. Truly said. I suppose that the game plan of Spanish against the minnow worked out very well but Chile will give them a hard time. The silver line of hope is that Spanish assessed their drawback and left very narrow gap between defenders and could penetrate the opponents' shield. Still, they need to work out with their crossing kicks because the ball flies over the head of strikers many a time and they have forgotten that their strikers are 5 feet 8 inches around!
