The World is painted Red, Blue and Gold today. No, not because God suddenly became colour blind, but because of THAT match last night. No, not that Airtricity League match between Shamrock Rovers against Dundalk (though Shamrock won 4 - 0), but THAT match, between Spain and Holland. Tiki-taka vs total football.
Prior to that World Cup final, I had been going around trying to arouse World Cup small-talk by mindlessly asking "Spain or Holland?", and whenever I heard the latter, I would reply by "Holland are a two man team."
Pretty true. All they've got are Wesley Sneijder and Arjen (it's pronounced Arhen btw) Robben. Dirk Kuyt, Robin van Persie, John Heitinga (?) my foot.
Anyways, I was predicting a Spanish victory and yeah, I'm happy that I got one. To be honest, I can't understand why anyone in the right mind would support Holland.
I think I'm one of the few who actually did NOT watch the match last night, and I'm happy I didn't. I heard it was quite the stinker, like Emaths class + News 5 tonite all rolled into one.
And Spanish goalkeeper cum captain Iker Casillas' TV kiss with his girlfriend was sure to break quite a few tiny hearts out there who had been watching the World Cup just for the faces. I'm sorry ladies, football is about your feet and not your fantastic hairstyle/perfect eyebrows.
Well, congrats to Espanyol, my condolences to Oranje and boo to that boring match (which I was lucky enough to miss :D). Come to think of it, maybe that Shamrock v Dundalk had been much more exciting...
It would be a whole different timing to the next World Cup though, which would be staged in Brazil. The final match of the 2014 installation of the 'Greatest Show on Earth' would be maybe 9am for us here in Singapore.
Advice of the day: If you want to be happy, all you need to do is win the World Cup. That's all. Life isn't so hard is it?
