World Cup/Mug/Bottle... You get what I mean.

How long has it been since I last posted? :D 2 months to be exact, but who's counting eh? :) So here I am to revive my blog!

What other topic can be as appropriate as the recent ending of the ever so (in)famous Fifa World Cup. Lets start off with some fun facts:

1. It is held in South Africa.

2. Its national weap... I mean musical instrument of choice is the VUVUZELA *Bzzz*.(:

3. Many many high profiled teams could not live up to expectations and crashed out early.

4. To the amazement of many critics, there were no major fights breaking out.

Okay, with those out of the way, let us get to the main highlight of all World Cups - the final. This year's final was played between Spain(Espanyol) and Holland(Netherlands). Let me make my stand clear first. - I support both teams. (Go Spain!)

Both teams had reasons for winning this year's World Cup.
It would be the first time that either team has won the World Cup. Even sweeter for Spain was that it won the Euro 08, and if it won the World Cup, it would only be the second country to accomplish the feat of winning the European Cup and World Cup together.

The match was to be held at 2.30am in Singapore, which meant that I would not be able to watch it. D: However, long story short I was able to. ;) So there I was, waking up at 2.30 to watch the match. One word - Boring. Okay maybe I should explain myself. There were a few chances created throughout the entire match, but the way they seemed to clamp each others attacking forces made the match somewhat... Dull. Halfway through I checked on my father.

He was asleep.

Anyways, the match seemed to be heading for the dreaded penalty shoot-out when all of a sudden, a moment of brilliance amongst three Spanish players unleashed Iniesta, who volleyed a shot from close range. The net was finally disturbed.

Ecstatic cheers of joy rang throughout the stadium, for a moment overwhelming the blare of the vuvuzelas. 6 minutes later and the champions were crowned. Spain, for the first time ever, joined the ranks of 7 other countries who had won the coveted title before. I regretted not watching the part after that, as i wanted to see Iker Casillas aka "The Saint", Spain's goalkeeper and captain lift the trophy.

I heard he cried.

But I guess I'll have to wait for another four years then. :)
