World Cup

It's all over the world! The fever is definitely on.  World Cup that is.  I wonder how many world cups are there.  I thought it would have been finished with all other sports having their own world cups.  

Kidding aside, people here in Dubai are all going gaga over the world cup. Fifa 2010.  Even my officemates are wearing their team's colors to support their country.  The Filipinos on the other hand, kiber!  

Only a handful of us really are into this sport.  Maybe some of those guys (and girls) who were exposed to the sport early on.  But seriously, Filipinos don't play soccer or football like the way they play basketball.  I remember having a soccer game for Intramural meet in college and most players in our division (engineering) were those who came from the province.  Apparently it's some kind of an "in" sport there.


One of my uncles also play Soccer.  I can remember him having a ball and the funny looking spike shoes. 


Last weekend I tried watching the world cup, thank you to free streaming sites, it was actually fun.  If only I'd understand the rules. Good luck to the teams!
