G's satiristic attempt

Vive le World Cup?

G's inspired by P.J.O'Rourke to write those critical stuff..so here goes: Of course..G doesn't think that way. Dutchie pride tmr!

World Cup is always a reminiscence of Locarno honeymoon, where the whole world focuses on praying Rooney's leg injury (alternatively, you can use voodoo dolls); pointless fans running over to Brazil's embrace and chick-flicks where guys/girls try to pick someone up. (because there is a whole line of World Cup lingerie available?)

TV channels already had their head-to-head fights over World Cup subscription, so Machiaveillian that a World Cup packages costs about $600. Well,good news is that EVERY channel is broadcasting World Cup Finals, bad news is that during June, your wallet would be sliced by bars and restuarants for your TV access. Sure, they would gladly put a VIP status on your name, since your pour at least $1000 on food and drinks!

For those who doesn't understand the ritualistic art of football, this summer is inferno in reality. The kid who asked for defintion of a Red Card is still absolutely clueless, since everyone is capitulated by the football's movement in Germany vs Costa Rica yesterday. For those who hate the patched football, I heard a thousand **** because everywhere is monopolized with footie promotions (fancy a World Cup PC cover and football mohawk?); TV volumes will blast over 100 in the coming days, plus pointless shows where unexperienced celebs try to talk football. (The football gf's model show over World Cup lingerie seem much more interesting).

Let alone the worldwide Brazillian/England wave. The Brazillian government is definitely happy to make profits out of football, although Minas Gerais and Brasilia are still crowded with favelas and squatters. Oh, and don't forget the tickle-time bomb, Ronaldo's already 32 and is known as the overweight striker; Cafu is 36 and Rivaldo was already digging gold in Saudi Arabia.

Whilst the pointless generation cheers for Brazil, slightly experienced fans go for England - the reason -hotties and skills? Gosh, Sven is absolute nuts to spill secrets over a 'fake' Sheikh, and Owen have passed his peak. Oh,and Becks is famous for his Police and Meji ad, or throwing parties, since his role as 12-yard kicks has been replaced by Terry.

In conclusion, this is one of G's attempts in satiristic attacks. But..in reality, G is already too busy analyzing statistics and formation of squads (4-4-2 v 4-4-3?); rambling over footie tactics and making predictions.
Perhaps, it may just be better to live with such peaceful illusions.
