I luuuuuuv World Cup Football!

I’m totally nervous about this part of the world cup because it means 1. the possibility of one of my favourite team being knocked out 2. The world cup is coming to an end 3. It might be the last time I see some of the really good players (eg. Zidane). Today’s match will be particularly nerve wracking since one of my favourite team is playing - Go Argentina. I have been an Argentina fan since I first became interested in football at the World Cup Level (6th form days) and Maradonna was the hottest player around. I remember bawling along with him in 1990 when Argentina lost to West Germany. So today my prayers are with the Argentina team.

Tomorrow it’s Brazil and France, another edge-of-your-seat, nail-biting match. Brazil is another team that I (along with the rest of Jamaica and the world) love. Oh, that Ronaldino, hair flashing behind him as he chases the ball. sigh. Ok, I know at this point you’re probably thinking that it’s not about football, but dam, just because I’m watching the beautiful game, doesn’t mean I’m blind to everything else. And I’m a girl er woman afterall But I digress, my choice for finalists are Argentina and Brazil. And you know that would be a humdinger of a match. Damn, I’m salivating just thinking about it. So no, I really want the games to go on but I don’t want it to end.

Anyway, I don’t expect my boys to let me down today (Goooooo Argentiiiiiiiiinaaaaaa!!!) but I’ll be one nervous wreck today.
