And thus...
...ends the greatest football event in the world, drawing close with the triumph of Italia and the downfall of the 'great' Zinadine Zidane.
FFF = Fuckingly Foolish Frenchmen. and with a Chicken to boost.
People has said that the year of the dog belongs to the Brazilians and Italians. For the past 48 years, Italy has always won every 12 years. So will they win in 1980??
GO ITALIA!!!
No great plays, but plenty of luck and guts got those Italians through and of course, the French has only been relying on luck throughout this tourney, but guess it all ran out with Zizou being red-carded. Bwahaha. Idiot.
But looking back, the last one month has been a very interesting one. Late nights of cheering and crying and booing and cursing, with mahjong as side dish. Cash flowing back and forth with nerves and blood on the line. And the special bond with friends, we win together, lose together.
And now, life is back to its old boring norms.
Four years from now, in South Africa, we will watch it again, the greatest game on Earth. But where would we be four years from now?
- I would be 1st year Medical Officer (hopefully in Aussie).
- I could be on-call 24hours.
- I will be slaving away. Bla...
Where got time for World Cup???
But then again, there is 8 years ahead.
- I would be a specialist
- I would be working for my FRCS
- I would have a blardy family.
- I would have lost interest in football... NAH!!!!
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass,
leaving memories that become legend.
Legend fades to myth,
and even myth is long forgotten
when the Age that gave it birth comes again.
- Robert Jordan, Wheel of Time.
(I know it's not from a game, but it suited the ambience.)
