My colleagues are egging me on to choose the winning team for World Cup and I haven’t got a clue. Officially not a football fan and can’t understand what’s the fuss about 20 guys chasing a ball.
The only football stars I know of are Christiano Ronaldo and David Beckham. With David looking this good, no female can claim to not know who David Beckham is.
As my colleagues are very persistent, I have to rely on my limited football knowledge of Ronaldo. Read that he has his own museum and is not as humble as Messi. Also he has been appearing a lot on TV, for KFC ads and a non-dandruff shampoo commercial. Can’t recall the name of the shampoo.
Decided on Portugal as the winning team as they have the best footballer i.e. Ronaldo.

What ?? My favourite Friday TV programme shelved because of World Cup !!
What am I suppose to watch on Friday nights ?? For the next four weeks !!
Sat 14 June 2014
Hmm… I guess I will just have to watch Netherlands vs. Spain because… there’s nothing else to watch on TV.
Whoa.. what an amazing goal from Van Persie (just learnt his name). Ohh.. he’s good-looking too. Suddenly football just became more interesting. Can’t understand why the crowd is booing whenever Spain guy has the ball and he’s close to the goal.
Sun 15 June 2014
Did some serious research about “World Cup Hotties”. It all started when I read up on some World Cup news and saw that one of the articles was about the football players that one should watched out for. The article started with …
We don't know much about soccer (or sports for that matter), but we do know who the hot players are!
This is just my cup of tea… so I continued reading the article and browsed the photo gallery.
I’m starting to think that this football thing can’t be too bad when there are so many good-looking hunks to look at. With their fabulous abs. Why didn’t I know about this earlier ??
Langerak (Australia)
Karnezis (Greece)
Brilliante (Australia)
Torres (Spain)
Mon 16 June 2014
Argentina vs Bosnia Herzegovina, with Messi being the star of the match. He looks much better with his shorter hair cut.
Tue 17 June 2014
Germany vs Portugal. Luck was not with Ronaldo, with Pepe been given the green card and another player injured. The Germans meant business whereas the Portugese did not seem to be giving their all.
Watching Marvel Agents of Shields too. Very interesting episode where Ward and tech agent was sent into a mission with no extraction plan. And they didn’t know about the no extraction plan part.
Wed 18 June 2014
Brazil vs Crotia, which was the opening match. Guess this was chosen for the repeat telecast at 10 AM because the 0-0 result from Brazil vs Mexico did not have any goal-worthy moment.
The star of the match was Neymar, with the hope of the entire nation resting on his shoulders. And there is guy called Hulk. His physique matches his name.
Thur 19 June 2014
Netherlands vs Australia 3-2. Spirited effort from the Australian team with two goals from Tim Cahill. Magnificent effort from Van Persie, Robben and Depay. These two teams were playing to win and it showed. A satisfying match with both teams putting their hearts and souls into it.
Cahill (Australia)
Fri 20 June 2014
Uruguay vs England 2-1. Suarez and his beautiful goals. I wouldn’t fault Team England for not trying, with Rooney scoring his first World Cup goal. Unfortunately Suarez was just better.
Sat 21 June 2014
Switzerland vs France 2-5. The big news was Italy vs Costa Rica 0-1 meaning Italy is probably not going to make it for the last 16.
Sun 22 June 2014
Germany vs Ghana 2-2 so didn’t get to watch Messi in action for Argentina vs Iran 1-0.
Mon 23 June 2014
What ?! They are not showing the Portugal vs USA 2-2 match ??
I’ll just have to look at photos of Ronaldo instead of watching him in action…
It was Korea vs Algeria 2-3. No good-looking guys to get excited about…
Tues 24 June 2014
Was hoping to watch the Spain vs Australia 3-0 or Netherlands vs Chile 2-0 match but had to settle for the repeat telecast of Brazil vs Cameroon 4-1. Watched parts of it with Neymar being the star of the match, and watching Marvel Agents of SHIELD most of the time.
Wed 25 June 2014
Big news on Suarez having another meal, this time biting the neck of a Chile player.
Greece vs Ivory Coast 2-1. Watched parts of the game and saw the goal scoring moments for Greece. The second goal was questionable as Samares was awarded a free kick even though it was not the IV player’s fault that he fell.
Mon 30 June 2014
Suarez finally admitted he did intentionally bite the other player. Which is what everyone has known since the biting incident took place.
Sat 5 July 2014
Saddest day in World Cup 2014. Neymar is injured due to Colombian knee to his back.
Message from Neymar to his fans (which includes me):
Brazilian people, players, staff, fans. This is a hard moment, and I don't have the words to define what's going through my head and my heart.
I just want to be back as fast as possible, when everyone least expects. I want to say thank you for the support, the love that everyone has shown for me, for all the messages.
I'd like to tell you all that my dream is not over. It was interrupted, but it goes on. My dream is to be champion.
My dream was also to play in a World Cup final. But it won't happen this time. I'm sure that they [Brazil] will win and be champions. And I'll be there, with them.
And us, Brazilians, will all be celebrating this.
With this inspirational message, I changed the wallpaper for my laptop to Neymar’s photo.
Sun 6 July 2014
Netherlands is in the final 4.
Fifa will investigate the incident that causes Neymar to be injured. We (Neymar’s fans) demand for justice !
Mon 7 July 2014
What ??!! The Columbian player gets off scot-free ??
What justice is this ? Does Neymar need to be paralysed for a more severe punishment to be meted by Fifa? What was the point of challenging him from behind and kicking him from the back when there was no way you could have retrieved the ball ??
Tues 8 July 2014
Will not dwell on the Brazil vs Germany 1-7 defeat.
Sat 12 July 2014
Likewise for the Brazil vs Netherlands 0-3 match. News report mentioned that Netherlands showed compassion and did not go for the jugular.
Mon 14 July 2014
Controversy abrews. Some thinks that Lionel Messi doesn’t deserve the Player of the Tournament award. Poor guy. Not only was he heart-broken that he didn’t win the World Cup, there are some who don’t think he deserves the next best award.
Can’t believe World Cup 2014 is over. Good news is that Neymar will recover. Bad news is that I have to wait another 4 years for the next World Cup...
