Unto the soccer scene

Here's a change. I'm gonna write a bit about soccer (ah, don't worry, it's not gonna be a soccer blog or a soccer fan's blog, heheheh). So what about soccer? Is it a beautiful game? Or is it just 20 adults chasing a ball all over the pitch?

I was never a soccer fan from young. My 1st glimpse of it was in 1990, when I had a wager with my uncle on which team would win the World Cup. I picked Argentina, which surprisingly reached the finals. Hmm, winning the bet would have gotten me a Transformers toy though, heheh.

I never played soccer while young too. I had lofty ambitions of being a national badminton player then (ah, and if it came true, I would be Wong Choon Han's teammate by now). It was all okay until my best friend then trashed me in straight games. Oh yea, she played for the district though. (Ah, met her recently too. And the only thing I could say was 'Wowwwwww', with a dropping jaw. Haha, no saliva though)

So, what about the soccer scene? No, it's not your Malaysian Soccer League I'm talking about (ah, you can get try to pay me, but I still won't watch, hehe) but EPL, the best supported league worldwide.

I'm a Liverpool/Tottenham fan. Been a Tottenham fan ever since I saw Gascoigne play (erm, Gascoigne looked like a clown then. But then he still looks like a clown now. Hmm, guess that's what caught my attention though) Liverpool came recently though.

And yeah, if you ask me, I don't support any of the big 3 teams (Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea). Partially cause their managers have egos as big as the latest Toyota Mpv out there, the Altezza. Another thing is well, everybody else supports them, so why follow? Heheh

Why do most guys like soccer? Well, I guess though it's a dumb game, it's still beautiful. No two games are alike. And yea, instead of drama, we guys prefer something else we can relate too (like gals and their dailly chinese/korean drama, or perhaps Friends too, heheh)

And how about you? Soccer my friend? We can always have soccer over a cuppa coffee.

God Bless~!
