Wow! Watta news it'd be if the title of this post turns true. Every Indian football fan is hoping for such a miracle. And football experts predict if India goes at this rate, it'd probably take a century for us to get into the World Cup finals. I guess that won't happen till I'm alive!

A month of football festival is finally over and Spain are crowned Champions.This World Cup is quite different from the previous editions as the Spanish have won the title with less count of goals, winning most of their matches with a 1-0 scoreline.We had some unexpected winners of the Golden stuff, the Golden boot was awarded to Thomas Mueller and the Golden Ball to Diego Forlan! Worthy indeed.

Well, this edition has a lotta lows. Here's a list from my perspective.

- Empty seats. This would be surely the first time a FIFA event failed to pull up mass.

- Upsets. France, Italy et al bowed out very early.

- England national team suck at Int'l events!

- Refereeing. Horrible!

Talking about the best, I can say. . 

- Camera work. Pure ultramotion replays. Stunning!

- Vuvuzelas! Man, they were noisy!! Pe pe pe pe. . 

- Football was delivered beautifully. Credits to Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Argentina


- The hosts. They've shown the world how it should be done!


Coming back to the post's title, we Indians really suck at soccer. This WC would have surely ignited some football in the kids' minds. Google says Indians rank 3rd in googling about football stuff. 
Idhellam sari dhan. . Vera onnum pudungiraadinga!!

Signing off frustratingly.

FIFA 06 Intro Commentary

"Game after game after game, I realise now what's the most important in my life: Football, Show me something more thrilling than a perfect volley; tell me you've never dreamed of the immaculate strike and that passionate moment when the whole nation holds it breath. Tell me that football is not our common language when the world stops for ninety minutes to be witness to that one special moment.

You could tell me I'm wrong: some may say it's just a game but this is about heroes and tribes, loyalties and devotion; it's our battle and our belief, our commitment and our passion; this is our fate. Now feel the fever of the crowd, hear the roar of the faithful.. You're Ronaldinho, you're Wayne Rooney, this is your moment "
