Another football-filled post is coming your way. Pretty unvoidable because we watched the World Cup Qualifiers between Singapore and Saudi today. Ok, we’ve been going for all the Lions matches as of late (this year), but I beg to differ from those who think they’re underperforming or ‘wasted their money’ on tickets. Why the hell even bother to turn up in the first place, then? You should just stay at home and rot next to your Maggi pot. STFU if you don’t even know our starting line-up. Quite honestly though, it isn’t all about winning in football.

Saudi played against the likes of Brazil and Germany at the World Cup, got thrashed 8-0 and 11-0 respectively and we merely lost by a two goal margin to them. What’s the big deal? That’s bloody good for us! Although it looked like complete a mess on the field, how our defenders were all over the place trying to pull off a “total defence/attack ala Dutch army” scenario and how our strikers were firing total blanks (hello old men like Duric, it’s time for tea and biscuits). We expected total humiliation. But losing out like that wasn’t so bad after all. All we need to do now is to play more teams like these so we can work on our weaknesses. At the mo, it’s the striker support which we’re not getting much of and our defense… which has been a problem of course.

There was some eye-candy at the game as well and it all got a little exciting I must add, although it’s impossible for me to actually look presentable at a football game. Either hurling vulgarities or screaming my fucking head off.. which really counts as a no/no. But who cares. It’s all for football. Which comes first. All the time.

My fascination with Spain has resurfaced again ala 2002. Goodness, those Raul and Morientes days! Resa is making LOL again with her exciting post-match commentary and she’s currently arguing AT FULL FORCE with a Swedish fan. Euro is making everyone go absolutely insane. The Swedes were totally going for legs out on the field today. Elmander went for Villa’s legs in penalty box, Cesc was man-marked like there was no tomorrow and Ramos made some tricky decisions. He tried to help the defensive midfielders but had to drop back when he was needed and didn’t necessarily execute all this smoothly. But VILAAAAAA’s goal in extra time…absolutely genius!!!

All this talk of football has reminded me that the to-do list is going mad! An impending sports TV script, new corporate site to work on, articles to craft and our RecycloFashion show to plan for and execute…. GAH. I put football before all these. Honestly though, watching football takes away all the pain, heartache and problems in life even if it’s just for 90 minutes. It’s the best therapy in the world, by far.

I sign off with a picture of a fit who may have betrayed Atletico to join the lamest league in the world, but will always be Espana’s boy. Mi encanta Torres! HAIR TWINS FOREVZ.

YES PLZ.
