World Cup...*yawn*

It's worldcup season again and this time my goal is to NOT get myself banned from the t.v. room like last time. I watched the opening ceremony last night and that is the furthest I'm going with the football-mania. I know. First world cup to be held in Africa. I should be just as excited as the next African but I actually couldn't care less. I do want an African country to win-would be cool-but my watching will not influence the way they play. I just dont find football entertaining. I mean 22 guys running around after a ball, just to kick it into a net? Seriously? And there isn't even any violence allowed! One small push and all of a sudden you're getting a card (I know they have colours for those...but I dont know which ones) and being taken out of the game. Where's the drama? The action? The violence?! Whenever i start talking like this I get murderous looks and sometimes threats but i CANNOT pretend to like the game. I tried (hence the telly room ban). Its just not my thing. Give me rugby any day!

And by the way, I have several grievances to air about this 'African' world cup. Lets start with the official world cup song. Why oh WHY did they ask Shakira to sing the world cup song? WHY? I love shakira (hot,great dancer,great musician,blablabla...) but seriously we DO have our own musicians who Im pretty sure would have liked to be recognised internationally. Yeah yeah freshly ground featured but there's a version in SPANISH! WHY?! I personally prefer the K'naan song. And not that version with will.i.am n some weird latino dude.Ok so maybe I dont have several grievances...but if I'd just said one I may not have sounded half as interesting.

My other complaint is to my government. SILLY SILLY GOVERNMENT!!!! My country is like the only place planes stop before going to South Africa so you'd think we've made alot of money right now, right? WRONG! Due to poor planning we have not benefitted from what could've been an amazing deal for our economy. For God's sake we barely did any advertising! And a few weeks(or was it days?) to the world cup they close up the two major stadiums (or is it stadia?).SILLY SILLY GOVERMENT!!! Those stadiums(/stadia) could've been used by teams for practise! Damn it. Running this country to the ground. Idiots.

Oh well...let me just say this;its going to be a long month for me.
