World Cup dillemas

Look, this is Arsenal's new jersey for season 2006/2007. As the new stadium is being sponsored by Fly Emirates so I guess Arsenal will be using this jersey for some time. It is kinda ironic as i dislikes Chelsea who bears Fly Emirates on their jersey before Samsung took over. Oh well, money matters the most in the football world this days. I still prefer the o2 jersey more than this Fly Emirates jersey. But if you want to compare with Manchester United, I believe Arsenal's jersey looks alot alot better than MU's. With the big big "AIG" hanging on their chest, it looks very weird as it seems they had their chest insured by AIG.

1 month ago, the World Cup started and everybody was exited because the World Cup is only happening once every 4 years. This time, I believe everybody had fun watching 20 fellas chasing over a ball and 2 more waiting to catch the ball. It is quite boring this time around as there are only European countries involved in the Final and third placing match. No more samba style football in the final anymore. And i am in the dillema as I supported Italy ever since I knew about football but I like Thierry Henry as he is from Arsenal. It is hard to choose who I wanted to win. But as for third place, i support Germany this time because i believe they worked hard to earn a place meanwhile Portugal played some rough game which I dont really like as football is suppose to be healthy and not to injure anyone during the process. I pity those refs as they have to cope with harsh temperature and also harsh players.

Most of the matches ended up in penalty shoot outs and the process is really boring. I actually fall asleep while watching England plays with Portugal. England really sucked at penalty shooting while Portugal is good at saving penalties. However, I am actually looking forward to the next World Cup in South Africa in four years time. Hopefully it wont be as boring as the present World Cup.
