Cabin Fever

Well, the Barclays Premier League for the season 2009/2010 is over for some time now. This is the time where weekends get dull by the minute, and every second feels like a nightmare. Luckily this is 2010, the year of the 19th edition of the FIFA World Cup (whoohoo!) where the idiot box and gallons of coffee being your true companion.

I still remember my first memory of the World Cup, it was France 98 in which David Beckham curled in a stunning free kick past the Colombian keeper Mondragon at Stade Felix Bollaert. But the one memory that still etched in my head was the wonder goal from Michael Owen. It was the round of sixteen, against the Argies where he ran riot of the defense and smashed in a shot that was simply sensational. He was 18 at that time....18!!




This time, it is surely going to be exciting, not like 2006 which was a little negative in my view. There's plenty of favourites, and Group G is the one everyone is looking forward to. Africa's hope of winning the tournament for the first time lies in the Ivory Coast,going up against the flair of Portugal.the defensive style of Brazil (Brazil being defensive? They have more defensive midfielders than attacking ones)and the nuke kings of North Korea would make it an interesting affair. What the future holds for them is anyone's guess...

Nike has given that thought into the next level in their new 3 minute short film, Write The Future. Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, it is the best thing you'll see for the whole day... and the cameos from Kobe Bryant, Roger Federer and THE Homer Simpson (Ronal...D'OH!!) is just awesome.
