the beautiful game

hostilities shall cease, weapons shall be laid down
armistices have been signed, the games are in town
for the next one month, we will only talk football
the energy the passion, a time to stand up tall

the beautiful game is on its biggest stage
goals, tactics, saves will be all the rage
minnows will rise and heroes will be slain
yeah baby the World Cup is here again!


so you read that right.. four years of waiting are over and the World Cup has rolled around again. for americans, imagine super bowl meeting independence day for a whole month! for the rest of the world, i need not say any more about how huge this is! needless to say i am absolutely over the moon with my night shift work schedule, as it allows me to watch all 64 games.. a streak i have been carrying since the '94 championships. the first game starts in about 19 hours from now,

forza italia and viva brasil!!

NB:
if you see the hit counter on the right sidebar, it's creeping
