The beautiful game

Hey Mausam are you one of those following the world cup? This is the biggest sporting event for most of the people in the world and I am one of those. I had thought about watching this edition of world cup in detail but alas the job search has been bothering me way too much for me to concentrate on watching the proceedings in Germany.
Last year around september I had asked Mandy(he was/is in germany) to arrange for the world cup tickets and he told me then that the tickets are sold out already! Hey Mausam in case you are not a football buff you just have to watch a couple of world cup matches to become one.
The likes of Ronaldinho's, Shevchenko's weave magic. Every world cup throws up a bunch of unknows into super stardom. Who knew Stoitchkov or Romario before the 1994 world cup, Ronaldo and Zidane were household names by the time 1998 world cup ended and Ronaldinho was the hero of the last world cup just by kicking that amazing free-kick against England.
And my bets are that Robinho and Ricardinho will be the brazilian stars who will shine this time around. I sincerely hope Italy and Spain do much better than what they been doing, and Portugal as in every world cup remain the dark horse.
And for Sandeep's sake, I hope Argentina does well too, as he will be rooting for Argentina even in a Australia-Japan match. I can hear Sandeep shouting from phagwara "Go Argentina Go!"
Hey Mausam you know Guptz and Amit bought a new television set just to watch the world cup.I envy them so much.
I wish I get some job, real quick so that I too can watch some television, coz I am sure this world cup will be full of all the thrills and excitment that this beautiful game is associated with.

Visiting some world cup village and cheering the teams is one of my dreams, I hope to be part of it, 4 years from now.Amen
Regards,
Ajj Kaim
