world cup and after

Football is getting everywhere these days .World cup has aroused the football spirit in everybody .Every body has a country to support to be more precise everybody NEEDS to support a team regardless of the fact whether they have any idea about what or whom they support . Its weird ,i mean this made me realize how much we wish to relate with something...as if having no favorites is like having no religion,you are somewhat of a refugee ... it is deemed sacrilegious.....you ought to be supporting one side or another...perhaps a passing fad but true, such are norms of society and peers that if you don't know about the world cup or have a team to support then you are nobody .That propels you to give in to the peer pressure coz deep inside we all want to be with people rather than living in isolation and we care about what people think about us.
Its a big time glory hunting thing ..i.e. the world cup...people change allegiance like a fair weather friend ...
Soon the world cup will be over and so will the hysteria related with it .I am so sick of all the things - people predicting their winners ,bloody octopuses predicting the winners ,parrots predicting the winners . Its all over the TV ,newspapers and social networking sites too....its really pisses me off,people updating their status after every goal ,every card ,every throw-in .And in the newspaper when u feel like reading a good article about footie u encounter mandira bedi trying to shove her footballing gyan ,which basically comprises of WAGS,English players and what the English media says about the footie .Thanx MS. bedi for your insights.
Another thing i don't know why but people call FIFA world cup as FIFA????....every where i go they are like 'are u following FIFA?' ...why the heck is cricket world cup not called ICC?????...that's beyond me..
some days back i watched this movie udaan...to explain it in one word it was RADICAL...i mean the whole thing of a ruptured family,bad parenting,rebel child and his dreams to fly high was good but it seemed a bit unrealistic though totally entertaining ...and i don't mind passing my time watching a movie like this ...
P.S.
At the end , world cup finals never matched the hype and was a depressing ,cagey ,boring and least expected finals of all. The only good thing was shakira shaking her booty....totally worth it...
This was supposed to be my 25th blog...silver jubilee kinda thing but never mind..and yeah i just read that people can be sued for what they write on blogger..where the phuck can we speak?? oh...sorrry for these defamatory words..think i must clean my act..
