What brought me here back is the ongoing FIFA fever all over the globe.Well,basically I am not a Football maniac so kindly excuse my ignorance if any.If cricket is a religion in India then Football is life to millions of fans across the world.This time I vow not to miss any of the games because even I want to get a taste of the wine.My heart says that I am with Spain also called 'The Red Fury'.The red jersey is quite appealing much like the red tomatoes. Players like Cesc Fabregas,Xavi & Fernando Torres is the reason I'm with them.The super goalkeeper Iker Casillas is one to be watched out for.Spain may not be the favorites but we cannot predict what will happen in the end.Spain has a strong side and with the Euro 2008 title they are definitely among the hopefuls.
This test-of-the-balls will test which players tricks will lead to their football immortality.The winning team celebrating with the world cup will certainly be a feast for the eyes but supporting your team against all odds is what we will do.Though Messi isn't physically impressive,the Maradona-Messi magic can turn the tables around at any time.And who can forget Cristiano Ronaldo and his dazzling control over the ball.He was on the top only to be replaced by Messi.He earns not only from the sport but also endorsements.Will his entire lifetime be enough to spend the money?Don't think so.Will be missing David Beckham because of the injury.
I don't want to write more because this is my first-time fever and hope many other amateurs will also join this great month-long magic.Hoping for a great holiday ahead..
