Add me to the casualty list !!!
Yes, I've been smitten and smitten hard. I'm truly going down with the sickness, the Soccer Sickness (SS). It's getting increasingly tough to concentrate on anything right now. As ESPNStar say 'Life is in an 8 inch diameter now'. Blame it on publicity, blame it on the beautiful game itself or blame it on the players and the hype surrounding them, it still has to be accepted, that football is the single largest thing that binds the world, that cuts across barries, bridging gaps, refuelling lost causes and evoking charm.
It's less than 24 hours and it's probably gonna be the most testing for me in terms of holding back my excitement. Brazil, england, spain, france, portugal, argentina, italy, netherlands, czech, sweden...woaaah..they're all in there. Personally, I'm rooting for the English...Booooooo, all you Brazilian fans might be saying, but huh, What if they are the most flamboyant afterall !! All of you would still agree, that if there's anyone whose gonna come the closest in challenging them, its gotta be England..
So let's pray and hope for 31 injury free days, filled up drama, excitement, joy, sorrow (for 31 teams), hope & immortality. Let's also hope that amidst all the noise, the referres dont snatch all the limelight, cuz in most cases, when they do so, its for the wrong reasons !!!
Cheers to a memorable world cup at Germany 06. Happy Watching....
JOGA BONITO !!!!

Hi Aparna,
Love for sporting teams is somewhat like faith. If you have it, you don't need a reason and if you don't - no amount of reasoning will convince you.
But I am with you regarding which world cup is England hoping to win ? Not this one surely! :-) Kill the pommy bastards@!!
And Playboy, about EPL being the best league in the world - you maybe right. But all sports fans have to sit through and preferably follow an entire season of NFL in the US before we make up our minds about how good sporting leagues can be . No country has managed to market its sport better than the US has. Growing up in the US as a sports fan is probably my idea of a dream next life!
