The World Cup is over, all the excitement dropped, everybody got back to their daily boring lives and we’re stuck in here with a little bit of a nostalgia. But let’s look back and see why we should actually be happy it took place and … why not… that it ended too!
We adored:
Because nothing compared to all those hot passionate chicks that were yelling out loud the name of their favorite team! We had beer, soccer, enthusiasm all over the place and boobs. What else can a man ask for? Really now!
We … didn’t really appreciate:
Joachim Löw decided to show us a more personal side than we would have even wanted to see. Everybody watching the game saw the German coach having a tiny snack straight from his nose. Not really elegant – or even polite – if you ask me, but it really wasn’t my call I guess…
We didn’t mind at all:
Well, his team did win the World Cup and the chick is really hot, so I don’t see any problem in all this. It’s all like a kind of a double prize and I honestly doubt the fact that anybody else would have reacted in any other way.
We hate:
Soccer Diving!
Because making a mockery of the World Cup has never been an international sport quite like this year. I’ve only got this to say to all those great soccer players with cheap acting skills: you’re hilarious, go home! You’re ruining the spirit of the game and any glimpse of fair play soccer has ever had. Pathetic!
We definitely enjoyed:
Those Great Goals
Who can forget Landon Donovan’s game-winner goal against Algeria. Or Diego Forlan’s rocket in the semifinals? The World Cup this year was full of spectacular goals. Here’s a short compilation of the best goals scored at the tournament.
We didn’t really understand:
And this goes in the same category with the acting skills needed to perform those deplorable fake fouls: is fair play really dead? At a certain point I stopped hearing the vuvuzelas, and this song kept playing in my head: Everybody was kung-fu fighting…Really now, am I watching The World Cup, or is somebody shooting Karate Kid again?
They’re here to stay!
Lots of things changed – for the better – in South Africa due to The World Cup. There were doubts over it’s ability to organize this event, but things went better than expected. Aside the buildings or new train lines, South Africa’s international image has received a huge boost. And let’s not forget about the 10 stadiums – some of them brand new, some just renovated – that costed over $1,5bn. Way to go, Africa! Thumbs up!
We felt them too:
The crocodile tears
It was either the fact that your team lost or that your favorite player was injured, you too have felt it: that heartbreaking moment when you wanted to be given another chance and you endlessly stared at the referee hoping he’d change his mind about that penalty shot. Or when you really just completely denied the fact that that’s it and we’ll do better next time. Yea. We all felt that too – except the Spanish guys.
Never again will we wanna hear about:
The million bees humming in your head even after you switched off the TV, the most annoying flock of geese you ever had in your living room while watching the World Cup…GOD! Enough! Don’t know about you guys, but as far as I’m concerned, I never wanna experience such a musicality ever again. Seriously now South Africa, throw away the vuvuzelas and get some drums or cow bells. Or just sing. Anything but that annoying sound, please!
We still don’t know what to think about:
A strange miracle or just a weird coincidence? We’re not yet convinced about Paul, the newly world famous octopus for correctly predicting the winner of Germany’s seven matches at the 2010 World Cup, as well as the final. Since the animals in his species are color blind, we think he might have distinguished shapes on flags or color brightness. Or – using those sensitive tentacles – he might have made his choices based on which box tasted better. Or maybe Santa Clause helped him out. We’re not quite sure yet…
2014, here we come!
