Vuvuzelas falls silent !

At last the soccer fever has subsided. Spain has won the FIFA World cup. The final match was a dreary affair. It will be remembered most for the referee doling out cards like one supplies candy :-)

World Cup Soccer 2010 in South Africa will be more remembered for deafening vuvuzelas and the notorious Jabulani ball. As someone remarked ""Long after individual matches and goals are forgotten, this will be remembered as the Vuvuzela World Cup" . ""Thanks to the World Cup, the vuvuzela has the entered the shared language of the world and joined the ranks of words that need no translation".

Last but not the least, who can forget Paul the psychic octopus ? All the predictions of it came true eerily.

Battle of Red Versus Orange

At last FIFA World Cup Football final is just a day away. Hot favorites Spain has a golden chance of winning the world cup for the first time ever. Will the Dutch put spokes in its wheels ? Can Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben & co sink the Spanish Armada ? Will Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, David Villa see Spain through ? Let us wait and watch the battle of La Rojas ( The Red ones) as Spanish team is called versus the Oranjes.

Yet Another Soccer Feast

Today in World Cup Soccer, Spain takes on Germany. I expect it to be an absorbing tussle. Can Spain stop Mannschaft in its tracks ? German team impresses me a lot. So youthful and full of vigor. Let us wait with bated breath.
