World Cup Soccer 2010

The much awaited event of the decade is now on our doors and in few days World Cup Soccer 2010 will be kicked off.. I will be trying as much as to be up to date with the results from my other blog  Redirect...

 My football fascination started when I was a lil kid.. yeah!! like every other sports I used to suck in that too.. but it was the best way to put my evening time.. may be because from class 2 ..I was playing with senior boys in each game.. coz I never understood what kids do with ball without any rules... though later I realized that may be the reason for distaste for every sport I played coz I sucked with seniors... hahhaha but now I can't amend..everything is done..but then there was a football quiz in a five star hotel when I was in class VIII.. and then I came to know what fascination it brings to every fan who follows their country wherever they play...be it Cold Russia or be in hot Nigeria.... Then the age of computer came and I started playing FIFA football and came to know that I don't suck in planing the games and playing in simulation.. :D .. I played all the FIFA game series by EA sports and I am champion in all those in world class difficulty....lol

There are few facts that you should know about World Cup Soccer 2010...

2) The world cup is being organized every 4 years since 1930 except '42 and '46 due to the world war..

3) The Trophy was initially called Victory which later changed its name to Jules Rimet Trophy from 1930 to 1970 which Brazil took home as of 3 wins.It was made of gold plated sterling silver and lapis lazuli and depicted Nike, the Greek goddess of victory.In 1983 the cup was stolen and never recovered...

5) This year's official Anthem is K'naan Wavin Flag... and it is a beautiful song and so inspiring that I had goosebumps listening to it.. The singer is from Somalia.. and he was a child soldier and who rose up from all atrocities to be a successful Afro Rap singer and I literally love the lyrics ..it depicts what the 80% of world population faces... and truly he made me his fan.. and of course the video is tempting
