I just surfed FIFAworldcup.com and the site clock on the top right-hand corner read 19 days 03 hours 57 mins 7 secs, with the first match of the World Cup Germany 2006 between host Germany and Costa Rica scheduled on the 9th of June at 6pm in Munich.
Someone at work asked me which team I was rooting for this year and I picked England (because its Myuzim's country of birth and also because I am a Permanent Resident of Brunei in touch with my colonial tendencies) and Brazil (because those Brazilian boys are born with balls between their legs).
In 2002, I was rooting for the same teams and subconsciously included Japan because No. 6 Nakata was so hot on the field. In fact I was also rooting for the husband and me... we had started going out in the middle of the world cup and played the dating game with one eye on the football games. Let me tell you, during the World Cup in 2002, I was a busy egg.
And this year, we plan to watch the world cup on a flat screen TV in the bedroom, from our bed. It gives me the shivers.
Let the games begin.
