World Cup syndrome

It's getting to a month since World Cup was started in the mid of June, sooner it is coming to finale this weekend and i might have a good night rest again after spending precious times and energy watching it outside with friends in the middle of the night sometimes and at home as well. Although it is pretty tiring when watching it back to back continuously, especially when those big favorite teams matches were happened scheduled at same time frame...real jialat ! Sometimes i think whether it's worth chase-watching crazily for all the live matches. Surely the answer is NO, and i have been watching just only half of the 64 live matches, which is 32 matches so far... not too bad, still at the average level of watching rate i think.. :-)

There's too much of upset match results were happened in group stage round, especially  big favorite teams like France, Italy, England and Portugal were all failed to shine, got defeated and knocked out. With that, it was already enough to make them toke early flight home in shame. Perhaps it's even  made me like to see upset results, probably because i never gamble and didn't bet for any matches but just enjoy watching. Good that my supporting team - Argentina & Holland, were strong and steady in the beginning but somehow Argentina was terribly knocked by the Germans in quarter-finals recently. Now my hope is banking on Holland and hopefully they will through the final by sending Uruguay back home in semi-final later on, and lift the World Cup trophy on coming Sunday.   

Well, surely will not miss for both semi-finals and the grand finale matches in this coming week. All the best to the Netherlands-Holland-Oranje... let's 'Holland style' all the way ! ~~
