Shoot me if you have to, because I declare myself a huge fan of Germany.
In my history books, Germany was never the good guy, not even after WWII. I know some Germans would cringe whenever people bring up the past atrocities of the war, but I totally salute the way Germany is now.
First of all, I love its football culture. Totally. I’ve seen the Germans fight for the pride of their country in World Cups ’02 and ’06, and although they were overpowered in the end by the Italians, the fighting spirit never faded. This should be the way we live our lives, to hide away our fears and go all out to pursue whatever we want.
And the hospitality of the people is just overwhelming. I might not have been there and experienced the kind hospitality of the people there, but the many chants of praise for the people of Germany just floods in. I love this.
Last but not least, the food!

World Cup Snippets
I’ve been so lazy recently, I couldn’t be bothered to bring myself to update. I couldn’t bring my fingers onto the keyboard and wax lyrical all day about the World Cup. So before I lug myself to school 15 minutes later, just a little snippets about what I think about the World Cup.
Zizou has definitely decided to ruin his retirement.
I grabbed my head when the camera replayed the head-butt scene, and that vid had never stopped playing in my head ever since 5 in the morning. What a great way to ruin his last match. Even if he’d been so furious at that Italian guy, even a dumb blonde knows that ramming your head into someone else doesn’t pay. Oh, it does, with a red card.
Good goalkeepers look scary.
Look at Italy’s Buffon and Germany’s Kahn. One has this scary smile which my younger sis is terrified of, while the other one growls and barks. Enough said.
Christiano Ronaldo-Angel and Demon
What he did to Wayne Rooney still baffles me. He’s definitely a demon in that sense, as well as a speed devil on the pitch shoulder. I guess Man Utd should consider reimbursing Ronaldo and sell him to Real Madrid, where he is rumoured to move to, lest Fergie wishes to see the two youngsters bloody noses every training session. Surprisingly, those antics of his didn’t come off during the match with Germany, or else Ballack would have knocked him flat with his 6’3 frame.
Say ‘SCHWEINSTEIGER’ 3 times
Well I tried that and, sadly, it didn’t turn out more than just gibberish. The German midfielder stole the limelight with his 2 goals and an indirect one to put Germany in 3rd placing. Maybe it’s time to stop fantasizing with the already-attached Ballack and move on to this 21-year-old hottie.
’Huh?’
That was probably the reaction from many people. Me too.
‘Hey England’s out.’
‘Huh?’
‘Brazil too.’
‘Huh?!’
‘Well, Argentina’s booted out too.’
‘…’
Okay I really need to get moving if I want to get to that 10 am Math lecture.
