An overdose of Soccer... I'm not complaining!

What a weekend!
For the past 50 odd hours, its been football and only football! (except of course the occasional movie on TV - this time a shitty flop Hindi flick too 'cos the VCD rental guy didnt have anything better)
The first few matches have been good, and exciting. The new stricter rules enforced by FIFA ensuring that there are lesser challenging tackles and more of skill and pace ruling the game. This means that fans like me would be treated to some amazing soccer and the Gods would go ahead and entertain, without having to worry that the next defender would jump on him like a savage and end his world-cup dreams with an injury.

This would automatically mean, more goals! :-) And only few things in life can surpass this kind of visual treat!
(Not exactly reiterating my whacky Finance Prof's favourite dialogue: "Hey did you try that Mexican Pizza at the new joint in Juhu? Its better than SEX!", but thats exactly the point)

Waiting to see Brazil next, but the charged me really wants them to be humbled - just for once. They are a overhyped and aeging team, but nevertheless with the best individual talent in the world.
Play on....
