I am totally zapped and engulfed by the football fever which is talk of the world. Though I am not an avid follower of the club championships, the aura of the World Cup is too celestial and magnanimous to ignore.
The round robin stage is almost over and its separated the chalk from cheese.
The real fun now begins, with extra time on ties at 90 min, and then the goalies' delight, the penalty shoot out. I think that is what fans look fwd to and adds that extra zeal to soccer.
Such is the effect of football, that it makes cricket go pale and our national game hockey completely outside the radar of public attention, though India is playing there and doing well for a change.
I had written a nice blog few days back, but I forgot to hit the SAVE button, and 30 minutes of literary wisdom went down the drain; felt sad to lose that masterpiece which occurs rarely, it was a Jungle book theme blog. Let me see if I can recreate that magic sometime in the future.
