Sotong

It's cool that I get World Cup results update from friends in Facebook so even though I don't really watch it but I still roughly know whats going on. It's funny to see my colleagues asked Tung to buy the football bets for them and later blame him when they lose lol. It's entertaining to see them discussing about football everyday and making sure we eat lunch in malls where they can buy Singapore Pools. Comments on Paul the sotong never fail to crack me up and then all the anger over sotong the stupid but in the end don't know who's the stupid one hehe. Amusing.

What's not cool are girls that don't know shit about football talking about football. That's fine if they take this World Cup chance to get to know about football because hey, football is not just for the boys okay. It's also fine if they are genuinely interested in the games but NOT the girls who are pretending to know and even LIKE football particularly now just to get attention. Parading in your borrowed or your one and only jersey or pretend to be upset about the team that lost OR wrote in the FB/MSN status about praying to God so which team will win even though they don't know shit about the team besides the name of the country is pathetic. It doesn't make you any cooler, it only makes you a dumb shit.

I don't know anything about football and I won't pretend to be all excited and into it just during World Cup. It's great to see people show their passion and discuss about football. But just how interested can you be in football if all you do is login and update your FB status on the 'excitement' or 'disappointment' every half an hr? Tsk.
