as promised, world cup pics.

first thing da boys do when they set foot at cape may, is look for a tv.

coz it's world cup!


the next day, its still the world cup! (the store owners must be pissed)

let the fun begin!

watch hardy, the guy with the hat.

from the look on his face, england does something wrong

england tries for another kick...

and he shoots! er, scores!

dang, he looks really worried...

okaaay, i guess they get another one in.
well, i didn't get the final shot, as it got too crowded in the store.. but england lost, btw.

same day, same game (different teams), different venue.
so okay, they're not really about the world cup per se. not the sport itself, i mean. i found it more fun watching people's reactions, hence the pictures. i'm all up for people who actually do enjoy and watch the sport eagerly. i am NOT a big fan of people who just get into it, for the sake of trend or popularity.
in all honesty, i'm not that excited about it. i understand the novelty behind it, it's an international thing between countries (
kaya nga international e!), the tournament happens only once every four games. i like the jerseys. i like it when they go GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLL and EVERYBODY gets all excited about it. like one big party. but aside from that, that's all about it. all i see are a bunch of people kicking (oh dear, are there soccer fans here?).
wait, it's not soccer, it's futball. well, it's soccer here in US, and the football i KNOW is the one with the pigskin (i think). whatever. i like the latter one better. i think there's more strategy involved, and it's such a powerful raw sport. to each his own i guess.
so in the end, i found out beckham (admittedly the ONLY player i know in this game, coz he's really hot) resigned his post as england's captain. and in the finals, italy won. um, ye, congrats :)
