I don’t know about you guys but I’m having a hard time thinking about anything besides football right now. As most of you saw, the world cup kicked off last Thursday with a charity celebration concert featuring exciting performances by many artists like the Peas, Alicia Keys, and the lovely SHAKIRRRRAAAA!!!
Bottom line is: I. AM. PSYCHED!!!! WAKA WAKA PSYCHED!!!
Anywaaay, the tournament has started with some very exciting and some very boring matches. I am an Azzurri fan by heart! I really enjoyed their game against Paraguay.. I was literally standing on my feet for the whole 90+ minutes @@ when the match ended I was exhaaaaaaused!!!
But to be honest, I was so disappointed with their performance!!!! They played like they were forced to be there… like someone strangled them from Italy and brought them to south Africa to torture them.. My biggest disappointment was in the legendary goalkeeper Buffon. About an hour before the match, Aljazeera sports reporter asked him if italy was ready to win the world cup again and he sarcastically stated “don’t expect us to win the world cup every four years!” Seriosuly Gigi? What’s with the attitude ha?.. Not only that, he also failed miserably to save the Paraguayan goal and faked a back injury in the second half :S … he’s such a diva!!! I love him bss he has to snap out of it and start acting like a grown up!!! <>
On another note, I sided with Bafana Bafana in the first match against Mexico, with Uruguay in the second match against France, with the Aussies against the Germans and with the US against England... notice a pattern here?? I always side with the slightly weaker teams! I don’t know whats my deal… I mean shouldn’t we all be rooting for the best or the strongest… or in my friends case the hottest?? Does this make sense to you at all? I mean seriously WHO in his right mind would root for the usa against England (other than americans of course)??? England roster was filled with football superstars including Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney and Peter Crouch while I couldn’t identify a single good player in the US roster except the goalkeeper (who plays in a club in England :S).
Even though I know in the back of my head that it is simply impossible for the weaker teams to win, I try to believe and convince myself that they could for some reason… I fight for them and keep cheering even if they were losing.. So laish a3awer galbi you ask…. Sh7adni ashaji3 faree8 fashel w az3al lama y5sroon?…why bring misery to myself when i can easily choose a winning team? what on earth would make me root for those weak teams? Well .. I don’t know how to explain it…… even though their chances of winning are very slim, I like taking that smalllllll tiny “chance”.... Because… I don’t know I believe that it would just feel so much better when the underdogs rise against all odds… when they prove everybody wrong!
Gosh!!! I talk too much.. now where was I?… I swear I had a point behind this post *scratches head*… ummmmm oh yeah! taking the hard way..
My mom always tells me jokingly: “Lamoona ya3ni lazm tdawreen sebba 3shan t7ateen? Ma t3arfeen testanseeen nafs elnass”
Even though she jokes about it, she’s right!! I mean I chose the weaker teams that would most likely lose while I could've easily picked better teams....
Okay, forget about football for a second. This also holds for the way I live my life! I always do things the hard way.. I create very elaborate and difficult ways to reach my goals even when a simple path or action suffices. I seem to have an uncontrollable urge to complicate matters that are usually simple. What the hell is wrong with me?? I heard a lot of “min 9ejich?”, “wallah ma3endich salfa”, “la tkabreen elmaw’9oo3”, “take it easy”, “mafi shay yeswa” and blah blah blah… sometimes I even say those things to myself and my friends because people made me believe that it's true....
But you know what? There is nothing wrong with taking the hard way.. don’t let people tell you otherwise… don’t let them make you believe that nothing is worth the effort!!! Cuz I bet that it is worth it.. nothing compares to the feeling you get when you accomplish something you’ve worked so hard for… something you struggled for… something you fought for… So if you have a very hard exam or a very challenging project ahead of you, work hard for it.. do everything you can to make it happen.. fight for it.. rise against all odds...
Did any of this make any sense to you guys?? :S Oh well… it did in my head when i wrote it..
Good luck to Azzuri in all of their matches and good luck to El Matador in their game tomorrow!! (my second team)
Until my next post, forza Azzurri and viva España!!!!!
Lamoona
Song of the day: Mambo Italiano! (LOL I love this songggggggg… dedicated to all you azzurri fans out there!!)
