random worldcup thoughts..

had a normal weekend.. the only thing different was that world cup has started so it was great to have something to look forward to! the only unfortunate thing is that they have games from 9pm, 12am and 3am HK time.. and that basically means i can't watch the 12am game fully and the 3am at all ; ;
why is italy playing at 3am...

at least the japan game is on tonite! kind of looking forward to that becuase the two teams seem pretty equally 'paced'... the most exciting match so far has definitely got to be the germany vs costa rica match!! there were so many goals in the first sixteen minutes of the game! craaazy...

i'm very disappointed about italy tho :( they were the team i watched as a kid and they've always been my favorite.. amid all the scandal, i'm not sure what'll happen this year's world cup.. they kind of wind down so fast ever since the 1990s and i don't know if they'll be able to pull themselves up ... ; ;

i need nicole to talk about wc with! and cheer with... i get challenged by guys in HK about soccer, as if they think beckham's the only guy that female soccer fans know about.. -.-;; i had a friend ask me "what specific player do u think has potential this year?" and gave me this 'look' -__-; but luckily he was a good friend of mind so i just gave him a "-____________-" look lol

england has potential this year.. i think a lot of players have improved and there's always rooney.. i hope he manages to be able to come out later on for england ~_~ as well, i finally got myself an england jersey that fits... the jerseys i've been getting over the years (japan, england, italy) are all waaay too big.. especially for the england one where the smallest they had was medium, and the 'short sleeves' came past my elbows!!!! i couldnt' even wear it out ~_~ but in hk they sell teen size and woman sized jerseys ^_^ the kid-sized one in medium i fit perfectly.. i'm going for the feminine-er type look this year because i dont' want to look like i'm wearing a nightgown around anymore lol ~_~

hk, i found out, is very very into 'england' and cheering england on. i think people know them best, and also because they're the 'coolest'? i dunno.. not sure about HK people mentality even tho i live here now... not sure if i like that, but what i DO like is the hype about worldcup~ in canada the most i did was wear jersey + the flag on my car, but other people were not too excited about it.. but in HK.. people are crazy! paying money to stay up for it, going out to bars and staying out all night, and even special shuttle buses are being arranged for people to get home! maybe because not everyone is able to watch world cup at home (stupid i-cable thing that not everyone can subscribe to it..) but i think also because HK people really love soccer... and that is really really cool..

i can't wait till weekend when i can stay up and watch world cup for a longer time...

and oh.. i don't really like the mascot for this year's wc ~_~;

will post pics/stuff about weekend when i get home and can upload pictures~

current mood: sleepy (as usual on mondays..)
