So the World Cup finals are later today and everyone has their well-stocked coolers at the ready cos Trinis care more bout the lime than a side any day, let's face it. So whether u paying $300 or no kinda dollar$ ur eyes would be near to a tv set to jump or scream or cuss somebody for doing something u probly don't even understand cos well, that's what I do.
I don't follow football regularly but World Cup intrigues me for the most part so I decided some readers might actually care about "serious"-ish stuff so I ventured on a "serious"-ish quest to find out from the three (3) people I know that take football as way more than just a game [[Dawn, Jamaal and Kendall]] what they felt about and predict for the World Cup of 2010.
Let's get it clear from the jump who their favourite teams are: Dawn said she picked 5 to support for the World Cup (I picked the same 5 surprisingly) but England is her "main squeeze" ; Jammy is an Italy man and Kendall said Brazil "all the time" and then Spain and "anybody else is cos they playin nice at the time or I like some of their players..." <<-- u can tell he is the most difficult of the three to get an answer from lol.
Undoubtedly this World Cup was full of surprises. When their favourite teams got sent packing they were all a bit dejected but each had to admit that their sides had flaws that wouldn't have gotten them very far. Kendall said Brazil had "industry but no artistry" as the team's more "creative" players were left home; Jammy didn't see Italy winning the entire tournament but expected them to go further than they did and Dawn cited a lack of teamwork as England's biggest downfall.
Of course everyone has a prediction on the finals... including an octopus but we'll get to him soon. [[at time of post Jamaal cud not be reached for comment on his prediction... boo you =( ]] Dawn's neutral but would prefer seeing Holland lift the title as would Kendall since Sneijder is an ex-player from his fave club (Real Madrid) and he just wants him to become World Player of the Year over Messi especially since "Cristiano aint gettn nun". As far as Paul the octopus goes,Dawn wanna fry him, Jammy thinks it all just weird and Kendall wanna steal him to play Lotto.
So, the responses here weren't direct quotes as I would've liked and trust me, a whole lot was left out but these people had way too much to say about football and this is not ESPN so sumthin had to give in sum places lol
But like I said, these people serious about their football... case in point: A certain individual made me almost believe it was possible to die thru MSN as I called The Hills "real life" and FIFA was "just a game"... lesson learned.
Oh! As far as I see it, I kinda think Spain gonna take it but it's all good to me, I have no bets running so I'm most happy =)
