Image by iccsports via FlickrWorld Cup fever has struck even the most balanced individuals and there appear to be only a few exceptions. I am one of the latter as I have not mortgaged my condo to take out a premium cable package with Singtel or Starhub.
I have very little interest in soccer as most of the players seem to spend inordinate amounts of time writhing of the ground and faking injuries trying to incur a penalty.
The local S League takes this masquerade one step further with players being carried off on stretchers at regular intervals, only to rise Lazarus-like as they reach the sidelines.
Give me a real man's game anytime. Rugby is the code I and most New Zealanders were brought up with and it the one that I still follow. The 'real' world cup will take place next year in New Zealand.
