Keeping out the ball

Casillas and Neuer. Those two really showed their worth at the World Cup. One went on to become the world champions and the other was missed in the third place match. How hard can a goalie's life be? When you're protecting that net to keep away any attempts from the opposition for scoring, you have your team's life at risk. I love seeing goalies like Casillas and Neuer at play. They have this tendency to fly in any direction to stop the ball.  Flying in football? Just one of the many amazing stunts this beautiful game has to offer.

And then the one where I really want to see Gourcuff play some real football

Gourcuff. I don't like him just for his looks. I want his incredible footy skills that got him called as "Petit Zizou" What happened? I never saw him spark in the world cup, to be fair, neither have Messi, Ronaldo and KaKa been on their prime too, but you know about great expectations. It was a real disappointment. Hopefully, this club season will prove to be a brighter prospect for Gourcuff. He may have regained his skills in the field and to put away the (rumored) tug-of-war in transfer prospects. I want to see him play like when he (and M. Chamakh) led Girondins to the Ligue 1 championships. Is that too much to ask?!

Here's Football!

It's no wonder I take absolutely no interest in my studies when I'm still fresh from a World Cup hang over. Even the jabulani and vuvuzela's have been missed. Terrible. And as I am still in the middle of football nostalgia (which I shall soon overcome), my priorities in life has been on the zigzag track to nowhere. Argh. I miss football. I miss the German NT, the drama of the FRench NT, the proud Brazil NT, Wacky Maradona and even C.Ron. FOOTY!
