The Beautiful Game


Its time again to enjoy the beautiful game in South Africa. I have been a dedicated follower of the soccer world cup since 1978. Who can forget Paolo Rossi of 1982, Maradona, Platini, Zico , Socrates(the Doctor) of 1986. Over the years I find less time to watch all the matches, but always try.

I have found the games more of a celebration and would be following Brazil, Argentina, England , USA , Ivory Coast. There are always suprises . The big suprise this year is North Korea in the world cup. How did they manage to qualify without the resources and money? When will India field a team? Hope we do in the near future.

So over the next month I will keep blogging about the world cup and hope you enjoy it. Let the games begin. Game on.
