Yes.Finally those days are about to start.If I say frankly world cup days are few days which I just forget all other things and enjoy myself.Being a person coming from football crazy Kerala I am waiting anxiously for June 9.
Let us discuss about it.Tell about your favourite tams and players(if any body is interested in football). My favourite team is Brazil(as always) My favourite players are Kaka and Adriano(Brazil). After Brazil my support goes to Holland. only team which I dislike is France. I feel missing my home now .it would have been great If was there with so many friends and football fans . dil doondtha hain phir vohi fursat ke raat din

Prince Ali bhai
I also agreed that France was better team against Brazil.Why I told France is lucky team.In Euro 2000 France has got a lot of decisions going their way . Let me give few example 1. the wrong Penalty they got against Portugal in semifinal extra time(golden goal) 2. Equalising goal against Portugal in same match which was a clear offside. 3.Injury time (93rd minut) equaliser against Italy in the final. 4.This worldcup quarter against Spain wrong free kick given and goal beside Span dominated the entire match. Their african born defenders were using their body against the stylish players and Refrees were blind.Any way Zidane is a class player and what ever France is achieved is due to him.Once he and his senior collegues retire after the world cup we can see the fate of France where Brazil will remain in the top for years to come.I consider the teams like Holland which was(and still is) among the top teams always and still did nt win a cup(missed out in 74 and 78).Same applies for Spain also. I say that rather than France's victory it was defeat of Brazil.Brazil coach is to be blamed for their defencive tactics.Brazil was playing like they have some divine right to reach in the final.Same Brazil without Ronaldo,Carlos and Cafu won the Confederation cup.This time the veteren horses and the coach cost heavily for Brazil.Don't doubt attacking calibre of Brazil.They have many many youngers coming up and even in the defeat that is something to cheer about. Now hoping on our little brothers Portugal.Your argument about that match(Port-Eng) is biased one..Portugal had a ball possession of 62% and 20 shots on goal.From this itself one can estimate who played better. Finally the teams which attracted me in this world cup(though I could nt see many matches) Ivory cost,Ghana and Portugal just because of their stylish and attacking football. dil doondtha hain phir vohi fursat ke raat din
