We wont see them but we will miss them
Most of the world qualifying groups matches for World Cup 2010 end yesterday except for Africa continent while the rest are just play-off to determine who will proceed to South Africa 2010 with 50 -50 chance of making it. Some countries are left devastated for not being able to make it even to play-off. Well from what it seems at the current moment, South Africa 10 definately will bring thrill and plenty of excitement to all of us but too bad I am going to miss my kaki bola, no more late outings at Pelita,Kayu or the global brand McD that serves 24hours at least for 2010 World Cup.
Ahha how I miss those moments during Euro 2008, to me the best time must be in McD Sg.Dua with all the free flow of drinks and the best thing is we get free french fries voucher whenever a team score. Lets see who was my kaki bola that time, well we got the usual gang of Bu, Winson, Jim, See Khoon,Ping and then we got Choo Hoe, Wee Ming,Kim Chuan,Seng Kee and etc. Can’t really recall who else is there ,mind to add in the name ah for me ah ? Is a great campaign even there are some people who lose something and some people who win something, I am sure you guys know what is that something !!!
Spain without a doubt a well deserved champion even though it is such a waste whenEngland doesnt participate in Euro 08. Lets talk about WC 10 instead, some of the notable teams that we definately wont see in South Africa are Czech Republic, sigh I sort of like Czech Republic since Pavel Kuka era. I mean a team with Petr Cech,Thomas Rosicky,Jarosla Plasil and Milan Baros just to name a few is an exciting team. Some other teams are Sweden,Croatia and Turkey. Sweden team always full of young and hot hunks with golden hair, there are the plus point to get girls involve with football while Croatia manage to secure 3rd place finish in their first WC appearance in France 98 and since then their football been very entertaining. Turkey are very unpredictable teams, even they might not be a very strong team but they always entertain and most of the time they are the real dark horse in all the competition they participate.
While in Asia, I will miss China, Iran and of course Malaysia, I am still very confident that I will see it with my own eyes that Malaysia will make it to the WC before I die even we are so far behind in the world rankings. Malaysia Boleh !!! Iran Ali Daei once is the world most profilic striker in the world, he scored 109 goals in 149 international matches.His ratio scoring rate exceed any striker that you could think of but most if not all of his goals are against a much weaker team. China with population of 1.2 billions people will be WC champion in near future but for WC10 you wont see them there but dont worry they will be busy producing more babies behind the scene to go even further.
Nothing much to talk about North,Central America and Carribean. Hmmmm I guess I will miss Jamaica but I dont understand why with their strike force lead by Marlon King and Ricardo Fueller they still cant make it to WC10. Regarding Oceania since Australia joined AFC I guess they will be only represented by New Zealand in the play-off,I will rather have a 5th team from Asia in WC. While South America continent I will miss Ecuador and Colombia, these 2 countries always been flamboyant and do add the little spice into WC but sayonara is all left to say to them.
I will discuss on teams that qualified for WC 10 once all the play-off finish on 18th November 09 and also my humble predictions and thoughts on South Africa World Cup 2010.
