Sport, sport, everywhere
The next few weeks are gonna be a race, but one in which I won’t be moving a lot. This is definitely a sports month, yet a couch potato’s sports month. In the right corner – the next and final levels of the World Cup. In the left corner – tennis with the Wimbledon matches. In the middle – race after finding job ads to send my CV to. Right next to it – 2 exams and 1 paper. If I put the school stuff aside (meh, I only need a pass grade to finish the BA), it’s still pretty hard to pick between the dutch lions and Roger Federer. Eurosport isn’t even broadcasting the full games, so I’ll have to scan the sports channels for the scattered matches. And then I have the solid 2 channels that broadcast the football games in the very convenient circle of 2:30, 5:00, 9:30pm.
The Queen won’t miss Wimbledon! And she’s a busy lady! Or not..?
It started off wanting to be part of the world and watch the big football games. But now I’ve already picked my teams and I must watch their every game. It’s Holland-Argentina to the finals I say! Brazil has me cheering for them too. England messed up so I’m sick of those losers. Except for Mr. Green. I feel bad for that guy. Between his girlfriend dumping him, the poor mistake against the americans and the vuvuzelas right behind his back [that will no doubt make him deaf by the end of it] the guy really does deserve a decent hug. Every game has its politics and my choice of cheering one team or another is pretty arbitrary. Any team that plays against the US should win, ‘cuz them trying ruling the world should stop! You’ve got american football, NBA, baseball. More than enough! And countries where no one knows what an offside is shouldn’t get ahead in football tournaments. Today’s big game is Spain-Honduras and I really hope Spain gets it. They started off badly, even with all those barcelona and real madrid players. The parallel tennis match for that game against Switzerland was of course federer-nadal. Only in tennis I’d be on Switzerland’s side.
Ahhh tennis, football, tennis, football. I should be active myself and not just watch others! Last time I was at the gym summer hit me with a bang. Not only it was hell heat on earth, but kids were everywhere at the pool (some made their way to the gym) and a flush of newcomers was seen at the gym itself. don’t people have jobs? Grrrh. I hate crowded gyms. I wish my parents had pushed me to play tennis or something when I was a kid. No future for me now! Probably takes 20 years just to learn how to serve and hit right.
So I’ll watch it all through my dear LCD TV, all the Andys and Rogers and Williamses and grunting russian girls and also all the Torreses and Sneijders and Messis and Fernandezes. And that korean guy that looks like Ando from Heroes. All that sports (watching) and I’ll gain another half a person in weight!
So… will the lions get ahead?
