Football Crazy, Football Mad (World Cup Soccer)

Two posts in two days? Wow :) Usually a mild mannered creative type, I turn into a mad fan when world sports events take place - this time the World Cup in South Africa. I will watch every game I possibly can, I just LOVE it!! Today, it's England v USA, tomorrow my boys the Socceroos (Australia) v Germany, ah, what a great weekend!

Required elements for a soccer/football fan? Passion - for the game, for the players, for your country - just bring your passion and you'll be in great shape. Wear your colors, maybe some face paint, some people even go for body paint - I won't post those photos, you can Google them :) These guys are passionate about the Socceroos -

Wayne Rooney is passionate about England (and they are passionate about him - one way or the other)
Not to seem too shallow, but part of the sport these days seems to be showing off your abs, and who am I to complain about that? After scoring a goal many players will take off their shirt, these two make a habit of it, and if I were in such great shape I might just do the same thing -

Didier Drogba (Cote D'Ivoire) &
Christiano Ronaldo (Portugal)

Harry Kewell (Australia)

My fave ab guy of all time can't play this time due to an injury, but he's over there attending the games and supporting his team.

David Beckham (England)

So - pick a team, grab a flag, and get into The Beautiful Game.

  2. Rooney looks TERRIFYING in that picture, and seeing how he tears up the field I'd hate to be in defence when he's around. I make a big deal about pretending not to like football but growing up in the Liverpool area like I did, it's kind of in your blood :) I avoid all the big screens in town, but only cause I know I'll get sucked in and end up drinking beer, jumping up and down and screaming at the ref :D

  6. I have to admit I don't get the whole soccer thing. I started watching the USA/England game but a) I understood very little of it and b) those freakin' horns were driving me crazy. But the eye candy nice!
