use your head

after a month or so of camping out in front of the telly at 3am, the world cup draws to an end and the world bows to the newly crowned kings of football, italy. and therefore the world falls into a deep post world cup syndrome be it good or bad. there'll be nothing to look forward to every night, countries who lost will be in a state of depression and angst, asians would probably have developed panda-like eyebags after sleepless nights with school and work the next day, punters either becoming millionaires or bankrupts and the dolce vita italians will be wasted on the streets of milan and rome partying their nation's victory like there's no tomorrow. but are the italians worthy winners? in view of their progression from group stage all the way to the finals, the answer is no. they only played against mediocre opponents. for example, beating australia in the 2nd round after a last minute goal and ukraine in the quarter finals. there weren't any punch in those games. but anyway credit to them for lifting the coveted trophy and therefore it's theirs to keep since this is the fourth time they're champions of the world.


i'm someone who doesn't bet on soccer matches or in fact anything. that's because the odds are forever against me. no matter whom i root for, i'll end up losing. if i had betted during the last world cup, my name along with 'owe money pay money' will be written all over the walls of my void deck and suddenly you see a million and one pig heads hanging on my door. congratulations to those who've made a fortune, sorry to those who lost. just like the world cup, we need winners and losers. for your info non-gamblers are winners cause they use their head and know that betting can get outta hands unless you know how to control yourself. speaking of using your head and controlling yourself, zidane showed how to use your head literally to a billion and one people at around 3.15 am this morning but unfortunately not how to control yourself since he headbutted some italian mafia dude.

i think phua chu kang should meet zidane and tell him: use your brain use your brain use your brain!
