Football, football, football , football.............................

If some football freak ;) rates my knowledge in football, my score would be "19 , with 10 being the dumbest ever in football knowledge"....a phrase borrowed from F.R.I.E.N.D.S , episode 701 "TOW the Monica's thunder". Yes, I'm a F.R.I.E.N.D.S freak....
Okay, okay, we shall not waver away from the current topic - football.
I've never been a follower of football until this world cup happened..except that I heard of 'Pele' as the gr8est football player ever; Deigo Maradona for his well published history ; Davor Suker for his golden boot in 1998(?) because I had answered a quiz question and Beckham... I just heard his name a lot..
Isn't it quite surprising that I donot know atleast, any of the Brazil's gr8 players, considering they are one of the best teams in the world ?!!
For the last few days, 3 of my colleagues have been discussing football all the time, when they were not discussing the team's strategy. I normally go to lunch with two of these ppl everyday and for the first few days, it was just blah blah to me...
But of late, I had been interested in the game and tried to follow the scores of the maches that happened; though most of the time, I forget either to follow the score or forget about football altogether :D
The 3 colleagues I mentioned have started a guessing game, where they would guess the scores of the matches that would happen that current day and calculate points based on the actual scores.
Of these 3 ppl, one of them follows almost all kinds of football matches including those of women!!One, followed only international matches like the worldcup 'n' eurocup, but surprisingly has a very gud knowledge of the game, players and strategies; the last one definitely has less knowledge than the other two.
But, somehow, the last mentioned person seemed to be leading with the highest score in the guessing game!! Is it really 'only' guess work?? Or 'calculated' guess work.??
'm sorry that I'll not be mentioning any names in this post...
But all those discussions and the guessing game had imparted me with some knowledge about th e game and revived my interests in the sports a little..my interests in the sports including cricked had dwindled in the last few years and much in the last year with me playing no cricket at all!!!
Now that I've heard all the discussions, I know a few more names, Lampard, chevchenko, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Scolari(a coach though), Kakka,Rooney, Zidane and something called an 'offside'('m pretty sure I got atleast one name wrong). Now that the world cup is halfway thru, I'll atleast try to follow up with the happening matches and the scores of each match; may be even try to predict the scores of a few matches !! :D
and I hope that by the nxt world cup, I'll be a knowledgeable person in football.
Can someone tell me how often does this world cup happen? :-?
