Now I'm ready for the FIFA World Cup tournament. And the opening match is just about one hour more away. I bet many soccer fans, especially those countries which have their football teams participating, are damn eager for it to come. Yes, indeed this is arguably the most popular sport event in the world. Nobody can say that he or she has no idea about it. Haha...right?

Before we have the opening match giving the sensation of sport spirit and excitement, let us look again the famous FIFA World Cup trophy. It has the names of past FIFA World Cup winners. And Brazil has its name 5 times on the winners' list. Wow...impressive. Will Samba football flourish again, like how it did for the last World Cup tournament? Or will Three Lions or the hosts Germans fulfill their dreams? Haha...we shall see these actions throughout the next month.

Names of the past FIFA World Cup winners

Oh, this FIFA World Cup tournament has really nice slogans. And they are "A time to make friends" and "Say no to racism". I believe these are necessary during such times where there's hatred, revenge and selfishness. Hopefully while watching the whole tournament, people realise the need to understand one another, regardless of nationality, race and language. We all belong to this world. Nobody else can love us more than we do. Haha...cheers to these slogans!

A time to make friends, say no to racism

Seriously, I love to watch FIFA World Cup tournament cos' there's always full of spirits, surprises and excitement. And you get to see pretty pictures of people gathering to enjoy this football fiesta. Indeed beautiful. I love that.

Ok, let us sit down and enjoy the opening match between the host country Germany and South American Costa Rica. Haha...the German heraldic eagle is asking me to quickly get seated to let everyone enjoy this FIFA World Cup tournament to the fullest.
