The football World Cup started today. I tried watching the Germany-Costa Rica match a little bit. Was bored to death.

Here’s what I saw:

Passing, passing, passing, out of bounds.
Passing, passing, passing, someone falls down, ball is kicked long and far away, and then again, passing, passing, passing, out of bounds.

What is it in this game that makes it so exciting and so widely watched? I just never got it.

I do not have World Cup fever.

Instead I will be focussing on the F1 British GP this weekend, the French Open men’s finals, the NBA Finals (anything is better!), maybe even some cricket :-)
