Never mind the World Cup!
Everyone’s so into football recently that I feel a bit out of place.
Yes, I know it’s the World Cup. I know it’s the most important time for all football fans. Hell, I sometimes enjoy watching a good game. But why would I want to watch all of them, no matter who’s playing? Why would I be bothered about the result of Chile v Switzerland? Why should I care if Honduras beats Cameroon? Why would I want to sit through a completely boring game with no goals and no action whatsoever? I might as well check the scores online to be up to date.
Not that I feel the need to do that.
Having said that, I’m quite happy that the Polish team did not qualify. They’re not much of a team, just a bunch of guys that play together from time to time, but not often enough to be able to cooperate. It’s not much fun to watch them being beaten by Spain (6:0, a splendid result indeed). I wouldn’t be surprised if they got their arses kicked by San Marino. I’m not exactly an England fan either – not that it matters now that everyone seems to be flying the flag. I have a soft spot for Holland and would be quite happy if they won. Not super-excited-happy, but satisfied.
There’s something more important to me now: in the midst of all this football madness there’s the Polish Presidential Election. This coming Sunday, I’ll vote. And it doesn’t matter how many football games I’ll miss because of that.
