Well.. the world cup finals kicks off midnight tonight and you’d think I won’t post anything about it huh? Hehe.

Hmmm there’s nothing much I can post since you can get the news on countries and players pretty much from everywhere nowadays (newspapers, radio, tv) . So I’ll just share with you some of the sites that I go to.

You don’t have to go to many sites since the news are all the same unless you want to read the news that Rooney’s broken metatarsal has healed in different tones.

• FIFA World Cup 2006
  The official website and you can get almost everything here. One of the most useful thing here is the schedule time. Malaysia timezone is ahead of Germany by 6 hours but just to be sure, you can click on the time matches displayed there, and convert it to the local Msian time (or wherever you are at the moment).
• World Cup History
  This site is also on Yahoo but you can find out some history on the teams and players here. Nothing like telling your mates that you know some football history and you can be like Shebby Singh for a few seconds.
• ESPN Soccernet World Cup
  A news site little heavy on the England-side but hey, it’s the next best supported teams in Malaysia (beside Brazil). England has so many supporters here that the oh-so-boring Akademi Fantasia 4 regular concert on Saturday night has been moved to Sunday noon because it clashes with England’s opener againts Paraguay.

Okay before you read this, read the original World Cup rules for Women first (if you haven’t done so) here.

Here’s the reply.

DEAR Husbands,

1. From June 9 to July 9, 2006, you may have the sports section of the newspaper and any special pullout that comes with it. You shall not have access to the other sections of the newspaper. What good are they when all you can think of is the World Cup. It is a fact that men can’t multi-task. They can’t multi-think either.

2. I will clear out the utility-cum-storeroom and move in the little spare TV so you can watch all the football you want. There, you can vegetate and sprout roots for all I care. Should visitors come a calling, I shall be spared the embarrassment of having to make excuses for an unshaven, unkempt, unsociable misfit.
