We Are Going To The World Cup!
“I heard they make good Vodka in Russia”
I dunno what season it is over there in your country, but one thing is for sure though - it's the WORLD CUP season!!!
And unless you're probably returning from space, or you have been a hermit for the past four years living in the most remote corners of the earth without access to the internet, then you wouldn't know that Russia is the place to be come June 10 (Speaking of which i wonder how you even manage to be reading this).
My money is on Russia to win the opening game against Saudi Arabia & win comfortable, that should set the tune for the more exciting games to follow. I would be cheering for my beloved country - the Super Eagles of NIGERIA!!! We qualified in style but the group is a tough one, featuring: Argentina, Croatia & Iceland.
But that's what the World Cup is all about isn't it. Beating the best teams & playing an interesting brand of football. Nobody just strolls to the trophy. Let's enjoy this while it lasts, soon the tournament would be expanded to 64 teams to accommodate more countries.
It's hard to tell how much interesting it'd be from then on. Not like we have a choice, it's football & we're always gonna watch. But while each continents gets more slots, i think it brings in more sh*thole countries. Sounds more like business than improving the quality of the game you know. But that's just my take & i hope I'm wrong.
In the mean time my biggest fear is that this doesn't result in another World War. You know the World Cup is the biggest showpiece on the planet involving all the nations of the earth.
It's possible that Russia knocks England out & the British are all about how they played like the whole team were on steroids & should be banned. Things get heated up, America tries to intervene, Korea reminds them that they didn't even qualify for the tournament. Donald Trump goes to twitter to threaten about starting a nuclear war.
Neymar, the showboy of the games, goes in on a tackle with a Cameroonian defender & comes out second best ultimately ending his career. The Brazilian press goes crazy accusing the humble guy of playing like a monkey & asking for his head. African Union is not pleased with this labelling all South Americans as racists.
And then at the final in Moscow between Portugal & Egypt, Ronaldo & Salah are playing their asses off trying to win the Balon D'or that they are unaware their is a nuclear war going on outside the city. Russia is unable to close its borders in time. Zap! Zap! Boom! - The end of mankind.
We would have to wait for another 12million years while we slowly evolve from a one-cell organism. Only this time i hope we evolve into something better, with less brains & probably wings.
Hey, that's just me kidding around. I'm with my vodka & I'm going to Russia. Cheers 🍻
