orld Cup 1998 was the first one of its
kind which I merely heard of. Watched it… No, Never! But I remember sleeping as
a kid of 6.5 years of age when France beat Brazil.

| Name the Flag! |
Then there comes the Great FIFA World
Cup 2002! Organized jointly by South Korea and Japan, and being an Asian, it
was the first-full World Cup that I watched! South Korea reached Semi! An epic.
But there was more than just South Korea that impressed and inspired me.
Team Deutschland! Germany! Oliver Kahn!
Miroslav Klose....! Well, that sums up pretty much everything!
You can call it a cliché, but FOOTBALL
is truly a beautiful game. My il-logic is Footballers score! Not only at goal
posts but also with (you know what I am gonna say next…) women, and believe me,
not just average women. As Charlie Sheen (Charlie Harper from “Two and a Half
Men”) calls his wives, they score with Goddesses (No…not Hindu or Greek,
religious Goddesses).
Ok, Enough with that “scoring” thing!
Let’s get to the point, shall we?
I got into football (not literally…
that would be ridiculous) after that World Cup. Let me say that again. I got
into Football game after knowing the German players—Kahn, and Klose,
especially. In fact, I was trying to keep track of the World Cup Stats back
then (Internet hardly accessible) for our School Monday Quiz. And, correct me
here if I am mistaken, but, Klose, making his debut at World Cup 2002, finished
as the second highest scorer in the tournament with 5 goals, equal of Rivaldo.
Klose became the first ever player to score five header goals in the World Cup.
Oliver Kahn… Oh, what a goal-keeping, until conceding a couple of ‘em to
Ronaldo.
And there was Klose’s “maybe
unregistered” trademark “front-flip” after scoring each goal. Myself being a
gymnast back in school days, seeing Klose demonstrating his acrobatics was just
what I needed as an inspiration (Although I didn’t go on to become a
professional soccer player, I play it for fun, and I consider myself kind of
Klose, tacitly, with a team full of selfish teammates. So I hardly become a
close-Klose here!). But I went on to lead the School-level gymnastics team.
That one was for Miroslav Klose. I even applied the Mathematical Transitive Law
to it.
Miroslav Klose = Gymnast……………(i)
Me = Gymnast…………….(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
Miroslav Klose=Me
Germany hosted World Cup in 2006. This
time Kahn was in substitute. He was in the starting lineup only for the third
place playoff. However, the Golden Boot was worn by Klose with five goals
again.
World Cup 2010 in South Africa saw
Klose with four goals, and Germany as third for second time.
Now its 2014. Klose playing his fourth
and last World Cup. And Deutschland is set to win its fourth World Cup.
Miroslav Klose has created the World Cup History of highest goal scorer with 16
goals. Brazilians looked like a cat drowned in the water. It was hilarious.
Pornhub created the hype by asking the Adult Video Site Users to stop Uploading
Brazil Vs. Germany Highlights as “Public Humiliation”.
Germany was humiliated by the world in
the World War I. It led to the rise of Adolf Hitler, and Volkswagen too (VW was
commissioned by Hitler to improve the economy of Germany). Bill Bernbach, the
founder of DDB Ad Agency literally transformed the much-despised German tag
(or, Guten Tag) to the American-icon. VW still lives, and so do Hitler and Bill
Bernbach with it. And so do the German team.
Germany deserves the World Cup title in
2014, and this time for sure. Otherwise it would not be fair. Best team should
win the competition, and that’s Germany, No doubt. Brazil had to go home. And
the job was well done for ‘em by the Germans. Fortunately, unlike other teams,
Brazil Team didn’t have to return home. They are home already.
After graduation, I plan to apply for
German Visa for further studies. As far as I know, education is free there.
What’s good about Germany is that it is economically efficient to live there.
Cost of living is relatively low, compared to that in France and Switzerland,
the neighbors of Germany. One can work in either of the two countries (Euro
zone free mobility) and use the earning to live in Germany. Guten Tag.
Passport… Check!
Graduation… Check!
Now all I need is some German Language
Class and Visa to Deutschland!
Ich komme, Deutschland!
