World Cup   

Even I am not big football fan, I became guite excited about the World Cup 2010. Probably it is thanks to Japanese TV, which cheers for Samurais Blue „at full cry“ or maybe because of my father, who is asking me every time, when we speak on phone, if I have seen this or that match. Anyway, World Cup is a big thing, there is nothing to say against it! Every country is representing their own nation, so it won’t be big exaggeration to say, that the whole world is watching now what is going on there on the stadiums in South Africa.

While I am watching the matches on TV, sometimes it seems to me that, sport in generall becoming too much competitive, too much focused on victory. If you would like to know, who I cheer for, then of course for Japan. And actually also for Slovakia that has been participating in the World Cup for the first time after separation of Czechoslovakia (By the way in the qualification Slovakia beat down Czech, so our team stayed home:-).

But most of all, I cheer for the „sporty“ football, for the fair play not only on the stadiums but also in mass-medias; I cheer for being able to loose with elegance and comprehension; I cheer for the football which connects the people!!! I am afraid that there is no other way to improve ones skill other from loosing with the better ones. But I also beliefe that sport is not only about the improvement & getting „higher and higher“, I hope that is more about the friendship & pleasure of sharing the same skills among people of various cultures.

Hope you will cheer for the „sporty“ sport with me!!!!
