Took me a while to type "Schweinsteiger"

My summer break has officially ended and so the World Cup. Great thanks to Germany for winning this year (2014) and for making the remaining weeks of my summer really worthwhile (still cannot accept Spain's defeat though). Move on.

I'm not really a big fan of football just like some of the folks here, it's been recent since I found myself watching a lot of matches - locally, Asian, European. I believe, 2010 was the peak of my huge football interest; Messi became my favorite player, football was introduced in school (though I'm familiar with it ever since & I like it better than basketball). Also, I started my friendly bets for Germany and Spain during the World Cup 2010. My sister mainly juiced me with infos and I have seldomly watched all the matches. You know, Asian fans problem - time difference. I'm not really familiar with players except Lionel Messi. I first recognized him with Barça and not in Argentina. He's such a fast-legged and so cool. Since then, I barely still watch football on TV not unless my lola or sister do. Yet, school activities made me twined to sports fest wherein I play frisbee and volleyball (which I suck). However, thanks to the internet and I've known Bayern.

I've learned a lot about football, players, leagues, football tournaments and the birth of Azkals (Philippine football team). I've become a fan and always begs to watch live on pitch, but never happened until now. 

College made me join futsal and still makes me exposed to a lot of football stuff at school and indoor tournaments and personal experiences on court. The difference between, futsal (5) is played indoor while football (11) on field. It also made me become more attached with one of my favorite things in the world, football. 

Since the World Cup 2010 - when Shakira met Piqùe (I guess), to 2014 - when Messi is still my favorite player, Spain & Germany as my world cup teams, awake at the timezone (against my country's) of my very first full-time stream of the world cup, Barça & Bayern as my favorite clubs, and all the friends that I met because of football - Servus zusammen!

Did I make sense? Anyway, new semester just started a week ago and so far so lame. Joke. I love football. A lot. 



P.S. Thomas Müller gave me an idea of a new Bavarian phrase which means "hello" or "bye" (according to Tumblr). Anyway, I meant it as HELLO


Gute Nacht.
