It comes once every four years. Countries play in it. It's basically the EPL with Ghana and Australia instead of Chelsea (yay) and Manchester United (ew). All the matches are at ungodly hours. And who care whether Theo Whatshisname can play or not? If he's good, he'll play. If not, then too bad. Seriously. Every single day, there are pages and pages and pages of reports, controversies and scandals long gone, but revived to hype people up. Stupid quotes have a pride of place as well. IF this is what it's like now, imagine what it'll be like when the damn thing actually starts? They'll need a whole other section for all the news.
My dad's supprting Honduras (no, i have no idea who they are either). I myself am a Germany fan (i'd support Singapore, but they didn't qualify). I'm not saying that i'm obsessed or anything. I just happen to answer Germany whenever someone asks me who i'm supporting. Not like I can even stay awake until whenever the matches start.
If you ask me, people are just mad about this competition because they've got nothing else to do, and they want another excuse to plonk themselves down in front of the television for hours on end.
