Cup mania
Copyright Time Comic of the Week
Ah, well. I’m not American for sure, so does that make me an alien? Perhaps. 
But strangely, despite the fact that the diplomats at the United Nations in their glass palace are envious of the World Cup, I don’t care much about it. Who could blame them? Millions will watch the World Cup matches, but how many would follow the deliberations of the UN General Assembly or the UN Security Council?Plenty of people could have told you that David Beckham is England’s team captain, but how many could have told you John Bolton is the US Ambassador to the UN?
Although I haven’t watched a single match so far, I get some tidbits there and here, from people around me and the ever pervasive cyberspace. Practically everyone is excited about it, except me.
Maybe I’m a social alien then. I did watch the ‘02 Cup, as the telecast times are extremely convenient for us Asians at that time. Either I need more time to get exited about it, or I’ve finally weaned myself off the TV (and got wrapped up around the other box in the house). Perhaps it’s because of the time difference. Sooner or later, time will tell.
In the meantime, I’ll bore myself to death by the world fastest sport. I am getting horrendously sick of shades of blue and yellow by the way. Don’t get me wrong here. My favourite color is still blue, especially dark blue. But not just one particular shade of blue.
