HelloThe Fifa world cup is a competition of foot-ball where 32 countries participate. This time it is taking place in Germany. Last time it was in Korea and Japan. Last time, Brazil won the cup and Germany was second.
Here in Mexico people are very excited of seeing the world cup, expecting Mexico to win. Rafael Marquez is the captain, a good player and plays in Barcelona team. The goalkeeper is Oswaldo Sanchez and when he was in Germany for the world cup, his father died. So he visited Mexico to participate in the funeral and returned back to Germany immediately. And the next day he played the game against Iran. I think he must have been very sad. After winning against Iran, he dedicated this winning game to his father. Appa says that Jared Borgetti is a good player too. While playing against Iran, he had his leg hurt. So he didn’t play against Angola.
I like foot-ball. I see and also play foot-ball sometimes. Appa told me that Shankar chitappa played foot-ball very well. I saw the World Cup Inauguration. It was fantastic. First they made some traditional dances, then a modern type. After that women dressed like bells came. Later Pele, a famous Brazilian foot-ball player and a lady came in to the ground and presented the Fifa cup. The women in the ground were hung like bells in the ceiling. Then several famous old foot-ball players came with a banner stating the year they won the Fifa cup:
England 1966, France 1930 and 1998, Uruguay 1978, Argentina 1986 and 1934, Italy 1982, 1884, Germany 1952, 1974 and 1990, Brazil 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002. Later German president with officials of FIFA came and the German President inaugurated the world cup. Some German singers came and sang a song for the world cup. Finally some old world cup players came with the flags of all the countries participating in this world cup.
In the first match, Germany played against Costa Rica and Germany won 4-2. More than 1 million of people are visiting Germany to see the world cup. More than 40,000 Mexicans are presently in Germany to see the matches. I also saw the following matches: England vs. Paraguay, England won 1-0. Argentina vs. Ivory Coast, Argentina won 2-1. Maradonna also was present to see this game. Appa and chitappa like Maradonna very much. In Mexico vs. Iran, Mexico won 3-1. I also saw Angola vs. Portugal, US vs. Czeck Rep. and Mexico vs. Angola, which was a draw of 0-0. Mexico will play versus Portugal on 21st, June. It’ll be very exciting. Hope you all like foot-ball. Enjoy it!
