2006 Football Fever!

Alrite! Its over now..And its high time to write my views about what has become history. Well, I have never been a football freak. I never showed interest in knowing players nor their strengths. This 2006 football season was different to me..My learning curve about the game was exponential! 64 Matches,12 Stadiums,Germany as host nation and Millions of fans pouring their love for the game and holding the pride for their nation..June 9th - July 9th 2006..Wow! What a show was that!!

I was so much into the 90 minute war between the two teams which left millions of supporters in smiles/tears!..Every fan has a reason to, as this moment comes once in 4 years and this game is all about Teamwork,Execution and Support for their nation..

Each match is a charm in its own with players showing a lot of character and skill.
The Azurri's holding on to the world cup after 24 years,leaving the french fans disappointed.


Wayne Rooney(ENG) getting Red Carded..and Zinedine Zidane(FRA) getting Red Carded in his final match of a spectacular career..

All South American teams leaving the arena empty handed and not to forget Japanese early goal against Brazil...Many shall remember the FIFA 2006 for years to come...Controversies and stories have all now become part of history...

Trust me,Football is Fun! I am already awaiting 2010 FIFA!Maybe if time permits, thinking of getting a ticket to watch a match LIVE and live the excitement..and who knows India could be a part of the biggies...Are we there yet??
