2006 FIFA World Cup

The 2006 FIFA World Cup starts in exactly a day…
Lucci Lugee Liyeung has something to announce:

I am ONLY supporting 2 teams

ECUADOR

and

ANY TEAMS PLAYING AGAINST USA

Yes, I’ve turned into an Ecuadorean after living there for a while,

but why? why USA?
This dates from sometime in March, someone I’ve met somewhere in Africa:

I was right in between 2 projects so I had to stay a night in a youth hostel in Windhoek, Capital of Namibia. There were 8 people in a room and I was the only girl.

There was that American guy about my age in the room, he greeted me when he got in:

Hello…. you’re american?

Lucci: Uh… well I was born in the states, raised in Hong Kong

American: I KNEW you were american!! *laughs*

Lucci: Kind of

American: What’s that book you’re reading?

L: The Great Influenza

A: Oh I’ve read that book, it mentioned the bird flu too, rite?

*Then we started chatting about that book and bird flu*

A: How’s the bird flu situation in China, do you know?

L: It isn’t as bad as South East Asia

A: How many people are there in China now, 8 billion?

L: NO WAY! nearing 1.5 billion!

A: Well, when it goes up to the billions it doesn’t make a difference how many billions it is…

L: Well….

A: You know, I really wish that the bird flu would explode in China, and wipe out at least 90% of the population. It’s such a country with only quantity but no quality

L: Have you noticed you’re talking to a Chinese?

A: Hahahaha….

L: Think about it, if there’s bird flu in China, it’ll spread over to the states before you could even notice, consider how close these 2 countries are now, the connections, and with the power of globalization….

A: Hey, the world will come to an end when something like this happens to the US, you see everything in the world depends on the states now, Economically, Politically, everything, the world’s gonna collapse

L: So you mean the world will come to an end when a serious flu epidemic reaches China

A: Well, [I didnt concentrate on the rest since I was trying to read my book, but it was sth about politics]

*Politics… Religion…. 2 topics I always try to avoid since it gets way too heated, and always end up in fights*

A: Hey what sports do you play?

L: Baseball, I really enjoy watching the Japs play in the MLB

A: Argh, they all suck…. Look at that whatsoever Matsui, the so-called Godzilla, look how crap he played in the states, The other Matsui is even worse. These japs can’t play. There’s only one person who can still do well after immigrating into the states

L: Ichiro Suzuki

A: Yea, that’s the only good japanese player there is.

L: Right, you root any teams?

A: Argh, I hate the Yanks, the red sox, dodgers, giants, cardinals, white sox…….. [forgot the rest]

L: Basically, you hate every team

A: Heck, no…. hey, you’re gonna watch the world cup soccer?

L: Yea of course!

A: It was so funny 4 years ago, when we beat Mexico

L: I didnt watch that game

A: You should have watched the faces of the Mexicans, they were SO pissed off!!!!! But what’s so funny was that we Americans didnt even care! The US doesn’t care about soccer! Nobody even cared about the world cup in the states yet we beat the Mexicans! First we took California away from them now we take the quarter finals qualification from them! Hahaha! But no one even cared when we won! Nobody cared AT ALL! Nobody even watches the Soccer world cup in the states…. We got at least 4 bigger sports which we excel in! American Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey….. Think about it, if the states really do care about soccer and invest on it like the 4 other sports, how good can we get? We will kick Brazil’s ass big time with no sweat!

L: Yea right

A: Do you watch soccer back home?

L: Not a lot

A: Apparently Asian soccer sucks ass

L: Apparently Korea got 3rd place

A: Which Korea? North Korea???

L: South

A: Ha ha ha!! I was just kidding!

L: Anyway the SOUTH Korean team got a higher ranking than USA

A: Hahaha.. anyway….

Forgot the rest of the conversation. Well, I don’t care. I was trying to read. Noticed that American didn’t get I was trying to concentrate on my book and was trying to ‘fu hin’ him? And they dont get sarcasm

WELL, if you AMERICANS don’t even care about soccer, why do you watch and talk about it? If you AMERICANS don’t even care or watch the games at the end of the day, why did you go for the preliminary rounds in the first place??

Okay, since you AMERICANS don’t care about it AT ALL, I take that Italy Ghana and Czech Republic will kick your ass big time with no sweat. Shut you out.

Then hide my passport.
