...footy fever

With the grand finals coming in the next few weeks, AFL is also doing the International Cup 2008 at Melbourne and Warrnambool, which will be rocking Australia. Teams from Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, Great Britain, India, Ireland, Japan, Nauru, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, South Africa, Sweden, USA and to my surprise, “The Peace Team”, which is composed of Israelis and Palestinians will be fighting for Footy supremacy. How good is that?

Not only that the tournament excites me, having the “Peace Team” just give me goose bumps. Who would have thought the two clashing parties in the promise land would wear one jumper? Footy really does wonders and it’s a nice thing having everybody getting into healthy and exciting competition.

The tournament has started last 26th of August and will run up to the 6th of September. Hopefully, if I can’t get into a venue, I could just get on TV and witness this historic event.

So far, as of this moment, NZ def. Japan, Great Britain def. Peace Team, Papua New Guinea def. Nauru and USA def. China.

Anyway, there have been talks about Geelong as “the greatest team of all”. Statistics shows that the 2008 Geelong line up has nailed the dominant Bombers in 2000. Who knows, Geelong has very much secured a finals spot and hopefully, continue its domination to capture the back to back premierships.
