Not World Cup Crazy

World Cup 2010 has started and the frenzy that comes with it is escalating as days go by. The funny thing though, it’s very rare that I would see World Cup games on TV in houses and commercial establishments here. Filipinos are more NBA crazy than World Cup crazy especially now that the NBA finals are getting more intense.

Filipinos love basketball more than any other sports. Ironically, the average height of the Filipinos is usually the main hurdle of getting the worldwide spotlight. Sure, we can play well but going against those giants in international games are really too much for the height-deficient Pinoys. I wonder, if we should just shift to being World Cup crazy instead of NBA games crazy. We might have some chances of winning by emulating the World Cup players more than the ones in NBA.
