When expectations fail and disappointment takes over, there is hardly anything that one can do. Even getting drunk and passing out will not help. What helps is coming to terms with it and that is exactly what I am doing at this point in time.
When friend and well-wisher Arseish Wembley told me that he could give me a VIP pass to the Argentina-Germany Quarterfinal clash to be shown at the Kantherva Stadium, Bangalore, I was all pumped up and was ready to witness Lionel Messi walk all over the Germans. But fate has its own way of making you look like a clown who failed to make the crowd laugh. All I got to see was a bunch of buffoons in blue and white shirt running behind the ball like how 4th standard kids do during P.T. period while Schweinsteiger dribbled past them like they didn’t exist and the annoying German supporters who punched their fist in the air every now and then and relentlessly blew –Or what looked like– the Vuvuzela added insult.
My only hope left is the Uruguay. They face a confident and yet to be defeated Dutch team. I hope they do well.
While I recuperate from the loss, please take a look at the pictures from the rather sad occasion.
