Final Four in World Cup

     It's down to the final four in the World Cup 2022 in Qatar - Argentina, Croatia, France, Morocco. Two are previous champions, one is last edition's runner up and a newbie representing Africa-Arab Islamic groups. What a final four!
Into the semifinals

   I am excited to choose a team to win. I think it's Argentina's year. I am not sure of France winning back-to-back World Cup but they could be in the final.

World Cup 2022

     I miss football World Cup which happens every four years. The 2022 edition is not shown on live TV, unlike when I was in Malaysia and Singapore where football has massive following. The opening yesterday in Qatar and the first match was not shown on TV. I found out the results only online. 
2022 World Cup

     It is not shown in the Philippines where basketball reigns. All I can do is shake my head in disbelief when the whole world is agog over World Cup. I first learned of the World Cup in Malaysia, the 1996 World Cup, when Brazil won its fifth title. Malaysian friends are crazy on the World Cup so I had to get involve in order to join their revelry.  I learned to bet on my favorite teams although I don't remember winning.
