Feeling different

I've never really rooted for a team in World Cups. cos I really don't know how.
It's always so different putting the star players from all different leagues into a single country. I'm lost.
I feel different this year when watching the big cup matches.
Many years ago, it's always a family thing, with the most recent 4 years ago, I watched with most of my buddies. Betting illegally (shhh!) then and watching together at drinking places.
This time round, it's watching with my own family (baby & me) and watching at home.
Most of the known players then no longer plays, like Maldini, Baggio... Van Basten & Klinsmen have even become coaches.

I'm older perhaps. I no longer feel heaps of excitement.

It's funny to look back 4 years ago and now.
It's an entire different perspective.
It'll be different again many 4 years later.

I'll be like my dad one day like how he tells me about Maradona, Bobby Charlton, Kempes, Pele whenever it's the big cup time... I'll tell mine about the stars of my time...
