These days people are organizing, each in his own way;
It arranges for itself work and viewing hours around game time, it prepares for a flashy and gluttonous living room, it renews itself on a huge screen and these are determined with friends.
Good day to us, Happy holiday.
FIFA World Cup.
As every season before the World Cup games, the thought crosses my mind: maybe this time?
Maybe it's time to make a decision to get involved, learn the map of tournaments and games, and be a man?
After all, in my head, that is, at the level of intellectual understanding, I completely understand the experience.
The fact that I've never been to a football game (I was at Teddy's, at a Chabad conference), the fact that I'm not too excited about watching the games, doesn't mean I'm not into it.
I mean, I'm not into it.
But I understand the experience and even envy those who experience it.
I once even interpreted the World Cup games on the late Channel One in the chair of "the one who doesn't understand", and the problem was that I quickly began to understand. And so, every time the World Cup approaches there is at least this option, which I sometimes enjoy on long trips or in the shower, which maybe I will get down to business and build my sporting dream world.
It will be an escapist, festive and full of emotions world that will fix me for the next month and even a little further.
As it stands now it's not going to happen.
The calendar is full, thank God, the head is busy, and Irit Linor found time to take advantage of her vacation days from the radio.
Therefore, what is left for me is to prepare again for the World Cup in the way I am familiar with.
That is: to close in advance on one or more sentences that when you utter them during the World Cup - you come out the only one who understands.
I have already told here before that for years when I would find myself in the middle of a conversation about sports, I would be embarrassed and unnecessary, until I adopted a phrase that I once heard years ago from a friend who understood sports and I would stick it.
The sentence was: "Why doesn't Kornfein go to high altitude balls?".
It was so good and accurate, and it served me for years, until once I played it in the ears of a sports journalist who was sitting at a table in a cafe next to a guy I didn't know, and in hindsight it turned out that the guy was Itzik Kornfein himself, who of course was no longer a goalkeeper, but managed Beitar Jerusalem.
So that's the project now, my friends.
Give me, in any way, ideas for such lines.
This should be a line that will be relevant to every part of the World Cup, that will be critical but not one that invites a backlash, polemical but not one that can be answered, original and well worded and also include the use of professional terms, as well as the mention of a specific name.
It is better for a player who is still playing and not one who has already hung up his shoes (is that how they say it?).
I will appreciate your response, otherwise I will have to seriously consider officially entering the World Cup.
