I think the end of the world cup is a good thing, because of
these positive effects:
-- Less people will trouble the poor 7-eleven stores by not buying
bags of beer, alcoholic drinks, snacks, fast-foods, afternoon
newspapers just to be psyched about the results, which footballer
screwed up or became a superhero etc etc etc.
-- A greater reduction of neighbourhood wierdos and oddly-behaving
people will not loiter around the coffee shop or convienience
stores, the only free-of-charge place to watch the football matches
and get stuff in the middle of the night. Therefore, you'll be
spared of the agony of having to see those eye-sores whenever you
eat.
-- Less people will trouble the poor coffee shops by not crowding
near the television screen and letting them just close shop
early.
-- More people will get a decent night's rest, since there wouldn't
be so much shouting.
-- (Applicable to people who tend to favour the favourites to win
the world cup) Less people will shout and scream whenever Brazil
scores a goal.
-- (Not applicable to people who are sincerely passionate about
football and love it) When all the hoolabaloo is over, some people
just realize that just spending time to watch a soccer match isn't
really a worthwhile thing to invest your time into. Some people
might realize that it is just only an excuse for people to get
together and have beer and be merry. But what do you gain from it ?
You'll be better off enjoying time spent with true friends or doing
something constructive.
That's all i have to say, because popular events like the world cup
does bring out the worst from people as i have witnessed 4 years
ago.
