It’s Friday already here and the World Cup 2010 starts today! Woo!! Woo!! This is the time when families are divided, friends become foes and wives are neglected. For the next five weeks I will eat, live and breathe football, everything else will take a back seat, even Orlando :-) so apologies for my MIA here next few weeks. Hope there’re lots of drama and controversies and stupid referee decisions, for what is World Cup without all that but no penalty shoot outs please, my heart can’t take it.

Good luck to host nation South Africa, Mexico, Uruguay and France in their opening matches later today. If you are team Argentina, follow my coverage (my 4th World Cup, yes I am that old) at www.gabrielbatistuta.net or at twitter at @GBatistuta9. Good luck to all the teams and may the best team win. Now wave your flag
