INTERVIEW WITH WORLD CUP!
…another boring day…
Me: "Damn these days. I felt… edge…"
…I looked back to the street road. I saw everything from the window but seemed like I did not wanna go outside. But I saw… nothing… nothing at all…
Dora-the-Kid: "Are you alright?"
Me: "Fine, thanks."
…few days ago, I rethought about my mother. But what the hell? Nothing. So I decided to move out…
Me: "Now, get back to job. Okay, we passed through 11 nations over 24. And now… let's walk through Europe, shall we?"
Nigeria: "HEY!"
Me: "Nahh, I'm just kidding. In fact I'll make a vote. Now, everybody, put your phone. You will receive letter few minutes."
…the audience stood up all! They put the telephone, and checked in…
Egypt: "Choose… one of them?"
Me: "I've eliminated 11 nations. So now you must put another 13 nations. Go on."
Men!Egypt: "You should know it sooner."
Egypt: "Shut up!"
Me: "Okay, have you finished your vote? Let's start."
…turning silent…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…and… set…
Me: "Great job. Now, check out the result."
…I saw the result. All last remaining still in 0%. And…
…and…
…and…
…
…
…
Me: "WHAT?"
…the result made me amazed, even… a bit of… shocks. But I could not take it… DAMN…
Me: "So this is your turn… Thailand."
Thailand: "ME?"
Me: "Okay, please go down."
…seemed like Thailand had a bit of shock. But I… "damn it!" that was my words. Thailand must be very special…
Me: "Let's go, milady."
Thailand: "Well… thanks."
Me: "Sit in."
…this was Thailand's first appearance. Obiviously she never knew anything about World Cup…
Me: "And set. Now, everybody, please tell me the feelings when Thailand made a debut in a World Cup."
…I did not think about it. Thailand: 54%, highest on the first vote…
Thailand: "So, this is very awesome. At first I would not think about that, especially Vietnam was the host, and was expected to win."
Me: "And so you… okay, now let's get to work. Let's open with 2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup, shall we?"
Thailand: "Thanks mate."
Me: "Witnesses back to 2014 in Ho Chi Minh City. All the matches played in two Stadiums. And you qualified by beating Iran, Philippines and Bangladesh, right?"
Thailand: "Of course."
Me: "And you dropped to group B. The group that had…"
Thailand: "Oh yeah, I know. Thailand we stayed with South Korea, China and Myanmar. North Korea was banned, so this was our chance."
Me: "So your campaign had begun."
Thailand: "Not really well. Our game started with a 0-7 losses to China and 0-4 to South Korea. Both of them was quite development more than us."
Me: "So your last chance was to face Myanmar."
Thailand: "And yes. About Myanmar, they were not strong at all. The good thing that they were a part of ASEAN. But Vietnam could beat them, so what about us? 2-1 was our final score. And so we qualified to play-off."
…now this must be tense…
Thailand: "Play-off was Vietnam vs. Thailand, in Thong Nhat Stadium with over 20.000 spectators. This would be tense. In the first half, we managed a 0-0 draw, a hard draw. If that was in My Dinh it would be different."
Me: "And then?"
Thailand: "But no! The Vietnamese could NOT! They beat us in 2008 AFF Cup right on Rajamangala, so we must do it on their homesoil. Kanjana Sungngoen scored in 48'. Later she scored again, in 65'. Now we showed that they made pains in 2008, we repeated in 2014!"
…suddenly I remembered 2008 AFF Cup. Vietnam beat the Thais 3-2 after two legs, with a 2-1 win right on Thailand. Because that, the Thais decided to get revenge…
Thailand: "Only then, the Vietnamese awakened. But too late. They managed a goal in 86' thanked for Dung, sadly not enough. After the referee blew her whistle, in Bangkok fans cheered and rejoined with happiness, marked history that Thailand participated in World Cup."
Me: "Really?"
…my face looked… bad. Why? I don't… know…
Me: "Shit! Damn… the time will not wait for me. Okay Thailand, you won 2-1. So what can you do when you are in… group stage with Germany, Norway and Ivory Coast?"
…I might see Didier Drogba. That Ivorian reminded back the past, when Ivory Coast participated in 2006 WC as debutant…
Thailand: "We can be eliminated… But we must get a point!"
…seeing the face of Thailand, wow I remembered Drogba immediately. So then, I heard the drunk voice from the telephone. The phone was ringing, sounds very… bad…
Me: "Damn, the drunk has returned! So, Thailand,… wish you got best lucks."
Thailand: "ด้วยสิ่งที่ดีที่สุด" (With the best things.)
Me: "Hhhmmm…"
…in Thai, she should say "Wish". Why it was "With"? I did not know either…
…
Me: "I should go now."
