6 hours from now, thousands of kilometres from Moscow, a nation will experienced high electricity loadings very early in the morning. The national power company from years of experience will have anticipated this situation and will not scheduled any maintainence work at this hour. So we all dont have to be worry about electricity disruption. No its not gonna be a any fireworks display or anything like that. No, its not going to be any warfare between 2 giants either as implied in the title bar. Its the football's EUFA Champions league Final Between "Red Devil" and "Blues" more commonly known as Manchester United and Chelsea, respectively.
What makes this match special is that both finalist are from the English Premier League that has strong followings in Malaysia and in the Asian region. Most Malaysian footbal fanatics knows these 2 teams by hard, from managers, players, substitues, jerseys, track records, goals scored, goals against, injury list,players diet, last medical check up, marital status, size of underpants, last parking fines not paid, favorite food, etc etc. Most of us will be watching this match from our living room but for added thrill some will watch this games at cafes, "mamak" stalls, complete with jersey of their team and all.
Well quite normal you say, but its gonna be 230 am in the morning in Malaysia when this game is played in Moscow. Expect the day after that most Malaysian men will be at work with bleary eyes, mis-button shirt, fly undone,wear underpants wrong way round,different coloured socks, hairs combed the wrong way, brought wife's briefcase to office, wallet accidently left on the breakfast table etc etc. For should the match goes to penalty kicks it will only be done by almost 6 in the morning, what with the medal presentation, interviews, replays etc. So there will be only enough time to shower, do the subuh prayer, have breakfast, send kids to school(hopefully the right school) and off to office praying very hard that there will not be a traffic jam. If there is one, then pray that you dont fall asleep and knock into the bumper of the car in front of you or worst still the bumper of a fan of the losing team.
So why do we keep doing this, year in-year out between May to July every year???
Do drop me something to share...
For the final, I think "Yang Biru" will win this one because in Moscow "Setan Merah" will be off colour. What ever it is lets enjoy life and deal with tomorrow after the match. If we are lucky the government will declare a public holiday....
