World Cup Fever!

If you guys have been watching World Cup on Astro...

You should know that before the matches, during half time and after the matches, they will have this 2 dudes out from no where talk like they really pwn football big time. Like they're the best there is and they can predict the future of football. (Not something bad and it isn't their fault, it's their job.)

These 2 dudes are:

Shebby Singh (left) and Paul Masefield, the presenters for Astro's coverage of the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.

In case you're wondering, they're not gays.

These 2 dudes have to work pretty hard actually, covering the football matches LIVE! and have to work from 9 pm to 5 am in the morning everyday for this whole month. (I don't know if they've stayed up so late though. Or early in the morning for that matter.)

But they're living the life some of the football (World Cup) maniacs are hoping to live this whole month, which is getting paid to watch every single match. How good is that? You get paid to watch football and people have to listen all the sh*t you say on TV. LOL.

But some of us would be wondering... Who are these guys? Why on earth are they on TV? Why are they getting paid for watching football? WHY? WHY? WHY?

Well, I for one NEVER heard of their names. Ever. Probably I didn't watch football hardcore 24/7. Probably they're some super famous rockstars who has groupies (like me) and everyone thinks that they're the cooooooolest!

So I did my very own research on these dudes.

My 1st take on Paul Masefield was that he was lucky and he spoke good english.

Turns out that he was actually an ex-professional footballer who has represented the likes of Birmingham, Stockport and Preston before moving to Hong Kong. There he played for the Hong Kong selection side taking on the likes of Sampdoria, Inter Milan and the Yugoslavian national side. Now in Singapore, where Masefield plays professionally, the Midlander also owns his own company that acts as a coaching school for kids.

Well, he's not exactly the best footballer there is but he's still one. And he speaks good english. Mrs. Stanley would definitely *love* him!

Then we have Shebby Singh. He's not exactly the type of guy I'd picture commenting on football matches. He doesn't look like Larry King. And he's the one who's suppose to be the football expert.

First moment I saw him, I asked myself, "Who on earth is this guy?" and many other questions.

Then I found out, he's on Astro Soccastars. (No, it's not a typo. Astro don't really spell good.)

He has this photo of him on it.

Shebby Singh. Posing for Astro SoccaStars!

Ain't he the coolest?


This is another SoccaStars dude. His name is Azizul Abidin. I thought his picture's worth showing because it appears as though he's squeezing his tits abit too hard in the picture.


But according to my research, Mr. Shebby Singh is actually some professional Malaysian footballer too. And according to one of his achievements he has achieved during his footballing career was, (according to his Soccastars profile page here)
.

"Mempunyai sejarah karier dalam bola sepak yang cukup menarik."

Sounds awesome to me! ; )

But really, I have nothing against Mr. Paul Masefield or Mr. Shebby Singh. I like listening/watching to them do their thang on TV! =)


Enjoy World Cup, everybody!

Btw, anyone interesting to watch WC together as another form of 5K gathering? =) In addition to any parties or trips we're going to have, that is.
