World Cup 2010



World Cup season is here! It is driving all the football fans crazy. Everyone is watching World Cup, even if it is on the morning of a working day. World Cup 2010 was held at South Africa. Due to the time difference between Singapore and South Africa, World Cup matches are shown as late as 230am for a match.



Who watches World Cup? Not only working adults, but students as well.
Late matches deprived them of sleep and caused them to lose focus in work and school. People stay up till the morning of a working day, just to catch the match. This definately affects productivity of school and at work. When people sacrifice their sleep to watch the match, deep in the night which drags till the morning, they will not be able to concentrate in the day. World Cup fans may be too hooked up with the game that in school and at work, all the think of is to go home and watch the next World Cup matches.

Conversations in school and workplaces, will definately include World Cup. This affects productivity as well. This is because people lose focus on their work as they chat more and more on the topic "World Cup". I believe that this is an exciting topic which people will be discussing on. World Cup fans or anti-World Cup people will all be talking about it because it is the EVENT of the year. No one will miss World Cup, everyone will know about it. Hence, the conversations about World Cup cannot be avoided.


Also, World Cup may have given people an opportunity to start gambling and trying out their luck at the matches. Even after the World Cup ended, those people who gamble may not be able to cut the habit and continue to bet on other things such as TOTO and 4D. This is such a bad and harmful activity that World Cup can actually cause to people.

In conclusion, I feel that people should not get too crazy over the World Cup, but balance their fun time with serious school or work in the day. People should not indulge in harmful activity such as gambling even when World Cup have ended.
