football fever!
oh yes i know that the world cup is already over with italy came out as the winner. but it was not the reason for me to write this article. this afternoon, when i was walking accross the casablanca street (dendie have a great humor about the name) to find my favorite internet cafe, i saw some kids playing football. they were not in the football field nor any field, they were playing it in the ex-building area between KH.Royani st. and Gado-gado Boplo.Suddenly i remember when i was a kid, back in semarang. we had a field that we ussually use for fotball in the afternoon. but i was the worst kid in terms of football (actually i still do, that's why i always be a defender when i play football, because it doesn't need lots of skills. hahaha). i have no skill of football. al i know is hit the ball hardly and tackle your enemy (if needed, tackle their foot).

but we had a (not very) nice field at semarang. but these kids, they don't have any filed to play. they play everywhere. since there's not much public area in jakarta. everywhere is buildings. and if you notice, they are kids from SES C/D family. kids from family with SES A/B will play football in (guess what???) playstation 2!! (just to remind you, playstaton 3 are coming).
those kids (i mean from SES C/D) are amazing. they can play with any tools but still they can enjoy it. they are not palying with plastic guns, they are playing with banana leaf-gun, but still they can make it fun. it's amazing how they use their imagination.
back to the football, the governor of DKI jakarta just brought down menteng stadium (home base of persija-jakarta football club in indonesian football league). he said that he will build city garden in ex menteng stadium. but the minister of sport is angry with that decision and he said that he will sew the governor to the court. what a mess in indonesia football!!!
how many football field in jakarta? it's around 36. but they can only use 16 field. i wonder, where will thoe kids play when we don't have any football field anymore. they can't play in the top of building right?
