Beautiful World Cup girls supporting their national teams.

Many thought men concentrate on football while girls watch the players (especially good looking ones). This is only partially true as there are actually many beautiful World Cup girls for guys to look at 🙂

Our PM Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak showed who is boss when the premier jokingly rejected Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin’s medical certificate (MC) tweet. @Khairykj had earlier tweeted to @NajibRazak at 5.56am on Friday, following the opening World Cup 2014 match between Brazil and Croatia: “Boss, I have a high fever. My body aches and I haven’t been able to wake up since yesterday. Sorry I can’t work today, I will send my MC slip tomorrow. #CubaNasib (#TryingMyLuck).” Najib replied later in the day: “@KhairyKJ Glad you felt well enough to come for cabinet meeting #MCDitolak (#MCRejected).”

This tweet serves as a lesson for those who thought of getting MC after staying up at night to watch the football for your boss might not accept your MC. LOL

So, which team are you rooting for? Who you think will win the World Cup?
