World Cup 2010.

[RICHARD]

So, come on.

Pick your teams and let's go.

I love the WC -I am not a soccer fan, per se, but I had tons of fun when it was held in the U.S.

Off the top?

Let's have a trouble free event and I have to laugh about what the head of security in South Africa said about having the U.S. advance from their grouping.

He wanted the U.S. to crap out early because the rumor was that security was going to be difficult- the prez of the U.S. was to attend the event if the team advanced.

Hmmmmm,

I want us to advance, but why not send Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi if there is any danger to be anticipated?

I digress.

11 days.....Waka, Waka!

After the US, I am obligated to root for Argentina, because of my Argentina friend. But if I am at a certain sandwich shop, I know enough to comment on how Brazil is doing ... makes living in a culturally diverse metropolitan area interesting at WC time!

[RICHARD]

Good day today.

Thank you Soccer Jesus for giving the U.S. a tie.
The late game is the Aussies and the Germans!

Argentina for me too! My family is from there. Go USA too.!

Germany vs. Australia 4-0 tonight!! Yay!!! Awesome match!!

Ha ha, right now, you can hear people blowing the horns of their cars outside, a habit that started during the World Cup in Germany 2006.

You are in for a month long treat!

Italy and Paraguay tomorrow.

Well, I have to say... most matches I saw so far were not so great. Top teams like Portugal, Brazil, England or Italy showed a surprisingly poor performance.

I may be biased, but the Germans were the best team so far!

Why doesn't that surprise me?

Pool play always is slow at the beginning....hang on, the best is yet to come.

-----------------

One of the neatest things is to listen/watch the games in espanol!

One announcer described a goalie like this...

(the goalie wore a yellow jersey)

The goalie looked like a canary as he hopped from stick to stick during the game.

The stick being the upright goal posts.

Very descriptive and funny.

Kirsten

No, I agree with you

[Kirsten]

Wow, Spain was defeated by Switzerland...

Carole,

I have to say something here and it's funny, don't worry.

Here in the U.S. there would be a GIANT uproar should a team be named the "All Whites".


I watch all kinds of sports and catch the Aussie Rules Football and Rugby games/matches when I can.

I do love the names of the teams down there because the names would cause turmoil here in the States.

The name of the team could be derived from the kind of foot fungus found in the locker room showers, yet, some idiotic club/organization/action group would try to make it into a racial, stereotypical or gender based protest.


Go NZ!!!!

[carole]

Really, well i guess it will happen here in time, we have the famous all blacks too Richard, and they are mostly darker skinned people, and remember i am not an Aussie matey, a kiwi remember that won't you?

Yes, I remember!

It was just a general comment about the "way things are" in your part of the world.

If I offend in some other way?



Talk to Wom, he's closer to you!

Mexico and France, later on!!
