World Cup

**Kirsten** · 06-10-2006, 05:21 AM

I'm supporting Germany, of course, and it's exciting that the soccer World Cup is in my country.

People here were very happy with the 4:2 result yesterday; and the goals were truly beautiful. There were huge World Cup parties here everywhere, and this was just the beginning.

I will watch England : Paraguay this afternoon.

BTW, I heard that Victoria Beckham arrived in Germany now, and here's a joke going around these days:

Q:: Why do the Germans hope that England will stay in the tournament as long as possible?

A.: Because Victoria Beckham will boost the German economy by going shopping here!

Poor Posh.

I have been in London yesterday and missed the game completely. I had to stand quite some stuff by my co-workers in London

My German boss called me and asked when I'll be back. I said at 8 p.m. He said "BUT YOU KNOW WHAT'S ON THEN??????" And I said "Yes- but I didn't know it was in my contract to have to watch it

"

I'm a nerd- I would love a team from a very small and unknown country to win- but I have no idea who that could be

Yeah! although it's a really cold day, everybody is outside celebrating now! I rather stay warm in my house, browsing PT

I agree with you, Messi is only 19 years old, and he's already such a great player!

Oh silly me you said it was cold today. I was wondering how it could be cold but you are south of the equator so your seasons are different duh. Silly me. It gets cold in Argentina? I didn't think it would. Hmm

Well... the temperature is about 10ºC (50ºF) now . Maybe you wouldn't consider that 'cold', but for us, it's quite freezing!
