People are calling in death threats to this poor guy.
"The prediction led to death threats as German fans called for Paul to be cooked and eaten.[19][20] In response, Spanish prime minister Jose Zapatero jokingly offered to send Paul official state protection, and the Industry Minister Miguel Sebastian called for Paul to be given safe haven in Spain."

Poor Paul!! But he's a real celebrity now, isn't he? LOL


So, the World Cup is over for my team, they're No. 3, like in 2006... But while everyone seemed to be happy about it four years ago, it seems like this time, the team and their fans are still somewhat disappointed. It was awesome today how they turned the match around - why couldn't they do that in the semi final?

So true!


Candace, that was funny! But of course the defeat in the semi final cannot be blamed on the referees, even though some of them made some very questionable decisions in this World Cup.
