Paul the octopus has called it again! Yayyyy Deutschland!

I was expecting this to be a close game, not a complete blowout. And Messi walks away with no goals this entire tournament.

I do expect Spain to trounce on Paraguay this afternoon, but we'll see how that ends up.

to convince you how nuts Germany goes over this sport...

Germany has a psychic octupus that predicts the outcomes of games.

Psychic. Octopus.

You know, I was all prepared to go on this political tirade this afternoon, but I think, in the interest of not pissing off people, I shall keep my mouth shut and talk about soccer instead.

Both games turned out as I expected as far as the winner, but both were higher scoring than I expected. And they should quit bitching about England's disallowed goal, because they still got their asses kicked, and it wouldn't have made a difference anyway. But, as with all sports, people love to gripe about referees. That's one job I'd never want.
Next week's game should be real interesting.

If anyone wants Hoshi icons (not that I imagine there's a big audience for them), you're welcome to the ones I made for twelvecolonies.

Even Lance Bass is tweeting about soccer. Lol.

Ghana just played a better game than ths US did. They earned that win.

This is where I was last weekend for the Brazil game:

I've been in a foul mood today. This is what I get for going back to work after a day of fun and sun. I had to organize the notebooks of an attorney who just retired. This guy kept every draft he ever printed, which is so annoying. My regular attorney generates a lot of paperwork, but he will not ever keep drafts. It's also a little difficult to organize something by subject matter when you aren't familiar with the subject matter.

My part (in my hair. on top of my head.) is sunburnt. I specifically tied my hair back so that I wouldn't have a part, but my ponytail fell out sometime in the afternoon, and that was about the end of that. I do have a nice tan otherwise, which is a rare happening. :)

In good news, the US not only won their game today, they won their group! Whee! I'm bummed that England is in and not Slovenia, but England vs. Germany should make for an interesting match.

Pooped after a long day of not working at all. Yay Schlitterbahn! And the lines weren't bad at all. I think maybe the fact that the park was closed only 2 days ago b/c of flooding in New Braunfels may have something to do with that.


AHAHAHAHA France lost. That's what they get for all their past happenings thusfar this cup.

Let's go Slovenia! Beat England tomorrow!

As I had imagined, the crowd at Cuatros (same place I was at Friday morning) was much rowdier for this game than the Germany game. There were guys with drums and lots of "ole" and such cheering. I think there was one table of African fans, those poor guys. I really expected that game to be closer considering how not so hot Brazil played against North Korea.

This morning I got up extra early and went to an outdoor sports bar that was open specially for the World Cup...at 6:30AM! They had breakfast tacos and whatever you wanted to drink. My email list notified me that they were showing the Germany game this morning, so I decided why not? It was a lot of fun, actually. All German fans except for one lady wearing a Serbia t-shirt. I bet she had fun gloating. Although the main reason Germany lost that game was because of shitty reffing. Nine yellow cards???

In other signs of the coming apocolypse, England may not advance at all. They couldn't manage a point against Algeria of all teams? Although the advancing system is a little complicated...
FIFA says this:


Got all that?

I don't even have to have my eyes on the game to know what's going on, I can tell what's going on just by the inflexion in the announcer's v. I ♥ Univision.

A group of people are meeting up at 6:30 Thursday to watch the Germany game live/eat breakfast tacos. I am not a morning person, but I want to go. (I mean, hey. It's pretty close to my office so my commute will be shorter, plus I can get breakfast for like $2.)

I uploaded a new icon to celebrate what is likely to become my latest obsession of the month. Why yes, that *is* the actual World Cup trophy. :)

(It should be noted I'm standing 5 feet behind the table in this picture. It's tiny, and they were using camera tricks to make in look bigger.)

I CANNOT BELIEVE FRANCE BEAT BRAZIL!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I am angry.
