It's pretty quiet around here. Anyone except me watching the matches in Brazil?
I know some of you do. Let's share our thoughts and impressions.
And of course root for your favorite team.
Or let the heat off a bit

No idea. If, he probably is into UK teams like most HongKongers.
But I`d like to know that. _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

Woah, what a match between Oranje and Spain. Ok, there have been some ... ahem ... unlucky decisions by the referee, but wow what energy! Robben fantastic! _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

I know, but unfortunately it`s 3am German time. You know what, I`ll try to keep my fingers crossed in my sleep. Good luck to Japan! _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

Ah you lucky soccer fans. Too bad soccer is not that popular in US, but I did manage to find a Hispanic TV channel that broadcasts every World Cup game .
Have to work M-F during game time though .
My crazy watching soccer game days were so long ago, when I was cheering with bunch of male classmates during school years . Don't think I would do the same these days .
Good luck with your favorite team . |

Hi Yitian
I mutate to an soccer fan on such special occasions ( and watching a fraction only....for time difference )
Watching worlds best teams and their ball-artists make fun- once you started to watch
Sorry for Japan, Yuka ......nevertheless BRAVO Honda ! Wish the Japanese team more of good luck for the following matches !
For you Heike, the big finger-crossing starts tomorrow
Guess it will be an exciting match...Germany:Portugal !.( May our Austrian "export" Alaba be most successfull for your team ! ( given he gets the chance to play ) |

Aww, so sorry for Japan. I couldn`t see it as mentioned before. Chin up Yuka, it`s not over yet!
Also England lost to Italy wow.
I was surprised by Costa Rica, a well played match. They stayed patient and waited for their chances.

What can I say Helga. Alaba is playing for my favorite club Bayern Munich NOT for Germany. If Austria made it into the final round, he`d be there as well - with the Austrian team. So I guess he won`t be able to help us tomorrow.
Thanks for your crossed fingers!
Yitian, we are no experts here just having fun discussing what we`ve seen and cheer for each one`s team. Same for me as for Helga, if I can see the world`s best teams play I take the chance - if working hours permit. I played for about 8 years in a women`s team about 20 years ago. Maybe that`s the reason for my enthusiasm.
Due to work, I won`t be able to see much of today`s games. Probably the second half of France - Honduras. _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

I feel guilty a little because I had World Cup special lunch yersterday with friends, and chose "Cote d'Ivoire style Lemmon Chicken".
It looked good.

Eri, it's going to be tough if we have to eat
around 32 dishes from each country. Haha.
Heike and Helga, I know it's not over yet.
Looking forward to watching Portugal VS Germany, too !! |
