Soccer Worldcup

[delphine]

Okay, I know this is a completely different topic, and honestly, I´m not that much a soccer fan, but still ... ;D

Soccer has the same importance in Germany as American Football has in the USA, y´a know?! So right now, with the Worldcup going on in South Africa, there´s nothing much more talked about here around

And I admit, I like the idea of 32 nations coming together, since this year African and Asian countries participate also. The USA have a team as well, by the way

So, just let me the pleasure to share this with you, okay? I´ll give you the updates and let´s see who wins ... me personally, I´d like to have the "no names" coming forward, just to change the things a bit.

Thanx

Well, there´s still a lot to be decided. But in some groups the outcome is already quite obvious. My german fellow citizens shudder now because of the lost game today, but hey, we have won one and there´s still one left, so nothing´s decided yet ... and congrats to USA, you´re getting better each year

Uhhh ... obviously, I can´t completely deny having been influenced by the soccer mentality here around ... Damn ...

LOL

[darklover]

I am not so much into Soccer but I can say that I saw on the news tonight the ref made a bad call against the USA goal and everyone is really upset about it.

[delphine]

I´ve updated the goal counting, check it out. Right now New Zealand is playing against Italy, and they Zealands made their first goal in the seventh minute!
