World Cup Fever!
Well not quite a fever just yet as I've only watched about 20 minutes of one game. But, I have been checking the results each day and am mentally preparing myself for some late nights/early mornings to come when Andy gets back on Sunday... because he definitely has World Cup fever. The games are on live here on free TV so we can watch from the comfort of the only heated room in the house, unfortunately with the time difference to South Africa the live game times are far from ideal... well slash that actually, it's really only the last game of the day that's at a shit time. The one that kicks off at 7:30pm South African time- so like maybe 1:30pm or something North American EST- translates to 4am here. The first two games go at 8:30pm and 11pm, which are not bad at all, they should make for a good night in all accounts... but 4am. Yuck.
Anyways, I was told that Spain was a favorite but after their loss to Switzerland yesterday I'm a little how do you say... comment ca veut dire WTF? haha Not to mention das Germans slaughtering of the Socceroos... there was big hype here about that game and then the Monday morning news was priceless! All those tired and sad faces of the people who stayed up and out in the bars and streets (there's a big, outdoor screen in the pedestrian mall in the CBD... who would want to sit in the winter cold at 4am to watch their shit soccer team? I do not know. Also many pubs have obtained a special license to stay open all night for the Cup) all night to watch them get destroyed! The best part of my Monday! Oh yeah and Argentina looks good today against Korea but they're a little sneaky too... could get interesting.
Although, wouldn't this world just be a better place if England won?
