There were countless times that i jumped to the edge of my seat as Becks or another star was inside the box with the goal in there sights. The fitness level of these guys is also amazing. Although i don't think i could ever really sit and watch a professional soccer game, the World Cup has changed my view on the sport and piqued my interest into the world of soccer. i was sitting in a delivery room today with a friend of mine whose wife was minutes away from birthing there first child. They told us we would have to leave for the delivery and i found myself jogging to the waiting room to see the outcome of penalty kicks. Then while holding the new child, my eyes were glued to the last 2 minutes of the Brazil/France game. My priorities were soon recentered and i enjoyed the first minutes of a new life. Great day.

I'd wear my Robbie Keane jersey, but Ireland couldn't score ONE freakin' goal IN DUBLIN against the Ukraine to qualify for the WC Finals. ARGH!!!! I guess I’ll have to wear my Rooney jersey then.

"Failure to wash hands following urination!" Come on, those are red cards! Brilliant idea, by the way. In World Cup news, how sick was that goal by Ronaldo in the Ghana game!?! Jaw dropping. The extra weight doesn't seem to be affecting his amazing creativity with the ball. I'm very much looking forward to the two games tomorrow...although my girlfriend will be conspiring to keep me from the television. Thank you TiVo! We can watch the games together after we get back from the beach!! The England vs. Portugal game is actually a rematch of their Euro '04 clash in Lisbon. The greatest football game I've ever seen, of course I'm biased because I was actually sitting in the stadium. And then we got to party, literally, until the sun came up with our wonderful Portuguese hosts. An unforgettable night. If their game tomorrow comes even close to matching that game it will be awesome. And the French might actually have a shot at the Brazilians. But England and Brazil are my picks. Germany over Italy and England over Brazil in the semis. England takes the cup in Berlin to get some sweet revenge for dubya-dubya two! “Lowering airplane seat into tall man’s knees — Big Time Yellow Card!”
