WORLD CUP 2010

[Giles]

I have to profess, I do not come from a great footballing family.  My father lives in South Africa and he's "escaped" to Greece for the duration…

Tomorrow is probably the only day I can devote entirely to soccer/futbol until the end of June.  I must apologize now to the Queen's subjects of the board.  My fanaticism is going to be heaped upon USA side of the UK/USA match.  Very much looking forward to it

I haven't gotten to see either team play but I hear France players think they're hot shit and Uruguay are really getting up for the game.  I'm curiouis to see how quickly France gives up defending a counter attack that Uruguay is reluctant to use.  Can't wait to see their offensive strategy though.

DUDES.  I walked into the breakroom here at the office to discover the flatscreen which I've never seen powered up and had therefore assumed to be of the cardboard variety kept at furniture emporiums, WAS ON AND TELEVISING THE URUGUAY/FRANCE MATCH.  Needless to say, I've been on a two hour lunch.

Oh, and it's scoreless after the first half, for all those still cut off at work.

Guess I will be up at 6:30am to watch Argentina!!!

Lol, a coworker just informed me that she'll be up at 4:30AM to watch Greece.  Ya'll are simply fanatical.  I thought I was dedicated waking up by 11:30…

It's an omen.  Woke up this morning and Mrs G spotted this lantern which had landed in our garden over night:

Bring it on…..G

Unless England get kicked out very soon, I'm going to get extremely fat over the next 4 weeks:

Hopefully, that vegetarian cake is also the prefered energy food for the whole UK team. 

[Beatle]

I still can't believe how many fat chances Argentina missed today…

[ronaldlsh]

Yea, can't believe how close Messi was to scoring! He played not bad, but just not his day.
