Football....er, soccer....crazy

World Cup Football (Soccer for the Americans) gets exciting by the minute! Are you watching? Of course the team I was rooting for - Korea - has been eliminated, after what was a frustrating and heart-breaking match against Switzerland, no thanks to the ref. Still, what great football is being played day in and day out. Now that my team is out, who I root for changes on a match-by-match basis. Today I had hoped Mexico would beat Argentina....alas, that was not the case. I really had no preference between Germany and Sweden, but Germany moves on. Tomorrow? Well, we'll see. I have no particular favorites. I'd like to see Australia go far mostly because of their head coach; I would expect Brazil to go far; Germany appears to be doing extremely well on their home soil; and then of course, way to go Ghana! I'll be watching as much as possible.
