I HATE FOOTBALL!

So does my wife, but for some weird and wonderful reason she wants to watch the World Cup.

Talk about role-reversal!

Hehe... Hm. What: Now we _can't_ talk about results? The game USA vs. Czech Rep. is in its final minutes and I _want_ to talk about the result... *grin* Well, okay: If you don't want to know the result, don't read below the next line.

SPOILER...

Okay. I think that at the beginning of the game, after the first Czech goal, the USA didn't even look that bad. The end result maybe doesn't reflect the game completely, but I guess the USA have to admit that there simply was much more class to the Czechs' game. 0:3 might sound harsh, though... Game finished now, so that's the end result, as well.

BUT OF COURSE!! I've known this since I was a wee lad.

I was just harassing CQ as per the daily usual.

To add, I still to this day don't understand why it's called "football" when referring to American football if the foot is barely ever used.

Btw.: Italy vs. Ghana is quite certainly the best match at the World Cup 2006 so far. Let's hope that the second half will bring more goals - but otherwise just more of the same. 's been good! (1:0 for Italy so far.)

Okay. Second half s*cks. Those should've been _two_ penalties for Ghana.
