You got your priorities right! :)
Is it soccer or football in Canada?

It's soccer unfortunately. I'm trying to change that, I insist on calling 'foot'.
I missed today's first match (went to see Cosmopolis) but I'm watching Germany vs Portugal. Lots of missed opportunities but a very exciting game so far with Germany dominating. Podolski and Ronaldo are two of my faves of course. Poor Pepe, missed it by a couple of inches!

That's sooo cool. I'm also quickly checking in during half-time. Cool to think you watch it at the same time, thousands of miles apart. :)
For the records:
Russia beats Czech Republic 4:1 (Friday)
Denmark beats Netherlands 1:0
I didn't find the match too exciting so far, except for Peppe's almost goal at the end of the first half. *phew*

Baseball is probably third in popularity (playing, not watching) though I am constantly surprised at lacrosse's popularity.
Canadian football - probably quite low, behind some winter sports.

Thanks Roland and Gil for the info about the soccer resp. football term!

Phew?! I'm rooting for Portugal! Where are you located?
Whoa! Great header from Gomez!
Penthesilea:
*phew* (yes)
That was more luck than anything!
Germany won 1:0 over Portugal.
