Damn it.. I wanted to post that result as I'm from Spain (well I'm half spanish and half italian). I usually cheer on the Italians, but lets hope that the Spanish get through this time. This was nonetheless a great game. Xabi Alonso and David Villa can be thanked for this one...

And don't forget Fernando Torres. Who is only one year older then me... what a hottie...

Germany played a really poor match actually... lots of poor passing... they play against Ecuador (on the 20th) that defeated Poland with much greater ease.

Germany really needs to get their act together...

Agreed on that! They were no good.
But they won anyway. Phew!!  ;)

Yes, but if I was Germany.. I'd be most concerned about Ecuador. Ecuador got two goals against Poland with no problem...

Today:  :D :D

Australia - Japan : 3 - 1

Czech Rep - USA: 3 - 0


Where are all the Aussie and Czech fans out there??  :D


We're here.. kinda..

I'm just not a soccer fan, you know? But I love it when my country kicks some international butt, so
 GO BOYS!!!!!!!
And minorly peeved that my dad (who will watch ANYTHING provided there are more than 3 people per team and they have matching uniforms...) kept me up LATE the night the game was on by his random "YES!" and "kick the ball!!!!!" cries..
Chut up!

Yeah, Ecuador. That is going to be quite a task. And I don't really know whom to cheer for. Those people are so nice!  :)

This week I had the wonderful opportunity to talk to some journalists from Ecuador who are staying with their national team in Bad Kissingen right now. They are so happy there, it's amazing. They love it!

I just figured out how to post audio files, and I thought I should share this. Here's two of the guys I interviewed. One of them works for "Canal Uno", a big television company in Ecuador and the other for a monthly Ecuadorian sports magazine and the news agency "Reuters." The quality isn't quite what it was on the original recording, but I had to make a compromise in order to be able to upload longer sound bites...
Enjoy!
