FIFA World Cup Football/Soccer!!!
Penthesilea:
It's that time again!
Time for the FIFA World Championship - whoo-hooo :D
There's thrilling matches to see (ok, sometimes ::) ;)),
lots of noise from the Vuvuzelas
- and plenty good looking men.
Reason enough for BetterMostians to follow the contest?
Share the games you've seen, your favorite stories around football/soccer
and pictures you like :D.
Penthesilea:
I'll start: the Germans beat my poor Aussies 4:0 last Sunday :-\. I was neutral on the game, but felt bad for "my" Aussies. The Aussies won my heart four years ago, when the World Championship was in Germany (and we've talked on BM about it - wow, that long ago? :o). This year, I don't know yet which team I'll be cheering for, so I start cheering for the team I liked best last time (Australia). And of course, I'm also cheering for Germany.
And for England, which was my favorite team for many years, and even for the US, because of all my US Brokie friends :).
The US are playing right now against Slovenia (and they're lying back 0:1).
Germany played earlier today and lost 0:1 against Serbia. Oh well.
Here are some pics of the game:
The best of the game was the sight of one player's chest when they exchanged their jerseys after the game :o.
Of course I didn't find a pic of that. *grumble* ;) :laugh:

The Kiwis (New Zealand) drew 1- 1 with Slovakia and the country went wild as it was the first point NZ has ever won in a world cup. I think they were last in the cup in the 1980's. Then a major Australian Newspaper tried to claim the point for Australasia. That went down real bad over here and all Aussie expats like me are ducking for cover.
However NZ next meet Italy so I do not hold much hope but you never know.

Those horns are AWFUL! lol
They sound like the droning from a huge swarm of bees. I had to turn my TVs volume down last weekend during the England/U.S.A. match. :P
