England lost today, 4 - 1 to Germany, a humiliating defeat. I'm devastated but, hey, Germany deserved the win, so good on them.
I'm now looking forward to a South Korea / Ghana final...

Telemarketers (+ World Cup Fever 4)
So here i am, at 6:45 on a Sunday evening, in the middle of making my dinner, when the phone rings. A gentleman with a foreign accent wanted to sell "me and my family" something -- i don't know what, i didn't let him get that far. I exploded all over the poor bugger instead, waxed wroth, and slammed the phone down.
I mean, i was at a crucial and sensitive point in the cooking process: i was about to turn the stove on and crack open the TV dinner LOL
OK, i realise we've all got to make a living, but telemarketers must be the most detested group in the western world; why would anyone enter the profession?
On a happier note, it was New Zealand 1, Italy 1 in the World Cup today -- a real kick in the teeth for the Italians

World Cup Fever 3
Watched Denmark vs Cameroon at the pub this afternoon -- best game i've seen so far, or, at least, the first one i've seen where the winning team deserved their win.

World Cup Fever 2
Or, as my friend Jen called it, "World Cup Fifa." Hi, Jen!
Watched Uruguay vs South Africa yesterday and in my far from humble opinion, South Africa wuz robbed. Their goalkeeper should never have received the red card -- he stuck out his foot to stop the ball, the Uruguayan player just happened to be there at the time and tripped over it. But that killed it for the South Africans.
They were down a goal at the time and they might have pulled it out of the fire, but losing their only trained goalkeeper was a loss they were never able to overcome and it was a nasty 3-0 defeat.
And, incidentally, am i wrong in thinking that the Uruguayans have studied the Italians well, in that they have learned how to take dives and roll around on the grass in agony?

World Cup Fever Strikes!
I don't have TV at home, so for my fixes i have to go to Kelsey's pub. It's a tough life.
I watched England vs. the U.S.A. on Saturday -- "the hand of clod" indeed! -- and Italy vs. Paraguay this afternoon, and i really wanted Paraguay to win.... But it was not to be.
Not that i'm a huge fan of Paraguay, i just don't like Italy.
The team, that is.
