well i am all set for the opener today i am in work but have all the bier ready and with the sunny weather a barbeque for tomorrow this is what summers all about ps a friend of mine is at a wedding at 3 pm on saturday (when england kick off ) he is best man to a scottish pal who arranged this on purpose , lol (fairplay ) but to be honest i like watching most of the other group matches apart from the odd one etc. and being in europe decent times not as in the last world cup at 8 am etc ( just didn't seem correct ) this time i hoping the Spanish can get somewhere as every time they show they have the players but never seems to go the way for them , so come on Herme (i have them tipped to make it to the final ) oh well back to work for a bit soon be hometime

Well it was only really the foreigners that seemed to care about the cup/ (mainly because australia werent in it) But there was quite a bit of tension between the italians and the koreans after the itais got kicked out after a couple of dubious refereeing decisions (Totti off for diving and and offside goal for korea, among others) But it was great, i love the world cup. Best time of the year and how anyone can say that the olympics are bigger are just idiots ;D
