World Cup 2014

As I said, England are pretyy cr*p right now. Surprised about Spain though. Really enjoyed seeing the US coverage of football on ESPN. The commentator on the matches is a well know UK commentator and he's fantastic, but the half time stuff from your American guys is really funny as the language used is completely unlike what I'm used to. What we found is that many more Americans are into the sport than we thought would be. Bars in NYC were full of Americans watching all the big games and in Vegas the US match was celebrated by everyone.

Unlucky against Portugal yesterday, still think you'll get through with a draw against Germany.

if the US and Germany are smart, they'll come to an unspoken agreement to draw 0-0 and both move on.

Honestly that's unlikely. Germany playing too well. Plus it may be a "revenge" type of thing given that the US coach is German...

Oh man,... that would be awesome! They should!

I gotta admit I've been watching and yes, it's pretty exciting. I don't have cable or dish so I can't get ESPN. But the local Univision station runs two or three games a day. I can't understand hardly anything they're saying but the games have been good overall.

And yeah, having the USA giving up that last goal with 30 seconds to go was a real heartbreaker!

Yup. It's been soccer fever here. But it's not normally like this. Only for the World Cup. Americans still generally don't care about soccer otherwise. I wish they would do more to promote MLS though. Go Earthquakes! I enjoy watching it.

That said, yesterday was a heartbreaker. Oh well. Good game though.

Well, I watch a shitload of British Drama and Crime shows, and I often have to keep English Subtitles turned on to follow many of them. Crikey! Even the bloody Aussies are easier to understand, mate!

Many people bitch about dealing with Indian tech support centers, but I pity the poor support guy who has to deal with all the dialects of English he's confronted with.
