Too bad that england made it.
I'm looking forward to tonight's game. Duel of the brothers it seems. According to the biggest tabloid Jerome Boateng will play for Germany. (He's Ghana's Kevin-Prince Boateng's half brother.)
I don't really know who I want to win...

Dammit you, support your country (or location at least)! I know I would if Singapore wasn't ranked like #399 or something.

You're right. And of course I did once the game was on. But it is hard when all day long everyone is running around wrapped in flags and in the team's shirts and shit like that. It might be schizo, but as a german I have my bad feelings when the flag waving gets heavy.
Also I was referring to the two brothers in part. And Kevin-Prince is the one that almost won me over for Ghana. Damn, what a talented bastard!
And, damn, what an amazing game. One hour of pure adrenalin! Wow!
Are there enough Singaporeans for a football team? I thought they were either busy thinking up stuff to forbid or enforcing the laws or cleaning everything.

Yeah it was a great game, Ghana looked like they were gonna win at one point. And yeah we do have a football team, it's made up mostly of people who weren't born in Singapore though.

I'm vaguelly supporting England, but only because my workmates are all really mad football fans, and we all get to leave work early if there's a match on.

Wow. Italy v Slovakia. Easily the best game of the tournament so far. This is what the world cup is all about.

^ Indeedy. Should have been a lot more comfortable for the Slovaks than it was though.

Simply amazing! Am I right?!?!?
And our first game is against Ghana. That should be an easy one
(don't make me look like a fool USA!). I can't wait to watch England vs. Germany too. I'm hoping it's as epic as it should be!

Don't underestimate Ghana. When Germany played against them, they were an extremely effective team and easily par with Germany. That Germany won was basically a mixture of luck and German-ness (discipline, triumph of the will, tanks etc..) The US can make it, I think but it wil definitely not be an easy game.
And Germany vs. England. I think everybody was hoping for that, at least the papers were already rousing emotions before it was clear they'd play against each other. It's funny how they do it. 'cause it would be in bad taste to write against the old enemy the tommies, known for child abuse, mindless drinking and schizophrenity, what they do is much more perfidious. They just quote what the english papers write - those in turn have no problem with writing what they think about the old enemy the Krauts, known for bad manners, engineering and emotionless enforcement of
genocide football games. So they can arouse the same emotions and everybody has the bonus of feeling much better and sofisticated.
It's going to be so much fun!
