Yay! I have really been anticipating the World Cup... and now it's finally here!

Angola, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Tunisia, Asia, Iran, Japan, Korea Republic, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay, Australia, Croatia, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Serbia & Montenegro, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Ukraine, Costa Rica, Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, USA...

I have no favorites... all of these teams are playing fairly well, and mostly all of the matches are fun to watch.

Wikipedia has an excellent article on the event with schedules and other nifty information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_FIFA_World_Cup

So, what do you all think? Which team is the best bet at winning the cup? Which flag do you have flying in the wind on your car? Which flag have you painted or drawn on yourself or on paper millions of times?

What do you have to say about FIFA 2006?

Theoretically just before the final. The odds will be 2:1 if you didn't place a bet before.

Just when I was looking forward to the game Brazil-Spain, the French fraternity of seniority decided otherwise. What a bummer...

Even though Brazil-France seems like a waste of time, let's hope Kaka & Co do what they have to do and send that bunch of old stogies with fogies back home.

Aux armes, citoyens! (I will have to endure their silly anthem one more time)

Lasciatemi cantare
con la chitarra in mano
lasciatemi cantare
sono un italiano

Buongiorno Italia
gli spaghetti al dente
e un partigiano come Presidente
con l'autoradio sempre
nella mano destra
e un canarino sopra la finestra
Buongiorno Italia
con i tuoi artisti
con troppa America sui manifesti
con le canzoni con amore
con il cuore
con piu' donne sempre meno suore
Buongiorno Italia
buongiorno Maria
con gli occhi pieni di malinconia
buongiorno Dio
lo sai che ci sono anch'io

Lasciatemi cantare
con la chitarra in mano
lasciatemi cantare
una canzone piano piano
Lasciatemi cantare
perche' ne sono fiero
sono un italiano
un italiano vero

Buongiorno Italia
che non si spaventa
e con la crema da barba
alla menta
con un vestito gessato sul blu
e la moviola la domenica in TV
Buongiorno Italia
col caffe' ristretto
le calze nuove nel primo cassetto
con la bandiera in tintoria
e una 600 giu' di carrozzeria
Buongiorno Italia
buongiorno Maria
con gli occhi pieni di malinconia
buongiorno Dio
lo sai che ci sono anch'io

Lasciatemi cantare
con la chitarra in mano
lasciatemi cantare
una canzone piano piano
Lasciatemi cantare
perche' ne sono fiero
sono un italiano
un italiano vero.
La la la la la la la la...

And to the Germans, there will be another try-out in 4 years :) In the meanwhile....


Junge, komm' bald wieder, bald wieder nach Haus'!
Junge, fahr' nie wieder, nie wieder hinaus!
Ich mach' mir Sorgen, Sorgen um Dich.
Denk' auch an morgen, denk' auch an mich!

I just watched the game.

Italy, in two minutes, scores two goals. All I see are the unhappy and sullen German fans. Some are sobbing while others are in plain shock. Meanwhile, the screaming and jovial Italians are waving their little flags with such joy.

How sad it must be to have your country, the host your idols, lose and get knocked off a prestigious world championship.

Then there is Portugal and France. There is hope that Portugal will win, sending the French packing.

Sunday will be a real kicker with Italy. Viva Italia!

And he was pronounced the top player! I believe he was provoked, but doesn't the fair play count?
