C’mon guys, everyone was doing so well on the games last week! Is everyone else cooler than I am and have nifty places to watch? Am I the only dork at his computer in the wee hours listening to Tommy Smith’s distracting unplacable accent on ESPN?

Well, the kick’s away, so I’m ready for the game. As a sign of goodwill to our UK friends, of course I’ll be rooting hard for jolly ol’ England…especially when Beckham is touching the ball 🙂

I’m sitting alone in the living room of my apartment trying to be as quiet as possible watching the game. I’m tense as f\*\*k. Both teams are well matched. I’m a Brazil fan. Am I the only one here?

Cheers.
