Hmmmm, we all had the exact same idea at once. Do we want to designate one of these as the official discussion thread? ---

Beckham’s steal and explosion of speed is my highlight of the first 10 minutes. ---

Ruadh, Actually, these new jerseys are kind of ugly. ---

Since the last game I watched before this one was the US/Mexico match, I think I’m appreciating this one all the more. Brazil looks so aware on attack, precise passing, good positioning…after watching the US team score entirely on the counterattack, this is quite a change! ---

Scholes and Ronaldinho … there’s a combination for David Cronenberg. ---

I can’t believe I’m up this early for a sporting event. But I am, and my nerves are already shot. You’d swear the BBC annoucers were getting off on shouting “Renaldo! Rivaldo!” I keep expecting them to shout “Take me, big boys!” ---

Hey Tars, you got work tomorrow, what you doing up so late? At least I’m a lazy bum with nothing to do so I can afford to stay up for the game. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL I love that, as I’m typing, the breakaway, the goal. ---

Waiting for Taxi to air at 12:30. Watching the Spanish Channel as they have the best announcers. (and a spaceship flies across the screen and shoot lasers when someone scores a _gol_.) ---

You got Univision at the lab, Tars? I’d take the Spanish announcers over ours, even if I couldn’t understand a word they were saying. ---
