World Cup Soccer hi-lites ... Lots of complaints about the the "din of horns" created by fans causing players to not be able to hear the ref's whistle, bla, bla. HORNS are a beauty in music and DIN and anyways its cultural; leeeeve 'em be. The World Cup is almost always full of surprises - not wise to bet on a winner too soon. At my gym, thais were crying in droves as they lost money on their bet against USA in the game against England. Emerging strong teams thus far IMO are, Germany and Holland. I doubt the US could beat either of these 2. Germany's game against Denmark was beautiful with 4 goals scored - the joymans did almost nothing wrong, pure precision clockwork just like their Porsches (my personal fav auto, always has been, always will be) I'm not impressed by Italy's performance thus far, so this team is on the backburner for now, IMO. Coming up today I get to watch my 2 favs, Brazil and Ivory Coast. Ivory coast is a poor, poor country of huge strife and struggle. Top-notch player Didier Drogba has done alot for 'em in trying to lift their spirits and put a smile on their faces and take their attention off war and mayhem. Soldiers of both sides lay down their weapons and drank beer together as they watched a game between Ivory and Madagascar. But a lone striker can carry an entire team?
South Africa's world cup song is nice, but this one is my personal choice and would be better Its pure jive music and has deep roots and the female chorus voice is thrilling to the core ..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaD409EPIRQ --------------- remember Paul Simon and Chevy Chase? yeah baby, then dig this one .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULjCSK0oOlI --------------- Paul Simon does Township Jive with Laysmith Black Mambazo and Miriam Makeba (latter 2 performed in California many moons ago) (instant cure for Depression ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeO0CJqjsgU --------------- if that only partially cures Depression, this one will cinch it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJliTb_dFRw --------------- finally, just 2 ordinary young uns from my #2 fav state, Louisiana, zydeco music being high on my list of cures for the blues ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB9SJ3kH3Fw&feature=related

Why is the world Cup such a big deal? (couldn't have said it better) http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Afri...-Cup-101-Why-is-the-World-Cup-such-a-big-deal --------------------- who was the lone american cheering the North Korean side? Yours truly. Just luv their courage - no fans, no supporters, sanctions up the yazoo, 1000 to 1 odds. Fck the politics. And they held their own quite well against Brazil. That's what I call BALLS!!! http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Afri...ccer-soldiers-hold-firm-deny-Brazil-goal-fest

South Africa lost badly to Uruguay. SA fans walked out of the stadium way before the game was over; coach in trouble .. just plain bad news if the host country is in trouble .. US team talks about their stuff (many clips) Spain got screwed by Sissy Swissy. http://g.sports.yahoo.com/soccer/wo...rica-uruguay-analysis-20369221#video=20364988 http://g.sports.yahoo.com/soccer/wo...aces-suspension--fbintl_ro-sfcoach061610.html
USA is down 2 goals against slovenia in ongoing first half. Surprised to see goalkeeper Tim Howard so flatfooted. Slovenia looks strong. Argentina vs S. Korea was a fabulous game (4-1) - Argentina is now definitely a contender as they've woken up after a lousy, dopey first game. Germany lost today to Serbia (0-1). Striker, Miroslav Klose was redcarded. Without him Deutschland is mediocre. Spain, a major favorite, lost. Another shocker was France losing. One surprise after another - that's the world cup. Better to just enjoy than waste money on betting.
