Sorry that should have read "kits on" Kits being the clothing. Shirts and shorts.
Bubba - I'll be downloading that just as soon as I get a chance.

Well singapore is world cup crazy. The only reason it is not promoted in the US is that the cable stations are too greedy to show it. There is too little time for commercials. European football is nonstop so there is no time for commercials unlike American football where there is more commercial time than play time.

Frenzy is starting here now. The English/Irish pub bars are opening at 6:00am with live broadcasts. An outbreak of football flu is expected to hamper production for a few weeks.

Okay first two games over. The hosts, Germany managed to overcome poor Costa Rica 4-2.
Poland (were seen as a bit of a threat) lost 2-0 in Equador.
The game for real starts today. The glory boys. The three lions play their first game.
Come on England, Rule Britiannia. I'll be routing for your boys "The Old Colonials" too.

Hey Guys
guess I now know why there hasn't been much hype over there for the greatest game in the world.
Its only the first game and they were one of the favourites.
Italy next Come on where's the Star Spangled Banner??
I've got one here and I'll fly it with the Cross of St. George.

I like both, but can only take World Cup in small doses same way with tennis.
I have a small attention span with sports.
I'm a baseball fan though, started in the 80's with Tug McGraw.
Must be in the DNA, cause my daughter loves his son Tim. Gave her a calander last year of him she loves it, she put it in her keepsake box.

I wish I understood Baseball. Come to that I wish I understood American Football.
So many people coming and going on the pitch. It gets very confusing. A bit like the Offside
rule in "real" football.

Well, my first Father's Day will be delayed slightly...because of Brazil vs. Australia tomorrow morning, California time. But at least I have a wife who likes a sport.
Dave, I read a rather entertaining article about the German and English Press going at each other with The Sun and Das Bild getting particularly ugly...I need to find the article and then post it here..it's hilarious.
U.S. tied Italy today...good for them! But in order to keep the marriage strong, I am rooting for Brasil!
