ich bin ein auslander

An entire day wasted crafting a monster proposal. Better get the damn gig. Alright, the day didn’t start until 2:00 because I needed sleep after last night’s footie marathon.

No surprises in terms of the outcomes… Brazil and Germany advance, England and the USA go home. England deserved to lose against Brazil… a fairly strong first half but some key defensive mistakes lead to a 2:1 lead for Brazil going into the half. The second half, England seemed completely demoralized, and couldn’t put a single play together. Brazil was down a man for most of the second half, and England still couldn’t get it together, so adios. A shame, really. This should have been the most exciting game of the Cup…

The surprise game ended up being Germany v USA! Sure, it’s only a 1:0 win for Germany, but what a barnstormer! The US really outplayed the Germans, and have nothing to be ashamed about. Fly home with heads help up high. You played an amazing game, and should have won.

Got a few more hours until Spain and Korea… that one should be fun. I’m taping Senegal v Turkey because I just can’t do another alnighter and frankly, I couldn’t give a toss about those two.
