Gotta question...so, I called in work sick so I could OD on World Cup while Wifey is outta town....it's 1:20PM eastern time US....should I or should I not crack a beer right now?
most days i need only the tiniest excuse to crack at 11:01am. during the World Cup, you need only wait until hour before kickoff.
I'm shame-faced by my lack of Spanish. Maybe not that shame-faced. Having a good time, teaching is going well, but need to get some proper hours sorted next academic year (in Sept) as I'm working little, earning little, but having it large. Seeing enough sun that I've been informed that I could pass for a Spaniard, although I've never been labelled English until I open my pie-hole.
Just got an email from a friend who's sold his house in London and made a large profit. He wants to buy me a ticket to Thailand as he says he'd have more fun with me there, so I'm kind of looking forward to that if it pans out. Uruguayan bird... never really followed it up due to the lingo problem, and I'm also wondering how she'll react to England winning. She seems the angry type, so already thinking I might do well to avoid.
I just moved into a flat, but have to move out end of July. When I moved in, the French landlady (40ish) explained that she'd just split-up with her Brasilian boyfriend (50). Apparently he was getting jealous of the Chilean lodger (22). Things came to a head when the Brasilian walked in to the bathroom to the Chilean beating his meat. Brasilian got angry, started swearing, and threw the Chilean's bicycle down the stairs (3rd floor flat), tried to start on the Chilean who, as a sometime kickboxer and in much better shape, chose to laugh off the provocations for a fight. French landlady realised Brasilian might be a bit cuckoo, and kicked him out. Wanted extra money so here I am. Now slightly annoyed to hear that she's decided to move to Brasil to be with said nutter, but sailor V.

We call them elevenses. Can be had any time after 11am.
Hand full o' beers in, at this point. Australia/Netherlands is the game of the tourney (at this point, IMO)...Spain got GOT..still can't wrap my handegg brain about how that happened.
BTW, ended up watching the Chile/Spain game on the beach with a cooler because....the internet is fucking amazing and between my phone and a sound system I was able to do so with ease...it wasn't the beaches of Brazil but it'll do.
Thanks for the beer consumption advice, Strutteurs...
B/W
Don't forget about your randomly generated team...doth thou ride?????
My countrymen looked not great tonight, good thing the Dutchies won, but if they keep that level up they wont go far. I am calling it though: Van Persie/Robben tied for most goals at the end of the Cup.
IranÔÇÖs footballers at the World Cup have been told not to swap shirts with opponents at the tournament ÔÇô for fear of running out of supplies.
ÔÇ£We are not giving the players a shirt for every game, the players have to be economical with the shirts,ÔÇØ Iranian football federation FFI president Ali Kafaschian told Fars news agency.
The practice of swapping shirts after major games and events is common practice in football and for Iranian players who rarely encounter European or South American opposition, an opponentÔÇÖs shirt would have a memorable souvenir to take back from Brazil.
As Iran face Argentina and Lionel Messi in their second group match, it is hard to imagine the players not ignoring the ruling from the FFI president.
When one remembers that Iran stands to earn a minimum of $8 million from the tournament, the decision to stop players exchanging jerseys with a retail value of approximately $50, seems churlish in the extreme.
The Iran federation has, meanwhile, been trying to address complaints from players and coaches about the quality of the kit supplied.
The new shirts are made by the small German football manufacture Uhlsport, who have been the official shirt supplier for the Iranian National Football team since 2012.
However, the players appear to be recipients of a rogue batch.
Reserve keeper Ali-Resa Haghighi has been quoted as saying his tracksuit in size XL shrank to medium after the first wash ÔÇô but the federation president claims he washed it at the wrong water temperature. Haghighi, clearly, is a man who does not normally do his own laundry.
In the event of an unlikely run to the final, the quality of these shirts really will be put to the test.
Iran play in Group F against Nigeria, Argentina and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
And they kind of look like they are bumming each other there.
lol i scrolled back up and, sure enough, the 3 dudes in the middle are gettin it in.
i don't know shit about soccer but have been really enjoying following this world cup so far. one question tho. why do a lot of the british announcers call the goals with so little energy? especially on the radio... i'm listening like "oh shit, wait, did he say he scored?". obviously the spanish broadcasts are fuckin awesome and you know EXACTLY when a goal is scored, but, even the americans give it some enthusiasm on the call. just curious....
