Stop the banter!! We are off, well, kindo of, pele and Ms Schiefer are poncing around with the trophy at the moment, but the buzz is building!!

yay

prediction
Germany 4 Costa Rica 1

Our cable has gone down.

Yes, I can still watch it on Thai TV.

They have Seph Blatter and Franz Beckenbaur (sp?) speaking about Thai King Phumiphol Adunyadet's anniversary today for his 60 years as king, the longest reigning in the world, I believe. Like they even knew of him before this. Love that autocue. It's so forced. Whole damn country has come to a standstill, but right now all I want to do is watch the football. Anyways, here's to the World Cup and the king's 60 years.
