It's very intense.
I feel sorry for that one English guy who was a last minute sub and had to kick twice.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Oh totally, except he clearly was a penalty kick ringer and should have known better. When he went for it, even I thought "but there was no whistle!" And I am very dense when it comes to things like that.
Of course, since I was rooting for England, all English misses meant "aww" and all Portugal misses meant "yeah"!

That's why I feel bad for him - his only job all day was to make that penalty kick and he botched it by not waiting for the whistle. That has to suck.

Argh! I have errands to run, like picking up dog food and going to the library and picking up my sister's dog.
But the last time I drove my car was on Monday and I left the door open and the battery is dead. And I forgot to renew my AAA membership last month.
So I just went online and renewed my membership. How long should I wait to call AAA to come give me a jump?

Have you gotten a confirmation e-mail? If you have, I think you're good to call.

The ESPN curling announcers put the soccer commentators to shame.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I won't go near the ESPN commentary -- I'd much rather miss half of what they're saying on Univision than listen to the ESPN guys not bother to hide the fact that they don't know or care about soccer.

I just figured out yesterday that the ESPN commentator I hate the most used to play soccer in the US, so I guess it's just a different perspective and not complete ignorance.
My Spanish is sub-Sesame Street level, but even so one of my fondest memories is watching the '94 World Cup on Inivision down at the Laundromat in Chico. I could follow the game, so it didn't matter that I couldn't understand what anyone was saying. So fun.

Sadly, I lack Univision. Damn my illegal cable!
