Winding down before ramping it up.

Day 30. What happened in Brazil today.

Aren't you all happy I spared you a day? I needed a rest day after the mental exhaustion of figuring out how to watch the Argentina-Holland semi, quickly followed by the realization that it was going to be one of those overly cautious, we don't want to lose matches. The ironic thing was that the incredible Germans seemed to get everybody talking. Non-sports fans and non-football believers had heard that something unbelievable happened in this FIfA world cup thingy. (btw, am I the only one who is amused/annoyed by how this world cup is constantly called the FIFA world cup. Next it will be the FIfA Adidas Macdonalds World Cup). So more people watched on Wednesday and that's what they got.

Tomorrow we have the match of Losers, the match neither team ever wants to play. And this time we have the Brazil factor. Will a win bring back a bit of pride to the country? Or, as I suspect, is it too far gone for that?

Anyway, if anybody is watching the Losers tell me about it.
