Not to mention that horrible table oil they fool me with, disguised as vinegar!

My favourite holiday destination, so fuck history.
I really like Spain, I like Holland as well but I've never been.
That's one place where I want to go next.
I said before the tournament started Holland or Germany will win, so if that's the final I'll be very happy.
But I hope it's Holland, they really deserve it. Grinding out win after win, technically good footballers. I hope Spain can beat ze Germans but I really doubt it.

The 1994 World Cup, in USA, was a torture to some teams due to the heat. The metrosexual team par excellence (Italy) played a horrible football (as always) and almost won the final. It wasn't as amusing as it was expected.

BTW, now the temperature in Durban (where next match will be played) is 21º C, which is unsually high for this time of the year.

It was rather amusing how Luis Enrique got his face smashed though

I felt like this was necessary to emphasis why Germany is going to win and USA didn't:

That image is etched on our memory. That's why we celebrated with so much joy the day we beat Italy at the Euro 2008.

The Italian national team is a misfortune for this sport. They play the most boring football ever. It seems their only aim is to tie, and then to win in the penalties. Look how they won the last WC final against France. That's why everybody was happy when they were eliminated after the first round this year.

Dear Yanky-doodle,


Paraguay 0:0 New Zealand
Italy 1:1 New Zealand
New Zealand 1:1 Slovakia

United States 1 : 2 Ghana
United States 1 : 0 Algeria
Slovenia 2 : 2 United States
England 1 : 1 United States

Spot the difference: USA lost a game and we didn't! We are ranked 76th and you are ranked 14th. We drew to Italy. Nuff' said.

Sincerly,
