Anyone else following the World Cup?
I know some of the non-US members must be. But how many watched a fantastic game last night between US and Portugal? On paper, Portugal should have walked it, but Ronaldo is off tempo at the moment so there was an amazing come back from the US team who were denied a win by a goal in the last seconds. Heartbreak for all.
It was a crazy weekend with shock results for Germany and a last second goals for Argentina and obviously Portugal last night against the US
Out of the 32 teams in the finals, I think we have regular members from:
USA – many members obviously, possibly devastated today after being so close to getting through
England – many, resigned to another disappointing performance
Australia – several, as good a result as Spain in their group
Greece – Alex, about as expected?
Italy – JohnZ and others, surprise loss to Costa Rica
Netherlands – Rob, team doing better than expected?
Belgium – Jan, team also doing well
France – Domi, fine game against Switzerland
If you haven’t been watching, it has been the best World Cup in recent memory with records being broken all over the place. I watched most of it over the weekend, and the surprise game for me was the South Korea-Algeria game, particularly the second half.
