Way to go!

 

You know, in just 435 days, 3 hours and ~20 minutes the world cup starts in South Africa!

Anytime I see soccer I am reminded of the Simpson's episode with American announcers calling a soccer game and then viewing the Spanish announcers calling the game. The spanish announcers were so amped as opposed to the americans that were so subdued.

Both goals are pretty

Yes, I hate that kind of horns too

 

Here's the soccer team I like, Atlético Paranaense, from my city. The staduim construction will be finished in next months.

 

It's the final of "state cup" (plays only teams from my state) Atlético wins this match by 2x1, but sadly, an early result give the cup for the opponent team. Stupid rule!

 

 

 

That 2:0 reminds me at Ballack's 1:0 against Wales yesterday.

Tickets were expensive, though - $50 each. My brother paid for them. Cheapest are $20; even at that price I dunno if I'll be able to go again. I'm used to paying $8 for the cheap seats...
