Withdrawal Symptoms

Even though the World Cup is officially ending this Sunday, my World Cup ended when Argentina was unceremoniously booted out by those Germans. So I already have withdrawal symptoms. The tournament just flew by faster than you can say, those damn Germans wasted our time! Yes, they wasted our time, they should have just let Arg go through, cause they were the better team. And no, this is not a biased opinion!

Now we have to wait another 4 years for World Cup glory. 2010. South Africa's turn. Many people (s0me who don't even know what the hell they are talking about) have already criticised SA that it will somehow manage to screw everything up and produce a most disastrous event. Let's give SA a chance, ok? This country may be inexperienced, for sure, but anything can happen in four years. If anything, this economy needs this.

Anyway, back to the current World Cup. It's down to France and Italy now. Who is going to win? To ease Ferdi's decision-making, I used some food analogies, which he loved. It's a choice between ravioli and french fries. Ferdi loves chips, but also loves pasta. So that didn't really help things much. But eventually he chose the french fries, since we have had enough of the Italians. So vive la France! Let's see if Zidane will get to lift the cup once more!

On a less important matter - Germany is fighting the Portuguese for third place. Another food analogy: eisbein versus prego rolls. I am not a big fan of eisbein (since I only eat beef), so prego rolls it is. Ronaldo just better keep his diving skills to a minimum. Word from Ulrike and co in Germany is that they are preparing a big party for tomorrow in the church hall. They have just gotten a truck full of alcohol. Yes, a truck full. Now why am not there???

Have a good weekend everyone.
