While not exactly happy with the current state of affairs in Eng vs. USA, I will say that I am tooting along with the masses on the telly. With no plastic trumpet on hand, I am using the following...it is a "berrante" from Brazil. Used primarily to call cattle, sheep, other livestock in from the fields.
It certainly works to call my dogs into the room albeit with tentative reserve to come close to me...

Ha!! Yes! Still on a high this morning.. I missed the Uraguy vs France match last night.. ended up celebrating and then freezing my imaginary nuts off around a friends fire that wasn't very hot as far as fires go.
But... A draw? Yes! I will accept that and be happy with that. We haven't played that well in ages! And today, I am very proud to call myself a South African. The kids woke up this morning and started blowing their Vuvuzelas... I swore I would never buy one but... they made me cave and now I'm glad I did lol.
So um... I guess considering nobody lost or won yesterday.. we's still friends Mexican brothers and sisters??? Lol!!
I have to head out to a mothers tea organized by the shcool and then I'm back and glued to the TV lol.

We'll get the games but on pay channels or, as I prefer, the Spanish channels. For the finals, I'll go hang out at the local Mex restaurant with my Mexican buddies. We usually pack the place. Last round I literally lost my shirt. Brazil vs. France and I bet a waiter my Brazil shirt against a CLEAN shirt from the restaurant. Damn head-butting frogs! LOL!!

Ohhh, that one! Nope, wasn't him. In Spanish they pronounced that guy's last name as "gacha" ("ch" as in 'chimp'). Probably not to confuse him with Kaká...or maybe that's how its really pronounced. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Becks from Friday, June 11, 2010 4:48:45 PM)

Nope. It was a player whose last name was Shabalala, I think. The commentators would say "Shabalala---au!". It was funny at first, but after a while I wanted to say "shaddup. now." [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Becks from Friday, June 11, 2010 4:33:22 PM)

It is a complete fallacy that Americans aren't into the World Cup (or football in general). We all play and there are far too many hispanics here to believe it. Just not a great commercial success due to lack of airtime, promotion, etc.

It's the same here Guido, rugby is the biggest sport and football doesn't get as much air time as it should. We went to the world cup qualifying match in november last year, NZ vs Bahrain, and it was the most exciting sporting event I have ever been to. I've been to plenty of international rugby games, but that one match of football surpassed them all by miles.
