What a silly question LOL!! Brazil of course.... But, we never know ;-)

Brazil just won Australia and is in the second round, got pretty close to a tie (Australia got a couple of chances at scoring and didn't) but then Brazil scored another goal, only 2 mins to the end of the game!!!

Brazil 2 X Australia 0

YESSS! GOOOOOOL! I just watched the game Cris! I am Brasilian today! Wow - that goal by Fred was class! Substituted - and he came out to play!

What a thrilling game!

Japan-Croatia 0-0 - so so game

Braslian Nazli :-)

I know!! Fred made the substitution well worth while!! Now I have to get back to "real life" and get some studying done which is easier said than done in this heat... UGH!!!

I enjoyed the game - but even more after I switched to the spanish language station. The american commentators seemed bored and ran out of things to say early, settling down to complain that it wasn't the virgin birth and resurrection all at once, whereas the spanish speaking guys enjoyed every minute of the actual game that was occurring

I did the same Tom! I am used to watching the World Cup in Brazil and it's the first time for me in the US... I find that the commentators don't really know what to say, they don't talk about the passes and technique, etc. - things I am used to hearing on Brazilian TV. I can't understand everything the Spanish language station commentators say, but it is much better, no doubt!! They actually enjoy the game :-)

True that Tom & Cris!

Whenever a goal was scored - I quickly switched to the Spanish channel for the "appropriate reaction" ;-) and though I did not understand it - it was quite clear that the commentators were sharing my excitment for the game.

Also the Korea-France was excellent today! Japan-Croatia was alright, Japan playing the better game I thought!

Hope the weekend is well for you! ;-)

cheers
