Slovakia v. New Zealand
I actually get up every morning at 5:30 to start getting ready for work, so it's perfect for me these days to catch the first match of the day. Of course I'm stunned, stunned I tell you to see that another match ended in a tie. A tie! Poor Italy. Now it really has to win a match. Actually, now that I think about it, this was a good result for the Italians.
Though I have to say compared to four years ago, the refereeing at these matches has been superb. No team has won or scored a goal because a referee screwed up a call. At least not yet. The minute it starts, there will be much yelling on this blog.
Now I'm off to a conference. Go Portugal! And I still hate Brazil. But I'm not a fan of North Korea either, so I may go for them just to see Kaka cry.
