Unlike the Grimsby Wargamer, I am into the World Cup and I watched (or semi watched) the opening game with satisfaction. Most of the time I was busy moving my large books shelving unit from one side of the room to the other, but I managed to catch two of the goals as they were happening.
I cheered on Germany because they are our neighbours... and I have a soft spot for them in football games... and I love their national anthem! It actually brought tears to my eyes as I listened to it (classical German music is so beautiful! the 4 movement of Beetheovens 9th always gets me going). When they were up 3-1, I was kind of hoping the Germans would seal the game with a last goal, but their defending line up was terrible and it was not to be... alas. It would have been a cool start to the tournament if the Germans had massacred them with 4 goals to 1.
England plays tomorrow afternoon and I'll be watching that one as well.
The Swedes are also playing and I hope they get thrashed!

I've watched just about every game so far. It's not that I'm not into football (although admittedly it's not my favourite sport - comes well down the list) but my lad is in a BIG way. It's more a case of I'm sick of every advert, TV programme, radio show and newspaper being full of nothing but the football. It even made it's way into the F1 race at the weekend with a slot about the England team.
