Its hot, today we had 30 C in the shade and it felt like real summer! Am now listening to the 'Live in Berlin' version of 'Buck Dich'
Alas I spent most of the day prostrate in front of the box, waiting for the Brazil game and sorting out old reference images (part of my big summer clean out). I had so many old news paper clippings, pin ups, post cards and assorted sketch work that I'd stuck into ring binders meaning to get around to using it at 'a later date'. I also had a mound of role playing and sci fi idea's that were upwards of fifteen years out of date. I put 11 ring binders and 5 folders full of crap into the bin today.
I love shedding dead skin!
So any way... the World Cup... France Vs Switzerland was an almighty major snore fest. I can't believe the French are still relying on old man Zidane. They must be fucking desprate!
...excuse my French.
Mette was in the room with me (sewing baby clothes) whilst South Korea beat Togo and we both cheered on the Asians seeing as how they were all so small compared to the Africans, but really, my heart was impatient to see Brazil playing Kroatia.
Apart from Denmark, I think Brazil is my favourite team (I'm still hopping the Germans or the Brits win the contest though). Mostly because they are so damned good, but also because they play with such a laid back flair. Its like watching an angelic ballet at times.
By the way, Wikipedia, as usual, has excellent info on the games.

Like you I was eagerly waiting for the Brazil game. I couldn't wait to see Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Adriano and the rest show us how football should be played.
What a disappointment. Ronaldo didn't deserve to be on the pitch. The Brazialians were shown up on the break and the tackling was poor.
Crotia were the better team for just about the entire game. better in the bak and quicker on the break.
Yeah, it was a slow game for the most part. Mette favoured the Kroatians but I was glad to see them loose since they kicked Denmark out of the running!
