Yeah, Kaká was... well, I didn't want him to score, I reeeeally wanted a draw or for Croatia to win. And I don't think it would have been a less than impressive draw, the Croatians did very well considering who they were up against. Their defense and their goal keeper were great. I just wish they'd taken advantage of their opportunities to score a little better. And as much as I hate the Brazilian team... Kaká is so DAMN CUTE! I was happy for him =)

And for the France v. Switzerland game, I was rooting for Switzerland, wondering when they would score, not France =P

yeah... what i mean by less than impresive is that the brazilians have won 5 titles, and 7 straight matches comming into that game that to not win that game it would have been a disapoitment to them..
but i agree... the croatians did a very good job! their defence was great.. it's a shame they didn't complete the looks that they had

between france and switzerland i had no favorite, i just thought france would score because henry and zidane... but that was the problem.. they relied on them a lil bit too much
and switzerland had like 2 close oportunities... i think the clearer ones out of the two teams.. especially that header (don't know if you know the one i'm talking about hehe!) it was a bummer to see it miss the goal...

YES! That header was INSANE! Two of the team members from Switzerland and one of the French team went falling into the net! Awesome!

Here's the cutie, Kaká:

Hehehehe...

Niko Kranjcar of Croatia is my favourite "no words needed" player. Sadly, the Croatian team doesn't have any beauty shots of the players. No modeling gigs for these guys... even though they're cute enough =)

Yep, he's the coach's son. His dad was a huge soccer star in Croatia, and now his son's even bigger. I would learn Croatian for him =)

It's too bad Kaká is married =P

Well, there's nothing hotter than a soccer player. That sport whips guys into amazing shape, and somehow a lot of these great players are very cute to begin with.

Anyone watch Spain this morning? I had a morning class, so I missed it, but it looks like they slaughtered Ukraine. I mean, taking a 4-0 shutout? I wish I saw the game.

HOLY CRAP! Saudi Arabia just scored a BEAUTIFUL goal! Good for them!

i saw it i like to sleep a lot and today i made an exeption and woke up early just to see them play! they played really well.. i was really impressed. They played really intense and never gave Ukraine a chance to get into the game. They were going at them really fast. I think Spain is a bit underated.
and another Plus... saw a couple of players there too.. if you know what i mean

GO SPAIN !

And I have to give Saudi Arabia and Tunisia credit, this is an intense second half! Awesome game!! They just kept throwin' you for a loop with their insane goals! I mean, holy crap, talk about a last minute goal from Jaidi!

IT WAS IN STOPPAGE TIME!!!!

Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt,
Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
Brüderlich zusammenhält,
Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
Von der Etsch bis an den Belt
Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt.

Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang
Sollen in der Welt behalten
Ihren alten schönen Klang,
Uns zu edler Tat begeistern
Unser ganzes Leben lang.
Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang

Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
für das deutsche Vaterland!
Danach lasst uns alle streben
Brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Sind des Glückes Unterpfand;
Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
Blühe, deutsches Vaterland.
