This is kind of early but, I am getting excited for the world cup already. Are there any futbol fans here? Who do you guys want to win? I am wanting Spain to win.
Not a huge soccer fan, but I'll be watching the World Cup. Went to South Africa last year and saw a couple of the new stadiums they were building. Much excitement in South Africa for the World Cup.
New Zealand are in the finals for only the second time in history, so they're already heroes. We're just hoping they can score a couple of goals.
Oh, and......Australian got dicked by Germany this morning and that was satisfying.........;-)
For those of you who aren't from NZ, you've got to understand... this is HUGE for us. I was born the year we last made it to the World Cup and I'm damn near 30. While a draw against Slovakia doesn't sound impressive, consider the difference in international rankings (they're 34th, we're 78th). It was our first goal at world cup level too, so the NZ public is like a parent watching its baby take the first steps.
Bring on Italy, and... I don't feel sorry for this guy, lol.
