Weltmeisterschaft 2010 (World Cup 2010)

World Cup 2010 has been here for a week now and the whole world is watching in (well, most of it!) I personally have been excited about watching some of the games of the world cup this year. You see, I played football (soccer) all of my life! I love it! And so now to be in a country where almost everything will be shutting down to watch the game ( I will be honest) is pretty exciting. I have never in my life seen such an excitement over the World Cup! I love it!
Today Germany will be playing against Serbia at 13:30. I cannot tell you how many people that I have talked to who have let me know that their whole business will be shutting down and they will be watching the game! How crazy is that! And I live in a little village! I wonder what it is going to be like today in Berlin! And this is only the 2nd game! What is it going to be like when Germany advances on. Now I know that all things are possible (like Switzerland beating Spain), but after watching Germany play the other day, I have got to confess, if they keep playing like that, they will definitely end up in the finals!
Today the USA will be playing Slovenia at 16:00! As I have been talking with some of the people here in Germany who really know and do actually play the sport of football, they are quite surprised on how well the US did against England last week. Now I know that the England goalie really messed up on that shot and so the goal was more of a gift, but hey, we will take it. I think that England was lucky that the shot from the American at the end of the game hit the pole or else they would have won! I personally think that the American team does have a chance to be moving on to the further rounds of the tournament!
I actually had this thought today - what will happen when the US would play against Deutschland? That will be great! I look forward to it! (if it happens)

So until Deutschland and USA meet in an actual game - GO USA! GO DEUTSCHLAND!
