As faithful readers of the blog will know, I am going to TAM in Las Vegas this weekend. I am currently writing from the airplane because I was bored enough to shell out the $13. It is the future. Today, I will land around 1PM and then I’m going to go get food at Baja …

Viva La Roja
So, not a lot to say about the end of the world cup, I just want to show this picture, which you should click to see a very awesome animated GIF, which I stole from someone else. I’m super happy for Spain!

Goodbye Uruguay
We will miss you. Diego Forlan just can’t be the only person on the team, you know. Still, they did better than I thought they would against the Netherlands. Just not good enough. If Spain doesn’t win tomorrow, I don’t think I’ll have any interest in watching the finals.

FIFA Predictions for Quarter-Finals: Pretty Good
It only missed one — the US loss to Ghana. Everything else was dead on. That’s kind of neat. Of course, if that success rate continues I’ll be sad because it will mean that Forlan won’t win the World Cup.

World Cup Day 14, Day 15, Day 16
This is what my system of just trusting FIFA rankings predicts. What I want to happen is for Uruguay to win… Landon Donovan needs to be treated like a national hero, but it probably won’t happen. He’s had most world cup appearances and goals of any male US player. US v Ghana — how heartbreaking. …

World Cup Day 9, Day 10, Day 11
So, the most important things we’ve learned in the last three days are. 1. Portugal kicked North Korea’s ass hardcore, and probably could’ve gotten more goals if it’d been more on target. 2. Spain seems to have regained its footing, its next game against Chile is important, but if they continue to play solidly they …

World Cup Day 7, Day 8
So, I’m beginning to think that unless you’re from Central or South America, you’re just here to disappoint me. And I’m not sure that that’s even right because I wasn’t impressed with Brazil. Even the Germans, who looked unstoppable after their total destruction of Australia, have lost to a minor team. I guess that’s the …

World Cup Day 5, Day 6
New Zealand v Slovakia An amazing last minute (literally) goal from New Zealand gave them their first point in the World Cup and earned them a draw with Slovakia, who’d been up since just after the half. Ivory Coast v Portugal For a scoreless match, this one was sort of interesting, though I would have …

World Cup: Day 4; Writing D4aD
Netherlands v Denmark Netherlands won as expected with the added bonus of a freak Denmark own goal. Japan v Cameroon Japan with an upset over Cameroon. Italy v Paraguay Italy was supposed to trounce Paraguay, and instead they ended up trailing for most of the game, and just pulling out a tie in the second …

World Cup: Day 2, Day 3
Halfway through the first round of group matches. Argentina v Nigeria Argentina, especially Lionel Messi, was incredibly agile and fast with the ball, but they were denied again and again by the fast and talented Nigerian goalie, Vincent Enyeama. Any goalie less talented and Messi would have had at least one goal and possibly three. …
