Well, Saturday’s games were pretty dull, at least after the Swiss – Poland match. I was driving in the car, listening to the Portugal – Croatia match, and the BBC announcers were openly mocking the play, saying things like, “Well, if they’ve agreed to not play each other, why don’t they just shake hands and     just go straight to penalties?” Good thing it didn’t get to penalties – I don’t think the Beeb guys could’ve handled it.

Luckily, there are some better match ups today, so the day drinking should pay good dividends.

• France – Ireland – 9:00
• Germany – Slovakia – 12:00
• Hungary – Belgium – 3:00

And, let’s not forget the Copa finale. Argentina – Chile from the Meadowlands this evening. It’s almost enough to help get though one more day until the start of NFL training camps in 29 days.

Hopefully, Monday brings another update from litre_cola. If all goes well, he might be Prime Minister of Great Britain by the time he returns.
