Anyone else following the FIFA Women's World Cup? I caught part of that England-Norway match earlier, and I'm making a point of watching the Colombia-U.S. match tonight. Colombia looked good when they beat France last week, and these are the knockout rounds so it's do or die for all teams. Will the U.S. team move on to the quarterfinals? Australia already made it by beating Brazil... that was a good match too, I managed to catch that one in its entirety. Brazil usually fields a strong team, so that victory was a good sign for you Australian fans, LOL. Who knows? Maybe the Aussies will go all the way to the Finals, aye? It's a safe bet the German team will make it, they're pretty serious about the game.
Ah, well, I'm just glad these matches are on, this is a tough time of year for me when it comes to watching sports... I'm not a baseball or basketball fan, the Triple Crown races and the Indy race are over, and there's still a long way to go before football season (NFL). I like soccer too, especially at this level, so I'll be watching as many of the remaining matches as possible, right till the Finals on July 5th. Good timing, with my birthday and July 4th coming up... always a party at this time of year. I don't even leave this property on the 4th, this burg gets WAY too crowded with tourists and paradegoers; I'll stock the fridge in advance, BBQ out back and watch the fireworks from my roof, it's easier that way.
