Woke at 4:50 a.m., no alarm, I just
do it anyway, so I went downstairs
and pulled up a grainy spanish
language Univision feed of the
England-Sweden match. I'm glad I
did, catching three goals with the
enthusaistic announcer shouting
"GOL GOL GOL DE ANGLATERRRRRRRAAAA!!"
England scored what should have
been the winner while their supporters
were singing "God Save the Queen."
Now I'll support Sweden to knock
out the Germans.

On ESPN2 they reported that injured
Czech forward Baros of Liverpool fame
may be ready for the Italy match.
The two Ghana goal scorers from Sat.
are out with yellow cards but Essien
is still out there, circling like a
rogue shark...

OK, punch drunk off to work.
