So I consider myself to be pretty patriotic. I bedeck myself in red, white, and blue on Independence Day; observe moments of silence or attend services on Memorial Day and 9/11; make the effort to research and exercise my right to vote; keep up with the latest news locally and nationally; and in all other respects, do my best to be a contributing, informed citizen.
But all this aside, I think I'll be going to unpatriotic jail after today. Because I

We'll see what happens today down in Brazil. If both Germany and the U.S. make it through to the next round, there is the possibility that they could face each other again when it's down to the final four teams. I'll probably be just as torn again.
Oh, who am I kidding? Deutschland vor, noch ein tor!
Do you watch soccer/football? Has your team advanced to the round of sixteen?

I am so looking forward to the matches tonight. Must say i hope Germany will go very far (which I think they will) Still remember when they won in 2002 :)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping they go all the way! Today was about as satisfactory as it gets - the US lost but still continues. And Germany won the group. Woo!
DeleteI really am hoping for a draw. Germany is the better team by far and I definitely see them making it to the final four. The US really has no chance to make it that far, in my opinion. They have a lot of promise but they just aren't on the same level as many of the other teams. Still, I'd love to see them in the second stage...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they're both advancing! It was a good game for the most part, although I wish the Americans had been able to tie it up. Overall, though, I'm happy. :)
DeleteOye! I must disagree, even though I'm currently living in Germany and ate a cookie this morning with the German flag on it! :D May the best man win!
ReplyDelete:) Well, it still worked out in the end! Germany wins the group, and the US advances. They won't have to meet again for a while! Good game!
DeleteUnfortunately my team was an absolute disaster this World Cup! England, well they are just the same old mess year after year so no need to feel sorry for me :) However, I will be pulling for both USA and my fellow European teams for the remainder of the tournament. Good result for both teams today for sure!
ReplyDeleteIt's really a shame that they can't make it through. I have a lot of friends who follow England's teams and the lamentations on FB after their performance this year was woeful. :P
DeleteLooks like they both are going through!!!!! I have to say that we were most def for USA last night!!!!!!
ReplyDelete:) I'm glad they both made it through. It's definitely the best case scenario in my book!
DeleteOoh, controversial! I guess if you'll be in Germany for the World Cup matches you're quite right to be sporting them though! I have no interest in the World Cup really, but did get Ivory Coast in a sweepstake so was following them, in the loosest sense of the word, until they didn't get though.
