With World Cup upon us I will cheer on the following teams.

South Korea--to make the wife happy; unlikely they can move on being in the same group with Mexico and Germany.
Mexico--to make SIL happy.  Would also be fun to see them get past the round of 16.
Argentina--I like Messi.  Tired of seeing him blamed for his teammates missing open nets and such.  Maybe he will come through like Ovi did.
England--just because it's been so long since they have had success and the sport is so important to them.
Any underdog that makes it out of their group.

Some interesting games the first weekend.

Portugal vs. Spain, Friday @ 2PM
Germany vs. Mexico, Sunday@ 11AM







On the ride from Wiehle to the end of the line on the bus   ....   my driver was from Morocco.    Great soccer conversation.
