I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould

The only game I've seen is Japan vs Belgium which I watched in a waiting room. It was exciting and I felt bad for Japan. I probably won't see another game or even know who eventually wins. :hehe:

 It is getting pathetic. Like the English game last night. Bloody boring.
You're just saying that since the Scots and Dutch failed to qualify. :sulk:

I am glad the Dutch did not qualify. Everything is remaining quite normal.

Yes, none of those oafish Holland hooligans beating up innocent Russians.

Been quite peaceful up to now.

Well it has kept a load of rubbish out of the shops. The PBS broadcasts every game and online as well.

Carlisle is like a ghost town this afternoon. 23 million watched the game against Uruguay. I suspect 35 million will watch today's game against Sweden.

Hell - I hate football but even I'm going to watch it!
