All sarcasm intended, but good luck to your favorite teams. I would, though, be for any team in any sport playing any team from France!

At one point there is a long pause and then he reads, "Yes, the French. Yes, I see you all. Go stand over there please, next to the Germans." Cruel. But funny.

Belgium got knocked out, but we are still rooting for USA and the Netherlands and anyone who can beat the Germans (Dutch sentiment here). Enjoy the replays on the morning news :-) Son nr. 2 is rooting for England (he is still upset that America fought against them for independance - we could have had a good soccer team!).

Quite a statement for Brits, as they are always bashing Americans for flying the US flag for any excuse. Haven't seen any flag hanging out of windows or flapping about cars except for the St George, which I sent to all the American men in my family. ;) The German-Costa Rican game was so awesome, although I was rooting for the Costa Ricans (where I've done mission work). They never gave up the fight! It was a hoot hearing the English presenters bend over backwards to try NOT to come up with any gaffes such as 'The German sub approaches the pitch ...' or 'As the concentration of German players near the camp, uhhh, goal ...'. ANYthing to reference the animosity held over from WWII. We are holding our breath when Germany and Poland play ... The England-Paraguay game was the usual disappointment with the own goal. Disgusting. We will definitely pull for Nati against France. Am not sure England will make it that far, but there's always hope. It's just too bad Thierry Henri, one of our faves from our team Arsenal, has to be French once every four years. At least he's married to a Brit. I'll be watching the match tonight with Nati and France. We're pulling for: England, USA, Switzerland, AND any team going up against France (with apologies to Henri!). :) Well, our flag is red and white, also … and ALL over the place!
