Brave Vesperia, Do you happen to have a close up of the first few characters? I would say that it is Chinese characters, as I can recognize a few of them. If I can remember to show my Chinese teacher, I will let you know what she says.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to watch the Germany v Brazil game tomorrow, as I will be on a red eye flight to Beijing. I might be able to catch the last few minutes, if there is a tv screen in the terminal. Fingers crossed! I'm really hoping for Germany and Netherlands wins and advancement...

Brave Vesperia, How old are we talking? I don't mind looking at it. Hopefully, I can help you out. ^.^

Brazil vs. Colombia = Brazil Reason: I actually did not expect either team to get this far. And, I don't really have a preference. My reason for going with Brazil out of these two would be because Brazil is the host country. Netherlands vs. Costa Rica = Netherlands Reason: The Netherlands...

There will always be bad calls by referees. However, the referees in this WC are doing much better than in recent previous WCs. I am sure those that watched the 2006 WC will remember the many red cards that were dished out, mostly undeservedly. And, just because a call is controversial it does...

I disagree. I think many of the refs have actually been making good calls and decisions, unlike in past WCs where several red and yellow cards were normal in a match. If anything, the refs have been letting the ball play. The refs are ignoring protestations for fouls and pks that are unfounded...

The attack on Robben definitely met the minimum requirements of a PK. 'Twas not a dive. There was a bit of overreaction by Robben (he "used the situation"), but the maneuver was still a foul, as Robben had control of the ball at the time of "contact." Besides, the Netherlands was denied a PK...

Even though Brazil is playing on home turf, I'm not sure if they can win. And, playing on home turf doesn't guarantee a win, just look at Germany playing in Germany in 2006. If I recall, they were one of the favorites to win. Brazil is not the team they once were, that could pull off multiple WC...

I don't think that Mexico has it in them to beat the Netherlands. The Netherlands is one of the best teams and is doing really well. Mexico would need more than luck to win. I expect the Netherlands to get to the final. Winning that, however, is another matter.

Thank goodness Luis Suarez got a ban and a fine from FIFA after his "vampire bite." This probably means goodbye to Uruguay during the round of 16. I'm disappointed in South Korea. They definately have better in them, but they just couldn't get it together. I suspect a better run in Russia in...

It was such a brutal game. It seemed like every other play someone was down on the ground. Apparently, Suarez is nicknamed "the cannibal." It fits.

Luis Suarez bites someone again! Seriously? This time, he bit Giorgio Chiellini in the Uruguay v Italy match. Italy really needed to win/tie this match to advance to the round of 16. However, they went down a man early in the second half due to a red card. I was kinda pulling for Italy to keep...

I have always wanted to complete the Pokedex on all my games, but sadly I was unable to do so after Pokemon Yellow. Even though it is more possible to complete the Pokedex with this generation, it's nearly impossible due to many of the legendary Pokemon. Very few even have the rare legendaries...

2-2 USA v Portugal The US actually played very well today. I was expecting Portugal to do better, even though Ronaldo is injured. The Portuguese goal in the last few seconds was disappointing. The US deserved to have the win. The whole group has opened up again. US v Germany will be very...

Nigeria is only winning due to two controversial referee calls. I'm not a fan of anyone in this group, so I don't have a preference on who should advance. I just see these teams as cannon fodder for the round of 16, unfortunately. Edit: However, with the way this WC has progressed, I wouldn't...

2-2 Germany v Ghana Germany could have done better against Ghana. They seemed really lacking until Schweinsteiger and Klose came on (still don't know why they are "benchwarmers" at this WC. And, where is Podolski?). Kudos to Klose for getting his 15th WC goal - tied with Brazil's Ronaldo for...

Spain WAS the "hottest team" years ago. Now, not so much anymore. The 2006 WC had some of the best looking men. Too bad that most have retired or are now benchwarmers.:(

Happy Birthday! ^.^

RE: Odd/silly things you used to think As a small child, I believed that the only foreign country was Paris (obviously a city) and that Parisians only ate baguettes. I should mention that my favorite tv show was Madeline.

The match with Germany and Portugal (4-0) was so much fun to watch! Well, from a German fan's perspective. ^.^ Is it just me, or is it fun to see Christiano Ronaldo get shut out? Portugal's performance was really poor and embarrassing to watch. Will they actually make it out of the group...
