Hi.

The World Cup game 2006 is now on in Germany. Almost all Japanese people crazy about it. Many Japanese people go to Germany without ticket, actually.

How about your country?

Why so? If you don't want to watch just don't! :?

Yes Tora but people around us keep talking and talking about it; sometimes TV programs are rescheduled because of the games... It's all too much

LOL

(I don't mind because I seldom watch TV :D)

Hardi and Dixie, don't you like watching World Cup? Suprising really! Here in Vietnam, everyone seems to live in World Cup. We have been having a great time. Just one thing, lose much sleep as Germany has different time zone with us.

It's because you can't run?

You just don't know how cute those guys look in shorts. Look at them hunky, chunky thighs!

by the way - the australian coach is russian coach-to-be after the world cup!

Never liked that game. Maybe 3 times have played in sporting class on groundschooltime -stupid teacher panned.. I really disliked it... I'm too individualistic for that game. can't play with team.. I believe, most estonians have that fault. Everyone is for own.. I forgot for witch team I play.

Fortunately I don't have lot of friends around of me, who annoy me with footpall, but there is nothing to watch on tv. and that's catastrophe.

I had my exam already this morning either!

Do you watch it just because you can't help watching it or your team plays? What country do you represent here? :D

Posted: **Mon Jun 19, 2006 5:54 pm**

my exams, turn dam bad.....how about your's, i hope you turned out with flying colors

I update myself with every single match.

Posted: **Mon Jun 19, 2006 5:55 pm**

Sorry of Japanese, who must wake something about 4:00 morning to watch it.. One of my Japanese friend was worried already about weeks before. If she can wake for those games or not. Weird... I was sure, that only men are crazy about footpall.

Maybe if Estonian team was qualified, to worldcup, I would little interested too.. but to stay awake to see it?! My sleep is more worth than a game.

I've been watching the Spanish channels (you should, too), and I love how the sport reporter keeps yelling Gooooooooooooooooooool! and perfectamente legal. That's priceless. 8)

Watching Spain and Tunisia now. Gosh, that Tunisian goal keeper was stupid.

Oh please........ those Soccer guys are pansies compared to Rugby players or Aussie Rules Football Players. And you haven't seen the short shorts they wear either!

Did I type it wrong? Anyways, saw a few words today while the reporter was yelling, "penal, penal, penal, penal, penalty!" "excelente reaccion" "una..." something something something I forgot...

Gosh, what a spirit! So full of life! So making me love the games even more! 8)

Posted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 8:39 am**

I just didn't know you knew some Spanish :D ;)

Posted: **Thu Jun 22, 2006 4:26 pm**

I can guess some words, but sometimes they're not that obvious. I have to ask Chris (he's my dictionary when I'm too lazy to check it online) to know the meaning in that case.

Posted: **Sat Jun 24, 2006 1:45 am**

Actually, Japanese people are so crazy about that. They gather at cafe, bar, stadium and other places when the game is going on. Yesterday (the day before yesterday?), they gathered those place, even if the game start at 4 o'clock in the morning, at Japan time.

But you know theb result...

I haven't watched spanish channels though yesterday while france was playing against Togo russian sport reporter was sitting next to (I bet) his spanish collegues! When Henry stroke second goal our reporter kept silent while somewhere from the background spanish ones were yelling gooooooooooooal for 15 seconds I guess! They are times more active during the match! :o

Posted: **Sat Jun 24, 2006 3:17 pm**

Yeah, it's amazing how they can talk through the whole match. It's 90 minutes of reporting right there. And they yell repeated words for about 30 seconds or something. I like their enthusiasm.

Posted: **Thu Jul 06, 2006 2:05 am**

I would like to give my Expectations about who I think will win
it so bad that German had lost but I think france will win the would cub not Italy . and maybi German become the third .

Posted: **Fri Jul 07, 2006 5:40 pm**

Posted: **Sun Jul 09, 2006 6:42 am**

Today is the final match of world cup 2006 and I wish france wins .

Posted: **Sun Jul 09, 2006 9:15 pm**

Nooooooooooooooo

France lose what a bad luck , I wont forget this day but at least it is the second
they deserve to win but this is not their lucky day

Posted: **Mon Jul 10, 2006 6:39 am**

Wow, Italy has finall got the cup, huh? How long have they been waiting for it since the last time they got it? It seems like forever, to me.

If you are so amazed with that thing you have to hear them during the year (the Spanish League) because they do the same!!! In fact, there are a lot of Spanish people that watch the football match on TV without voice and put the radio on to hear the radio reporters voice, specially the program "El carrusel deportivo" of the Ser channel, they are very, very, very enthusiastic!!!!
