I love love love watching the world cup. I love the dramas, the penalty kicks, the crazy fans and how the world comes together to watch it. It’s also the sport that I played the most as a kid, so I understand it best.
Watching yesterday’s match of the US with Algeria was exciting and fantastic and it left me anxious until the winning goal came during injury time. I’m thrilled that the US will go on to the next round. But I was disappointed for the Aussie socceroos as even though they won, they will not advance further. Such is the scoring system of the world cup.
I think that both the Americans and the Aussies need to improve their acting skills after an injury – all the European teams can play up the drama much more skillfully. I’ve missed watching Sweden this year – it was so much fun four years ago to be able to watch them, the Americans and the Aussies. All the pubs would be so overflowing with people that tables and TVs were set up on sidewalks. Last night, our local was packed for the Australia and England games, but there were no outside TVs. Oh well! Now let’s go team USA!
