What a heartbreaker!

But you know they gave it everything they had. And I can't be sorry an African nation is through to the quarterfinals.




I'm sad though =(

(which doesn't mean I won't be watching England v. Germany with my little British-identified children tomorrow morning....)

I imagine you're not much happier today! I'm writing a soccer post right now so I'll be brief, but I was entertained by the announcers joking that Mick Jagger was the reason both the U.S. and England lost.

Oh, I'm a little happier ;) My boys' father (and my ex-husband) is English, so while they root for England (and I pretend to) seeming them get thrashed exorcised some lingering feelings, lol.

Actually, we ended up watching with a bunch of Germany supporters (their dad is German), but the kids managed to keep things equitable--even if we did have to play soccer for an hour in the 95 degree heat to work off all the excitement. Summer is hard work around here!

Looking forward to your soccer post!

I'm looking forward to Monday's Daily Show. I imagine Stewart and Oliver are going to probably do another great bit now that both of them are out of the Cup.
