Rah Rah Ree, Kick'em in the Knee! Rah Rah Rass, Kick'em in the Other Knee!

Those of you living in the US might not realize that the World Cup football (soccer) championships are currently going on. It's a big deal over here. Even the US is playing! But they're not doing so well.

We've been watching a few of the games, mainly so we can keep up with workplace conversations. It's actually somewhat enthralling.

Of the teams that have been playing, we've been rooting for England, US, and Sweden depending on who was playing. Personally, I'm rooting for Sweden first and foremost. Denmark is not in it for some reason. Tonight, Sweden plays England. We're having Swedish meatballs for dinner to show our support. Should be a good game. Both teams are pretty good and the English coach is a Swede!

Go Sweden! Show those silly little Brits how the game is played!

Well, it was a tense game. Twice it looked like England was going to win but then Sweden scored another goal to set it back to a tie. The most tense moment was the last five minutes. It had been 1-1 for a while, then England scored another goal and I thought it was over, but in the last couple of minutes Sweden nicked the ball into the goal one last time. The game ended with a 2-2 draw.
