World Cup Fever

The picture says it all, Angus and his good mates Clemens (German) and Repe (Finnish, but part Chilean) staying up late to watch the Australia vs Chile match.  With timezone differences the games here have been on each day at 7pm, 10pm, and 1am, so plenty of late nights and much discussion and post match analysis going on each day.

I'm in Lebanon this week, and there is a strong following for either Brazil or Germany here, the latter possibly for less than noble reasons which are better left unsaid.

As for Angus' prediction, it will be a France vs Germany final, and France will come up with the goods. Time will tell! In the meantime sleep deprivation will be the order of the day for many of us.
